He recommends minor i'm provements at Fort Bayard, New Mex ico, Fort Douglas, Utah, and the re- building of the posts at Fort Grant Arizona, and Whipple Barracks, Ari- zona- He also urges that the attention of congress be called to the disparity between the adjutant generals clerks compared with the pay of clerks of the supply department

JAY DEWEY'S CLAIM.
The M. & P. Railroad Company Has
 Arranged to Settle It.

Since the death of Jay Dewey few days ago the Maricopa & Phoenix Railroad company has come forward with an offer to settle his claim against the Southern Pacific
 Mr. Dewey's case attracted consid- erable public notice. About eighteen months ago he bought round trip ticket for Los Angeles. After reach ing there he sold the ticket to a scalper, concluding to remain in Cali fornia longer than he had at first in tended. When he finally left for home he patronized the scalper, re- ceiving his old ticket. Near Cotton, Cal, Mr. Dewey was elected from the train, the conductor refusing to honor the ticket, which he recognized as having passed through a scalper's hands
 MT. Dewey threatened suit, placing his damages at $500, but the matter has hung fire until now Secretary Kendall of the M. & P has arranged to settle the claim.
 The railroad company has been criticised in this matter, but the fact that it has concluded at this hour, when the money will
Arizona republican., 1896-11-21

come in most handily, to adjust the claim, is an indication that railroad corporations are not always the soul less bodies they are sometimes pie tured. It was not popularly believed that in a trial of the case MT. Dewey would have stood much chance to win, and the company has exhibited very broad spirit in the position it has finally taken. The disinclination to establish a precedent in cases of this nature has probably deterred the officials from earlier action.

"Only a trifle," you say; perhaps so, but it is best not to tri1e with it. That cough, if neglected, may result in some thing serious, such as bronchitis, pneu- monia, or even consumption. Sore throat, colds, coughs, hoarseness, diff culty of breathing, and similar disor- ders, though so common as to excite no alarm, should be treated without delay. The continued irritation of the bron- chial tubes may result in a dangerous inflammation The best remedy to take is Ayers Cherry Pectoral It is agreeable to the taste, only small doses are needed, and it is always ready for use.

Farmers Want Chean Money.

The advocates of free coinage in the
west and south don't take any stock"
in Bryan's occasional assertion that he
contends" that the adoption of this
policy would put up the price of silver
to Sl.2o. Indeed they would lose all
interest in the agitation il they sup
posed that the silver dollar under free
coinage was to be worth as much as
the gold dollar is now. The real senti-
ments of these people are clearly ex-
pressed by James Kitchen, an extensive
farmer and stockman of Grayson, KY,
who, when asked the other day why he
was for free silver. made this reply:
II am for free silver because I am in
debt, and If we get free coinage can pay
my debts with one-half of what 1t now
costs under our present money standard,
And another reason, employ laborers on
my farm. They are the creditors. am
the debtor. Under free coinage can nav
them with one half 1t costs me now for il
VIII raise the price of products, and | can
hire my farm help for 60 cents day and
pay them in bacon at Is cents pound"
1t must become more and more plain,
as the campaign proceeds, that this is
the motive and must be the result of the
free coinage agitation. The question at
issue will thus finally resolve itself into
the larger question. whether the Amer
lean people still believe that honesty is
the best policy.

As contribution to financial and
economic thought the following utter
ance Of Mr.. Bryan, made in Kentucky,
Is the most remarkable yet offered even
by him:
If any man in this community would
offer to buy all the eggs produced at rs
cents a dozen and was able to make
good the offer, nobody would sell eggs
for less, no matter what the cost Of pro-
duction, whether one cent or five cents a
dozen. So with silver. Free coinage
would establish the market price of sill
yer at $l.29, and nobody would sell it
for cent less"
Why limit the price of eggs to 25 cents
and of silver to $1.29? If the reason
ing is sound, the price in each case
might easily be doubled. and the conse-
quent benefit to the human race corre-
spondingly increased. And why stop
with eggs and silver? Why not mark up
the price of everything you wish to
buy-offer 10 pay double or treble what
is asked for it and keep on paying that
price to all comers-hold it there?
That's all you have to do-hold it there.
Nobody would sell it for cent less."
says Bryan, so long as you held it. so

ting forth such thought as that is can
