WHY WE LAUGH.

Poor old Work. He has at last
met his Waterloo In the begin
ming of the campaign he remarked
that "The Trib is never considered
in politics anyway Later he
discovered that his statement
wouldn't hold water, SO he invited
us to get into the bandwagon and
ride into the city hall with Tullis
ct al" We declined his cordial
invitation preferring to march at
the head of the procession with
Mayor Jacobs, Work has stopped
TO all sorts of personalities, direct
ing his mud batteries ut the editor
of this paper We said stopped,
but we are mistaken. He never
has to stoop, for he has long since
sunk to that low plane.
He will undoubtedly be up for
sale again next fall, and the high
est bidder will get him. Bu'
union labor is done with him
They have discovered his true
nature, OF course he has Cham
pion and Mcclure to fall bnck on,
but yesterdays results showed
them to be negative quantities in
the local democracy, so the little
editor has no where to look for
comfort in his hour of ignominious
defeat. Poor little Work. He
too, is dead

WHAT THE RESULT MEANS.

that this signal victory of the citizens Of Florence the radical
labor leaders who plunged into conflict will

The result of yesterday election shows that THE TEIBUSE
predicted the conservative element of labor favored
converting the organization into political party and
voted against leaders who promulgated the scheme Ia this

Yesterday by their ballots the people of Florence elected

The New Oil Company.

The statement that appeared In
yesterdays TRIBUNE regarding tie
formation of the Keystone Oil
company created considerable talk
on the streets last night and this
morning, and today the incorpor
ators were visited by numerous lu
cal people desirous of oblainin-
information about the locality and
the conformation of the ground,
aud with view of purchasing
stock. and the indications are now
that lot Of stock will be sold
to local people before the end OF
the week.
The item appeared in the state
papers this morning and Telegram
was received at an early hour from
an investor residing in Denver
asking what the price would be on
100000 shares of the stock.
The entire deal was promoted
by Reese Prosser, the vice presi-
dent.
With new oil companies; the
surrounding country's bright pros.
poets for big crops; the probabili-
ties that the mills which have been
closed for some time will soon re-
sumo work; with the smelter treat
ing a large tonnage of ore daily
with the other mills running al
their fullest capacity; and with
the election of the Citizens ticket
which means the election of the
most competent men to manage
the city's municipal affairs, we are
constrained to believe that the flu
ture of Florence Will be even
greater than the most sanguint
have dared to predict

A STiNGING REBUKE.

The rebuke administered yester
day to Meserve and Lewis by the
republicans of Florence must be at
gall and wormwood to these two
presrmptuous young men, who at.
tempted to dictate to older and
better and stronger republicans
than they. In the circular called
The Florence Republican Editor
Meserve heaped insult upon every
republican who was supporting
the Citizens ticket, claiming that
they were McCandless democrats
and traitors to the party, Now it
develops that, according to yester-
days returns, there are only TWEEN
ty-three voters in the city who
were led into following these two
dictators in their dark ways.
1t is bitter pill for these wise
little politicians to swallow, but
they must take their medicine.
They today see the handwriting
on the wall They see that they
are dead birds,' and that the mass
of the party in Florence is indie
penden, of their counsel. They
have dug their political graves.

Equal TO THE OCCASION.
Arizona Sheriff Proved Himself Quail
fed for His Office

From the Arizona Republlcan.
From the earliest times the Office of the
sheriff of Maricopa county has been the
ledge room of the Anal Samated Association
of Prevaricators until an honorary mem
Eership and an ability to shine in it came
to be regarded as necessary qualification
for sheriff only little less important than
the ability to get enough votes at the con-
vention and the polls. Sheriffs have usu-
ally been represented by proxy IN the
meeting of the association and the proxy
has always been some deputy, generally
Charlie Standard, who as prevaricator
has always successfully neiu MS own
against all cOmerS.
There was some apprehension that Sher-
iff Stout would not fill the bill. He was
supposed to be too matter of fact. Billy
Moeur and Billy Williams were not be-
lieved to be any more able liars than the
sheriff, and Captain Hi Mcdonald as an
outside deputy could not be expected to
attend meetings of the association. Still,
in a pinch there was the eNer-reliable
Standard to fall back upon. But Sheriff
Stout yesterday proved that he didn't need
any deputy prevaricatOr.
An old settler who ha6 lived in the val
ley longer than anybody was telling at
the Sherif'S Office yesterday of the driest
season the valley had ever experienced.
There had been nothing like il before and
nothing since. None o. his hearers had
ever seen anything so dry. He couldn't tell
them how dry it was so they would compre-
hend.
Sheriff Stout was reminded of one very
dry summer within his residence in the
valley. He had just embarked In the cat
tie business and had d herd of yearling
calves. There was a little water on his
ranch, but no food within ten miles. Every
morning he used to turn the calves out SO
they could go to the Eearest range where
there was some grass. but water He
accordingly hung a Canteen filled with
water around the neck of each calf. One
day he went out to the range to see the
| condition of the grass, which, he thought
must be getting short. When he got there
| the calves were feeding quietly on the bank
| of dry water course. All at once they
| were stampeded and wildly scattered In
| every direction, believing with fear. The
| sheriff went to what was the cause OF
| the commotion and found 1t to be a huge
| catfish which had climbed up the bank and
! got into fight with the calves over the
| water in the canteens.
