Racing With Wolves

Many a thrilling tale has been told by
travellers of a race with wolves across
the frozen steppes of Russia. Sometimes
only the picked pones Of the hopeless
Traveller are found to tell the tale. In
our own country thousands are engaged
10 a liGe-a and death race against the wolf
Consumption. The best weapon with
which to fight the foe, is DR. Pierce's Gol-
den Medical Discovery. This renow ned
remedy has cured myriads of cases when
all other mediclens and doctors had tailed.
1t is the greatest blood.purifed and re-
storer Of strength known to the world.
For all forms of scrofuIous affections
land consumption is one of them, it is I'm
equaled as remedy.

Finish What You Begin.

From the Cumberland Presbyterian.
 My old great-grandmother had way of making her children finish their work. If they began thing they must complete it. If they undertook to build cob house they must not leave it till it was done, and nothing of the work or play to which they set their hands would she allow them to abandon in complete. sometimes wish l had been trained this way. How much of life is wasted in unfinished work. Many a man uses up his time in splendid be- ginnings. The labor devoted to com nience ten things and leave them useless would finish five of them and make them proftab and useful. Finish your work. Life is brief time is short. Stop beginning forty things and go back and finish four.

FRESNO COUNTY, California, occupying an area little less than Maricopa County, in 1890 received $l2,0OO, 900 in American coin for the products of her soil. Fresno raisin vineyards are now famous throughout the world, and yet less than twenty years ago the entire county was considered barren waste desert if you please, and the first set. tiers were called crazy. Her soil and climate are almost identical with those of Southern Arizona. What has brought about all this change one may ask. Simply irrigation and hard work. In. stead of large ranches most of the hold. ings are in ten, twenty and forty-acre tracts. Her farmers are industrious and spend minimum of time in town and the maximum on the ranches Their principal product is raisins, which require great deal of care and atten- ton. Other fruits are now being culti. vated extensively and these small farm. CTS are fast growing rich. What ar enormous sum that is to pour into one county. Twelve millions of dollars from the products of the soil alone. Land owners of Southern Arizona need only to devote the same work and careful attention to their lands to do even better than this by 1900. Think you not it i: worth striving for?

AN uNJusr SUSPENSION.

The first dispatches relative to the suspension of Colonel Forsythe, of the Seventh Cavalry, led the average reader to believe that it was the result of sent- mentalism in the East. The corresponds ence of Generals Schofield and Miles, made public yesterday, show that this was not the case. His suspension was due entirely to that parlor soldier, Nell son A. Miles. 1t is notorious fact that General Miles has the presidential bee in his bonnet, and he proposes to leave no stone unturned to keep it hum- ming lively tune. Succeeding that able soldier and Indian fighter, George B. Crook, in Arizona, Miles took ad- vantage of the chase after Geronimo to try to gain for himself reknown equal to that of hin predecessor. While Lieutenant Lavrton and other brave officers were chasing that willy chieftain through the mountain fastnesses of southern Arizona and Northern Mexico, Nelson A. Miles was attending parties and receptions in Tucson. But when at last the red men were corraled Miles was very quick to rush to the front and claim all the honor and glory as tue commanding officer.
 It would appear he means to try the same course now. All the country is watching the campaign in the North west, and that presidential boom must be set booming by one grand coap d'etat. Colonel Forsythe had won brilliant victory out of the very jaws of what promised to be massacre. His name resounded throughout the land. How easy to cast a cloud upon him and attract attention to the superior gem eralship" of Nelson A. Miles. The cor respondence with General Scho- field intimates that Forsythe had made terrible blunder in the disposition of his men, placing them in such position that when they began fir ing they killed their own comrades. This is hardly borne out by the facts. With the reds fully armed and prepared for this treachery but thirty of the troopers were killed, while latest re- ports show that not less than POO of the hostiles were made to bite the dust.
 Every man who ever served under Sandy" Forsythe knows him to be as brave, fearless and able soldier as ever smeiled gunpowder. There is none of the "playing for the applause of the gallerys" with him. He is the typical frontier soldier, cool, self-possessed and fighter. His troopers love him for his many noble qualities, and next to Custer no man ever commanded the crack Seventh Regiment better fitted to lead the brave men who compose it. The people of the Great West will not be fooled by Miles campaign in palace car, and there will go up such an outburst of just indigna- tion at this suspension of one of the best officers in the army that his little Presi- dential boom will die a-bornin'.

A MATTER that should receive the careful consideration of the coming Legislature is the semi-annual collec- ton of taxes. The locking up in the treasury vaults of three quarters of a million of dollars in December, to be paid out in small amounts in the next twelve months works great hardship upon the people. In Ohio, Iowa and some other states taxes are collected semi-annually, and this method has been found to be great improvement over the old method of annual collec. tions. The subject is one deserving at tention.

WHEN James G. Blaine was on the floor of Congress twenty-five years ago he proved himself a master in debate and few there were who ever cared to cross swords with him. In the cam paign of 1888 this great power of his again showed forth more brilliantly than ever. When Mills and others at- tempted to parry his tremendous thrusts in favor of protection, he instantly ex- posed their guard and sent home his keen shafts of argument. In the former correspondence with Lord Salisbury over Behring Sea, the British minister was badly worsted and his later cores pondence, the text of which was given in yesterdays REPUBLIC AN, shows him to be but a mere child in statecraft as compared to Blaine. The brainy Secre- tary takes the action of England herself in numerous instances as precedent for the claims of the United States in the Behring Sea. Great Britain had no compulsion in forbidding ships from lowering nearer than eight leagues to the island of St. Helena when Napoleon was confined there. He agrees to limit of twenty leagues from the seal islands, beyond which vessels shall not proceed, and this is a much less distance than England claims juris- diction over, on some of the waters of the world bordering her colonies. At every turn MT. Blaine shows the shrewdness and skill of the trained diplomat while Salisbury's utterances are more in the nature of petted school boy who says, "Unless can have my way won't play" This correspondence will but show forth more brilliantly than ever the transcendent genius and statesman ship of Americas greatest living man. It not only strengthens him at home
 but abroad, and will force still greater admiration from the nations of Europe for his matchless skill in diplomacy.
