IN THE BACKGROUND.

An Arizona paper mentions the fact that eastern merchants control the bulk of tine Arizona trade, and attributes it to :he fact that eastern people are energetic in drumming up trade, while these of California are spathetic in the matter. This is news to us. We supposed the San Fran cisco drummer found hls way every where this side of the neutral line on the Rocky mountains. The eastern drummer crosses that liue and invades the domain of the California com mercial traveller; but the California man seldom finds his way east of the Rockies, and, If the Arizona paper IS correct he does not thoroughlycanvass the field that ought to be his own by right of vicinity. The trade of all the region lying west of the Rocky mountains ought to be controlled by this city, and ii does not speak much for San Francisco mercantile enter prise when eastern merchants can control the greater portion of the trade of Arizona. Of course tho eastern merchant has the advantage in price in many articles; but in such goods as California produces and manufactures the difference in freight and time ought to more than over come that advantage. It IS hard to be forced to acknowledge it, but it is the fact nevertheless, that the bus mess men of Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City show more enterprise and push their trade with more ener. BY than is displayed by San Fran cisco merchants. California used to be considered the fast state of the Union, but as a mercantile state she is at present very much in the back ground.-S. F. Report.
 The Arizona paper that attributes the falling off in the trade with San Francisco to the fact that the field is not thoroughly canvassed by San Francisco drummers, must be both dull in observation and comprehen- sion. There is hardly day passes but what one or more western drum mers may be seen upon our streets. The cause lies deeper than that. Our merchants are rapidly learning that to buy in San Francisco is to buy in the dearest market, and that to deal direct with eastern jobbers is to have the benefit of greater competition and cheaper prices and rates of trans, portation. These are the superin- ducing causes for the change of base in mercantile operations throughout Arizona. There is no question but our people would prefer to keep up their connections with the West could they do so upon equal terms with the East; The inevitable is the master of all, therefore San Francisco mus, submit to this change with the best grace possible.

 We sincerely wish the foregoing statement were true. The evidence Is circumstantial that there are bands of San Carlos renegades passing back and forth between the reservation, and Sonora constantly. The murder of Whitsel, within sight of Tomb, stone, is a sufficient refutation of the Miners statement, but if more were wanted, the different bands seen in Sulphur Spring valley daring the last week is conclusive on that point

HAVERHILL, MASS.
A Thriving Manufacturing City Almost Obliterated from
 the Map.
The Business Center Entirely Gen. sumed by Fire - Immense De- structi0n of Property and
 Supposed Loss of Life.

BosTolr, Mass, Feb. 1S.-Reports from HaIverhill state that fire winch started in the business portion of the town tonight spread with great rapidity, the buildings being mostly of wood. The small fire de- partment was unable to cope with the flames. Assistance was inn mediately telegraphed for to Law rence, Newburyport, Lowell, and other towns. The town at this hour, 1:30, seems all ablaze, and the busi- ness portion will undoubtedly be destroyed. Engines have arrived from Lawrence. The First National bank. Five cent Savings bank, all of the lower part of Washington street, have been burned, and there IS no knowing where the fire will stop. Smith block, Finney block, Felton block, Prescott building, Union block, Cobbin building, on Washington street, Pre!ing building, on WingatA street, have all gone :. Loss several millions. Engines are coming from Newberyport and Dover. Numbers of families are burned out, and the streets are lined with merchandise and furniture.
 THE FIRE UNDER CONTROL.
 HAvERHILL, Mass, Feb. 1S.--The fire is under control. But one block remains on Wingate street, and two at the other end of Washington street. All else in the square bound ed by the Merrimac river on the south, Washington square and Essex street on the east, the north side of Wingate street on tn north, and railroad square on the west, is burned to the ground. This territory em. braces the largest part of the boot and shoe manufactories. The loss cannot be estimated at present. Jo- seph Pratt, fireman, IS killed, and Geo. Whittier fatally injured. What yesterday was the finest street in the city and the principal business part, IS to-day smoulderng mass of ruins. Some eighty shoe firms are entirely burned out, and others have suffered more or less damage. Two thousand people are out of employ ,nent, and several families are home less. Engines were present from Newburyport, Lawrence, and Lowell. Men are already at work clearing away the debris.
 Ober & Blake's and Gardner blocks on the north sides of Wingate street were several times on fire, but were saved. The wind blew fresh from the northwest, which, with the scar city of water and freezing of hose, nade it difficult to control the fire. Several men are reported missing, out nothing definite is known yet.

Providence (R. I.b June 2d.-Mayor
George n. Bliss, who was elected Senator
from East Providence to the State Legislature
day or two ago, has become politically in
sane. the cause being the excitement attend
ing the election. Irregularities in his con-
duct were first noticed yesterday, when he
exhibited strong likes for some persons and
strong dislikes for others. being very violently
opposed to some. He was to deliver ora
tion on Memorial Day at Rumford, but in
stead of speaking on topics that he should
have discussed he began with violent abuse
of the minister at that place, and used strong
and wild language. The only person who
could pacify him was the ministers wife.
He was put in close confinement and has not
been released at this writing. His wife is in
Virginia.

The New York Democrats.

So far as can be judged from the pres
ent standpoint the New York Democracy
in convention at Syracuse have acted
wisely. The differences existing be-
tween the New York County Democracy
have been healed so far as the conven-
ton could heal them. The three fac
tons were recognized and given pro
rata representation.
The nominee for Governor, Mayor
Cleveland, of Buffalo, is a young man
who led his successful ticket by five thou
sand at the polls in a fight for municipal
reform. He has many friends 10 make
and no enemies to punish. He is aloof
from the jealOusies and quarrels Of the
New York city factions, and the hearth
ness with which his nomination was
received, and the practical unanimitY
with which it was made, are portents
of triumph.
His opponent was forced on. the Re-
publican party, and this very fact rem
ders him repugnant to many who are
relied upon to support him. With Mayor
Cleveland at the head of the ticket,
nothing can prevent a Democratic tri-
umph in the Empire State but the
treachery of Tammany.

An Internal Machine.

A rather sad affair took place on one
of our streets the other dav. A Young
lady with her arms full of bundles
emerged from a dry goods store. when
one of them fell to the side walk without
her noticing it, Just behind her was a
young man, and Belfast young man
who is not polite is not anything, and he
quickly stepped forward and picked it
up. Now bundle done up in piece of
paper with dry goods advertisement on
it is apparently as harmless as q mothers
spanking, and there it lay as guileless as
an anglewOrm on sidewalk after a rain.
Just as he stopped to pick it up there
was a rustling of the paper, the twist
began TO come out of the ends, and
in another instant bright red thing,
a sort Of a cross between a bal
loon and devil fish, flew into the
air before his eyes, and a number ten,
Thirty -six-inch. double-jointed, duplex,
elliptic, steel bowed, hustle attachment,
dollar-and a-half, red-headed hoopskirt
waltzed around and gyrated and opened
and shut up and fell on the walk as fiat
and thin as a restaurant pie; and the
young man Strengthened himself up
looking as if he wished the tail of comet
No. 2 would sweep him from this fair
land; and the young lady came back
with a face that resembled q sunset on a
fifty cent chrome; and sheipicked up the
wire continuance, and then she went to-
ward the east and he went toward the
west, and the sun ducked his head be-
hind cloud to hide a smile, and three
or four looked on, laid down and
laughed, and doubled themselves up in
manner that would have made a mess
of green apples hang their heads in
shame.
