The Dutehman's Cheese.

"Give me some Limburger and glass
of beer" said q chap as he sat down
and placed his feet up on the table.
The saloon keeper brought the beer
and cheeze, when the chap sang out,
Z" this is no good cheese there is no smell
to it,"
"Not goot cheese" Got in himmel it
ish yust splendit.'
Put your nose down and smell it
then," replied his customer.
The saloon keeper placed his nose
down to the cheese, and then toward the
feet on the table, and as he raised up
turned to the chap and said in an in
jured tone of voice.
"Dake off dose feets vrom dere dable,
und gif der cheeze some show, und den

Father, who travels the road so late ?"
Hush, my child, tits the candidate.

Early he comes and early he goes,
He greets the wo men with courtIy grace,
He kisses the baby's dirty face,
He calls to the fence the farmers at work,
He beres the merchant, he bOres the clerk,
The blacksmith, while his anvil rings
He greets, and this is the song he sings:

cabins were our homes. To cry down the
ereriion of elaborate public buildings is 20 resist
the advance of the arts aud the proper educa-
ton OF a better public taste. 1t is but the old
cry of the demagogue who would measure the
people by the cheap cry of dollars and cents,
suppressing the fact that il people is ever TO
be anything It must expect to paw for 1t.
We call upon the people TO resist the advance
OF dishonest currency. dishonest ideas, and
miss'ated facts. The evil of the day is the
political unrest that has been caused by the
ambition for place and power of the enemirs of
the country. We call upon all members of the
party 10 unite to meet the advance OF deluded
men who, blind tn the fact that their leaders
are blind. are seeking their own ruin and com
mon disaster. Only In the triumph of the
Republican party can We hope to return TO

two parties that are bs different roads advanc-

We ever hope 20 see the thousands of workmen
now idle enjoying the fruits of labor. Honest
money. honest Government. and the faithful
carrying out OF contracts, are the principles
upon which the Republican party goes into this
struggle. Money that Is no money and the
violation of sacred obligations are what the
opposing parties advocate. That there can be
any doubt Of choice among these three parties
By upright honorable men. we do not believe.

imaginary but real, as the country learned
when its industry and commerce were pros
trated for many weary months by the repudiat-
ing and revolutionary threats OF the last Con-
gress. They eau be averted only by the elec-
ton of a Republican House
The Republicans cannot expect public conf
dence hereafter unless they devote themselves
sincerely and earnestly to the work of pro-
tecting the public interests. But those interests
can be protected, at this time, only BY hearty
and united effort to secure the election OF
Republican Congressman. He is an enemy OF
the party and of the public welfare who
endsngers the defeat of a Republican candi-
date Tor Congress IN any district either by
squabbes over nomination or its method, or
by pitiiul wrangies concerning local offices
The whole strength of the party ought to be
concentrated upon the election of members OF
Congress, that repudiating and revolutionary
Democracy, ruled BY solid South, NAV not get
power to bankrupt the country, TO dishonor it,
or to disturb its peace. This is the first and
highest duty. for which every patriotic citizen
and every true Republican ought to be ready
to sacrifice personal likes and dslikes, auibi-
tinns and srudges. He who does not his duty
in this respect, whether friend or foe OF the
Administration, does not deserve well Of the
party nor of the country.
1t Is practicable 10 deprive the Democratic
party of control of the House. Ii is true that
party has nearly solid support at the South.
and will need not many members from Northern
States 20 give it a majority. Cancellation has
not prevented the virtual disfrauchisement OF
eolored Republicans by law. in some Southern
States, nor the continuance of that terrorism
which makes it a waste of time and of innocent
lives TO commence 4 struggle in others, nor the
organization of Confederate cavalry aud artil-
lpry, as in PSllips county. Arkansas, to capture
districts in which the legitimate Republican
majority is counted by thousands. So much
the greater need of Republican unity aud
determined effort at the North. Nor
are encouraging signs lacking. In very
many doubtful districts, the c. eenback
movement. which Democratic demagogues have
fostered so long, will draw from the Democratic
candidates a great number of votes The more
the financial issues forced upon the atten-
tion of sober, intelligent and conservative citi-
Zens, the more the Republican party will gain
Ia strength. Democratic disgust at the con
duct of members of the last Congress has caused
the defeat of a surprising number OF those
members in their efforts for denomination, aud
the Unsuitable greed of aspiraBts has produced
serious division in several districts. But Repub-
licans cannot expect TO win unless they are
united, resolute, and willing TO sacrifice per
sonal interests and feelings 20 the public good.

WHAT TO Do.

Every Thoughtful Republican must realize
that it is OF the highest Importance to elect
majority Of members OF the ne>> House OF
Representatives. The Senate has been lost.
For some years the Democrats will control that
Uody. Ii they can also secure control of the
House, the consequences may Be much more
serious than men ordinarily expect. II will
be held that the people, By the election OF
majority of Democrats, have given fresh and
definite instructions in favor of the revolution
arymeasurrs attempted by the last Congress, or
proposed in the platforms OF that party in the
States Every vicious and dangerous element
in that party viii be encouraged; the more
conservative and honest men, who have saved
the country from incalcuabie evils Dy their
sIeadast resistance, will Oe dishearteued. The
worst measures of reputation or imitation would
then be thought to have the stamp of direct
popular approval; shameless jobs like the last
River and Harbor bill will seem to be not only
excused but rewarded: Southern claims by the
hundred will b. pressed with renewed con-
hdence aud greater hope of success; and the
revolutionary schemes, which caused the
creation of the Potter Committee, will be
kindled into life. Both the sessions of
congress which occur next winter, and the
first session a.. the new Congress, will then be-
come in the last degree dangerous To the put
lie welfare aud pssc=. These dangers are not

MISSION OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

The Republican party is the party of honesty,

insecure. Itappeais TO history for the confirm
alton of its assertions. and the g!oOmiest pages
OF English aud French history sustain its con

National banks and the exclusive issue
of paper money by the Federal Gov

make the volume Of currency entire

would transfer the power OF regulating the

THE HAMMOCK INDIANS.

The Bannock, or Snake Indians, who are committing acts of hostility in southeastern Idaho, are scarcely worthy of the name of a tribe. There are numerous bands from ten 10 fifty in number, wandering through the country and subsisting upon roots, berries and fish. It is estimated that not more than ive hundred are fighting men. and they have but few horses, and are far inferior in every respect to the Nez Perces and Sioux. The Camas prairie, the scene of recent opera
 ions, is a valley, or series of valleys, water
 Il by several little brooks which run from Salmon river mountain in a southerly direc- ion and form the Maiade river. The Ma
 ade. so-eailed by the pioneer French trap Ders on account of the unhealtniness of the
 ocality. is sluggish stream for about sev- ,nty miles of its course. Then it turns ab- ruptly from east to south, running through lava beds, part of the time underground, and increased in yolume by the waters of he McArthur river, rushes in torrent to the Snake river, a branch of the Columbia. The Camas prairies are fine agricultural region, If 1,500 square miles, walled on the north ny the wiid rugged Salmon river mountains, and hcmmed in on the east, south and west by almost impregnable lava beds. Such are the Indians who, having no choice between death by starvation and fighting, have chosen to fight, and such is the region in winch the warfare is carried on.

For the Legislature.

The people on the outside think that they should have voice in the selection of can didates for the next Legislature, and a prominent politician suggests that districts Dc formed as follows, and candidates sc- leeted therefrom:
 Alexandra, Bradshaw and Walnut Grove e district; Peoples, Kirkland, Skull and Thompson valleys, including Date creek, as smother district; Williamson valley, Camr Hualpsi, Chino valley and Bill Williams mountain district; the Verde valley an- other district, and the Tiptop and Agua Fria still another district, and then let each sf said districts send their favorite to rep resent them in the Legislature. The coun. try cast of the Moeolione it has been gen orally admitted, is entitled to two repre- sentasives-one in each branch-which gives the county, outsideof Prescott, seven mem bsrs. This seems to be about fair and the people are requested to send in the names of their fsyoritcs for the position.

Annual savings.

The United States has increased in wealth for the last hundred years more rapidly than any other nation. It has to-day six times as many miles of railroad, seven times as much tillable land not cultivated, as Great Britain, the only country superior to it in wealth. Each country has net in- come from its capital and labor of about 5000, 100000, and David A. Wells esti- mates the annual saving of the United States as one-tenth Of the earnings. The average share of the annual production for each individual is about $i30. So long as
 industry goes hand-in-hand with intelli- yence, wealth must accumulate. Every house, every stable, every fence in region previously unoccupied; every bridge, every
 nacadamized road, every railroad, every 'elegraph, every steam engine, every labor saving implement, every orchard or planta-
 ion of valuable timber trees, is an addi- tion to the wealth of the country, and gives additional value to the wealth of the land, that without them would not be available. The yearly loss by fire in the United Stat,s is $600 900 ,000, and the waste by cxcesses md follies cannot be ascertalned, but mounts up to an immense sum.

MAIL CHANGE.

Messrs. Stewart and Pierson, of the c. q
 A. Stage Co, have disposed of their interest
 in the stage business to Messrs. Gilmer q
 Salisbury, the new contractors. who will
 hereafter conduct the business of their own
 accord. and make some essential, and to the travelling public, important changes The route will be strengthened to run direct from Prescott to Yuma, via Kirkland Val lev, Date Creek, Cuttings Station, Tyson's
 Wells, etc. and passengers landed at either end of the route in sixty hours. By adopt ing this route, 40 miles is saved in distance, and passengers brought through in rcasona- ble time, which is not calculated to wear out the most vigorous constitutioa, and for ever leave an impression upon the mind of the visitor that Prescott Is the last jumping of place of all creation.
 In place of the now heavy, burdensome coaches used. light shoroughsface wagons are to bs placed on the route. Stations at reasonable distances will be established, and everything possible arranged to make the trip from the terminus of the railroad to Prescott pleasant one. The maIl fer Phe- nix and the southern portion of the Terri tory will connect at Date Creek, instead of Wickenburg, as heretofore, and passengers will be spared the usual trouble and expense at Antelope Hill, of patronizing Walkers line on each and every occasion that they are compelled 10 visit Prescott by stage. Messrs. Gilmer 6 Salisbury are probably the most extensive stage men now in the United States, having contracts that cover some five miles, and it is reasonable to sup pose that they will conduct their staging business in this Territory, as they have a reputation of doing in other places-simply lirst-class.
 E. P. Nichols, who has long been with the old company, and is known 10 be first class stage man, will be retained by sle new company.
