1t is probably entirely unnecessary for
the EAGLE to say, at least TO his friends
who know him best, that any talk at To-
peka or anywhere else to the effect Il at
Murdocks endorsement by the county
convention or his after support by local
friends, involved no political trade or
consideration. No man could have stood
out more consistently against the pro-
posed honor and no mans friends could
have been more unselishly earnest and
sincere in their support. Some people
are too rotten to breathe contentedly an
unsuspicious or an uucontaminated az
mosphere.

If it should turn out that the alleged
dynamite conspiracy on the part of the
officers and members of the Brother
hood Locomotive engineers, who were
arrested and put upon trial on that
charge, was a put up job on the part of
the Pinkerton detectives who worked-up
the case, as is now asserted, it will not
tend to strengthen the cause of the c.,
B. & O. company in the popular estima-
ton. Public sentiment that is quick to
condemn such acts as were alleged
against the accused men, is as quick to
turn to the defense of the accused, once
it is demonstrated that they are victims
of persecution instead of subjects for
just prosecution.

Kansas is now the fourth state in the
union in the number of miles of railroad
in her limits. Illinois is first. Texas sec
ond. Iowa third. There is nearly thou
sand miles more of railroad in this state
than in either New York, Pennsylvania
or Ohio. She has more miles of road
than Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee
and Florida combined. Also more than
the aggregate of miles in the three states
Of Virginia, North Carolina and Arkan-

The report of two or three days ago
that the German emperor was endeavor
ing to SO enlist the sympathies of Russia
and Austria with the German cause that
is supplemented by the later report that
Bismarck is about to make formal pro-
posai to the powers-to France in partic
ular--for simultaneous general disarma
ment. This comes under the head of
important, if true. 1t is too radical de-
parture from the long established order

slant anxiety it would lift from the hearts
and shoulders of bayonet-ridden Europe.

White Swelling,

MT. M. s. Hamlin, one ofthe best known insurance men in North Carolina, writes from Winston, as follows: Ever since I was seven years of age have had what the doctors call hip disease, and which I call white swelling. My hip was drawn out of place. There was swelling at the knee-joint, where there is q profuse run ming, which has been there for years. Oi course this has greatly depleted my sys- tenn, together with surgical operation on the leg bone. 1 tried every known blood purifier to build up my system, but none did me good until took s. S. $. use it every spring. It always builds me up, enables me to stand the long, trying, enervating hot summer days. To me there is no such medicine for purifying the blood and building up the wasted system as s. s. s. On using it I soon became strong of body and easy of mind. My color changed from pale, worn look to healthy, robust complexion"
 Mr. c. N. Frizzel, of Farmersville, Texas, writes: "About August 1st, 1865, an eruption appeared on my arms and legs, which pained me much and seemed to effect my physical condition generally.

General Master Workman Pow
 derly has written a letter to the
 Knights of Labor throughout the
 country in regard to the hours of
 labor. He advises knights to dis | cuss the eight-hour plan dispas-
 sionately with their employers.
 He says that an immediate change
 can not be insisted on, but
 that a practical plan should be
 perfected. He says: The work
 ingmen and the common people
 generally are the rulers in our
 cities and towns, and they should
 at once begin to make thelr power
 felt in the matter of shortening
 the hours of labor of the employees
 of these cities and towns. The
 order need not be made a political
 machine to do this. Do not be
 deterred from making the attempt
 by having it said that you have no right as an order to mix in poli-
 ties. The order must not be drag ged into partisan politics, but mem
 bers should take an active part as
 citizens in the discharge of their duty at the polls and afterward,
 by voting for men who favor short ening the hours of labor of en-
 ployes in municipalities. Begin at once to perfect a practical plan of operations looking to the in- auguration of the eight-hour day. Pass no resolutions declaring that you will do it on such day; pass 10 resolutions of any kind; but work on the plan, and when the time comes put it in operation. It can be done without resolutions. Consult employers, get their views; arrange with them for meetings to perfect plans, and make an at tempt to bring about better feel ing between workingmen and en- ployers than has existed for some
 time back. It is true that many employers will not condescend to meet with or talk with their en- ployes. Purse-proud worms, who are to be classed among the 'ignor- ant rich,' will live to stand in their own and the community's light for ages to come, but the world does not move around them. The day IS coming in this land when the employer who has the man. hood, the patriotism and the sense to talk in a straightforward way to his employees will be entitled to and will receive more of honor and wealth than the selfish fellow upon whom fortune has showered ricnes and nothing else, except it | be an ill-nature. Our members should not miss an opportunity to

By reference to our columns to- day it will be seen that the chair man of the Democratic County Central committee has adopted the recommendations recently made by TIE CLARION regarding the method of selecting delegates to the terri torial convention. We believe the method to be wise one, saving, as 1t does, expense and trouble, and accomplishing the purpose in just as satisfactory q manner as by holding a county convention. The county central committee is com posed of good men and represen- tative Democrats, and they will undoubtedly see that Graham county is represented by delegates that will be a credit 10 the county and the party.
The Clifton clarion., 1888-04-18

We are pleased to see that sev- eral of our territorial exchanges are proposing as delegates to the St. Louis convention the names of Messrs. Foster and Stevens. Both are good men, and no better selec- ton could be made. Little Steve" as he is fainiliarly and affection ately called by his friends, is big man in Arizona politics, and it is where he is best known that he is the most popular, personally and politically. He is 9 man that is true to his friends and steadfast to his party. An old resident of the territory he has always been found an enthusiastic and willing work CT for the Democratic party, and no man has greater political in- fiuence in this the banner county of Democracy. George H. Stevens and Graham county deserve the compliment and will doubtless re- ceive it, in which event Arizona will have a delegate at the Nation al convention that will be worker and credit to our territory.

A rather peculiar case was de- cided in Fl Paso, tue particulars of which are furnished by an Asso- ciated Press dispatch, as follows: "A case pending in the Federal Court, now in session in this city, in which the United States was plaintiff and the Fl Paso Smelling Company defendant, was decided to-day by the bringing in of aver dict against the defendant. The smelting company had engaged some time ago a number of Mexi- can laborers somewhere in Chi huahua to come to Fl Paso and work on the smelter at Q Mexican dollar per day. Before the Mexi- cans arrived at Fl Paso, and while they were still in Mexico, the smelting company ascertained that there was United States statute forbidding the importation of labor under contract. They at once annulled the contract with the Mexicans and offered to pay their way to their homes. Sub sequently number of them came voluntarily to Fl Paso, and with out a contract accepted situations in the shelter. For this the com pany was brought into court, and despite an able defense and a large array of witnesses, the de- fendants were found guilty. The verdict was unexpected and has created much comment"

A correspondent of the Silver City Enterprise expresses some good horse sense when he says: You make nothing out of your claims by holding them for big prices and only drive away every prospect or chance to bring out a camp. It does not matter who makes the first sale or who has the best prospect. The point at issue is-sell your claims and get some money, put yourself in condition to go and prospect for another claim, and let some one who is more able than you go down on this claim you have sold. Claims as prospects will never become mines with p and 50 foot shafts upon them, and prospectors cannot put them down to 100, 150, 200 and 800 feet to see what is below. Certainly prospects do not grow any richer, though they grow older, and now the holder grows older and also poorer. Let go.'"
