Good For Murphy.

There is one man in congress who
does not believe in letting his light
be hid under bushel. He is Yam
kee from Maine and he is now the
delegate from the territory of Ari
zona, Nathan o. Murphy is his
name. The combination of Yam
kee and an Irishman is hard to beat,
Mr.Murphy tells a good deal about
himself in the autobiography which
he has written for the Congression
al Directory. He Informs us that
early in life he fitted himself ''for
the part he was destined to play in
rich, though, at the time he arrived
in Arizona, an undeveloped country"
He followed the course of empire
to the west" in 1888, settling at Pres
colt. ''being far-seeing enough" as
he modestly says, ''that land so rich
in minerals and so fertile when pro-
perly irrigated must eventually come
to the 'front.'" His first business ven
lures, it is pleasing to know upon
his own excellent authority, ''were
highly successful" but it is still
more interesting to learn that ''under
his two years leadership the territory
made wonderful progress" He tells
us, too, that he succeeded in arous-
ing interest in Arizona throughout
the length and breadth of the conti-
nent, and millions of dollars are be-
ing expended in developing the
country through his efforts" Much
more to the same effect does Mr..
Murphy vounchsafe in the way of in
formation about himself, but this is
sufficient to indicate that he is a
wonder. Nor is Mr.. Murphy lacking
in self-assertion upon the floor of the
House. A few days ago representa-
tive Turner of Georgia, desired to
have printed some facts and figures
which defended the secretary of the
interior from an attack made upon
his administration upon the floor of
the house. Up rose Mr.. Murphy, his
red mustache cleaning like pump
kin on the hillside. II object" he
said, in Wolfville tone of voice.
Speaker Reed did not know him.
There was a painful pause. "Who is
he?" asked Mr.. Reed of the clerk by
his side. The clerk was ignorant,
Ike Hill was appealed to. II think
he is one of those id New York
fellows" said Ike, while everybody
wondered why the Speaker continued
silent. "The gentleman from New
York Objects" said Mr.. Reed finally,
and Mr.. Turner sat down.
But it was not gentleman from
New York at all. 1t was Delegate
from Arizona, who has no right to
object any more than he has right
to vote. Of this he might have been
unconscious, but, all the same, the
facts and figures which Mr.. Turner
has secured have not played any part
thus far in the proceedings of the
House.-Washington Star.

Threw Away His Canes.

Mr.. D. Wiley, ex-postmaster, Black
Creek, N. ", was SO badly afflicted
with rheumatism that he was only
able to hobble around with canes, and
even then it caused him great pain.
After using Chamberlain's Pain Balm
he was so much improved that he
threw away his canes. He says this
iniment did him more good than all
other medicines and treatment put
together. For sale at so cents per

PATENT MEDICINE BOOMs.
Small companies have been organized
to exploit all kinds Of patents, and the
latest line of companies is seeking cap
ital, and getting it readily, to boom the
sale of patent medicines and health
foods" A few days ago a company was
incorporated to build and carry on
music hall, and perhaps the oldest
company of all is one lately formed to
establish a proprietary club Brewer
les, bakeries. dry goods stores and shops
Of all kinds are being incorporated, and
the shares of those which attract the
public are snapped up instantly. One
Of the largest London breweries was
Incorporated this week and the shares
times over In less than Is minutes after
the list was opened. Almost every
kind of successful OF promising bust
ness concern is being incorporated, and
unless some big outlet is found for the
great glut of idle money is seems en-
tirely probable that soon there viii be
scarcely big private business enter
prise in Great Britain The mails are
flooded daily with prospectuses of new
companies, and many promoters are
reaping rich harvest
Unfortunately there is danger that
this new speculative fever will have a
disastrous ending for many investors.
Many Of the dozens of new little com
panies undoubtedly have 2. substantial
foundation, but am told that there are
many others that cannot fail OF utter
collapse in a longer or shorter period
after the first payment of the shares
has been made. A member OF the stock
exchange told me the other day that
he was open to make any amount Of
money by betting that about So per
cent OF the smaller fry of companies
now ia the field viii utterly fail within
six months, and 10 or Is per cent inside
of three months.
A great deal of money is also being
invested i'm mining properties in South
Africa and West Australia. But
an these things are on a comparatively
small scale, and do little to relieve the
plethora Of idle money in the London
market. Undoubtedly the larger capt.
talists are looking anxiously. many
hopefully to a satisfactory settlement of
the monetary and commercial cOndi-
lions of the United States as the only
radical relief now discernible for the
great giut of idle money in England.

POLITICAL CYCLE CLUB.
The Idea Originated at Paterson the

New York, June 30--What VIII prob
ably be one Of the most popular of new
political organizations during the com
ing campaign has found its birth in
Paterson, the home of Garrett A HO-
bart, the Republican vice presidential
nominee 1t is a political bicycle club,
coupled with a novel plan of work.
Although it first came to light last
Wednesday, a large number of political
wheeling enthusiasts in large cities
drought the country have already
caught the idea and similar associa-
lions are being rapidly formed.
When a sufficient number join the
captain and two lfeuteuants, who are
the only officers of the organizations,
fix upon some outlying town or rural
district in which to hold a political
demonstration, and then the leading
partisans of those places are notified
that a mass meeting is to be held in
their vicinity. On the night fixed for
their meeting the whee1men ride in q
body to the appointed place, and, plant
ing their banner in an open field, con
duct a demonstration
