ritory which might be in successful OPP
eratIon but for the ignorance of the
former superintendents, and that this
fact has lost to US the confidence of those
whose capital can assist in developing
our Territory is as bitter as it is uni ust
and oppressive, but we can see the rem
edy for it in our present success and in
the exercise of wiser judgment in the
future. Let us, then, be content to la
Dor, and not "despise the day of small
things" There is some consolation in
knowing that all our mining countries,
after having passed through the same
ordeal, come out right in the end. This
must be our experience. Those of our
fellow-citizens who leave the Territory
now because of the present depression,
do not calculate the chances Alright for
its prosperous condition a year hence.
We shall no longer retrograde. From
this time our march is onward and up
ward. With the improvements in
quartz mining next season. we
shall experience a healthy advance in
all our material interests, and the enI~
barrassments incident to our present
condition, which now cast SO dark a
cloud over the future, will be- expelled
by the increasing sunlight of a sure and
permanent prosperity. Capital will flow
in upon us, railroad facilities will dimin-
ish the distance between us and the
great eastern ana western centers, and
our enterprise, led by the inevitable
spirit which permeates and enlirens all
portions of our widespread country,
will find ample scope for it's develops
magnificent valleys of this beautiful
Territory.

PARSINIONGOUS.


Ii there is any one thing TO be contem-
ned in a public officer above another it
is genuine parsimony, under the plea of
economy in the expenditure of public
funds.
The people of this county have been
taxed, and very justly too, for the pur.
pose of erecting an elegant court house.
The public service required its construc-
ton, and while il is fair TO the view, at
the same time il is unfit TO hold court
in, unless judge, lawyers, suitors. jury
men and witnesses decide 10 pull off their
shoes and boots upon entering it. Our
County Commissioners have "a queer
idea about furnishing court room prop
erly, and we would suggest, If they are
not deaf, that they repair TO the halls of
Justice some afternoon and listen to the
music of "calf and kip" while court is in
session, and endeavOr to appreciate ;Ae
importance of purchasing some Js,Atttag
with which TO cover the floor. Nye have
been told that Sheriff Roberts has im-
portuned the Board of County Commits
sioners To- expend little money to make
the court room a suitable place IN which
to administer Justice, but in vain. Those
Solons who oppose such a reform nAst
have been raised in saw mills, or learaed
by some means, lessons of economy aI
variance with common sense.

BRIDGE BUILDING.

The Democratic party, unsuccessful
as a political institution, is about to
turn it's attention To bridge building.
1t is recommended to this course by its
acknowledged organ, the New York
World This journal has just began
to realize that "the political party
which does not advance with the ma
tion and enter into the full essence of
it's expanding and exuberant lite, is on
declivity which descends to decadence
and decrepitude." By the expression
of this sentiment the World gives us
a hint of its inmost thought, namely :
that the Democratic party is on the
"declivity" aforesaid, for this party of
all others is the one which boasts that
it is always the same, and which, con-
sequently, could not have advanced
with the nation. The organ aforesaid
hopes to help the matter by resorting
to bridge building, and hopes to gain
elements of strength from the opposi>
ton if il "has the boldness to build a
bridge on which they can cross" The
proposed bridge of sIghs of the World
comes, however, too late. The Demo-
cratic party is already fioundering in
Salt River, and no bridge building can
prevent the tide of public opinion from
sending it up to the very source of that
saline stream In November.

POLITICAL.

Bets are offered in Washington that
Grant will carry every Northern State.
And yet there are no takers. The
trouble is. the Democrats are all takers.
The Newark Courier says if the Re-
publicans continue the canvass as il is
being prosecuted, New Jersey will Ger
tainly go for Grant.
We pay $4O,OOO,OOO year for the re-
pudiation plank in the New York plat
form. We pay six and seven per cent.
interest on onr debt for the pleasure of
running Seymour and Blair
for the Presidency. Capitalists would
loan us all the money we need tor four
per cenl were it not for the dishonest
threats of Pendleton and Pomeroy. Let
us reduce the interest and the taxes by
electing Grant.
Laboulaye, the eloquent French advo-
cate of our cause during the rebellion,
writes TO friend in the United States ::
Now that the election of a new Pres
ident to execute the laws of Congress
approaches, / need not tell you that all
my wishes are for General Grant. The
wisdom and humanity shown by him
during the war, his respect for the law,
his capacity for affairs, prove him " holly
worthy to stand among the successors
of Washington. l am sure that with
him you will have enduring peace. The
South has learned both to honor and
fear Gen Grant, and his Presidency will
complete the reconstruction of the Un~
ion /"

A good joke is told OF young man
who attended social circle a few even
ings since. The conversation turned on
California and getting rich. Tom -
remarked that if he was in California, he
would, instead of working in the mines,
way-lay some rich man who had a bag
full of gold, knock out his brains, gather
up the gold, and skedaddle. One of the
young ladies quietly replied that he had
better gather up the brains, as he evil
IDENTIFY stood more in need of that article
than gold

SEVERE BUT TRUE.

/
Carl Shurz, in a recent speech ut CHI
cago. among many other good things in
reply To- the charge of Senator Doolittle,
that the Republicans have established
to the Rio Grande, more despotic than
any in Poland, Hungary, or Ireland, :"
says: "If the military governments of
the South had been like the military
despotisms in Hungary, Poland and
France, men like the rebel Generals
Preston and Forrest would long ago
have expired on the gallows, instead OF
presuming TO give Vice President TO
the United States. Wade Hampton
would have been mouldering under
ground, instead of debating Democratic
platforms, and trying to starve loyal ne
groes into voting the Democratic ticket.
Henry A. Wise's redoubtable tongue
would now be food for worms instead OF
proclaiming the victory of the lost
cause and thousands of Southern
ladies and gentlemen would now be
shivering under the icebergs of Alaska,
instead of killing negroes and splitting
in the faces of Southern Unionists." T"
This is too true. These men, now so
eager for the defeat of the Republican
party knew not at the close of the war,
what was to be their fate. They had
struck at the life of the government,
deluged the North in blood, and set up
a government of their own. By all law,
human and divine, their lives were for
feited. They were spared through the
merciful action Of the government, and
now, for meanly selfish partisan purpo~
ses, they are held up by such men as
Doolittle as models of chivalry and un-
paralleled examples of Republican ven-
geance. How absurd II Shakspear e
were living he might find in either of
these much abused patriots, a flesh
and blood illustration, of Falstaff re-
minding Prince Hal of the wrongs he
had suffered, over the dead body of Percy
Ii is not sufficient that our government
permits these men and jeff Davis and
Lee and Beauregard to go unwhiped of
justice, but it deems that their most
damnable treason entities them to re-
ward. They must have honor, place,
wealth, power, and because they do not
get them the Seymour and Blair party
raise the howlof Military Despotism." I"
Dogberry's notion of magistracy, Justice
Shadows interpretations of law and
Jack Falstaff's notions of honor, must
from this time cease to be burlesques.
The great bard is out done by an exhi-
bition of real life here in the American
Republic in the nineteenth century.
Let the poor suffers of Russian barbarity
in Poland, and of Austrian vengence in
Hungary. hide their diminished heads
in the light of the sufferings of
Wade Hampton, Henry A. Wise and the
Wholesale murderer Forrest. If by
such illustrations of Republicanism, the
Democrats expect to gain a single vote
for Seymour and Blair, God help their
simplicity, say we. There IS no brighter
star in the wreath of Republicanism.
than that which commentaries the
beautiful union of mercy with Justice IN
her treatment Of the South after she
was conquered, humbled and suppliant
at her feet. 1t was worthy the loftiest
fame of a great nation, and furnished
a precedent in history, which will be re-
corded TO the honor of the American
name through all future time.

The best way to get any obstruction
from the ear is to make loop of fine
wire simply by doubling it. Pass it into
the ear as far as il will go and turn it
gently. The patient should lie on his
side. At the first or second withdrawal
the obstruction is sure to come out. The
usual way-of inserting pins head or
a kitting needle is always dangerous
while the looped wire is entirely free
from danger, and is much more efficient.

Do not be troubled because you have
no greet virtues. God made million
spires of grass before he made one tree.
The earth is fringed and carpeted, not
with forests, but grass. Only have
enough of little virtues and common
fidelities, and you need not mourn be-
cause you are neither a saint nor a hero.

Thomas w. McCue has commenced
