All indications are that the rity will vote for constitutional rninent. satob Wolcott, of Colorado, is a liar kind of a traitor. Even as 'is 1898 he said : "The time when J country will submit to the final tsition of gold monometallism is Uway." Now e is one of the i submissive flunkies of the present nlstration.

Ji. Gape and F. M. Murphy to Tomb stone, which 4s (.opposed to have some thing to do with the reopeuing of the fcilver mines of that once flourishing camp. It will not work, neighbor, as it did onee when we had a railroad prouised through this valley. Tw years ago the voters of New Mexico listened to the sirea statehood song of the republicans and elected a delegate belonging to that ptrty to represent them in Congress; but we haven't heard of New Mexico becom ing a state. Have you? The repub licans are singing the same song this year, but it isn't attracting much at tention. The only hope for state hood lies in electing a democratic president and congress. In 1890 the republican platform promised admis sion for Arizona and New Mexico, and notwithstanding the party has been in complete power ever since, all we get is the merry ha-ha ! For a politi cal party that prides itself on having "redeemed every promise" this is very amusing for everybody but ourselves. Now that tho democrats of Arizona are united and harmonious, they will roll up one of their old-time majorities for Mark Smith for delegate to Con gress. Pinal county can be depended on to stand by him, for this county owes him a debt of gratitude which it can repay in no other way. It was due to Mark Smith's personal efforts that an appropriation of $20,003 was secured for the survey of the San Carlos dam, and as that great under taking Is one of Mark's pet projects he will see to it that an item is inserted in the Indian appropriation bill for commencing the work. His wide ac quaintance with senators and con gressmen is such that no man in Ari zona wields one-half the influence, and for this reasou, as well as for what bo has done and will do, the vote of Pinal county should go to Mark Smith unan imously. Ilis opponent, Oakes Mur phy, favors cession of the public lands to the territory, and everyone knows that this means their gobbling up by corporations, a stoppage of govern ment work already begun, and a con tinuation of the miserable system of canal management from which this valley has bo long suffered. There ought not to be the least division of sentiment in this matter, for our homes and firesides are at stake. Whes three such historic names in connection with the abolition move meat as those of George S. Boutwell, Thomas Wentworth . Higginson and William Lloyd Garrison, are affixed to an appeal to American negroes to vote against imperialism at the coming elec tion, it is high time for negroes who prize the security of human rights for their race more than republican patron age for themselves, to take anew their political bearings. This appeal, which was published on the 4th, takes high ground upon the race question. Here is an extract that thoughtful Ameri cans of all races may profitably con sider: Every day in the Philippines is al ready training our young American soldiers to the haoit of thinking that the white man, as such, is the right ful ruler of all other men. This is seen, for instance, in the fact that these rery soldiers in writing home letters from the seat of war describe the inhabitants of the Philippines more and more constantly as "nig gers," thus giving a new lease of life to a word which was previously dying out among us. Every defender of the war in congress sustains the contest on the assumed ground that the Fili pinos are unfit for freedom, although Admiral Dewey at first described them as more tit for it than the Cubans ; and Senator Hoar describes them to be probabiy better fitted than any race on the two American continents south of ourselves. In other words free dom is to become, for the new repub lican party, a matter of complexion. If this doctrine it to prevail, what hope is there for the colored race in the United States? The answer is easy ; there is in that case no hope at all. In the name of the old anti slavery sentiment, we call on you to resist this great danger, even if you have, for that purpose, to turn your backs on the party yon once had reason to love. The undersigned, trained from youth in the strictest school of anti-slavery conviction, are following up the same early training when they now write to you. We wish to warn you that the imperialistic republican party of to-day is not the liberty-loving party of that name which set the American negro free 40 years ago. The time is past when you can safely give to it your implicit support. We warn you that the American negro must hence forth think for himself and must cut adrift from every organization which wars on darker races, as such, and be gins to talk again of "the natural supremacy of the Anglo-Saxon." B. B. Deoure has returned from the Phoenix country and will resume his occupation of teamster at Chloride. He says with the drought, one-lungers and politicians, the lower country is in a sad condiiion.Moliave; Mineral Wealth. A Republican Tribute to Bryan. . The Boston Herald is compelled to pay Mr. Bryan a tribute of praise for the masterly speech he delivered' at Indianapolis and to remark that' it will be thoroughly read. It says : "The Herald, as is well enough known by this time, does not take the same view-of the subject discussed that is held by Mr. Bryan, and does not support his candidacy. But to say of this address that it lacks the quality of full manliness, intellectual or moral, would stultify our judgment. It is the utterance of a robust, earnest, compe tent disputant on a high theme of statesmanship. We have no motive to overpraise it; but our feeliug is that this speech will give Bryan higher rank among the statesmen cf the na tion than he has bad before. "The significance of the speech to the Republican party is that it is high time for its leaders to quit calling names and get down to business. If they suppose that it is in the power of money, or party organizations, or art fully fostered prejudices, to success fully oppose the effect of such an ad dress on the minds of tbe intelligent plain people who constitute tbe over whelming majority of the electorate of the nation, they will make a mis take. Mark Hanua, with all tho mil lions he can command, aud all the un scrupulous machine bosses he holds in leash, is not a match for a man who can talk to the American people as Bryan does in this speech. His ob vious sincerity, frankness and direct ness will break through and demolish any fortress of material politic or chicanery that can be erected in its path. It will prove a more effective speech than Senator Hoar's because it has iutease devotion and indomitable courage behind it." Farmers of the Salt Biver valley should take deep interest in the com ing election for delegate to congress. It is imperative that the water supply be increased. This can be done best, by standing as one of the solid seven teen states and territories of the west in favor of government reservoirs. Unfortunately Gov. Murphy is a pro nounced advocate of the theory of ced ing the tyid lands to the states and territories rather than to ask for federal aid in the construction of res ervoirs. The government dredges rivers, improves harbors and the like, and it Is in direct line to reclaim the arid west. Enterprise. BIG STORE OP STATIONERY. The Department Justice Conducts a. Wholesale Basin In Writ Inn- Materials. "The department of justice runs one of the biggest stationery concerns in the country," said a olerk of that de partment. "We have to do that to sup ply the various officials of the depart ment throughout the country. Not many years ago o-ir stationery bureau was used solely for the benefit of this immediate department. Judges, clerks of courts, marshals and other officials throughout the country purchased their supplies from stores in their cities and towns and sent us the accounts to pay. By this method we paid the retail price for everything. We found this would not do, as the highest prices were paid for everything. Under our pres ent system every official of tbe govern ment coming under our department makes requisition on us for supplies, and we send them at little cost, most of the time by mail. As we buy everything at cost prices we save to the govern ment thousands of dollars each year over the old method of doing business. "We carry a stock worth at least $6,000 at all times, and all the judges, marshals, clerks and others send to us for their pencils, writing paper, etc. It's funny, too, what strange fancies some of them have. For instance, there is a certain western judge who won't have anything else but a red pencil which is peeled off when it is sharpened. We carry this pencil in stock for no other person, as not many others have ever taken a fancy to it. I suppose he loses or misplaces all the other kinds of. pencils, but finds this one to his liking because he can easily see it. Plight here in the District of Columbia is a judge who listens to arguments with six pen cils in his hands. lie rolls these be tween his fingers while he is busy, and never has less than half a dozen. lie is not particular about the kind of pencil he has." Other officials have peculiar Idas about the kinds of paper, pens and ink they want, and they will have no other. Thus, you see, we carry a more varied assortment of goods than a sta tionery store."

In a speech delivered at Urbroath, Scotland, on September S last, John Morley, the great liberal leader, said: "And this brings me to the word suzer ainty. It is said that we have suzer ainty over the South African republic. Sir Alfred Milner said there is nothing in this controversy as to whether ve have suzerainty or not nothing ma terial. , My own view of suzerainty is that it is a word which nobody of course can define, but it has got a flavor of sovereignty in it, and yet it is not sovereignty; and that the Boers hate the word because it has got that flavor In it, and the war party in the Cape and in other places like the word because they hope to impart into it something or another which may enable them tin der a mask of sovereignty to do things which I think they had better not do." Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure, deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a running sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars ; free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, Ohio.

An enterprising young man with a big trunk stopped at a Chicago hotel. When he left the discovery was made that he had removed the carpet from his room and carried it away. A south side church in Chicago has a steeps on which arc lights are placed. The lamps are 225 feet above the level of the street and, as it might be imag ined, produce an excellent effect and serve to effectually advertise the church. In some places trolley companies are cultivating strips of lawn between the tracks, producing a most pleasant ef fect. The Electrical Review remarks that grass in the streets is now a sign of progress rather than of retrogres sion. There are 2,300 central station plants for generating electricity in the United States. These plants are owned by companies having a combined capital stock of $279,704,610, and employing 1,159,768 horse power in engines or water wheels. Fires on autocars are said to be be coming numerous in France with the increase of automobiles. Many of these fires are due to inexperience, as, for in stance, in a recent case, where the at tendant foolishly tried to fill the reser voir with petroleum without extin guishing the burners. To Xorth Carolina must be awarded tbe honor of being first to act as a col ony on the idea for independence. On April 12, 1770, its provincial congress instructed its delegates in the general congress at Philadelphia "To concur with the delegates of the other colonies in declaring independency, aud form ing foreign alliances." This movement was led by Cornelius Ilarnet, who was called the "Samuel Adams' of North Carolina. The invention of spectacles is often, but erroneously, ascribed to Roger Ba con, who died in 1225. Further research has shown that in 1215 Savino Dcgli Ar mati, a Florentine, first worked glass into the form of a lens. To him, there fore, may be accorded the honor of be ing the inventor of spectacles. He died at Florence in 1317, and was buried in the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, where his stone bears an inscription, which may be thus translated: "Here lies Savino Degli Armati of Florence, inventor of spectacles. May God for give his sins." Shooting Clr lnaja Tfero.gh Iron. The tallow candle which is shot through a door muRt hide its head be fore a seven and a half ounce plug of clay which has been so fired as to per forate an iron plate nn inch thick. The velocity of tha clay plug was tremen dous. It has been estimated that the speed necessary must be over 1,800 feet a second. Experiments of this kind were conducted by Ce.pt. Cooper Key, of the British army, at the Royal arsenal. A special gun was employed and pressed cylinders of raw dry clay three inches long and two inches in diameter were used. Eventually one of these plugs went through a cast-iron plate one inch thick from a distance of not more than 25 feet. X. Y. World. Religious Notice.

Mortifying Experience of a Girl at a House Party. As Intense Passion for Jewel Work ed Ipon Her While Asleep And She Committed the Theft. ' It gives one a weird feeling to be told of words said and acts committed when one is unconscious of external condi tions. It is for this reason that walking oi talking in one's sleep is so terrify ing A young woman who for years w as in the habit of walking in her sleep said that she felt as if she were pos sessed of some uncanny power which without her volition might at any time cause her to do something dreadful. "Unfortunately 1 have a passion for fin? stones," she said, "and that, com bined with my somnambulism, brought me once into a most uncomfortable po sition. 1 was invited to go with a house party to a large country place on the Hudson. Knowing my infirmity, I had never heretofore dared to accept sucIl invitations, but as I had not hud any; recurrence of my trouble for over a year I hoped I was rid of it forever and, urged by my iamily, I finally ac cepted. For the first two nights I probably remained quietly in my rotfm, but on the third a strange thing hap pened. At dinner that evening Miss, li, a girl from San Francisco, wore V peculiar jewel. It was a large pearL ; hanging from an equally large rubyv ! which was suspended from a diamond.. w hich in its turn quivered from an em i erald brooch. I admired the effect of the stones resting on the white lace of . her gown and she unfastened the pin and handed me the valuable ornament to look at. It was really a pleasure to me to hold the beautiful gems and I re . member telling her as I returned them to her that it was actually a physical, pleasure to handle them. 'The next morning I waked feeling that something had happened and I im mediately became possessed with the idea that I had walked in my sleep, al though I saw no evidence that 1 had done so. I felt most uncomfortable however, and my feeling of vague ap- prehension was not lessened when I went downstairs and found that during; the night Miss B. had been robbed of her jewel, which she had carelessly left, sticking in the pin cushion. "As it happened no one had comer down except Miss B. and our hostess, . and the latter seemed curiously indis posed to make a disturbance by an nouncing the loss publicly and begged us not to mention the fact to the rest of the guests. This Miss B. readily promised, as she realized what a dis agreeable finale it would be to the par ty, but she insisted upon sending at once for a detective and she quitted the room to wire her husband, who was iu town. "While Miss B. was telling of her loss I had the most curious feeling of being in some way connected with the affair, and as soon as we were alone I told her of my somnambulism and strange im pression. Whereupon she in her turn told how in the middle of the night she had been startled by a noise like the shutting of her door, and, being of a nervous disposition, she had sprung from her bed, opened it and looked into the dimly lighted hall and was aston ished to see that my door, which was op posite, was open, "When she missed her pin in the morning she concluded not to speak of the incident, as she really attached no importance to the coincidence, but now we both regarded the occurrence as significant and together we hastily returned to my room. There, careless ly laid on a chair near my bed, was the missing jewel, which had escaped my notice while I was dressing. The dis covery was a great shock to me so great a one that it probably effected my recovery, for I have never, to my knowledge, walked in my sleep since.' 3f. Y. Tribune. Explanatory.
