Phoenix is to have quite lively and picturesque municipal campaign, iudg- ing from the reports coming from the capital city. A citizens organization has been formed which has placed a ticket in the field and an aggressive fight is to be made. A campaign paper has been started, with the catching name "The Anti-Tin Horn" The paper attacks the gamblers and roasts the Twenty-third legislature for it's failure to act in the matter of regulat- ing gambling throughout the territory. Of the legislature it says; ''It has come, it has gone, and if there is n patriotic citizen of Arizona who has not thanked God that it is all over, We have not heard of him. The council wore corporation and railroad collar, and the lower house was SO low that it needed only twine string to lead it to do the bidding of the gamblers"

Iu the munic ipal elections held on Tuesday last in many cities in the central west, the democrats won not able victories. In Chicago, where the contest was over the municipal owner- ship of the street car lines, Judge Ed ward r. Dunne, the democratic candi- date for mayor, who advocated the earliest possible acquisition of the street railroads by the city, was elected by majority estimated at between 22,000 and 25,OO0. It Is the worst defeat suffered by the republicans of Chicago for many years. In St. Louis also, Rolla Wells, the democr atic eau didate for reelection has won. In the Kansas towns of Kansas City, Leavenworth and Topeka, there was A political upheayal, the democrats win ming. Greatest satisfaction. however. Is felt over the revolution at the ballot box in. Colorado, where a severe rebuke was administered to the republicans for the high handed action in unseat- ing Governor Adams. Pueblo, Colo rado Springs and even Leadville, as we'll as many of the smaller towns normally republican, gave majoriti,s for the democratic candidates. The result being the same in SO many cities aud states would seem to be significant.

Nd FEAR OF YELLOW FEVER.

If there are any citizens in this city

they should read the following edito-
rial from The Norfolk Landmark and
take courage. They must remen Ger
that our city authorities are doing the
very thing that paper recommends,
which says:
While every reasonable prccaution
known to s9nitary science ought to be
taken to prevent the Introduction of

It is 4 good thing to clean the city
and kcep it clean and the outbreak OF

be without ITS valuable results If it

which have prevailed in the gulf states
during the past decade have been in

Jared With the epidenoics which We're

FRICTION BETWEEN THE CZAR
AND WITTE.

Report comes from st. Petersburg
that on the eve of the meeting of the
peace conference numerous dispatches
we're exchanged between the czar and
MWitte, passing direct to and from the
car, without the intermediatiOn of the
ministry of foreign affairs. While no
one knows the contents of these dis
patches, it is the general opinion in
that city that there is lack of harmony
between the car and his chief peace
commissioner There is such OppOsi-
ton to peace in court circles that the
hope is entertained there that Japan's
demands will be such that Russia cam
not accept them. The opponents Of
peace declare that Russia should not
abandon the contest after only eight
cen months, no matter what terms
Japan might offer; that she must not in
this manner give up her prestige Of a
great empire. These anti-peace advo-
Gates say the war must 60 on, even if
Russia cannot win a glorious victory
in the end.
This disagreement between the czar
and NJ. Witte is only rumOr, but past
events and conditions at the Russian
court have been such as to lay very
good foundation and to make it prob
able that it is true. It is well known
that NJ. Witte has all along belonged
to the peace party; that is, was one of
those who favored peace if it could be
secured in honorable terms, as opposed
to the court circle which called for con-
tinuance of the war until the enemy
was crushed" At one time there was
great cOolness between the car and
his great councillor and the latter lost
prestige at court because of his views
on the war.
So, it may well be supposed that
sufficient pressure has been brought to
bear on the car since the departure
of NJ. Wftte to induce him to modify
his instructions first given to the lat
ter as regards how far he may go in
making concessions to the Japanese,
and that the commissioner who accept
ed the trust coupled with great latitude
of action is restive under restriction at
this late day of the powers of discre-
tonary action conferred on him at the
time of his acceptance of the mission.

ed on him by The News and Observer?
We suppose not, as he did not report
at that Office. He must have stolen a
march on the editor of that paper. Else
he would have been slapped in the
penitentiary for the thousand year
term, awaiting It's termination to be.
gin the one in hell of a million years,
before he had opportunity to give the
appearance bond allowed him by the
state court. We do not understand how
it was that in Wake county the state
was allowed to interfere in this way.

THE INTERNAL REVENUE
FRAUDS

1t looks Ike Attorney General
Moody intends TO make the fur fly
among the internal revenue officials of
the western district of this state. The
fact that the secret investigation which
has been going on for some time was
placed in the hands of agents of the
department of justice instead OF being
left with those of the treasury depart
ment, under which is the internal rev
enue service, shows that the admins
tration means business.
The statement has been made that
the president has given this matter
personal attention, is very much in
terested i'm the investigation which has
been going on and is determined that
the frauds shall be exposed. If Mr.
Roosevelt says the rottenness must be
probed to the bottom and the guilty
ones brought to punishment you may
be sure it will be done.
The fact that Attorney General
Moody called Senator Simmons into
consultation over the matter and took
suggestions from him is another indi-
cation of the determination of the de-
partment to be thorough in its investi-
CATION. Of this interview with Sen
ator Simmons the Washington CORE
spondent of the Raleigh Post has this
to say in yesterdays issue:

COMMISSIONERS.

ceeding most admirably in preventing
the representatives of either power to
the peace conference being given pre-
eedence over the others. President
Roosevelt suddenly announces that the
Russians are to have precedence over
the Japanese in the reception and all
other proceedings in Portsmouth. The
reason assigned for this is that Rus
sia is represented at Washington by
an ambassador and Japan by a minis
ter only.
Before the conferees came together
for official business it was well enough
to avoid all distinction, but after that
time one side or the other necessarily
would have to take the lead or initia-
tive, and Mr.. Roosevelt has stated
reason for his decision which cannot
give offense to the Japanese, while he
could hardly have given precedence to
them on any ground without offending
the Russians. The ambassador and
minister idea was happy one and no
doubt relieved the president of much
anxiety. From the time the peace
commissioners landed in this country
until the close of his reception on the
Mayf1ower last Saturday his position
has been very delicate one. Any mis-
step or blunder on his part might have
1no Of
peace negotiations.
We can understand how the presi-
dent had control of this matter SO far
as the reception at Portsmouth was
concerned, but we do not see what he
has to do with the affairs Of the con-
ference in this respect, unless the set
tlement of this matter was left to him
by consent Of both sides. However
this may be, there is no denying the
fact that the president has handled the
whole affair with consummate tact and
skill
We do not believe Mr.. Roosevelt
will try to use his influence for one

of peace; but should there be indica-
tions of inability of the eonferees COM
ing to terms he will most probably do
all he can to induce them to do so, not
by urging one side Or the other to ac-
cept terms considered Objectionable by
the opposite party, but by showing his
desire that mutual concessions be made
ir the cause of peace so conclusive to
the welfare of all the nations interest
