He'll on n Comet.

DR.. Winston, a friend to the
great Sir Isaac Newton, and an
astronomer of high repute, pro-
fessed to believe that hell is, or
will be, located on comet. He
said: According to my calcula
tons this theory (his queer hell
belief), which belongs to me, and
me alone, locates hell, the awful
prison-house of the damned, in
the fiery nucleus of some (per-
haps yet undiscovered) comet of
unthinkable size. = In
this wide circling chariot of fire
they 1.-THE damned) will be whirled
in the twinkling of an eye back
into space hundreds of millions
of miles from the great torch
bearer of our system. Thus in
stantly will the wretched tenants
of this flying hell be given two
unbearable extremes, one of cold
and the other of heat; this to con
tinue through the endless ages of
eternity, while the Almighty is
dispensing the seventies of JUS
tice."

Inquiry is still received at this office from possible and probable Klontike adventures, says the Mining Scien- tiic Press, askiug for information ss to prospects in connection with that new Fl Dorado. Nothing good can be said that is new, and nothing new can be said that is good. Disappointment awaits 999 out of every l000 who start. There is no use to go to Dawson City unless one Las several thounaud dollars to buy a claim. He stands no show to otherwise secure ground in that vicin- ity, and the average Eastern man who would stat on an adventure of that kind has no need to go, if he has as much money as would be required to make the trip and set anything. That men can get to Dawson next summer is sn easy problem. Many of them will turn back almost imm medi istely after arrival, fe~ will scatter out, but the vast majority will be terribly dis appointed. Our advice is that no one should think of starting out for that country without the possession of a stout constitution, at least 5000 iu money, and with the full knowledge that he is risking his life; md that even should he win wealth. it will be nt the expehse of his health

The identity of the editor of the SILVER BELT, which seems to have worried some of our brethren of the press, is revealed by the Phoenix Re publican, which refers to us as the "youth who is sloshing around in Judge Hackney's shoes" The South. western Stockman appears to have de- rived some satisfaction from this an- nouncemeut, and speaks slightingly of our editorial ability. We would be glad if their allusions to our youthful ness were true. Unfortunately, we have passed the meridian of life and are on the down grade, perhaps few years older than either of our facetious contemporaries.

THE BELT SUSTAINED.

The Graham Guardian, replying vigorously to the accusations made by the Bulletin of dislayalty to home in terests for having reproduced our editorial, "Moral of the Clifton Crimes, suhstantiatss everything TIE BELT has snid in reference to condi
 tions at Clifton and Morenci. and the evils of the bolsta system in vogue at those camps, and opposed to which there is evidently a strong sentiment amongst the people of the Gila valley
 In conclusion the Guardian says: "Ihe Bulletin has, without cause or provocation, yillifed Globe ss camp and scandalized the character of it's citizens, then has tue assurance 10 say that the people of that camp will not uphold their own paper, THE BELT, in ferring that they instead will approve the utterances of Graham county's cor poration organ. Those people are not quite 50 near sighted. The editor of the Guardian has visited Globe several times, remaining there week at B time, and we never found its citizens the lawbreakers the Bulletin pictures them, nor the camp the hot-bed of crime. But to the contrary, we do not believe there is better regulated mining camp in the west. At any time, day or night, a lady may pass from one end of the town to the other and will never receive an insulting look or word. A street brawl is SO uu- common that should one occur 1t would raise the whole neighborhood. We found life in Globe to be about the same as in any well regulated city,"

which has prompted the vigorous news paper protests against the vacating of Whipple. The Prescott Courier takes a reasonable view of the matter while it would regret the abandonment, at the same time it recognizes that the post has been ds,riment to Prescott, in so far as it has been false prop to the town, weakening the ambition of the people to develop to an adequate degree the natural resources of the district shout Prescott. It is tLe same with town as with an individual The man who always looks to others for help never develops that resoluteness of character which is necessary to suc- cess in life. A town Is community of individuals and the same principle applies to it with eqnal force. Self reliance is half the battle.

We don't hear anything more about the financial straights of Mexico due to the contrariness of the government in maintaining the silver standard. The Chihuahua Enterprise says, "one of the great signs of vitality in an unde- reloped country is the growth of its native manufacturing industries. This is most noticeable in the recent history of Mexico. Twenty years ago there were, perhaps, not half-a-dozen home manufacturing institutions of any i'm
 portance, Now they eount mp into the hundreds" Mexico, without increas
 tug her purchases abroad, is building mp her export trade wonderfully, and was never more prosperous than now.

The editor of the Republican credits the rumor that be has beeu indicted for criminal libel for the publication of a cartoon that hurt the feelings of cer- tain thin skinned members of the late Franklin administration. It was also currently reported that John O. Dun. bar, editor of the Gazette, vas a proba. ble victim of the iuGicial inqnisition.

 racks, which according to reports emi
 hating from military sources is to be abandoned, but at the same time we can not see that its loss would be so disasterous to Northern Arizona as the Phoenix Republican and Prescott Jour nal- Miner would have people believe.

Geo. w. Jenkins, editor of the Santa Maria Gal. Times, in speaking of the various ailments of children, said "When my children have croup there is only one patent medicine that ever use, and that is Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It possesses some medical properties that relieve the little sufferers immediately. It is, in my opinion, the best cough medicine in the market" If this remedy is freely given as soon as the eroupy cough appears it will prevent the at tack. It is also an ideal remedy for whooping cough. There is no danger in giving it to children. as it contains nothing injurious. For sale by H. c. Hitchcock, druggist.

It is douhtfal if the spread of the christian religion has made people any more tolerant in the closing years of the nineteenth century than they were during the period of the Inquisiiiun. Fuuaticism IS at the foundation of all religious beliefs ani the Jealous votary is always intolersst. Iu the United States our boasted liberty of conscience is mockery, and in several of the states of tue Union We find there pre- vails under color of law espoinaye and persecution of certain religious sects. These thoughts are suggested by the refusal of the mayor of Elizabeth, New Jersey, to grant a permit to two Nor mon elders to open mission in that city. This incident serves to reveal the prejudice general in the East against the Mormon church, notwithstanding there is nothing in their ritual or moral cDue lnCOuslStent Nltn hODOfhDle citl- zenship. The Mormon church hss done more for the reclaiming and peophng of the West than has been &C., cnmplished by all other religions de
 nominations. They are an industrious and frugal people and have thrivrd under persecution, fact which other denominations are fond of pointing to in their own his- tory as proof that their religion IS divinely ordered and they are Gods chosen people. The religious belief of an individual is. in our opinion, only matter of instruction and environment.
 We believe what we are taught by onr fathers and mothers. and spend much of our time praying and listening to sermons, without practicing in our lives those precepts of charity and love which are the essence of trne religion.

NORMAL SCHOOL MONEY.

Attorney General Frazier, on appli- cation of the normal school board at Tempe. has just rendered decision to the effect that certain money on hand can be used in paying salaries and other running expenses of the in situation. The last Legislature appro- piiated $l6,00 for the purpose oi fin- ishing the building. Mr. Frazier holds that when tho contractors took work costing in excess of the amount specified they did so at their own risk and must look to the legislature for reimbursement. Money on hand, therefore, need not be expenued for any purpose save that of iiquidating running expenses. Mir. Frazier further suggested that to expedite matters the cost of the building in excess of $l6,- 900 ought to be consolidated in one claim so that in time one certificate of indebtedness could be issued.-- G.,zette.
