THE Denver Repubulicbn strikes the correct chord here: New Mexico ap pears to have gone democratic. This may be expected in a territory wbere the people only a short a short time agc gave evidence of their lack of enterprise by refusing to adopt a constitution which woubld probably have opened the doors for the admission of that territor! into the Union as a state. People who think they are not capable of maintain ing a state government very properly cling to the Democratic party. The Democratic party is the proper political organization for men who do not believe in progression and who are opposed tc public schools.

A SQUARE DEAL.

The republican press of the country, and many leading democratic papers which are disposed to act fairly are just now agitating the propo- sition which the CITIZEN has mentioned more that once of late, that of congress exercising its constitutional powers of dividing the states into congressional districts So as to prevent such infamous outrages as the gerrymandering in Ohio. Indiana, Mississippi, and other states. The Philadelphia Press urges not only this Dsing done at the next congress, but goes further and says:
 But tn not all that congress should do. .'he cyn5titu1iCn, which gives 1t the power of apport Oning representatives, ! gives 1t also the power to designate the
 .stricts which elect the members of the i Federal House. "The times, places, the manner of holding elections for repre- sentatives" is ultimately vested in con- gress. Each state or its legislature may prescribe the "tImes. places and maner'' ! for electing the representatives appor- 1 toned to 1t, but the congress may at any tune, by law, make or alter such | regulations.
 This grant of p,wer is final, complete | and supreme. Congress may by law | limit. dIrecs or regulats in erery partic- | ulGr inc "lGiaS places and manner" ot | chO eiHg repres 5no..'iv5s adopted by the { states No one can question the power. | .Ihe u@ls.Itut'ca s- ts it DO limits, so far as the caoIce of .eprosentiyes is con 1 ceTngd.

Tricks of the Time Being.

Between the ''mutilat.d" nickels- with some of their metal removed, flat tened on one side and bulged out on the other, like bad vegetable can-and the Canadian sixpences, which are still put of on the unwary, to escape vexation one must keep a bright lookout on change" Street car conductors and even some ticket agents continue to put out this uncurrent money for dimes. It is net the loss of the few cents on each of these occasions which is vexatious; it is having the bad or uncurrent piece re- turned to you in style as though you were the original defaulter in the prem ises And if the everyday keenness of the ;nan or woman of the world Is so often caught with these horrid little pieces. how much more often must the ignorant or the elderly be victimized at the hands of such petty sharpers?
 To some people who have to lose five or a ten cent piece in this way it means the loss of a long car ride or of dinner. Wherefore, scrutinize your change" bit by bit. dirty as a good deal of it is, and the dirtier it is the more suspicious. Honest silver currency ought to get a bath now and then in private hands Some people do drop theirs occasionally i'll bowl of water in order that their portemonnaies and waistcoat pockets may be kept clean. Silver currency ought not to be as bad with handling as paper money gets, but the bulk of it in use now Is so dirty as to make us want to handle 1t only in wrappings of tissue paper, like London doctors fee.-Phil- adelDhia Ledger.

THE staple argument of free traders is that, by adopting a protective policy, the American nation Is sacrificing It's chance to "the markets of the world"
 Where are those markes, please tell us? Every country in Europe has a protective tariff. except England. Italy is thoroughly we'll satisfied with the effects of protection, adopted a few years ago; Russian manufacturers are said to be overjoyed by the prospects of the new tariff, virtually prohibitory, which that government is about to adopt, if not already adopted; almost without exception the British colonies in America, Africa and the antipodes have a prot ective bar against the free incress of foreign goods. South Ameri- a IS mortgaged to Europe in general, and Great Britain in particular; but what can be done in that direction the new tariff permits us to do.
 Where are those markets of the world we repeat? Please tell us about them, Messrs. Free Traders. Are they among the dwarfs of Central Africa or the con- verted cannibals of Tanga? And are they one-fiftieth as important as this great market of 63,0OO,0O0 consumers right here at our doors, which English manufacturers and American free trad CTS would like to wrest from us?

Coal Washing.

A coal washing plant has been erected at d colliery in Yorkshire, Eng. The plant has a capacity of 400 tons per day, but has dealt with 800 tons by the wet process. The system adopted is carefully sizing the smudge and automatically washing and rewashing after crushing the various sizes. The plant is driven by 100 horse power steam engine, and the water used in the process of washing is circulated by means of a powerful cen trifugal pump. which, when in full work. circulates nearly five tons ofwater per minute.
 The object in erecting this plant was to produce high class coke out of a mixture of very dirty hard and soft smudge The coke produced is of uni form quality, and the ash in the coke is steadily kept below per cent. Besides the preparation of the smudge for the coke ovens a quantity of small peat, suitable for fuel, is produced by the washer.-New York Commercial Adver- tiser.

IT is reported that one of the most gigantic mining schemes ever attempted in California is on the eve of a great sue cess. The Feather river, an impetuous mountain torrent has been defected from its bed by means of two dams and long tunnel, and its old bottom is now ready for the pick and cradle of the gold hunter. It was expected that this bottom would be found very rich in gold, but the first trials indicate that 1t is much richer even than supposed, and that the gains of the projectors of the enterprise will be many millions. Of late years the gold of California has been surpassed in importance by the agricult- ural products, but this goes to show that the state still contains large quan- titles of the precious metal, and the possibilities of its discovery in large quantities are not yet exhausted.

BUsINEss PROPOSITION.
4 City Lady Who Required Proof Before
 Believing.

There recently appeared in the San Francisco Gull, Chronicle, and Examiner, a proposition hitherto unheard of in similaS business rela- tions. It was nothing more nor less than an advertisement in which the Edwin ". Joy Company, in proof of the curative properties of Joy'sVegetable Sarcaparilla, offered fer limited period to submit it to the terrific test of "no cure no pay" Many accepted, and their letters giving their experience gre so convincing as to be almost beyond belief. Here is another. written under date January 6, lseo:-

It is about time that the handful of democrats who are moving heaven and earth-and hell, to oust the republican sheriff and treasurer, were made to re- alize that the republicans are not taking a siesta. If the h. of d. have not been aware of thIs fact, the CITIZEN takes this method of formally and officially notifing these gentleman that the scheme is fiimsy, superficial, limp and can't stand alone. In the language of the late Mir. McGinty, we're onto you, see?"
 Since the announcement of MT. Browns election as Sheriff of Pima county by the slight, but sufficient ma jority of one, there has been good deal of midnight ou wasted and a god deal of burrowing to extinguish sthat major iiy.

In this offyear of Our Lord eighteen hundredand and nine,the republicans are in no mood for any such acrobatic feats, and now you-see- it and -you-don't perfor- mances as is proposed by some wiley but .entremely subtle "politishuns" Tanquc Verde methods are not so easily introduced owing perhaps to the Mckinley bill.

WHAT CURES?
Editorial Difference of Opinion on an
 Important Subject.

What is the force that ousts disease and which is the most convenient appar- atus for applying it? How far IS the regular physician useful to us because we believe in him, and how far are his pills and powders and tonics only the material representatives of his personal influence on our health?
 The regular doctors cure; the homeo- pathic doctors cure; the Hahnemannites cure; and so do the faith cures and the mind cures, and the so-called Christian scientists, and the four-dollar-and-a-half andvertising itinerants, and the patent medicine men. They all hit, and they all miss, and the great difference-one great differance-in the result is that when the regular doctors lose a patient no one grumbles, and when the irregular doctors lose one the community stands on end and howls.-Rochester Union and Aduertiser.
 Nature cures, but nature can be aided, hindered or defeated in the curative pro- cess. And the Commercials contention is that it is the part of rational beings to seek and trust the advice of men of good character who have studied the human system and learned, as far as modern science lights the way, how far they can aid nature and how they can best avoid obstructing her.-Bu6aIo Commercial.
 It is not our purpose to consider the evils that result from employing the un- scrupulous, the ignorant, charlatans and quacks to prescribe for the maladies that afflict the human family. We simply declare that the physician who knows something is better than the physician that knows nothing, or very little indeed about the structure and the conditions of the human system. Of course "he does not know 1t all."-ROchestsr Morning Herald.

Merit Wins.

We desire to say to our citizens. that for years We have been selling Dr. Kings New Life Pills, Bucklen's Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never handled remedies that sell as we'll, or that have given such universal satisfac- tion. We do not hesitate to guarantee them every time, and stand ready to re- fund the purchase price, if satisfactory results do no not follow their use. These remedies have won their great popularity purely on their merits.

A TRAGEDY in real life has just been played in Fresno, California. The cur tam is down. One woman and a man are in eternity; another man begins "a life sentence at hard labor the result of a practical joke. Four months ago a party of boys and men, convinced Joseph Stillman, who was not sound of mind. that John D. Fisk, manager of the opera house had robbed him of millions of money. Stillman, under this hallucination killed Fisk, and was found guilty and condemned to hard labor the rest of hIs natural days. In the mean time his wife has died of broken heart His children are motheriess, and worse than fatherless. As the victim of a practical joke was taken from the court room, he broke out: II killed him be- cause he robbed me of millions and now they have robbed me of my wife, and my children, and my liberty till die If I could only ind an honest lawyer in the would l world make million and a half out of my patent non-con- ductor," and he broke down, weeping bitterly. The perpetrators of the joke will doubtless enjoy the outcome.
