Governor Stone Of Pennsylvania
has appointed Matt Quay United
States Senator from that State and
Governor Gage has appointed Dan
Burns Senator for California. Each
failed to be elected by their Legisla-
lures and both were backed by pow
erful political friends. The Senate
has on several occasions recently re-
jected persons so appointed. 1t has
heretofore been held that no vacancy
can be filled by gubernatorial ap-
pointment except in case of the
death or resignation Of the sitting
member, and then only until the con
veniag of the next Legislature. The
action of the U. S. Senate in regard
to seating Quay and Burns will be
anxiously waited for.

The industrial and commecial pro-

The industrial and commecial pro-
gress of Mexico during the past 10
years cannot be explained by our
gold advocates, says the Salt Lake
Tribune. Every little while they try
IL and retire baffied. The memory Of
what this county went through, fl
nancially, between 1890 and 1897,
and the thought that during all that
time Mexico was advancing by leaps
and bounds, distresses them exceed
ingly. There are only about 1900, :
600 enlightened people in Mexico.
The rest are mere poems. Last year
there were extraordinary demands
upon the Government which neces-
STATED heavy expenditures. But
still the natural reyeDue paid them
all and left n million dollar surplus
During the first half OF the present
fiscal year the cash received by the
government in revenue exceeded
$2S, 600, 900, or an increase Of over
81, 100000 over the corresponding
period Of last year. Our neiehbor
is exceedingly prosperous, and we
rejoice at it.

There is no better medicine for the
babies than Chamberlain Cough
remedy. It's pleasant taste and
prompt and effectual cures make it q
favorite with mothers and small chill
dren. In cases OF wheoping cough
it liquefies the tough mucus, making
it easy to expectorate, and lessons
the severity ane frequencp of the
paroxysms of coughing, thus depriv-
ing that disease Of all dangerous re-
suits. For sale by f. NJ. King, drug
