The usual treatment of catarrh is
very unsatisfactory, as thousands
can testify. Proper local treatment
is positively necessary to success,
but many, if not most. of the rem
edies in general use afford but tenn
porary relief. A cure certainly can
not be expected from snnffs, pow
ders, douches and washes. Ely's
Cream Balm. which is so highly
commended, is remedy which COM
bines the important requisites OF
quick action, specific curative power
with perfect safety and pleasantness
to the patient. The druggists all
sell it.

The Langtry's, Brown-Potter's, Sulliyan's and Corbett's now treading the boards will not be molested; but new dramat- ic stars entering the profession through unsayory notoriety will find it impossible to employ support.

Republican Territorial Platform.

Republican Territorial Platform.
 The republican party of Arizona re- affirms its belief in and adherance to the principles of the republican party under which the entire country pros pered and advance in all it's material interests as no other nation ever has.
 This success and prosperity has been due largely to a wise system or protec- tion to home industries, home mar ket and home labor, the maintenance of which is of the greatest importance to the laboring man, to the stock kgrow- CTS, to wool producers, to mining in- dustries, to the producers of the soil and to every other American indus try.
 Because of an opposite belief by the democratic administration since it has assumed control of governmental af- fairs, all of our industrial interests are threatened with destruction or great injury.
 We censure the democratic admins tration for
 First-An increase of our national bonded indebtedness.
 Second-It has legislated in the in- terests of the great sugar trust of the country.
 Third It has almost destroyed the cattle, wool and silver interests of America.
 Fourth-It has failed to redeem it's pledges of two years since togiye state hood to the territory.
 Fifth-It has legislated in the inter- ests of the manufactures of other countries and against the interests of all classes in our own country, and is responsible for the hard times" that afflict us.
 We are opposed to the return of the renegade Geronimo to our territory as is now threatened.
 We believe in the free and unlimit- ed coinage of silver in ratio of l6 to l and demand that our government take immediate steps to this end with out regard to what other nations may do.
 We favor the reduction of taxation to the lowest possible limit under which territorial, county and munich pal governments can be carried on in our territory.
 We demand national legislation in the question of naturalization and i'm migration, to the end that our count ry may be protected from socialists, an archists and the pauper and criminal classes of all countries.
 We favor government appropriation Of moneys for the reclamation of the arid lands of the west.
 We favor the admission of Arizona as state and depreciate any attempt to make this party issue as being in- imical to the interests of the terri tory.

SAW HEAVEN AND HE'LL.
PASCO HODC ES CAME BACK FROM
DEATH TO WARN HIS ATHEIS-
TIC FRIENDS.

A very strange story comes
from Wilmington, n. c., which
is reported as follows:
"Many persons in Wilmington
believed Pasco Hodges died and
came to life again for the purpose
of telling his friends that heaven
and hell were realities. Before
falling i'll he was an atheist, as
were many OF his friends. They
did not believe there was a God,
a heaven, or a hell. His views
changed, however, on his death
bed, and on Friday he was bap-
tised by Father Cahill, of the
Catholic church, and ordered his
atheistic books to be burned. On
Saturday he became unconscious,
and the physicians, fearing that
the end had come, requested his
wife to leave the room. Soon
afterWard he sat up III bed, called
his vile, and taking her III his
arms, said he had died but she
had brought him to life by her
distress. Then to the startled
group of atheistic friends who
had by this time collected around
him, he said eXpressively:
"There is a hell; there is a
heaven; | have seen both"
Then he described both saying
that Jesus was waiting for him
and he must go, babe his wife
farewell, placed his hands i'll atti-
tude of prayer, became uncon-
sCious, and remained so until the
end. Those around who had
professed unbelief trernbled and
wept BITTERLY"

BUSINESS AND THE HARD
TIMES.

Times are hard, indeed, and
money is scarce; but merchants
and dealers can make them a
great deal harder and money
much scarcer, so far, at least, as
they are concerned, by secluding
themselves from public gaze, as
it were, and falling to use every
means i'll their reach for doing at
least a share of what business
there is 20 be done. No matter
how hard times may be, certain
amount of purchasing must be
done daily by almost every family;
and the harder the times, the
more sharply are the buyers
looking out for bargains. And a
popularity of the case is that III
periods of great depression
large portion of the small trade
is for cash. Business men who
fail to advertise and thus make
known what special inducements
they have to offer are therefore
certain to be passed by while
their energetic and enterprising
competitors are picking up what
money there is in circulation.
What would be thought of far
mer who, having bought or rent
ed his place, ploughed his fields
and sowed his seed, sullen1y re-
fuse to gather his crop because
the yield happened to be lighter
than usual when, indeed, there
was all the more necessity for
gathering what there might be !?
Yet that is precisely the attitude
in which business man places
himself when he fails to adver-
tise because money is scarce and
business dull.

WHERE THE CURFEW is
RUNG.

St. Louis Globe Democrat: The
only town in which curfew is
still rung is Fayetteville, N. c.
Notwithstanding the abolition by
statue i'll the sixteenth century
of the custom of ringing the cur
few i'll England, this American
town has kept it up for nearly
two centuries or since it was first
settled. The custom has there
very nearly lost its ancient sig
misunderstanding the people to
put out the fires OH the hearths
and to remain indoors for the
night. Every evening curfew
ushers i'll the night and bids
farewell to the day that is done,
and seldom are people seen upon
the streets after its sound has
ceased. 1t has never missed a
night during the last century,
and there is no disposition to
abolish it. 1t also has a town
crier, but in this it is not alone,
Columbia, S. c. keeping up with
that custunl, which, I believe,
has fallen into disuse elsewhere.

OF all the inventions for the
ruin of the farming interest,
mortgaging the crops i'll our
opinion is the worst. and we do
most earnestly advise against it.
Better live on plain bread and
COWS milk until you can do bet
ter, than mortgage crop or land
for supplies, for as sure as you
commit yourself to a mortgage
YOU will come to this at last. The
mortgage system is a delusion
and a snare. The temptation is
that you will be surely able to
pay it off at the appointed time
from the receipts of the crop.
How many Of your acquaintance
have done so? Do you not know
those who are daily toiling and
denying themselves and their
families to meet the payments of
mortgages and who grow poorer
and poorer every year? 1t is a
system that is crushing out not
not only the hope, but the very
fire of the farmer, and bringing
gaunt poverty upon the land
We say therefore, avoid it and
rely upon your industry, econo-
my and self denial as far more
sure means Of lettering your
condition than mortgage upon
the crops.
