Councilman Third Ward. CLINTON LAUVER. ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN. The campaign will come to an end tonight, and tomorrow night we efliall know the names of (the men who are to administer the affaire of this city for the next two years. The "Republican liopes that all the republican candidates except James D.

Monihon will be elected. The eUction of Monihon would mean a return to cross roads methods in the conduct of "the affairs of the city. It -would mean the shelving of plans for municipal improvements which, have rr.c;ived a decided impetus in the last months. It would mean the re-establislimerJt. of the rule or ruin policy which marked JVIonihon's term as mayor and "which broaght nothing advantageous to the city.

Fhoenix as a municipality Would begin to retrograde with the induction of Mr. Morri-ion into office. The effect would be equal to the substitution of mule' power for steam on the north and south road. We have given many excellent reasons why Mr. Monih'on's overweening ambition to be m'ayor shoulu not be gratified.

No republican who Is acquainted with Mr. Monihon and his methods can deny that The Republican's criticisms are just. The most that those 'who intend 'to vote for him can say in his favor is that he i3 th nominee of the party and therefore must be supported. They do not at-tampt to reply to the charga made against him of general incompetency so far as the duties cf mayor are concerned. They recognize his unfitness, but trust to the normal strength t'he republicans in Phccnix to pull him through.

Mr. Monihon must be defeated if this town Is to continue on the up grade. His promises, made so eagerly now when ijis- fortunes are in the talance, deserve no recognition whatever. He has been all things to all men in connection with public questions now attracting attention. A few months ago be made an active canvass in opposition to municipal ownership of the water work3 and sewerage systems.

The bitterness of the campaign was intensified by the attacks he made upon the characters of the men opposed to him. He indulged ia savage personalities. He- championed the cause of the water and sewerage' companies from ahe drop cf the hat. Later he was found working in the interest of the anti-annexationists. He took part in a meeting at the Five Points called in opposition to annexation.

His bitter tongue was employed in this contest, as in the other, against the, city council that began the annexation movement. And this despite, the well known fact that Fhoenix will mak; but a sorry showing in the next census unless the nearby additions, that are separated from the city proper only by an imaginary line, and whose inhabitants gain their living in the- city, are brought within the city limits. In the face of this open record of antagonism to projects that make for the betterment cf the city we now find Mr. Monihon promising to dp the thing3 he recently cUc'-aredi ought not to be done. He say3 if elected he wiK-favor municipal ownership of public utilities, and the annexation cf the ai ditlons.

In the last forly-eisht hour? he has groveled in the dust before men in the republican party whom hs feared, and made promises galore. What self respecting man can believe him? Who is there so dull as not to sse that his present attitude is adopted for campaign purposes only? Once elected Mr. Monihon would 4'3 as be pleased, just as he did in his previous term. Mr. Monihon'3 record is enough to condemn hiia in the minds of all fair minded people.

We have confidence that the votersyof Phoenix will not make the terrible mistake of placing him in 'the mayor's chair, again. BEHIND THE TIMES. Rev. Dr. Hillis.

the new pastor of Brooklyn's! famous Plymouth church has been sharply rebuked "by the ven erable Dr. Cuyler cf that city for using popular novels as texts for his Sunday sermons. Dr. Curler 3ays "the Bible has not been preached out, and it never will be. The greatest min isters in the world today are finding delights in the Bible from iweek tc week, and it is what the great tired and thirsty -world wants, a draught from the everlasting spring." The aged' divine who thus calls a young brother to account simply hasn't kepO up with the time3 in the city where he has spent his life.

Churches used to be places 'where men expected to hear the gospel expounded and the spirit ually hungry could feed on the bread of life. But sin-ca his active days these old notions have been improved upon A new and more enlightened school has put away the old fogy notions and its preache-rs have taken to lecturing on politics, etbics, sociology, economics and literature- or enlightening a world that haj been wiappe-d in darkness on the discoveries and theories of the new theology. The old fashioned churcb. to which Dr. Cuy-ler's memory wanders was a very monotonous affair.

It contented itself with regarding the salvaitlon of souls as the all important wcrk and confined itself to that task. The new and improved church with which the venerable pastor has not been able to keep pace is busy planning for model saloons, -educating the heels of parishioners- in re.iigious dancing classes and establishing bargain stores for the poor. Dr. 'Cuyler must get out of the way of progress or get hurt. T'he New York city church must be enterprising in order to "pay." The moat interesting speech at the dinner of workingmen in New York a few days ago was not William J.

Bryan's, but Mayor Jrnes' of Toledo, who was recently elected to his office' on the platform cf municipal ownership of -public works. Jones is a powerful orator, with a message to deliver in which he evidently earnestly believes. In spite of same extravagances, and possibly impracticable ideas in details, Mayor Jones presents his -theory of municipal ownershi; with a force that demands attentior He certainly delivered the truth when he said that: "Every city that has adopted public ownership of public utilities has. shortened the! hours of labor, increased the pay of the men and improved the quality of service." A few days ago the name of S. M.

Jones of Toledo was practically unknown. Now he is a national figure with jssibly a greai. future. It will be well for William J. Bryan, whose threadbare the dinner were entirely outclassed by Mr.

Jones' trenchant speech, to keep his eye on the latter. Thomas J. Prescott is an ideal candidate for the position cf city tax collector and assessor. He has filled that position for the last few months with ability. He has lived in the city fol six years, coming here when he was only 20 years of age, a stranger and without money.

By his push and energy he has become one of the most successful young 'business men of the city, lit- owns a half interest in the Arizona bakery and his firm gives employment to eleven persons. 'He en joys the confidence and- respect of all people who know him and if elected ha will fill the position of assessor and tax collector with honor to himself and to the entire satisfaction of the citizens of Phoenix. Tom Fresqott i one cf the young men whom Phoenix may be justly proud cf. There will be no danger cf -the unds of the cit being. appropriated by the tax collector as they have been in the past.

Phoenix needs an honest, capable an-; intelligent tax and Thoma J. Prescctt is the man. Not one of the opponents of the administration Who are trying to make political capital cut of 'the anti-imperialistic cry, from Bryan down to the barber, shop and street cornet" statesmen, has yet so- far as we have seen offered a single feasible plan for the withdrawal of our troops from the Philippines without 'dishonor. Our soldiers are there to maintain orde over a country which fell into our through the fortunes of war. They have been attacked by savages.

Would Bryan and those who take their cue from him counsel that the troops lay their arms, surrender all to Agu.inE.ldo and leave (the country? If so, why do they not declare so openly? It appears from the records that Mr. James D. Monihon, candidate for mayor, held up the city in connection with th? new Dutch -ditch, exacting $250 in cash and conditions more cr less burdensome. One who listen tr Mr. 'Monibcn's promises in connection with the propositions to advance the interests of Phoenix, and contrasts them with his actions in relation t-J the Dutch ditch, i3 entitled to mental reservation or Iwo not exactly complimentary to the candidate.

It would be a political blunder tr elect Monihon mayor. He would make the republican party a laughing stock, and two years hence -the rcpublicanj would find it difficult to elect a g-coa man. It would be infinitely better to beat him new than to permit him tr beat the party in 1901, when victory might amount to something. A basket of snakes was left open by some naturalist in Recorder Goff's of-, See in New York. Were it not for the known rigidity cf that official's moral standards, the incid-ent might have been dismissed as merely another evi-KiMtee.

that the town is wide open. With the campaign on its last legs as it were, we rise to remark that the esteemed Herald has not yet given au inquiring public its opinion of Mr. Monihon's performance In connection with tbe Gamewell fire alarm lease. General Grcsvenor is in a little doubt whether it would be 'propsr for an Ohio man to expect te be speaker. There is so littl 2 genuine modesty in the political world that this display by an Ohio man is decidedly noteworthy.

Imagine a meeting of national edu cators or a convention of any importance whatever held in Phoenix in the next two years and "Mayor Monihon" delivering an address of welcome. Great Scott! Likewise. Gee Whiz! Messrs. Hinky Dink and Bathhouse John ere ambitious to figure with more dignity in Chicago affairs, buv: are handicapped at the outset by the difficulty of reminding the public fh: they have any other names. The cool head that has been kept by each of the three natic-ns interested in the Samoan trouble- snows that.

where there's a will for peace there's always a way. T. A. Jobs is the people's candidate for recorder. There is net a flaw in his record.

He will be re-elected and' the whole town will be glad. Vote for Dyer. Liauver. Molloy, Job3. Christy and Prescott They are good men and the interests of the city will be safe in their hands.

THE SPRING NUMBER The Henry, 111., Republican prints the following: J. E. Bettler and some other good friend 'have: sent us -copies of the Easter number of the Phoenix (Arizona) Republican, a twenty-four page edition, containing an elaborate de scription of that thriving city and the territory in general. A'mong the well written articles is one on "Almond Culture" by J. E.

Bettler. and another on "Dairying" by Emery Kays, both of whom regard these industries as factors in that country. Robert Greene's hat store is given in one of the pictures, and also a complimen tary write-up cf his prosperous business. James Griffin is his head clerk. Harry Griffin is also a clerk in one of the city stores.

The Republican did itself proud in its write-up, and gave a very general description of the ad vantages and future greatness of that territory, correcting many false impressions cf that country. J. E. Bettler is a farmer near Mesa, seventeen miles from Phoenix, and Emory Kays is also an extensive fruit grower near Phoenix. They are both growing -up with the- country and rapidly gaining wealth and a competence.

INTERESTED, -NOT ENVIOUS. An editorial commentator in London, in reviewing the recent Vander-biH-Fair wedding in New York, puU: ths following reflections: "Th--wpdding presents are said to be 400,000, and the description of them reads, as one lady irreverently said, like a chapter in all big pearls and gold. The incident would not be worth mention but for -three facts cf some social importance. One is that the plutocracy in America excites at least as much attention as the aristocracy in Europe; another is that the plutocracy thinks it advisable to advertise its splendor; and the third Is that the democracy, instead of en; vying this wealth, evidently enjoys the profusion it produces as a sort of highly colored picture that breaks tie deadly monotony of the scene around. The wedding is a masque with a continent for spectators.

Boston Herald. RECALL NOTHING! "My dear," asked Mr. Figgars, looking -up from his accounts which he K'as auditing, "do you remember the name cf the arithmetic you studied?" "Why, let me see," replied. Mrs. Fig-gars, thoughtfully.

"No, I don't believe I do. Why?" "I was just wondering," explained the brute, "if there 'res any thing about it you did recall." Puck. HAD KI3 MONEY'S WORTH. Gothern, tlie comedian, was extremely sensitive to intcrruptian of any sort. Seeing man in the act of leaving his box during the delivery of one of ths actor's best speeches, he shouted out: ''Hi, you sir, do you know is another act?" The offender 'was equal to the he turned to the actor and answered cheerfully: "Oh, yes that's -why I'm going "Tit-Bits.
