A remarkable statement was made last Saturday by James Reilly, district attorney, while ar guing motion before the district judge at chambers. An affidavit of the county treasurer was pro- duced, of which Reilly said that, were it an affidavit good in law, it would expose the treasurer to prosecution for perjury. We hap pen to know that the statements made by the treasurer were strict ly and literally true. It is not in good taste to make wild charges of dishonesty and falsehood against good citizens. Americans don't do that.

Earnings bill, before Congress, for recognizing the army, is a genuine republican measure. 1t makes the army a school for sol diers, from whom promotions are to be made on merit. It tends to wipe out the claims, for agreeable or lucrative positions, of political service or blood relationship. It tends to make the West Pointer realize that his blood is no more "blue" than that of other citizens. Our army has been too deeply inn bued with the military ideas of monarchical Europe. Over there it may work very we'll to make officers only of Jukes and KeOunts; but Americans like to look upon all their officers as citizens. Eve rything that tends to build up a clasS-aristOcratic and exclusive must be baniShed from our public service. Earnings bill also se- cures great financial reforms in the army. Under these circum- stances it may be safe to give the army the care of Indians. We hope the bill will pass.

Oil Upon the Waters.

The Democrats of Yavapai want tohe represented In convention by delegates corresponding in num- Der with their legislative repre- sentatives. Yavapai wants to ex- ercise in the councils of the party, influence in proportion to her pop. ulation. Pima Democrats want to go into the convention with the same number of delegates and on the same footing as those of Yav- apai. In advocating this desire the Tucson Star pledges the De- mocracy of Pima to make no nomi- nations for delegate to Congress. It sounds cool for an editor to "give away" his county and pledge it In this manner. Blt party con- ventions are usually packed and stocked, weeks before they are called, and the mass of delegates is simply gathered together torat- fly what the wire-pullers have previously determined on. The Star editor may be in the confi- dence of the local chieftains and thus know how they propose to dispose of their followers. In that case he is safe in "pledging." In spite of pacific words the Pima Democrats undoubtedly want to put up man from Maricopa who will try to snatch the capital to Phoenix from Prescott. Failing that, they will both have to con- | bine on man from Pinal. Some 1 Of the Iavapai Democrats are cry ing out against "fossils." We all know what that means.

Huntington talks about the inn mense number of railroad ties his company has command of. That's so. They are planting thousands of eucalyptus trees at Pasad ena They are only seedlings now, but in time each tree will make 20 ties-but to be safe, let's call it only ten. Then multiply the num- Der of trees by 10, and there you haveit! More ties than they want. Figures don't lie, whether made on raising chickens or ties.

 2d. Short time required for erection, viz: 14 days after providing all material, with sufficiency of labor.
 3d. No expensive, heavy or complicated machinery being necessary, involving heavy freight to the district where it may be required. Brick and clay, generally ob- tainable on the spot, being the chief mate rial required in its construction.
 4th. No skilled labor or technical exps- rience is necessary to work it, two ordinary laborers being sufficient to attend to l. when in full operation.
 5th. It does not easily get out of ordery and is readily repaired by an ordinary mason or blacksmith when it does.

What is Beauty

This question has alike puzzled the lover

the lover, looking into the homely face of

the physicians knows that the chief ele-
Iment OF beauty is health. Health is to
beauty what the subtle magnetic current
is to the bar of polished steel-by its pres

The most prolific year was the first of
the series, for the acreage of wheat in 1879
was much less than that of 1874 or 1870
Last year was failure; but not in the
sense of that of the starvation year of 1854.
when the total receipts of wheat at this
port were but little over half a mil
lion centals, though the receipts of the
preceding year 1869 we're nearly 2 O0O.-
600 centals, and 2.202, 900 centals in 1865,
The prospects at this time is that the
present year will be by a million of centals
the most productive of wheat and other
cereals every yet experienced by the far
mers of California. The acreage in wheat
is probably IS to 40 per cent, greater than
was planted in 1872, when our exports
were, 1889, l40 bushels, leaving home
supply of not less than 8,5OO,OO0 bushels
for seed and bread. 1t is also probably
that tho yield per acre this year will av
eraRe about that of 1872. If these prom
ises hold good land all reports from every
wheat growing county encourage believe in

will not fall much short of $1,000, 900 to
