WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER s, lss
PauA UousrY nGpUBLICAxs.

The republican county convention oi Pima county adopted the following reso- lutions:
 We believe that in public expenditures, both county and territorial, the most rigid economy should be practiced, that the burden ot taxation may be light as possible.
 We heartily endorse the efficient and active course of our present delegate m congress.
 We believe that Il wJuld be of general advantage and result in public good to revise the statutes of the territory.
 The republican party now, as it has ever done, favors the public school sys- tem and pledges itself to uphold it free from scctarian influences
 We denounce n unqualified terms the unwise. unpatriotic and reactionary policy of the democratic party whereby the value oi silver has become alarm ingly deprecia,ed and the principal in dussIy of Arizona and Of the other ter Ei,ories has been paralyzed and thous- ands of laboring men and their wives and children have been deprived of the means of subsistence.
 We believe that trade between the Uniied States ard the Republic of Mex ico would be better facilitated by the establishment of an international silver coinage.
 Again we call upon the general gov ernment. through our delegate in con- gress, our legislature, our governor and by every other proper means, to see that the laws prohibiting polygamy be strictly enforced. Ina, all indians De perma- nently removed from the territory; that the Indian resa rvaiion, among the airest and most fruitful portions of our domaIn, be opened to occupancy by the actual settlers, and that all questions pending 10 affec, the titles to the land be speedily ard definitely settled, 10 the end that We may be secured in our homes already made and free to attract to us all people who seek to create new onex
 With strict party vote in this county it would be found that the two parties were pretty nearly tied. There is how ever, a considerable, of what is called a floating vote, composed of indePen- dent voters who will no, ally themselves to either party, and who really hold the balance of power. The party which will put up the best ticket and which l can secure this vote is the one 10 suc- Ceed at the polls. The republican party in this precinct has made the right start. by leaving the choice of delegates entirely with the rank and file of the party instead of having req dy made 1 slates to force upon them. If |; con- tinues this policy its success at the polls is assured.

One of the effects of tobacco Is tend ency to prodnce fatty degeneration of the tissues, nearly all of them being sub ject to this. The popular notion that
 the Use of tobacco will preveut corpulency is a deception, except as it interiors with healthy nutrition. A very general effect is fatty degeneration of the mus cles, especially those oi the heart. Per sons whese system are saturated with
 tobacco are very slow in recovering
 from sprains and bruises of the muscles. nor do they bear surgical operations very well. But by lar the most serious efiec t Is tobacco heart which is rupture of this organ from the deposit of fat cells in the flores of the muscles, which destroys their integrity and Is immediately fatal. It occurs mostly Tn young persons Another effect of tobacco Is d tendency to produce cancerous affections.

Agencies In Paris for Marrying United
states Dollars 60 Preach Names.
An American gentleman, who for many
ycnrs past has been established in bust
ness In Paris, received one day a call
from a handsomeiy-drc female in
whom he recognized q notorious Ameri.
can nlemb Der of the demi-monde OF Paris.
She came, she said, to propose to him
a lucrative business transaction. She
had in her possession list of sundry
hlgh.born and titled gentlemen who
wished to marry rich American girls.
and she displayed such q list inscribed
with some Of the proudest names OF the
French aristocracy. =
II my countryman would inform her
of the Arrival In Paris of any wealthy
American ladies, and of the presumed
amount OF their fortunes, she would, on
the accomplishment Of q marriage be-
tween any one Of these and one Of her
clients, at once pay over to him half Of
the stipulated percentage onthe dowry,
which In her case was to amount to 10
per cent.
1t is needless to say that the woman's
offer was refused. But the very fact of
Its being made showed how widespread
Is the system Of the matrimonial agency
In Paris. and how extensive and elabor-
ate must be lis arrangements for obtain
Ing information.
There Is an Austrian gentlemen moving
In the beet society OF Paris whom /
strongly suspect Of being one Of the
secret and accredited agents OF ono OF
these establishments.
He tried hard, but In vain, some years
ago, to bring about a match between the
daughter and only child of q wealthy
American gentleman then visiting this
city and q French duke Of ancient
family, The duke turned out finally to
be an impOstor, and was forced to take
flight from Paris.
Employees of these agencies are also to
be found at the principal hotels here.
They are usually women, generally bear
Understanding titles, and arc pleasant Of
manner and affable Of bearing. Their
business Is to make acquaintance with rich
Americans who have daughters. 80 that
the daughters aforesaid may be presented
to impecunious Adventures on the look
out to repair their fortunes by mar
riage.
The matter Is very adroltly managed
