complications will arise, and It will be
some time yet before wecan come together
and shake hands as brothers all around,
once more. I hope that this view of the
subject is not correct; but ! notice that
holders of greenbacks are anxious to sell
at present rates, and there seems to be no
confidence among our business men in the
late fall in gold being permanent one.
ARIZONA.
A dispatch received by Gen. Mcdowell,
this week, from the War Department,
furnishes the gratifying intelligence that
Arizona is once more made part of the
Department of the Pacific. This change
the Pacific States and Terri
tories, and gives the commander of this
Department full control of the troops
raised on this coast. The interests OF
California, Nevada and Arizona are iden-
teal, and it is highly proper that one head
should direct military operations In all.
The commercial capital of the Pacific
States is San Francisco, and here is the
proper place for the location OF the mlii"
tary capital of the Western States OF the
continent.
NO HELP FOR OUR sIsTLR REPUBLICS
General Mcdowell, in General Orders
No. 2, published yesterday, shows that
the seizure and detention of the little
steamer Colon, purchased here for priva-
teer by Peru, (of which I have previously
written is endorsed by the War Depart
ment on the tiimsy pretext that all mate
rial suitable for building war vessels IS
needed by the United States Government,
but in IN explanatory note the General
adds that the regular trade in spars and
lumber, from Puget Sound, is not to be
interfered with. Now, it is well known
that the ship Aquilla, in which the
Camanche was sunk, has just been char
tered bv the French Government to load
with spars and lumber, from Puget Sound
for France for the French Government,
and this order, stripped of verbiage, SIM
ply means that France and spain need no
ships ready built, but are actively increas-
ing their fleets by building new war yes
sells to aid them in their infamous work OF
destroying every trace of republican hber-
ty in the New World, and they can have
all they ask. On the other hand, Mexico
Peru and other Spanish American Repub-
lies having no ship yards want only ready
made vessels, such as can be adapted and
fitted for war purposes, and these they
shall not have, although their very exis-
tence as nations depends on their get
ting them. This looks fearfully as if in
the extremity of our national difficulties,
we were buying off threatened foreign in
reference by consenting to the stranghng
of all our sister Republics by the Thugs
of Europe. If such is the case, and our
conduct towards Mexico goes still further
to show that is so, are we not committing
suicide while conserving to murder. and
surely favor the way for the eventual de-
struction of this Nation: When liberty
has been destroyed in all the country
south of US, and Imperialism has obtained
a fine foothold on all the balance of the
American continent, what then Does
any man suppose that the despots love
the model Republic so that they win make
no attempt to destroy it: Never believe
it!
WELCOME, DAN!

E. Sickles is to receive a grand ovation

charities as he may deem most deserving.
That is all
THE HYAs TYBB BALL.
Mrs. Major-General Mcdowell gave a
grand private ball, at the Occidental
Hotel, last evening-some five hundred
persons, supposed to represent the very
creme de Ia creme of San Francisco society,
being in attendance. 1t was a grand
affair, big thing, etc., etc., and I would
tell you all about it if it were not for one
fact tcGs MT there! Ny reasons for not
going number Just 1927. The first was
that I had no store clothes the second,
that 1 don't dance; the third, that l
had MT any invitation; the fourth-but
that and the remaining 323 reasons are of
a strictly private character, and / shall
