A dispatch from Yuma says that nearly
all the land along the Gila river,
from Yuma to Florence, distance of
about 235 mileS, has been taken up
under the Desert Land Act. The river
bottoms will average ons-fourth of mile
to six miles in width, and are said to be
the finest lands in the United States for
growing sugar cane. Portions are also
said to be well adapted to growing Or
anges. Two men, with the aid of proxies,
have recently located over forty square
miles of land along the Gila river. Ex-
tensive locations have been made
throughout that section of country.

spirit fully aroused. Gays the Nevada
(Cala. Gazette, they can find ii over on
the San Juan Ridge. The laboring mon
there have been brought into direct
competition with the Mongolians in al.
most every line of occupation. and they
are opposed to Chinese immigration and

The opposition is not confined to any

HAsrY VERDIcr.-The majority of
people are ever ready to judge the con-
duct of their neighbors-in other words,
to s'cast the first stone" But We have
no right to Judge others until we know
all of the circumstances that influence
their conduct. In many cases we might
initiate those we condemn, under like
circumstances. A young man employed
in a printing office in one of our large
cities incurred the ridicule of the other
omposit0rs, on account Of his poor
clothes aud unsocial behavior. On sew
eral occasions subscription papers were
presented to him for various objects, but
he refused to give his money. One day
\ compositor asked him to contribute for
a picnic party, but was politely refused.
Thereupon he accused him Of niggsrdli-
ness-an accusation which he fiercely re-
sented. "You little know" he said, "how
unjustly you have been treating me. For
more than q year, have been striving
myself 70 save money enough to send my

had been judged without knowledge OF

condemn. We cannot read the hearts Of

LORD GEORGE HAMILTON boosted, the

Fast Young Men i'm New York.

This class of young men is steadily
augmenting in New York. They will
not labor in any way. 1t was enough
for their fathers to do that. The family
estate is large, and are they not entitled
to share of it9 An allowance of $4,000
to $4,000 year is reasonable enough, is
it not2 They lounge at the clubs, dine
at Delmonico's, stroll on Fifth avenue
play billiards at the Windsor or some
other heightened establishment, drive
now and then in the park, occasionally
patronize the opera, attend fashionable
parties and make love to Laura and
Florence and Rosetta, and all the other
graces, and at the end of the year find
their allowance all gone and themselves
in debt as much more. AS rule, they
are not actually dissipated, in the sense
of being habitually incorporate, but
any means, and what they spend for
cigars would easily keep small family
in moderate comfort. r. H. Macy, the
Sixth avenue dry goods merchant who
died III Paris few weeks ago, leaving
100000 to his family, cut off his only
son with an allowance of $1,000 year,
solely because the young man had grown
so reckless and incapable of taking care
of money that it would have been ruin
Gus to himself to give him more. 1t
was for somewhat similar reason that
Commodore Vanderbilt left his second
son only 100000 out of his immense
estate. The Nathan boys were also wild
and extravagant, and gave their father
good deal of trouble in this way. 1t
would be easy to cite scores of illustra-
tons, but the general fact is sufficient.
The case of Macy has been mentioned.
Another of our dry goods millionaires
had a son, now dead, to whom he gave an
excellent education, but who fell into
habits of intemperance, married t1ighty
young woman, went abroad with her and
died there in poverty and obscurity.
There was, moreover, the case of the
wealthy and aristocratic George Hoffman,
whose son became infatuated with pop
ular danseuse, followed her to Europe and
married her, and died 0rom fast living
before he was twenty-one. The list
might be extended indefinitely, but to
make it any longer is needless. may,
however, take space to note the fact that
recklessness Of the kind here in question
seems to be more common among the
sons of men who grew rich during the
war than among any others. Whether
this is to be accounted for on the "put-a-
beggar-on-horse-b back and he will -ride-to
the-devil" theory do not pretend to say;
but observation satisfies me that there is
a good deal of truth in it at any rate.
Nearly all rich mems sons are decidedly
free in letting the money fly, one way or
another; but the sons of those who coined
their wealth out of war contracts are un-
questionably ahead in this respect.-Neso

IT surely cannot be necessary for MS TO
make lengthy appeal to Democrats to
vote for the entire county ticket. We
have several times discussed tho Prothono-
taryship, because of the disorganizing eff
fort of Nathaniel Horne to overthrow the
decision of the county convention, to whose
action he bad pledged himself in advance
20 submit. The candidate for District At
torney, William II. Rose, Esq, is admitted
to be peculiarly well qualified for an able
and prompt discharge of the duties Of the
office, and has given the people satisfactory
evidence of his ert re fitness du, ing the
time he has acted as the public prosecutor !.
Jacob Kirkpatrick, the candidate for Poor
House Director, richly deserves solid
Democratic vote, for .he reason that lie is
first class man in every respect, and is
honest, capable aud trustworthy. He is a
true n0rhingmaR in all that the term inn
plies, and not a bogus representative of
that large aud much deserving class Of the
community. The candidate for Coroner.
James Moreland, is an intelligent, industri-
ous and worthy citizen. and will discharge
the duties Of the office with satisfaction to
the people. These gentlemen have all
been fairly and regularly nominated, aud
are entitled to the support Of every Demo.

a WEST INDIAN HURKICANE.-Thc De-
partment of State has received from the
United States Consul at Curacao, Dutch
West Indies, An account Of the terrible hur-
ricane which swept over that i-land ON the
23d of September. The loss of property is
estimated at $2.0O0,O00. The loss of life
could not be estimated at the date of the
ConsuPs writing, but was undoubtedly
large. In the city of Curacao many of the
most solid structures were crushed as if
they had been things of paper by the waves
which rolled upon them mountains high.
and many persons were buried in the ruins.
People who were itch were made paupers
in all hour. The planters suffered largely
also, most of the plantations being strewn
with uprooted trees and wrecks of all sorts.
The American schooner Roswell, of East
port, Me-, j. ID. Catharin, master, was
driven ashore and wrecked at Little Cura-
Goa. The master and crew escaped and
reached the United States Consulate where
they we're received and taken care of. The
American brig Thetis arrived in Curacao
on the 25th, three days after the hurI icane,
in damaged condition, and was undergo
ing repairs at the date Of tho Cousul's writ

war Cornelius Dirk was caught IN the hur-
ricane and severely handled, losing q top

THE most important elections to take
place on next Tuesday are the following ::
In Massachusetts,, New Jersey, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, and Virginia, Governor and
Legislature will be elected i'm New York,
State officers, with the exception of Gov
ernor, and Legislature, and in Pennsyl-
vania, State officers. Elections will also be
held in few other States, but only for
minor Offices. The Democrats have strong
hopes of electing CASTOR, their candidate
for Governor in Massachusetts,, and also of
CARRYING Wisconsin. In New York the
election Of the DemocI attic State ticket is
not seriously questioned, the complexion of
the Legislature being the main feature in
the contest, as a United States Senator in
place of Mr.. Conkling depends upon the re-
suit. In New Jersey, the only question is
as to the majority General Mcclellan will
receive for Governor. 1t promises to be all
that his most ardent admirers could wish.
We make 10 confident predictions about
Pennsylvania, except 20 say that all the in
dicaiions are that the Democratic State
ticket will be successful, proCided that
Democrats everywhere will do .heir duty
by going to the polls. On that alone hangs
the result. In Minnesota tho Republi cans
will elect their ticket, while i'll Virginia
there is no organized opposition to the
Democratic candidate for Governor.

will be put to it's severest test at the ele'
tion in New York city on Tuesday next.
All Democratic nominations in that Demo

Tamrnny Hall before they are regarded as
regular Such q tremendous power has
been greatly abused, and in former years
has caused widespread dissatisfaction in
the Democratic ranks, resulting on some
occasions in open revolt against its candi-

element of Democratic opposition to the
iron rule Of Tammany is united against its
f.vorad candidates for city Offices. The

troduced a bill i'll the United States Sen
ate to place confederate soldiers on the

founded. Mr.. Merrimon's bill simply re
peals n section of tue Revised Statutes,
which prevents pensioners of the war Of 1872
who had the misfortune to live in the South
during the late civil war from receiving any
further pension money. The civil wal took
place when these men we've in their old age,
aud when they had little or no influence OH
either side. \ Republican House of Rep

III each district who would otherwise re-
main at home can be induced to go to the

is no other way by which the State can be
redeemed
