 Chas. NJ. Schwab, the steel mag
 nate has cabled denial of his re-
 ported sensational gambling at Monte
 Carlo. Many people will believe the
 report rather than his denial because
 they wish to.
 The Englishman who invented a
 system to break the gambling bank
 at Monte Carlo, after spending S25,-
 900 in an attempt to prove the cor
 rectness of his theory gave it up and
 went home broke.
 William T. Stead's book, "The
 Americanization of the World" has
 created something of panic in Lon
 don, the Daily News of that city con cediug that the United States has al-
 ready superseded Great Britain as
 ''the premier nation"
 The Bisbee Review says that two
 unwritten laws have been in force in Bisbee for several years. One is that no Chinamen are permitted in the camp, and the second, that the prac- tice of women frequenting saloons is not tolerated. Both laws have been
 strictly observed in the past"
 Commenting on the defeat of Perry Belmont the Tucson Star says: Perry Belmont, the demo- cratic candidate for congress in the Seventh district of New York, was defeated by majority of 344 votes by Montague Lesslier. That was pretty close contest, considering that about 15, 900 votes were polled." The Star evidently knows, but intentionally omitted mention of the fact that the district is usually overwhelmingly democratic, giving a democratic ma jority in 1900 of over 1000. Consid- ering all things a republican majority of 344 is pretty good sized one.
 The Solomonville Bulletin makes strong plea for the moral support of the rangers. It very truthfully re- marks that mot only the rangers but every public officer, whose duty it is to bring criminals to justice, should be supported by strong public sen timent, instead of being discouraged by criticisms not based on any failure to discharge official duty. Criticism of the rangers will be applauded by every cattle rustler and would-be train robber in Arizona, and for that reason such criticism should be con fined to facts worthy of adverse con- ment. The stronger the public senti ment in Arizona against crime, the less crime there will be committed, while on the other hand uncalled for sarcasm in speaking of the rangers and officers, whose duty it is to hunt criminals, will embolden crime"
 The Anglo-American of the City of Mexico says: "As tie American peo- pie look at their national balance sheet and see their liabilities being reduced at the rate of S46,000,000 a | year (nominaD and S73,000,000 (ac- tuaD and note that this has been ac- complished in the face of foreign | war, insurrection, and considerable extension of business and compare their condition with that of other they have every reason to be with the policies and the l that have produced | these results" And yet as a rule the democratic party does not participate in any national exultation over the fact, but takes a generally pessimistic view of it.
 4 woman furnishes an exchange with her ideas of a good New Years resolution for a woman. It is not out of date any time in the year. It is IS follows: 'If every woman when she rises in the morning would decide that she would speak no ill of any Dne and that if scandal were told her that she would refuse to believe it, then the ways of the world would be much smoother to travel in. We all lnow of one woman amongour neigh DOTS, whose delight is to say bitter, untrue things against every one; no ,ne is safe from her poisonous tongue. What mischief she does and what misery she causes! The only thing O do with her is to boycott her, until ,he learns to be wise an kind. How much happier this world would be if We attended to our own business. Some women have such sunny pres ,nce and such tender words for all hat we go to them when times of darkness and distress overtake us, ust 10 be cheered up and they never ail us.
