Col. ROBERT INGERsoLL, attorney for the Star Route rascals, has published a batch of affidavits in which he charges agents of the postal department with at tempts to bribe the jury for the purpose of either securing conviction or disa- greement. The ColonePs story, like all of his pen productions, is very smooth and plausible, but we fear the incredu- lous public will be enclined to doubt its truthfulness. If the Colonel could have kept the evidence against his clients out of the public print he might have con vinced the world of their innocence by 8 newspaper defense. But as the matter stands, his efforts in that direction are "love's labor lost"

ARIZONA is now the favorite mining field at the east. Her dividends and growing bullion output have dispelled the doubts created by the islanders her rivals have industriously circulated and every train entering the Territory from the east brings new capitalists seeking investments in some one of our rich min ing districts. Along with them come men seeking homes and employment, attracted by the high wages or the numerous busi- ness opportunities. We believe we risk nothing in asserting that our bullion out put, our dividends, our property valua- ton and our population will double in side of three years.

Oury was "cheer- edto the echo, whatever that may mean. This statement must be true, else the Republican, one of Mir. Porter's staunch- est supporters, could not have been in duced to publish it. It shows the esti- nation in which Mir. Oury is held in that section and indicates that the claim that Oury's majority in Cochise county will reach five hundred, is by no means ex- travagant.

 WE see by private letter from an at- torney at Phoenix, that the citizens of that place are enclined to treat the "Reavis Grant" as g matter deserving serious consideration. The letter is ad- dressed to 8 prominent citizen here and goes on to state that the people of Phoe- nix have held a meeting to determine what action they should take in case Reavis should attempt to inforce his bo- gus claims. The writer then adds: Tt is very desirable that all parties interested should act in concert in resisting Reavis' claim, therefore it would be well for the citizens of Florence to hold a meeting and come to some conclusion as to what is best to be done in the premises" The people of Florence, so far as We have been able to learn their views, do not consider any action necessary. They very properly look upon the the Reavis claim as palpable fraud and will treat it with the silent contempt it deserves The Mexican government, which, according to Revis made this grant, never attempt ed to exercise jurisdiction in this Terri tory, north or Tucson, and laid no claim to the lands which Reavis' fraudulent grant covers. Upon coming here, the Mexican authorities found the Pima and Papago Indians living upon and tilling this land and respected the title they had acquired to 1t through centuries of undis- turbed occupation of it. And when the government of the United States super ceded the Mexican government in author ity here, it also respected the Pima and Papago title to these lands, paid them for that portion of it taken into the public domain and opened it to settlement. The settlers now in possession have acquired title to it from the United State govern ment, under the homestead, the premp- tion, the desert land act, or by patent, and the government will protect them in their right against all trumped up Msxi- can land grants.

We are quite certain that some person has misled our brother of the Florence ENTERPRISE, who accuses the present Ter ritorial Treasurer, Hon. T. J. Butler, of grave crimes in connection with the busi- ness of his office. Mir Butler is repub- llcan; he has right to be republican,
 We differ with him politically. Outside of that there is not man in the Terri tory of Arizona we would sooner entrust with our life, our honor, or bank account, all we have, than Long Tom Butler. Weedin, we know him well and, as God lives, he must, he could not be anything but Gods noblest work, an hon est man. Duly Courier.
 We did not intend that our language should admit of the construction the Courier has placed upon it. We did not charge, nor did we mean to imply, that Mir. Butler, had been guilty. of ''grave crimes in connection with the business of his office" We stated simply that his books were, and for long time had been, in chaotic state and that it would re- quire an expert to straighten them out and make them intelligible. This state ment was based on information obtained from gentleman who was a member of the committee appointed, few days prior to the close of the last session of the legislature, to examine tho Treasur- CTS books and accounts. He is thor oughly reliable man, and furthermore, he is republican and could have had no object in misrepresenting the facts. So far as the honesty of Mir. Butler is con- cernsd. we are willing to grant all that our contemporary has said of him. It is probable that he has been only negligent, but that is no reason why his books should not be examined and strengthened out so that the people may know, and he, him self may know, exactly how he stands with the Territory A large amount of money passes into his hands and it is nec- cessary for his own good, and for the good of the people, that his books should show, clearly, the amounts received from whom received and for what the money is paid out. We cannot see anything unreason- able or unjust in this demand. The fact that MT. Butler is republican had noth- ing to do with out statement. We did not know, nor did we even think of ask ing to what party he belonged We are not of those partisans who believe that a mans character is affected by his politics.

A FAIR Average.

The Oil City Derrick has heard so
many stories about narrow escapes,
thrilling incidents and strange coinci-
dences during the late war, that it begins
TO think the whole number OF truthful
anecdotes Of this kind must be pretty
near exhausted. Itwould certainly seem
as though they had all been told, and
what are now being related are for news
paper purposes; but we don't know.
There we're good many instances in the
late war where somebody came very near
having narrow escape, but missed, and
he is now fertilizing Southern soil. There
were also lots Of what would have been
strange condolences, but they did not
quite make the carom; and there were
thrilling incidents that nobody knows
anything about, for sufficient rea-
sons. No; we guess it is hardly time yet
TO stop relating new anecdotes of the
late war. Those that are now being re-
lated may be bald faced fabrications,
and we presume many of them are; but
they will serve to supply the place Of in
cidents that occurred of which no one
was left to tell the tale, and upon the
whole there will be fair average.

extending our operations from Mexico to
the North Pole without any transhir-
ment Of cars. Property in Canada would
Immediately increase 100 per cent. Our
cities and towns would be dotted with
manufactures to keep at home the pop
ulation now seeking employment across
the lines. Our farmers would receive for
their produce the duty now paid at the
frontiers on every bushel Of grain and
head Of cattle exported to the United
States, and which amounts 10 millions OF
dollars. Politically, we would remain as
we are, with our local and federal gov
ernments. Every business man under

prosperity to our people.

Exhaustion Of Soil.


Considerable fault has been found
with me for saying that profitable agri-
culture is founded upon the exhaustion
Of the soil; il exhaustion Is considered
an unsuitable term, / do not object to
change the word for reduction Of its fer
tility. The prices Of the various prod
ucts Of the farm are regulated chiefly by
the labor expended on their production,
and not upon the amount Of soil ingre-
dients which they remove from the land.
If all nations agreed to pass Q law COM
pelling the farmer to restore to the land
the whole Of the ingredients which he
removed by his crops. We should not
only see such a law followed by very
general, and large rise in the price Of
our ordinary foods, but also that the
relative cost Of the foods themselves
would be very much altered. Even
without such law we find that neces-
sity, from time to time, compels farm
ers to alter their mode Of cultivation and
cropping; thus, when they find the fer
tility of their land decreasing, they de-
vote themselves to cultivating such
products as contain more atmospheric
and fewer soil constituents. For in
stance, let us take the case Of sugar
beet. II the roots are sold off the farm,
in each 1900 pounds Of the dry roots
about 175 pounds Of soil products will
be removed from the land; while by the
conversion Of the same amount Of sugar
beet into beef or mutton only about
10 pounds Of soil products will be re-
moved; and il the beet be converted
into sugar none Of the soil product need
be lost to the land.
For further illustration, will follow
grass through the same series. II sold
as hay, or 8 per cent. Of the soil con-
stituents are removed from the land ;
very much less, il the grass is converted
into milk; still less If converted into
meat; and none at all If converted into
butter this last being purely atmos-
pheric product, all the soil constituents
may find their way back to the land, ex-
cept perhaps some small portion, which,
in the form Of skim-milk, might be used
to produce pork. 1t takes five or six
pounds of corn to produce one pound Of
increase in pig; large percentage Of
this increase is fat, and farmer who
preserves the blood and offal would ex-
haust very little Of his soil products in
producing bacon. It is the rich, fatty
cheese which commands the high price
and the low-priced skim-milk cheese
which is comparatively rich in sol
products. The same law holds good
with regard to flour; the finest -four ID
exceedingly poor, both in nitrogen and
minerals; coarser -four contains more,
and bran still larger amount Of the sol
Ingredients. As man cannot exist with
out certain amount Of these sol
products in his food, and as all hi
efforts in the production Of his food ar,
directed toward getting rid Of such sol
products, the way in which he obtain
them in separate form. becomes rathe
an interesting physiological question. :

grove, sweet the murmured conversation
between the strong young man and the
trembling patriarch, until the perfumed
dew of evening fell upon their heads.
HALLS liberty was easily obtained, and
father and son returned in safety to
Beyrout. Then the weeping chamber
was closed, and the door walled up; and
Fadlallah and Selma lived happily until
age gently did its work at their appoint
ed times; and Halil and Miriam inher-
tied the house and the wealth that had
been gathered for them.
The supernatural part Of the story re-
mains to be told. The weeping cham
Der was never again opened; but every
time that,a death was about to occur in
the family. q shower, and heavy tear
drops was heard to fall upon its marble
floor and low wailings came through the
walled doorway. Years, centuries, passed
away, and the mystery repeated itself
with unvarying uniformity. The family
foil into poverty, and only occupied o
portion Of the house, but invariably be-
tore one Of its members sickened INTO
death a shower Of heavy drops, as from
thunder cloud, pattered on the pave
ment Of the weeping chamber, and was
heard distinctly at night through the
whole house. At length the family
quilted the country in search of better
fortune elsewhere, and the house re-
manned for long time uninhabited.
The lady who narrated the story went
to live in the house and passed some
years without being disturbed but one
night she was lying awake, and distinct
ly heard the warning shower dripping
heavily in the weeping chamber. Next
day the news came OF her mothers
death, and she hastened to remove to
another dwelling. The house has since
been utterly abandoned to rats, mice,
beetles and an occasional ghost seen
sometimes streaming along the rain
pierced terraces. No one has ever at
terapted to violate the solitude Of the
sanctuary where Selma wept for the
seven little ones taken to the grave, and
for the absent one whom she had treated
with unmotherly neglect.
