THE POLITICAL SITUATION
Prospects of Republican success Gaod
 All Along The Line.

|
 | WasHIHoroN, D. C., Sept. f, Is97.--
 With the month of September
 comes an awakening in the political
 campaigns in the various states and
 an increased interest in the pros
 pectiye results.
 In Ohio, Iowa, Nebraska, Ken lucky, Maryland, New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts, there arc interesting elections, important in one way or another in their relation to national politics. In Ohio a sen ator is to be elected by the legisla- ture to be chosen; in Iowa there is Co be chosen portion of the legis- lsture which will, two years hence, elect successor to Senator Gear; in New Jersey part of the legislature which elects successor to Senator Smith is to be chosen; in New York the political complexion of Greater New York for an indefinite term is to be determined; in Maryland a legislature which is to select a sue cessor to Senator German will be elected, while in Nebraska the money issue has drawn the line sharply be- tween the fiat heresy and the sound money men of whatever former party.
 Naturally, information from all these states drift to Washington Members of Congress and politi- cians come and go, and from them IS had the best information as to their own states, and concensus Of the general situation may thus be formed.
 That the outlook for republican success everywhere is good, goes without saving. That there is still danger to the party in every state, is equally true.
 Danger in every statei Yes. Dan ger m Ohio, in rock ribbed Iowa, in prosperity blessed Nebraska, ln Kentucky, Maryland, New York eyerywhere.
 Whyg Because there is too much confidence. Because the republi- cans are throwing up their hats and saying, We've got 1t ali our own way tniS tune, uGYS! DecauSe there is danger that the belief that the farmers and the workingmen are employed and happy is going to lead too many republicans to neg feet their duty. That the drift is ali in the direction of republicanism is true. That the people see that Bryan and his party made a deliber- ate effort to deceive them last year is undoubtedly 8 fact. But the democrats are not asleep-they are active, vigilant, and they are con- ducting a still hunt for votes that will surprise the republican leaders unless they awake ard plan to arouse every maa and get him enthusiastic ally into the fight. The tide is all running in the right direction, but l this very fact is liable 10 lead to | neglect on the part of some repub- l licans and 10 dissension in the party 1 ranks elsewhere. And in this there l is danger

Is consumption incressIugi We can unquestionably answer this in the affirmative. In New York, Dr Loomis, city health officer, states that this disease has increased 3C per cent in the last year.
 In California in 1892 it was the cause of over 9 per cent, in 1893, l0 per cent, in 1894, l2 per cent, and iu 1896, we can safely say If per cent of death from all diseases.
 In our warfare against this scourge the old saving, "an ounce of preven- ton is worth a pound of cure be- comes truism. The following meas ures suggest themselves, which ''to know is to avoid.":
 ist. Splitting on the streets.
 Every one seems to think he has an inalienable right to spit on the side walks as early and as often as he can find excuse. Who among us has not been nauseated by the sight of great masses of broken down tissue, mucuous and saliva spatter- ing the side walksl This is bad enough. but watch the beautifully dressed lady dragging her skirts through it, or the child slipping and soiling it's clothing with the same. The air soon dries out the moisture, aud the clothes are brushed at home by some one, and can we ultimately wonder where consumption comes froml All Legislation on earth will not prevent expectoration on the streets; but by constantly calling attention to long street dresses, we may get rid of a senseless and dan gerous fad.
 2d. Investigation of the milk supply by subjecting COWS to in spectiOn by competent physicians looking for ulcers on the udders and using the tuberculosis test if necessary.
 3d. The exclusion from school of all teachers and pupils who are con sumptives.
 Tuberculosis is subject to legal restriction in New York, Pennsyl- vania, Michigan, New Jersey. Ohio, Florida, California and Phenix, Ari- zona. but no reform of this kind has yet reached Prescott.
 l propose at the next meeting of the Yavapai County Medical Society that recommendations looking to this end shall be made to the honor able mayor and city council of this our "pine girt city nestliug m the mountains" CHAs.

WHERE FILINGS MUST RE MADE
The FIrst Document of its Kiad Battered
 at the secretayy's onice.

The bond of C. D. Hoover ss clerk of the district court of the first judicial district for Pima coun- ty was filed m the office of tho ter ritorial secretary yesterday. This is the first document of the kind ever received there. The necessity of recording district clerk's bonds in the office of the secretary seems to have never been discovered until the discovery was made by Judge George R. Davis of the First dis trict. Yet the law provides for fl- ing them nowhere else and does provide by reference to the clause relating to tho supreme court clerks qualifications that district court clerks bonds must be recorded m the office of the secretary. Failure to comply with 1t effects the official acts of the clerks.
 Another matter which IS generally overlooked in the southern part of the territory is the legal necessity of filing articles of incorporation in the office of the secretary. An inn pression seems to prevail that fl the articles are recorded in he office of a county recorder tho incorporation is complete. As matter of fact it is not, and the incorporation is without a legal existence This is pretty generally recognized by at torneys at Prescott anu throughout the north. Nearly al Yavapai county interpretations have cou- piled with the law Phenix RePub- lican.

PLAoERITA, Hodgdon's Camp, Sept. l4.-Rain Rain Rain Who is it that dare assert that Arizona never has rainl Show Inc the man, so can shower some of my exu- berant feelings upon him.
 Why, Hodgdon's Camp and vieini- ty is deluged with water. It has been raining since the eve of Sept. lst up till Sunday morning, Sept. l2th steady with hardly break.
 French Gulch, Hodgdon's Gulch, the Hassayampa, Blind Indian and Milk creeks and all minor creeks and gulches are running full speed. The roar of Arastra creek aud French Gulch's raging torrents can be heard for mile or more.
 Cattle men are rejoicing, as grass IS foot high all through the hills and mountains, and more coming as soon as there is cessation to the
 torm.
 Since the 7th the sun has been seen only at intervals of few min utes at time. Old timers claim this to be the greatest rain this neighborhood has ever seen.
 Jose Maria Garcia, Mexican, had another Mexican named linear Sepeda arrested for petit larceny for the theft of some cord wood. Defendant was given a hearing be- fore Justice Davis, of Walnut Grove on Saturday, Sept i. During the trial it was proven beyond doubt that plaintiff had no wood to steal, defendant being immediately dis missed from custody. Judge Davis has given plaintiff to distinctly un- derstand that in the future 1T the said party ever has another man ar rested on false charges he will give him few Fitzsimmons punches and straight ones at that.
 Ed. Wagoner has gone to Phenix on business.
 Our Honorable Justice Jeff Davis has begged me to to inform his numerous friends that he had been contemplating matrimony. but 1t Is all off now. The fair maiden has gone to her old home in Okla homa. She was employed at Wag- oner's Hotel as chef and never had any idea of the Judges inlatuation. As the Judge is extremely modest and very shy he never could pluck up courage enough to try and pre- vail on her to stay. The judge now finds solace in gazing upon his cari. cature hanging in the postoihce at Wagoner's. c. E. HoDaDoN.

In,errI,r of Lawyers.

 Keeper of Records.

The San Francisco Post, in dis cussing the subject, "The Import
 ance of Honest Lawyers, we'll says: 'That the profession of the law IS so intimately connected with the welfare of the people that 1t IS the duty of the state to look after its integrity and honor. No man should be admitted to the bar who is not a gentleman-a man Of edu- cation and refinement. Per contra. all lawyers who, after admission, de yelop a lack of character and re- spect for the profession should be disbarred.
 The law ought to establish courts of discipline, presided over by the select members of the pro fession, to whom might be submit ted questions involving the integri- ty of attorneys. It would not do to hermit the machinery of these courts to be set in motion by clients for clients, as general thing, TOD their attorneys unmercifully. But some systems might be devised oy which a standard of morals could be established for lawyers and all men kept out of the profession who do not conform to that standard The foundation of every state rests upon the integrity of its bar, Inc lawyers make the laws and admins ter them. It is to them that every body looks for counsel and advice, They are the intellectual flower ol ever community. What is more important than that, they sh3ulo be men of the highest honor, char acter, intelligence and integrity

The Bones of Palmer. Johnson and Ham, mond Recovered and Given
 IutcrFaerf

BULAwATo, South Africa, Aug. g. ] ED. JoURSAL-MiNER l-I am pleased to inform you and the friends of Fl. N. Palmer that bis bones have been brought here, and yesterday at 2:3O p. m. We buried him in the Bulawayo cemetery, the burial service being conducted by the Rev. Temple. of the Wesleyan church. The bones also of Mir. Hammond and W. 5. Johnson came in at the same time, and by my suggestion and the off eials of the Chartered Company, it was agreed that the three unfortu- nate gentlemen be buried in one coffin. as they died together and were found in one spot. In viewing the skulls, 1t looks as though Mir. Palmer been killed with a knob kenie, club used by the natives both in times of war and peace. A native never leaves his krael without this club on ac- count of the protection 1t gives him from wild beasts and also from one another, as their method of settling theig quarrels is a duel with these clubs Mr. Hammond had his skull pierced in two places by battle ax. Mr. johnson's skull was intact. It is presumed that he was assegaied. However. about ali the murderers are here in Balawayo. and five of the most desperate chiefs were brought here this morning. There have been between fifty and sixty mufderers sentenced at this term of court, and they will all be hanged this month.
 Times are hard here and have been iince the close of the war. All com modIties are high and the merchants take every advantage in corneriEg the scof. It is only three weeks ago that Boyr meat sold at twenty-6va pounds for a bag of 200 pounds weight. There IS every evidence of 8 famine coming on among the negroes between the Dumpopo river and the Zambe and 1t means tho death of thousands of children and old men and women that cannot take to the veldt and dig roots and pick the wild fruit.
 We will have the railroad here in November. and the opening eere- monies will take place on the ith of that month, but. notwithstanding the great benefit this railroad will be to Matabeleland, there is no future for this country uatil they start developing the mines, and that will be after the rainy season along in April of 1898.
 I will now conclude. Hoping that your little town of Prescott is flour lshing, 1 remain, yours faithfully,

lHE GOVERNORS REPLY.
To "Buekey'' O'SeilI's ETeIversenoe in
 the Prescott Courier.

To "huckey ONettfs Euerrersenco tn
 the Prescott Courier.
 A reporter of The Republican called upon Governor McCord last evening, and asked him if he had read Buckley" O'Neill's threo col umn article published in Prescott paper. He said he had read the article, but that he did not think any man who would cater to an ele- ment by signing himself as "Buckey" name obtained by his persistency in "bucking the tiger" was scarcely worth noticing. Of course he said he had long known that MT. O'Neill was continually sweating blood in his efforts to lift up the poor labor ing man, and he presumed that the people would believe that he (the governor) was an enemy to labor, notwithstanding he had labored for monthly wages for more than ten years of his fife. The pyramid that Buckley" builds to illustrate the immense fortune that the State of Arizona Improvement Company will make at the, expense of the ter ritory by working the prisoners on the Southern Pacific railroad IS beautiful to behold and quite start ling, but when 1t is considered that the amended contract prohibits any prison labor being used for any pur- pose except work upon the canal, il vauishes from view. It is tbe same with the horrible outrage that IS to be perpetrated upon the territory by compelling the territory to pay s 90 per acre for water whether the territory wants the water or not. The amended contract provides that the territory shall pay for only such water as 1t wants to use aud at a price DO greater than other patrons pay for it,
 These two changes" said the governor, "are in substance about all 'Buckey's' long screed amounts to. or course, Buckley has to elferyesee about so much and SO often, but it has come to be quite an old story and no body pays much attention to hir1. Yes, perhaps did make a mistake in refusing to appoint him as delegate to repre- sent Arizona in the irrigation con- gress, but according to my notion, Buckley is not the right sort of a man to represent Arizona in the irrigation congress or any other con- gress.

An EpsIePsie Fit RndeIy Broken Up by a
 Chinaman.

There is something about the
 Chinese practice of medicine which
 regular physicians do not under stand. Yesterday a man sitting at dinner in the Garden City restau- rant suddenly rose from his chair, screamed and fell backward. At
 first he was believed to be dead, but 1t soon became evident that he was suffering from epilepsy. The excited guests gathered about him, and some sand doctor ought to be sent for. A couple of Chinameu came in from back room with as great un- concern as if au epileptic it were a regular thing on the bill of fare. One of them took tho patient by tine shoulders, the other by his feet, and they carried him into the back yard.
 What ara you going to do with himi' asked a guest.
 We fix him quick" was the on- Tightening reply. One Chinaman procured a dirty outside cabbage leaf. The other pulled half dozen hairs from his own head, and taking the cabbage leaf. rolled 1t closely and wrapped the hairs around 1t. He then rammed tho remedy down the patients throat. The China men said the treatment was intended to promote an active circulation. The intention was fully carried out. Within less than a minute tue vic tim was vomiting. First his dinner came up, then his breakfast: these were followed by "reminiscences of former meals. Bystanders breath lessly awaited the appearance of portions of the mans interior, but they held their own against the extraordinary emetic. The man must have been strongly put to- gether.
 When the vomiting was over, the victim got on his feet, apparently none the worse for the it. He said he was subject to such fits, but he was surprised when he was told that only five minutes ago he was seated at tho dinner table. The fits. he said, usually lasted much longer. He inquired who the doctor was; he wanted 10 thank him for his record breaking service
 When he was told of the means in his resurrection, be said he supposed that he ought 10 feel but he could hardly help that he had ever recov- cred consciousness -Phenix Repub- llcan.

Remarkable opera,lon in Surgery.

A surgical operation, remarkable in itself and wonderful for its solar successful results, has been per formed upon Adrian de Hertoghe veteran and skillful machinist of San Francisco. Fifteen yards of silver wire, as large around as an ordinary hypodermic needle, have been introduced into and coiled within his aorta, the great arterial channel leading directly from the heart.
 Those forty five feet of wire have been in there for three months, and they have saved his life. They were inserted at a time when death seemed certain, because of cCmpli cations resulting from a severely in jured aorta.
 Technically the patients trouble was an aneurism or saculated tumor of the aEterial wall Its develop ment to a rupture of the aorta was only a question of time, with cor tain and instant death as the result The wire was introduced into he distended or abnormal sac formed in the aorta in order partly to 6ll II and form there clot that in time would contract and be absorbed, thereby restoring the channel to its normal formation.

The Great subscription Book of the
 Year

Camping with Grant" by Gen eral Horace Porter, now the Ambas- sador of the United States to the French Republic, published by the Century Co, of New York, may in a sense be considered the comple- ton of the Personal Msmoirs of General Grant While there have been many books written about the great leador, yet there was little which contained a personal flavor until the immortal Memoirs ap- peared. These, however, are cast m a modest mould. and it may be tru- ly said that the personal side of General Grants life was never ade- quately described until General Porter wrote his book
 The author has given his moments of leisure for many years to ar ranging the unique stories of anic- dotes and memoranda written down during his campaign with General Grant. The work is full of delightful personal "reminiscences and stories of General Grant and glimpses of him as he appeared to his most intimate friends during the most evontful years of his life It presents continually changing pictures of rare interest, throwing side lights upon some of the most momentous events of the history of the Civil War.
 Offered to the public by tbe well. known Century Co, it will be com prised in one richly illustrated and beautifully made volume. IL will be in every household where pat rictism and American history are valued. and will become part of every library. Itexhibits traits of General Grants character which give a better understanding of the man than can be gained from any other record.
