THE CITY ADMINISTRATION.

The inaugural address of MT. Tully last night was straightforward. Our new Mayor, though not our choice, seems to be on the right track, and so long as he pursues a consistent course, such as he has outlined in his first ad- dress to the Council, We will cheerfully give him our hearty support. He refers to our sanitary condition and the neces- sity of taking prompt action, m order to be prepared to stay the inroads Of smallpox, which may soon visit our city, as it already has nearly every city and town in the eastern States. This pre- caution on the part of Mayor Fully will meet with the approval of the entire community.
 The lighting of our city with gas, and the securing of wholesome water, IS also referred to, both of which he has reason to believe will be attended to at an early day.
 Our sidewalks and streets" he says, "are not in as good condition as we would wish them to be, but this can easily be remedied by the property holders owning property on the streets" Mayor Fully is correct in his views. The property owners should build the sidewalks. The city authori' ties should pass an ordinance to lay sidewalks on certain streets, and give the property owners reasonable time to build sidewalks, but in case they fal to do 30, then the city should take 1t 1T hand. build the sidewalk in front of tho delinquent's property, and assess a taI against said property to pay for thu same. This is the way all street i'm movements except street crossings) art made in all large towns and cite throughout the country, and 1t IS tn only just and feasible way to do il Tucson has a bright future, if our citi zens will take hold and work together
 but we have much to do. Tucson IS Il
 her infancy. and all our people shoul,
 ioin in and work for the common goo,
 of our town. A few well directed stroke now are worth more than wb le year ] hammering when the iron becomes colo In conclusion, Mir. Tully asks the indu
 rence of the people on account of his II experience. That he need not hay . done. The people are ever ready to al
 plaud a judicious act or condemn an II
 malicious one. We rely ou the practic' /; common sense of Mayor Tully to lead | safely through his administration, an . trust that it may rebound to the benei 2 and future prosperity of Tucson.

We are apt, Wheh we notice similar features in current events with those which marked previous era of com inercial disaster, to predicate from them the recurrence of a panic. The exten- slve railroad building was a marked characteristic of the year 1873, in which the last financial crash occurred Fix tensive railroad building has marked the last two years, and 1t has created grave apprehensions that we were on the eve of another break. We do not think, however, that these fears are well founded. The other conditions which went to produce the unfortunate result in 1873 are wanting now. InlS73 every body, every corporation, every town, city, county and State was involved in debt. Values were dropping from year to year. For years our foreign indebt- edness, with its annual interest and the large adverse balance of trade, had sapped the resources of the country, and the only money in use were prom ises to pay that which no one had.
 Since 1873 debts have been cancelled either by insolvency or actual payment. The country has generally ceased to contract debts, Wholesome laws have been enacted against issuing bonds by local authorities in aid of this and that project. And in addition to this the balance of trade is now m our favor by a large majority, and there has been con- stant shipments of gold to this country. Then our gold, silver and copper mines are annually adding millions to the wealth of the country.
 The railroad enterprises of to-day are undertaken by individual capital, and are in the main engaged in as business propositions and not to obtain local aid or land grants which furnished the stim- ulus for railroad building in 1873 and previous years.
 We can see no grounds for fears on but, taking int5j colshefaaaad huilding: ton of those enterprises which produce  actual wealth, we consider the financial outlook for 1882 in this country as most flattering.
 If sufficient capital turns its attention to the mines of Arizona and develops them in judicious manner, their pro- duct alone will furnish the sinews Of war for all the gigantic enterprises now on foot.
 America is now drawing upon the Old World for population and gold, and has within her territories untold wealth Tn her productive soil, her great manufac- turing enterprises and her rich mines. We can see in this no ill omen for the future.

Sixty cents invested ID whisky, in the year 1869 cost Tanning county, in time and money, more than the revenue aris- ing from the whisky tariff for five years amounted to.

TIE administration shows no dlsposl- ton to let up on the alleged Star route frauds. A Washington dispatch says that offenders in the Star route ring will be proceeded against before the Grand Jury, and the witnesses have been sub ppnaed to appear on the 2lst. The prosecution are confident as ever Of their ability to obtain indictments, and say, further, that all who were implica- ted in the frauds, from the highest to the lowest, will be punished. Civil suits are to be brought in different parts of the country to recover money paid to the Star route contractors under the Brady administration, for services which were never performed. It is claimed that some of the contractors got their routes upon afidavits containing exaggerated statements of the number of men and horses employed, and that some never really expected to perform the servlce' though they received increased pay, and the Government can prove these facts. Where evidence to these facts can be ob- tained, suits will be brought against the contractors, or, if they are not solvent against their sureties, to recover what money was illegally paid, or was obtain ed by fraud and misrepresentation, oT for service represented to have been rendered that was, in fact, not rendered

PRESIDENT ABTHUE's course in the ap- pointment of the members of his cabinet IS meeting the approval of the working members of the party, although great cry is made about their being Staiwarts- The ~Stalwarts- have borne the burden and the heat of the day and they are enti- tied to recognition. Garfield recognized thas fact when he appointed Blaine, James and Lincoln. They are certainly stalwart enough. Itishigh time that these distinctions between members of the Republican party were obliterated and all become active working members. If the principles Of the party are worth anything they are worth working for, and f that constitutes Stalwarts the sooner all become Stalwarts tae better.

If any body wants to know what has become of the Utes and the Ute diff culty, We can assure them briefly that matters are advancing quite in the old accustomed way between the red-skin and the white. The treaty required S25,OOO to be paid to the Southern Utes last autumn. It never has been paid. Where 1t has stopped on the way be- tween the United States Treasury and the men to whom it is due is not for us to say. The Indians are becoming ex- asperated and dangerous. In a few months Ut Is quite easy to forecast the history of the whole affair to the end) they will demand their money more UT gently. They won't get it. Having no other appeal than to arms they will go on the war-path. Iniiammatory dis patches will be sent in from the frontiers. Troops will be ordered out, and then we shall hear of terrible massacre of Unit ed States soldiers by the fred devlls." |" After q week or two of horror it will turn fii,. .tR9t tbe l.ssaall5ieFs are al aliTe and slot-how many it is not usually worth while to count.

THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.

The year 1881 was ushered in with dire prognostications of impending ca lamities of every conceivable name and nature. Old Mother Shipton's doggerel was raked up to add to the fears of the ignorant and the superstitious. Wars, plaques, pestilence, earthquakes, floods. famines and financial distress were all to afiiict mankind in the fateful year 1881.
 There were strange considerations of events which, by the superstitious, may be considcrrl as iGlfllments of these prophecies, but the world still lives and moves, nEd in fiuaucial point of view appears as prosperous as ever. With the exception of the year 1880, there were fewer failures in 1881 than in any year sInce 1874, and the amount involved much less than in any of those years. Dun's Commercial Agency gives the following table of failures since 1872:

GUNsIeHr AND MEYERS DISTRICT.

The new wagon road to Gunsight and Meyers district is thronged with freight wagons and prospectors. The construc- ton of this road will not only encourage the development of many valuable min ing properties, but will call attention to some of the finest grazing lands in Ari- zona. All that is necessary now to make wells na1-- ar5.-;rI--,,l11 'uug, one iit a distance O. 25 miles and the other at 40 miles distant from Tucson, and an abundance of water has been found m both of them. Dobbs has struck plenty of water at Coyote at a depth of thirty feet, and is now building corral pre- paratory to opening a regular station. Water IS found at Comobarbari and other Indian villages along the road But other wells should be dug at once. Large freighting trains are compelled to take possession Of the Indian wells and hold them for the time in order to se- cure a sufficient supply for their anl- mals and to take on the road, which IS a great inconvenience to the Indians, and which. sooner or later, will result n un- pleasant feelings between the whites and Indians. It is to be hoped that other enterprising men will profit by Dobbs' example, and that other stations may be established before warm weather
 begins. Such enterprises would prove to be paying investments, and beneficial | 70 all concerned.

The Tulare County Board of Supervi- sors have learned a few things, and among them is a method of getting rid of talkative visitors. They have, like all other county boards of supervisors, been pestered with lot of windy visitors, who come to transact a little business with them, and who give very large amount of gratuitous "chin music" They have procured a very large-sized card, on which IS depicted a poor fellow lying dead in his coffin, and under 1t the fa- miliar legend: "This man was talked to death" They have the chairs of the room so arranged that visitors are com pelled to sit at a certain point, and by series of strings the placard mentioned is SO arranged that when a talker has got seated and commenced his labOrs the Chairman of the Board, with a gen tie motion of his foot, brings the card square before the "bOre's" eyes, and with in a foot of them. This generally closes the argument. Last week a Fresnoite, who had claim before the Board, put in his appearance and started up his "auger."
