The political complexion of Arizona as a tervitory is democratic at present, but could be made republican if theve was any special prize austake.

After a season of about four weeks the join®, committee on printing of the two houses of congress, directed to inquire into the ex- penditures for public priuting in all branches of tho federal government and report way and means for decreasing the cost and in- creasing the usefulness of the printing serv- ice, has ad.ourned. Some more investigations are expected i the autumn, and it is antici- pated that considerable expert testimony will ho taken. ‘The expenditures for government printing through the goverument printing office alono aggregate annuall ctween £3,000,000 and $4,000,000. There is besides great deal of work done at the branch ofices fu tho various departments, accounts for which are kept separate. It is stated that a superintendent of public printing, who will act in conjunction with congress and the pub- lic printer, and will determire questions as to quality and quantity of printing, will be created, “and that an effort is to be made to save £00,000 or more annually in_ printing hereafter. One thing at leass has been learned by the investigation, and that is that the judgment of congress cannot be taken, and political knowledge is much necded in determining qualities and quantities. COLONEL POLK'S POLITICAL METHODS, A striking figure has been about Washing- tou for several days in_the person of ex- Mayor Davenport of Kansas City. Mr. Davenport is tall, brainy and fine "looking. He is one of the most romineut republicans in Missouri, and one of the few who have met President Polk of the farmers’ alliance on the stump 1 campaign debate, “Colonel Polk is just like the other politi- cians in the alliance,” smd Mr. Dayenport to vour correspondent. “He can not bear the light ~of truth, ~ With _ex-Congressman Warner of Kansas € I stood before Polk and his confrere, i.ivingston of Georgia, and we discussed the vonded warehouse and other questious in the pres- ence of a large furn nd townspeoplo audience. The trouble is’ that these politi- clans in the allisnce either wilfully misrep. resent the truth in their arguments to the membership of their order or they only tell half of the truth. “Whea I met Polk on the stump in Mis- souri he laid down the warehouse scheme in something like these words: “The republican party has built vonded warehouses for those giganutic monopolists, the distillers, and per- mit them to store away their produets, upon which they receive warehouse receipts, beal ing the certification of a federal ofticer, and upon these uny one can [0 to a bank and borrow woney. 1t is practically a zovernment obli- gation. Now why is it that these same publicans refuse you favmers a warehouse where you can store away vour corn, wheat, vye, potatoes and other products, upon the veceipt of which you can raise money to pay off your facm mortgages. Are not your crops as legitimate us the productions of the dis- tillor! Arc not you as much entitled to this help and_protection as the capitalists who make whisky! Where s the justico in making a warehiouse for one class and refus for another? This arcument,” said Mayor Davenport, his half truth, is very taking in the abse of anything more, But the farmers ave not ignoramuses, as the politicians in their ovder think. They ning their eyes. 1 said in reply to Colonel Polk that it was true the federal government had bonded warenouses for the distillers, They not only built the distillors’ warebouses, but they furnished them storekeepers—men who stood guard over the deposits of whisky to see that none was taken away. It furuished eaugers, who measured the liquors. The reason this was done was because it could not collect the taxes upon the liquor in any other way. Some place must be provided” where the whisky could be measured, and also stored, from whence it could not be taken till the tax wi paid. *Would you like to have your wheat or corn or rye pay a tax as heavy as whisky pays—more thun three times us much as it'1s worth of it selft said I *If you are willing to have your corn taxed at ffty cents a bushel or your wheat at a dollar I have no doubt the govern ment would give you a warchouse like the dis tiller gets. But would it be fair to issne a ware house receipt on corn uud wheat and not on coal, ice, clothing or wanufactured articles Aud would it be falrto charge toe disuller a tax of nearly four hundred per cont and giv you warchouse facilities free® This over turus the warchouse argument every time." Mayor Davenport says the political wing ¢ is run for pelf, and to destroy the republican party, but that the light which is being thrown apon it will dest the pohities of theorganization bofore the end of this year.

Goodwin lived in Syracuso a short time previous to his mar- viage, which, as a matter of fact, was not to Miss' Babeock, but to Miss Amy Gifford niece of Johd N. Babcock, an insuran agent. Miss Gifford was the daughter of Hurry Gifford. formerly of this city, but now of Chiicago, and nicce also of Miss Gifford, the American sculptress residing in Rome!
