Favorable Comparison ef Tucson
 with Prescott.

In a Prescott letter to The Post, Col Hinton says Prescott "has more hopes than realization, more prospects than prosperity, yet it is thriving and busy" and farther on says:
 The question of Prescotts future enters into the scope of this letter. fear that the local pride which exists here, as at Tucson, so strongly, will not be satisfied witE what l may have tc say. The hospitality that has been shown me renders it no easy task tc write that cannot share In the hopes so generally entertained of the future importance of this place IL does mol seem to be on the highway 10 any. where in special; it does, however seem to be the center of very rich mineral section, which will of itself yet make an important place. Tucson on the contrary, which struck me as | so uncomely" " in its outward aspect must have before 1t large future of general importance. It Is at the al. verging point af great natural geo graphical high road. The main arter l ial route east and west must pass | through or near It, and from it, going souIhward, will diverge the main rail road, not only 10 the gulf of California | but to the City of Mexico, and so in | the not distant future knitting to us | the Caribbean sea and the isthmus of ! Panama in one great system of scicn tific highways. Looking at the phy. sical geography of the region, north and south, and viewing Its relations to the entire country, 1 observe that the 32d paralled route is through a great valley-that of the Gila-fOr a large part of the distance it lrayerses in Ari- ZOna. 1 observe that this is the only valley road opening through the Amer ican Cordilleras, from the Mexican to the British line. The pathway of the ! largest material activity must, then, be found within that basin My views on the future importance of Tucson, gen eral as we'll as local, are founded on Imv conception of the necessities shown by the physical features of the region 4 glance at the map will fortify thIS position. To what, then, must Pres colt look? An active development Oi lher grea. resources; to the fact that the region about her will sustain a con siderable population, and to the wise encouragement of system of narrow gauge railroads, by which the valleys etc, of the great Colorado plateau car | be traversed.
 Col Hinton is informed that the Union Pacific company will build the railroad south from Salt Lake direct tC the Cult of California, through Ari zona and Sonora to Guaymas, and says
 Such road would pass within if teen or twenty miles to the east of i Prescott. The general direction o I such line would be southeast 10 Tue son, or near it, and then down the val ] lev of the Santa Cruz to Sonora. The ! route to Guaymas is already surveyed and I am assured by other sources ot information that Boston capital, which has always been the mainSlav of rhC 1 Union Pacific, is actively seeking the | concession from Mexico. Such road
 will materially help Prescott, but ir my judgment il must more largely tend to make Tucson a great railroad center.

What is Capital?
CAMP BOWIE, July 12, 1S7

CAMP BOWIE, July 12, 1877.
 ED. ARIZONA CITIZEN; A very live ly dispute between two soldiers of this post, regarding the correct definition of the word capital" as applied to wealth or property, has resulted in an agreement to refer the matter to you for settlement. Webster has been con- suited, and insulted also, by a refusal of one of the parties to accept that work as authority The disputed point is as follows: B claims that what he calls accumulated labor is capital; that property, merchandise, etc, is capital, and that money is only the representa- tive of that capital. On the other hand, C contends that money is the real cap ital; that property or goods are capital only because they represent or have a money value; that labor is not capital, except as it produces money or its equivalent in return. Please answer through the columns of your paper and say who is right, B or C.
 L. c.
 REMARKs.-We will not attempt any specific reply, especially as Webster has been consulted and insulted " without settlement of the point at is- sue. In general commercial language, capital means money. Expressions like these are Tn common use: There is much idle capital; or much capital un mployed or it is difficult to get capital for this or that railway, manu- featuring or other enterprise; or capi- talists do not care 10 invest their mon- ey Tn thIs or that; or capital Is abun- dant for such and such purposes, etc, all meaning money only. But in the affairs of the world, a variety of sub stances, powers and qualifications are treated as capital The lawyer and doctor have their capital or means of income in their qualifications to per form professional service, and just in proportion as they are qualified and devoted to their callings, will their in- come be large. The farmers capital is in hIs land, stock, etc.
 But it is almost useless to discuss CT even remark upon the subject For the purposes of an income, many peo- pie have much capital and little mon- ey, and many have much money and little or nothing else.

Humorous if Not Intelligent.

Humorous if Not Intelligent.
 The subjects of railways and freights 10 Arizona are just now being handled by the press of San Francisco, New York and other cites in very humor ous if not intelligent way. The edi tors write with all the ease and direct ness which Mark Twan said he could when writing about a subject of which he knew nothing Here is a sample from tue San Francisco Post of July 14:
 For many years past the Arizona i'm ports have come by railroad and wagon from the East and by water via the Gulf of California and the Gila river from this city. Both ways were slow and tedious. The steamers of the Col orado Steam Navigation Company Jeff thls city only once every twenty-ont days, and even then, though the freightS went direct to Florence and Tucson by water, etc.
 Capts. Quinlan, Jenks, Cavaness Bowley, Fields, Noriega and other no ted nayigators between Yuma and Tue son, will very likely read this with surprise, and admire the intelligence of the geographical sharp of the Post and Capts. Moore, Kerens & Mitchell Capron, and even our old friend Platt of Kansas City, all of whom now TUT or have run mail packets on the line will smile and wonder what on eartl they bought so much barley for and why they went off on the plains anC fooled away thousands of dollars tC dig wells to supply thelr steam work: with water, while their crafts were sailing right along !" by water" Furth CT along in the same article, the Pos says:
 Another obstacle is, that whenevel hauling IS required, as from Ehrenberg | to Prescott, the road is extremely rough and water and feed are of the scarcest there being one stretch Of forty-fivC miles where no water is obtainable anC ! has to be carried.
 | The editor of the Post evidently die not get sight of much water when at ol between Prescott and Ehrenberg.
 The New York Sun has recently talk en the Arizona railway and freIgh business Tn hand, and on the first daSl electrifies the country. The Centra and Southern Pacific, says the wis' Sun, now occupy all the approaches t' the Pacific Coast; they never will le freights and fares overland be reduced for however low the charges westward to their roads, enough will be charged the balance of the way to keep up pres ent figures; if Tom Scott should builC the Texas Pacific, the Pacific mOnopo ! lv would control all the same, etc. Int Sun also says that the Southern Pacific runs daily steamers loaded with freight from Yuma south to Mexican ports anC north almost to Collville! And it ha: more in the same strain winch is equal ly true and entertaining.

Tne Meetings saturday.

The Democratic meetings which are 10
assemble AT the different precincts of Full
ton and Hickman Counties Saturday, at
n. m; are to be participated in, by any
and all Democrats whe so desire, and their
will, as to the purposes for which they
are assembled, is sovereign and absolute.
The party committees, on these occasions,
remit the party authority, to the people,
its true source. Hence, we have always
argued, that the Democratic PEOPLE thus
assembled, exercising original power,
have the right to vote down a convention
if they so will. 1t would take a majority
OF the precincts representing a majority
of the party so to do, and hence, all
precincts should appoint delegates, to act,
in case a majority of the party yores ia
vorable to convention. In these meet
ings the people have the right to express
a first choice, for whom they please, and
stop, or TO add any number of choices. If
people really want their first choice, ex-
perenee teaches us that they should
never 10y resolution name second choice
Party strategists have been known tc
kill people favorite, by loading him
with second and third choices. OF course
such is not always the intention; but il
you are sincere in wanting q man to bt
your nominee, you had better stand there
The body of our democracy understand
these points. but some have asked for in
formation In our judgment there i,
nothing that confines or abridges the au-
thority and power of democrats acting in
these primary meetings except Democratic
principles
