A Herald of The Infant Year.

Clip the last thirty years or more from the century, and the segment will represent the term of the unbounded popularity of Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters. The opening of the year 1894 will be signalized by the appearance of fresh Almanac of the Bitters, in which the uses, derivation and action of this world famous medicine will be lucidly Set forth. Everybody should read it. The calendar and astronomical calcula tions to be found in this brochure are always astonishingly accurate, and the statistics, illustrations, humor and other reading matter rich in interest and full of profit. The Hoststter Com pany, of Pittsburgh, Pa publish it themselves. They employ more than sixty hands in the mechanical work, and more than eleven months in the year are consumed iu it's preparation, It cen be obtained, without cost, of all druggists and country dealers, and is printed in English, German, French Welsh, Norwegian, Swedish, Holland, Bohemian and Spanish:

The San Francisco Chronicle, of the 9th inst. credits him with saying, when asked iuwhat cemetery his numerous victims were entombed, that he ''al- ways left them on top of the ground and let the coyotes eat them up" The San Francisco vigilance committee of 1851 passed a resolution denouncing him. When the killing of James King of William, by Casey, occurred, Me- Gowan was indicted as accessory be- fore the fact Casey was hanged and MeGowan went into hiding.

Tho latest information received from Hawaii is of a character that will not give comfort to the Administration at Washington, rhe Provisional Gov ernment has made vigorous prepara- tions to resist any attempt to restore the monarchy, without authority from the United States Congress. Two thousand men were equipped and ready to oppose foreign invasion, and orders were issued that no troops from any war ship in Honolulu harbor should be allowed to land without the consent of the Provisional Govern ment. The executive buildings have been strongly fortified and ammuni- tlon and stores provided to withstand months siege. In view of the de- termined front shown by the Provis- ional Government there is no lilSeli- hood that Minister Willis will attempt Co carry out his instructions.

CONTENTS ON THE sTNTsHoOD CON
 MENTION.

The statehood convention which met in Phmnix on November 27lh, was .i;mly attended. There was DO repre- sentatiou from the northern counties. There are many reasons given for the little interest taken in tho convention, and it is pretty evident thot the major ity of tho voters of Arizona are per fectly indifferent on the question of statehood Coconiuo Sun.
 It looks as if our State makers would havo an up hill row to hoe, in their eff forts to make Arizona State, so long as President Cleveland IS pledged to veto any measure of this kind passed by Congress, on the ground that he will allow no more sagobush States or U S. Senators to dictate to the Senate the policy that should be pursued. Evidently they will have to convert Grover to statehood before they succeed in making Arizona Q State - Yuma Sentinel
 When those Washington gentlemen read the summary of alleged facts, re- gently formulated by the statehood convention and come to that item of Ari- zona having SsO. 900, 900 taxable prop erty, and then turn to reports of the Governors, referred to as proof of the assertion and find that about S2S, 900, . 900 is listed for taxation, and then when they peruse these reports a little further and discover that the Territory is running behind some S95, GOO every year, they are liable to remark, What fool prevarlcators these Arizonans arel If they have Ss0, 900, 900 taxable prop erty, why in the name of statehood don't they assess enough of it to keep up current expenses, at least?n-Jour- nal Miner.

The SILVER BELT, although it is pub- ished in a rural district, a suburban town to Phmnix, is notwithstanding no less luminous in ideas than contempo- raneous, boastful journals published in "the capital city" nor does 1t claiIh the world as mine oyster z as do those city journals, whiehwbuld have other "fabef pushers' believe that their say ings are patented, private property, and not to be gainsayed, although their ideas, through the agency of printers ink, stalk over the Territory on crutch- es. Itis only q brief period since the BsIT's location, oue hundred and fifty miles from railroad was alleged as a reason for our ignorance of the adyan- tages which would arise by our Terri tory becoming State. The adyanta- ges, in our opinion, would be secured at too great a cost, which reminds us of trueism of Ben Franklin of the danger of paying too much for the whistle. {"
 Tint statehood is likely to benefit Arizona in her impoverished condition, by the addition of $40, 900 which nec- essarily would bs entailed by the change, is by taxpayers regarded as a jest by the convention recently in session in Phoenix, put forth by flip pant tongues, and clothed in specious language as they supposed would be swallowed with avidity, as sugsr-coated pills, by those who pay the piper. Those who take the buit will find that disappoinsBent trseksthe steps of hope, and Shat the spirit of the humbugged, ''like small beer in thunderstorm, always turns sour.

FAKE JouRNItisM.


 The intense rivalry among the "hg dailies" and thefy desperate efforts to scoop" each other in the matter of securing news, has led to the most dis reputable methods of journalism, in which the fake dispatch figures promj- nently. It isr 70 longer necessary that press dispatch shall be authenticated; in fact columns of rot are published with a knowledge of their falsity, which in reality is a recommendation when there is 6 paucity of news, if only suf- heiently racy or sensational, for they offer an excuse for the manufac- ture of other dispatches to contradict and disprove fl.em. The only preeau- tion deemed IieeeSsary upon the part of the publisher is to be sure that no private reputation or interest is ma hgned from which suit fer libel might arise.
 As aL SAcunC loI ihO obcCtut anu demoralizing publications which daily mar the columns of even the foremost journals, it is syerred that thoy are catering to the public demand and that the newspapers are reflex of public sentiment, no more or less virtuous than the people who read them, which may contain moisty of truth, but at the same time the newspapers are pub lie educators, ard CAT noG eyade the responsibility for the perverted appe- tites of the people, which they have created and stimulated.
 These comments are prompted by a dispatch from Spokane, Wash, where the reputable citizens, indignant over the sensational reports and falsehoods rehecting on their city and people, re- peatedly sent out over the wires, have combined to put stop to the abuse by prosecution in the courts of the manufacturers of fake dispatches.

A telegram from Washington to the Chicago Inter-Ocean raises the ques- tion: Was not Jas. II. Blount gailty of crime against the government as defined in chapter 3, of the penal stat utes, in the investigation of the Ha- waiian matter? It is alleged chat he not having been an officer known to the law, and not confirmed by the Senate to any diplomatic position, in his communications with the Hawaiian Government comes within the defni- ton and penalties of sec. 5335 Of the U. $. Statutes in the chapter of crimes against the existence of the Govern ment. That section is very explicit and appears to fit Mir. Blounts case exactly It provides penalty of not more than 5000 fine and imprison- ment of not less than six months or more than three years. It is said the matter will be brought to the attention of the Senate at an early day.

Theb best recommendation in Presi- dent Cleveland's message, which all patriotic Americans can indorse, is that fayoring National aid to the con. struction of the Nicaragua canal. The administration appears to be in earnest in this matter, as a recent Washington dispatch states thatSecretary Gresham is engaged on an exhaustive report upon Nicaragua affairs. The Maritime Canal Company of Nicaragua is in serious diffierAty and foreignersschem. ing to gain control of She canal, and President. Cleveland realizes the neces- sity of immediate and vigoroHs action to insure the United States control

A correspondent of the Mining & Scientific Press ayers that there is abundant capital seeking investment in mines but the number of desirable properties offered is scarce. The difn- oulty he thinks, is largely lack of re- liable information furnished in regard to mines which the owners desire to dispose of, and suggests the import. ance of advertising in reliable news papers as a means of bringing sellers and investors together This could be advantageously and economically done he thinks, by owners of good proper ties combining to secure space in the papers at more favorable rates than could be obtained by individuals. In this manner mines would be brought immediately to the attention of capi- talists, and q way opened up for nego- tiatioa with the owners direct without the intermedling of go-betweens and brokers.
