 JOHN WAssON, editor of the Tucson Citizen, and Surveyor General of this Territory, is one Of the best abused men in 1t. He is pronounced in his opinions; neutral in nothing; an unwaver- ing friend and an unreIenting enemy. Whatever may be said of the course taken by his jour. nal, it cannot be denied that he has conducted 1t with ability, and with unswerving fidelity to the section in which it is published. If little sympathy is expressed for him, when attacked by his opponents, it is because he seems able 10 hold his own with them. and to give as good as he gets. His record IS Surveyor General is good one. All the attacks that have been made upon him have been directed against his editorial and personal character-not one has been aimed at his official ca. reer. On this point he is invul- nerable. The books and records of the Surveyor Generals office of Arizona are models anywhere of neatness and correctness. More work has been done by that office, for the same money, than by any other on the frontier. And John Wasson Is the only Surveyor Gen. erak, iil the United States who regularly returns to the Treasury an unexpended balance of the ap- prOpriatiOn for expenses of his office. Three of the Territorial papers have been pitching into him for the last six months, but he seems able to paddle his canoe all by himself, and to need no help from the SENTINEL.

WHAT'S UP.-Senator Jones of Nevada once made a famous speech in defence of hard money, which he compared to the spade of the husbandman." while greenbacks he spoke of as the "toolS of the gambler" That speech put him at the head of the Monetary Commission. Now he appears to advocate that Gov ernment notes shall be consid- cred the standard of values, anG the metals treated as commodi. ties. Then he was a large pro. ducer of gold and silver. Now perhaps he has sold out of the COmstock. Looks like a case of "your OK and my bull."

really has been something absurd in this
business. First, ships were built to be i'm
prcgnable, and then guns were constructed
TO shoot through their armor. More armor
was put on the ships, and then the guns were
made bigger. The vessels Of one year were
obsolete the next, and so the contest went
on, greatly TO the profit of the engineers and
mechanics but seriously to the cost Of the
people.
Now, when all this money has been spent,
new instrument appears which promises
to ncutralizc the expensive ships and guns.
For however thickly you may cont your
vessel with iron above the water line, you
cannot protect its hull below the water
limo with armor, and the torpedo strikes the
bottom.
OF torpedocs there nrc two kinds, the fixed
and the movable. The fixed are canistcrs OF
explosives planted in the channel, and are
fired either 10y electricity from the shore, or
10y the contact of the ship with them. The
movable are sent after the vessel, and cx-
plode against It's sides below the water line.
II they fairly hit the craft, its doom is sealed.
OF these movable torpcdocs the most note
worthy are those of WHITEHEAD. LAY, and
ERICSSON. Russia has purchased n large
number of the machines Of the first inventor,
but so far we do not hear Of any use Of them
against the Turkish navy, though two young
Russian engineers succeeded in sinking an
Ottoman monitor with the ordinary torpedo
The WHITEHEAD, or fish torpedo, has been
much talked about in naval circles but ii
does not yet seem to have accomplished any
thing deserving Of the praises bestowed on
it 10y its English admirers. II IL an expen-
sivc machine and We doubt if it will ever
prove Of practical use. The movable tor
pcdoes Of our countrymcn, LAY and ERIcs-
son, are its supcriors, and that q Capt
Ericsson especially is II triumph Of invcn-
tOn, and we are not surprised that the
inventor. SO successful in other fields, re-
CARDS it with satisfaction. IL is cheaply
constructed, has amply demonstrated its
efficiency, and its progress underneath the
water in the pursuit of its adversary Is quite
marvellous Yet movable torpedOcs are
still In their experimental stage and II is
not safe to prophcsy success for any par
ticular one Of them. Mr.. LAYS machine
has proved its ability to run with great
speed, and with desirable certainty, and is
n credit to its accomplished inventor.
We shall watch with interest the effect Of
torpedocs ON the naval operations OF the
present European war.

The Pope's Jubilee.
Pope PRS ~ celebrates to-day the nfticth
anniversary Of his elevation to the cpi-co-
pacy; having boon nominated Archbishop of
spolcto by Pope LEO MI. in 1897. The occa-
sion will doubtless be made one of unusual
ecclesiastical display. Crowds Of pilgrims
have been Hooking to Rome for months past
to congratulate his Holiness. and they have
carried with them. besides an abundance Of
costly gifts. an enthusiasm which seems TO
know no bounds. The ancient city will
probably contain within its walls to-day a
multitude such as 1t has not seen for many
n year, and. although the Pontin has lost
his temporal power, he can stili proudly
say that his dominion over the hearts Of the
members Of his Church has suffered no en-
fccblcmcut.
Everything has contributed to make

During his papacy he has witnessed events
which will always be landmarks in the his
tory both Of the Church and of the world.
The PRONUNCIATION Of the doctrine of the I'M
maculate Conception in 1854. the holding Of
the Vatican Council in 1S6g, and the aboli-
tion by the Italian Government of the tenn
poral sovereignty in $50, belong to the
one class; while in the other may hc rcck-
oned the revolutionary parOxysms OF lSiS,
the establishment of the French empire and
its overthrow, the Crmcan war, the Aus
trian-French war, that between Germany
and Austria. and again, that between Ger

area. somewhat larger category yet still
nconsdcrabe in point Of numbers to wit,
the 10000 landowners who possess one thou
sand acres or more, Is actually master Of
nfty-two million acres or more than two
thirds Of the entire arabic surface OF the
United Kingdom. 1t appears that the re-
manning third Is shared between 100000
small proprictors, whose average holding
does not exceed seventeen acres.
These figures undoubtedly confirm the pre-
vailing impression regarding the absorption
Of British soil by great landowners, but n
scrutiny of this report in more detail re-
vcas n fact for which we were less prepared,
namely, that this monopoly is far less de-
cisivc i'm England than in Scotland and Ire
land. Thus, in Scotland, there are twenty
four proprctors, and three in Ireland, each
Of whom possesses ono hundred thousand
acres or upward whereas In England there
is only one man who controls SO wide an
area. Again, the aggregate territory be-
longing to the twelve largest English land
owners Is computed at about one million
acres; the property of the twelve foremost
Irish landowners reaches nearly a million
and third; while twelve real estate mag
Mates in Scotland have among them not less
than four and third millions of acres, or
about onc-quartcr of the whole area Of that
Kingdom. There Is one Scottish landowner
who controls one and third million acres
or more than the sum Of the estates belong
ing To the twelve greatest proprictors in
England OF in Ireland, and we may add that
the same man possesses Il considerable prop
orty-some thirty thousand acrcs-south of
thchordcr.
TO point in another way the contrast be-
tween the several divisions of the United
kmgdom,wc may state that England has one
landed proprietor for every twenty nhab-
itant-. Scotland one for every twont give
and Ireland one in sevcnty-ninc inhabitants.
In England too. the mean area of each
holding Is only 33 acres. in Scotland it is li3
and in Ireland not less than 2o3 acres. 1t is
to bc noted, likewise, that while the whole
English soil is divided among nearly n mil
lion owners, the number Of frecholdors in
Scotland * but l32.OO0 and in Ireland not
more than 5000 IT, finally, we leave out Of
view those who possess less than an acre,
and take into account only such as have one
acre or more. we observe that England has
one proprietor in ~ inhabitants. Scotland
one in l76. and Ireland one in 1876. OF the
1.l7j,OVO landowners in the three kingdoms.
it seems that $4,000 command less than u
single acre. while the remainder belongs 10 n
more fortunate class.
When we turn to the relative values Of
land in the several parts of the United King
dom. we find the difference singularly favor
