A dispatch from Cleveland. Ohio, says that the recent reelection of Tom L. Johnson as mayor of that city places in his hands the absolute control of the democratic machinery of that state which will enable him to control the uouainat1on for gov ernor either for himself or for a man of his .choo4ng. The election of Johnson as mayor of Cleveland was a sad blow to Mark Hanna and may endanger his reelection to the United States senate Should Johnson TUT again for governor of Ohio. and should he be victorious. he would he right in line for the democrauc nom inat;on for president. but thea the election of a democratic governor oi Ohio is hardly to be expected.

We note with pleasure that Hin son Thomas has become ed itor and manager of the Globe Times, whih under his direc- tion will doubtless become the splendid weekly it once was before. Mir Thomas is a scholar, a student oi political economy and everything that qualities one for the position tc which he has succeeded. It has been noticed for some time that the Times had undergone remarkable i'm provement, which was doubtless due to the fact that he has been in charge of the paper for a few weeks past He has also brought the Times into the galaxy of sound democratic jour nals in Arizona We wish him all possible success and congratulate the people of Globe on the happy change. There is TO doubt of the success of the Times under the new infringement.

A WOULD BE DICTATOR.


 Mir. l.. F. Hammer. a member of the board of school trustees, does not like the manner in which the Review published the news regarding the arrest of Superintendent SmAllwood and his trial before 8 jury on a charge of simple assault, brought by the parents of one of the pupils who was fogged at the central school building last week
 Without entering into the merits by a jury and, we believe justly so. we desire to call attention to would be dictator. who in his wisdom, pre- tends to be tie sole director, not only of the board of trustees and the schools of this district, but has at tempted to extend his authority to the press.
 On the sth instant this arrogant upstart called at the Review office and discontinued his subscription. which he had 2 perfect right to do. But the reason he assigned for his dis continuance has shown the true cal. ibre of the man who aspires to run the schools of this city. It was that the Review had printed in it's col umns a news account of the Small wood affair, which we judge from re suits. the would-be dictator and press censor thought for a silly moment that he could suppress. Because tfis paper dared print the news. there is crepe on the door over the loss of one subscriber, at seveaty-ave cents per.
 But to show still further his tenn porary supposed authority, this late importation, with very fine east ern ideas of tile duties of public official. orders a bill this once has against the school district of this city, itemized and mailed to him at once, implying that all source of revenue lthe bin against the school district at this time was s3 5el derived by this paper. would be cut of in the future. In this the gentleman and the scholar went little too far Mir. Hammer does not have the control of the school funds of this dis trict, as much as he would like to have. He assumes to usG his posi- tion as a public official to dictate to the Review. and to the extent of with holding patronage to this paper over which he absolutely has no control
 IL is well for the people to know the calibre of the man who asumes to be the head of the schools of this city. He is so small that he could ride upon the back of an ant and be liable to a severe fall before be reached the lower end of Main street.
 Other officials in Bisbee. some high CT in authority than the above named geutlemant and scholar. have at tempted to suppress the news in this paper, and failed, but the recent at tempt to which we refer, was de cided slump. The gentleman would do well to attend strictly to his own duties. and if properly attended to- he will be a mighty busy man.
 The Review has no defense 10 make regarding the arrogant and die tatoriaI position assumed by one whose head has been turned by briei Authority. The Review publishes the news in fair and impartial man ner. which it did in the Smaliwood affair. anc it will take heavier weight than the aboNh named gentle man and scholar to suppress IL
