Capt. Hogue and Col. J. Harry Mon- roe returned on Monday afternoon from a trip into New Mexico, where the Cap tain went for the purpose of running the line for some ranches. He reports that Louis Tuning, of Los Lunas, N. M., had sold thirteen thousand sheep, and while at the Cienega Amarillo, Mir. Huning's foreman received letter from him ask ing if he (the foreman) could roundup twenty thousand muttons. He gave as his reason for making such extensive sales, that he was afraid of the losses this winter. There was no grass on the range and water was scarcer than ever known before, and Mir. Tuning had de- termined on reducing his flock to ten or twelve thousand. We think some of our sheep men would make money by following his example.

The facilities of the present day for the production of everything that will con- duce to the material welfare and comfort of mankind are almost unlimited and when Syrup of Figs was first produced the world was enriched with the only perfect laxative known, as it is the only remedy which is truly pleasing and re- freshing to the taste and prompt and efectual to cleanse the system gently in the Spring time or, in fact, at any time and the better it is known the more pop u1ar 1t becomes.

This section of country has not had sufficient rain to lay the dust since the middle of April. The ranges are per fectly bare and tits now too late to make grass, even if it should rain, of which there is no indication. Our cattle and sheep raisers sustained heavy losses last winter, but unless we have a remarka
 bly, favorable winter, the losses last sea son were light m comparison to what they will be the coming season. We have been advising decrease and an improvement of herds and flocks for the past two years, and now it appears that nature intends making it whether or no.

A Mystery.

How the human system ever recovers from the bad effects of the nauseous medicines often literally poured into it for the suppostive relief of dyspepsia, constipation and rheumatism and other ailments, is a mystery. The mischief done by bad medicines is scarcely less than that caused by disease. If they who are weak, bilious, dyspeptic, con- stipated or rheumatic, would oftener be guided by the experience of invalids who have thoroughly tested Hostetter's Stomach Bltters, they would in every instance obtain the speediest aid deriv- able from rational medication. This medicine is searching and at the same time thoroughly safe remedy, derived from vegetable sources, and possessing, in consequence of its basis of pure spir- it's, properties as a medicinal stimulant not to be found in the fiery local bitters and stimulants often resorted to by the facilitated, dyspeptic and languid.

 was found by special grand Jury asked for by United States District Attorney
 Wilson, against Henry Tuning, Esq, will never come to trial. The Govern ment will never be ready, and if forced to trial, as they were in the bribery case, it will be dismissed. It is a sad com mentary on this great and glorious gov ernment that it's vast power, influence and money can be used by narrow and officials for the purpose of and prosecuting individuals against whom they may have personal enmitv and spite; or, that they can be used by designing and irresponsible par ties to wreak vengeance they have not the courage to seek in a more manly way, but must skulk behind some one clothed with the power and majesty of the law, and shove them to the front.

Their Platform.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March IS
she Sur deyotes is principal editorial
to-day to characteristic review OF
the platform recently adopted by the
Weber county Democrats. The edi-
torial commences in this fashion:
Here is some good. sound Democracy,
though it comes all the way from
Utah. The Democracy of Weber
county in that territory lately adopted
platform of which this is the essen
tial part"
The San then prints the platform in
full, and adds: THE sixth resolution
is one that the Democratic party has
needed badly IN recent years and may
need again. Belief in the cardinal
principles of Democracy makes man
"a Democrat. 70 make his belief on
temporary, accidental, or non-political
questions the test of his Democracy is
to put the essential before the
essential. In selecting candidate for
Office close consideration must be given
TO all his qualifications and diSqualifi
cations, but every man is Democrat
who subscribeS to the fundamental
articles of Democracy. In the last few
years there has been furious effort
on the part of the free traders to read
out of the party every protectionist
Democrat. 1t is a queer way of
strengthening party, to drive people
out of it because they will not worship
this hobby or that. The Weber county
plan is the better one. ''-Herald.
