DTNdu COuiluuCS tO ItlltIdlt HIS lll- tention to call an extra session of con gress, in case of his election, to take action on the Philippine question.
 It would be of some interest if the managers of the democratic campaign would name some of those states they intend to carry at the approaching election whereby they can elect Bryan. Republicans give the states that they propose to carry and do not designate them in a general way as several"
 Our contemporary was probably correct in saying that Mark Smith is not a resident of Arizona, but of Los Angeles. When Mir. Smith is in Ari- zona he makes his abode in Tucson, but the Phenix Gazette says that ''the great register of Pima county fails to disclose the name of Mark Smith. Either Mark did not care enough about the schools to pay the poll tax or he was too lazy to take the trouble to register. In either case he is not entitled to the votes of men who stand for the schools and abhor laziness, carelessness, and the showing of lax regard for the highest privilege of citizenship" When our contempo- rary discovers this fact it will no doubt throw up" the dish of crow which it has been feasting on, and throw Mark overheard. At least, if it Is consistent it will.
 During the recent sickness of the editor of our contemporary he evi- deatly overlooked the explanation of every veto interposed by Governor Murphy. These explanations have been entirely satisfactory to every fair minded man as it has been shown that every bill vetoed of which an at tempt to manufacture political capital has been made was faulty in itself and would not have accomplished the end desired if it had become a law. The fact is that these bills, for the al legged benefit of, or in the interest of workingmen are usually introduced in the legislature by political dema- gogues who have no more interest in the workingmen than the man in the moon, but by making a play of this kind hope to popularize themselves with this. class of voters. They do not want their bills passed, and for fear that they should become a law. either by design or accident they get their bills in such shape that they would accomplish nothing if passed. They get their names before the peo- pie, however, by their introduction and then pose as the friend of the workingman.
 Elswhere in this issue will be found the official record of that much talked of blacklisting veto of Governor Mur- phy. The record itself is widely at variance with the assertions made in reference to that veto. It shows that every member of the house present voted to sustain the governors veto. after the faulty condition of the bill had been called to their attention thereby fully justifyingthe governors action.

 Light has commenced to dawn on the Goebel murder case in Kentucky. One of the witnesses on whose testi- mony Caleb Powers was convicted, has confessed to perjury. He says he was paid for giving his testimony by Attorney Campbell and Arthur Goe- bel. The stain on the state caused by GOebeI's assassination has been ad- ded to by the political-judicial perse- cution of republicans since.
