There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incura-
BILE. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incureable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful.
1t acts directly of the blood and mu-
cous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case
1t fails TO cure. Send for circulars

The farmers of Mississippi county,
so Bro. Leon Roussan of the Osceola
Times tells us, turned their attention
to Irish potato growing this year.
They found a ready market for them
at prices which netted more than
double what the same acreage in
cotton would have done. If the
Mississippi county farmer, depending
solely on steamboats, as a means Of
transportation, can succeed in grow
ing potatoes, what can be done by
Monroe county farmers with their
splendid railroad and steamboat ship
ping facilities, which place them
within a few hours of market.

A correspondent of the Mining and Scientific Press suggests that an effort be made to have the provision of the mining laws, requiring an annual ex- psnditure of S1O0 worth of work on mining claims suspended fer the pres ORt; in view of the demoralized eondi- tion of the silver and lead mining in dustry. If men of prominence in the mining industry would make m effort in this direction, says tho Press, they would be benefited themselves, and the smaller mine owners would be grateful for their help It is not only the mere actual outlay of the mine itself, but the cost of the of the assessment work Is greatly added to in many cases by the distance from the railroad UAder present conditions there is no earthly use doing anything on these mining claims, yet the work has to be done else the claim and all expenditure OF it up to date is lost. It must be con- fessed it is very difficult to make Con. gress pay much attention to the mining laws, or force upon it knowledge of any evils which may exist ia them; yet, if united effqrt be made under the present circumstances, there may be some hope of accomplishing this.

A notable event of last week was the departure of Lieut. Peafy OH his sec ond Arctic expedition Tho whaling bark Falcon will take the party to Bowdoin Bay, in MurchisoR Sound, a little east of Lieut. Peary's camp in the winter of 1S9l-2, where they will build their main station and winter quarters. Mrs Psary again accompanies her hus- band, sharing with him the love of ad- venture and uReoReern for the rigors of an Arctic winter. The expedition is well equipped for long absence in the frozen north. The outfit comprises six Esquimo dogs which dragged Peary's supplies during his former OK peditiop, and eight burrss from New Mexico, which are to be tried as an experiment There is also cote of carrier pigeons, fur clothing, fur sleep ing bags, sledgss, rifles, guns and all sorts of Arctic paraphernalia. Frem Bowdoin Bay the long slsdgo journey toward the pole will commence. The aspirations are expected to extend over period of two years and at the expira- ton of that time the Falcon will again sail to Bowdoin Bay to fetch tho party home.

It is proposed to hold a midwinter fair in San Francisco, made up of ex- hibits from the Columbian Exposition, and of the $500, 900 required to insure It's success, S3SO, ,OO0 has been sub scribed While ib was regarded as meritorious enterprise before the crisis in silver was preoipitated by the action of the Indian Council, it would now seem an ill advised undertaking, in view of the severe prostration in al most every industry on the coast which the heavy depreciation of silver is causing. Would it not be far better for San Francisco and the entire State of California to apply the money so liberally subscribed for the midwinter fair to furthering the cause of the free coinage Of silver? 1t will require con certed action and the combined re- sources of the Western States to suc- cessfully resist the determined efforts of the nonometallists to complete the debasement of silver. Unless the sil- yer industry of the Western States is rehabilitated the loss of trade to Cali fornia will be irreparable It is hoped that the gravity of the situation is realized by the people of that State, and that they will give their valuable aid to its reform, to the exclusion of matters of minor importance

According to the latest dispatches tho Mexican Secretary of the Treasury has announced that thero is no probability that the country wifi suspend the freo coinage of silver. On the contrary, all of the Mexican hints will continue to work to their full capacity, and that of the chief miat in the City of Mexico will shorsy be increased from S14, OO0, 900 to S1S,O0O, 900 a month by new machinery which is now boing put in. The Secretary claims that there is a scarcity of circulating medium in the country due mainly to the heavy ex- port of Mexican dollars to Asia, where there has been for many years a steady market for Mexican silver. It is claimed also that the heavy fall in price will not be as injurious in Mexico as in the Uaited States, owing to the low cost of production of many of the Mexican mines.

A Washington, D. C., dispatch of July 9th, to the Globe-Democrat says |; It is understood that the New York delegation will be found following the lead of Senator Hill, who is a pro- nounced bimetallist, and who of late seems to have lost interest in political manipulation, while he has in its place become almost fascinated with his study of financial problems. He Is understood to be preparing 8 speech, which he win deliver at the earliest opportunity in the Senate, in which the ideas briefly set forth in his letter to the Tammany braves will be exhaus- lively treated so far as 1t is in his capa- city to do it, It was a significant fact that the only sentiment which Bourke Cochran aPplauded was that contained in Senator Hills letter, and it is known here there is a substantial agreement between these two Demo crats respecting the financial policy and the way to secure it. Senator Hill believes that the Sherman law, so far as the purchase of bullion is con cerned, should be instantly suspended or repealed. Hill has declared over and over again in private recently that only an enemy of silver would insist upon the maintenance of that law Hill insists that gold and silver must hereafter be the coin of this country, and has come to the opinion that we must secure bimettallism by interna- tional agreement as 10 the ratio be- tween the silver and gold,

The charge, publicly made by Col. James II. Platt, that the bill demon etizing silver, in 1878, was smuggled through Congress without debate, or the knowledge of either house, stirred up John sherman, who attempts Co deny that there was any ''skulldug- gerry" employed in securing the pas sNge of that infamous law through Congress. Mir, Platt replies,
 "There is no issue of veraeity be- tween Mir. sherman and myself, it is entirely between Mir. sherman and the Congressional Record. He will not deny that the eleven words which took away from silver it's mintiug privilege were added to the bin by the confer ence committee or claim that the repeal of free-coinage which these words caused, had ever been suggested or discussed in either house of the Forty second Congress, or referred to his committee.
 Neither will he claim that in pre- seRting the report to the Senate, after those words had beon added by the conference committee, he or any one else called attention to Che addition, or that Mir. Cooper, of Massachusetts, in presenting the report to the House, d. ludsd in any way to this most impor- tant amendment, although of far more importance than all the rest of the bill.
 ''If Mir. sherman would kindly ex- plaiR how the conference committee were induced to insert these words, or by whom they were suggested, md why having added an amendment of such momentous importance, he did not call the attention of tho Senate to it, the country would be deeply gratifed and it would have much mere effect than calling names. did not charge Mir. Sherman with having taken adyan- tage of his knowledge for speculative purposes. l did say that the few men who knew that the minting privilege had been taken from silver had a great opportunity for speculation, but l did not charge that they took advantage of it.
 "The Congressional Record Is on file at every public library; anyone who cares to know the truth of this matter has only to take the record and follow the bill through from the first intro duction to it's final passage In this way the absolute accuracy of my state ment in the latter to the Journal of July Sd can be easily aseertained.

ARIxeNAs EXHIBIT kT TME wSRaBs FAIR. HOW Has THE s3o,000 AP-
 rROPRE6TED REEN EXTENDED.

Tho 1Sibune would again inquire what has become of that appropriation of S80, 900, which WAS set aside by tie Sixteenth Legislature for tho purpose of making m exhibit at thc Worlds Fair9 According to the accounts of citizens of Arizona who have visited the Fair, the only exhibits our Territory has there are those which have been furnished by private parties, such as the Copper Queen Company, the com panies at Clifton, the parties owning the petrIfied wood of Apache county, and others, This being the ease, where and how has that $30,000 been ex- pended? Arizona is in partnership with two other Territories ia small building, but that was to cost only S2, 800 In that building the only ex- hibits made are picture of General Crock, an Indian fighter, and sems Navajo blankets, giving the impression thai this is only an Indian country Judging from appearances, the appro- priation of $50, 900 has been shameful ly missmanaged and ff1ttered away, to say the least. + Florence Tribune
 It has been repeatedly stated, orally and in print, by Arizonans who visited the Exposition, that the only attraction to visitors in Arizona's exhibit is tho mineral display, and had it not been for private enterprise her boasted ca- pabilities would have made no impress sion on the beholder further than that the Territory was not producer of precious metals that the dethroning of silver was a matter which did not concern her, and that the exhibit con frmed the belief that her claim to being silver producer is simply yagrant fancy.
 If Arizona's exhibit of silver at the Worlds Exposition is accepted as an index of the Terrltorys wealth in that metal, then the alyer-rlbbed mountains as represented by Mark Smith, in a Congressional speech, as existing in this Territory, will be regarded as myth, not fact, and suggestive of why it was that the gentle Nazareue was betrayed to his death, for so small pittance ss thirty pieces of silver. The paucity of our exhibits of silver naturally suggests that it is scarce product in Arizona and its absence might perhaps be attributed to the nat urd chemistry of the earth in trans muting silver into copper, tie brilliant display of which warrants the belief that Arizoua possesses the major part It Is the redeemiBg feature of our metalline exhibit.
 The Tribnnes inquiry, 'What has become of the appropriation of $30, GOO by the Sixteenth Legislature, is question that the SmyER BELT is una ble to answer, further than that, in its distribution to the several counties, Gila was the recipient of $500, and Maricopa S1, 100 for the purpose of astonishing the world in regard to the surpassing wealth of Arizona. Gila after taking microscopic view of her share of the Territorial appropriation concluded that $500 didn't count, and had it moi been for the hbaraity of the Old DomiRion Copper Company and earnest endeayor of A.

A test case for violation of tho cattie inspection law is on trial in Justice Scott's court in Tucson. Additional interest attaches to the case from the fact that Judge Lowell, attorney for the defense, is credited as being the origi- nator of She law, and one of the chief grounds of demurrer is that the act of tho legislative assembly upon which the complaint is founded is that it is special legislation, contrary to the Harrison act and, therefore, void.
