Aboard Ship.

Sea voyages are usually deemed pro- motive of health. So they are in most cases. But it may we'll be doubted if the shaking up aboard ship, which peo- pie of very fragile constitutions and weak nerves get, is not prejudicial if it's effects are not averted or nullIied by a medicial safeguard. The best. if we are to believe the testimony of ocean travellers, whether they go abroad for health, pleasure or business, is Hostet- ter's Stomach Bitters. Invalids, com merciaI travellers, sea captains and yatchmen concur in recommending this fen defensive tonic. So do emi- grants to the frontier, the inhabitants of malarious regions, and all who are exposed to hardship or rlgors of climate. For naIaral, rheumatic or kidney trouble, nervousness, dyspepsia, liver complaint and constipation it is emil nently efficacious, and commended by the medical fraternity far and near.

JUDGE REESE M. LING.

We clip the following from the Pres colt Courier's account of the proceed ings of the late Yavapai County Demo cratic convention. held in Prescott last week:
 At this period Judge Reese Ling stepped to the front, and in speech full of true manli- ness and unadulterated Democracy, moved that it be voted the sense of the convention that the delegation to Phenix use all honorable means to elect Colonel Wilson, his opponent for the position of delegate to the National Democratic convention at Chicago. Judge Ling said he was Democrat first, last and all the time that his opponent had fairly won the fight, and he was with him. Chairman Rowe seemed be- side himself with joy at this ex- ibition of true loyalty. and called for three che rs for Ling, which were given with a will Ling's motion was carried unanimously. Judge Ling certainly did hims self proud and won the esteem of all present by his manly course.
 The writer has known Reese M. Ling for many years, and his action in the convention, as detailed above, is just what might have been expected of him. The Democratic party Of YaVapal coun- ty and the Territory are to be congratu- lated on numbering among its members such bright young men as Judge Ling. Should the example thus set be more generally followed, the party organiza- ton would soon become invincible. Such actions as these show all the bright CT at this time, being in marked con- trast 10 the action of some members of the Republican party at their recent county and territorial conventions. We are glad to note that the convention recognized the manly course of Judge Ling by giving him three rousing cheers at the conclusion of his speech. Judge Ling will be heard from in the councils of the Democracy of Arizona later.

Indians are Scarce.

IouIpher valley news.
 No Indian signs have been seen on the border for the past two weeks, but the troops not relax thelr vigilance for a moment. Believing that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure Col. Sumner has two troops of cavalry in the field and about thirty Indian scouts. If trail is struck it will be followed until the Indians are caught or killed. Seven hellograrh stations are now in operation and word can be sent from the Mexican line to Ft. Grant in very short time. Col. Sumner is now in the vicinity of the San Barnar- dino ranch personally directing the movements of the troops.

VIM. DUNBAR, son of John Dunbar, of the Phenix Gazette, and Editor T. J, Wol1ey, of the Republican, have had several iInpromptu scrapping matches lately. Dunbar was arrested, but on promising the magistrate to behave himself in the future, was discharged . We would suggest that the Governor call out the National Guard to prevent any further breach of the peace. It cost the territory several hundred dol lars recently to meet a threatened breach near the New Mexico line, and the alleged preachers were not citizens of Arizona, either.

THE editor of the Yuma Advertiser objects to being called a liar. He uses the following language while speaking of little unpleasantness between him- self and fellow townsman:
 It is partof our religious belief that if one has no selfrespect, he will be respected by no one else. We were called "a liar" last Saturday and we immediately Ietaliated. Enough said. The columns of the Advertiser are too valuable to fill with detailed accounts of personal scraps
 From another source we learn that the editor used both his EG E& with marked and telling effect.

Mrs. Crane is desir- ous of finding out what good qualities may be brought of an Indian properly raised surrounded by good influences: In this case however the kindhearted lady will have to be disappointed as the baby has been secured by its mother who returned to tho reservation for that purpose and is now good squaw- at least for willie.

 T. J. Wolfey informed MT. Kurtz last evening that the case of Wolhey vs. McCord would be settled in two or three days in his favor, and that Messrs. Cole and Leitch were to be removed at once, The trouble with the advisers of the territorial administration is, and has been, too much mouth. It doesn't look well to have a Republican prating on the public streets about what Demo cratic governor is going to do, and we trust Governor Franklin will put veto on their mouths.

Turned Around in His Shoes.
[Frou HarpePs round Table.

"Right facel Left facel About facel"
 The little fat, red-faced Sergeant bawled out his order, and watched the line of feet as the raw recuits endeav- ored to follow them out. To his aston ishment, one pair of feet, more notice able on account of their extra large size, never turned. Without taking his eyes of these feet the little Sergeant bawled out a second order. About facel" He could see that all the feet, except those he watched turned in obedience. Rushing up to the owner, alittle fellow, he seized him by the shoulder, shoting, "Why don't you turn with the rest?"
 "Why, I did," replied the trembling recruit.
 "You did eh? We'll, watched your feet, and they never turned"

Republican papers have no doubt as to what kind of a platform will be adopted by the Republican national convention. The St. Louis Globe Dem ocrat says; "The man who is nominated at St. Louis. whoever he is, will stand on the platform which is framed for him, and nobody will be in any doubt as to what that platform will mean. It will declare for the gold standard just as squarely and emphatically as the Republican conventions of New. fork, Massachusetts, Missouri and the great majority of the states did. All the at- te1npts to get up panic on account of the imagined shakiness of any particu- lar Republican aspirant will end quick. ly when the St. Louis asseIrblage speaks"

 Remember what PresS. Arthur said in hls veto of the River and Harbor bill in 1882: Thus as the bill becomes more objectionable it secures more SUD- port" President Cleveland points out that there are AT items of appro- priations contained in the present bill and thIs alone explains the strength of the veto in it's favor. While it carries undoubtedly many merito1ous and even necessary provisions, the fact remains that the bill is essentially a log rolling sch me protecting special and pet measures of congressman with out regard to the necessities of the national treasury.

THE GREAT WHEN.
Eugene Guard.

Eugene Guard. When the lion eats grass with the OK
 And the fSh-worm swallows the whale; When the robins nit wColen socks,
 And the hare is outrun by the snail; When the serpent walks upright like men, z And boodle-bugs travel like frogs; When the grasshopper feeds off the hen, And feathers are found on hogs: When Thomas cats swing in the air, And elephants roost on the trees; When insects in number are rare,
 And snuff never makes people sneeze; When fish creep over dry land.
 And mules on bicycles ride: When foxes lay eggs in the sand,
 And women in dress take no pride; When Dutchmen no longer drink beer, A. the girls get to chorch on time When billy-goats butt from the rear; And treason no longer is crime; When humming birds bray like an ass, And hmburger smells like cologne: When plowshares are made ont of glass; And the hearts of true Texans are stone; When ideas grow in cabbage heads, And the wool on the hydraulic ram Then the Democratic party will be dead. And the country won't be worth d-n

A New Citizen Member.

Sometimes the unexpected happens but there is one instance when the signs of the zodiac did not fail. It has for some time been predicted that T. J. Wolfey, editor of the Republican, would be appointed by Governor Frank lin as citizen member of the board of control. This was verified on Wednes- day when Goveonor Franklin issued a commission to Wolfley dependent only on his furnishing bond of S10,0O0. Of course incidentally, it will be necessary to get the chair used by the present in- cumbent Col. M. H. McCord.

Not a Vegtige Of Decency Left.

The Republican psrty's disreputable
methods are such that even it's own
papers will not longer defend them.
The recent Wysndotte Republican con-
Vention merely adds to the rapidly &C.
cumulating evidence of the degrade
tion Of the once respected party. This
convention split. Bill Buchan, the
professional fixer and Legislative scala
wag, was outwitted and beaten at his
own game. When it is remembered
that Buchan has a record In this line
established by long years of scheminR
and wire-pulling, the reputation Of
Wysndotte Republicans is fully estsb
lished. The Kansas City Gazette CRep.)
says:
"For some years past the Republican
county conventions of Wysndotte have
enjoyed the reputation of being com.
mon auction pens. The primaries and
convention held last week to elect del
egstes to the Congressional conventions

Farmers have made efforts In the
past to buy farm machinery Cbesply by
concentrating trade In selected fscto-
Fies, but the organizations of farmers
have not usually been sufficiently com
pact and vigorous, even IL strong
enough in numbers, to overcome tbe
trusts and combinations of the few
large manufacturers of farm maChin-
cry that now practically control the
field. There has been more success In
the purchase of binding twlne and fer
tilizerS, and sometimes coal, and of
late IN shipping grain.
On the whole, if we Judge the
cooperative movement In America
from the standpoint of writers like
Mill, who hope to gain from 1t a solu-
ton of the problem of capital and labor,
we will find little to encourage US in
the United States, despite the excellent
start that fifty or possibly 100 stores
have made, and despite the success of
a few large profit sharing enterprises.
X
In the cities and throughout the
ranks of organized labor, and among
those writer's who take special inter
est In labor problems, the drift is now
so strongly in favor Of adopting in
America such principles of municipal
management of local monopolies as we
find insugursted in Glasgow and Biz
minghsm, and government ownership
of railroads and telegraphs as in Aus.
trslia and Germany, together with
great extensions of factory and labor
legislation and changes in our system
of money and taxation, as to crowd out
out of consideration the principles of
voluntary industrial cooper alton. When
the wage workers of our cities do con.
slider cooperation, they often become
absorbed in experiments which usually
fail after a time in the direction of CO.
operative colonies or villages where
most of the capital is owned by the
community. **
A general survey, based on several
years observation of the movement In
America, has been all that have tried
to give.

loan associations and few minor mStteFg.l
There is very little distributlve CO.
operation, such as stores, In the United
States, and scarcely any productive CO.
operation, such as factories, mines and
work shops, but there is a great devel.
Opment of cooperative building and
loan associations, and q rapid increase
OF late in cooperative cresmeries and
insurance organizations among farmers.
Referring those who desire history
Of the movement to the book issued
through the Johns Hopkins press In
1888 entitled, Cooperation In the
United States," in whose preparation
the author Of this paper had the honor
to participate, in connection with sew
ersl others, and to an article Of mine,
credited by mistake to another, In
Appleton's (Americsn) Annual Ency-
clopedia for 1885 on Co operation, I
come at once to cooperative stores
as they now exist. There is no ma.
tiOnal, or until very lately, at least,
and, perhaps, not even now any, State
association of these enterprises, nor
any statistical returns from them In
the possession of our national OF State
governments. The secretaries of the
stores are usually indifferent to letters
Of inquiry, and 1t has not been possl-
BILE for me to visit many OF them in
the preparation Of this paper. From
the best returns obtainable one may
safely assert that Massachusetts has
about twenty-five cooperative stores.
Most of them have q history Of from
ten to twenty years, and follow the
RoChdsle plan. The largest Of these
10 the Arlington Cooperative AsSocia-
tion Of Lawrence, Mass, which has
two branches, and at the end Of its
eleventh year, in October, 1896, had
$500 members, capital stock of $l0l,-
1923, and total sales that year of
&ES9,470.6O. This permitted Of divi-
dend on trade of Z per cent. to
members and S1S per cent. to non
members on their trade, after paying 4
per cent. interest and adding S2,435 to
the sinking fund, which amounted at
the close of that year to $17, ,456.7S.
In no State outside Of Massa-
chusetts and Texas do we find more
than three or four stores of any size.
In Texas there is a wholesale assocIa.
tion at Galveston, known as the Texas
Cooperative Association, which has
capital paid In Of SS7, 600, and did a
business in 1894 of $500, 900 with q group
Of cooperative stores located within
200 or 300 miles of Galveston. This asso.
citation was able to declare a dividend
In 1894 Of 10 per cent. on stock and s
per cent. on trade. The only other
large association in the country ap.
pears to be the johnson County Co.
operative Association, at Olathe, Kss.,
with capital of 100000, q surplus
fund Of 900 at the close of It's eight
eenth year In 1894, and an annual trade
Of about $225,0O0. This last associa
tion, like those In Texas, and several
Of the small stores scattered through
the West, are connected with the Pa

zation sometimes known as the
Grange, which has 250,0OO members.
But most Of the cooperative stores
