They expect to leave within the next ten days or two weeks. # Prescott Journal Miner (Rep): That financial plank of the St. Louis plat form does not meet with the approval of the Republican party in Arizona, goes without the saying. At the terri torial convention of the party held two years ago, the editor of this paper had the honor of being member of the committee on platform and resolu- tions, and financial plank was insert ed in that platform and adopted by the convention, declaring in unequivocal terms in favor of silver coinage and expressly stipulating their advocacy of it, regardless of the action of other na tions. At the recent convention of the party in Phoenix there was unanim- ity of expression in favor of silver coinage. It is not reasonable to sup pose that the party in this territory has changed in this respect.

What an Expert Says of Insomnia.

Sir James Crichton Browne, the cx- pert on brain diseases, holds that in- somnia is not attended with such dis astrous consequences as is commonly supposed. It is not as dangerous as the solicitude of the sufferer. He sug- gests that the brains of literary men, who are the most frequent victims, ac- quire the trick of the heart, which takes a doze of a fraction of a second after each beat, and so manages to get six hours rest in 24. Some brains, in cases of insomnia, sleep in sections, different brain sections going off duty in turn.

Muscular King.

A king with strong arm is King Carlos of Portugal. Once upon time in the not long ago he went out hunt ing. His horse took fright and rushed headlong down the mountain, down toward a frightful precipice. A few yards more and horse and rider would be dashed to pieces. But up rose the king in his stirrups and brought his iron fists down on the poor beasts head with-well-with a whack. The horse dropped as if struck by lightning and the rider was safe.

nnhlican or Democrat

publican or Democrat. If all
these convention intrigues fail
and both parties turn a deaf ear
to their Establishments, the plot
tiers have in reserve the sti aight-
out silver party, whose conven-
ton is to meet in st. Louis after
both the other conventions have
been held.
There are candidates for the
Presidency in both parties who
would be only too glad secretly
to give pledge of doing the bid
ding of these conspirators if
thereby they could win the nom
nation. Nor should it be for
gotten that in either convention
the out-and-out silver men are
likely to have from one fourth
to one-third of all the delegates,
with many of the remaining two
thirds in more Or less sympathy
with them. They will be a posi-
tive, compact force having a
single purpose always in view,
and ready to throw their strength
where plans can be promoted. If
the sound money men permit
themselves to be hoodwinked or
to be inundated, if they weakly
conclude that they can make
sure of success at the polls only
by compromising with the silver
element, then the conspiracy
may succeed. 1t is not possible.
