A MaIodorous Record.

Abraham $ Humphries, Of Homo lulu, Hawaii, is receiving good deal of free mention iu the Arizona press favorable and otherwise It seems that this whilom Auzouan aspiTes to be judge of the supreme courr of Hawaii. and several Of our exchange huve spoken in complimentary terms oi his legal erudition and acumcn,
 The publicity given to Humphries caudidacy appears not to have beeu to his advantage, having served to revive recOllections of several episodes of a disagreeable nature in which he figured during his residence at Phoenix and Florence, with the result that serious charges have been preferred against Humphries by W. F. Cooper, district attorney of Pima county, who is well acquainted with that gentleman ante cedents, having resided al Florence while Humphrles was practicing attorney there MT Cooper alleges that humphfies embedded large sums oi insurance money from two widows, paid by the Ancient Order of United Workmen on account of death of their husbands
 When he Jeff for Honolulu num- ber of creditors at Florence muurned his loss. Humphries had previously figured in n bloodless encounter with pistols at Phoenix, the outgroWth of an abortion case in which he was made one of the defendants
 As We remember Humphries, his chiei characteristics were his gall and pomposity.
 Soon after going to Honolulu he married hafcaste reputed to be wealthy, and is said to have built up lucrative law practice there. When Mr Humphries bears from Arizona he will baye cause to regret that he did not remain content with the measure of prosperity already gained ill Hawaii.

Senator CIark's Case.

1t IS probable that the adverse re- port of the senate committee on elec- tions and privileges in the Clark case will be adopted hy the senate. If so Senator Clark will lose his seat by the votes of men who got into the senate by employing the same methods of which Clark is charged. It IS uotor- iols fact that, with few exceptions, only rich men have been able to enter the senate through the lavIsb use of money. They are only more fortunate than the Montana senator in not hay ing been exposed.
 That Senator Clark was exposed is merely piece of bad luck. He wps unfortunate in having an enemy-a bitter, relentless enemy who had ml- lions and was ready to spend few of them in keeping Clark out of the sen ate, and having failed to defeat Clark s election, he showed his vindictivencss and littleness of soul by using his in- fluence and more money to obtain and prosecute the investigation of Clark's election by the senate. We have far more respect for Clark than we have for Daly. There is nothing in Dalys course to be commended. and the rev citations in the Clark investigation do

The fact that the decision rendered by the state court of appeals sustaining the demo- CT tic contention, received the assent of two ont of the three republican iudges in that tribunal, would seem to b. conclusive that the ultimate result will be the seating of Beckham and the other democratic contestants.

 Jusr two years ago, says the Los Angeles Herald, the Republican state senate in Ohio approved by majority vote a committee report declaring that bribery had been attempted in copnec' ton with the election of Hanna as sen. ator: that Hanna Sis guilty of the crime of attempting to bribe John C. Otis, Ii member of the house of representa- tives, to vote for him for United States senator that "such man as Marcus A. Hanna Is not lit to represent the great state of Ohio in the United States senate, and that he should be expelled from that august body" thut "to permit him to hold his seat there would go far toward legalizing corrup- ton and bribery" that ''the expulsion of Mir Hanna from the United States senate is demanded by public justice. " This scathing report was transmitted to the United States senate, together with the request that such action he taken as may be deemed advisable" :" But Mir, McKiuley sat iu the White House, the Republicans had a majority in the senate, and DO official notice has ever been taken of the report,

Bryan's recent visit to Vermont assnr- ances were made him by men high in the party councils that the state sup port should he his, and delegates will be sent to Kansas City who are fully in accord with Col. Bryan and his views. This is the statement made by the Burlington (vt.) Free Press.

A NEW GENERAL AGENCY.

The Mccormick Harvesting Machine Com
pany Has Selected Charlotte as the Dis
tributing Point for North and South
Carolina.
The Charlotte Observer of October
10th, says:
The Mccormick Harvesting Ma
chine Company, of Chicago, estab-
lished yesterday a general agency in
this city, which will cover North
and South Carolina.
About fifteen years ago the Nc
Cormick company had a general
agency here, which continued in
operation for two years and was
moved to Virginia because the trade
in North and South Carolina was not
large enough to justify a general
agency. But in the last II years the
business of the company has in
creased in the territory named from
500 to over 1000 machines. In North
and South Carolina there are yer
159 local agents handling the goods
of the company. Each one is a sub
agent under the general agency at
this point and draws his supplies
from this agency.
The establishment of an agency
here is evidence Of the fact that the
company has faith in the substantial
prosperity of this country and it's
prospects as Il grain and grass pro-
ducing section.

bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcOmes that I'M
pleasant necessity Of being compelled
to go often during the day, and to
get up many times during the night.
The mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp,Root is soon realized. It
stands the highest for it it's wonder
full cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need a medicine you

OF VALUE TO HORsEMEN.

Do you turn your horses out for the winter?
If SO, we want to call your attention to a very
Important matter. Horses which have been
road, have quite likely had some strains
whereby Iameness or engagements have been
caused. Or perhaps new life is needed to be
infused into their legs. GOmbaults Caustic
Balsam applied as per directions, just as you
are turning the horse out, will be of great bene-
very successfully One great advantage in
using this remedy is that after it is applied it
needs no care or attention., but does its work
well and at the same time when the horse is
having a rest. OF course it can be used with
equal success while horses are in the stable,
but many people in turning their horses out
would use Caustic Balsam if they were re-
minded of it, and this article is given as a re-
minder.
