BAILEY AND HIS FRIENDS.

Several Texas newspapers have remarked
upon Senator Bailey's expressed preference
for MI schluter for speaker OF the house
in the Twenty.eighth legislature and have
presumed 20 rebuke him for his attitude.
They seem to think that being a United
states senator prohibits a man from taking
an active interest in the affairs Of his State
Mr.. Bailey is not that sort He did not
surrender his individual rights Of citizenship
when he entered public life and he would
not toreGo the privilege of helping a friend
for anv reward or punishment that might
be offered.
He would not unbecominsly use the in.
fuence OF his high Office. But he and Mr..
schluter are personal and political friends,
and II he chooses to do what he can for Mr..
Schluter knowing him 10 be capable and
worthy in every respect, nobody has any
right Of complaint. Mr. schluter is simply
to be congratulated upon having a supporter
whose advocacy is so pronounced and in
fuential.
That is Mr. Baieys way He loves his
friends and he stands by them, even though
In so doing no may invite carping criticism.
Some people may think this is a fault From
the standpoint OF the selfish politician, per.
haps it is. But most people will admire It
as manly trait altogether too rare in pub.
lie men. If Mr.. Bailey were less frank and
positive, his enemies could not SO easily
place him when they seek to criticise him,
On the other hand, the people could not so
readily locate him on public matters
he
is always in the open.
As to the attitude OF men in high office
toward the speakeTship Mr.. Bailey's critics
might look further and find ether cause for
complaint. Senator Cuiberson is a personal
friend and former townsman OF Mr.. SchIuter
and favors him for speaker. Governor Say.
ers and Goyernorelect Lanham, also. are
his friends
On the other hand, there are quite a mum.
Der OF prominent gentlemen, in and out of
office, who favor Mr.. Nen, as they have a
perfect right to do.

note how every act Of unselhshness and sweet
charity is noted and extolled by press and pub
lie. a few days ago Mrs. Harry Cartan, riding
on Omaha stree; car, saw at end OF the
car a poorly clad haggard-looking mali with a
baby on his knees. The little one was semi
nude and in the zero weather its bare legs were
blue and cold. Mrs. Csrtan was touched by the
pitiful object and the next moment this good
woman in the sealskn sacque had her hands be.
hind her under her cloak. She let fall her heavy
sken skirt, and then she took her garment and
wrapped it around the infants legs, while the
hapless father said God bless you" through
his tears. The noble act has oecasioned com

sEvERipoE's OPINION ONLY.

Senator Beveridge does not believe
in the half way methods of Senator
Bard, says the Phoenix Republican.
The California senator merely ex-
pressed the opinion that Arizona has
reached the maximum of development,
for the time being. He ventured no
positive opinion on potential resources
or ultimate development. But Sena-
tor Beverage is strenuous, and be-
lieves in going the full length when
there is an opportunity to denounce
and cripple a defenseless people. He
expresses the opinion that Arizona's
resources are too limited to entitle
the territory to statehood" In other
words, there is no hope. now or here
after. that Arizona can develop to the
stature of a state! The u are
not here, according to the distinguish

APPEAL TO U MEN.

The late John p. Altgeld once made
the following fine and graceful appeal
to young men, and as the day for
good resolutions is approaching.
The Citizen reproduces AID urges up
On the attention of all its young read
ers:
Young men, life is before you. Two
voices are calling you-one, coming
from the swamps Of selishness and
force, where a success means death,
and the other from the hilltops of JUS
tice and progress, where even failure
brings glory. Two lights are seen in
your horizon-one, the fast-fading
marsh light of power and the other
the slowly rising sun of human broth
erhood. Two ways lie open for you
one leading to an even lower plane
where are heard the cries OF despair
and the curses of the poor, where man
hood shrivels and possession rots
down the ~possessor. and the Other
leading up to the highlands OF the
morning, where are heard the glad
shouts of humanity. and where honest
effort is rewarded with immortality.

It is a great affection for a woman to
have her face disigured by pimples or
any form of eruptive disease. 1t makes
her morbid and sensitive, aud robs her
of social enjoyment. Dishguring erup-
tons are caused by impure blood, and
are entirely cured by the great blood
purifying medicine-Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. II enov from the
blood the poisonous impurities which
cause disease. II perfectly and perman-
emily cures scrofulous sores, eczema,
letter, boils. pimples and other eruptive
diseases which are caused by the blood's
impurity. 1t increases the action OF
the blood-making glands and thus in
creases the supply of pure rich blood.
