The new law OF 1886. which VIII govern

lists under each party designation. the

WHEN MRS. BURNETT WAS
LITTLE.

Writing in the Youths Companion the
author of Little Lord Fauntleroy' says:
81 was shy child and proud one, and it
never occurred to me to ask advice or help
OF any one. | knew no one who was in
the least literary, and if had known such
persons | should have felt it quite out OF
the question to talk of my small affairs to
them. | never talked to any one but my
little sisters, who thought my stories
adorable.
Somehow felt quite sure that if
could do anything | must do it myself
| was not in the least sure that what
could do was of any consequence, but
knew it was harmless and that could live
on what l earned by it if | worked hard
enough.
81 have sometimes been asked who en-
couraged' me in those days; but, as | have
just said, did not ask any one to encour-
age me. l lived quite in the country and
quite without neighbors. | knew very
few people indeed. had no library and
knew no one who had one.
Il remember with a great feeling of
gratitude man who lent me book, from
what impulse of kindness | could not eX-
plain. He was young man and scarcely
knew me at all except as one of the three
little girls who wore shabby calico frocks
and worn shoes and lived in little frame
house on some land which belonged tc
him.

The following will cause a recogni- ton of the same character of import ance some of our citizens attach to themselves. It is from the Atlanta Constitution:
 Hear any noise in town?" asked the editor of the Jimtown Jonah.
 Not a sound"
 No buildings caved in?"
 Mot one"
 No signs of earthuuake?"
 None at all.''
 "Or protests from citizens?"
 Absolutely none."
 "Jerusalem!" exclaimed the editor, as he mopped the precipitation from his brow, "and bolted the party yes terday."

The man who made the VOW that he would not vote for president until the nominee came from west of the Mississippi disfranchised himself for thirty years. What did he gain? We recall another man who made a VOW never to shave or cut his hair until a Democrat was elected to congress in his district. Years rolled on and the man was a sight to behold. The town boys got into the habit of chasing him. Finally he was sent to lunatic asylum, where the attendant barber cut his hair and shaved off his beard. And 10! it was discovered that he was sane. To this day his district has not sent Democrat to congress and the man still keeps his VOW. He always patronizes barber.

American, be he Democrat, Populist or Republican, will fail to utterly de- nounce anything of this sort. It does not matter in the interest of what can- didate, what party or what principle such means are employed; it issthor o ooughly bad, thoroughly repugnant to the American spirit of liberty.
 The advocatesaof the gold standard indeed, could adopt no attitude more surely fatal to their cause It would be regarded, and not without reason, as confirming the mistaken notion that this battle of the standards is a conflict between classes.
 The vote of every American citizen is his own, to cast as he pleases. His political opinions are his own, to be dictated by nobody. His action on questions of public policy is directed by his own judgment, for which he is accountable to his conscience alone And he is not to be intimidated.
 Threats of loss of employment, of disfavor, of boycotting or blacklisting, or intimidation of any kind are high crimes against American citizenship.
 Dealers in money will do we'll to exercise great care in their manner of transacting business with their pat rOns The threats to close down on notes and mortgages, and to demand additional securities, when dealing with men known to be favorable to sil- yer, constitute the most fragrant method of intimidation, and there is limit to it somewhere.

A young man of Kansas while in Philadelphia lost his memory. He was taken to a hospital, cared for, and was contented and happy. After a few months his people discovered him last week, have taken him home, and now every branch of science is at work in an effort to bring back to him that which he was happier without The most delightful feature of his ill., ness, in our judgment, came to him in the ease with which forgetfulness of those he thought he knew best came to him.

They procured a license to marry all in joke. They went before a priest and answered affirmatively all the questions in a joke. Then they went about their ordinary duties and were no more to each other than friends. Accidentally they discovered that they were actually married-all in the joke. Now they live together. All this in Missouri. Will somebody tell us the joke?

NONE BUT AYERS AT THE
 WORLDS FAIR.

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair. Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsapardllas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- r1lla is not a patent medicine It does not belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on it's merits"

They have a new system of meas uring criminals now, and schools of instruction are being opened in differ ent parts of the country. It has been reduced to so exact science that measurements and register of a man can be made in seven minutes so per- fectly that he could be easily picked out anywhere. We have little use for such a school here in Arizona, at the same time small one might come in handy-for an hour or two.

THE VOTERS DUTY.

That the people will not tolerate corruption all the time on the part of officials is illustrated at this time in San Francisco in the matter of the seven supervisors who lessened by some millions of dollars, the assess ments of a number of corporations.
 A mass meeting was held one night tion of resolutions filled with the true ring and spirit of an outraged people. And there is encouragement to hope that prosecutions and punishments will follow that will have deterrent effect on the successors of the recalci- trant officials for long time to come.
 At the meeting one question came up frequently and it is as applicable elsewhere as in San Francisco. ''Why do you elect such men to officer"
 Take this question home to your self, voter in Arizona, and when the truthful answer to it is photographed indelibly on your memory keep it there until the next election comes and you are about to cast your ballot. Then ask yourself: Why should l vote for this man? Or this man? ?'' and by scratching from your ballot the name of any and every man, candidate for any important position of trust who does not come up to your idea oi the requirements necessary to fill the position to your satisfaction.
 With reference to those officials placed in our midst to transact Ou1 business, through no voice of our own keep alive the cry for statehood.
 In the meantime let every good cit izen remember that it is at the pre- liminary meetings the trouble is brewed. Attend these meetings. Fol low up the good work by attending and voting at the primaries. Do no stay your work until you have seer the sun go down on the day that vii determine whether you are to be rule( by officials selected for you by thos' who have no interest in your business welfare, or whether the administra tion of your affairs shall be in tn hands of those of your number whom you can trust, and who have as mucl at stake in your town, county or ter ritory as you have yourself.
 There is food for grave and seriou thought in all this, and it would b well for every man to ponder it deeply Ponder it until the resolution come to you that you will not neglect you duty when the time arrives for you t act, and then live up to the resolution
