Grand Canon Of Colorado River.

On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1862 miles from Kansas City, is
the town of Flagstaff. A tri-weekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
a mile in depth, this is the sublimest of
gorges-- Titan of chasms. Twenty
Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than brook.
Don't fail to visit this first wonder OF
the world. You can tread up" about it by
asking G. 7. Nicholson, G. P. q I. A., A
7. g. S. F. R. R. Co., Topeka, Kas., to mail
you free copy of an illustrated book
describing this terra incognita. The book
is no common affair; but is entertainingly
written, beautifully illustrated and gem

In A BAD WAY.
It's gone.

The Democracy is in a bad boat over
the silver question, look at it any way
you will. They are going to vote for re-
peal, of course, because Mr.. Cleveland
has so dictated, but the lusty bowls they
started in to make yesterday in explana-
ton of their vote shows how they feel
about it, and voices the feeling also of
their constituents. 1t is clear case of

damned if Won don't"

OWING to the weak and vaccilating policy
of the Cleveland administration, the Popu-
lists are to-day making inroads into the
western states which the Democracy have
all along been struggling to hold down
politically in hopes of eventually winning
them over to their cause and as for the
south, why, it would req uire theseventh son

Statehood for New Mexico.

Statehood New Mexico wants and state
hood it must have! The resources of
this territory are more than sufficient to
admit it into the Union as state and
why Is it kept OUT 1t has been kept out
in the past by the Republicans because
it has always given large Democratic
majority. Now that the Democrats have
full charge will they admit us or will they
not? Loyal Democrats, show your true
color and admit New Mexico to statehood
and add more force to your ranks.-Eddy

Senator Allison is the wisest and
strongest of all the Senators. The sena-
tors of both parties concede that and
give him that rank. His speech opening
the campaign at Mount Vernon Monday
night illustrates his qualities. He is not
brilliant nor aggressive, but wisely de-
Lucrative and honest and thorough. He
knows the facts and reasons of public

New Mexico Large Enough.

Statehood talk has evolved the propo-
sition to consolidate the territories of
New Mexico and Arizona and admit them
as one state. While this would not make
a state as large as Texas, it would be en-
tirely too large for convenience. New
Mexico, as it is, will make large state,
and it is replete with resources within its
present boundaries to support state
