The Mexieao FilIbastering Scheme

The New York Herald is working this subject for all it is worth. It has tried to work up a rebellion in Utah and is jealous in giving the details of a movement on Sonora and other Mex ican States. It names the leaders of ii, and among them gives Col. Charles D. Poston conspicuous place The Colonel left Tucson this week to quail fy and enter upon he unwarlike duties of Register of the United States Land Office at Florence. As he would per. haps like 10 see what part The Herald assigns to him in the performance, we here give what it says regarding him in that connection:
 Another leading man in the scheme Is Charles D. POston, who, though q native or the Quaker city of Philadel- phIa, is believed to have been born with all the elements of 2 successful nlibus- ter in him POstpn has been for many years on the Mexican frontier, in Ari- zUna, and besides owning large inter ests in mines in that Territory, owns q large ranch we'll stocked with herds and flOcks just over the line Tn Sonora Posion will be in command of the col umn which will march from Yuma and cooperate with the troops which will go by sea to Guaymas. It is thought that these two columns will occupy Sonora almost without firing a gun, as the inhabitants are known 10 be more in favor ot Lcrdo than of DIaz.
 The Herald says another of the lead CTS of the expedition is said to be Gen eral Armstrong, 8 cavalry general un- der Forrest in the rebel army. Gener- al Armstrong was one of the West Point officers of the old regular army who cast his fortunes with the Confectionery. He lives in Texas, but happens to be residing in Washington temporarily. He denies having anything to do with the movement but thinks there is some thing in It. and on being asked the object, replied;
 To AmericaniZe and settle Sonora and that part of Mexico. The men will gn as miners and emigrants. The United States can hardly interfere with them if they go in that way. They can rendezvous on the Sonora border and march on Guaymas. The cars are running now from San Francisco to Fort Yuma, so that lhe men could concentrate rapidly and before they could be intertered with by the United States. The trouble is now that the MeXicans have been warned and will oppose their crossing from Arizona.

Los Angeles and her Railways.

This pleasant and thriving city has not always sympaihized with San Die go in her struggles for railway, and now the latter place can and probably does quietly enjoy the squirmings al ready begun in the former, not be- cause of too much railroad but be- cause of too much in one company. According to report, the Southern Pa cific has purchased the road to Santa Monica, thereby giving it entire con trol of all approaches to the city save by wagon road. The Los Angeles peo- pie, or some of them, seem 10 have made the wonderful discovery that the Southern Pacific is not a purely phi lanthropic company. They are even intimating that some kinds of freight are being carried from San Francisco to Yuma at the same rates charged from Los Angeles, and this fact creates suspicion that the Arizona trade will not benefit the angelic city very much They may draw a little consolation from the fact that unless lower freigh: rates are made from the west, the bulk of the Arizona trade will not even be done in San Francisco. But the peo- pie ot Los Angeles and Arizona have a positive right to complain of the diff ference (about $10) between the price of tirstclass limited and unlimited tickets from Yuma to San Francisco. This difference will prevent thousands of people during year from making a business or pleasure inspection of Los Angeles. The limited and unlim- ited tickets are first-claSs, but on the former the passenger must go directly forward on the same day and train. and on the latter, may stop oyer wher- ever desirable. IL may be said that Los Angeles has no more right to com plain than other places on the line, but twenty passengers and business men care to stop oyer there to one at any other on the route. It is to be hoped that this discrimination will be abolished.

OwISG to continued Indian hostili- ties, the citizens south of here are cir culating petitions asking Agent Clum to endeavor to open communication with the hostile Indians, coax them on to the reservation and make peace with them. So far all efforts to stop ho,iili
 ties by force have failed, and these ex- posed settlers now favor peaceful means as stated. Wm. Morgan and Thomas Hughes, both of the SonOila, left here on Thursday with petitions, the former going by Criltenden and Placers, and the latter via the Santa Cruz and SO- noila valleys. They confidently expect everybody out that way to sign their petitions. We also hear of a petition circulating in Tucson, asking General KauIz to do something ln the premises.

IN the rich valley of Napa in Cali fornia, many able bodied men are work ing on farms for their mere board, and many others according to report would be glad of the opportunity. Excellent farm hands are working for $l0 to Sl3 per month. Ii seems to be a matter of fact that very hard times prevail in the Golden State. A sad case of starvation is reported ss having occurred in San Jose and another in Oakland-in both instances, according to the California papers. the unforiunates made every effort they could to ge labor and failed. People in Arizona should be contenied, for with due effort all can get some thing to do by which food and cloth ing may be obtained, if not much gaore

AN extraordinary course is being pur- sued by moneyed men of the Eastern cities According tn reports, they have agents in the Western States seeking opportunities to lend money on real estate, including far'ls. We have ncv- CT before heard uf such efforts to lend money. At the close of the second week in May, the New York city banks had a reserve of $14339, 200, or an eX- cess over legal requirements of Sl7,- 532 900. This is a large sum to remain idle, and the effort to lend il in the country, indicates no demand for It in the great trade and manufacturing cit ies

MR. Nj. LATE of Magdalena, is in town on business for Joseph Pierson. He says the people in Sonora, so tar as he can learn, are ignorant of any fil- Clustering scheme looking tO the cap ture of Mexican territory or the rein statement of Lerdo as President. He is convinced that the Mexican people look upon any such movement with extreme disfavOr. No matter what they may think of Lerdo's rights, as President, they do not want him rein stated by foreign aid, nor do they want improved government except it be brought about by their own efforts. The agitation now prevailing on the subject in New York and San Francis co and in fact throughout the country, he regards as very detrimental to the best interests of Americans in Mexico and of no possible benefit to Mexico, and he thinks the movement, if at tempted in earnest, will result as it ought to do, in disaster to those who lead or personally engage in its ex- ecution.

How co Deal yy.th ,,ramp,.

The tramp, nuisance which few years
ago was almost as unknown in this coun-
try as the p otato bug, has again appeared,
and like the bug, chooses the most fertile
regions for his ravages. Quite q mum ber
of outrages and depfedations have been
reported, and it is certain that unless
strong repressive measures are at once
taken the disgraceful scenes of the past
two or three years will be repeated in our
rural districts this summer. An indica-
tion of what may be expected is found
in the assaults on farm houses, the in
suits to unprotected women, and in the
murder of a child recently in Pennsyl-
vania. When the tramp first APPEARED
be was not understood, and was supposed
to be deserving object of charityA-a
poor man unable TO find work in the

Tramping became as fashionable with
this insolent class as pedestrian tours are
with Young gentlemen. The lazzaroni
of the city, who live by theft and aims
lduIing the winter, find it profitable to
their pockets and conductive to their
health to practise the same arts in the
country during the summer. They are
organized now and have made tramping
one of the fixed sciences. When it has
reached this stage we know how to deal
with it, for the evil has developed into a
tannibl, form. 1t is no longer to be dealt
