Who Win be OUT Next PresIdentl

Politicians are now planning for the presidential campaign of l900, but the war has so overshadowed all other matters that politics is almost un- noticed. Many people are of the opin- ion that the candidates will be the same as in 1896, but there may be a ''dark horse" who will win the race. Popularity has much to do with csndi- dates. This is also true with medicine. The most popular remedy to-day is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and ii has retained this for many years. Science never discovered the equal oi this medicine for stomach, liver and kidney diseases. It builds up solid flesh tissue, imparts vigor and vitality to all organs, and makes life worth liv- ing. A bottle will make d big change foi the better. 1'rp 1t.

Braay's sDaAscstIon.

It is said that one must go away
 from home toiegrn the news, which
 is sufficient excuse for publishing the 1 following from the Tucson Frontier: l Word comes from Florence that the ex-county treasurer is in jail. He was contemplating Q trip to the sea coast
 and had his passes, but the route was changed. dis bondsmen got tired of his actions and talk and withdrew from 1 his court-bond. short time ago we
 wrote to one of the Florence sureties. on the ex-treasurer's official bond and suggested that he examine the sworn
 report of the supervisors and district attorney as't to the amount and kind of cash.enhand at the previous examina-
 tion, about April 1st. That six thous- and dollars could have been stolen be- tween April and July l seemed in- cemprekensible, and, in the light of other events, absurd. Having failed to make his shortage good for the July examination the question occur red, how did he fix things in April? - The statutes of Arizona provide that couuty treasurers must keep county funds in the safe provided for them by ehe supervisors. This is ono of these deed-letter laws, but usnslly the money Is within reach iu the bank. Hlorenca has no bank, so Finals cash, to B gseat extent, was deposited iu TucsoaA By allowing the treasurer to ignore the .iaw, the supervisors and other exs anining officers were compelled to break it. In enumerating the "cash,oa hand" the board accepted and counted Statement" from the bank. This gave the treasurer his opportunity. All he needed to do was to. alter the bank statement to suit the deficit. Information is received that the bank report of the treasurer's. balance on April lst was raised. about $6,000. This is good sample of the style of examinations by grand iuries and boards. In the 6ust place. the bank. statement should. never have been considered. If considered. then the board should have taken extra precau- tons to protect the county. If lack of express and railroad dfacilities,made itI unduly dangerous. to bning or keep all county funds Florence, then the law should have been changed. A Acertified check, a cashier's certificate ofdeposit, verified by wire on the day of ex- amination-is the least the board should have been. satisfied. with under the circumstances. That they took a mere "statement," without verihca-
 tion, and with changes in it by an un- expert had, goes to condemn, the
 simplicity" of the examining officials.
 Tke democratic board. and district at-. torney of Pima almost equalled the feat
 when they counted tax receipts in the hands of our county treasurer as cash ,, in January year ago. Public busi-
 ness will, however, be run.right, and ou- the same principles ss private bnsi-
 ness, eventueIlg That is, whens the. people get it in the neck so often and hard that the neck will get unhearabiy sore. Then.itwill chenge-fova brief ! period.

 Eccidency.

[Promthe Phoenix Enterprise.l
 His aecidency made some charactes- istic appointment yesterday. To the irrigation congress that meets at Mis- soula, Montana next month, he ap- pointed the following: 4. J. Chandler of the Consolidated canal, J. K. Doolit- tie of the Rio Verde canal w. A. Hancock, of. .the Aqpa Eriacsnsl. C. j. Hall hlatareceaver of tisa Arizona canal, and Apare4g Kimhan of the Enter price canal of Graham county. These corporations also have right under the call for the convention to appoint one delegate each, so that the canals VIII 1G well represented. But where do the people get a chance to be heard ln others states and territories the governors have heretofore selected the delegates to be appointed by himself from the eranks of the people. But our .accidenay no doubt thinks. the. people have DO rights or interests in the mat ter that corporations are bound to respect. The governor has shown by these appointments that no interests in the territory except the canal interests should be. seppessuted; the people should not considered. But then it would be folly to expect corporation tool to recognize any other but cor poration interests. How long, o Lord, must poor old Arizona endure this ac- cidental sfHictiou.
