The Railroad Questions to be
Brought Before Congress.
NEW YORK, Nov. Pa Spe-
cial dispatch to the Times from
its well Informed correspondent
al Washington, states that there
will be a great pressure brought
to bear upon Congress this Win
ter in behalf of both the Northern
Pacific and the Texas and Pacific
Railroad. One of these Com
panies, it is stated, has sent an
agent to many, and probably to
every one of the members of Con-
gress, during the recess, to lay
the interests of the road before
them in the most attractive way,
by personal appeal and argument.
The other Company has been
none the less active in other ways
The hope of the Railroads, says
the correspondent, lies in the
fact that a large number of the
members are to retire from Con-
gress at the end of this session.
Such members will be able to give
au untrammeled vote.

WE ARE MARCHING ON.

There never was time in the
history of Arizona when the pros
pect was so bright as it is now.
We have not heard of any murd-
ers or other outrages committed
by the savages for some time past.
Peace, smiling peace reigns, and
if the War Department will let
General Crook remain in the Ter
ritory, we have no fear of any
more Indian war. We may ex-
pect that for some time to come,
some of the worst and most incor-
rigible of the red devils will oc-
casionally leave their reservations
and take to the mountains, but
Crooks system of catching them
is so perfect and their punish
ment so certain, that such cases
are becoming few and far between
and we hope and believe will
soon cease altogether. The fruits
of this blessed peace are the great
impetus that is given to industry,
and the confidence that now in
spires men to enter into those en-
terprises that are calculated to
uncover and develop our bound
less resources.
The effect can already be seen
on all sides. There is more acti-
witty in the mines than there ever
was before, and the more our mi
ners sink their shafts into the
bowels of the earth, the more is it
demonstrated that we have the
greatest and richest mineral re-
gion on earth. But it is not only
among our own people that this
confidence is felt, but men in all
parts of the United States and
Europe, who long ago would have
been glad to come to Arizona, but
were deferred from doing so from
fear of the hostile savages, are
now willing and anxious to come.
Travel is increasing, the hardy
miner, the farmer and the man of
wealth are coming. Capitalists
are investing their money in
mines and ranches, and enter
prises of great Importance to the
welfare and prosperity of the Ter
ritory are being entered into.
Aside from the great wealth of
our mines, we have, as we often
have remarked, the best pastoral
country in the world and a elm
ate, or rather climates, to suit
people from all parts of the earth.
We grow all kinds of fruits, grains
and vegetables that are raised in
the world. In the greater part of
the Territory, stock require no
shelter. The wool produced here
commands higher price in the
market than that from any other
part of the continent, because of
its freedom from burs and its gen.
eral excellent quality.
Wool has been sent to San Fran
cisco from Prescott, that was pro-
duced twenty-five miles north of
that place, that brought price
enough over the best California
wool to more than pay the expen-
SEES of transportation We have
open and unoccupied lands suffi.
Gent to sustain millions and mil
lions of sheep. Large focks have
been driven into the Territory
during the past year and all are do
ing well and increasing with great

First Lieutenant G. A. Earnest,
9Th Infantry, is assigned to duty
as depot commissary, Yuma De-
pot.
Heavy SHOWS are reported by
scouting parties as having fallen
in the mountains nearq the, head
Of Shevlen's fork, where detatch-
ments from Camps Verde and
Apache are operating.
A correspondent writing from
Cerbat, Mohave comfy, under
date Of November Oath, says the
Mexican who killed another Mex
lean short time ago. was himself
shot on Sunday last by a Mexican
named Juan and died early this
morning. Juan followed him on
horseback about a mile out of
town and in the presence Of two
men shot him. It is a bad case
and the Mexicans here, with one
or two exceptions feel very bitter.
For want of Jail, our powder
magazine answers the purpose
very well, although pretty damp.
George Tying, U S Marshal of
the Territory, arrived here from
Gutenberg this mOrning and will
remain a few days, after which
time he will go to Santa Barbara,
California. Mr.. Tying has for
warded his resignation, not wish
ing to be Marshal of Arizona any
longer than the fifteenth instant.

rapidity. Cattle and horses do
equally as well as sheep and ali
kinds of stock are remarkably free
from desease. Add to all this our
rich agricultural lands, and we
have a Territory that in a few
wears will make great, prosper
GUS and wealthy State. We are
marching on. The wealth of Ari-
IONA is beginning to be known
and appreciated and the tide OF
prosperity that is now setting In
will not again be checked.
One of the things calculated to
promote the growth and prosper
ity of a new country, just begin
ming to have some productions to
export, is cheap transportation.
In this connection we are glad
to be able to say that the Colorado
Steam Navigation Company is
carrying our productions to San
Francisco at very reasonable rates,
The following are their charges
on ores:
Fl Mobave to s. Francisco per ton, 500. 90
Williams Fork =" 1900
Ehrenberg " l2.OO
Eureka Castle Dome HOO
Yuma lO.0O
And on wool:
Fl Mohave to S Francisco per ton, $25 90
Yuma and Ehrenberg" ~ W
Let any man look at these fig
ures and say if this is not cheap
transportation for voyage of two
thousand miles. We hope in one
or two years to see the steamers
loaded down with wool every
trip, and we also hope to see that
wooden factory soon in operation,
which certain enterprising gen.
tlemen talk of building in Tucson.
And We'll still go marching on.

THE ISSUE FALRLYMADE.

The question of imitation of the cur
''rency" or increase Of paper money" was
fairly and squarely put before the Senate by
Mr. Conkling on Thursday, when he offered
his redistributing substitute for the cur
rency bill reported by the Committee on
Finance The burden of complaint from
the South and West had been that they
were without their share of currency and
other banking facilities. The plain infer
ence was that If this division could be
equalized and these sections supplied with
their quota of the present volume of cur
rsncy, they would be satisfied, at least for a
short period. No doubt was entertained
that the forty-six millions which Mr.. Conk-
ling proposed should at once be surrendered
by the East for the benefit of the South and
West was as much or more than capital in
those sections would be found to absorb
during the ensuing year.
The words of the Senator from New
York, in explanation of the offer of his
substitute, are so few and well chosen, so
admirably adapted to the occasion, that we
cannot forbear the temptation to reproduce
them here. They were 81 have few
,.words to say upon this amendment. 1t is
s'ofered in satisfaction of a complaint that
inequality exists between States in respect
s'of bank circulation. Lack of equality is a
''cc cclaint always to be needed. forbear
