Diet OfOId People.

AS we increase in age-when we
have spent, say, our first half-centu-
ry-less energy and activity remain,
and less expenditure can be made:
less power to eliminate is possible
at fifty than at thirty, still less at
sixty and upward. Less nutriment,
therefore, says Sir Henry Thompson,
must be taken in proportion as age
advances, or rather as activity dI-
minishes, or the individual will suffer
If he continue to consume the same
abundant breakfast, substantial
lunches, and heavy dinners which at
the summit of his power he could
dispose of almost with impunity, he
Will in time certainly, either accumu-
late fat, or become acquainted with
govt or rheumatism, or show signs
of unhealthy deposit of some kind in
some part of the body-processes
which must inevitably poison, under
mine or shorten his remaining term
of life. He must reduce his "intake, "
because a small expenditure is an
enforced condition of eXistence.-N.

Manners.

I make it a point of morality never
to find fault with another for his
manners. They may be awkward or
graceful, blunt or polite, polished or
rustic, care not what they are, if
the man means we'll and acts from
honest intentions, without eccentri-
city Qualification. All men have not
the advantage of "good society,"" as
it is called, to school themselves in
all its fantastic rules and ceremonies;
and if there is any standard of man
ners, it is we'll founded on reason and
good sense, and not upon these arti-
fetal regulations. Manners, like con-
versatiOn, should be eXtempOraneOus
and not studied. | always suspect a
a man that meets me with the same
perpetual smile on his face, the same
bending of the body and the same
premeditated shake of the hand.
Give me the hearty-it may be rough
grip of the hand, the careless nod
of recognition, and, when occasion
requires, the homely but welcome
salutation, How are you, my old
friend. IN. Y. Ledger.

Though man must be sincere in
order to be great, he need not be
great in order to be sincere. What
ever may be the size of our brain, the
strength of our powers, the talents OF
any kind with which we are gifted,
sincerity of heart, or of belief, or OF
life is possible to us all. 1t is of it.
self a kind of greatness which, in
spite of many other draw backs, will
make itself telt. The honest, upright
man, who lives openly, fearlessly
and truly, protesting only what he
feels, upholding only what he be-
lieves in, pretending nothing, dis
gusing nothing, deceiving no one,
claims unconsciously a respect and
honor that we cannot give to any de-
gree OF power or ability welded with
duplicity or cunning. If we could
correctly divide the world into the
sincere and the insincere, we should
have a much truer estimate of real
worth than we generally obtain

A QUESTIONABLE DODGE.

1t has become so common OF late to
regale the public with such very in
teresting stories about one or another
"curious incident" which stories al
ways end in some humbug advertise
ment scheme, that one rarely ever
knows whether he can spenu time in
reading any newspaper statement
whatever. The unlicensed extent to
which such practices are being carried
would seem to call for law to sup
press the use of the public prints for
purposes of deception, for what bet
ter is it in morals to take mans
time under false pretences than to
take his money? Let everybody es-
chew all such lodges and patrOniz-

The Indian Situation.

The EPITAPH does not wish 10 assume lhe role of an alarmist, but il is only right 10 publish for the information of isolated ranchers and Prospecrors, that a small band of Indians from the reserva- tion has recently joined the renegades who have been raiding along the border for some time. Sheriff Slaughter, who is probably better posted on the Indian question in this part of the country than any one else, says that, with the recent addition spoken of, the number of rene gades now at large is at.least twenty five. So far, on this side of the lire. they have confined themselves to stealing, but there is no telling when they may com mence killing. We publish this for the benefit of settlers and miners along the line that they may be placed on their guard.

The individual who removed Mr. Al Richards will receive his reward in heaven, no doubt, as he seems likely to miss it here. Such methods of murder have little to commend them. Even those who do not go so far as to condemn murder, may dissent from the unusual and untraditional Gin the wesD style of his taking off It is to be hoped that our future murders will have more humane features; that our mild climate will mitigate the auster- ity of our murderers' tempers; that we who now hold our lives only by the precarious tenure Of their tolera- ton, may not be too summarily and rudely lifted to heaven and it's de- lights, for even extreme joy has it's drawbacks.

The resignation of Bismarck has set the world wondering what is to happen next. It is perfectly true that Bis marck has been a controlling factor for peace during the past twenty years but who is there that has studied European politics at all, who does not believe that if Bismarck had thought that the success of 1870 could again so easily follow the eagles of Germany, that he would not have once more at tempted to permanently cripple the hereditary enemy of his great empire any time during the past ten years. We have heard much of German mil itary efficiency of late years, and in the opinions of most competent critics the German military machine Is the best on the globe. But the French have not been iIle during the twenty years which have elapsed since their ignOminious defeat; they have been assiduOusly attempting t0-make their army the equal of their neighbors i; and that they have succeeded the logic of events is sufficient to prove.
 As Bismarck said in that great speech of his in the Reichstag. two years ago: "The French are brave people, and warli<e people. We overcame them by accident, and if we would retain the results of our victory we must be prudent" And the French are brave and warlike people. Be- sides, they have treasured up their hatrel of Germany until they have such storehOuse of it that every part of their land is overAowing with it. The talk of international disarmament is folly. Germany world be willing, but France never will do so until the disgrace of 1870 is retrieved, therefore Germany cannot Russia must and will have Constantinople and Austria is destined to dismemberment The opportunity of revenge for France may soon come however, for the young Emperor who has taken the rcins into his own hands and thrown away the sage counsels of the only man who can guide him through the present crisis; who thinks legislation a remedy for the disagreeable features of the present worldwide social pro- gress, and Is moreover a firm believer in his own personality, Is not likely to remain quiescent long. No doubt the world will soon hear the echoes of the shot that Is destined to reverberate around the world with inextinguish- able undulations.

Qualifications of Tnters.

Considerable discussion is going or
 in this city at present regarding tht
 qualifications of voters at the election
 few gentlemen propose to force or
 an unwilling community at an early day. The promoters of the movement for increasing water charges claim
 that only property holding taxpayers are qualified to vote. One genius quotes the school law as an example
 Why bless your soul, "McGinty," that has no bearing, on lhe case. In order to vote at school election a man or wo- man does not need even % be a citi- zen of the United States. "Mc.," you had better join your ;llustrious name sake and stay there. It is the opinion of many persons that any qualified elector is entitled to vote at the pro- posed election for disincorporation (should there be an election), and the law surely bears them out in their opinion. The law under which 1t is proposed to disincorpOrate the city, which was passed in 1887, prescribcs the qualifications of voters at such election as follows:
 "Sec. g. To entitle a person to vote on said question so submitted the fol- lowing qualifications must exist:
 First-He must be male citizen of the United States, or must have de- clared his intention to become such citizen, as provided by law, six months previous to the day of said election, and must have resided ill the territory for one year and in the corporation and county six months cOnsecutively next preceding the day Of said cleo ton. and be above the age Of twenty one years.
 Second-He must be a property holder and taxpayer in said corpora ton. No person shall vote at said election whose name does not appear on the assessment and tax roll for the corporation for the last preceding cor poration assessment and tax before said day of election, in addition to the qualifications above enumerated"
 At the last session of the legislature the election law was amended as fol- lows:
 "Sec. l. Every male citizen of the United States, and every male citizen of Mexico, who shall have elected to become citizen of the United States under the treaty of peace exchanged and ratified at Queretaro on the Both day of May, 184S, and the G9dsden treaty of 1854, of the age of .wenty- one years, who shall have been a re- sident of the Territory six months next preceding the election, and of the County or Prt cinct in which he claims his vote, ten days, and whose name is enrolled on the Great Register of such County, shall he entitled 10 vote at all elections which are now or may be hereafter authorized by ltw.
 Sec. 3. All Acts and parts of Acts in conflict with this Act are hereby re- pealed.".
 This clearly establishes the right Of any qualified elector to vote at the election, regardless of the fact whether or not he is taxpayer. Taking this into consideration, it would be avis able for the committee to stop agitat- ing, pocket their loss on advertising their misleading report and say no more about the matter.

The interest on the general and con- tingent fund indebtedness has not been calculated to a fraction of a cent and consequently only round figures are given, which are approximately correct. The present City Council has redeemed general fund warrants to the amount of $9I050 and paid $294.65 interest on general fund warrants Another thing which has evidently been overlooked is the fact that on November IT, 1888, when the present Council took possession, the taxes had just been paid in and the total amount entered on the books, whereas the taxes for this year, amounting to a least S4,000, will be in in about five mon hs and will make qui!e differ ence in ihe ciy's finances. Let our ci izens thoroughly inves igate and un- ders and this matter and they can then act in diligently.
