Amer!ca,s Preferred Class.
[From the Los Angeles Tlmes.l

An interesting case is on at Fort Crook, Neb., the essence of it being the question whether private soldiers can be compelled to perform menial duties for commissioned officers. The matter has been taken out of the military do- main and into the courts, the,action be- ing to release from custody in the guard
 house five men who are under thirty days sentence, not for refusing toclean an officers quarters, mind you, but be- cause they requested the privilege of laying the grievance before the com manding officer of the post. If themen who wear shoulderstraps are so high and mighty that the soldiers under them may not even offer protest whea they think they are being imposed upon, the country would like to know it. It is essentially a soldiers business to obey orders, but when a squirt of lieutenant or captain demands that the-men under him shall carry his slops and perform the other duties Of menial we believe he has a right to protest, ard the officer who sends them to the gusrd-house be-. cause of it is 8 cad who deserves to be eourt-martialed. The people who sup port the army of the United States win watch this case with interest.

The Governor Criticised.
From the Globe Silver Belt.l


 The late grand jury of Gila county makes the following timely protest against the immoderate use of the pardoning power as practiced in this Territory:
 "Also in our capacity as grand jurors we desire to enter protest against the aouse of the pardoning power, as exer- eised by the present Governor of the Territory and some of his predecessors fin office, We find by Governor Frank lin's report of pardons granted by him from April IS, 1896, (when he assumed the discharge, of his official duties) up to the close of the year 1896, he caused so he issued thirty pardons and commu- tations of sentences to convicts incar- cerated in the Territorial prison After considering the reasons stated by the 1 Governor for such executive clemeucy we are firmly of the opinion that a majority of the pardons granted were ill-advised and nnwarranted. In many
  eases men convicted of heinous crimes were pardoned when their terms of i'm pEjsonmept were about to expire for the purpose, es stated, to restore citizen ship. This pernieious practice, we hold. cannot be too severely eoudemned-for what reason is there to expect that per petrators of infamous crimes can De eleansed of their moral depravity through human forgiveness and made good citizens? We cannot hope to maintain law and order in our con- munities If criminals are to be turned loose upon us and restored to all the immpnities and privileges of upright citizens. Furthermore, it should be borne in mind that laws. are enacted, courts conducted and jails and peniten- tiaries are maintained at enormous ex- pense in order that crime may be put down and the law abiding citizen pro- tected in his property and person, A proper regard for the welfare and good name of Arizona should deter the Gov ernor from the exercise of the pardon ing power save in extreme cases where proof is furnished and the prisoner is innocent of the crime of which he was convicted.
 Petitions of citizens and of court of ficials are generally relied upon to ss- cure pardons, and often cited by the Governor as sufficient reason or excuse for granting clemency We would sug- gest that far more reliable evidence of the prisoners guilt or innocence is the stenographer's report giving yer batim the evidence adduced in the trial, and which should be mainly relied upon by the Governor in passing upon appli- cations for pardon"

Deafness is caused by an inhamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Bus tachian Tube. When this tube is in- famed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever F nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrhs which is noth- ing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
