Mohave County Election.

Mohave County Election.
 Nowhere in the whole United States was an election conducted in such a quiet and orderly manner as in Mo- have county last Tuesday. Reports from all parts of the county state that there was not one man at the polls un- der the influence of liquor and among the candidates the best of feeling ex- isted. The vote was light, on account of there being no incentive to draw out the voters. The people knew that the issue of joint statehood was de- feated and took little or no interest in the matter, allowing it to take it's course in the voting.
 Owing to the defection caused by the statehood fight the vote for Coop CT was light, being far below that of Fowler two years ago. On the otLer hand Smith, democrat, gained in every precinct, his majority being increased from 131 to about 260.
 The democratic legislative candi- dates were elected by majorities ex- ceeding 100 over their republican op- ponents.
 Foster s. Dennis, democrat, was elected delegate to the constitutional convention.
 Walter Brown for sheriff, had prac- tically no opposition, the republican and socialistic candidates making no fight for the places. y
 R. A. Robertson, democrat, was elected Probate Judge by large ma- jority.
 F. w. Morrison, democrat, and w. G. Blakely, republican, had nip-and- tuck race of it for District Attorney. With but four prec nets to hear from Morrison has IS n aJority, which it is thought will not be overcome by the unreported precincts.
 The most remarkable race was that of George A. Bonelli, republican, who is running neck and neck with J. s. Kolar, democrat, for high place. Ko- lar is now in the lead by four and it. is quite probable that he will be the man. Hoffman, democrat, was badly scratched by the democrats in Gold road and Kingman.
 At Goldroad w. H. Welsh was elect ed Justice of the Peace and George B. Ayers constable, these two getting al- most the entire vote of the camp.
 At Chloride Alfred Conkey was elected Justice of the Peace and Will jam Brakeman, Constable.
 At Kingman Anson H. Smith was elected Justice of the Peace by a vote of 122 to 32 for the c. R. Van Marter. R. w. Hunt was elected Constable by a vote of 60 to 17 for Greedy Clack.

1t is commonly reported that Hon.
Stuart w. Walker, Of this city, is an
avowed candid ate for State Senator.
This district seems hopelessly demo
cratic on account of Jefferson County
being so far South, Tin principles
But it would be well for the leaders
OF the democratic party to remember
that Colonel Walker is the attorney
for the Baltimore 81 Ohio Railroad
Company, and while serving in this
capacity 1t would hardly be expected
that he would be strong advocate
for two-eent railroad fare As is
well known there is sentiment
spreading all over this country in
favor OF reduction Of railroad rates,
and men who favor this reduction
are the ones who should be elected as
Legislators, regardless of party aft la
tions However, we are forced to adj
init that the genial Colonel. If elected +,
would be a credit to this Senatorial
District as its representative. We
wish him success in his political adj
sventure-this time.

year before? 1t Is impossible to say
from looking at it, Some of the trees
in the streets look at least ten years
old, but they must have been plant

day he may have been grazing in
an open field-and when he passed

blocks of fats, all sprung up like

Berlin, then, is great deal too

Big Power Scheme

The proposal to send electricity 700
miles from the River Zambesi to Jo-
hannesburg is criticised by many ex-
perts, who declare the feat practically
impossible in the present state of the
electric art, because of the great cost
involved. other experts affirm that the
scheme is commercially feasible. The
capitalists have not yet. it seems, in

Grocer A. S. Watson, who made

the benefit of his creditors, has re-
opened his store on West King street
and will continue his business. AS
stated at the time, Mr.. Watson S

all creditors had been satisfied he
still had enough cash ON hand to
start up again. Justice S. s. Eel

that Mr.. Watson's difficulty was

fear that one creditor would close
him up, and he therefore took means

Easily Answered.

Wren farmer comes to this city
enc of the first things he is struck
with is noticing so many foreigners
going 60 and coming from their work.
This is something new to him, and
ne cannot fully understand it. In
fact there is only one answer to it,,
namely, work is now seeking the
man. Never before was this county so
prosperous never before was it neces-
sary TO impo't labor here save in con-
structing railroads. Ask the farmer
how hard it is to get competent labor,
ard he will at once tell You that it is
almost impossible. Ask him if such
were thu case under Cleveland's nd
ministration, and if he is a republi-
can he will emphatieally answer
Mo-; if he is a Democrat he don
know what Co say Farmers, when
you want to raise a good crop you
study the condition of your soil. Now
when you want prosperous times why
don't you study the conditions of the
country and see wherein the secret
dies? If you do this you will sow good
seed, and retain the republican party
the hope of the farmer in power.
The first is absolutely necessary in
order to reap a good crop the latter
is necessary in order to enjoy gooo
times. You cannot dispute this rule i;
is of too long standing and has
lever been reversed.

FREE FARES.

Several merchants have criticized us
for taking the stand wo do in regard
to free fares Tor out of town custo-
mers within a radius of forty miles
stating that they do not believe slch
q method to be a legitimate business
proposition, and even going so far as
to say they do not believe there would
be any money in 1t. The merchants
of Indianapolis have been giving free
fares for about three years now, and
as they are not running charity insti-
tutions, 1T is safe to say they are max
ing money by the proposition. And
for further proof of the usefulness of
the system one has only to take the
Muncie merchants who have adopted
the idea in the last two years, and
are using it again this year. 1t isn't
necessary for all the merchants in
Richmond to be interested in the
scheme to make 1t successful. All
that is needed is a representative num-
Der of firms doing a mercantile bust
ness, such as one or two dry goods
stores, drug store, hardware store,
shoe store, stationary store furniture
store, etc. With a good clearing
house" system for handling the free
fares, there is no reason why COM
bination of such firms should not go
ahead and get great deal of the
trade which is now being attracted to
Indianapolis and Muncie. This Ger
tainly opens very practical way in
which to make business more brisk
during the so-called dull months.
In fact If the scheme were carried out
by the Richmond merchants we feel
sure they will find out eventually that
the dull" months of which they have
complained in the past, have been due
to their failing to provide attractive
enough inducements to get the out of
town people to come to Richmond.
