as to the general result, there will be TO abandonment of the purpose of making a vigorous campaign to ac- complish its fulfillment.
 In addition to being born under an unlucky star for presidential sue cess the astroIoger recites the fact that Parker was nominated at an un- favorable moon period, also, the moon being in its last quarter. an indi- eaton that his political strength will wane as the campaign progresses.
 When Roosevelt was nominated the moon was just right and in harmony with his lucky star, hence the astrol- oger argues that Roosevelt's political strength will increase as election time approaches.
 It is not probable that the demo crats will abandon the campaign OF account of this prediction and par ticularly not as long as the Cheerful Champ Clark can grind out such favorable figures to induce them to spend their campaign fund.

PARKER AS A TRIMMER.

In recent interview Ex-Governor Hogg, of Texas, had the following to say of Parker's acceptance address
 In diction it IS elegant, in promise it is faint. In material discussion it is a trimmer Upon the whole it IS very good, for New York Democrat. He has carefully prepared and deliver ed this speech of acceptance, and l submit that he nowhere pledges him. self to favor the enforcement of the laws against trusts, or that he will encourage or support the completion of the great Panama Canal. He tells Us that the tariff laws cannot be modi- fled during the next four years be- cause the sentiment is and will con tinue to be republican. At the same time he informs us that the most eff ctive remedy by which to destroy the trusts is by changing these laws. As he nowhere promises to further enforce the United $ ates law under which the Northern Securities com pany and other trusts were dissolved, then logically we could have but little hope of the trusts being disturbed under his administration.

A WAVE OF REFORM.

Fl Paso is discarding the robes of a frontier town and great reform wave is sweeping over the town. The city council has recently taken steps towards prohibiting gambling on the ground floors of buildings of the town, which the papers claim would be practically equivalent 70 prohibit ing it entirely. Now the DewsDapers are making war on the travelling, so called street carnivals. In recent issue of the Times of that city, it says:
 "It is time for the city council to see through these schemes of local carnivals under the auspices of local orders or lodges. The show people are simply grafters who want to avoid paying license under the protection of the name of some local organiza- tion. If they want Fl Paso money, let them pay license and show on their own merits. ''
 The Fl Paso Herald falls in with the suggestion of the Times but'takes an advance step in the matter in the following very sensible remarks:
 "The Times is right in this, but it should go further and add that the license should be made prohibitive at the time of the meeting of the Ma tional Irrigation congress here this fall, when it is expected that an at tempt will be made to pull off one of these shows. The city cannot afford to be operating lot of cheap shows when such a gathering of people are in the city. Such shows add nothing to the entertainment, for everybody who will he here has seen carnival attractions before and better than any snide attractions that will float in here then, and such shows will bring nc additional people to the city. Or the contrary, they will take money ont of town. The business men feel that they will be taxed sufficiently in entertaining the congress and they want all the money that is spent dur ing that time to go into the legitimate channels of trade.

ASTROLOGICAL PREDICTION.

There are a great many people, no doubt, who do not believe in astroI- ogy, hence will place little confidence in the prediction made by a profes- sional astrologer, Jhaua Hazbek, in reference to the outcome of the presi- dential election. While the editor of the Journal-Miner is not an ardent believer in this method of prognosti- cation, yet as between a man who has made a study cf this subject, and a professional and political horoscope caster like Champ Clark, he would pin his faith to the former.
 Professor Hazbek hls made astro- logical calculations on the result of the presidential election and says it is not in the stars for Parker to win. This astrological horoscope only con- firms other signs of the times, which all may and do understand
 This horoscope was shown to Presi- dent Roosevelt and it is said that while he was inclined to agree with it

ATTENTION, REPUBLICANS.

The call for the county republican convention and for the holding of primaries is being published in this paper. Its first appearance was in the issue of last week, but it was received so late that it was not found practical to call attention to it. Republicans all over the county should take an active interest in their primaries and see that good, representative men are selected as delegates to the conven- tion as much depends upon the action of that body.
 Many of the rank and file of de- mocracy are dissatisfied with the pTofii- gate administration of county affairs, as the bushes of the county has been transacted with an apparently utter disregard to the interests of tax payers.
 Expenditures have been extravagant and in many instances wasteful and useless and this in spite of the out rageously high rate of taxation. An increase in the tax roll of the county has had no effect upon the rate of taxation, so far as producing any re- duction in it has been concerned.
 On the contrary the rate of taxation has increased and kept apace with the growth of taxable property, instead of having been reduced, which would have been a natural consequence.
 While it is important that good. substantial, honest and conservative business men should be elected to conduct the affairs of the county, it is none the less important that repre- sentative men-men of standing and integrity should be elected to repre- sent the county in the legislature. It is common saying that Arizona legislatures have been going from bad to worse" for a number of years. While there has been a sprinklIng of a few conscientious members in each body there have been others whose OA1y OOJOOb III OCSOAAhk NdhOlhdlCo for the position was for the purpose of promoting some scheme or other in which the public gets the worst of it, and these aided by a few blatant blatherskites who talk one way and vote whichever way is the most profit able, have been controlling legisla- tion. As a consequence the interests of the territory receive very little at tention as there is no time for this after all the ''personal schemes" are looked after.
 The inception of good government is at the primaries, hence every citi- zen who has an interest in good gov ernment should attend the primaries and do all in his power to secure good representatives to the convention. Of all the election years for the past decade, this is the one in which re- publjcans should take special in terest.
