Degrading a French Soldier

The degradation of the soldier Jeannin
took place at the Ecole Militaire the other
day. Jeannin is the soldier who was con-
demned to death for, while drunk. strik-
ing an officer, the sentence afterwards being
reduced to ten years penal servtude. The
ceremony of degradation was reduced to its
simplest proportions; but was bad enough
at that. Driven up in an ordinary prison-
ers' wagon from the Cherche Midi prison.
he got down into the Fontenoy courtyard
at quarter to g. Escorted by two gems
darmes he was led out before the troops,
comprising $50 infantry and so cavalry. An
adjutant of the Garde Repubilcaine per-
formed the ceremony-cutting of the butt
tons, kick. and so forth. and with drums
beating Jeannin was led back to the ptis-
oners wagon. Jeannin is said to have been
very good soldier and would certainly not
while sober have struck superior. But he
has got ten years imprisonment and pub
lie degradation-as an act Of mercy-for the
offense.-Daily Messenger of Paris.

When the TRIBUNE asserted that not a Union soldier was holding Federal position in the Territory of Arizona, it meant, as any sensible man might have known, by Presidential appointment. It is barely possible that some gallant old soldier, who fought and bled that the nation might live," may be sweep ing out some of the numerous Federal offices in this territory; and that is all the use the Republican party will have for the Rough Riders, after 1t gets into power on the prestige of their glorious achievements. But that time will never come.

H. D. CAssIDAY, as District Attorney of this county for the past two years, has proven himself the right man for the position, and no man could have more carefully guarded the county's interests. As legal adviser of the Board of Supervisors, this office is most important to the taxpayers, and it is largely through his efforts that expenses have been reduced and the eounty's finances have been placed in such satisfactory condition. An in- debtednass of $S500 left over from 1896 has been paid off, and the running ex- penses of the county government have been reduced more than $6000-all of which speaks we'll for county admin istration democratic in every depart ment. Most of the credit for such a state of affairs is due to the able and honest management of our District Attorney, and he ought to be proud to go before the people for reelection on such a record. That he will be triumphant on the 9th of November there is not the shadow of doubt. With R. ". Kersey and J. F. Mayhew as Supervisors, and George F. Cook the hold-over member, the Board will be composed of honest, reliable and thorough business men from different sections of the county; md with Mir. Cassiday to advise them on legal points, the taxpayers heed have no fear but what their interests will be as care fully guarded as during the past two years,

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an unframed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed you have a ruinbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an indamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

w. c. TRUMAN will as certainly be reelected as that the sun will set on the evening of November 9th. He has made faithful and efficient officer, and the people have no desire to make change at this time. As to the charge that he will control all the officials, from councilman to constable" ]" it is too silly to merit even passing notice. MT. Truman has no desire to control any other office than his own, and that he does most effectively. Neither arc the other candidates on the Democratic ticket men who will allow themselve: to be controlled by anybody.

The Republican Territorial plat form, so-called, says: "We point with pride [mark the word-prideI to the wise and efficient administration of public affairs in this Territory under Republican officials" This needs no comment. The brazen effront- cry here displayed by the political mountebanks who, by their own public confession, view with pride the per petual steal which has been perpetrated on the people of Arizona for the past two years, makes every honest Re- publican sick at heart. The perfidy of the Arizona wing of the c. o. P. will turn hundreds from its ranks this fall. -[ Yuma Sun.

Why is it that in 1896, under the ad- ministration of Democratic governor, the tax levy was only 72 cents for ter ritorial purposes, and under Gov. Mur- phy with an increase of approximately say $4,000,000, the rate is 80 cents for territorial purposes? Why is it that under Hon. Mike Nugent, a democratic superintendent, the per capita for maintaining the territorial prisoners was only 371a cents, and under the management of republican, J. W. Darlington, in 1898, the expense ac- count reached per capita of 80 cents per diem Why were there more es- capes from the prison in six months of the present year than for the same time under any former administration ?

As well might the Republicans say that the issue before the people in the present campaign is on the mathematical axiom that two and two are four" as to assert that statehood is the issue. As General Wilson asserts. 1t requires difference of opinion to make an issue, and on the statehood question all parties are on the afIirma- tive side of the proposition. It is only another effort to blind the people to the real issue before them, which is the free coinage of silver. Are the Re- publicans afraid of their declaration for single gold standard?

GENERAL WILSON struck the key note Tn his speech Wednesday night and defined the issues clearly that exist between the two parties. His speech was listened to attentively by the largest audience that has assembled in Florence in years, and won for him a host of adherents. Col. Brodie's managers have seen the uselessness of his coming here and have not given him date in old Pinal, the only county in the territory which he will not visit. It is just as well, as our people are not to be fooled by his pretcnded issue of statehood.

Talk about the Repu blican party be- ing the friend of the old soldier, look at this:
 "When our war with Spain com menced it was necessary to employ a large number of extra clerks in the War Department. Secretary Alger issued an order, whereby no one over thirty-fve years of age should be appointed. This was done for the sole purpose of excluding the old soldiers, many of whom were ex- perienced men and had applied for ap- pointment. If these positions were filled by the veterans, it would have left no place for political appointments.
 Hence the subterfuge of an age limit of thirty-five years. This rule excluded every man who fought in the war of 1881. The veterans at the National Capital are up in arms over this injustice, and are exposing tue outrage"
