He had been running down in health
and had got so bad o2 that he could no

lungs troubled him; he had bad cough
and night sweats, and chills with fever.

had tried dozens of remedies and many

TIE man who wants an office should
 show by what right or title he claims to
 be supported by the public, says the Tue. son Star. He should show what he has done for the public veal, what he has accomplished by way of public improve
 ments, or wherein he has advanced the public service. Claims to public favor, or public support, should be based on something more than the fact that the candidate has always fed at the public crib, or has everlastingly stood on the street corners, taking the time of busy people begging their support, as beg gar asking aims. Let those who are worthy, those who have earned recog- milton, be preferred to places of public trust. Thus will the public service be improved.

TIE press of Arizona should unite

TIE press of Arizona should unite in
 calling the attention of the postofflcs authorities to the carlessness in regard
 te the distribution of second class mail
 matter. The Phoenix Republican feels the injustice of incompetency and says: :: "The practice that prevails in some Arizona postoffices, of regarding second class mstter of no special importance, must be stopped, and the Republican has addressed itself to the task of stop ping it. There is no reason why news papers sent through the mails should not reach their destination promptly. Carelessness in a postofiice employe is There is good deal of it in this region, and the postofice de- pertinent is duty bound to see that stop is put to it. When newspapers in the mails are accorded as much consid. eration as letters Arizona will have taken distinct step forward. The Re rubllcan will do all that is possible to bring about this desirable condition"

IT is rumored that in the event of Governor McCord becoming "colenel" and soldier, Secretary Akers, who would then be governor, contemplates some radical changes in the way of purifying the party. A partial slate has been decided upon. Regent of the -~vrrINvrcrvyh... ....sr,v5-,r ,rcuInrrr, WHOSe place will DC filled by Dr. H. A. Hughes, of tho defunct Democrat; John w. Dor rington will step down and out to turn the management of the Territorial prison over to George Kelly, of the Sol On onville Bulletin; Randolph of the Republican will take charge of the commissary department of the ''col- onel's" regiment, and the administra- tion organ will go to the management of Tom Parish; the treasnryship will be rendered John Dunbar, but as he has accepted the position of war correspond ,ent for the Tucson Star this plum will doubtless fall into less deserving hands; Franklin, alias Banta, the boiler. plate editor, is not deemed dangerous, having discarded the quill and picked up the saw, so he will be made a notary public--any old thing is sufficient to subsidize Franklin, alias Capt. Banta. Other changes are contemplated, but fearing the "colonel's" patriotism
 might cool down it is deemed advisable to remain mum until he is in the sad. de. The Arizona public will not throw any obstacle in the gallant governors way. but will assist in making his de. parture as speedy as possible.

THE issue before the people is the free and unlimited coinage of silver. The democratic party is for it, the free silver republicans are for it, are populsts are for it. The administration republicans and the present administration are against it. This is the issue upon which the coming campaign will be fought. Let us not lose sight of it. In Arizona there are local issues growing out of the actions of the infamous board of control and other McCord boards which will more solidly array the people of all par. ties of thls gang, every member ot which is declared gold bug.-Courier.

THRoueHour every section of Arizona, east, west, north and south, the people alike are disgusted with the horseplay of the governor, who appears so anxious to go to the front. Daily the cookoo press published string of telegrams showing how he was burning the wires to get commisslon. Now, since reg. iment is formed and colonelcv is ap. parently within reach, he is afraid to go for fear some one else will be chosen governor. The people of Arizona are anxious to have him go to war or any where else so he is jared loose from manipulating the board of control and the loan commission in the interest of those who have questionable or fraud. ulent claims to fund. Should the gov. ernor decide to go there would be royal send off accorded hin and feeling of relief would immediately be felt in all sections of the territory. But it is very doubtful whether he will go. His cuckoo press, from the Tucson Star, Ga zette and Herald down to the Journal Miner, have published the "don't go governor" articles indicating his wish to get out gracefully. No doubt to gov ernor is now praying the war may be over in week so he will not be com. pelled to show his hand. Possibly if he can arrange to hold both jobs and draw two salaries he may become colonel.- Phoenix Enterprise.

GENERAL MILES comes in for his share of criticism for not having hastened the present conflict in many instances, painting the battlefield gory red, and rushing things more satisfactorily to those who remain at home and have constituted themselves boa,d of strat- egy. The civilian, without the slightest knowledge of war, is as harsh on the commander of the army as are many commissioned officers who, actuated by 6 spirit of jealousy. are ready to throw any obstacle in the way of one who has risen from the ranks and did not engage in hazing feats at West Point. So strong is the opposition to General Miles among the army and naval officials that it is surmised that the president cuts no little figure in throwing obstacles in his way, that whatever glory may attach to success will not fall on the man who has forged to the front through merit only, but serve to demonstrate to the public that success in battle depends wholly upon the graduates of West Point. Politics dominate in the navy. military, social, financial, and every branch ot our great republic, and Inc who falls under the ban of the head of either department is in deed unfortunate. Merit is ol little avail; the person with the strongest ."pull" gets the coveted prn US has bsen evidenced in Arizona, ore we have an unapproachable CD vernon, who consults the people, his coa eience, and then his party, aud acts Joriiug to tho dictates ci tho latter,

ment are offered, and full credit given for
all courses completed. 1t gives every ad>
vantage offered by the regular semester-a
strong faculty, thorough educational work
and free use Of library and laboratories

ampled and golden opportunity to secure a
half years schooling in recognized high
grade institution at little expense and under
most favorable conditions.
