luUrx-.-i at the Postcice at Tucson According toAct cfCongresi as s Matter.

WT.r.BTOT BROWN, - IicJJAcarw

Foster S. Dennis ia being pushed forthe position of surveyor general. Fos-

ter ia a good mac, but he ia sot in itwith a Tucson man.

Tnr: democrats of Arizona are alreadybegiEnicg to lead out their lambs forsacrifice. Judge Hawkins is mentionedas a candidate for congress.

Tkoccle is already reported from thenew mining camp in Cochise county.People are quarreling over town lotp. Itwill not long be before they start theirgrave yard, that necessary edjunct cf a

new western town. This is truly cheerleg news.

A mining man of long experience in-

forms the Citizen that the Oro 13ianc

raining district will prove itself to bethe biggest in the southwest, He sayshe recently examined odb mine therewhich would bring one million dollarif situated ia Colorado.

The refusal of tle sultan to admitagents of the Rad Cress society has aBuspiciou3 lcoir. Instead cf the reasongiven, it would appear tnat be ia cfr&id

the cgent3 would unvail the true nstureof the horrible atrocities that havebeen visited on the unfortunate Arme

nians.

Edwin Fields, formerly owner cf thegreater portion cf the toansite of Tomb-Etone- ,

which made him immenselywealthy, has been sent to an alms housein an eastern statp, having lost bismensy by bad speculations. Mr. Fieldswas known in Southern Arizona as anupright, liberal gentleman, and the ad-

versity that has overtaken him in hieold age is sincerely regretted.

In a labored article in a democraticp3per attempting to fcbow that the re-

publican party in congress is the enemyof free coinage, and the democraticparty is a friend of the measure, notnicgis Eiid of the fact that a democraticpresident and congress repealed thelast prop to silver. A discreet silance is

also maintained concerning the fact thatthe praeident recommended the retire-ment of the st bearing greenbajks, and the issuance of interest bear-in-;

bonds in their place. But it is notto be expected that the democrats wouldb so ingenuous as to cocdemn them-

selves.

Tcdging from the Phoenix papers,and communications therein, it is appar-

ent that tbe political affairs of Maricopacounty are in a bad fix. Accusationsare made that a political ticg has beenand is looting the county treasury, andloud calls are being made for the forma-

tion of good government clubs tostraighten out matters. It ia to be re-

marked that this condition of affairs in

Maricopa county is the direct result ofthe same causes that brought about alike rssult in other badly governed com-

munities a blind and unreasoning ad-

herence to one party through a longcourse of years. Such political actionresults in schemers and corrupt menobtaiaicg office and control, and whenit ia too lata the people wake up to thedisagreeable fact that they have beenrobbed, and lay the blame on everybodybut the real culprits themselves.

Is conversation with a gentleman re-

cently in business in Los Angeh-s- , butnow a resident of Tuceoh, the Citizenlearrs that the business men of Tucsonere generally in much better financialcondition than the California boom city.The gentleman quoted, who is iu a con-

dition to kaow whereof he speak, 6ayathe opposition in business is so keenthat business houses having 639,000 to510.00D invested are glad if at th endof the month it can be shown tnat ex-penses have been made. Another point19 that the merchants of Tucson do nothave to apply to the banks for accommo-dation. On the contrary, the majorityof them carry deposit3 in our localbanks. This ia gratifying, showing thatthe business interests of our city ere ona solid foundation, that our people, &s a

rule, are free from the incumbrances ofmortgage?, that fhe city is not in needof factitious boom methods to keepafloat, and that old Tucson ia inarchiccsteadily forward cn the safe tnd per-

manent road of sound commercial con-

servatism.

The Citizes is in receipt of numerouscommunications from eastern commer-cial organizations soliciting cooperationin an effort to make a charge in thepostal laws. The changes desired arethe reduction of letter postage to onecent and the merging cf the second,third and fourth classes iuto ore classat the uniform rate of eight cents ptrpound. One part of the proposed chargei3 all tight, that of reducing letter post-

age, and would doubtless prove veryagreeable to the gentlemen corrpoeicgthese commercial organization". Butwhen they attempt to make up this re-

duction of the postal revenues by raisingnewspaper postage tight hundred percent, tbe lieinterestednees cf theirp ibiic spirit is open to criticism. News-papers can hardly be expected to en-

thusiastically support a measure thetwould so largely increase one importantitem of their expenditure. Such an in-

crease would add a burden to the busi-

ness cf newspaper publishing that wouldshut out every newspeper in the UnitsdStates from the mails. These gentlerreihave sot given the matter proper consi-

deration, else they would not have madesuch, a ridiculous proposition.

California ia rejoicing at a generousand general rainfall. It is now tiaie tm

Ar.zoaa to come in f.ir a little wet.

Tma being !csp year, it ia prob&blo(bat it will prove an unusually disastrousone for the preachers.

The Citizen acknowledges receipt ofthe Baltimore Son almanac. It ia a

well gctton up and well printed publication of 14S pages, contiioing a largefund of information.

The ministers of F.l Puso, represent-ing the moral element, and eatan,

the prize fighters, are engagedin a lively scrap in that town, but atlast Recounts satan has decidedly thebest of the tight.

The hog has got into politics in aDelaware town. The American heghas always been locked upon as a persono rather promiscuous habits, and nowbe may be considered a complete Bocial

failure.

The republican house of repreenta-tive- sbaa broken all records on the pae-ea-

of appropriation bills by passing thepension bill yesterday. The bill appro-priates 8141,325,820. It takea the repub-licans to transact business.

The Las Vegas Optic nays chargeshave been preferred again6t CollectorShannon, averring that tbe charges were

the result of a saloon row betweenShannon and Governor Thornton. Thisia nnGther indication of democraticharmony.

It is said that Speaker Reed is opposedto the admission of Arizona for fearthat it would add to the strength of thesilver party in congress. That beingthe case Tommy cannot expect tbesupport of Arizona for the presidentialnomination.

It may sound strange to some thatthe United States government shouldapply to Great Britain to protect Amer-

ican citizens in the Transvaal and thatthe British government 6hould sopromptly respond. But it should beremembered that England claims suzerainty over the Boer republic, and by

virtue of such claims is bound to see

that the Boers treat foreigners rightlyor stand the consequences.

The Star has a very sensible articleon the statehood question, which theCitizen fully endorses. What Arizonawants is the right of self government,and this cen only be obtained by a unit-ed effort cf all tbe citizens of the terri-toryrepublicans, democrats and popu-

lists. Tbe republicans are united, thereare no differences iu the populist organi-

zation, and it is to ba expected that thegovernor and his paper will hold thedemocrats well in hind.

If it is true that England intends tosend the flying squadron to the Bermu-

das it can hardly be looked upon in any

other light thin a warlike demonstra-tion agairiEt the United States. Englandought to know better thBn to attemptany such game with the United States.We are of tbe same Anglo Saxon stock,and that race has never yet been knownto take a bluff; acd England ought toknow this by bitter experience. If, asthis move would indicate, she is spoil-

ing for a fight, we will try and accom-

modate her, and we are vain enough tobelieve that ws could make it reason-ably interesting for our British coueine.

After a spirited contest Chicago suc-

ceeded iu getting lh9 democratic nation-al convention, and th9 date was finallyset for July 27. This late date is out ofthe usual manner of procedure in suchcases, it having been tbe usual customfor the party being in power to hold itsnational convention first But tbe democrats realize that although in powerthey are in the minority and not in verygood odor with the majority of theAmerican people, and therefore haveget a late date for the convention in thehope that they may be able to take advantage of some mieteke made by therepublicans. But it is useless for themto make any such calculations.

The gold bug press of the easternstates is getting upon its bind legs andyelling themselves red in the face, ac-

cusing the free 6ilver men in the senatewith blocking what tbey term is needful legislation, which in their casemeans authority for the issuance ofmore bonds. But never a word does tbegold bug press utter about the practi-cal nullification of law by tbe presidentand secretary of the treasury. This isall right, because it pUys into the handsof the gold ring. But when men whoare supposed to be possessed of reason-able intelligence, because of the pos'tionthey occupy as United States senators,attempt to accomplish something in theict?rest of the common peopl j they immediately become cranks, visionary enthusiasts and pig Leaded obstruction-ists. But the silver senators are not eoregarded by western people who sincerely hope that they may be able to obstruct tbe "mush reeded legislation"until something is done for commonevery day folks.

The people of the United States donot desire war, but they are very muchin earnest in their advocacy of the Mon-

roe doctrine, believing that its enforce-ment is necessary to the ; eacef ul existence of our government. Therefore itis not to be supposed that Americanswill give any support to Senator Sewell e

resolution, It has too much the ap-

pearance cf a backdown and a surrend-er of the vital principle of the Monroedoctrice. The deepseat?d feeling of thepeople on this question wi:s evinced bythe enthusiastic 6nd inanimous approv-al of the truly American cf Presi-dent Cleveland to the British premier.The Monroe doctrine, ever since itsenunciation, has received the endorse-ment of the American ppople, but hasalways been resisted by European gov-

ernments, they recognizing that anin its principles would prove

an effeotual bar to any piratical attemptson the weak governments on the SouthAmerican continent. Having contendedfor 60 many years for a recognition of

this doctrine, it is recognizsd that thepresent favorable opportunity for a defi-

nite settlement of the question shouldbe improved, regardless of consequences,and any dodging of the question will re-

ceive ecaut favor.

ABOUT III:PRESENTATION-Th- e

time for holding the conventionto e!ct delegates to the St. Loui con- -

vmbc is not so far distrot aa to makea few n.ni2iki concerning the matterout of order.' According to the apportionment made by tbe national com-

mittee, Arizona is entitled to six delegates and six alternate. This is aliberal representation, and can andshould be eo distributed as to take inevery part of the territory. There aretwelve counties and twelve representa-tives to be elected. This gives an opp?

for every county to be represent-ed in a matter that ia of great interestto all members of tbe party. In thepast some very bitter quarrels have beenengendered by the action cf the populouscounties in overriding the weaker ocee,and these quarrels have in the paet bada marked influence in the elections. Butthe liberal allowance of the nationalcommittee presents a means, by wiseaction on the part of Arizona republic-ans, to prevent a possibility of a recur-rence of tbe diffeiencea of the past.The republican party of every portionof Arizona is entitled to representation,therefore the Citizen advocates theplan of giving each courty either adelegate or alternate, believing that sucha policy wouid best serve the interestof the party.

Fkom the way the houe has ststteJin it is evident there will be an early ad-

journment of congress.

It is authoritatively denied that Ecg-lan- d

has sent troops to tbe Venezuelanfrontier.

A "hard times supper" will shortly begiven in Phoenix says the Gazette. Sorryto hear it.

The republican congress is makingcampaign thunder, by the prompt cia- -

patch of business. It is a pretty good

sort of thunder.

Some people are dieposed to jump onDelegate Murnby because of his speechbefore tbe committee on territories inadvocacy of the statehood bill, claiming

that be has misrepresented Arizona andbroken pledges made during the lastcampaign. A careful reading of Mr.Murphy's speech does not bear out sucha conclusion. And moreover, Mr.Murphy is evidently endeavoring tocarry out one of the pledges be madeduring bis canvas of the territory touse his best efforts to procure tbe admis-

sion of Arizona as a state. Mr. Murphyhas been in Washington now about two

months, and it is to be presumed thatduring that time he has gauged theprevailing sentiment and is pursuingthe course that will, in bis jodgment,be most likely to bring about the desiredresult. If a person wants a faver it issurely not good policy to needlesslyoffend the people who have the powerto grant tbe favcr desired. Almost anystratagem is considered legitimate in thegame of politics. Arizona wants state-hood, and wants it bad. and if Mr. Mur-

phy can succeed in his efforts, lo matterby what means, be will be praised in-

stead. Let us get in firet. We willtake care of tbe silver question after-wards.

Some days ago the Citizen containedreference to a communication in theSan Francisco Call, taking to task tbecorrespondent, Leonard Fowler, for saying unkind things of Tucson. Mr.Fowler wrote this effie a letter, deny-

ing that he had said anything derogat-ory of Tucson, and saying that the Citizen must have been misinformed. Mr.Fowler's letter a' so contained a lot ofstuff about the Call requiring reliabilityon the part of its correspondents. Thisis undoubtedly what the Call desires,but it is evident that sometimes it setsfooled. Regarding the denial of Mr.Fowler that he said anything unkindof Tucson, the Citizen quotes what hesaid in the Call dated Sunday, January5th: "If tbe deductions are worthanything tbe fate of Tucson is sealed.That thriving city will be abandoned,and thus one of the very oldest townsin the southwest will sink from its pres-

ent prosperity and decay just as didthose other towns along the line of theArizona Central when that road wasabandoned years ago." If this ia com-

plimentary language in the estimationof Mr. Fowler, the Citizen confessesthat its early education has been sadlyneglected and would be pleased to takea few lessons of this correspondent inorder to properly understand the Hysterica of tbe English language. No objection can be or is made to all tnat Mr.Fowler may say in favor of Phoenixand the Salt River valley, but when heattempts to increase the force of hispraises by ettvious flings at otter com-

munities he must expect that bia slanders will be resented, and if repeated wilinot be so polite as this reply.

The Farmer at Phoenix.Tne firet farmers' institute held under

tbe auspices of the Arizona AgriculturalastccialioD, opened at Phoenix on Fri-day morning with a larger attendancethan at the initial convention last Oc-

tober.The regular program of tbe institute

was opened with a paper by Dr. N. II.Claflin, foreman of the branch experi-ment station at Phoenix ppon '"The In-

spection of Fruit and Fruit Trees," inwhich he dwelt upon tho necessity ofmaintaining a rigid system of inspectionof all fruits, and especially fruit trees,if tbe fruit industry of Arizona is togrow to the proportions which otherconditions warrant, or even to maintanits present status. He presented a syn-opsis of the laws enforced in variouscounties in California, and of blankforms used by inspectors. In answer tothe question Prof. Tourney stated thatSan Jose scale is found upon pears inthe valley. The crown, not knot, wasdiscussed, and suggestions made as toits cause, but no conclusions reached.

Chaplain Scott of Tempe, found thattrimming off of tbe affected parts didnot save tbe trees, but clean stock re-mained clean and healthy. lie alsofound that trees in low grounds weremore apt to be affected. It was recom-mended that the crown knot about tbetree at the surface of tbe ground couldbe cut and tbe conditions improv-ed. The puncturing of the knots andapplication of a solution of blue stonewas recommended.

The next question was the "Swine In-terests of Arizona," opened by E. Kiye,of Phoenix, who showed the mietake'inproducing the pure alfalfa fed pork.which kilied the market for Arizonapork. But by tbe introduction of corninto the ration a better product is produced, and by the proper combinationthe finest pork may be raised. Not leesthan COO, C00 pounds of cured pork areimported into this region annually. AHthis should be produced at home, and afirst rate article will easily find a marketabroad. Chaplain Scott is feeding sweetpotatoes. He es3erts that the potatoescan be grown for $1.25 a ton. It wasstated that thirty head of hogs could becrown to market upon one acre of alfalfa. A plea was made for packinghouses to care for the hog when it isready for it. It was s'ated that at leasttwo sacks of barley is necessary to re-move tbe "fishy" flavor from alfalfa fedpork. A committee of three was nppointed to with the officers insecuring 6uch legislation as may be de-

termined uron. The committee consistsof Messrs. M. II. McCord, S. S. Greenand J. W. Wolf.

The next wes a paper by DirectorDevcl, of tbe experiment station, upon"Feed Rations for Dairy cows." Hepointed out tbe poor and unprofitablemetbcd9 now employed and showed howto overcome it. He gave a 6eries oftables showing the rations fed by thebest dairymen in the United States,then took up the materials at hand inArizona and demonstrated that a perfectfood ration can be produced cheaply inArizona and dairying be made a mcstprofitable business. The typioal rationsprepared by him were asked for in printto be put in use. A discussion followedin which organization was asked for tohandle the milk and market tbe product.The slipshod methods employed so longt ere condemned from all sources, lion1!. II. McCcrd, of the board of control,then spoke at length upon "What Arizona Needs and how to Obtain it." Hepreeeuttd the needs of the territory ascentering in statehood, and ehowed tbereason why. Tbe following resolutionwas then passed by e rising vote toemphasize it:

"Reolved, That we earnestly urgeand recommend the passage by congressof an act enabling the people of Arizonato form a constitution of state government, and providing for the early admission into the union.

Geo Scbormish of Mesa then openedthe discussion upon "Organizing toMarket Fruit?, and a resolution waspassed recommending orgacizicg as acorporation and a committee to lookafter the matter.

The programme for the evening wasas follows:

Washington, Jan. 16 There weresome interesting episodes in the houf--

today, inspired by Grow, rep., whodeclared that the New York chamberof commerce, in a pamphlet widelycirculated, cast reflections on the goodfaith of the house. The pamphletcriticized tbe houso for cot paying theCanadian sealers $400,000, which, it i sasserted, had been arbitrated and awarded to the owners of seized vessels.Crisp, dem., made a point that thpamphlet presented no question of pri-

vilege. Grow contended tbat since thereflections u pen members of the housewere questions of privilege, a reflectionupon the whole bouse was much moreprivileged. The board cf arbitrationdid cot award a dollar of damages,Grow declared. "If tbat had been doneit would have been dishonest not to payit, and it is a reflection on tbe house tosay that such award was made and notpaid." The speaker ruled that no question of privilege was presented, where-upon Grow took his seat, saying, "WellI am satisfied."

diate legislation to extend the limit oftime within which suits can be broughtby the government to annul grants ofpublic land.

Second Tbat the question ef resistingany acquisition of territory by conquest

was limited, as stated by Mr. Webster,to cases in which by reason of proximitysuch acquisition would be dangerous toour safety and the integrity of oar In-

stitutions.Third That the tue proond upon

which the Monroe dciirite waa basedand upon which any 6i:nil r position hasbeen taken, rests for it-- jud ifica ion up-on that which may be our interests andour interests only ; and tht neither bytbe Monroe doctiine or official declara-tion have we ever come uuder any pledgeto any power cf estate on this continenttbat binds us to act merely fcr protec-tion against invasion or encroachmentsby any other power.

Fourth That when the case arises inwhich a European power proposes toacquire territory by invasion or conquestit is then for us to determine whetherour6afety and integrity demands thatwe shall resist such action by armedforce if necessary.

Fifth That the executive Las pressedthe Mocrce doctrine beyond what wascontemplated at the time of its an-nouncement, and the resultant sequenceof the position thus taken eeems to be acommital of this government to a pro-tectorate oyer Mexico aad Central andSouth American state ; that this wouldbe most unwise and dang rcu3 andwould violate a found well esttblishedpolicy that we should avoid all entangl-ing aliia.ce9 with foreign power wheth-er they be European or American.

Sixth That thia action was prema-ture, look;ng to tbe bis'ory cf the con-troversy, and inopportune, in view cf tbebusiness and financial condition of thecountry.

eleventh That neither congress rprthe country can be nor has been com-mitted by the action of the executivedepartment in reference to the Venezue-lan boundary controversy as to thecourse to be pursued until the time shallhave arrived fcr final determination.It will then be our province to adoptsuch a line of policy and to take suchaction as may then be demanded by oursense cf duty to tbe country acd by adue for its hocor and dignity,the welfare acd safety of our people andthe integrity of our ics itutions.

Imports from the United Stateswere due to currency troubles and wantof confidence arising tberefrcm, but, inhis opinion, the troubles would not con-tinue much longer acd when these diff-iculties were overcome, as he could notbut hope, they will be sooner or later,this tide might turn tbe current intothe opposite direction and it might setin ith great rapidity and force.
