EDITORIAL NOTES.

! EX-Secretary Olney was the man
 who advised President Cleveland to
 use federal troops against the strikers
 in Chicago during the term of the
 last democratic administration.
 It is not necessary to go back to
 1896 to find inconsistencies in Bryan speeches. The trade prosperity now
 being enjoyed by Porto Rico destroys some of the latter-day utterances.
 It doesn't require a vast amount of strain on the mental organs to recall
 the fact that the democrats in con gress voted to continue imperialism in Hawaii.
 We judge from all the newspaper accounts that William Jennings Bryan is what might be called "a good home man." Yet the fact has never been published that William Mckinley ever murdered any of his ancestors.
 There are over 30,OOO bank deposit ors in Colorado now, an increase of nearly 100 per cent. in four years. Perhaps this is one of the many valid reasons why Mckinley will carry Colorado this year.
 Senator's Hears logical reasons for urging the election of Mckinley and . Roosevelt have had a rather depress- ing effect upon the democratic editors. They have suddenly discovered that he is not a patriot.
 In his criticism of the Philadelphia platform Mir. Bryan was not fair enough to concede that the requbli- can nominees are standing by every word of it and not trying to conceal any particular plank.
 There are now twelve presidential candidates in the fields. If another should come in, the number would be raised to thirteen and there is no tell ing what might happen. Possibly the prohibition ticket might win in such a race.
 What did ex-Secretary Olney do when he was attorney general to check the growth of trusts and mo- nopolies? Nothing. But he made an excuse for doing nothing. He said, when attorney general, the trusts could not be controlled by fed eral laws, but that they were under ; the jurisdiction of state laws and must 5e proceeded against by state officials. Oiney k now supporter of Bryan.
 The gold democrats of Maryland, who assisted in electing a democratic . governor and legislature in that state, | have reorganized and will do all in their power to bring about republican success this year. When they rallied , to the support of Governor Smith, they announced that, if the demo cratic national convention made the .inancialquestion anissue, they would duplicate their position of 1896. And f they have kept their word.
 Here is another sentence from Mir. Bryan's acceptance speech which has . decided application to those south f aru states where the Acknowledgement $ of the negro is practiced: Once ad- [ nit that some people are capable of self government and that others are not, and that the capable people have ( . right 10 seize upon and govern the ( and yoJL make force brute t force the only foundation of govern , nent and invite the reign of the lespOt.

A FALSE IMPRESSION.
Geo. E. Brown Makes an Explanation
 of an Item in Our Contemporary.

Mayer, Arizona, Sept. 29. (Editor Journal ALiner) In the Weekly Cour- fer of the 2Sth inst. notice under the heading of County Republican Con vention' mention made of a motion of Attorney Jacks that the delegates to the territorial convention be in structed to vote as a unit, was op- posed by George F. Brown and was voted down" and again under heading of "RepubIican Convention Comment it says Geo. E. Brown, of Agua Fria. made a great talk against unit rule at Phenix, but the Murphy gang had the convention although his move carried:" from the above statement of the Courier a wrong i'm pression might be drawn as to the motive in opposing Mr. Jack $ resolu- ton. The opposition to it was not intended to be either for or against Mir. Murphy, or Mir. Christy or any other gentleman whose name might come before the territorial convention at Phenix, but for the sole purpose of sending the 2S delegates to the con vention untrammeled by instructions. so that they could vote for the man whom they believed to be most avail able and for this reason and this alone, was the resolution opposed by me and voted down by the conven- ton.
 It is my private opinion that if the democrats had adopted the same course and avoided instructions. there would now be no democratic twins" in Arizona and they would have saved themselves much trouble in trying to pull the twins and the old woman through with no hopes" for the old man."
 Yours Respectfully,
 GEO. F. BROWN.

United Modern's Gratitude.

The entertainment committee for the United MOdern's charity ball de sire to publicly express their thanks to all those who so ably assisted them in making the entertainment what it proved to be, i. e., a well deserved and complete success, socially and fnan cially, thereby enabling the order to extend assistance to suffering Mod erns and others in Galveston.
 Thanks are especially due to Mes danes Cline and Smith and Mir. E. Emanuel for the generous donation of their untiring services during the entire evening.
 The proceeds of the charity ball given by the United Moderns for the benefit of Galveston flood sufferers netted them something over S75 over all expenses, and demonstrates what can be done by a few rustling work CTS and a generous and appreciative public, inside of a weeks time.

An Fla asily Borne Tax
From the New York Evening Post,

From the New York Evening Post.
 It now costs rich people who die in Great Britain nearly $90,000,O00 per annum to pay their final taxes. In a recent debate in the house of commons, apropos of the death of Chicago Smith and his contribution of $4,500 900 in death duties, Sir William Har- court said that when he was chancellor of the eXchequer the death duties yielded G10,- 000. 900. He then proposed an increase esti- mated at G3 5OO000 which parliament en- acted, but instead Of total of G13,5oO,OOO, the amount had now swelled to G17500,0 900. In other words the increase had been double the estimate. It has been predicted that under this death tax millionaires would disappear On the contrary, he said, mil G.claires had been found who would never have been discovered otherwise. Chicago Smith was one of this class. Sir William regretted the tone of levity with which the present. chancellor had referred to the au- thor of this windfall to the treasury, "be- cause you ought not" he said, ito look a dead millionaire in the mouth" Continuing to rebuke the tone of the chancellor's re- marks on a solemn subject, he said:
 An honorable member who sits for the city of London said the other day that capitalists were a necessary evil. That Is not my financial view of them at an. look upon them an indispensable good, Gaughter) I rejoice in their existence, and I am consoled in their death. Slaughter and cheers.)
 If Chicago Smith had known how much merrtment his death would cause in gov errs,nemt circles, he would perhaps have spent as much as twenty sh.llings per day for his own use. instead of limiting himself to fifteen as Sir Michael Hicks-Beach es- timated his personal expenses.

Wise Elephants

The baby elephants, members of the fla nous Gentry Dog and Pony Show this sea- son. are said to be the brightest specimens of their sort ever exhibited. In fact, it is said they are capable of going through their performances without one word Of command from the ringmaster. Their part of the programme lasts nearly fifteen min utes and comprises some of the most diff ficult acts ever attempted by dumb anil mals In addition to their brightness. they are the most docile specimens ever seen. Very fond of children and as playful as cats. They play many jokes upon the dogs and pony members of the company, such as stealing their feed, pulling the dogs tails, and things of that sort They were imported direct from India by Professor Gentry, and nursed on bottles at his farm in Indiana, until they were strong enough to go on the road with the show.

MIX and watered MIX

According to the San Francisco Argo- naut, 1t is better to drink milk which has made the acquaintance of the pump than to imbibe the unadulterated stuff. In an editorial that breezy western journal says: Never was there a wiser saying than "A little learning is dangerous thing" Rider 1iaggard, the novelist. may be learned in literature, but he is not learned in dietet- ics. He knows little of the food properties of milk.
 These facts are shown by Mir. Haggards own anecdote of his own achievement. 1t seems that he was elected guardian of the Rockingham institution for pauper children. He discovered that they were being, he says, lied upon watered skim milk. I was indignant and at the next meeting moved that the children should have whole milk. To my surprise, an an cient worthy fiercely opposed me. saving, Do you know, sir, that fresh milk Is too rich for them? It will ruin their stom- achs.' !"
 But Mr. Haggard's indignation was so great that he carried his point and the little Rockingham paupers had whole milk Probably ninety out of a hundred people would agree with Mr. Haggard This weakens his case. All mothers would agree. with him. This utterly destroys his case As a matter of fact, he has not QacteaD leg to stand on. Skim milk con- tains all of the necessary proteins, sugar
 
 milk is better for children diluted than un- diluted. Cows milk contains more albu- minous matter and less sugar than human milk; cows milk Is acid, while human milk is alkaline; the casein of cows milk undiluted frequently forms a hard insolu- ble curd in the juvenile stomach; the ju yen'le cow has four stomachs and can get away with 1t, but the juvenile human has but one stomach and frequently fails. The digestive albumen ill human milk Is nearly double that in cows milk. The indigestl- ole cdsein in cows milk is five times great CT than in human milk.
 All of the artificial foods designed to re- place human milk are largely based upon cows milk. But all of them endeavor to do the thing which caused MT. Haggard's borror-namely, to reduce the amount of free fat Cor cream) and dilute the milk in va1icus ways to render it more digestfble. Giving the little Rockingham paupers di- 1uted skim milk was crude way of sisting their digestion Giving them whole milk would seem kindly, but 1t would be mistaken kindness. Even healthy children do not thrive ill-balanced dietary. Pauper children are rareiy healthy, are frequently feeble. and often inherit dis ease. It is probable that the weli-meaning MT. Haggard has ruined the digestion of the Rockingham juveniles and that their little dummies wila fail to produce the re- quisite number of calories Of energy to as- simulate their whole milk. This will break down their digestons Therefore, the we'll meaning but misguided MT. Haggard as a result of his work. will probably be haunt ed by hundreds of haggard little ghosts, afflicted with acute amylalytic dyspepsia.

 Dr. Depew is expected to make the great est speech of his life. He has made innu- merable notable speeches in national con- ventions, covering a period of two or three generations, and his oratory is just as fresh and sparkling today as 1t ever was. He presented the name of Levi P. Morton bo the last republican convention, thoug n he was careful at that time to say noth- ing that was calculated to injure the cause of MT. Mckinley. The admirers of the in ternatonal orator even to this day insist that if he had turned himself loose at St. Louis in 96 his oratory would have made the McKinleyites lose some of the cocki- mess with which they entered the conven- tion.
