ARIZONA baa 70,000 people and wants to become a state. It baa al«o a Mormon population which controls all elections, and a nufflciont number of Greaaera to serve on juries when it is necessary to defeat the ends of justice. Arizona can wait a little longer for statehood.

Now that Hon. J. Lawrence Sullivan is on his native heath again he will doubtless occupy bis full share of public attention. Since his arrival a few days ago he has made arrangements for several lights, and cancelled them. John is even greater fighter with his mouth than he ever was with the bare knuckles, which is saying much.

TriK war in Ireland is assuming larger proportion severy day. On Tuesday last Timothy IJcaly, M. P., was publicly horsewhipped in Dublin by a nephew of the late Parrtell. An episode like this make* political life exciting, even in Ireland, but it fs not a very desirable kind of free advertising for the man on whose back the lush has been laid.

TIM: late trouble with Italy, and the present misunderstanding with Chili, demonstrates clearly the nood of a respectable navy for this country. The in»t named country would muster an army of probably 20,000 men, yet there seems to be doubt In the minds of our navul authorities us to the ability of the United States to cope with the little South American republic on the ocoan.

TitK secretary of the navy has expressed the opinion that the officers in his brunch of the service have been talking too much about the trouble with Chill and their ability to sweep that country from the bosom of the ocean. The secretary Is right, but it took him a long time to make the discovery. Here after his hired men will attend strictly to business by sawing wood and saying nothing.

I looks although Senator Quay retired.from the Republican national committee in order thnt he might give his undivided attention to the newspapers of IVnuiylvani'i which have been giving him so much gratuitous advertising. He has commenced piocoedings in a

large

number of libel suits, and if heobUiiow j'idgin!,tus for the sums claimed he will be a very rich man (in judgments) somo day.

victs free. The citizens seem to be demoralized, and the governor scarcely knows what to do about it. It is a very expensive lesson, and will leave a lasting impression on the minds of the present generation, at least.

ITALY ban a grievance against the United States. Its leading paper in Rome asserts that "all Yankees unscrupulously follow politics as a business," and than whines that the McKinley bill has virtually closed our markets to Italian wares and products It is also a great pity that there is not a law in force which would close our doors against the thousands of worthless vagabonds and cut throats who annual ly leave "sunny Italy" to find an asylum here.

THAT was a novel way in which Minister Phelps undertook to bring Ger many to an appreciation of American pork and corn. He gave a dinner the other day to a number of German nota bles and their wives, and among the dainties made a specialty of bacon and corn bread from America. Having the assistance of an accomplished cook our distinguished representative succeeded in convincing his guests of the tooth someness of the products named, and there is every reason to believe that the German duties on Indian corn will soon be removed, and that corn bread will soon supplant Russian rye bread as food for the German ariny.

SHARI'KIW have recently been working Minnesota farmers in a new way. They go into the country taking with them some cliizen who is posted as to the standing and responsibility of the farmers. After being introduced they offer to sell goods at wholesale prices, charging the farmer only $5, as the initiatory feo, which makes the farmer a member of said company, then proceed to show the farmer is cheated by the local dealer, and assure him ho can save 50 percent by sending orders to the 2)urchasing agency. They then send goods, which they represent to be worth §125 at retail, and close up with the farmer for $5 cash, his initiatory fee, and his note for $80. The goods are found to be worth only about $-10. They carry samples of pure granulated sugur, which they claim to supply at the rate of twenty-six pounds for $1, but receive no orders, letting the farmer order from hoadquarters. The game has been worked very successfully within the last two weeks In southwestern Minnesota. It is true that the farm ers are constantly warned against such fakes, but warnings soem to bo of no u-e. The next fellow who comes along wjjth some now scheme or shyster news paper venture is sure to find afresh crop of victims. It has always been thus, and will, presumably, remaiu so while time lasts.

THE ELECTIONS

Last Tuosday cloven states hold elections, but the Interest was contlned chiefly to Ohio, New York and Iowa In the lirst named the tight was made on purely national issues. It was the McKinley bill and honest money and nothing else The best talent in the country on both sides was thrown into the state and from every corner rang the noise of the conflict. Everything which could be done b^ either party was done, and dono well. Governor Campbell had the prostige of an election on the Democratic ticket two years ago by 10,000 plu rallty, and had the assistance this year of every Democrat opposed to the nomination of Cloveland in 181)2. There never has been a more hotly contested election in the country, and It was fought squarely on national Issues. The result has been an overwhelming Republican victory. McKlnley's plurality is over 10,000 and the legislature will be Republican by Its on joint ballot. The vote of the Peoples party was 11,500, just, half the number of votes cast at the last election.

In New York the tight was on local issues and for the state patronage. Tammany came forth with all its old time vigor and methods. The Democratic state ticket was elected by 40,000 plurality, but the Republicans carried the legislature, which was Democratic two years ago.

In Iowa it was a prohibition tight, which was one of the Repnblican measures in that state. With the rapidly increasing population in cities there has b»en a growing demand for the repeal of prohibitory legislation, and that has materially cut down the Republican vote. I Roles was elected governor by the Democrat* by about 6,500 plurality, and this year his plurality la nearly 0,000, with a Democratic legislature.

There was considerable interest manifested in the Kansas election, where judge* were elected in ten judical districts. The alliance people claimed increased strength and were confident that their vote would lie increased by at least "10,000. They counted on sweeping everything before them, and weneconfidentof saccesa. Instead they have met with a crushing defeat* Out of the ten district judges elected they secured one, and there success was only attained by a combination with the Union laborites in the stronghold of the latter. The result is cause for congratulation.

Massachusetts elected the democratic candidate for governor by about 5,500 plurality, hut both branches of the legislator* are repnblican. Pennsylvania was carried by over 50,COO by the repnbticans. In Colorado every county, except two, was carried by the repnbli-

AI», and they eiect^i the state UckH.

This attraction comes highly recommended as being one of the best of the kind now on the road. The company is a large one and numbers over twenty people. The music and specialties introduced are of a high order, in fact the entire performance Is first-class in every res poet, and the opera house should be crowded from top to bottom to-night.

Adams, Miss Louise Dempsy, Victoria Walters, Wm. Rege, W. H. Bartholomew, Eva Selbie and others. Since its last production here the spectacle has undergone many changes. The music is entirely new while the specialties the very best that money could procure, The wonderful Bosbobies, the marvelous Lorellas, the graceful Trepestic family, eight in number, the Transatlantique Ballet Troupe, led by M'lle Adias Camias Premier, are some of the European novelties presented.

The ballet is well trained, the premier assoluta, M'lle Adele Camias, is one of the most agile and graceful dancers ever seen on any stage. Beautiful in all its details and with a company embracing some of the best specialty artists of the day, the production is stronger and more attiactive this season than ever and cannot fail to prove a big drawing card at Naylor's on noxt Wednesday evening.

M'CAUTHY'S IS HATS.

This immensely popular play will be presented at Naylor's next Thursday evening by the Ferguson A Mack comedy company, and will no doubt succeed in attracting the usual crowded house that greets thfs attraction every season. No literary merit is claimed for the piece It was simply put together for the purpose of creating laughter and it is a big success. The company presenting the skit this season is a clever ono, and with the introduction of new music and specialties the performance is one calculated to please. The usual prices of admission will prevail. Sale of seats Tuesday morning at Button's.

THANKSGIVING ATTRACTION. The Thanksgiving Day attraction at Naylor's this season will be Steele Mack aye's successful play, "Money Mad." The company is one of the strongest on the road.
