The JOURNAL, two years ago suggest, ed to the democracy, the propii.ty of 5ei ing bill passed through the territor- lal legislature, conferr;ng the Ufice of county treasurer on E. ]. Cook for life |. Of course the suggestion was unheeded. out We were informed few deys since, oy pcominent democrat, that such a

No, only IS t proposed to make life tenure of he office for the present incumbent. bu, on account of his advanced years. 1t IS proposed to so luther ard have II revert to bis son at his death.

There vas a vigorous debate in the South Carolina democr,tic convention over . resolution endorsing civil service reform. The resolution was omitted bJ the comn ittee on resolutions, but vas
 inxited by vote of the convention.
 The view of this subject which prevails among the democrats of North Carolina is Fic,uresquely expressed by one of
 them in the remark that "uhile public
 office is publi: trust, the tressurers
 must be democrats. If the eli,teiine
 generalit es of convenion resolution
 were swept away, that would be found to be the prevailing view among demo

Adeep and earnest conviction has taken roo, throughout the county that the courthouse ring should be broken. The way to do i, effectually is to cleo, the entire republican ticket.

OF INTEREST TO TAXPAYERS.

When the salary law wen, into efe. January Ist, 1886. the county treasurer became ex-officio tax collector. Previou to that time the sheriff was the tax-col lector receiving as compensation there for four per cent of the amour, collect ed. The salary til gives the sheriff 3 fixed compensation of $S,ooo and mile age and the treasurer $ ooO.
 At ,hs first meeting of supervisors ,fi, year the question of the collection Of delinquent taxes came up when Sheriff Mulvenon agreed to collect them. Beth the treasurer and sheriff being on sal ary ,he board agreed to the proposition but were surprised. when the ds.iaquert taxes were turned over, which should have amourt.d to $2S,S65.ao t, find that they were short ju.t four per cent. or $i.Is4,ss, the sheriff having retained that amount fer their collection and had just added t ,o his salary of SS.ooo.
 The question was suhmi ted to the attorney general for lis oi ion, by the board of supervisors, ani he rendered one adversely to the sheriff, who, how ever still holds CT to the SI,I545s. It will probably strike inc average tax pay CT. who has to "rustle' every year to raise the amount due from him 10 keep the cour;y government il operaton, and probably being compelled to deny his family some of the necessaries or lGxu ries m order 10 raise bis taxes th5t the sum of SS,oeo Is Of itself rlther a p,incely salary for even the shelif Of Yayapai county. without his having It. taned the extra SI,rs+55.

VOTERS TAKE HEED.

The election in this county Is not SO much one oi politics as it Is one of good government. this year. The great mass of the people are more interested in the economical administration of county af- fairs than they are in the political tri-
 umph of either party. for very large proportion of the voters of tine county, are independent in their way of think ing. The two tickets presented 10 the voters of this county have been nomi- mated by the representatives Of the two great political parties, and all other things being equal each would be enti- tied .o the support of the members of its party throughout the county. Other things, however are not equal, this year.
 l, is d notorious fact that the democratic ticket was nominated through means of the most open and fragrant corruption. Hundreds of dollars were spent to carry fhe primary election in Prescott, in favor of the leading men on the ticket. Not stopping q: this, i, is equally notorious, that a certain candidate, on the arrival of delegates, went into the open market and purchased the votes of delegates, at so much piece. The ticket, 50 far as six candidates al least were concerned was all prepared for days previous to the convention by party bosses and earned into that body and by use of coin and intimidation was put through exactly as desired hv the bosses. These are facts, which are well known tc intelligent and independent democratic voters in Pres colt and hy men who will no; support fine iicke, placed in nomination ty such
 means. The people throughout the county are equally interested with the people of Prescott n securing good economical county government Can they expect II from candidates who have been placed III nomination by the most corrup: meansY Will tine intelligent democratic voters tanely submit to the dictation of these would be bosses, men whom they have honored for years with official positions by their votes, and will they walk up 10 the polls and vote the ticke; prepared by these men for them, simply hecause they are democratsa- The puri,. of political parties, as well as the purity c. government itself in a republican form e: government depends on the perfectly free and un;rammeled exercise of the elective franchise by the people.
 The republican party of this county presents d ticket to voters not only com posed os men of ability and integrity and of men representing every interest and cyerv section oi the county, but of men nominated by the free choice of the people w!.Lou. tine use os any corrupt influences. IL only remains now for the peo,lc o! this county tc decide by their votes, whether they are in favor of po- ii.ical bosses and corruption as prac- ticej hy the democratic party or whether they ale m favor of purity m politics as cxeml iiiicd ty the republican conven- ton. and purity in government as Is guaranteed hy th. election of the repub- l ican county ticket

Once in while let your husband
have the last word it will crafty
him and be no particular loss to you.
Do be reasonable; it is q great deal
to ask under some circumstances !;
reasonable woman are rare-be rare.
Anticipate the discovery by your
husband that you are "only u woman"
if you were not he would not care
about you.
Remember that servants are made
of the same material as you are a
little coarser grained, perhaps, but
the same in essential
Let your husband read the news

sociable, but then it is only a trihe,
after all, and he likes it,
Read something in the papers be

is going on in foreign countries.
Try and forget yourself; as to
your husband, forget that you mar

Household Hints aud Recipes,


Remove fower-pot stains from the
window-sil by rubbing with fine wood
ashes, and rinse with clean water.
Cold cream, which easily becomes
rancid, may be preserved by the ad-
dition Of small amount of salicylic
acid.
Don't throw away the bent whale
bones, but straighten by soaking in
water about three hours and then
drying them.
Dainty little cases for small pieces
of iewelry are made ont of baby's
shoe, bronzed and lined with quilted
satin. 1t is fastened to the dressing
case by bow of ribbon.
Three or four soft pillows, each diff
ferent, now adorn fashionable sofa.
They are not ornamental merely, but
are put behind the back or under the
arms for the sake of comfort
TO make volatile soap for removing
paint, grease spots, etc, take four ia
blespoonfuls of spirits of hartshorn,
four tablespoonsful of alcohol, and q
tablespoonful of salt. Shake the
whole well together in a bottle, and
apply with sponge or brush.
A good vegetable soup is made in
this way: One onion, two potatoes,
one carrot, one turnip and six s talks
of celery cut in small pieces. Boil
them until soft in three pints of wa
ter, adding one pint of canned toma-
toes, with salt to taste. Put some
croutons in the tureen; turn the soup

celery and two thirds cabbage. Chop
them both together very fine and
make dressing as follows: One tea
spoonful each of salt, pepper, sugar,

Cure for Writer'S Cramp.

Writer'S cramp is an affection which,
until very recent date, has been looked
upon as in most cases incurable. Fort
unately, however, for those who suffer
from this disease, means are now known
to exist not only for its amelioration,
but for its permanent cure. The diff
Guilty is one which is not, as its name
implies, confined to writers. 1t may
occur in any individual whose occupa-
ton brings into constant play one set of
muscles; thus the pianist, the teleg-
rapher, and the ballet-dancer may suf
fer from these cramps or from an inabil-
ity to perform the acts peculiar to his
occupation.
The cramps are merely symptoms of a
diseased condition, the exact seat of
which is matter of dispute; some To-
eating it in the brain, others in the
spinal cord, while there are those who
regard the nerve-centers as in no wise
affected, but trace the source of the af-
lection to the nerves themselves. The
method of treatment which has been
found most successful consists in the
application OF gymnastics, combined
with massage, to the affected muscles.
The rubbing, and sometimes gentle
striking of the muscles with a wooden
bar, together with regular movements
of the fingers or other defective part,
are continued for several weeks, during
which time not more than one hour
daily is devoted to these exercises. -
