Smoke NuiSanCes.

There are more Smoke-nuisances
than those to which the laws apply.
Perhaps the greatest nuisance of all
is the loquacious female who never
fails to occupy seat in the rear sec
ton of the street-car, supposed to be
reserved for smokers and those who
enjoy the fragrant weed, and inces-
sanity talks at the men who are so
Ill bred as to persist in the vile hab-
1t notwithstanding, and ii scornful
oblivion of, her purifying presence
There is no hope of reform in her
manners, for she has a mission, bless
her well-polished and double-edged
tongue; but the street-smohers and
car-smokers may be glad of gentle
hint as to their own manners.
The reservation of two or three
seats in car for the comfort of To-
bacco users applies almost exclusive
ly to smokers, there is no tank at
tached to any of our cars for the ac-
commodation of chewers of the weed.
II tobacco-chewers VIII ride in the
cars they will do more effective ex-
ecution by sitting well to the front
Of the car and on the windward side:
they should always spray the air at
an angle between the horizon and the
zenith; by preference they should sit
just before the ladies in light dresses.
But to return to the smokers
Within well-defned limits no one
cares puff whether you smoke a
pipe. cigar. or cigarette OF course,
narghiles. churchwardens, or yard
long porcelain pipes are barred; but
the nose-warmer, the dudeen, and the
bulldog are welcomed with avidity.
But, please! please, my masters, do
not fancy that the aroma of the most
expensive cigar, the most luxurious
meerschaum, or the more seductive
cigarette is yearned for in great vol
ume even by the hardened smoker be-
hind you. Smoke and be happy, but
don't bestow the clouds Of your Joy
too literally upon the other fellow.

the Lower Valley to begin evangelis-

OH, WHAT A DIFFERENCE.

Arizona Journal-Miner.
An attempt was made to burglarize
a bank in Indiana the other day. This
is nothing unusual in the effete east,
where such happenings are recorded
daily in the press. But If anyone broke
into a bank in Arizona, what a howl
there would be raised In the newspa-
pers of the eastern states as to the
lawlessness and crime in this Terri
tory. AS a matter Of fact, a bank rob-
berry has not been known in Arizona
for a quarter of a century. In the
east the banks are robbed not only
by the outsiders, but even more fire.
~quently by the insiders. What a con-
trast, and yet they say Arizona is not
fit for statehood.

HARPER's ON STATEHOOD.

The last Issue of Harper's Weekly
comes out with a strong leader urs-
ing joint statehood for Arizona and
advances unanswerable reasons why
this should be. 1t declares that the
triple combination opposing joint
statehood is the railroad interests,
the mining corporations and the pro-
fessional politicians, and all for sell
fish interests only. The railroads
want four senatorial agents in Wash
ington which they can elect in Ari-
IONA and New Mexico s separate
states, but as a joint state they can
not control.
The mining interests or corpora
lions which have SO long escaped
just taxation, know that the joint
state will be more than they can han
die. 1t will be too big for them. The
agricultural and stock interests will
compel them to contribute their just
share Of the taxes.
The politicians realize there will be
but half the number of Offices to give
out under a joint state than IL two;
states are created. Harper's Weekly
seems to be very close to the real is
sues in this statehood fight. Hence
it makes strong and urgent demand
for an early settlement Of this state
hoOd business, which will no doubt
be among the first acts of congress,
as it should be.-Arizona Star.

The Record believes that all its
local advertisers will do all they pro
mise and more. Men do not spend
good money for advertising and then
print things calculated to injure in
stead Of benefit their business. The
very best reputation any merchant
can have is that he lives up to his
advertisements.
