Constipation means not only unhealthy

tion poisonous to the entire body. 1t gen.
crates foul gases which poison the stomach,
liver. heart, kidneys and blood, thus de-
ranging the whole system. Moreover, 1t
causes a paralysis In the muscular struct-
ure Of the bowels, hence chronic coustipa-
ton ensues with all It's accompanying evils.
A simple cathartic Is only a temporary
benefit. What is needed to permanently

bowel structure and restore natural
peristaltic movements. PRIcKLY ASH BIT

tones up the stom ach and when there is
any kidney arrangement it promptly

THURSDAY EVENING. APRIL s, 1897,
A LESSON TAUGHT,

The city election In East Las Vega
has a lesson or two, which 1t will b.
well for party leaders OF all kinds no
to forget. One OF these Is that the de
mand for the free coinage Of silver
aud the belief in 1t rs The remedy fol
existing hard times, are as strongly
e%ntrenched In the hearts OF the people
as they were last fall. Whether we'll
founded or not, the opinion prevailed
that DIR. f. E. Oiney was being op.
posed by the leaders Of the republican
party, because of his active participa,
tion on the side of silver in the Novem.
Der campaign. This led to the rally
ing Of the silver element, almost to .
man and they being the more numsr
Gus, his election was assured. 1t will
be well for party leaders, in the fu.
ture. to remember that the silver sentI
ment of this community cap be neither
ignored nor prosecuted.
Another lesson is that party names
have lost their power to command allie.
glance, In city elections, where nc
p%,lItical principles are involved.
The demand that every man should
stand by his party and vote the party
ticket, fell upon needless ears; and
nine-tenths of those who voted, did SO
from considerations totally unpolitical.
And just here it may be said that 1t is
doubtful il any other man could have
been placed at the head Of the ~republi-
can ticket, who would have brought 10
it as many votes as did Chas. II. Spor-
leder. His personal popularity is
large; the confidence in his integrity
and intelligence is not surpassed; his
friends are as numerous as the list of
his ac%quaintances. Bat against this,
came DR.. O.ney's very excellent record
for activity and zsal in the city's cause,
during b two years OF his occupancy
OF off 20, aud the honest doubt whether
MIR. Sporleder could givs to the office
the time and labor which d.. O,ney
had bestowed with such uns:inted hand.
Then. too, Mr.. Sporledsr was seriously
handicapped by some OF those who
were working in his cause. 1t is need
less to enlarge on this point. 1t Is well
understood that some of the work,
done professedly in Mr.. Sporleder's
interest, lost him more votes than il
made. However, the election is over,
an excellent list of officials has been
chosen, and now let every one get
down to business. to make the year
1897 8. the most prosperous our little
city has ever known.

The proposed change of name, for
the Incorporated town, heretofore
known as East Las Vegas, carried on
Tuesday, almost unanimously. This
was expected, and The OPTIc is heart
lily glad Of it. That we should have
two towns, whore no natural barrier
exists, is absurd to think of, and
damaging in reality. Las Vegas should
be, and must be, o town, or else we
will never have the prosperity our loca-
ton and naturally promise
n; and THE OpTIC looks upon the
dropping Of the word East from the
incorporated part Of our little city, as
a long step towards unity, and as a
great victory in that cause.
1t is manifest to any ore who will
think for a moment, that the old town
cannot 60 on forever, under county
government. The time must COM
when city government will be a
necessity IN the west bank Of the
Rio Gallinas. Now, when that time
comes, only one Ct three things must
follow: The old town must incor.
porate as Las Vegas, the new town re.
maiuing as East Las Vegas. and thus
the existence OF two rival and hostile
towns be perpetuated, with all the
necessary and resulting evils; or the
old town must comelinto the incorpo-

Las Vegas at all, which would DO alb
surdly ridiculous; or. in the third
place, East Las Vegas must drop Its
locel'title and unite with the old town
as Las Vegas.
This step Is what tho east side has
just taken. She has again become a
part OF Las Vegas, and THE orric
says, "What God hns jolned together.
let no man put asunder:'i We will
no longer have two towns; there will
be only Las Vegas. That a part Of
Las Vegas is Incorporated and . part
not Incorporated, need cut no figure at
all. Such condition is not without
parallel In even the great city of Lon
don, England. More or less OF Las
Vegas can be Incorporated as the Poo
pie may desire; but the possibility Of
opposing corporations has been re-
moved by Tuesdays action. In the
cause of harmony, unity and prosper
ity, THE OPrIo thinks the change
every way to be commended.
The post office department an
nounces that 1t has been victimized
by fourth class postmasters who desire
to keep their Offices 'sin the family"
During the latter part Of last year,
hundreds Of these officials all over the
country resigned. and recommended
that the be supplied by the
appointment of some near relative.
This was generally done, and a four.
year commission issued to the person
recommended. OF course, the repub.
lican "workers'' are raising q row,
aud IRE said to have persuaded the
department that il is Its duty to bounce
the officials who got in by such a tran
sparent subterfuge. The post Office
department people under the Cleveland
administration are admitted to have
been ignorant of the extent TO which
the conspiracy was being carried
on, as each Ease was examined separ-
ately, and the new commissions issued
on the recommendation Of the retiring
postmasters, in accordance with the
custom for many years. That the
Ohio democrats are as keen at retain
ing offices as their illustrious repub-
lican brethren are at seeking them Is
shown in the fact that over one thous-
and Of these partisans made sure Of
"keeping post Offices in the family"
during Mckinley administration, so
far as the possession Of four.year COM
missions in the names OF relatives
would enable them to hold on.

Although every preparation has been
made for the execution, Of James NJ, Gordy

probable that Governor Tunnel will ap.

tiun of Gordy will bo illegal.
Walter Bacon has possibly tho strongest
doubts as to the propriety of the execution
In view of the change In the constitution
OF the State. He says: 1t will be illegal
from the fact that the execution Of a
criminal should take place under the Same
organic law of the State under which his
crime was committed aud his trial had
Every prisoner in the State of Delaware

the fundamental rights of tho convict in

He cannot be hung under the old con.
stitution because the Governor Of tho

on by half dozen othel lawyers.
Deputy Attorney General Cooper who
figured largely in Gordy's conviction
would say nothing about tho matter, ad-
hitting however, thatIhe new constitu.

New York, June A call has beer
issued for meeting Of the Trunk Line
Executive Committee In this city next
Tuesday for the purpose OF considering
number Of important matters CHIEF
among which is the application Of the
Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad for an In.
crease of its percentage Of west bound
business.
The Baltimore & Ohio's application Is
the result Of the special conference In this
city last Tuesday, at which Presidents
Dcpew, of New York Central, and Thorn
son, Of the Pennsylvania and Receivers
Cowen and Murray, of the Baltimore 81
Ohio, were the conspicuous figures.
At that conference the receivers Of the
Baltimore & Ohio advocated an increase
of the allotted percentage Of the west
bound business from "A to 10 per cent
This was based on the improved facilities
OF that company, which, 1t was held, en-
titled it to greater share of the business.
