EDITORIAL MEANNESS.

We were never more puzzled in
our life than we are now to &C.
count for the conduct of that cuss
of the arizona Miner. We have
been badly, yes, most shamefully
treated by him. "To prove this
let fac is be submitted to candid
world"
On the completion of the line
of Telegraph connecting Yuma
with Prescott, we, by the kind
permission of Col. Rockwell, A.
@. NJ. and Com modore Haines,
Superintendent, sent a congratu-
latory dispatch to the editor of
the Miner, announcing the joyful
event. Everybody knows that
this is a military telegraph, but
as above stated, we were permit
ted to send that, the first citizen
telegram that ever passed over
the wires. We esteemed this a
high privilege, and expected, and
he'd a right to expect that it
would be gladly received and
courteously responded to. Was
this done? No; no response ever
came. We waited several days,
and Commodore Haines repeated.
ly telegraphed to John H. Marion,
the said cuss who presides oyer
the Miner, asking him to send
some response to our greeting.
On the day of our going to press,
last week, we particularly desired
some recognition of onr aforesaid
telegram, that we might publish
it, and Commodore HaineS again
telegraphed to the editor of the
Miner asking him to send some
response Immediately. But none
came! nor has any come yet.
Now we ask all our editorial
brothers and all right thinking
men. "What do you think of
such Conduct as those?" Can any
thing be more uncivil or discour-
focus? We cannot account for it,
particularly as the relations be-
tween the editor of the Miner and
Ourself have always been of the
most cordial and friendly charac-
ter. We fear that our worst ap.
prehensionS are realized, and that
Marion's glory has departed. 1t
may be that he is sick. If so, we
AXE this all back. If not, we
mean it all, and more too. We
had our fears. Take a rusty old
bachelor editor and raise him to
he summit of connubial felicity, |
md in nine cases out of ten IL is |
more than he can stand. His
,rain reels, reason totters, he is a
,oner.
Alas, poor Marion! we ne'er
hall look upon his like again!
Ne write this more in sorrow
han in anger. Adios amigo.
Sic transit gloria mundi." |

.PATRoNIzE HOME INDUSTRY,

10 40 o' AioUIOA Cio9 every HAN
should lay to heart who desires
the well being and future pros
erity of Arizona.
In the early settlement of this
Territory, like the first settle
ment in any new country, there
was no home industry to patron
ize. For many years nearly every
thing used for the sustenance of
the people had to be imported.
With the exception of a few We
getable products, everything had
to be purchased of citizens in
other States. The necessaries of
life had to be transmitted several
hundred miles at great expense,
and in many cases the cost Of
freight was many times more
than the original cost of the arti-
Gle. And all this had to be paid
for by the consumer, who was
producing nothing in return, and
all the money thus paid, went
out of the Territory never to re-
turn.
1t must be apparent to any in
telligent person that this course,
persisted in for any length of
time, must hopelessly ruin any
community. Where, then, is the
remedy? That question is easily
answered. The remedy is here.
Within ourselves. It is to pro-
duce in the Territory those very
articles for which we have been
paying so much money to parties
bringing them from other States
and Territories. In other words,
to keep at home the money that
we have been paying for foreign
productions, and save the i'm
mense amount that we have been
paying for freight. There are
some indispensable articles which
are not yet produced in the Ter
ritory, and Of course they must
be imported, for q time. But we
know that with industry and
energy, we are capable of pro-
ducing nearly all the. necessaries,
and many of the luxuries of life.
Until very recently all the flour
used in Arizona was imported.
But now, look at the great change
that has been effected by we'll
directed energy and capital. A
complete revolution has taken
place in this article Of trade and
consumption, andwe now manu-
facture as good flour as we ever
received from abroad, and enough
to supply the demand And the
same may be said ofall the bread.
StuffS.
The Inauguration of this great
change cannot be over-estimated.
If we could have spread before us
the whole amount of money paid
out for imported bread-stuffs, since
the settlement of the Territory by
Americans, the figures would be
startling. And now to stop that
great drain, and keep that vast
amount of money at home, is
certainly a great consummation.
1t is one great progressive step in
the development of our vast re-
sources. 1t will be followed by
other enterprises in production
and manufactures, until we will
become not only a consuming
people, but a producing people.
And then our real prosperity will

age home industry by ratroniz-

US pure base the articles produced
