If this be true, there has been a
great change in the past few years.
McKjni.ev proposes to give Porto
-Bico a territorial form of government
similar to Arizona. Porto Rico has
our sympathy.
Navajo county, Arizona, which ex
pends 275 miles from north to south,
has only nine saloons. It must be a
long time between drinks up there.
Wiieh old fish-women get to running
-wines no wonder good men get killed.
The superintendent of a mine should
understand his business the same as
the mantiger of any other undertak
.taking., only more so.
(W. J. Bryan thrusts these truths
.forward for the imperialists to con
template: "Monarchies are founded
upon force, and republics upon consent.
A republic cannot enter upon a colon
ial policy. It cannot advocate govern
ment by consent at home, and govern
ment by force abroad."
'The warm weather has no appreci
able effect on the matrimonial market,
.although a gentleman from Texas
who has been jn Florence for the past
f,ev weeks remarked the other day
that he "would shorely sooner git
married than spend another summer
in this climate." But the Texas man
is not yet acclimated.
Is Globe they are agitating the ques
tion of building a wagon road into
Mineral Creek in order to secure the
trade of that rich section of ourconnty.
Something should be done to offset
.this movement, and our people should
not hesitate long in improving the
.road and building bridges if they ex
pect to hold the business for Florence.
Thb people of Florence appreciate
ilia great advantage to their town
should the government conclude to
build the dam at the I?attei; but
should the site at San Carlos prove to
be the better one, they will cheerfully
.acquiesce in the expenditure of the
money in Graham county so long as
the land to be brought under cultiva
tion lies in the Casa Grande valley.
The San Francisco Examiner has
declared war on prison birds wbo have
become "offensive partisans" and ad
vises that every ex-convict be chal
lenged at the polls and arrested if he
votes. It says there is no doubt that
those who are voting on the strength
of the "restoration to citizenship" on
their discharge papers can be convicted
and punished for illegal voting; and
it is time that a test was made in re
gard to those wbo bave been restored
lx liberty by the pardoning power of
the Governor an d assume the right to
run politics.
Tfas position of a county supervisor
is one of (Treat delicacy. He is called
upon to equalize the valuation of his
neighbor's property as well as his
own, and this sometimes causes feel
iog. In Tucson the other day Ben
Ileney of the Frontier felt that he
had a grievance when he was raised
and offered to sell his property for less
than the assessed valuation. Getting
no offer, he published the following:
Well, If the Board will not bujr maybe they
will tell. We have a pool organized and
we make them this offer: wfl will purchase
their assessable property in Pima county
for double the valuation they pay taxes
on. This takes them all In, or any single one
of them. The offer is open till Deo. SI next
Wi advise Senator Burrows and the other
republicans who have been giving aid and
encouragement to the enemies of the ad
ministration to take a fresh look about the
political horizon. "Anti-expansion" is the
last ditch of the old-time foe of the repub
lican parfy. Now is the time for good re
publican! to line up in defense of the ad
ministration and of the honor of the coun
try. Phoenix Kiepubllcan.
And we advise (since advice is the
fashion) tj;e Republican to line up
with the balance of th. a territory in
favor of government aid for storage
reservoirs, more especially that for the
benefit of the Indians on the Sacaton
reservation. Congress will be ap
pealed tq the coming winter for a
liberal appropriation to commence the
work. . Will the Republican lend its
assistance, or will it continue to throw
obstacles in the way of this great
humanitarian project for the allevia
tion of the condition of the nation's
wards by advocating cession of the;
arid, lands to the territory? The
Tribcxk stops Hie pre to await a re

IRRIGATION AND POLITICS. j
State Cession Declared to Baa Dangerous
proposition.
While the question of irrigation in
the West is one far outside of politics,
every man, woman and child of an arid
region realizing the necessity for and
the dependence upon a water supply.
Yet the editor of that sterling sheet,
the Wichita Eagle, looUs deep down
into the subject and sees danger ahead
for any party which is misled into
adopting a certain line of national
policy affecting the arid lands of the
West. The Eagle says : ,
"Primarily there is no parly politics
in the proposition of irrigation, yet
there is a phase of it appearing in the
late Trans-Mississippi contention
which might lead into partisanship,
and to the detriment of the Republi
can party in the western states. The
proposition to have the general gov
ernment grant tLe pvrblic lands of the
several western states and territories,
to be disposed of by them for the rais
ing of money to build reservoirs, if
adopted, will prove disastrous. The
states and territories, through the pol
iticians, in their respective legislative
bodies, will inevitable lose tiieir lands
and wake up later to the fact that
they have no water stored, nor money
with which to build reservoirs.
"The general government might
safely permit these states and territo
ries to lease these public lands fur pas
turage and the like, and to employ the
proceeds in constructing reservoirs,
but ihe land should be held sacredly
for the future settler, for the farmer,
ia legal subdivisions of quarter sec
tions. The experience in state land
grants for public improvements Is all
in one direction, that is, the lands have
been squandered with no benefits ac
cruing to the people.
"The federal government, as such,
for the people, builds jetties, deepens
harbors, constructs levies and the like.
So with this irrigation lied reclamation
of arid lands,
''The government cbould make di
rect and specific appropriations for the
storage of waters in the mountain dis
tricts of California, Arizona, Colorado,
New Mexico, Wyoming and the rest,
in not only the interest of the people
of those states, but to the end of a di
rect revenue in the way of a 6ale of
the lauds so rendered valuable, and of
eubsequent taxation. Sufficient wa
ters, for instance, can be stored at the
headwaters of the Arkansas river to
supply the lower valley in eastern Col
orado and western Kantaswith a regu
lar and abundant flow of water for
irrigation purposes during the crop
season. What is trne of the Arkansas
valley is true of the valleys of all the
states and territories named, very
largely. Water storage and storage
by the government through annual
appropriations nntil all that can be
done in the way of reclamation has
been accomplished, is the only safe,
reasonable and effective policy." '
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
It was remarked by many p resent at
the Columbus banquet who had heard
Mr. Bryan on other occasions that this
was the best speech he ever delivered,
not excepting his speech at the Chicago
convention. One of his happiest hits,
declares the National Watchman, was
when be ssid that the few who now
wanted to "get off" the Chicago plat
form were the men who never were
"on" the Chicago platform, and in
answering those who charged that the
Democratic party was like a good
father who did , not disinherit
or disown the first-born simply
because other children were born
into the family; that the party is
large enough to take care of issues as
they arise, and would solve all prob
lems, testing them by the principles
laid down by the fathers. The spon'
taneity and continuity of the applause
throughout Mr. Bryan's address, and
the other addresses, and particularly
at mention of such names as Bryan,
Towne, Williams, Teller, Tarvin and
Lentz, demonstrated that Bryanism
and silver are stronger to day in the
Buckeye state than they were in 1S9G,
and it is safe to fay that nothing less
then the grossest of treachery and the
basest of bribery can prevent Ohio
sending a delegation of forty-six to
the next national convention pledged
to the renomination of Mr. Bryan and
the reaffirmation of the Chicago plat
form, .

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mncous
surfaces of the system, thereby des
troying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assist
ing nature in doing its work. Ane
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of Testi
monials.

The troubles that beset him
Would drive a corpse to tears.
Take up the printer's burden
A form knocked into pi,
The edit or arrested
For publishing a lief
A typo full of bug ulce,
The foreman far away
Uion some big excursion
The devil is to pay.
' Take up the printer's burden
At last the paper's out
John Smith's wife had a baby, ,
Two rowdies had a bout;
Brown's children had the measles.
Miss Flip's pug dog is dead,
Miss Tattle had a quilting.
And not a word was said. '
Take up the printer's burden
He puffs the old dead town;
He calls the women beauties
And lies just like a clown.
He lauds the supervisors
And prints their pedigrees;
They pay hlra back by cutting
His publication fees.
Take up the printer's burden
Give him a little rost;
With all his imperfections 4
He doubtless does his best ;
About his hnavbih neighbors
He tells not half that's true,
Believing that the devil
Will sometime get his due.

James Riley was the victim of a pe
culiar and very painful accident last
Monday afteruoou, at the Murphy
slaughter bouse, where he was butcher
ing cattle. In jumping down from the
skid, or box, which is about ten feet
above tha floor, bis left arm caught on
a meat hook hung from the box by a
cord about two feet long. The hook
entered the arm on the inner side of
the biceps muscle about three inches
below the shoulder, tearing a frightful
gash four inches long down the arm,
and leaving Riley suspended. Al
though the pain was excruciating, by a
great effort he caught hold of the cord
with his right hand and raised himself,
thereby releasing bis left arm from the
cruel hook. He hurried to town and
Doctors Wm. Claypool and T. S. Col

A Mother Tells How She Saved Her Lit
tle Daughter's Life.
I am the mother of eight children
and bave bad a great deal of experi
ence with medicines. Last summer
my little daughter had the dysentery
in itB worst form. We thought she
would die. I tried everything I could
think of, but nothing seemed to do ber
any good; I saw by an advertisement
in our paper that Chamberlain's Colic
uooiera ana uiarrnoea liemedy was
highly recommended and sent and got
a bottle at once. It proved to be one
of the very best medicines we ever had
in the house. It saved my little daugh'
Hjrs me. i am anxious tor every
mother to know what an excellent
medicine it is. Had I known it at first
it would have saved me a great deal of
anxiety and ray little daughter much
suffering. Yours truly, Mrs. Geo. F.
