The Best Man in the World

We'll, if not positively the best, one of the wisest is he who checks disease at the start in his own system. In pre- serving or restoring the heaven-grant- ed gift of health, he deserves profound consideration. His example is worthy to be initiated. The complaints which afflict us are largely attributable to a want to tone in the stomach, either in- herent or inflicted by ourselves upon that much abused repository of the food that should nourish us. What is its requirement in diversity? A whole some tonic. None so good, if we rely upon experience and testimony, as Hos letters Stomach Bitters. Unmedicated stimulants won't do. Regulation, as we'll as invigoration of the digestive wis cera, is not to be effected by these. Through the agency of the stOmachIc named, strength of the entire system is retrenched-dyspepsia and biliousness overcome. Malarial, kidney, bladder and rheumatic complaints are eradi- cated by this salutary reformer of ill health.

THE heat of a political campaign
 brings out great many political buz-
 cards and vultures. It is well to make a mental memorandum of the fact that newspapers CT individuals who are hawk ing thelr influence" about and en- deavoring to make an exchange of the article to candidates for little ready cash, have little influence to speak of. These people can't deliver the goods Candidates who are buttOn-holed by such parties will gain votes for them selves, and feel better Tn theIr own estimation by quietly, but with friendly feeling tell these political burros to go to. A news paper or person who has any influence in the county dol't have 70 label 1t SC, aor is it O: he obliged to peddle it out in sections to the highest bidder in the public highway. The newspaper which can be bought for one man can be pur- chased back on 8 raise" and the in
 dividual who sells his vote for a drink is liable to drink both ways, numerous times before the polls are declared open. Candidates who allow themselves to be brow beaten, or guZzled, or hOnled in- to the purchase of an unknown and very uns able quantity deserve to be defeated.

PRmCIPLE, not the man, is our object of contention. This is the underlying principle of all party organization. It is the magma charJa, the Declaration of Indepdence, in politics. The repub- lican who is constantly kicking over the traces is more to be feared than the democrat without the fold. When parties meet and nominate-provided it is in all respects fit nomination-there is an unwritten law that every man of that party is bound. to abide the decision of the majority. Mutiny should be punished as rigidly in parties as on the high seas:

MARK SMITH opened the democratic campaign at Tombstone the other night. The back counties have not yet been heard from, but such reports as have reached this office state that there was little good this side of paradise, which thus noble modern Roman did not claim. When it comes to giving himself credit we are told that the only Markiss does not trifie with false modesty. He evidently Is running on that good old democratic doctrine "Claim everything" In those elder Roman days where shorthand writing was tedious and rather painful operation, and when the monopoly or papyrus prevented d verbatim report Of the great efforts of pOlitics. aspirants, such claims might have established themselves tolerably well especially as the people were somewhas simple minded. But in these days of telegraph and telephone and our un -estrained press and congressional records, it is we'll to be little cautious about what is said. Per example. Mir Smith at Tombstone said:
 "In relation to the north and south railroad bill, I labored with the presi- dent three days and nights to get him to sign the bill, and then failed to land the Iish."
 We happened this morning 70 receive  by mail congressional pamphlet con- tainiRg a memorial submitted by MT. Platt concerning the North and South road. In it we find these words asscribed to the delegate from Arizona.
 'Gentlemen you can do what you please with the bill now. I shall never call it up, or attempt te pass it."
 The story which the Roman told the people of Tombstone and the one printed in the Congressional Record, don't dove tail. but we presume such little dis crepencies are liable to creep into the Record. Still those people who have been led to believe that Mark Smith intended to buy Arizona from tLe government, or have it confscated; fenced In with barbed wire, and presented to his con- stituents will doubtless ask questions and wonder why the printers of the Con- gressional Record should be SO careless. Friends and brethern put not your faith in this Kentucky statesmen. Believe him not for he is deceiving. He don't intend to do anything of the kind.

TIE election of a delegate to Congress involves many points vital to the inter ests of The territory. Prominent among them are Statehood, The Silver Cues tion, Land Grants, Mormon Question, matters pertaining to Pubic Lands, a North and South road, Appropriations for Surveys, Reservoirs and Public Buildings Each of these things, and all them have a strong bearing on the prospects of Arizona. The failure to secure the proper legislation on them or portion of them would be disastous to the territory. Mir. Smith in four years career as a delegate to Congress has done nothing toward a:1ing the ter
 ritory on any one of these important matters. With the assumption in hls favor that he has tired to do something what is the result? The people of Ari- Zona in sending Mark Smith to Congress have reaped missiles. They have vast ed their time. If Mir. Smith in four years cannot accomplish a single piece of favorable legislature for Arizona what can he do in two more?
 MT. Cheyney if elected would go Congress and be with a working majority of the house. His colleagues and conferees would be of the dominant party, abl4 and willing to listen to a del egate of their own household, probably with more interest than they would hear Mark Smith or any other democrat. No sensible man can fail to appreciate the advantages which a republican delegate will have in strongly republican con gress. We are dealing now with prac- tical politics. The vote of Arizona want to kaow two things First: which | party favors progress, the building up | Of the industries and statehood for Ari- | zona. Second: which party is most | capable, and in the best position to carry out its promises. The coming 1 election twill be conducted on three principles. The voters of the territory | or at least a considerable portion of | them, care condemnation about office. | They are after certain benefits and they will vote with the party which promises those benefits and at the same time gives a reasonable assurance that they can redeem their promise.

THE Lbuoueroue citizen says:

Many sensational, false and islander our dispatches are being sent from the territory to eastern newspapers regard ing the result of the recent election on the proposed state constitution. The at tempt is made to lay the whole blame on the Catholic church. This Is not just. In Valencia county 90 per cent of the whole population are Catholics, and that county gives the constitution the largest majority received in any portion of the territory.

A Story of MT. Astor.

The following story illustrating the Astor philosophy in money matters is told of the late John Jacob Astor by the man who was the other actor in the scene. T went to Mir. Astor," he said, with a business proposition which demanded an investment of S100, coo on his part. While listening to the plan he kept groping and feeling about on the floor for something he seemed to have dropped. When I had finished he said readily: All right; go on with the affair; I'll furnish the money At that instant a man en- tered to tell him that one of his build ings had just burned down.
 That happens nearly every day, he said. with the utmost unconcern, and went on feeling about with great care for that something on the carpet.
 T finally asked him what he had dropped.
 "'Why,' he said, raising his head and looking as woebegOne as a small boy, I dropped ten cents here a few moments ago and can't find 1t. If mans buildings burn dowp, they are gone ana he can't help it, and he Is bound to let them go. But man who deliberately throws away ten cents be- cause he won't take the trouble to find 1t is not to be forgiven. '"-New York Evening Sun.

A TRAVELLING mountain is found at the Cascades of the Columbia. It is a triple peaked mass of dark-bro yn ba- salt, six or eight miles in length where it fronts the river, and rises to a height of almost 2000 feet above the water. That it is in motion is the last thought which would be likely to suggest itself to the mind of any one passing it; yet it is well established fact that this entire mountain is moving slowly but steadily down the river, as if it had a deliberate purpose for some time in the future to dam the Columbia and form a great lake from the Cascades to The Dalles.
