A DVspepsia Cure.

We publish an advertisement of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure in our col umus this issue, and wish to say tO our patrons that we believe this preparation is worthy of a trial oy any person suffering from this agoniz,ng complaint. We honestly believe this preparation will do for you all the manufacturers claim for it.
 Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is prepar- ed by the we'll known and reliable firm of E. c. Dewitt & Co.,. Chicago, and from our long experience in a business sense, with this firm as sd- vertisers, we feel safe in saving that they would not place on the market preparation for the cure of dys- pepsia unless they had a remedy oi the highest merit, and conscient- iously believed it would cure this we'll known ana almost universal complaint.
 We further add that if this prepa- ration is equal to the other we'll known remedies which they make, viz: DeWitt's Little Early Risers, DeWitt's Witch Hazel Sslve, and One Minute Cough Cure, 1t will speedily win its way into public favor.
 We cheerfullY and heartily give our personal endorsement to this concern, and the reliability of the goods they manufactur, which have been largely the means of their sue cess, and in writing this voluntary endorsement on our part, we feel that we are simply performing a duty which We owe to our patrons.

About Illegal Enclosures.

Mir. Holsinger, United States spec ial agent of the general land office, was questioned today by a repre- sentative of the JoURNAL-M MINER as to an order, said to have been re- ceived by him from the general land office, directing proceedings agairst illegal enclosures in the southern part of the territory. He admitted having received suck orders and stated that notices would be issued at once giving parties maintaining such enclosures 60 days in which to remove their fences.
 "I will say, however," said Mir Holsinger, "that the report that I have stated that 1t would require a few troops of cavalry to enforce the departments order IS entirely with out foundation. 1 have no fear of there being any serious trouble over the fence matter. Several parties maintaining these enclosures have already expressed their willingness to comply with the law and remove their fence within the specified time l do not believe any of these people would be so foolish as to resist the authority of the government.
 "The law against illegal fencing has never been enforced in the ter ritory, but the citizens who erected these fences knew that sooner or later the government would enforce this law. They have enjoyed the profits from these enclosures for years and have no cause for com plaint. They must submit to the inevitable. The advance of civiliza- tion will not brook Instructions which prevent the settlement of the public domain, especially when the law fOrbids these distractions. l have no doubt but the order will be enforced"

r1,.nh.,h Cromwell.

Cromwell legends are so ubiquitous in England that 1t Is a real relief to lay one's hand upon bit of solid fact re- lating either to the protector or his family. Elizabeth, the second and ia vorite daughter of Cromwell, married John Claypole of NorthbOrough, and appears 10 have spent a considerable portion of her 12 years of welded life in his substantial fourteenth century house. Carlyle asserts Elizabeth Clay pole Co have been "a graceful, brave sud amiabIe woman, and of her home that it is "now ruiDed-patohed into a farmhouse.
 The second statement is not charac- terized by his usual accuracy, and the frs. probably needs some modification, for Elizabeth Claypole is credited with some turning of her head over her fA- tber's elevation, and at 6 wedding feast is reported to have exclaimed, when asked why the wives of the major generals were absent, "I'n warrant you, washing their dishes at home, as they used to do. Not a particularly "amiable" sentence that
 Cromwell seems to have had some insight of her little weakness. Tell her, be wrote once. Ito take heed of a departing heart and of being cozened with worldly vanities and worldly com pany, which, doubt, she is too subject to" It is agreed by most authorities that John ClAypole himself was little enough of a Puritan, but let it stand tC his credit that after Oliver died, he provided haven for his widow for the rest of her life in this manor house.

The captain falls in love with the young woman, and from this point there is not a moments cessation in the TO- mantle adventures which ensue in the castle, its gardens and neigh boring places of rendezvous.

They Deserve It All.

The following from the Chicago Record will be of much interest to the Rough Ri iiers of Arizona.
 "ROosavelt's Rough Riders are to be allowed to put their hands into the governments money bags and draw two months extra pay. At least this is the construction placed bv focal army officers on the opinion of the assistant cOILp' roller of the treasury received yesterday at army headquarters by Major Tucker, chief paymaster of the department of the lakes.
 1t was supposed that because the Rough Riders were mustered out before the passage of the act they did nos come under this provis- ion. Now, however, the treasury department, according to the army officers, construe the act to include ROosevelts famous command.
 The decision Is regarded as ap- plying particularly to the Rough Riders, as the extra pay granted to the other volunteers under the act of March 3, is not in question. The other volunteers had Deitber received two months furlough or two months extra pay. The Rough Riders were the only command left out in the cold"

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM,

Talk about Governor Murphy be- ing responsible for the failure of the democratic members of the last leg islature to fulfil their ante-election promises and pledges, on the con- trary he was the means of aiding them in doing so. An attempt was made to introduce an initiative and referendum plank in the territorial democratic platform. It met with the most violent opposition from delegates and met with overwhelm- ing defeat, only one or two Of the delegates supporting 1t, showing very clearly that the measure was pot a democratic one. Such plank was introduced in the republican platform and the party weRt before the people boldly advocating 1t. It met with the same fate at the polls that it did in the democratic con yention, the vote showing that the people of the territory did not favor it. In spite of the negative position of the democratic party on the ques- ton, a bill providing for it was in- troduced and passed by democratic votes, in direct opposition to the will of the party as expressed ID their convention, as we'll as in direct opposition to the will of the majority of the people as expressed at the polls. While the veto of the meas ure by Governor Murphy may have been in harmony with his views on the subject, even had. he been m favor of it, he was amply justified in vetoing the measure, thereby assist ing the democratic members 10 keep their promises and pledges, as well as to force them to respect the will of the people which was unreserved- ly and unquali6edly opposed to the initiative and referendum, as eX- pressed by their votes.

Barbers on the Ocean.

One of the most important persons on board well equipped ocean liner is the barber If he is gifted with good busi- ness instinct, be Is in position to make a good deal of money.
 To the average man shaving while at sea IS a difficult and hazardous opera tion. He therefore calls into acquisition the services of the ships barber, a man who by long training is qualified to wield the razor with skill and safety. no matter how much the vessel rolls or pitches.
 He is always one of the most heavily tipped" officials on the ship If the ship travels on a route with interesting ports of call, the ships barber makes it his business to lay in stock of native knickknacks and curios of all kinds.
 The inexperienced traveller is natu- rally a little suspicious of the native peddlers who swarm on board with their wares directly the ship is at anchor. He prefers to purchase his memeutos of foreign travel of the barber, who, hay ing bought his stock at wholesale rates, is able 10 retail the various articles to passsn2ers at prices little if at all high CT than those charged by the native tradesman.

A vieious Attaek on a speeIaI Agen.

The Williams News takes occasion to make very bitter attack on Special Agent $. J. Holsinger, of the interior department. The article is copied in our Prescott contemporary without comment. The charges made against the special agent are general aud not specific in their character. Among other things mentioned in the article is the fol- lowing:
 ''The writer is personally acquaint- ed with Hon. Binger Herman, general commissioner of tbe U. $. land department, and can state clearly that 1t IS not the intention of the department to do other than prevent fraud in filings, but the de- pertinent is iucuTring bitter hatred from the people of this section, and 1t IS sincerely hoped by the few peo- pie who do underst and the true condition of affairs, that the honor able commissioner will dispose of some ot these grafters and put ID men-tLat right will be done both  the government and the people"
 -The writer" of the article showed a woful ignorance of the subject be wrote about, as Special Agent W. r. Hermann, of the interior depart ment, a brother of Commissioner Hermann, was with Special Agent Holsinger in making the investiga- tions around Williams and reported number of the cases himself. The two special agents only compiled with their instructions from the general land office in making their investigations.
 The writer also contradicts him self in saying that he has caused pooI men useless expense and trouble to retaln their claims, and has caused many to lose their places entirely" and with the next penfull of ink says that several homestead CTS have lately gone against him ID the land courts and won, which Is s righteous victory for the people" l"
 From a personal acquaintance oi MT. Holsinger, the fact has been i'm pressed upon the mind of the editor of the JOURNAL MINER, that he IS a conscientious, honest man and if only discharging his duty, and has no desire to injure or hsrass any | OnR

 To meet the demands of couservs tive thinking people who can plainly see the future of this lovely city, Kilroy's New Palestine will build twenty brick cottages on lots 5O1l30 sample cottages to be seen on ThIrd avenue, corner Grant street, inside property-which can be rented or purchased (at about $700 each) on the instsllmept plan, monthly pay ments. To families living in any other part of Arizona, the United States or Canada, that have investi- gated the merits of the Salt River valley this offers something hereto fore unknown in this country, viz, that they can invest in one of these lovely homes, paying for it monthly, say S or S9 per month. If they are not ready to come to Phoenix at once the New Palestine will take charge of their interest, renting the same for at least $l0 per month, thus mak- ing their tenant pay the installment (monthly) and taxes, in other words they, the purchaser, (while not living in Phoenix) will be securing a lovely home in reality free of charge. of which they can avail themselves later on, either by selling or holding. Hundreds of letters from thinking people in the United States and Can ada warrant us in adopting this plan. Write for particulars.

It lies in the very heart of the manu- featuring and resident district, viz, on Center street, First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh avenues, and is the only sanitary severed tract in or to the city. Vacant lots, 50I130, are still offered at $65 to S2O0 each, monthly installments s to S10, without in terest. The New Palestine tract alone advertises its terms and prices in the daily press, so that he who reads can know for himself without the aid of the Phoenix curbstone real estate or commission man, to which our office pays no tribute.

Albnouero,o v.;u hold c;,v elec.

Albuquerque will hold a city cleo ton on Tuesday, April i.
 MT. Bryan acts as though he was convinced that the next president would be William Mckinley.
 There Is a friction in the ranks of the New York dollar banqueters, and the latest announcement is that there will be two Sl dinners.
 No democrat has right to object to telling whether he is the one or the ten dollar kind; others have the right to ask for this identification.
 Mir. Bryan has consented to ban. quet with Jeffersonian democrats at Topeka, Kansas, but draws the line at the New York Jefersonians.
 Ex-Congressman Haynes, of Ohio, who is a democrat of the sound money brand, recently said: "I do not believe the democrats could win next year, even if they waived or avoided the free silver issue"
 Col. Watterson displayed his abil- ity to correctly read political signs when he predicted that the demo cratic party would have a succession of squab5les within its ranks like the one now raging.
 The latest bit of democratic gall IS the announcement that the dollar Bryan dinner to be given by New York Jawsmiths is to be labeled "Workingmen's JeTersonian Din ner." It will take a much shrewder dodge then that 10 enable the dem ocrats to work men who really do work.
 Oh, yes. the democrats are friends of those who earn their living-when a campaign is on. IT you don't be lieve it compare the working half time or not at all, al starvation wages, under democratic rule, and working full time, often extra time, at high and increasing wages, under republican rule.
