Political,

All good men ought to unite their
Efforts to keep immoral men from
being nominated for Office. They
GU ght to demand that good moral
mea be nominated by all parties.
They ought to see to it and use
their influence to have no man
nominated for any Office whatever,
who drinks liquor habitually him
self or encourages others to do it;
that no libertine, or gambler, or
notoriously wicked man should be
advocated or nominated for Office.
1t is a disgrace for us as people who
claim to be a christian nation to put
a man on the bench, or in the
solicitors Office, or in Congress, or
in the Legislature, who is in the
habit of getting drunk, or who is Q
libertine, or a gambler, or a de-
baache of anykind. r. G. Advocate.

The farmers Alliance is exerting
itself to corner the cotton crop OF
the South. Circulars are being
sent to the membership in all of the
cotton producing States, urging
them to stand together and not
market the staple. 1t has been init
mated that the original object of
the alliance was to fight monopolies.
1t has evidently forgotten first
principles, however, and gives
promise of being first-class mo-
nopoly itself, inasmuch as it not
only seeks to control the financial,
but political market also.-Item.

Says New Mexican special of the 26th; At 10 o'clock this morning q Mexican who resides on ranch two miles northwest of HilTsboro, cane in and reported band of Indians near his house rounding up herd of ponies. Citizens to the number of thirty armed themselves and started Tn pursuit, but up to late hour no news has been received from them. At Hermosa, thirty miles north of here slgnal lights can be seen nightly in the mountains; in the day time the In dians make raids on the valley and kill cattle and drive off horses. Five cf the Indians were on foot. A troop of the 1lth United States Infantry will arrive here tonight from Fort Bayard, and troop of cavalry who have been m Chloride, where the two men were murdered on the 17tb, will arrive to- night or early tomorrow morning. when the two forces will consolidate and join in the pursuit All outdoor work away from town and at the min ing camps has been suspended.

Instructions to special agents, issued
 June l, 1883, by Land Commissions,
 Mcfarland, and approved by secretary
 of Interior Teller, authorize all citizens.
 bona fide residents of the States and Territories mentioned in the law of June Sd, 1878, to cut and remove tim Der on mineral lands, and specify that where the lands are situated in dis tricts of country that are mountainous, interspersed with gulchos and narrow valleys, and minerals are known to exist at different points therein, such lands, in the absence of proof to the contrary, will be held to be mineral in character.
 The feliing and removal of timber on such lands is authorized and permitted for building, agricultural, mining, or other domestic purposes, and nearly, if not quite, all such lands upon which timber grows, in Southern Arizona are of that character.
 The foregoing was written in view of the following which appeared in the Citlzan of September 30th: t'U. $. Marshal Paul has just returned from the south where he went to make the arrest of Daniel ". Ross. mill man at the Copper Queen mine for unlawfully cutting government timber. He was released on S10,000 bail A civil action will also be commenced against MT. Ross and tho Copper Queen Go. for s9l, ,000 damages. It is alleged that 'he parties concerned have cut 300, 900 'eet of timber, and the value is placed tt the aboye-named amount. ]"

A practical method of restriction is
 now to be enforced says the Minneap-
 olis Times. The Surgeon-General of
 the United States is to visit Europe
 under Government instructions, and appoint at every port whence emi- grants set out for this country a cspa-
 ble medical examiner, who will be ull- der the orders of the United States consul. These two officials will exam inc every emigrant to ascertain wheth CT he or she is fit person to be re- celyed into the United States; whether the physicial or mental condition of the emigrant would cause him or her to become burden upon American taxpayers, and whether the person is afflicted with contagious disease. By these simple and reasonable pre- cautions an evil can be prevented which has not hitherto been effectually checked at the port of debarkation. Poverty will not be bar to emigra- tion. The majority of Americans are poor. The honest brain and sturdy muscle that built up the industries of the United States came poor to its shores. Every healthful and honest man or woman is welcome here. wbeth- er they have shilling or not,

ysmsER AND MISss.

Senator Sanders, during le concid- tr'tion of the house bill to repeal the timber-culture laws offered an amend. rnent providing that in the gold and silver mining regions of the State of Nevada and those States and Terri tories ill which there are pnldic lands containing timber, and where there is no United States lew htuthorizihg the sale of such timber lands, residents of such States or Territories, if prose cuted for cutting timber, may plead that it was cut for agricultural or min ing purposes. After some modification this wars agreed to.
 1t is to be hoped that some snch step as this will be taken and become the flaw. The miners need the timber to carry on their work, for with them. it is absolutely indispensable. A year or two ago, lot of men were arrested for cutting timber oh public lands, when they were using said timber in develop ing tho mineral resources of the region. 1 and the timber was of no use for any. thing else. - Mining and Scientific Press.

The concentration of ores in Arizona where water Is scarce will be a future study of practical mining men. The first plant of this description is now being put up on the north side of the Dos Cabezas mountains, and if it does what is claimed for it revolution in the methods of concentration will take place. A month longer will determine the success of this dry processs treat ment, which will be watched with in teres, by all mine owners in this section of the country. Tombstone Prospec- tor.

C. M. Bruce relates, to the Tomb stone Prospector, what was said by President Harrison and Senator Ed munds in regard to the settlement of land grant titles. Bruce is one of A party claiming the Babaeomari grant and interested in the establishment of a land court. He said Harrison talked freely upon the subject, but there was nothing suggestive in his remarks. It. however, was otherwise with Edmunds. who expressed himself in opposition to Arizona being included in any law re- latlng to that subject He said that the grant titles in Arizona were not unset tied, but that if the people or holders of grant titles were not convinced of this fact that the courts of the Territo- " were open to itigants. As far as Arlzona was concerned she would not be included in the provisions of the bill now before the Senate looking toward the settlement of doubtful grant titles. Any lawyer" said he ''who has a grain of sense knows that the local courts are the only places to settle any disputes that may arise"

Repubhciars ci Gila County greatl,
 regret that the Gazette, the "only
 Democratic paper published in Mari
 copa County, is not pleased with the
 blanks in their platform ropudiatinp
 statehood, and unfayorably compar-
 ing the administration of Zulick with
 that of Wolfey. But nevertheless,
 the convention in those expressions reiterated the sentiments of the elect ors of both the Republican and Dem ocratic parties, and could not have done otherwise withou. censure from those who entrusted them as exponents ot their views on those questions, for which they have received the condem. nation of the Gazette.
 In view of the fact that upon two occasions Democratic Territorial con yentions refused to indorse Zulick's gubanatorial administration. the Re- publican convention is not so greatly to blame for its structures in relation to Zulick's executive management.
 The question, with the convention In relation to statehood resolved itself into question of dollars and dimes. The convention was composed of tax. payers who felt unwilling that they and their constituents should be fur ther taxed for no practical benefit. It | IS somewhat strange that the Gazette !, omitted 'to go for the Democrats of | Glla county, who had previously repu- diated the statehood movement which the Gazette, upon all occasions en- deayors to fasten upon the tax payers of Arizona.
 When Gila county changes it's views ln regard to the respective merits and iemerits of the Wolfey and Zulick administrations, and concludes that statehood better befits our impoverish sd condition, the respective parties Slll, doubtless, aequaint the editor 'f the Gazette of the fact, and until hen, II IS to be hoped he will possess lls soul in peace.

THE LAW AGAINST LOTTERIES.

The federal anii-lottery law, which
 took effect September 18th, prohibits
 the mailing of newspapers containine
 lottery advertisements. The law is
 sweeping in it's effect. cuts off mail
 facilities to lottery companies and ren.
 ders all persons, violating the law.
 amenable to indictment Express com
 panies are also interdicted from afford-
 ing facilities to lottery companies.
 A question was raised by n represent
 tative of the Louisiana Lottery Compa-
 ny as to his liability in receiving the
 usual lottery mail from the office. H
 was found, however, that the law re.
 spects the sanctity of the mail and does
 not permit a seal to bo broken. There fore, ordinary letters can be sent as
 usual through the mails, but the law
 provides that if evidence is obtained showing that a letter containing lottery matter was sent through the mails, then both the sender and receiver osn be held liable at the place of mailing or at the place of destination. Registered letters will not, under the new law. be delivered to lottery company or its agents, and money orders will not be pald. The act applies to postal cards or circulars concerning gift enterprises, dependent upon lot or chance, tor con cerninS schemes devised for the purpose of obtaining money or property under false pretenses) and ne list of the draw lngs at any lottery, or similar scheme. and no lottery ticket or part thereof. and no check, draft, bill, money. postal note for the purchase of any ticket, tickets, or parts thereof, and of any share or chance in any such lottery or gilt enterprise, shall be carried in the mail or delivered at or through any post office, or by any letter carrier.
 The law also makes it misdemeanor for any individual who knowingly de- , poslts, or caused to be deposited in any post office, mail matter in violation of law; he subjects himself to fine of hot more than $500 or imprisonment of . not more than one year, or both such !, fine and Imprisonment for each olfense. f The law also provides, that for the pur- | pose of eyading the lottery act any person who shall remit checks or postal :, money to any other other person, bank :, pr firm for the purpose of investing in T lottery or prize tickets, renders all ', persons named in such communication : ' subject to indictment. :,

There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it local disease, and prescribed local rem edles, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it in. curable. Science has proven catarrh to be constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by. F. J.
