These lines Of Pinckney bring before the
mental vision woman of surprising beau
ty, challenging admiration and homage.
This sentimental tribute was, no doubt,
worthily bestowed by the poet, but it is q
prosaic fact that large numbers OF our fair
country women are deficient in personal
charms, because they do not try and con-
ouer the disorders peculiar to their sex, and
from which so many of them suffer mar
tyrdom. As it is the ambition OF every
woman to look her best, let the afflicted
ones use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
and thus recover their health, without
which there can be no beauty.

gitimate medicine, not beverage; carefully

But in the lands where this Divine Sur

were multiplied beyond every thing by
the particles of sand floating in the

lands it is estimated that twenty out OF
hundred people are totally blind.
Amid all that crowd of visionless peo-
pie, what work for an oculist! And do

AS TO THE FUNDING ACT.

The financial editor of the Florence Enterprise has been laboring and has brought forth-it is difficult to tell what The young man is very fresh, whoever he is, even though he aspires to Napo. leOnic proportions in financial matters, and his ignorance is very dense.
 He is to be pitied. He says:
 | Unfortunately for these Loan Commission. CTS, they have been somewhat premature in | their official action and their labors up to the present time are nugatory and void The Act of Congress approved January 9, 1890, ex- pressly states that 1t is subject to future Terri torial legislation and therefore until it is | sanctioned by the Legislative Assembly of Arizona 1t is not a law.
 We are really sorry for this bright financial light, and we would advise him to read the law before he presumes to criticise the acts of the Loan Commits sioners under it. If he will carefully read he will find that the words "SubJect 10 future Territorial Legislation" in the title of the law, refers to the method of redemption under Territorial enactment and other provisions as to tax levies which may be regulated by Territorial legislation and has no reference Whdterer to the kgaRty of the law uSeD nor connec- ton herewith. If the young man is bright, he will also discover that the law is mandatory as to the duties of the Loan Commissioners, and not discre- tionary. It has been stated that the banks of Arizona will oppose the fund.- ing measure, as it will interfere with the large profits which they now enjoy at the peoples expense.
 We are not advised as to the truth of this, but if true it is the strongest argu- ment that can be advanced in behalf of the law and the taxpayers. The time has gone by in Arizona for allowing, without protest, any further traffic in first class securities bearing the ex- orbitant rate of 10 per cent interest. The purpose of the Funding bill is well known to be the reduction of Territorial indebtedness and interest. There may be defects in the law, and if so, they will very soon be exposed by would-be investors and proper legal talent. But if some banker inspired the Enterprise article he has simply made the au- thor ridiculous.

DILLON and O'Brien's escape from the clutches of the English constabulary is viewed in two lights by those interested. In Ireland the sentiment seems to be wholly one of joy at the clever outwit- ting of the Sassenach; in England it is said that Parnell and many other leaders regard the flight as a mistake. It had been proposed to make political capital out of the spectacle of the pa- triots thrown into prison cells for advo- eating the liberty of their people. The Tipperary trials would have been most effective moral lever with which to move Parliament to leniency, even liberality, toward Ireland. But by defiance of the law the Irish leaders have brought upon themselves and their cause the displeas- ure of the conservative English and the screws will be more likely to be tight ened than relaxed.

A BEGINNING has been made hy the city council in the way of street pave ments, grading having been ordered for several blocks of street leading from the depot into the city. The material to be used, the decomposed granite from near Tempe, is an excellent paving material That this grading and macadamizing will be gradually extended until all the streets of the city are so improved there is no doubt. These improvements can be made by degrees and, without burdensome expense to the taxpayers, the city may be so changed as to excite the admiration of all visitors by the ex- cellence of her highways and public works.

IN the Territorial Fair exhibit at the City Hall are to be seen placed in com petition with the products of the Salt River Valley the oranges and lemons of Yuma. This is a gratifying indica- ton. The wealth of this Territory is not more pent up in her rock-ribbed hills than it is spread out in her fertile valleys, that need but the application of water to become veritible mines of wealth. The valleys of the Salt and Gila rivers will ere long be gardens of verdure, sending their wealth of fruit age throughout the land.

J. II. BEuAN's resignation of the nomination for the Territorial Council at the Democratic convention in Yuma county, must have been simply blind, though for what purpose it is hard to tell. In the telegraphic columns of THE REPUBLICAN this morning will be found a special dispatch stating that John has been nominated by the Central Com mittee for the position he so firmly de- clined in the convention. There is an appearance of something shady in the transaction which, no doubt, will be laid bare by our next letter from Yuma.
