It is announced that w. R. Hearst has abandoned his campaign for the nomination for president on the Dem ocratic ticket. The result so far being disastrous to his candidacy. In seek ing the nomination he seemed to have the idea that the lavish use of money was the way through which the posi- ton might be secured, but he has evil dently learned to his loss, that there are many things which money will not purchase. It was the first attempt to force candidate upon party and the impudence of the thing not only surprised the conservative element of his party but of the entire country. Mir. Hearst may have considerable usefulness as editor of yellow" newspaper, but as presidential can didate his ''career" is at an end. His action in closing his campaign will be hard on certain class of politicians, who expected to be personally bene- fitted whether Hearst lost or won.

Triumphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the human body by surgery. Organs are taken out and scraped and polished and put back, or they may be removed entirely; bones are spliced; pipes take the place of diseased sections of veins; antiseptic dressings are applied to wounds, bruises, burns and like in- juries before inflammation sets in, which causes them to heal without maturatiorl and in one-third of the time required by the old treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this same principle. It is an antiseptic and when applied to such injuries, causes them to heal very quickly. It also allays the pain aud soreness. Keep a bottle of Pain Balm in your house and it will save you time and money, not to mention the inconven- fence and suffering which such injuries entail. For sale by all druggists.

Postoffice matters continue to occupy

Postoffice matters continue to occupy much attention. The verdict of Mot guilty" in the Tyner- Barrett con spiracy case, came so quickly and de- cisively in favor of the defendants, as to cause much surprise, when it is re- membered how the aged general and his brilliant nephew have been scored right and left, in congress and by the press. At the same time it is gratify- ing to the administration to have it judicially decided that there was no conspiracy in Gen. Tyner's bureau in the postoffice, and that neither he nor his assistants, allowed get-rich-quick concerns and other fraudulent enter prises, to make an unlawful use of the mails. So both sides are vindicated.
 It is now announced that the Post master General intends to take steps to eliminate from newspapers object ionable patent medicine and other ad- vertisements' Each case is to be treated on its merits. If there are any harmless nostrums, possibly they will

The saying that 'the more vocifer- ous the applause the less the thinking" !" received complication in the pro- ceedings of the Tucson convention. In fact, it had been planned by the more radical members constituting the ma jority that no opportunity should be given for deliberation or for intelli- gent discussion of any important ques- tion. To have done so would have im- periled their cotnrol of the convention. Therefore, the minority was given no quarter, and the conservative members who counseled moderation were shout ed down. The brutal tactics employed won, but at what cost to the democratic party in Arizona will develop later.- Globe Silver Belt.

new RIGHT OF WAY.
The Plot of New Railroad Line
Across the State Lands Will
Not be Sold at Once.

The Watertown and Webster railroad
company has filed in the Office of the
state land commission a plat of their
land across section 30, 1854, which is
state lands, and are asking that it be
appraised for sale. Commissioner Bach
has certified the filing of the same
which gives the company n year
right of purchase. He does not feel
that the best interests of the state
would be served by selling a right-of-
way which cuts through the section in
a diagonal manner, until there is
evidence that the road will certainly be
constructed. His action has given the
road a right of purchase within a year,
but still holds the land in title of the
state until something is done to assure
the building of the road.
In regard to that same road, there
appears to be a disputed question as to
what if any of the old established roads
are back of the move. In the vicinity
of Watertown the opinion appears to be
that the Northwestern road has an eye
on the line, while at Webster on the
the Milwaukee end of the proposed line,
it is claimed that road is back of the
move. In the meantime the farmers
who projected it appear to be going
ahead with the work of securing rights
of way and surveying.

Senator Carmack, of Tennesse e,
who two years ago made SO much
hue and cry about imperialism and
the oppression Of the Filippinos,
has revised his battle cry for this
year, now it is the increase in the
price of living has lowered wages
and the hand of oppression is laid
heavy upon the wage earners. OF
course this would be a vote getter
if a few living examples of the
oppressed wage earners" could be
found for exhibition. Bourke Coch-
rane has chosen for his battle cry
the overthrow of the entire system
of protective policy of the govern
ment ''for the overthrow of the
custom house as a relic of barbarism
and of plumber" William Jennings
Bryan still adhers to the platform
Of 1895 and the free silver ideas.
The cry of Imperialism died aborn-
ing. The oppressed wage ~earners"
of this country are, to use Hon.
Bourke Cochrane's own words, living
in a country where ''labor is the
best paid of any country on earth
and in no other country under the
shining sun does the laborer get
as great a share of the profits of his
labor" The protective tariff has
been tried. The people listened to
democratic siren and elected Cleve-
land and the approach of free trade
was fostered upon the people. The
factories were closed; the mills shut
down and labor was a drug upon
market. The lesson is too fresh in
the minds of the people to permit
another Abandonment of the pro-
tective tariff. The free silver craze
has been passed up by all of it's
great advocates save Bryan and the
only reason he does not drop it is
because he must have some issue for
the democratic party and conditions
at present can raise no other.
Democracy is without a policy,
without a leader and almost with
out a party.
