Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intiamed con-
ditiOn of the mucous lining OF the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is entile e.
~ closed deafness is the result, and un.
less the Inflammation can he taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
ditiOn, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in.
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

 Stockman The CoconIno county board of supervisors paid recently little matter of SlsO as bounty on wild animals. This sum represents eight lions and ten bears less in that county.
 Stockman: This week was one of rainfall ard snow throughout the northern section of Arizona, all Of which will be of vast benefit to the water supply as well as grass on the range.
 The Gazette anticipates battle royal between the sheep and cattle men Tn the next legislature. The con ditions today all lead up to an open rupture between these two conflicting elements.
 Stockman: Hon. s. Price Behan was among those interested in cattle and cattle shipments, in the city this week. Mir Behan keeps close watch of the interests of the livestock ship ments over bis popular road, and ren- ders them an excellent service.
 Stockman: One of the heaviest feeders of cattle in the valley said in our hearing this week that it requires man with a cast-iro2 nerve to feed cattle these days, considering the value of hay. He was perhaps nearly right, yet he feeds on a large scale and if he was ever unsuccessful in his feeding his friends never knew of 1t. True to make success of cattle feed ing 1t requires good business judg- ment
 Stockman: Petitions bearing on the differences between the cattle men and the sheepmen Of northern Arizona are being circulated sigma lures. There has been war between these two interests for some time and with the passing of time the breach widens. The only one advantage that we can see in the leasing of the range lands would be the settlement of this difficulty and then the privilege would would be bought at great price.
 Phoenix Herald; The sheep season in the valley is about to begin. Im- mense ilocks from the north are nov ing this way slowly and the advance guard is now in the Chino valley. It is estimated that altogether 300.0O0 seep will be wintered in the valley. The sheariDg will begin about Jan- uary 23 There will be two camps, Houck's on the Cave Creek road, about thirty miles north of the city, and the other, Goddard's, at Canon station.
 Stockman: Thos. k. King, one of the well-to-do stockmen of Yayapai county, spent Saturday and Sunday last in this city, and this journal was favored with pleasant call. MT. King came to California from Eng land in 49 and could fill large volume with his experiences of the early days. He followed cattle raising in the Golden state after the mining excite ment had abated, removing later to Arizona. He is now growing in years but still active and has amassed a competence sufficient for his remain ing years. His range is in the Chino valley, on which can be found prob. ably the best grade of range cattle in that county.

An. there is the rub. it would be all right if the small cattle owners or sheep owners could lease the land. but they can't because they cannot bid as much for it as the big syn dicates or trusts that will be formed for that purpose.
 StOckman: Has anyone ever figured out just what revenue would result from easing the range land of Ari- zona? If so we have never seen the figures. It is our impression that 1t would barely pay the clerk hire of those who look after the business. The only desirable spots, or those really worth leasing, or in other words. the only points necessary to control the range, are he watering places. or where water could be easily developed Such locations controlled, the whole country would Oe controlled, and leas- ing such locations only would yield a mighty small revenue, even though a comparatively high price were of fered and paid by the heavy indi- vidual owner or firm-just high enough to freeze out the other fellow.

DEVIL OF A LOT OF THINKING. .

Returning from Cuba, Fitzhugh
Lee spoke a riddle when he said:
Il was appointed by Mr.. Cleveland
to go to Cuba as Consul General, and
Mr.. Mckinley asked me to remain.
Since then | have been an officer of
the American Army and army Off
GERS do not talk politics, but they do

We do not know what Gen. Lee has
been thinking about, but the Ameri-
can people have not forgotten how he
was effectually shelved during the
war so as to let others win the hon
ors of leading to the assured victory.
Mckinley had no idea of letting a Lee
hold a prominent place in the Cuban
war. Can it be that Lee has been do
ing ga devil of a lot of thinking"

NON-PARTIsAN JUDICIARY.

Some members of North Cardinals
so-called non-partisan Judiciary are at
present engaged in the judicial func-
tion of writing ISLANDERS about the
people of North Carolina for the Re-
publican National Executive Commit
tee. The Republican National Com
mittee is giving out statement, said
to have been written by a member of
the North Carolina judiciary, contain
ing such expressions as the follow
ing:
1.-The Fifteenth Amendment to the
United States constitution has been
simply nullified, and the majority of
voters in this State are under the
grinding heel of a despotic minority.
The Democratic election law is the
most unfair and partisan law that
was ever on the statute books. Under
it, any man who refuses to wear the
Democratic yoke may be, and will be,
disfranchised under the form of an
ignominious and infamous law. I'm
der and by it's operations Bryan and
his minons will carry this State,
suaded this State would give President
Mckinley it's electoral vote. There is
no help for us until a revolution
comes; and come it will, for men will
not be defrauded of their liberties in
such high-handed, outrageous man
ner, and will find some way out"
Of all the curses with which this
State has been inficted-(and Radical
rule was a worse plague than the To-
Gusts in Egypt,) the bitter and ma
lignant and partisan judiciary has
been the worst. 1t was bad enough
when they gave office to Republican
henchmen without authority of the
law. Now to traduce the people of
the State in Republican campaign
documents is enough to make the peo-
pie of North Carolina doubly glad
that the day is near at hand when
they can be rid of judiciary that has
been evil and evil only.

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

Mr.. Hugh Harris, former member
OF the House from Mecklenburg
county, has a short letter in Sundays
Charlotte Observer, that contains as
much wisdom as an egg contains
meat. 1t is in full as follows
"Since the close of the State cam
paign and the ratification of our con-
stitutional amendment by vote of
the people, the following questions
would seem to challenge the serious
consideration of all good citizens of
the State:
is not the final establishment of
our constitutional amendment the
matter of supreme Importance in our
political life?
Does not Mr.. McKinley's Philadel-
phia platform, in plain words, con-
denim our constitutional amendment
as invalid?
evil not the reelection of Mr.. Nc
Kinley increase the chances against
a firm and final establishment of our
constitutional amendment?
whether his reelection would in
crease such chances or not, and
whether his reelection would give us
more negro poStmaSters or not, can
North Carolinians who desire to be
true to themselves and to their dear
est public measure, afford to give any
comfort, whatever, directly or indi-
rectly, to the candidates whose plat
form declares a purpose to destroy
the validity of that measure, and thus
strike down our hopes of better civil
zation?
"Other issues may appeal to the
conservative mind of Democracy
everywhere, but to North Carolinians,
can there be any issue paramount to
that of safeguarding our Suffrage
amendment?
Exactly. The North Carolina man
who votes for Mckinley, or gives aid
and comfort to the Republican party,
is in fact doing all he can to prevent
the blessing that will follow from the
constitutional ame1dment if it is per-
mitted to go into effect. The Repub-
lican national convention declares it
Revolutionary" and Mckinley APP
proves the platform. Mckinley,
therefore, says the amendment is ire
volutionary." Every man who votes
for Mckinley helps to brand the
amendment as revolutionary"

FINANCE NOT THE ISSUE.
Washington Post. Gnd.)

Although Mr.. Mckinley gives finance
and business first place in his address,
the much larger space which he devotes
to expansion shows his clear apprecia-
tion of its relative Importance. His plat
form exultantly proclaims that the sta
bilfty of our currency on a gold basis has
been secured" He tones that proud claim
down very materially in the assertion that
1.-The gold standard has been effectively
strengthened" He Invites the sound
money forces to join in winning another
and, we hope, a permanent victory. The
Post believes the victory OF 1896, supple
mented by the financial history of the last
four years and clinched by the currency
act of the Fifty-sixth Congress, is per
manent" While the platforms of the
three parties that are supporting Mr..
Bryan all call for free coinage, and while
Mr.. Bryan himself stands on that issue
just where he stood four years ago, the
President is justified in giving it some
prominence. But the Post. for reasons
with which it's readers are familiar, firmly
believes that the gold standard is Sc
cured

An examination of the list of So

flee under Mckinley except those who
bolted in 1896. Four years ago there
were hundreds of voters leaving the
Democratic party. This year the
changes are all the other way, though
the Radical sheets keep on parading
such so-called converts to Mckinley
