Costly Pipes.

Among the pipes shown at jewelry establishment was one of meerschaum, with an amber mouthpieoe, the bowl being crowned with a gold mounting that covered the rim around the top and extended down the sides to the depth of perhaps a quarter of an inch below the edge. On top the mounting was fiat and smooth; below the edge. on the sides, 1t was etched. The price of this pipe was Sl10. The owner of pipe with gold rim around the top might smoke it. or it might be that he would let it lie on his table.
 Jeweled pipes are not m article oi common sale, but they arc not so un- common as to be remarkable. Such pipes are usually mounted to order, and they arc probably always bought for gifts They are variously mounted, sometimes with band of diamonds and rubies around the bowl at the top, some times diamonds are set around the stem where the mouthpiece joins it A jew eled pipe may cost s25O
 Silver mounted meerschaum pipes as s5O arc articles of regular sale There are pipes of this sort at prices ranging from s2O to $75 These are not carved pipes, but usually perfectly plain They are of the finest materials and work manship and of fine designs
 There are perfectly simple little brier pipes with a plain silver mounting and amber mouthpiece that sell at sl5, but the brier is the very choicest and hand somest, the amber mouthpieoe of the finest quality and joined to the pipe by a lock stem, and all the workmanship on the pipe IS of the best They are the very finest of brieE pipes New York Eun

A BIT or RECENT HISTORY

Wonder fl those democrats who are boastiug about their party forc- ing President Mckinley into the war with Spain. have forgotten that the little republic of Hawaii, re cently annexed to the United States once completely bluffed out a democratic President of the United Statesi It is a matter of Hawaiian history that on April l, lS93. the American flag was hauled down from a government building in Honolulu, by orders of Commissioner Blount, acting under instructions from President Cleye- land On December l9, 1893, Minis ter Willis demanded of President Dole. "in the name aud by authority of the United States of America, that he promptly rehnquish the government to LiIiuokalani.' Min ister Willis was also acting under instructions from this self same democratic President On Decem- Der g, or four dsys after the above ultimatum had been sent % Pres dent Dole, the latter very firmly re- piled that he refused To comply with tbe demand. Tdi, Is a fair sample of the foreign policy and statesmanship of the only demo cratic President lhe country has had for nearly forty years. Probably, fl the forcing process of the demo- cratic party had been brought to bear upon him. he might have at tempted to enforee his very silly demand

THE PASSING OF MARK SMITH

For ten years Mark Smith has drawn the salary as delegate to con gress from Arizona. It would not be true to say he has represented Arizona during all those years, for while he has been the legal repre- sentative. he has been SO in no other sense. During the lime NIT. smith mas been drawing the salary as Ari- zona's representative, the people oi the territory haze been struggling along under territorial vassalage and praying for the boon Of state hood. During those years, they have seen North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Washington, Wy oming, idaho and Utah admitted to the Union, and given all the priyil- aces of sovereign states, not one oi which were more entitled to adnis sion than Arizona. Why is iil Is if because those states have had wi6c awake. able snl efficient dele oate,7 That IS exactly the answer Those sayen stste2 today have four teen United States senators, and exercise a potent influence m snap ing the legislation of the country Arizona today is as well entitled to a place in the sisterhood Of states as any of the seven that have been ad- mitted since Mark Smiths incum- bancyuf the delegateship aud better than some of them.
 Why, we ask again, has aHzona been left outi Four of those states were admitted while the democrats were in power ard three while ;he republicans were in power. Why is Arizona ai- ways left outf It seems to us there can be but one answer. We have had an inefficient delegate. Will Arizona continue Co be blind 10 her own interests, and for the sake Of allowing Mark Smith to draw the salary, continue to send a representa- tive to Washington who is powerless to accomplish anythingi If we are to have a democratic representative, for the sake of the welfare of Ari- zona. let us have s man that can accomplish something. That IS not Mark Smith.

A SILLY DECLARATION.

One of the declarations of the Maricopa county democratic plat form is as follows: The war which has added to our territorial area and made us respected throughout the world, was forced upon the admiuis- tration by democrats in Congress" Wonder how the rank and fife of the democracy ot the above county ap- preciates such silly twaddle as the foregoing. If democrats were so eager for war with Spain, why i'd they not force their own stuffed prophet" to go to war; Every scEocl boy in the land knows that the late war was forced on the administra- ton by Spain, and not by the demo cratic party of the Limited States. The latter tried to force the admin istration into war before it was pre- pared, but signally failed. The tact with which the preliminaries were managed by President Mckinley, and the firm stand taken by him to postpone the declaration of war until fully prepared to meet the condi- tions, have won for him the admira tion of the world. The speedy ter imitation of hostilities has been due to the fact that he waited until be got ready to lick Spain. and then did it. Maricopa county democrats will not win many votes on the strength of the above assertion. unless there is a dsnser ignorance among the people there than We think there ia.

A FORECAST OF THE FUTURE.

Thos. Do'an, of Philadelphia, one of the leading street car magnates of this country, was one of the Grst men to give forecast of the hnaD- cial storm ahead of the country in 1892, who. in a speech at the Clover Club, in New York City, made a forecast ot the national situation and prospects, that attracted wide spread attention and comment at the time. NIT. Dolau was interviewed in New York recently, and among other things, stated that this coun- try had gone through a very trying period since that time, and that 1t was remarkable how he people had pulled through so we'll since 1883

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 ths: is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an in6amed condition of the mu- cous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube gets inAamed, you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be etaken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dol lars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars, free.
