A RECOLLECTION.

r pwards Of a year ago the
1 PIONEER respectfully and
somewhat relu antly
called the attention of the Mime
apolis Journal and the ST. Paul
Dispatch to the very evident fact
that they were severally and dis
tinctly playing a game upon the
tariff question which they could
not support when the activities
of a presidential campaign We're
entered upon. Assthe time ap-
proaches for the next campaign
these two papers,, which are
otherwise admirable representa-
tives Of the newspaper profes-
sion, find themselves in guam
Diary. Their Washington dis
patches are constantly filled with
statistical information, which
goes to confirm the protective
tariff theory which has made the
republican party what it is, and
which has made the, United
States the next most powerful
nation on earth. 49,. .r..
Their editorial columns are
nevertheless weakly given up to
a certain amount of twaddle
about tariff revision, which
means nothing more nor less
than Simon-pure free. trade.
The American people are just
beginning to learn that it pays to
stand by American interests
against all the rest of the earth;
that that is the great theory Of
politics for the United States,
and that that is what is bringing
gold into the country in great
er volume than was ever before
known. And the best thing that
papers like the Dispatch and
Journal can do is to line up with
the predominant sentiment Of
the country, and support the
republican party and it's histor-
ical principles at all seasons of
the year as well as during an
actual presidential campaign.

The G.. N. and N. p. are going
to slash freight rates again
pretty soon. "What's Halvor
Steenerson been doing to the
railroads this timer" an anxious
inquirer asks. Nothing, dear
boy, absolutely nothing. He has
had no more to do with the pros
pective freight reduction than he
had with any of the reductions
that have already been made by
the railroads. Warren Register.

DR.. A. E. Henderson, of Be-
midi, is a candidate for County
Coroner on the Republican
ticket, and it goes without say
ing that there is not a better
fitted man for the Office in the
county. 1t cannot be contradict
ed that a physician should hold
the office. We recommend DR..
Henderson, as an honest, upright
gentleman.

vote for his nomination and cleo

We clip the following chapter

We clip the following chapter
of, political gospel according to
Knappen from the Farley Tele-
gram. Whatever else may be
thought about it, we insist that
there is much truth in it:
"And there came into this
county which is called Beltrami,
yea, even unto the city which is
the home of Bemidii, of the tribe
known as Chippewas, one whose
surname was Street. And he was
Of those known as lawyers and
he was also scribe and welded
the pen of iron, and the people
said, one unto another, This is
a wise man; yea. verify, he is a
learned man; let us elect him to
interpret the laws according to
the statutes of the republicans
and democrats-yea, verify; even
of the populists. And it was
even so. And this man whose
surname was Street, was elected
and the people were pleased
thereat, and they elected him
many times, for they said, "Be-
hold, he is a good and faithful
servant. ! And he waxed popular
and gathered unto himself many
shekels of gold and silver, And
the people, seeing that this man
was honorable and upright, said,
"Let US put upon him the toga Of
a senator, that he may sit among
the law-givers of the state, and
he will help us to obtain that
which is our due and lift up his
voice for the people who abide
within his district and he will
not sell out our birthright for a
mess of pottage. " s8
Now it came to pass that there
also resided in this city of Be-
midi, one L. Fl. B. Ally, who was
also of the profession of the law,
and he was exceedingly wroth at
Street, for he was ajealous man.
And he desired, yea, with a great
desire, to occupy the place of
Street with the people and he
sought to set the people against
Street but without avail, for
great was the love of the people
for Street. So this l.. H. B.
Ally went hence from his office,
which is in the city of Bemidji,
and when he came nigh unto his
henchmen he spoke unto them,
saying, "Behold, the people
would put the toga Of senator
upon Street. Go thou out
amongst them and tell them they
know not what they want; we
will give them for senator, one
Swedback, yea, even he Of the
logs and lumber - But the
people, when they heard these
things, gave L. H. B. Ally the
horse laugh, and spake unto him.
saying, "cheese it, "cut itout, "
tgo way down and sit back, I"
and such like expressions.
"Verily, we will send to that city
which is called ST. Paul, the
longest, liveliest and most pic
turesque Street to be found. "
And Street wot not that B.
Ally would have smote and slain
him politically; neither did he
care continental. And thus
endeth the first chapter.

Governor Brodie to Visit Yuma
 Valley.

Mr. A. F. White, while in Phoenix, as delegate to the Republican con- vention, learned that Governor Brodie will be in Yuma on Saturday of this week and will personally investigate the situation in the valley as bearing upon the necessity for levee along the Colorado river to prevent the Over- flow of farming lands. Governor Brodie is taking keen interest in this mat ter. and it is understood as coming from him direct that he will lend his influence to secure an appropriation by congress at the short session, which begins ia December, for the construct ing of the leyee which is needed so badly. The people of the valley are certainly to be congratulated upon having friend of the high character and standing of Governor Brodie. and with his valuable assistance, there would seem to be not much doubt of the attainment of the desired end.

Spurious dealers often refill the bottles and thus give them the same appear ance as the original, but unless they have our private stamp unbroken over the neck they are not the genuine. Re fuse all such limitations, The genuine HOstetter's BitterS has an unequaled record of cures of stomach complaints back of it, such as dyspepsia, indiges- tion, constipation, biliousness, nervous ness, insomnia and malaria, fever and aQuo.

The New Valley M. E. Church.

Probably the largest audience ever gathered at religious service in Yuma county was at the laying of the corner stone of the Methodist church in Yuma valley last Sunday. Rev. Crouch conducted the ritualistic cere- mony and gave short history of the work of the Methodist church in that community. A Sunday school was or ganized four years ago in farm house and was held in the various homes un- til school houses was built.
 The Sunday school has grown from IT to 70. The membership of the church has increased from 3 to 14. There has been nearly $1,O0O subscrib- ed toward the building fund. At the close of the service S60 was added to the subscription list. The building will be ready for occupancy by Nov. I5th

Disappearance Mystery Cleared.

Some weeks ago the Sentinel printed portions of letter from a Mrs. NOvOtny of l0J6 w. Nineteenth street, Chicago seeking information of her husband who had come to Arizona to engage in mining. The mystery of his disap- pearance has been cleared up by the finding of a body, by cowboy, near Rililito few days ago, which proved to be that of Frank NOvotny, and the wife has been notified. The man had been dead at least month. His body had been dragged by coyotes for about 100 yards from where he evidently died. His clothes had been torn from the body, and even the bones had been gnawed by the hungry coyotes. All of the mans effects and also his bones were piled in a heap and buried on the spot.

A Remarkable Record.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has a remarkable record. It has been in use for over thirty years, during which time many million bottles have been sold and used. It has long been the standard and main reliance in the treat ment of croup in thousands of homes, yet during all this time no case has ever been reported to the manufactur- CTS in which it failed to effect a cure. When given as soCn as the child be- comes hoarse, or even as soon as the croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is pleasant to take. Many children like it. It contains no opium or other harmful substance, and may be given as confidently to baby as to an adult. For sale at Cotter's drug store.

After the ceremony large number of invited guests partooK of refreshments at the home of MT. and Mrs. J. H. Godfrey, where the greater part of the day was spent in merry-making. In the eveniug Mr. and Mrs. Stanton were the recipients of charivari by South ern Pacific employees, who were quieted by being invited 10 join the bridal party, and participate in the festivities, which continued long into the evening.

 It may be said that the ticket nom- mated was cut and dried, and that there is general kicking" by those who got left. Whether this dissatis- faction will find expression sat the polls as now threatened remains to be seen. Some of the old time democrats who have led the party to victory times without number ih the past were set down upon hard by the young and new crowd, and are naturally feeling very sore and are doing some quiet but very vigorous kicking. It begins to look like the democratic party of Yuma county was on the verge of disruption. To say the least, in the democratic carnD all is not lovely.
