The Story of 8 Medicine.

Its nameVGolden Medical Discovery" was suggested by one of it's most import ant and valuable ingredients = Golden Seal root.
 Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Pierce dis covered that he could, by the use of pure, triple-refined glycerine, aided by a cer- tain degree of constantly maintained heat and with the aid of apparatus and appliances designed for that purpose, ex- tract from our most valuable native me- dicinal roots their curative properties much better than by the use of alcohol, so generally employed. So the now world famed TGolden Medical Discovery" for the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, or dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness and kindred derangements was first made, as 1t eyer sinGe has bSen, without particle of alcohol ip its makeup.
 ents, printed on eXerX bottle-wrapper, will show that it is hade from the most valuable medicinal ots\found growing Tn our American foreStS9 All these in- gradients have received the StTOlRest el- PeEtSA teachers Dd-Nrlt terS-on MGLerlG NedtcG who recQmmend- them aS- the XeCY best remedies for the diseases for which Golden MedlcaIQiScQYerY is adYfsed-
 A little book of these endorsements has been compiled by Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., and will be mailed free to any one asking same by postal card, or letter addressed to the Doctor as above. From these endorsements, copied from standard medical books of all the differ ent schools of practice, 1t will be found that the ingredients composing the Gold en Medical Discovery" are advised not only for the cure of the above mentioned diseases, but also for the cure of all ca tarrhal, bronchial and throat affections, accompanied with catarrhal discharges, hOarseneSS, sore throat. lingering. or hang-On-c coughs, and all those wasting affections which, if not promptly and in consumption. Take Dr. Pierce's Dis covery in time and persevere in it's use until you give it fair trial and it is not likely to disappoint. Too much must not be expected of it. It will not perform miracles. It will not cure consumption in it's advanced stages. No medicine will. 1t l0tlJ cure the affections that lead up to consumption, f tGbe7I tII time.

things that have been said, written and proved by the record. by those who are fighting joint statehood.
 In all the pages of the paper there is only one affirmative argument. and that is not a new one. It has been ad- vanced by every demagogue in the dis cussion of almost every public question within the last ten years. The burden of it is that what is good for the cor porations is not good for the people.
 The fact that the railroads and the mining companies of this territory do not want joint statehood is held up as a reason why all other citizens should want it, when. in fact, all other classes of taxpayers have long since realized that whatever peril in jointure menaces the corporations. menaces them.
 In this connection we may speak of a circumstance which our joint state hood friends have overlooked. That is that the corporations of New Mexico are not opposing jointure, though it would put them into the same boat with the Arizona corporation. Their capital is no more highly assessed there than similar property on this side of the line In fact, the assessment of some kinds of property is lower there. For instance. the Southern Pacific pays taxes on $7OOO a mile, while in Arizona it is assessed at $11.0OO. We may add, though, that the territorial tax rate in New Mexico is little more than twice as high. We do not know of anybody in Arizona, farmer or railroad owner, who is clamoring for higher tax rate. The Arizona National by it's editor ials and the speech of MT. Ainsworth, would have the voters of Arizona be- Heve that out of the alleged iniquities of our government and the known in- iquities of the New Mexican govern ment, a perfect state government would be evolved; that the impurities of the two territories would be purified by the mingling; that some psycho-chem- icaI change would ensue. In short. that it is possible for one to lift himself by his bOot-straps.

R IA cREENE HoME-R

R. H. GREENE HOMER II. Green returned home yesterday from a visit to the coast that began about the first of August. He spent three weeks in Seattle with relatives and friends, three or four days in San Francisco, and the rest of the time in Los Angeles and at the nearby beaches. Seattle, he says, is booming in a most marvellous way, though it can hardly be buster than at the other places, for building is the order of the day clear from San Diego to Puget sound. San Francisco, of course is lively in the reconstrUc- tion of the great city and the activity at Los Angeles and the beach towns seems to be unabated. He says it is estimated that there are ten or twelve thousand men in Los Angeles engaged in the real estate business either as dealers or employees. and it is reported that there are about 500 in the town of Long Beach alone, similarly engaged. Though there appears to be no sign of a lull, the limit wifi naturally have to be reached some time. It is MT. Greene's opinion that before prices go much higher in the coast towns, Los Angeles capital will turn in this direc- ton for investment. where there are even more opportunities and where prices are so much lower. He don't know just when this turn will begin, but he feels certain that it will not be very long until Californians will be falling over themselves to buy Salt River valley property. Mrs. Griffin, MT. Greene's sister, who accompanied him to Seattle, expects to return in october.

A SINGLE ILLOGICAL ARGUMENT

' n
 The Arizona National was added to the gayety of territorial journalism yesterday. This is the organ of the joint statehood party. formed to assist in the re-election of Delegate Mark Smith, and it is editorially directed by a lifelong friend of Mir Smith and who has never missed a stroke in aiding and abetting MT. Smith whenever he has been q candidate for office.
 Next to the success of MT. Smith the Arizona National seems to have most at heart the surrender of Arizona to New Mexico. The front page bristIes with the speech of Candidate Aims worth delivered at the late joint state hood convention redeHvered at the Tucson ratification, and in whose de- livery MT. Ainsworth may now be pre- sumed to be letter perfect.
 There are editorials large and small. also counseIling the giving up of Ari- zona to New Mexico The speech and the editorials are chiefly devoted to controverting by bare denial many

For Delegate to Congress Win. F. Cooper
A PLAIN DUTY.

The few jointists among the repub- licans of this county, that is, the avowed jointists and the jo.ntists un- der cover, affect to misunderstood the motive of The Republican in urging upon the republican county convention today the adoption of a strong anti- joint statehood resolution.
 They assert that the suggestion was made that the energy of the party might be spent in opposing joint state hood and that all other business might be. in consequence, neglected.
 We think The Republican has al ready made itself clear on this point Anti joint statehood cannot be affected by any action of either one or both of the county conventions today. We do not believe that anything that might be done at either convention would add a jot to the strength of the anti-jOint- ure sentiment of the county or remove a little of that strength. The voters of the Salt River valley have already de- termined what they will do with refer ence to jointure. and they have also doubtless made up their minds what they will do to the candidates of party whose record on the jointure question is not very explicit.
 The plea of The Republican was not, therefore in behalf of anti joint state hood, but in behalf of the republican party and the gentlemen who shall to- day be put upon the ticket.
 There are. we understand. a few timid republicans who believe that the business of joint statehood, having been already practically disposed of, there is no need of Haunting red rag in the faces of the handful of jointist republicans whose votes may be needed at the election.
 If this red rag Cthat is, if they elect to regard it as a red rag) be not flaunt- ed in the faces of the jointists, nine tenths of the voters of the county will consider that the convention has dis played the white rag and surrendered the overwhelming majority to the few
 We are certain that such a cowardIy and time-serving policy would be re- buked on election day.
 Antijoint statehood has nothing to gain from the convention today, but the convention has everything to gain from the anti-joint statehood sentiment of Maricopa county.
 The adoption of a vigorous anti jointure resolution need not interfere with any other business before the con- vention. We have no desire to direct the convention concerning it's mani fold duties. The delegates have been chosen to attend to them and they are capable of doing it, but we cannot re- frain from warning them against a fatal neglect, which has been advised solely by openly avowed jointists and by those. if whose skin were scratched, would be found to be jointists.
 The county democrats are hopeful that this fatal advice will be needed today; that there will be either no re- publican declaration against jointure. or that if there be one, it will be stamped with the brand of cowardice or compromise and that republican ticket will be put into the field with the ground cut completely from under

FOR EFFICIENT MEAT iNsPEc

NO CANAL LEGISLATION.

canal may be tied up once more.
The report of the Senate committee
favorable to n sea level waterway Is

type there will he no canal legi;a-
