For your Protection .-Catarrh "Cures' or
Tonicsf for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide Of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
iousif too long taken. Catarrh is a local, not
a blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow severe pain in
the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. The remedy should be quick to allay
inflammation andhe the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, 50 cents.

Fallen From Grace.

From the Silver City Independent.
The Independent regrets sincerely
the very inconsistent and vacillatlng
position occupied by THE OPTIC, for
the reason that that journal has always
been found in the foreground Of ad-
vancement and has ably defended its
attitude on the leading questions of the
day. But now, in a vital moment, it
has fallen from grace. The
OPTIC, 10 common with all the repub
lican papers in the west and south. are
surely in a very embarrassed position,
and in their efforts to explain, they
are rendered the objects of derision.

GOOD POLITICS.

We are in the midst of a presidential
campaign in which everybody is sup
posed to take some interest. Politics
from this time on until election day
will receive the thoughtful considera.
ton of all the people. There is a sense
in which the study and pursuit of poll
tics is one of the highest and noblest
duties of citizenship. 10 a free coun-
try, and there are few civilized coun
tries to-day in which the people are
not admitted to a greater or less share
in public affairs in making their own
laws and regulating their taxes,
the man who affects to despise or dis
like politics is in reality wanting in q
proper sense of what he owes 10 soci-
ETY., to his fellow-man and to his coun-
try.
In u country, where the people, IN
theory, rule in all things, they only fail
to rule practically so far as they neglect
their duties and allow that which
should be the pride and the business OF
every citizen to become the profession
and trade OF the selfish and unscrupu.
lous. 1t is to be regretted that there
should be two kinds of politics, and
that the worse should be so much
more Familiarity known than the better.
There are many reasons why politics
should be regarded as the first study
and the greatest interest of every citi-
zen, in which it should form a. part OF
every mans education, be taught
in all our schools and colleges,
be the especial mission Of the
press, and at times receive the
earnest support and encourage
ment of the pulpit-that politics
which is but an application to public
affairs of the principles Of morality
and religion, and in the interest of the
peace, prosperity and safety Of tho peo-
pie. This is the sort Of politics which
will appeal to women, wives and to
mothers, as we'll as to all men, for its
aims are not limited to the business Of
carrying elections and capturing Of
fees. In this sort of politics, which
has for its aim the improvement of so
clety, the correction of abuses, the
promotion of good government, there
is no reason why good men and women
should not work together, and ulti.
mately give even the furnished name
of politician and the term politics itself
new dignity and honor.
THE Optic is and has been honest
and clean in politics. 1t has never
been a part OF political schemes OF
trickery. 1t has never had the patron
age Of political boodlers, therefore til.
stand it takes in this campaign is
known to be honest and this carries !
weight with the people. We believt
in protection, and we believe in tht
free coinage of silver. Both these
great principles are not embodied in
any one OF the political platforms be-
fore the people. to-day. But in THU
Territory, where no electoral votes il
had, it is possible that good men can
be selected to fill the public offices,
who represent both protection and BIZ
metallism. This would be consistent
and reasonable. Why can o the re-
publican party of this Territory take
this standP 1t is the hope that the
party has to win and to not disin-
tegrate.

HEARING DISEASES.
fhe Newly Invented Phonendoscope and
Its Application.

The newly invented phonendoscope is de-
signed TO be used by physicians and sur
geons for detecting the presence of disease
by sound.
The instrument consists of circular flat
metal box or tympanum, having on its one
surface two apertures for the attachment
of the rubber ear tubes, while the other
surface is formed by IA thin disk which Is
readily thrown into vibration. The best
results are obtained by simply applying
this disk to the surface to be examined.
BY an ingenious contrivance a second disk
can be superposed upon this one and a
vulcanite rod attached to the former, SO
that the area of auscultation may be ex-
tremely circumscribed. The conduction Of
the sounds Is only slightly diminished by
the use of this rod which thus combines
the principle of the solid stethoscope with
that of tho tympGnum. The rod furnished
with the instrument Is about inches in
length, but 1t is stated that there arc other
rods of various lengths 10 enable the
"phonendoscopist" 10 receive sound vibra-
tions from the natural cavities which COM
municate with the exterior of the body
Altogether we consider the instrument
highly ingenious, carefully and compactly
constructed, useful MS an aid TO auscuita-
tion and yet not likely TO entirely super
sede the use of the stethoscopc. 1t may also
be found usefsl in class demonstration,
since it would be easy by means of branch
cd tubes 10 enable several persons to listen
at the same time.
The instrument would be particularly
useful for the following purposes: l. Tho
sound Of the respiratory organs, of the cir
culation of the blood aud of the digestive
organs in the healthy body as well as In
the sick subject. 2. The sounds made by
the muscles, joints and bones B. Tho
sound Of the capillary circulation. 4 The
slightest sounds produced In any diseased
condition Of the body; hence IL ia possible
to draw on the body Dimensions, the posi-
tion or any alteration in the position Of the
various organs and of. the fluids which have
gathered in the most important cavities in
the body. D. The sounds in the eye tho
ear, the bladder, the stomach and the In
testines. Lancet

THE BATTLEsHlp OREGON.
She Is Now to begin Her Active Sea Work
on the Pacific.

During the coming week the first class
battleship Oregon will go into commission
at Mare island under the command of Cap
tain II. l.. Howison. The Oregon has
about 20 tons overweight of machinery,
which will cause the contractors to forfeit
about $500 according TO the contract
penalties. However, as she earned the
speed premium of Sl75,000, they will find
that deduction very easy to bear. The
board of inspection and survey has pro-
nounced tho Oregon TO be an excellent sea
boat, stable, easily steered, powerful and
remarkably free from vibration. The mat
ter of the substitution os few improper
plates on part of the protective deck has
been easily arranged, and there was abun-
dant evidence that this was done without
the knowledge of tho shipbuilders The
regular plates have since been supplied.
On the Pacific coast, in home waters, we
now have three effective armorclads, the
Oregon, the Monterey and the Monadnock
We have also the modern steel protected
cruisers Baltimore, Philadelphia, Charles
ton, the gunboats Bennington. Concord
and Petrol and the old timers Thetis and
Ranger This array is exclusive of the
Adams, Alert and Marion, belonging 10
tho Pacific squadron, but OH cruising duty
as well, of course, as of vessels on the OPP
posite side of the Pacific. Some OF the ships
named are under repair, but all can bo
made ready for service promptly, and it is
not surprising to hear, accordingly, that a
series Of squadron exercises has been or
dered for Admiral Bcardslce's command
corresponding 20 these which arc TO be cor
ried ont by Admiral Buncc Relatively.
too, to It's Importance the Pacific coast is
just now bottor supplied with war vessels
than the Atantic, although this Is partly
due to tho brlnging'home of several ships
