l 10 congress. and We aWOke this morn
 ing, October l2, 1900, to find Wilson gone and N. 4. Smith in the political bed with Us in place of Smith. Cou- rier. We would like to ask the col onel which one of the two he con, id- CTS the best bedfellow?
 Yavapai democrats feel tha humila- ten and sting of ;he withdrawal Q their candidate kecnly, and il Geir contention Of facts in and behind the ] controversy over the nomination of a regular candidate say that the chair man of the Smith wing of democracy at PheniA, was ne-or cyen recognized by his own gathering. No nomina- tion of a can,Ii,.at, was made, and that Smith iS nothing more than an usurper of the hunorS, in other words a blatant blufer who. unlike Wilson. considers himself a bigger man than his party is.
 1 The International Typographical union has never taken a more proges- sive or commendable step than when. at its recent annual meeting. it directed its executive council to do what it can 10 abolish strikes. with the accompanying recon mendation that a permanent board of arbitration be formed and maintained. Such a policy will worl, for the advantage of employer and employee alike. It is in line with the 1. enlightened policy of this organiza- tion to conclude that in the printing trade, at any rate, there has been enough of the costly and vexatious fruitage of strikes.
 There is one thing the democratic ! speakers of Arizona have done in the campaign so far, and that is they have been consistent in every argument. They have misrepresented facts to a finish.
 Banks in Kansas are going out of business because no one wants to bor- row any money. The only way for them to make anything, apparently, is to rent their vaults for storage rooms for the farmers money.
 . A Chicago peddler has made money 1 dyeing common English sparrows a bright red and selling them as.red birds. He also dyed Elgin rabbits and sold them for Belgin hares. The gentleman will vote for Bryan.
 In June, 1893, not long after Cleve. land had assumed the emperor S throne in the white house, the aggre- gate bank clearings in fifty-fve of the principal cities of the United States were S3,5OO,OOOOOO. a decrease of over one-ffth from June, 1892. This year in June the bank clearings in the cities aggregated S6O0OOOO.OOO. A pretty good earnest of prosperity. The Courier has asked its delin- quent patrons to come in with some dough" due it on account. That is very inconsistent in the Colonel in view of his Jeffersonian plea of right and wrong on such little matters as the old P. & A. c. bonds. In one breath he wants people to pay up and in the next he asks them to pay not.
 One pleasant thing can be said of Mark Smith, the left bower of the twins. In ten years's service in con gress, he never did anything against the territory, or anything for it.
 The religion of the territorial dem ocrats this year will probably have to be the gospel according to Mark.
 The popular vote of Mckinley in 1896 was 7.1G4779; of Bryan, 6,5O2,- 925. The total popular vote was l3,- 923,37S.
 Rumor says the democratic doctors intend to perform an operation upon the heavenly twins and although it may kill one of them it is thought the other may survive until election day.
 The announcement is made that the scientific name of the missing link" is pithecanthropus erectus. This should console Wilson and Smith, as they each can take half, and let it go at that.
 It cannot be said that the trusts are crushing out individual enterprises when the census shows that up tc date there are 52S.eOO manufacturing establishments in the country as against 322.62S in 1890.
 Word comes from Graham county that at the last meeting of the dem ocratic executive committee of that county, strong effort was made to endorse Smith as the regular nominee of the democratic party, as delegate, . but was voted down.
 The Roswell Register says; The editors of the Pecos valley are unfortunate in being cut off from the other portions of the territory by lack of railroad connections. and thus prevented from fraternizing with their brethren. New Mexico is direlict in its ideas of modern transportation methods. It should have its legisla- ture pattern after the tax exemption law of its sister territory.
 The Courier still calls upon Ills to mention "one solitary fake scheme that it has supported. The Journal Miner does not claim that the Courier has supported any individual svindle but what it does claim is that by its 7ilification of \. o. Murphy for ex-
