On Monday night D. D. G. E. R. $. J. Nicholson of Phoenix, assisted by members of Flagstaff Lodge and Pres colt Lodge, instituted Winslow Lodge, B. P. o. Elks. The ceremony was held in the opera house and the herd was branded to the number of forty five. After the installation of officers banquet was had at the Harvey house at which seventy-five Elks did their best to make the occasion lively one. as Winslow Lodge will be the last one instituted in Arizona for many years to come, as lodges of Elks cannot hereafter be organized in towns of less population than 1000.

More scrubs" seek adlermanic
honors than any other public of>
fee. Grand Junction is not alone
in this particular relation. Such
odor of schemes, jobs and general
laxity of business methods, attach
to this important public position
that it is hard to secure business
men, with a fine sense OF honor and
personal probity to accept such
position Expediency is the rule
which seems to govern in selecting
candidates. Men with a minimum
amount of brains, but preponder-
ance Of pliability are pushed upon
the people because they can be
used as tools. Brains and back>
bone are usually bar for munich
pal preferment Many men sitting
in this position, in towns and cities,
placed their by unscrupulous and
designing men, could not serve
those men as roustabouts, yet their
voice and vote is used in squander>
ing, with less business judgment
than jack rabbit, millions of pub
lis revenue the peoples money.
Fortunately for Grand Junction,
the men SO far nominated for muni-
aipal office, with few exceptions,
are men of affairs. However, in
our hearing yesterday, two Of these
candidates, we'll known men, were
lamenting the fact of their nomina-
ton and would have withdrawn
had not the personal entreaties of
their friends induced them to re-
main on their respective tickets.
AS far as we are concerned, how
ever, in the future history of this
city, it is our purpose to attempt to
overcome this idea, that because
man is not personally popular, he
is forever Ineligible to public office.
These men, unpopular though they
be, in any serious strait of the city
are always appealed to, yet il nam
ed for Office, every human fest, pos
litical scrub and general nincom-
poop are barking in unison for their

WASHINGTON.
From our Regular Correspondent.


Washington, Aug. 20, 1900.
The Administration S keep.it-
dark policy has been turned on the
Chinese news this week. Every
body in Washington knows that i'm
portant news was received from
Minister Conger-so important that
Mr.. Mckinley returned a day ahead
of the time he had appointed, b't
what it was is merely guessworS,
and Assistant Secretary Adee act
ually had the nerve to say that he
thought the newspaper men should
refrain from guessing at the natule
of the news, lest it might be guess.
ed right and harm done. Accord
ing to latest advices from the allied
army, it should be at Pekin by this
time and able to prove whether the
Chinese government means war or
peace-whether the foreigners in
Pekin are to be allowed to go to
their friends or to be kept as Lost-
ages by the Chinese government.
When the facts have been given by
the press dispatches the admistra-
ton will probably give out the Off
cial news, unless it is calculated to
reflect on Mr.. Mckinley of his
wobbling policy.
Mr.. H. r. Shade, who is in
charge of the German bureau at
democratic headquarters, said the
bureau was receiving many letters
from Germans, commencing Col.
Bryans indianapolis speech and
announcing their intention to vote
for him because of his sturdy stand
against imperialism. Speaking Of
recent publication, Mr.. Shade
said: Il notice that the republicans
think they have trump card n a
number Of German band uniforms,
brought to Chicago from the Faith
erland by special permission Of the
German government. l think they
will be mistaken in the value Of
those uniforms as vote-getters. In
stead of commanding the admira-
ton and enthusiasm of the German
voter the uniform will remind him
of the Imperialism of the fatherland,
which he came to this country to
avoid"
In the six National elections
since Grant was President said
, Col. J. b Cleaver, of Tenn, "the
democrats have had plurality Of
! the popular vote four times and the
republicans but twice. Garfield
had plurality in 1880, although it
amounted to but 1000 votes, and
Mckinley in 1906. In 1876 Til
den had plurality over Hayes; in
1884 Cleveland over Blaine; in 1888
Cleveland over Harrison, and again
i'll 1892 Cleveland over Harrison.
Because Mckinley had a plurality
of Goo. 900 four years ago is no
reason why Bryan should not have
plurality this year. Greater
changes than that have taken place,
even years ago when the total vote
was much smaller. In 1892 Grant
had plurality of 100, 900, and in
1896 Tilden's plurality was $780,

Probably few people who live in

can be seized and sold for school
taxes due upon the property they
occupy. The tenant has an oppor-
tunity, however, to square himself
with his delinquent landlord. I'm
der an act of Assembly the tenant
can deduct the taxes paid by him
from the rent due, and the produc-
ton Of his tax receipt is valid dis
charge of the rent to that mount.
In this manner the tenant can pro-
tect his personal property from levy
and sale to pay taxes which his
landlord has failed to settle.
