President TeJada's New Competitor

The telegraph has informed us that Se1or Jose Maria Iglesias, the Presi- dent of the Supreme Court, has de .clared himself President of the Repub- lie of Mexico in default of legal cleo tion, and appointed a full cabinet and 'Other officers. It will be remembered that Tejada himself became President lon the death of JuareZ by virtue of
 holding the office of President of the
 Supreme Court. Senor Iglesias is not .Of the same class as some other MeXi-
 cans who have issued pronunciamien-
 toS. He has for thirty years held re
 Sponsible positions in the administra-
 ton of the Mexican Government and
 been one of the prominent personages
 in the Republic
 This new competitor for Presiden- tial hOnOrs was born in the City of Mexico in 1893. At the age of 9 he was appointed Professor of English and French in the College of IldefonsO. He subsequently, studied law, and in lS41 was elected to Common Council of the City of Mexico. During portion of the period in which hoSulitieS wag- ed between this country and Mexico, Iglesias was first Minister of the Su- preme Tribunal of War. In 1850 he occupied the position of Chief of the Section of Public Credit, and in 1852 he was elected 10 the National Con- eress. During the time of the French invasion, and the short reign of Max IgIeSlas was true to the Re public and faithful follower of Jua reg. \ Mexican writer three years igo, in describing the career of Igle- !. ,ias said; Three grand figures stood | orth in the midst of the struggle. against the intervention and the Elm )ire-Juarez, Lerdo, Iglesias, and to he cOnstancy of these men is due ;he alvation, the autonomy of the Repub- ic."
 Upon the execution Of Maximilian, when Juarez came into power, IgleSias Icld various posts in the Administra- ion. He was for some time Minister f Gobernabion, and also Minister of he Treasury. He has hitherto been loosely associated with Tejada, and be- ame President of the Supreme Court ! ;hen Tejada assumed the Presidency.

The Colorado Desert.

This formidable barrier to progress,
 we are glad to record, is likely to give
 way before its march. IL has doubt
 less been century or more since 1t ceased to be a sheet of water and be-
 came dry land, since which time its sl- rocco nature has repelled and forbid den man to traverse 1t. It has been some eighteen years since the plan was conceived and measures taken to con vert this JOrnada de Ia Muerte DeSert 1 of Death) into fruitful field, bill
 having been passed by the Legislature IOf California granting the right f the State to said desert lands to O. M. WOZ- eucraft, the originator and prOpagatOr of the measure. The Committee on
 Public Lands in Congress agreed to the passage of bill ceding the gener- .al governments right to the same; but owing to an unfortunate blunder, it
 was placed on the calendar instead of
 passing, and there it has rested until
 the present time. But it is about to be
 revived, and it is probable that it will
 pass at an early day during the next session. The patient persistence of the propagator of the measure is wor- thy of endorsement, and the public of California should wish him success at last, because that snccess can but prove highly beneficial to the State and na ton.
 This is an age of achievements in useful works - tunnelling the Alps, spanning the globe with electric wire, the Suez Canal, building the Atlantic and Pacific railroad and many other great works, among which ! are the proposed tunnelling of the Strait of Dover; the Isthmus Canal 1 the great North Sea Canal, connecting with the North Sea and | it seaport for large ships, | through the canal, with an artificial harbor at its mouth; the proposed ca nal to flood portions of the Desert off Sahara, by French scientists; and last | but not least, this projected work winch proposes to convert q vast dcs- srt into fruitful field, covering it with Terdure by means of bountiful intro iuction of water, thereby reducing its and making it habitable Or man.
 As it is now, siroccO blasts not only 'epel the traveller, but destroy often the lyer-venturesOme, and its whitening breath extends 10 adjacent lands and marks them with sterility. The reduc- ion of the temperature of the Desert, which is very great, would cause an increase of rainfall in the adjacent country, and that of itself should be q uticient reason and justification tor he general government to cede the terile Desert to any one who may en- -age to introduce water upon it. It is ,oped that no more impediments may ,e thrown in the way of accomplish l nent of thls needful work, but that we nay have to record this as one of the
 reat achievements of the age. As the Desert IS and is likely, If not quite ccr- ain, to be, should government conlin- e its past policy, it will be an abomi. atiOn and horror to all who may T ave tO cross it. But redeemed, it may e made tropical garden, fruitful and November %.

To the patrons of the Weekly Arizo, ma Miner we have, reluctantly, to . make the announcement that this IS
 the last number of the paper in which
 we shall be interested aS editor and
 proprietor, having disposed of the 'COncern tO MeSsrs. Beach and Marion. who will hereafter conduct the busi-
 ness, and, no doubt, wi,h the superior
 ability they will be able 10 bring tO the
 work, and the improved machinery we l have added to the office, give the read
 CTS of the Miner a better paper than we have done.
 Our relations with the people of Ari- Zona, as conductor of the Miner. have been very pleasant, and reasonably profitable in financial sense, there fore the only regret we have Is in sever ing such connection and being again adriit, as it were, and out of business. We have tried 10 fulfill every promise made two years ago when in assuming IcOntrOl of the paper we said we should avoid all political and religious qucs- tions, and not indulge in offensive personalities.
 We also announced that our aim would be to build up ana not pull down, any of the beneficial institutions of the country, whether the same should be conducted by individual en- terprise or associations and corpora tions. This promise we have con Stantiy in view, and while we are con- sciOuS of having been censured for not beng more captious If you please, or | perhaps cenSOriOus would be the better term, we have nevertheless pleased . ourself, and are content. We have | tried to represent the country fairly, !! without congregation, either for or i against its resources, and believe we have done so.
 In our dealings with the people. financially, we have endeavOred to be just and true to every engagement and have no complaint to make of having received other than like treatment at Inc hands of those with whom we had 1, To those who have been | kindly sOlicitOus to ascertain our fu- lure intentions, as many have done Us Inc compliment to enquire, we have only to say that we have no present in- enuon of changing residence, but will Ii lwait the turn of events for time, i md do that which shall seem best.
 We take leave of nur brethren of the Press.
