We reproduce on the fourth page of this issue an article from the Washing ton Star, on the success of the recent Minnesota primary election, which that paper say ''is regarded by many as forecasting the destruction of every political machine in the country" The provisions of the Minnesota law are such as to secure the casting of the strict party vote and to eliminate the political boss as we'll as those perni- cious influences which have contributed in making the primary election, as or dinarily conducted, an irritating farce.
 Arizona has need of such a law, and as political conventions in several coun- ties of the territory have declared for a reform in thls direction, there is a prospect that the next legislature will enact such a law as will correct the

A report from Globe, Arizona, states that a boycott has been declared by the Labor Union in that city against the Globe SILVER BELT newspaper. That may be so, but we have, never theless, very cranky notion that the SILVER BELT will not only survive the boycott, but yearn for more.

The Star has been advised that a union depot to accommodate four to-wit: The Southern Pacific, El Paso & Southwestern, the International, and the Phoenix X Eastern, is one of the early possibilities at Benson, and that the Reform school is to be the nu- cleus of tbe Territorial peuitentiary of the future. In itself iJis inadequate to the needs of d territorial prison, but there is room adjacent whereon the necessary wings can be annexed, mak- ing it ample for the purpose named. The two possibilities are on the slate and you can wager on their becoming fact before the eud of many months, not that the buildings will be in evil dence as mapped out, but that the official announcement will be heraided loug before six months shall have been crossed off the calendar.

Mckinley on Trusts.

Lest we forget, it may be as well to recall once in while that in his letter accepting the renOminatlon of the republican party, President Mckinley said Combinations of capital which control the market in commodities necessary to the general use of the people, by suppressing natural and ordinary competition, thus enhancing prices to the general consumer, are obnoxious to the common law and the public welfare. They are dangerous conspiracies against the public good and should be made the subject of prohibitory or penal legislation. "- New Ytrk Telegram.

Worlds Work, under the heading of Special Training for Journalism, says "One of tue most persistent aD. surdities in educated life iS the notion that any educated mau can write. Nobody would maintain that any edu- cated man eau paint or play the violin or do an architects work or a sculp- tors we all grant that these arts re- quire training. But we go on with the lazy assumption that no such training is necessary for writer. It is this loss of proportion, this way of regard ing the literary art by practically the whole educated class in the United States that is responsible for the loose writing in our magazines and newSpa- perS. We have somewhat the same feeling about writing that we once had about public office or about teaching that anybody is fit for it.

DEATH OF GEN. WADE HAMPTON

Gen. Wade Hampton died Friday at
Columbia, S. c., aged "a years. As a
soldier he was successful and gained dis
tinction. Entering the army as private,
he participated in the capture of Fort
Sumpter; az a Colonel he was at the
turning point of the victory of Bull Run;
was promoted to Brigadier- General at
Seven Pines; became Major General on
account of his services at Gettysburg,
and, at the death of Gen. j. E. B. Stuart,
in May, 1864, was made Lieutenant
General and placed in command of all
the cavalry of Lees army. The cavalry
actions in which he defeated Sheridan
and Wilson added greatly to his reputa-
ton, and it is said that as soldier he
enjoyed General Lees confidence to an
exceptional degree.
His career after the war was hardly
less distinguished. He was born leader
of men, and his people looked up to,
admired, and trusted him. He stood on
the rock of Democratic principles, and
neither storm nor passion could move
him from his lofty pedestal. He was in
warp and wool the truest of Southemers.
This great mans last words were:
"God bless all my people, black and
white.''
