A NEW STEAMER.
The Now Propeller to Ply Between san Fran
 cisco and GuaymAs
San Diego Union,

The new steamer Mexico" came into port Sunday afternoon and anchored of the Pacific Coast Steamship Companys wharf, since which time he has been visited and admired by a number of ladies and gentlemen of this city. The vessel, it appears was partially disabled by the breakage of some of her ma chinery, and put into this port for re- pairs. The injury Is not serious, and the repairs, which are being made at the railroad shop at National City, will be completed this morning, and she will proceed on her way to Guaymas, her point of destination. The Mexico had an additional attraction to our people, because the name of one of our most respected citizens, Captain A. H. Wilcox, IS associated with her as one of her builders, while his partner, Mir. B. M. Hartshorne, IS pleasantly remembered by many of our citIzens. The vessel, under command of Captain Huntington, is a propeller, 2S9 feet long, and has a registered tonnage 100 tons. Through the courtesy of Captain Huntington, in company with a number of gentlemen, the reporter of this paper made a nasty inspection of the ship, and Hound her very complete in all of her arrangements. Next to the State of California, the Mexico is said to be the fastest vessel on the coast. She will make the round trip between San Francisco and Quay mas in twenty days, and could shorten the run to eighteen days. Mir. John Birmingham, Superintendent of the steamship line at San Francisco, and his wife, are accompanying tho Mexico on her trial trip. There are also quite a number of passengers aboard, all whom seem to be quite at home, and not c bit restive under the delay. As soon as the Sonora Railroad Is completed to a con nection with Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe at Calabasas, Southern Ari- zona, which will be sometime this year, this route-par steamer and part rail will no doubt become quite popular with the travelling public, and be largely used for freighting for Northern Mexico and Southern Arizona.

 papers that the Chinese iu wh re-

 -cEai@. .meas$ That statement, how ever, cannot be substantiated by the records. Various questions entered into the action of the Senators relative to that bill, chief among which was the period of the exclusion Of the Chinese immigrants. Upon this question the San Francisco Chronicle says that among the Republicans who voted no are Eimunds and Ingalls,, who both spoke for 1t and would both have voted 50 had the time Of exclusion been fixed at ten, instead Of twenty years. There are many Republicans among the noes who would probably have voted ives had this amendment been adopted. Thirty-tlree Senators refused to vote. or these fifteen are Democrats and eighteen Republicans; nearly as many of the one as the other. The most tell ing speeches in favor of the bill were made by Miller and Edmunds, both Republicans. The most effective speeches against it were made by Hoar, tR) and Brown CD) In fine, to quote from Beck D) Both parties supported it because 1t was right" while the best men of both parties opposed q similar bill two years ago because it proposed to set aside a treaty" So far as the pol itical press is concerned the Democrats can claim no advantage; nothing like an exclusive support of tbe bill Among the least respectful opponents are the New York World, Philadelphia Times, New York Sun, Cincinnati En- quirer, all Democratic, and the New York Herald. with strong Democratic leanings"

The Sunny Side of Deat!:.

Take the sunny side of death: Sooner or later 1t must come to all, and at the latest 1t is only Q few swiftly passing days distant Kings and potentates have no refuge from the summons of the dread messenger. Earth is the great leveler of man, and dust to dust is the heritage of all. Why, then, should We shrink from its contemplation? Why banish it from our thoughts with a shudder? It is not rational to permit death to shadow our lives; nor is 1t rational to turn in ter TOT from what must as surely come as tO-morrow's sun. Those who are sud denly chilled day after day by the thoughts of death, either shadow their lives by mlsdaeds or reject the philoso- phy that should make every well-Ordered life wait serenely for its end. The Ia tional apprehension of the upright man is, not that be may fall too soon in the race, but that he may finger too long and outlive everything but hope.

THE rapid strides the city of Tucson
 has taken in the past two years of pro gress has quite surpassed the educa- tional facilities that were deemed fully adequate to the demands previous to the advent of the railroad. 1t is now found that the public school bull ling is not only too small to sccomodate the constantly augmenting numbers of pupils, but it lacks sanitary and other essentials to an institution of it's size and character. The school fund Is now nearly large enough to erect a suitable structure upon site already in posses sion of the trustees, and the initiatory steps towards its construction should be taken at once. Not only do handsome school building add much to the appear ance of a town, but as evidences of pro per educational facilities they induce people to bring their families here to reside. The necessity of a new school building is obvious to every thinking man, and 1t is hoped that our school board will keep abreast the times and make our city as famous for educational facilities as it is becoming in many other respects.

TAR FLAT still maintains its reputa.

TAR FLAT still maintains its reputa- tion for lawlessness. The man recently killed, supposed to have been shot by Chinaman, was first found on the morn ing after his death by a man named Reardon, who instead of reporting his death robbed the man of his money and revolver. Upon the discovery of the facts by the citizens he was in coniunc- ton with the Chinaman arrested by the citizens who were determined to punish both offenders according to their separate merits The Chinaman it was proposed to hang and the white man to be severe ly whipped and then forced to leave the camp, and it is the opinion of NIT. Courtney who left there Wednesday, that both men would be punished as stated that night or, as Mir Courtney thinks both were most probably hanged, as the citizens were determined to put an end to the high-handed lawlessnsss which has for so long time ran rife in the camp. The roughs and slugs who have gathered there in such numbers do no work but prey so necessarily upon the honest labor that the latter class are difficult to obtain or at best work but a few days and then leave, to the serious annoyance of the contractors who are thus always hort-handed. Messrs. Ward and Courtney have in their employ but about one hundred men when at least three times that amount are needed. Application for police officers has been twice made to the proper authorities, but as yet no attention has been given to the subject The delay in the construction of the road Is not due to fault of the contractors who use every effort to for ward the work along, butito the condi- ton Of circumstances, by which good men are prevented from continuing at their labors.

THERE are plenty of measures inviting the careful attention of our infant Board of Trade, some of winch should receive consideration at the first meeting of that body. The right of way for the railroad from Calabasas and the location of its depot are matters of great local impor- tance, and dema3a the earliest attention O. that body. Another matter bearing directly upon the future prosperity of Tucson, is the establishment of smelter and quartz mill for the reduction of ores, with view to the ultimate erection of refining works. The central location of our city, in the midst of a rich mining region, with facilities for transportation, proximity to the coal beds when the pro jected railroad is completed to them, plenty of water and vast array of minor resources and other advantages, all mark Tucson as the proper place for such works. It would,prove profitable spec ulation to donate S20,OO0 to secure their erection on the banks of the Santa Cruz. The Board of Trade will have plenty of work before 1t from it's first meeting or- ward.

HE Washington Critic which has been generally credited with being a stalwart journal, in speaking of the Garfield Rosecrans letter, says: "The great body of the American people have made up their minds about Garfield. They watched in feeling by his bedside all last summer anl they came to regard him almost as a member Of the family. When he died they incurred, and when he vas laid away to rest forever, they took his fame into their keeping. These, let us remark, are the people who cast the votes. No matter what may actually have been made of it, whosoever, or for whatsoever purpose. attempts to drag his fame through the mud, will encounter n re- sentiment little short of ferocity."
