NORRIS RESTAURANT.

A good restaurant is'a good adver- tisement of town. B. F. Norris res taurant on South Second street is cal culated to help make its patrons feel satisfied with Phoenix and keep them here There must be something at tractive about restaurant. The first attraction of Norris restaurant is it's 20-cent dinners. PeCpte go to see what kind of dinner it is. The neat ap- pointments of the place, the well cooked food, draw them again and again, and the price which first attracted them is lost sight of and they are reminded of it only when they are pleasantly surprised when they come to pay the bill. The tables are clean and we'll furnished; the chairs handsome and comfortable, and the dining room large, pleasant and well ventilated. No doubt the cheap ness of pleasant living at this resta1- rant has been the deciding vote when many a man has been uncertain Wheth- CT to leave or remain in Phoenix.

The Rev. Lewis Halsey: The several chOirS of the Phoenix churches are to be especially congratulated on their ac- cOmpanists.

Norton; Methodist Episcopal, south, Miss Maggie Alsap: Christian church, Miss Zella Dysart. The Philharmonic society has had for its accompanies Mrs. J. E. Deity. Mrs. Vernon Clark, Mrs. w. C., Barnes and Miss Mary E. Halsey. Ms. J. E. Walker is the aecompanist of the Treble Clef All of these ladies are skilled musicians and sympathetic ac cOmpanists.
 o. H. Sanders of Chicago: To a stranger coming into the city I do not believe there is a better advertisement than the appearance of the court house yard. Really I have never seen any thing equal to it at tfis time of the year and it certainly is appreciated by visitors. The people of Phoenix can not comprehend the severity of the weather in the east, and if they could, they would find reason to congratulate themselves Cn climate which permits such beauty at this season of the year
 
 George w. Morrison: The band con- certs are certainly splendid features in Phoenix. It is not every city that can enjoy them during every season of the year and that is the reason why they are pleasing to tourists and visitors.

 George w. Hull is expected back from the east during the coming week.
 It is said that Coffee Al'' of Phoenix is looking for a location at the new city Of Jerome, having disposed of his famous. establishment at the capital. | J. D. Whelpley, one of the staff of the Kansas City Star paid a visit to Jerome on Monday last, on an assign ment to write up the camp for his paper. MT. Whelpley was one of the seventy eight newspaper men in Cuba during the last unpleasantness, and achieved distinction by getting the first ':bad beef" story from General Miles published by the American press. He also afterward made famous "beat" by sending his paper mass of army and navy dispatches which passed between the departments and General Shafter, and Admiral Schley.
 J. J. Sanders, one of the Yavapai members of the late legislature, was a visitor to Jerome during the past week

 With the advent of spring the hobos are flocking into this afflicted camp. At this season they can live al fresco and beggars never go hungry here. It is possible that the new city govern ment will endeavor to discourage this class of immigration. and the inaugu- ration of Q chain gang on the streets would doubtless persuade the Weary Willis and Tired Thompsons" to migrate further southward-say to Phoenix.

TO PREVENT DEADLoCKs.

The failure of several states to elect United States senators and the dead
 lock still existing in Pennsylvania have given risen to some suggestions having for the object the abolishment
 of the disgracefUl political intriguing l by which it is now possible to rob a commonwealth of half it's senatorial
 geStions is credited to Senator Hoar, and is to the effect that senators shall
 be chosen by plurality vote instead of
 majority as is now the custom in all
 the states. The federal constitution
 provides that senators shall be elected
 by the legislatures of the several
 states. and that the time. place and
 manner of election shall be prescribed
 by the legislatures: but there is noth
 ing to prevent congress from prescrib-
 ing the method of election of it's own
 membership, article l. section " of the
 constitution distinctly giving the na
 tional legislature this power. Its way
 is therefore easy to end the disgraceful struggles in which our state legisla- lures so often become involved If the governors of Our states and the mayors of our city can be chosen by a plurality
 vote, the same plan can be applied 10 the selection of senators with at least as little danger of subverting the pop ular will. Even if senators were elect ed direct by popular vote the plurality plan would undoubtedly prevail. The necessity for some remedy is plainly obvious from the conditions in Pennsylvania, where the democrats. who represent a hopeless minority in the state and have not the slightest chance Of being successful in the pres ent contest, are able to prevent a choice, the opponents of Quay being in still greater minority and without candidate upon whom they can unite. l Times are not rare where the depriva- tiOn of one vote to a party or of q state may affect the welfare of the | whole nation, and there ought to be | some remedy for condition of things never intended by the founders of the government
Arizona republican., 1899-03-31

A new party is to be formed at a
 national convention soon to be held tn Buffalo, some of the leaders inter- ested being eminent in their respective callings, such as W. D. Howells, Ly- man Abbott, John Brisbin Walker and Samuel Gompers. A very respectable and seemingly suspicious -inaugura- tion; but the trouble will be not with the leaders. The party will attract every theorist, every wagarist, every hobby-ridIer, every heterodox econo- mist, every false prophet, every fiatist and all who are "agin' the government on general principles. Just as they 1ocked to the greenback and peoples parties, so they will flock to the new political division and they will over ride it as they have done its pre- decessors. There will probably not be a. single issue upon which all it's mem bers can agree.

THE NORTHERN NORMAL.
The Board Returns From inc Flag
 staff Session.

The members Of the normal school | board returned yesterday from Flag staff, where a meeting was held last Monday for the purpose of establishing
 the northern normal, provided for by
 late legislative act.
 The board found good beginning in
 an excellent, but unfinished building,
 upon which so far s30,O00 has been ex-
 pended. The structure as it now
 stands consists of an imense main
 building and an equally immense; spreading east wing. It has been! con-
 structed of red sandstone of the best possible quality The windows have
 been put in, the structure is under roof and the interior is finished to the joists and rafters The board has $2O,O00 at it's disposal. Only $10000 can be expended upon the completion and the equipment of the structure. The rest of the appropriation is for the maintenance of the school for two years. The equipment will cost about 2,500, so that only $7,500 will be available for construction. This will be applied to finishing a comparatively small part of the enclosure.
 The board expects that the new school will open with membership of not less than fifty. Only two teachers will be employed this year. The school year will begin in March and end in December Thus the long va cation will be arranged in deference to the climate of Flagstaff and the school | will ba different in this respect from | any other in existence. The midsum- mer term will no dcu5t be attended by many teachers from the southern part ! of the territory, many of whom would | spcnd their well earned | wages to no purpose on the coast. This | season at Flagstaff may become the corner stone Of Chau tauqua of which Flaffstaffians dreamed | when the Harvard observatory was i there few years ago.
 Secretary McClintock of the board | believes that the building will be ready for occupancy by July f5. He is now preparing to advertise for bids for construction and equipment.
