The scandals of election broils in Baltimore
have had the curious effect of drawing from
the Democratic Convention of Maryland a
demand for a registration law. Unless we are
mistaken, this is the first time any such rep
resentatiye body of Democrats has taken
position in favor of a registration law. To be
sure. it is the plea of Democrats for prOtec-
ton against Democratic frauds, but that is
all the Republicans have ever asked.
The official announcement that the German
Government has relaxed its opposition to a
silver currency so far as TO be willing to dis
cuss with the United States a proposition for
international agreement upon the bi-metallic
standard, is very important. This action on the
part of the Government whose consent has
been most necessary to the success of the pro-
posed international discussion doubtless means
that the conference is assured. and is graft

The letter of our staff correspondent in the
Black Hills, which Is given on another page,
tells the history of the gold discoveries, and
describes the wonderful rapdity with which
the country has been settled, and has already,
as il might be said, grown old. In the de-
velopment OF the mines, the cultivation of
land the building of roads, and the general
DrogresS of civilization, as much has been done

in ten. Evidently the Black Hills have passed,
in a measure, out of the category of the wild
mining countries.

MINING OUTLOOK.

Gradually, satisfactorily and truly, Ari- zona inning matters are coming to the front, attracting attention from operators iu minerals. All the Eastern cities are represented in different sections of the ter ritery, and as a general thing investments in Arizona mines have given the investors satisfaction, as but little wildcat stock has been put forth for bait in large cities to catch the unsuspecting capitalist. Nearly every section of Arizona is now awakened to the necessity of opening .up the mineral resources, and tho sound of hammer and pick are familiar greetings to the ear of prospectors and frontiersmen.'
 Quartz mills in the hands of experienced mechanics, are doing the good work. Ari- zona, from state of chaos of only few years back, has come to the front with the stride of the iron horse, and now stands third on the list of producing territories, with indications pointing to her soon com mandipg, at least, the right to be clustered next to Nevada.
 Geologists and mineralogists, who have had occasion to examine the various for nations in the numerous mining districts, from north to south in Arizona, agree con- clusively, and do not hesitate to pronounce our mineral deposits as true Assure veins and as lasting as those of any portion of the globe. United action an the part of our people is something 10 be desired in the successfully developing not only of our min eral resources, but every other industry. A divided house cannot we'll stand, and thus it Is with every enterprise small or great. Coop eration is essential to make us a successful people. Gradually the iron thoroughfares are advancing on us from the Orient and 0ccident, and soon this rich land of miner als will be chained to civilization with an iron band, and we will be no lenger a new, undeveloped district in the basin of the Rocky mountains, but come out a strong arm of the Government, and our bullion will de much toward paying the National debt.

Uufavorable Reports Concerning the Sierra
 Mojada Mines.

Recent advices from Mexico give the fol- lowing in regard to the "New Mexican Fl Dcrado:"
 The fever of excitement in the City of Mexico concerning the mines has complete ly died out. The return of several respon- sible parties frem visit to the mines and their reports of the condition of things gen. erally, las destroyed all faith in the matter. An American named Major John Willett is alleged to be at the bottom of the meve- ment, and the furore on the Rio Grande and in Texas is said 10 be owing to his re- ports of the fabulous richness of the mines. The Indians north of the mining district arc committing depredatiens, aud q train of prospectors from Texas was recently at lacked and upwards of fifty miners killed. There is no protection whatever on the western side of the Rio Grande, the Mexi- can army being perfectly incapable of put ting a stop to the Indian ravages. The miners were compelled to organize for self protection. An American who has recently arrived at the Sierra Mojada writes friend:
 ''There are plenty of mInes, some of them worthless, others with very little silver in them, and a few that will pay moderately when there are facilities for working them. Up to the present date, October 3lst) no company has been formed. Every one is prospecting and locating mines on his own account, and that, too, with very little se curity for his life. The country around here is complete desert; there is but little water, and what there is of it is brsckish there is hardly enough of it for the use of the people here. There is no wood of any kind, except it be the mcsquit, which is d. most worthless for purposes of fuel. There are but comparatively few Americans here. There arc, of course, some few arrivals weekly from Texas. The majority of the people who are here are those who have lived in this district for years. In fact, many more are going away than coming"

The Rain Tree.

Some travellers in Colombia, South Amer ica, in traversing an arid aud desola,e tract of country, were struck with a strange con- trast. On one side there was . barren des- ert, on the other rich ana luxuriant sege- tatiop. The French Consul at Lorei }, Mexico, says that this remarkable contrast is due to the presence of the "Tamai caspi or the rain tree. This tree, which grows to night of sixty feet, with a diameter of three feet at its base, possesses the power of strongly attracting, absorbing and con- densiBg the humidity of the atmosphere. Water is always to be seen dripping from it's trunk in such quantity as to convert the surrounding soll into a seritable marsh It is in summer especially, when the rivers are nearly dried up, that the tree is most active. If this admirable quality of the rain tree was utilized in the arid regions near the equator, the people there living in misery on account of the unproduchve soil would derive great advantages from its intro duction, as we'll as the people of more ia yorcd countries where tue climate is dry and droughts are frequent.
