BOYCOTT THE REICHSTAG.

The other day, in the course of de- bate in the ReichsUdg. occupants of the reporters gallery jeered a statement made on the floor to the effect that negroes have immortal souls. Herr Groeber, leader of the Center party, retorted by hurling the epithet swine at the reporters. Cable dispatches stated that the newspapers had decided to retailate for the insult by boycotting the Reichstag. refusing 10 print a word about the debates, until a retraction has been offered. The retraction is likely to be forthcoming in short order, for a more effective weapon than the boycott could not be desired. In one day. it is stated, twelve deputies refused to make speeches because their remarks would not be given publicity. Evidently German politicians are as fond of newspaper notoriety as those of our own dear land. The only thing the Reichstag can do. to set the wheels of legislation<in motion again. is to make the best terms it can with the om- nipotent fourth estate"

PUBLISHING THt BANNS
 OF LICENSE APPLICATION
A Suggestion to Those Who Have
 Objections to Their Granting.

As has been stated the board of su- pervisors on March 30. under the new law in relation to liquor license will meet to consider applications for li- cenSeS for the year beginning with April 1. Complaints have been made though not in a formal way against certain saloons for violating the new law for their regulation and 1t has been suggested that those who are in possession of information why licenses should not be renewed had better lay it before the supervisors previous to that meeting on the ground that it is much easier to withhold than it is to revoke one.
 It is probable that application will not be made for the renewal of all the present licenses. Some of the sa- lOonkeepers are said to be apprehen- sive of the result of the local option election if one should be held and are willing to make an investment of $500 on an uncertainty. Whether or not the election will be held will depend upon the supreme court decision to- morrow regarding the validity of the law. It is thought though that if there should be ap election and local option should carry a way could be found to refund to holders of licenses an amount equal to the unexpired term of the licenses
 Many of the saloonkeepers, though they do not believe that local option would carry if the question shouldsbe submitted are making no plans for the future. They are ordering no liquors or cigars for a time beyond which under the machinery of the law pro- hibition would be made effective.

PHOENIX, ARIZ.. MARCH 27. 1908.
THE TENNESSEE ENCOUNTER.

The Tennessee republicans have it would not appear that the prospect of party success in Tennessee would warrant such a sanguinary engage ment as that which occurred in the state convention on Wednesday. The hope of spells as the result of the elections, doubtless had little to do with the cumulative enthusiasm of the two republican factions. The bone of contention was the control Of the machinery and the right of distribu ton of federal patronage which falls in republican and hopelessly demo- cratic states alike.
 It was a battle between the ''ins" and "outs" and the "outs" won in the first bout. The BrownloW faction was opposed by the officeholders who per haps would have consented to a friend ly coalition. but the slogan of the 'outs" was down with the office holder!"
  are understood to be friendly to the national administration, and in at least one of the district conventions in structed for Taft, the delegates at large elected at Wednesdays conven- ton were not instructed. Thus. if that delegation should be seated at Chicago it will be in a better position to make terms than if it were bound by the action of the state convention. The other wing already in possession of the federal spells may be expected to in struct for the powers that be.
 The Brownlow republicans have talk en the course which those republicans of Arizona who are opposed to instruc- tions. advise. Our motive is worthier than that of the Tennessee faction which has only the purpose of dOm- mating the party in the state and of distributing federal patronage. Their aims are selfish but they have chosen the best means to attain them. The anti-instructionists of Arizona are moved by no selfish purpose but they believe that if the delegation from this territory is left free it will be able to make better terms, not for the control of federal patronage, but for Arizona. The best way to reach that end is to follow the cause of the Brownlow re- publicans.
