THE HORSE POWER OF THE WORLD

THE HORSE POWEh OF IhE WOhLD
1t has been estimated that, in 1878,
on the 100000 miles of railroad, there
were at work los, 900 locomotives, Of an
aggregate 10000, 900 horse power, while
the total number of engines amounted to
46, 600, 900 horse power. Taking the
nominal horse power at an effective force
equal to that of three horses, and the
work of horse as equal to that of seven
men, it will he seen that the steam en-
gines represent the force of nearly
1000, 900, 900 men, which is more than
double the amount Of workers on the
face of the globe. The steam engine,
which is fed by coal, has, therefore.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
GGrlleld'5 Speech oI the Anniversary of the As.as ,iHaiion of tine Martyr President.

On Saturday,Apl II, 1StG, in the House of Represent. lives, Mir. Garfield moved that the House adjourn, 1t being the first anniversary of the death of Abraham Lincoln. Mr Garfield said:
 This day, Mr. Speaker, will be sadly memorable, so long as this Nation shall endure, which God grant may be till the Hast syllable Of recorded time, when the volume of human history is sealed up and delivered io the Omuipotent Judge.
 h. all future time, on the recurrence of this day, doubt not that the citizens of this Republic will meet in solemn as- sem1ly to reflect on the life aud chdrac- ter of Abraham Lincoln, and the awful, tragic event of April II, lSij-an event unparalleled in the history of nations, certainly unparalleled in our own. IL is eminently proper that this House should this day place upon its records a memo rial of that event.
 The last five years have been marked by wonderful developments of indiyidu- al character. Thousands of people, be- fore unknown to fame, have taken their place in history, crowned with immortal honOrs. In thousands of humble homes are dwelling heroes and patriots, whose names shall never die.
 But greater among all these great de- velopments were the character and fame of Abraham Lincoln, whose loss the na- tiOn still deDlOres. His character is apt ly described in the words of England's great Laureate-written thirty years ago in which he traces the upward steps of some

Iasf of ihr Renecndrs.

The valiant Captain Jeifords, whose great influence with the wild and mur- derous Apaches led to his selection by the military authorities as a valuable coadiutor in subduing the -hostiles, has at last been heard from, and bright lau- rels arc cut and dried awaiting She proper moment to descend maiestically upon his brow. Mir. H. Horton who ar rived in Tucson yesterday from the front reports the final episode in the h. dian campaign as having occurred at Camp Thomas while he was there. He saw at a distance a huge column of dust slowly approaching camp, and awaited with curiosity its arrival tO learn the cause. Slowly 1t came, like a huge cloud, and at last reached its destiua- tion and halted at the station, when 1t was discovered that Captain JeffOrds had returned with the last of the rene gades. He had discovered them in the mountains, heroically surprised their camp, and surrounded them ere they were aware of his solitary presence. Nothing but unconditional surrender would satisfy the valiant Captain, and negotiations to that end were finally closed, and the renegades marched of to Camp Thomas, where a careful inspec- tion revealed the fact that be had ably succeeded in bringing III eleven old squaws, not one of whom were less than fifty years of age, and an old, decrepid buck.

THE STREET lzsRovEMzl,7 QUESTION.

It IS but short time now before our
 citizens will have the privilege of deciding
 whether they will make an effort to i'm prove the city and make it more healthy and inviting to residents and strangers. We hope that shey will exercise wise foresight and act for the future. In a few weeks, from all directions, capital ists and others, Trho have been kept back by the heat, the Hoods and the h. dian scare, will be coming acre. some to spend brief time looking over the mines, others t5 spend She winter in this delightful climate, and sill others to take mp their permanent abode here. If they see the people here contented to live on year after year with things as they now are, the city will lose much more than the proposed improvements will cost, for matters as they are cannot fail to produce an unfavorable impress sion. If, howeyer,ta people commence to improve and exhibit in public works their confdence in the stability of the city, it will attract capital here and en- courage strangers to settle here There IS nothing extraTagant proposed. It is simply dOing whaL ought to have been done some tine 7. i7 the three cen turies ot TUcson's historic and tradition al existence. The financial condition and future prospects Of the city warrant the outlay of a much larger sum than S20,0OO in street improvements, and it would enhance the value of property in all portions of the city many times that amount.

THE manner in which the Mrs. Garfield fund IS piling up indicates that at least this time the Republic is not ungratetul. At the latest account the fund had reached s317,0O0. This, with the S25,- 900 the estate is supposed to be worth, and the 1000 shares of Silver King stock and other stocks in mines which Gar field was known to have, the family of our deceased President will be placed above the possibility of want. Such ex- hibitions of regard for a man who has served his country faithfully for years to his own financial disadvantage, will stimulate others and will place pre- mum upon official honesty. In a money point of view the honest discharge of official duties offers no inducement, and many of our greatest and purest states men have died poor and have almost been buried by charity. All honor to the men who are coming forward and ex- press with their money their regard for the dead President and love for his family.

THE CABINET.

X great many speculations are being indulged in as to the course the Presi- dent will pursue in relation to the Csbi- net We regard them as mere conjec- lures and wholly unreliable. We do not believe the President has made any one his confidant, even if he has come to any determination himself.
 There will undoubtedly be some changes made when Congress convenes in December; none will probably take place before that time. It is perfectly natural that be should make some changes. and if he selects good, upright and able men the country will not be likely to criticise him any more severely than it did the late President when he made his appointments.
 It is the universal practice for the press and the politicians of the country to volunteer their assistance in forming the Cabinet, and when the Cabinet IS finally chosen they occupy few weeks informing their readers why the appoint ments should not have been made.
 President Arthur will in this matter have the same experience that his pre- decessors have had.

 THE dispatches received from the East indicate that Senator Blaine IS go- ing to bring the Cabinet question with the new administration to an immediate issue. 4 Washington special says: The fact that Blaine will go direct home to Maine from Cleveland furnishes ground for suspicion that he will not return to Washington until the President an- nounces his intentions in regard to the Cabinet. A Cleveland, Ohio, special says there has been good deal of excite ment among the politicians here to-day over the remark made by Mrs. Blaine last night, that her husband would not stay in the Cabinet but few days longer. He was prepared to leave now rather than wait few months and be turned out. The most prominent Senators here say that the next ten days will see at least two or three vacant Cabinet posi- tions. If there is any foundation for these reports some serious complications are likely to arise. It is to be hoped that nothing will occur to create any widening of the breach between the Re publican factions. These differences ought to be buried in the tomb of the msrtyred President.

IT was given as one Of the reasons for the recent railroad accident at Benson that the freight engineers were com pelled to make such long runs between this point and Deminc, being out thirty and forty hours at stretch. It should be said that the railroad is putting forth every effort to arrange matters so as to shorten runs They were constructing a roundhouse for engines at Bowie sta ton, when the flood put stop to work, and they had to bend every energy to repair the road so SIS to keep it open to travel, employing all the men they could get and expendine an immense amount Of money. We understand this new roundhouse would have been completed ere this, had 1t been possible for the rail- road company to obtain thc requisite hands But it will be pushed as rapidly as possible, and when completed the runs will be shortened so that each en- gineer, except in some unusual emer- gency. will be able to obtain all the nec- essary rest The company Is now en- ploying all the men they can get in their work along the line, using more Mexi- cans and paying them better wages than they have ever had before.
