It is a FIRST rate rule never to
do any advertising from which it
would be impossible to trace any
results.
There is q great deal Of talk
about the mystery of advertising
and ITS uncertainty, but there re-
ally isn't any more mystery, or
any more uncertainty about It
than there is about any other
business undertaking.
A grocer may buy a box Of soap
and shove it under the counter,
and leave it there until it gets 30
hard as to be absolutely valueless.
This same man can buy advertise
ing space, and so use it that he
will derive no benefit from it, but
there is 40 need of his wasting
the soap or the advertising.
Run your advertising with the
same common sense that you do
the rest Of your business, and
there will be no guess work about
it. It will pay every time and al
ways, but do not buy space on bill
boards; do not buy little tin signs
to tack up on back fences; do not
hire some persmbulating painter
to disigure the farmers fence8
with your name and address
There is not one time in ten thou
sand that you can tell absolutely
whether this kind OF ADVERTISING.
pays or not. The chances are
one hundred to one that it does
not.
Put your hopes in the newspa-
per. Talk about some certain
thing and get ready for the custo-
mers. If it is a good thing at the
right price, and you have told
about it plainly and forcibly, you
will sell it-sure.
If your business isn't large
enough 20 justify extensive adj
vertising, better c%onine your work
to the columns of the best paper
of the town-THE SOUTHWEST
SENTINEL. It is a pretty sure
thing that the best people in town
those whose trade is most desir-
able-are the ones who take the
best paper. Its circulation is
made up of the cream of the COM
munity, and you had better got
all the trade you can out of that
circulation before you turn to
something else.

STATEHOOD IN THE HOUSE.

Washington, March 26. - The
statehood bills for admission of
Arizona and New Mexico will be
again passed upon by the house
committee on territories next
Thursday. Today the committee
decided without any formal vote
TO take the bills up next week and
vote upon them the second time.
The New Mexico bill has been
reported favorably to the senate
but the house committee by a very
close vote taken several weeks ago
decided not to report them to the
house. It is now claimed by the
advocates of statehood that two
committeeman Who voted against
reporting the bills have come to
the opinion that the best plan will
be 10 lay them before the house
and let the whole house take the
responsibility of passing or reject
ing them. This course has been
advocated by some of the party
leaders.
The committee has finished its
discussion of the house bill amend
ed by the senate to validate the
bonds issued by the territory Of
New Mexico for building the cap
itol. II was decided to accept the
senate amendment secured by Sem
ator Brice 10 include tonds 10 the
amount of Sl72OOO issued by
Santa Fe county 10 aid tho Santa
Fe railway, and the COMMITTEES
also added amendments 10 include
in the provisions of the bill $780,
600 Of Santa Fe liquidAting bonds
and $4,000 issued by Silver City.
Interest upon the bonds was re-
duced from 6 to 4 per cent The
bill in its present form validates
the bonds Of the territory.

ARIZONA STATEHOOD BILL.

Washington, March 26.-Sen-

port Of that committee on the bill

some one tell as whether or not Il
is foreign or domestic influence
that governs our legislation on the
subject Of coinage?
The contention is made that be-
cause Of the demand which would
be unlimited we're all Europe TO
join in opening the mints 10 the
coinage Of silver chat then the
price Of silver could be fixed aud
that it could not be changed. Now
If the nations Of Europe in con-
junction with the United States
can create an unlimited demand
for silver which shall raise the
price of silver, is not that increas-
ing the price of a commodity? At
least is it not fixing the price Of q
commodity Surely 1t is. An
unlimited demand is created at a
fixed price, and no man will part
with his commodity for less
than the established price. The
law of supply and demand
governs all prices and IL the prices
fixed by law for any commodity
and the demand is unlimited the
price 30 established must control.
Such has been proved by history
and experience. When the Sher-
man law, providing for the pur-
chase of four and one half mill
ion ounces of silver monthly, was
passed, the price of silver bullion
constantly rose untilsilve reached
SL.21 in New York, on August 19,
1890, the sixth day after the Sher-
man law went into effect. Yet
twelve months previous Aug. '69
the price Of silver was S0.92 per
ounce. But the Sherman law was
never intended to create an un-
limited demand. It was a make
shift to prevent an unlimited de-
mand. Yet it did create a great
demand but a demand not equal
to the supply. Now if that de-
mand had been unlimited will any
fair minded man say that the
price would not have been in
creased to the limit of S1.29 per
ounce? Surely if great, yet linn
tied, demand could cause a rise of
twenty eight cents in the period
of one year and cause the price to
approach within eight cents of the
limit, an unlimited demand would
force that price to the limit or par.
Say not that the rise in the price
of silver in 1890 caused a financial
disturbance or a business depres-
sion.
1t is the boast of a great polit-
ical party that times were good"
six years ago. No man can deny
prosperity was more general than
at present when silver is worth
less than seventy cents per ounce.
Restore, not the Sherman law
with its limited demand, but re-
store the laws of Hamilton, JEFF
ferson and Jackson with their un-
limited demand, and silver will
not only approach the limit but
upon the day that the mints are
open for the reception Of all the
silver offered the price will be
what the government of this great
country establishes. Nc man can
get more, no man will take less
than $l.29 per ounce.

rRMsrAPERs Atb POLITICS.


BRwsPAPERs ASP POLITICS.
Great political newspapers have
dared under greatest provocations.
m several notable instances, to.
sworvo from their accustomed
party channels. Horace Greedy
took the Tribune with him in bis
Presidential campaign away from
the republican party, Of which It
had been the acknowledged stand
ard bearer IN the United States.
Horace Greeley's wisdom ives
questioned, but those who de-
nounced hmm, and all who differed
with him, made no charge against
his integrity. The Tribune came
back to its Rrst love in due time.
Brooklyn has for years had a DEM
ocratic newspaper Of ultra-inde-
pendent tendencies, especially in
matters affecting it's municipal
government, and this paper Il
allude to the Eagle) has, under
the editorsbip Of 81. Clair Nickel
way, become one of the most
profitable, prosperous and power
al newspapers in this country. l
have heard it stated that It is one
of the three or four in the cities
of New York and Brooklyn whose
profits exceed $1,000 per diem.
So much for Independence and
fairness in politics. 1 do not ad-
wise that the radical course of
these journals be followed, but I
say that every newspaper, no mat
ter to what party 1t may be at
tached, a afford to speak truth
fully regarding all parties. I go
further, and say that a journal is
justified by the highest consider
atoms when its party is wrong, or
rather when party leaders go
astray, in stating that fact, and in
giving notice of impending dan
ger. A newspaper loses nothing
by acknowledging its own short
comings. A party is in position
10 be strengthened when It's weak
nesses are disclosed.
Lecky, in his England in the
Eighteenth Century" says that,
rightly or wrongly, nations are
judged mainly by their politicians
and by their political acts, and
when these have ceased to CON-
mand respect, the character of a
nation in the world is speedily
lowered" Newspapers are lergely
responsible for the character and
standing of the Nation itself.
The press, especially the press of
the southern states, has been ac-
cused of having been the chief
factor in bringing about the civil
war. / shall not pass judgment
upon this accusation, but it is fair
to say that the newspapers of
the south, as we'll as of the north,
ever since the organization of this
association, which has brought
the editors from all sections of the
land In fellowship together, have
done more to break down sectional
lines and cement the union of the
states than both the political par
ties combined. "Too much poll
tics" before the war did great
harm; 'foo much politics" today
is no less an evil. = John A.
Slaicher.

shame - if shame is kown 10
it. In their delegate conven.
ton last Saturday they had the
honor and courage, in their reso-

unlimited coinage of silver - a
principle which the republican
party Of this Territory implicitly
believe in but thorough cowsrdice
and a desire to grab federal pat
ronage are prevented from endors-
ing.

The republican party of the ma
tion,of this Territory,of this Coun-
ty, and of this precinct have clear
ly indicated its hostility to the
free coinage of silver-the nation
al party by its open warfare
against it, and the local party by
its refusal to support it. Should
the democratic party repeat the
action of the republican party it
should be damned Gas the republi-
can party is damned) by every

THE roRKENs SYSTEM WORK ING.


THE ToRRENS SYSTEM WORH ING.
The first transfer of land in
Chicago under the new "Torrens
system occurred a short time ago;
and the tact that three dollars
covered the cost of the
transaction to the buyer, while he
secured title guaranteed by the
state, has suggested some striking
contrasts with the common meth
cd. The seller of the property
paid about twenty dollars for the
state indemnity fund and the ex-
animation of, the title, but this eX-
pense connected only with the es-
tablishing Of the system, and has
to be borne but once by any piece
of real estate, while it is said that
bv the old method this single
transfer would have cost about
fifty dollars. The essential fea-
ture of the new system is that the
transfer is effected simply by en-
tering the fact in the official reg
lister, the buyer receiving a dupll-
cate certificate as evidence Of his
ownership, while the deed be-
comes only personal contract.
The recording of deeds, the long
and tireson1e search through vol,
luminous records, the risk Of de-
fects in title, insurance against
this risk, the inconvenience, de-
lay, and expense thus occasloned
are all made unnecessary, and the
sale of real estate becomes al
most as simple as the sale of
barrel of flour, while the title is
more secure than before. Like
many other good methods, thl:
comes with the recommendation
of Australia, where it has beef
tested for years, and no place tha
has adopted it has turned to othe
methods. The system has beer
under discussion in other state
than Illinois, and we shall lool
to see it gain a wide popularity

tive Grosvenor, of Ohio, who is
the custodian of the Washington
end of the Mckinley boom; and
the queerest part of the transac-
ton was that when the frauds
were exposed and confronted by
the three gentlemen they had
"worlled" neither of them would
agree to prosecute the rascals, but
all agreed in advising the chief of
the capitol building. Such ad-
vice was in the nature of an order
and was, of course, followed.
Certainly the bare fact that two
unknown colored men, with no
better credentials than their own
claims to control votes, could get
money from these men is proof
enough of the gullibility of poll
ticians. They called themselves
democrats when they went to see
Senator Hill, and claimed resi-
dence in New York. They were
republicans when they saw the
other gentlemen.
The most startling bit of presi-
dental news of the week is a
story that if the democratic silver
men control the Chicago conven-
ton they may nominate Senator
Cameron, of Pennsylvania for
president. According to the story
Mr.. Cameron has been sounded IN
a diplomatic way by democratic
silver senator's as to whether he
would accept the nomination, and
| the belief is that he would.
Those who regard the story as
probable point to Senator Gamer
on's recent statement to his Penn
sylvania friends that he did no
wish to be sent to the republican
national convention as delegate
They think this indicates a desire
on his part to be left free to &C
as he pleases in the presidential
campaign.

he was an active candidate for

recognition, the combination be-
ing too strong against him. He
nursed his disappointment unit
il soured him and he joined the
populist party in hope of getting
there the recognition to which
his undoubted ability and integ

cup of ambition was dashed from
his lips when a judicial nomina

In Your Minds Eye.

A Yale professor has been making a
series of experiments with different
people TO see how far the senses Of
touch, smell, hearing, etc, can be ex-
cited by mere suggestion Men, re-
quired to see 'small a per cent of sugar
they could detect in solution" tasted
its sweetness very speedily, though
drops were placed on their tongues
from series of bottles containing only
pure water. In a similar way they
smelled cloves from a bottle of the
same innocent liquid, judged the lar
gest of set of blocks to be the heavi-
est, though all had precisely the same
weight, felt pith-bal tapping on their
hands long after it had ceased to tap,
and heard succession of sounds.
though the sounds were no longer
made. These, and other tricks of the
senses, convinced the professor that
many OF our feelings-genuine enough
in themselves-are nevertheless due
solely to suggestions made upon the
mind. This is a study in which ont
may make much progress by himself
Possibly we may find great many o
our aches and pains and worries du
merely to ''self-suggestion.' Watcl

RIGHT AGAIN, BRO. BLAKE.

Washington Times: If the re-
cent confession and baptism of
Holmes, the confessed murderer
of twenty-seven people, is going
to land him in the heavenly here
after, we feel sorry for the
straight-laced every-day-a always-
good-christians, who expect and
hope to meet their we'll earned
reward in the same place. The
ministers who say that such men
as Holmes are forgiven when they
repent and are baptised in the
shadow of the gallows, ought to
change their mode of trying to
make the world better, Teach
ing the people that man can be
a scoundrel ard murderer all his
life and upon the day Of his death
by the hangman's rope, or any
other cause, can be landed in the
kingdom OF heaven by the repent
ance and baptism route, is wrong
and does lots of harm. If there
is red-hot hell, Holmes is en-
titled to and should have the hot
test corner. If there isn't, there
ought to be, for just such devil
as he has proven himself to be.
