Pima County.

This County is making constant pro. gress. Its horses. cattle, sheep and hogs are, as we fully beheve, more Bumerous and of better breeds now than one year ago, If il has not grown more farm products, il is be cause of lack of rain More acres of ground are titled each year and ol course more hands labor 10 do il. We think we are safe in saying, twice as many miners are at work in the mine, as there were one year ago, and that the prospects are much improved. Times are called hard, but We all know of several accldental or unusual reasons therefor; and vet we know of no suffering among the people or do mestic animals. Judged from private reports from the various counties of Arizona, the people of Pima are surely in comfortable circumstances and com
 paratiyely prosperous, and judged by tEe income of THE CITIZEN, the people of Pima are more prosperous this year than last No business failures of much consequence have occurred. Many who feel pressed now will be much easier a month hence. We regard our Tue son property worth more to-day than
 at any time heretofore The people. with the exception Of the worthy sick
 and unworthy improvideut. are living more comfortably 'han one year agn

THE Southern Pacific engineers tell us they have no fears f easily obtain ing an abundant supply of water be- tween Maricopa Wells and Tucson, although none appears on the route now. They are confident wells Of moderate depth will find plenty ot water As most of rhe route lies over of grass in thiS dry season, the water question is an important one, and one worthy the attention of stock growers. The bed of the Santa Cruz IS not far distant from any part of the line of the road, and the land, if II could be irrigated, would undoubtedly pruiuce all kinds of crops; but it must ever be. owing to the scarcity of water, unless the seasons materially change, mainly valuable for stock. There is great extent of fine grass country to the west and southwest of Tucson, upon which parties having the means and disposed 70 stock raising, could well afford "a sink for arteslan water, and now lhat there is certainty of a railway soon, the section re- fefred 10 is one of great prospective value.

Characterization of Silver. &c.

The Monetary Commission reported, through Senator Jones, chairman, 10 Congress last week, afer nearly four teen months investigation. The com mitlee came to conclusions that may be summarized as follows: The causes of the recent changes n relative value of gold and silver are mainly the de- monejization ot silver by Germany, the United SiaIes and the Scandinavian S.a-eS. and the closure of all lhe hints in Europe against is coinage, aided by a contemporanenus diminution of the Asiatic demand for silver and by lhe enormous exaEgeraliOn of the ac- nal and prospective yield of the Neva- da silver mines. The commission re- commend the restoration of lhe double standard and the unrestricted coinage of both metals. but are unable to agree upon the legal relation which should be established between them. The commission does not suppose that it is possible to mailtain paper in actual circulation with com, unless paper is made equal in market value to coin by actual convcrtibility into it.
 Upon the subject of resumption of specie payments. he commission ar- r,ved only al the simple conclusion that specie payments are impossible as long as the laws making gnld the sole standard, are unrrpealgd That a dou- ble standard is adequate ta sustain ex- isting prices is made doubtful at least by the flct that su many countries have abandoned coin payments and resorted to paper Finally. the fact that Ger many and the Scandinavian States have gold as a single standard. and that some other European countries may adopt it, instead of being reasons for perseverance in the attempt tn es- tabish it in the United States, are pre- cisely facts which can make such an attempt entirely impracticable and ruinous
