ITALY AND 1UEIs.

The Italians are much exasperated over
the Tunis episode, but from present APP
pearances they will content themselves
with expressions of anger and dissatisfac-
ton. The Government evidently does not
feel itself strong enough to take bold and
independent course. Bismarck has not
given Italy any encouragement in resisting
French aggresslons, and so the poor
Italians will have to ''grin and bear"
their humiliation. But it is also clear that
the evaporation over the Tunis affair is
not confined to Italy, and that it is one of
those questions which may smolder a
long time, and then produce serious con-
sequences. England is scarcely less in
dignant at the treaty than Italy. and many
circumstances have for some time
been tending to dissipate the en-
tente cordiale which Cobden's com.
mercial treaties introduced between
the two countries. Now an alliance be.
tween Italy and England, surprising Ger
many passive and covertly friendly to
both, would be an arrangement extremely
formidable to France, and not lightly to
be encountered, and should the Tory
reaction, which Gladstone's blun1ers and
misfortunes have already produced, pro-
coed as far as such movements often do,
it is by no means improbable that the next
Government might be brought to favor
such a policy. Altogether it is clear that
France, in Selling Tunis, failed to esti-
mate with sufficient precision the probable
views Of this step to be taken by her
neighbors, and that consequently she may
find the outcome disagreeable and even
| disastrous

REMARKABLE STATE OF THINGS

The names Of Vice President Arthur and
General James are appended to the highly
impairment protest against the Robertson
nomination sent to the President, and pub.
lished as part OF Mr. Conkling's letter of
exculpation. What business these names
had on such a document is question
which we doubt the ability of Messrs.
Arthur and James to answer in a salts.
factory manner. The first is Vice Presi.
dent Of the United States The second is
Postmaster.G General and member of the
Presidents Cabinet. Here then we fnd
a member of the executive branch, and a
Cabinet officer, joining in an attack upon
the President in the sele and particular
interest of one Senator. Is it to be under
stood that Mr.. Arthur regards himself as
being Vice. President of New York; And
does General James think that his position
as a member Of the Cabinet is consistent
with open opposition to the executive
course Ii n member of the Cabinet finds
the Presidential policy obnoxious, he has
one plain and unmistakable semedy, and
that is resignation but he has no right to
remain in the Cabinet and thence to fight its
head, The conduct OF the Vice. President
is not more iustifable. His interference in
q matter of this kind cannot be excused.
1t is in fact one Of those indecencies

No medicine is needed to keep the bowels
in order as long as natures cathartic, the bile,
flows freely and regularly from its source in
the liver, and is of the right strength and
quality. But the great hillary gland is easily
disordered, and the consequences Of its ir.
regulaities are serious. To brig it back to
its natural condition when thus affected,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters should be taken
at least twice day until the desired object is
attained. Constipation is due TO a scant
supply of bile, or to lack of the stimulating
element in that fluid. In either case mere
.purgation is useless. The liver must be COM
PEELED to yield the supply of bile necessary to
remove the waste matter from the system at
least once in twenty. fouf hours, before a
radical cure of costiveness can be accom-
plished. Hostettef's BitteTs produces this
effect. It's action upon the stomach and liver
is direct and sslutsry. and through these
oTgars it regulates and invigorates the whole
frame.

Matters.
Tucson, May 18th The United States
Land Office. now at Florence, has been or
dered to be removed to Tucson. This is
owing to the fac. that three-fourths of the
United States land business of Southern
Arizona is from the districts Immediately
surrounding Tucson. 1t is believed that the
military headquarters of Arizona will be re-
moved from Fort Whipple, near Prescott, to
Fort Powell, near Tucson.
AT Florence, last Sunday night, j. H.
Floyd shot and instantly killed an old citizen
known as american Charley" Lynching
was about to take place when the Sheriff
spirited the prisoner off. The mob, learning
of the departure, followed the Sheriff and
| prisoner to Casa Grande and attempted to
secure Floyd, but the Sheriff held them at
bay until the arrival of the train, and with
the assistance of posse he got Floyd on the
| train and brought him to Tucson for safe
keeping. The killing was cold-blt oded,
without any justification.
| A company has been organized in Brad
| ford, Pa, to work the placers of Santa Rita
mountains, 80 miles south of Tucson. The
extent of these placers covers several miles,
and never could be worked successfully on
account Of the lack of water. The company
proposes to take in water from distance of
| four miles in four-:nch wroughtiron pipes,
which are now shipped. The placers are
very rich. and many thousands of dollara
are annually taken out during the rainy season
of July and August.
The Abbie Waterman mine Of Silver Bell,
at 80 feet, has developed over nine feet OF
high grade carbonate. It is looked upon at
the richest strike during the year.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE AGAIN.

The Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions appears to have Endorsed Morgan's
resolution, to the effect that no inter.
oceanic canals or railways should be con-
structed by other countries on this CONT.
nent without first obtaining the consent of
the United States. The committee ad-
vances one good consideration, namely that
certain projectors have already invited Eu-
ropean investments in such an enterprise
by stating that the consent of the United
States had been obtained for it. This,
which no doubt refers to the scheme of NJ.
Lesseps, is circumstance which demands
attention. Bat when. the committee pro-
ceeds to argue that the United States
ought to assume protectorate over the
continent in the way intimated, it becomes
necessary to take the discussion out OF
the region of distractions, and to ask de-
fnitely what power of enforcing any such
proposition the United States possesses.
1t may be quite true, as the committee
say, that this country is directly and
deeply interested in all such projects
as are referred to here, and that it has a
moral right to require that its consent to
them should he asked Bnt whenever it
is proposed to take decided position like
this, the question of most practical conse-
quence always must be, not whether the
position is morally just, but whether we
are capable of defending it n ct Grmis. For
behind all considerations of national or in
ternational comfy, lies force. No matter
what the progress of civilization, it re-.
mains the law of existence that the weak
est must go to the wall. How often and
how ruthlessly this principle is acted upon,
let the habitual policy Of every European
power, let our own habitual policy towards
the Indians, declare. Ii we are in posi-
ton to back our moral arguments with
hundred-ton guns aud fleets of ironclads,
then no doubt it will be perfectly admisai.
be for US TO insist as much as we please
upon the Monroe doctrine. Bat if we are

IL the last resort with physical arguments,
then we had better abandon that line alto
gcther For if at any time a serious
difference between the United States aud
any European power over an isthmus canal
should occur, it is very certain that it
would not be decided in our favor unless
it was perfectly clear that the power of
the United States could rot be defed with
rafetY If that power could be SO defed,
we may rest assured that 10 Congressional
resolutions would prevent il from being so
used, and thus al Or al the question re-
solves itself entirely into one of rela-
tive military and naval preparation ard
prjwts5. As We have at presen. neither
an army nor navy, and as these things do
not grow with tine rapidity of Jonah's
gourd. perhaps it would be wisest for
Congress to table these fresh assertions
OF the Monroe doctrine-at least until
they can be given some real significance

which go far to justify and confirm the
current reports about his subserviency to
Senator Conkling, and which serve to
warrant the suspicion that notwithstand-
ing the elevation conferred on him by the
whole country, he continues to regard
himself as the creature and henchman of
the New York Senator.

The stock Is rather larger than usual. Wheat
buyers are less pressing in their demands, on
account of the difficulty Of purchasing large
parcels of wheat at satisfactory rates. The
low price of wheat also restricts the demand.
Still the movement is so much larger than
usual at this season of the year that no one
feels like complaining. The wool clip is be-
ginning to go forward. and some money is re-
quired to effect settlements. In general busi-

sea by the remorseless waves.
