The Coconino sun., 1898-03-05

If the Maine had not been wrecked at all there would be still grave danger of war with Spain. It will be remem- bered that President Mckinley in his annual message to congress notified Spain in plain words of his intention to interfere to bring about peace in Cuba, if the conditions then existing were not soon bettered. We'll, reports of United States consuls in Cuba sent to the state department, which have been asked for by both branches of congress and which are now being held back by the presi- dent for time, show that the cOndi- tiOns in Cuba have steadily grown worse, instead of better, which means that the time for the president to keep his word is now at hand.

Important to Phoenix.

One of the most important events in the history of the territory occurred yesterday afternoon in the final passage of the capitol appropriation bill by con gress. It will be signed by the presi- dent. While this gives the territory u fine building of it's own for legislative and office purposes: while it possibly helps some of the real estate dealers of Phoenix out, etc., etc., it confers booad and lasting benefit on the people of Arizona by removing the capital question from the abuse to which it has been put ever since Arizona became a territory and which has cost the people of the territory hundreds of thousands of dollars, and has been leverage to much of the corrupt legislation that has disgraced the pages of our statutes in the past. Let us be thankful. -Ph9- nix Herald.

The Harrison Act.

Mark Smith in letter to a citizen of Tucson says:
 "I have taken another course to ac- complish the same purpose, not only for Tucson, but for Prescott as we'll. I have introduced bill in both houses and have 1t favorably reported from tho committee of each house and it is now on the calendar of each. which raises the bar of the Harrison act in the case of incorporated cities and towns in the territories when they wish to issue bonds for water works, sewer age and so forth. When the Harrison act ceases to apply there is no limita- tion on the city voting bonds and such bonds as the common council see fit to issue. This will give every relief and can be passed at this session. l hope"

FROST FOR CHICAGO.

Delegation From the West Ignored at
the Greater New York Celebration.
New York, Jan. 4.-One of the most i'm
portant features of the New Years eve
celebration which commemorated the
birth of the new city of New York was
the participation of the delegation from
Chicago.
They had but little'to do, so far as
their part in the celebration was concern
ed, for they merely rode at the head of
the procession, which came down Broad
way from Union square The ride was
not a particularly pleasant one, for it
rained part of the time and the air was
raw with cold and wind. But when
their carriages reached the city hall and
they alighted no one was there to receive
them and they We're compelled to look out
for themselves thereafter
The good Chicagoans were not invited
by Tammany, and at no time during their
stay We're they Tammany's guests.
The subject was brought to the atten-
ton of the delegation shortly after its
arrival at the Everett House on Friday
morning. A gentleman from the Bowery,
wearing a short sack coat, plug hat and
with a tipped up cigar in his mouth step
ped up to c. F. Gunther, member of the
Chicago board of aldermen. Mr.. Gunther
is white-bearded and very digniied.
Hello, old man. said the caller, Civ

affectionate regard on the back. 'How's

TAX AMERICAN WHEELS.
German Government Resolves to Ex-
cIude the Foreign Bicycle.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Several of the con-
suls in Germany have reported to the
state departme that the imperial gov
eminent is seriously considering placing
an almost prohibitory tax on American
bicycles. A law will be passed, they say,
unless the finance ministry earlier decides
that bicycles will have to be graded as
wagons, and taxed accordingly. CONNER
cial Agent Moore at Weimar explains the
situation briefly and neatly by saying:
1.-The agitation for such legislative action
as may result in the exclusion of United
States bicycles has assumed such proper
lions that the increased duty may be con-
IDENTIFY looked for in accordance with the
usual procedure when an American man
ufacturer or American product becomes a
serious competitor in German markets.
The elegance, superior workmanship and
finish of American bicycles have made
their pre-eminence so apparent in spite of
their high cost they have found ready
market in Germany or elsewhere abroad

Itching Piles and Other Rectal Trou-
bles Easily Cured by New
and Safe Method.
A Remarkable Number of Cures Made
bv the Pyramid Pile Cure.

About one person in every four suf-
fers from some form of rectal disease.
The most common and annoying is
itching piles. indicated by warmth,
slight moisture and intense, uncOntrO1l-
able itching in parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or SalVe which some
times give temporary relief, but moth
ing like a permanent cure can be ex-
pected from such superficial treatment
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile
Cure, not only for itching piles, but for
every other form of piles, blind bleeding
or protruding. The first application
gives instant relief and the continued
use for a short time causes a perma-
nent removal of the tumOrs of the
small parasites which cause the intense
itching and discomfort of itching piles.
Many physicians for long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief afford
ed by the Pyramid Pile Cure was be
cause it was supposed to contain CO.
caine, opium or similar drugs, but such
ysis of the remedy showed it to be alb
sOlutely free from any cocane, opium,
or in fact any poisonous, injurious
drugs whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure
is probably the only pile cure extern
sively recommended by physicians, be-
cause it is so safe, so prompt in the re-
lief afforded and so far as known the
only positive cure for piles except
surgical operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure
has become the best known, the safest
and the most extensively sold of any
pile cure before the public.
Nearly all druggists now sell it at so
cents and 81 per package.
Address the Pyramid CO., Marshall.
Mich. for book on cause and cure of
piles and also hundreds of testimonials
from all parts of the United States.
If suffering from any form of piles
ask your druggist for a package of
Pyramid Pile Cure and try it tonight.
