A Dear and Cheap Division.

The republican attitude on the Nc
Kinley tariff is like that of a man in q
boat pulling on one oar and backing
the other.
On the one hand are President Har-
rison and Mr.. Mckinley, saying that
a cheap coat means cheap man. and
that cheap and nasty are synonymous
terms.' On the other hand are Mr..
CIarkson and the organic editors, say
ing that the talk of higher prices is q
Democratic campaign lie,' invented to
carry the elections.
According to the former cheapness
is bad, and the object of the new law
was to prevent it. According to the
latter dearness, real or imputed, brought
disaster to their party.
The purpose and the effect of the act
were to compel importers to charge
more for irgoods and to enable home
producers to do so. And yet the organic
editors insist that when this effect was
seen it was the result of q democratic
conspiracy.
Is the Mckinley Act, then. failure
from the point of view of its spromoters?
Ifit does not produce higher prices how
does it protecto fit does prevent
cheapness why deny a fact which the
people see and feel for themselves ev-
cry time they make purchase?
The promoters of higher taxes and
higher prices should try and get to-
gether. New York World.

WATER AND SALT.
A Physician's Hints as to the Proper
Use Of Each for Heath. :

oSC SA AZASA 1UE E1C8Gns
Salt is absolutely essential to the diet
of man, says physician In the Boston
Herald. 1t promotes health In various
ways. Many of the functions of the
body go on better under its influence,
and without it the blood becomes inn
poverished. While complete depri-
walton of salt would produce disastrous
results, an excessive use of it would
scarcely be less harmful. In large doses
1t acts as an emetic; in quantities be-
yond the requirements of health it ir-
ritates the stomach and intestines and
sometimes purges. Those who use salt
unusually freely almost always suffer
more or less from constipation.
To drink large quantities of water
daily should be the rule with those who
suffer from constipation. Each day the
system needs at least two quarts of
water, as about that quantity is used up
or thrown out of it every twenty four
hours. Fruits and vegetable foods con-
tain much water, and in tea, Loffee,
soups, etc., considerable is taken habit
ually. In all ways, as stated, about
two quarts of water should enter the
stomach daily. 1t is a good plan to
drink one or two glasses of water from
half to an hour before eating break fast.
And it may be either hot or cold as pre-
ferred. Whichever is used, the water
should be slowly slipped. To deluge the
stomach with cold water would be to
Snvite dyspeptic troubles.

A sTORYoF INGERsOLL.
He Forgot an Engagement and Said
So in So Many Words.

So in So Many Words.
Col. Robert G.. Ingersoll was invited
to dine with a party of literary and
scientific people In New York recently,
and he heartily accepted the invitation.
The dinner hour came, but not the col
onel. He was telephoned to and then
arrived nearly an hour late. II left
Washington this morning." was his ex-
planation, reached home very tired;
took rest; did some work; dressed for
dinner, and forgot all about your invi-
tation. t.'eg
AS I was seated at the head of my
own table I received your telephone
message and was dismayed at my negli-
gence. The party at my table kindly
volunteered to furnish me with accept
able excuses-that the train was late;
that had oversight myself; that was
unexpectedly detained by business, and
so on. But my daughter looked at me
and said: ''Do you think, papa, that
they are the sort of people that one can
tell lie to satisfactorily" Gentlemen,
| do not think so, and, therefore, I tell
you the exact truth and throw myself
upon your mercy-I forgot all about
this dinner" For his daughters sake
he was excused.-Chicago Evening

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-In the course of
lectures which was inaugurated last
year by Chauncy M. Depew under the
auspices of the Press club of Chicago,
the next address will probably be given

he would endeavor to arrange his af-

clubs invitation late in February or
early in March.

Have an Eye to Your Eyes.

How few think of the value of
good eyes, till they begin to fail?
How many have failing eyes and
don't know it, or if they know it,
are ashamed to make it known? OF
those who wear spectacles, how few
have them to fit, or suit their eyes!
And how few know that an imperfect
fit Injuries the eye? We have for
several years made specially of the
eye, its study and treatment, and
for twelve months have made a
specially of testing and fitting fine
glasses by the aid of the Johnston
Dioptric Eye Meters. We guaran-
tee fit, and perfect satisfaction, and
when this is done, with good pebbles,
the eye not only ceases to fail, or as
is said, Ego from you," but the
sight generally improves. To all
who wish to know if their glasses fit
their eyes, and to those who have
never worn glasses, and want to
know whether they need or would be
benefited by the use of glasses, we
offer a free examination. Specta

CLEvELAND'S ATTITUDE,

On our first page VIC publish
Cleveland's now celebrated letter
against the free coinage Of silver,
written by him last week. 1t created
big sensation all over the country,
as it was thought he would see the
good sense in keeping quiet while
Congress was passing upon this most
important question, more especially
as his party, the Democracy, is al
most unit in favor Of free coinage,
and was already laboring under many
disadvantages in the lower House.
But it seems he was unmindful of all
of this, and thus tres to tyranize
over his party.
Prominent Democratic leaders in
Congress and various State Legisla-
lures have denounced Cleveland S
course, and declare it kills him,
politically-that notwithstanding he
was the almost unanimous choice for
the party nominee for President next
year, this step removes him from
the race.
The Democratic party is cmphau-
cally in favor of the free coinage OF
silver, and the people OF the country
demand it, 50 we conclude Mr..
Cleveland will only be a high private
in political matters from now on.
Only one condition, we think, can
change the situation, and that is for
Congress to settle the silver question
by passing free coinage bill before
the National contest opens, in which
event Mr.. Cleveland might come in
again.
We regret Clcveland's attitude
against silver, and shall ever oppose
his leadership hereafter. Like
Blaine, he has written one letteI
too many.

VOL. XIV.

With this issue the PICAYUNE en-
tiers a new volume-NlN. AS we
said one year ago, other papers here
have suspended or moved away, but
not one issue of this has failed to
make its appearance, For thirteen
years it has made its weekly visits to
hundreds of homes. For nearly
half this period the present editor
and proprietor has been connected
with the paper. When we came
here in 1884, it used patent side
and subscription list was small. An
all home print was at once adopted,
and has been kept up ever since,
and. as we have been able, have kept
improving the paper, expending first
and last over So, 600 for printing ma
terial, besides buying and paying for
a home and Office. Have thus
given, in a large measure, our sub
scrlbers, the town and county, the
benefits of our time and labor, for 1t
takes money to make tirst-class
newspaper, and such paper is not
only worth the subscription price
asked for it, but is beneficial in many
WAYS to the territory adjacent to it.
Subscription list of the PIcAYrNE has
grown steadily--now has over 1900
sworn circulation.
From the first the paper earnestly
espoused the cause of Democracy
We have ever labored earnestly for
the principles of this party, believ-
ing that only in its success lie the
perpetuity of our free republic, and
we expect to continue to battle for
this party Of equal rights, which adj
vocates a low tariff and the free coin
age of silver.
Believing in progress and develop
ment, we have pushed the interests
of Prescott and Nevada county con-
stantly, making known our varied
advantages and resources. As both
town and county have made general
advancement, we trust our efforts III
this behalf have not been in vain.
Our future is brighter now than at
any time in the past. We shall con-
tinue to push every interest.
In the past, special attention has
been given to local county news,
which has, we trust, satisfied our
patrons. Will pursue the same
course in the future.
To all who have patronized us we
desire to return our sincere thanks.
With our large circulation we ought
to have a larger local advertising
patronage. Asking continuance OF
fayors, and an increased patronage,
we assure all that we will give value
received in every instance.

The Medical Profession.

The attitude of the medical pro-
fession toward what is known as
"patent medicines" is not at all I'M
reasonable Thousands OF these
nostrums are offered to the public
every year. Some of them are dan
gcrous, and most of them are futile.
Swift's Specific 6. S. s., we are
glad to say, is not classed among
these nOstrums. 1t has overcome
the wholesome prejudice of physi-
clans in all parts of the country, and
some OF the strongest testimonials in
its behalf come from medical men
who have used it in their practice
and who do not hesitate to indorse its
wonderful results. This is extreme
ly gratifying, but by no means as
tonishing, for every claim that is put
forward in behalf of $ ). ). is based
on a series Of actual experiments ex-
tended over a long period Of time,

We have seen map of the State,
with six Congressional districts
marked thereon, said to be reliably
Democratic several Of them are OF
the "shoe string order, but that is
not any serious objection. BY all
means we say let the six districts be
so arranged as to make them all
Democratic, and with party major
ity of 10000 in the State, we think
this can be easily accomplished. As
the adage goes, "all is fair in love

Republicans with their own fire, in
this matter.

FARMERS ALLIANCE.


trial Union and the Arkansas State
Farmers Alliance met in joint ses-
sion at Little Rock last Wednesday,
for the purpose of consolidation.
About two-thirds of the counties
in the State were represented.
The most important business was
the adoption of constitution, con-
solidation Of the two bodies and the
election of officers, all of which was
effected very tremendously. The
following are the most important Of
fcers elected: President, Paul T.
Davidson, of Clark county; Vice
President, Geo. w. Martin, Of indie
pendence county; Secretary, j. w.
Dollison, of Clay county; Treasurer,
w. +. DowelI, of Washington coun-
ty; State Lecturer, j. +. Bryan, OF
Washington county; Chm. Ex. Com,
f. c. Humphreys, Of Sebastian
county.
The most important changes in
the constitution are, increase of
dues to fifteen cents per quarter,
payable in advance (first quarter be-
ginning April |, lS9D; giving pow
er to organize a county Alliance, by
five subordinate bodies; authority
to organize Congressional district
Alliances, by three counties asking
therefor also provision for Senatori-
al Alliances; also statutory law pro-
yiding for impeachment and dismiss
al from office, and from the order
also statutory law making Secretary
committee of one to whom all cre-
dentlals shall be sent 10 days before
the time of the delegated meeting.
Among the resolutions passed
were the appropriation of the Arsen-
al Grounds by the General Govern
ment to the State, for reformatory
institution; also approving of the
law asolishing mortgages on growing
crops; also disproying of a memorial
to Congress to donate all govern
ment lands, in the State, to the
State, for school purposes.
A. j. Robbins and G.. w. l..
kanawah were appointed a special
committee on finance, by President
Morgan, to report on the Treasurer S
and Secretary's books at the August
meeting.
The best of harmony prevailed.
President l.. l.. Polk, Of the Nation
al body, was present, He spoke to
a crowded house on Thursday night
at the Capitol. Nearly all the Legis-
lature was present, also the Cover
nor and many prominent citizens of
Little Rock He proved himself
equal to the occasion and many
times his utterances were cheered
over and over again. The key note
of his address can be summed up in
these words: The farmer has come
to the conclusion that hereafter his
petitions shall be put in the ballot
box" He won the respect of all
who heard him. Everybody went
away happy and determined that Ar
kansas shall take her place in the
front rank in this grand effort to re-
store to every citizen his equal right
under our government and to be-
queath to posterity the same birth
right inherited by us-a government
of the classes in the interests of the

until plutocracy and monopoly shall
hide their deformed heads or be

Now let every farmer and laborer
in Nevada county buckle on the
armor; join the order, and keep up
with the procession, until victory
crowns our efforts and our people
