Cleveland was nicknamed by his demo- cratic followers. we'll, some of them, published in the Saturday Evening Post, he urges young men to vote for the candidate from Esopus.
 The reason assigned is because when Cleveland was twenty-one he cast his first vote for the mature, undramatic and experienced Buchanan. z" and Par ker is like him. Mir. Cleveland goes back long way to find a democratic president to conjure by, but when one thinks of it, the last successful demo- cratic presidential candidate being a modest man could not cite himself as a model for young men.
 Evidently the gentleman from Buff falo has forgotten Buchanan's belief that it is correct democratic princi- pie to govern without the consent of the governed, otherwise he would not have so emphatically referred to him as proper example for the rising gen. eratiOn to pattern after. This advice of Cleveland again brings to mind an incident during Buchanan's life, sag- gested in these columns few days since, showing convincingly that when the democratic party was in power the idea of coercing the Cubans and talk ing Cuba nolens volens was right, be- cause advocated by democrats of the Buchanan brand. Fms item in history is called the "Ostend Manifesto" Buchanan, as one of the commission appointed by President Pierce to con- sider in Europe the advisability of securing possession of Cuba, signed a report on the subject, in 1854, advo- eating that if Spain would not sell the island then the time had arrived to consider the question whether or not Cuba in the possesison of Spain seri- ouslly endangered our internal peace.
 BuchaDan's report on this subject contains "Should this question be answered in the affirmative then by every law human and divine we shall be justified in wrestling it from Spain if we posses the power. Under such circumstances we ought neither to count the cost nor regard the odds which Spain might enlist against us. ''
 This doctrine advocated by demo- crat who was two years later elected president by his party was gospel truth then and worthy of endorsement: but because the necessities of the Spanish war brought us the Philippines under republican ad ;aistration, Mr. Cleveland, who pye--nts Buchanan and his life history us - sufficient reason why young men si:u I vote for Par ker, condemns in tb sveTest manner the governing of the il.. .n.nos because they have not conseu;,d to be govern ed.
 Buchanan becau he was demo- crat was right; Rfsevelt, a republi- can, however, is wrong. It is the us- ual shifting, dodSIng, doubling back democratic method in political cam paigns.

Barney Smith is making a diligent and conscientious canvas of Yavapai county for the office of supervisor and wherever he has been, or where ever he has spoken, the taxpayers believe in him. There is no doubt of his faithfulness before election, and after his endorsement there will be no oc- casion whatever for the men who elected him to regret placing the affairs of the county in his hands. MT. Smith is a diligent man, and above all other considerations he has the nerve to stand up for what he believes to be right and just. His characteristics are we'll known outside of office and inside he will follow out the dictates of his conscience without wavering. His nomination is one of the best that has ever been made in Yavapai county for the office ot supervisor. He IS particularly we'll qualified for that position. We want men like him. He will place rocks in the washed out roads, not around the flower beds of the plaza.

REPUBLICAN LEGISLATORS.

Not many moon since, leadine democrats were advising the election of republicans for the legislature This was caused by their knowledge oi the fact that the democrats represent ing Yavapai county in the last terri torial law making body in the lower house proved dismal failures. That they proved recreant to their tlust is written in the legislative Journals which stand as monument to their unworthiness. Their platform pledges were ignored and in many instances they proved false. Thsy fought bills the passage of which meant thousand of dollars to the people, notably the Cowan bill.
 But now that a political campaign is on these same democratic leaders, blinded by partisan devotion, are steadfastly claiming that the territory can be saved only by sending other democrats to PheniX. Might it not be we'll for the people to remember the last legislature and its fruits, which have not been red and rosy, but turn to ashes when brought into play? Having remembered, decide to make a change in this regard by choosing republicans to assist in mak- ing our laws at the next session of the legislature.
 This year the republicans have plac- ed on their ticket for legislative hon. ors, men of integrity, intelligence and experience, worthy of trust and conf dence.
 For the council, MT. B. A. Haggott was unanimously nominated. He re- presents the mining and farming in- dustries. For years his mining enter prises in this county have been among st the foremost. He has brought thousands of dollars here for the de- velopment of our mines. As an em- pIoyer of men he has been just and liberal. He is man of learning and we'll sequipped to represent all our people in the legislature. He will be elected because he is the best man for the position.
 When one mentions the republican candidates for the legislative assembly he knows they are good men and de- serving of election.
 There's Mark Bradley. He's lived here for years. His standing as a cit izen is splendid. He has worked with the boys with pick and drill and is to- day in charge of the development of some of our best mines in the Cherry Creek district. Mark Bradley is all that is able, fearless and honorable. l VoteE for him and he will break no pledges.

At ibis late day he asks the people to reeog- nIze his political ambitions for the treasurer's office, and there is no doubt whatever but he will receive the strong support of men who are behind the county, as we'll as from those who do not contribute in a tax paying sense.

Fowler was a candidate or a pri- vate citizen, he was a gentleman en- titled to the courtesy that should at least merit respect if nothing more. The Herald seeks to make capital out of Mir. Fowler's visit to Prescott. They also seek to make MT. Fowler ap- pear as a truckling to MT. Murphy. They seek to empty "Tackless Toots'' arguments for the purpose of deceiv- ing the voter.

NOT DEAD.

Sheriff Roberts has bsen out of sight so long some of his constituents had begun to think he wa dead. but the following from the Oasis disproves the theory:
 Sheriff Roberts, of Yavapai county, Arizona, is at HermOsillo, awaiting orders for the extradition of a man now III jail at Agua Prieta, who is wanted in Prescott for murder con- mitted about a year ago.-Nogales Osasis.
 Mir. Roberts is after Mexican who killed another Mexican in Congress about two years ago. At that time it was said that the man was justified in the ac and no attempt was made to arrest him. A case has been worked up by cur present officers and extradi- tion papers taken out to get the man from Mexicran soil. The expense to the county thus incurred will foot up to a good round sum. Of course the county can stand the expense, for there is still room at the top for taxes to grow; close to five per cent taxes, is only bagatelle.
 If the man is returned here and the prosecution fails to convict him of the killing, the taxpayers will have room for one of the biggest howls ever sent up from an overburdened public.
 It is generally conceded to be good management and the proper discharge of duties when the sheriff catches the criminals that commit crimes during his term of office; and the district attorney lands them in prison. The sheriff makes enough money out of the office, and draws enough mil cage if he looks after the present and lets bygones be bygones. It also looks a little careless in Sheriff Rob- erts to be away so much from his office. Prescott Daily Herald, Sept. 9, 1905
 In connection with the above it is but just to Mir. Roberts to say that he went after his man, and be stayed with the proposition for nearly three months. He returned to his duties in Prescott after the Mexican was liber- ated by the Mexican officials in Sono- ra. Laying aside the animus contain ed in the above article, we desire to call the attention of the Herald and the taxpayers of this cou nty to the fact that after Mir. Robert; had been out of pocket over $500 to secure this murderer, NOT A DOLLAR OF THAT SUM HAS YAVAPAI COUN- TY HAD TO PAY FOR THE SER VICE RENDERED. The Herald in its tirade of abuse of this official in the campaign today, treacherously evades this question. It is fulsome, however, in trying to brand this de- serving and generous official before the taxpayer and the people generally that he was to be compensated for this particular service. For the benefit of that sheet the records on this par ticular transaction are open and Mir. Roberts invites not only an examina- tion of the same, but any other case or cases that come within the meaning of the statutes. When Sheriff Roberts performs a service, and it is legal
  one, and he "shows them," he wants the money, and he should get it. But when he goes after a criminal and re- turns empty handed, he goes down in his own pocket.

If the people want the platform of their party lived up to the letter, and if they also desire to see Yavapai county receive some recognition in the affairs of Arizona, the legislative ticket of the republican party is the avenue to secure such.

clapped his eyes on the giant he felt
killing forefathers, and he had his
plan in his head almost before the
giant could open his mouth.
He hoped nimbly off his horse and
strobe straight up to the giant
I've come to kill you" he said.
"Ha! hal hal" laughed the giant;
and several tons Of rock broke off
when the echo struck them.
He scooped up Jacks horse in one
hand, thrust it into his mouth and,
crack! it was crunchedsand swallowed.
IF you do that to me-" said Jack,
II will kill you"
'Ho" said the giant. TRY it,"
With that he picked Jack up and
stuck him into his big mouth.
The moment Jack found himself in
side the great cavern. he scrambled
away under the tongue and laid him
self snugly down between two of the
tage he began to stick his sword with
all his might into the great, soft, red
tongue of the giant, and that is more
than even a giant can stand. So he
was soon hopping around in pain and
feeling around in his mouth with his
big fingers, trying to catch Jack. But
Jack managed to hide as easily be-
tween the grant > leeIH DIS a Tiny DlL
of meat can hide between yours.
So at last the poor old giant, with
his tongue bleeding like anything,
rushed down the hill to a lumber yard
and began to whittle a plank into a
toothpick.
Jack didn't wait until the toothpick
was completed. He ran hastily back
into the giants mouth till he came to
the place where the big veins run up

gan to pound at the wall of the throat
with his sword till he opened a vein.
And before long the giant fell dead,
with one last roar that frightened the
whole kingdom into mysteries.
When Jack returned to the palace,
the jolly old King was greatly re-
lieved.
Butt said he, ct am sorry to say
that l cannot give you my daughter,

the money that you can find in the
treasury"
Jack was very we'll satisfied with
this, and he went into the Kings
treasury, where he found IS after a
long search. The only other things
in the Royal Treasury were thin rats
and empty money bags.
What does this mean?" asked Jack.
THAT" said the King majestically
'is my little joke. I told you that you
could have all the money you could
find in my treasury, and in a way
the Joke is on me, because l looked
only yesterday and couldn't find those
five dollars. However, you are well

And Jack went back home to his
mother, and they put the money into

THE RIVAL TREE KINGS.

The giant redwoods of California and
the strange eucalyptus of Australia
are rivals for the title of King of
Trees No other trees in the world
grow so tall as do both of these. While
everybody knows about the wonderful
sizes of the Californian trees the mag
nitude of the eucalyptus is hardly
known except to botanists and explor-
ers. Yet these trees grow to nights so
immense that it is hard for the mind
to conceive ii.
When Lindley described some giants
among these trees he said that trees
had been measured which were 400
feet high and 100 feet around at the
base. People jeered at this statement
until the Australians sent plank Of
eucalyptus to England for exhibition.
1t was 2S4 feet long.
One difference between the giant
redwoods of the United states and the
giant eucalyptus of Australia is that
the redwcods require almost a century
to attain any really remarka bic
growth. while the eucalyptus actually
shoots up, growing with a speed that
is more typical of weed than of
tree.
1t is likely that the eucalyptus will
soon be growing in all the warmer
parts of the world. for its value as
fever-killing tree has led to its trans
planting to many fever-cursed spots.
