Clarion.
 Clifton t Southern Pacific Railway IS the incorporation name of the railroad being built from LOrdsburg here.
 There are about 175 Chlnamen in Clifton district. They work about the mines up Chase's creek and the Corona do railroad principally.
 A party of twenty odd armed men ranchers principally, from Grant coun- ty, New Mexico. have been Tn this cOur- ty the past week hunting stolen stock. In the vicinity of San Jose they recOV- cred several horses and eight or ten head of stock.
 At CO1's camp, Maytiower district, 30 miles southeast of Clifton, there are SIX men at work. The ore found in this district IS copper silver glance, and the parties who own the claims are opening them up fully before putting them on the market.
 $. NJ. Hamilton of New York, and G .. II. Simpson, of Boston, are the purchas- CTS of the five groups of mines recently sold in this district From the fact that these gentlemen are heavy stockholders in ihe Old Dominion company of Globe, we were lead to enormously state that the ssld company WAS the purchaser.
 The mysterious mission of Captain Cravfords Indian scouts Is a mysteey no longer. There are about thirty armed bucks of the reservation. It Is belived that they are secreted in the Ash Spring mountains, where the Apache scouts also. are. No alarm need be felt however. as there are four troops Of cavalry at Fort Grant and a like num- Der at Fort Thomas. The officers at these posts have received orders from headqusrters to be ready at any mo- ment to take the field. However, 1T the thirty bucks who have left San Carlos are believed in military circles to be the forerunners of general stampede. why not give the settlers waning?

THE TARIFF BILL.


 The prospect of passing the tarlii oiI during the present session is improving. The discuss,on of the bill has developed the fact that there are enoIgh tariff men in the two parties, to make quite 8 re- spectsble majority when t comes Co final vote. and while few reductions may be made Tn the rHte here and there, tbev will amount to but little as a whole. Ii has been so shaped as to make the irop and steel men safe. and Is reasoI- ably satisfactory to ths silk, cotton, wool, glass and sugar manufactures. We have no doubt that a great deal of labor has been performed by the committee, but it now looks as though their efforts to readiust the tariff will prove to be ot little value to the country. The com mittee has been besieged by rich man. ufacturers. who have not oDly persisted in being heard, but have sctuau y forced the committee to adopt their view of the question. Whether the time has arrived for reducing the protective tariff on many home manufactured articles Is a question upon which there is a great diversity of opinion among those whose opinions should be valued. But 50 far Rs We have observed, the interest of the individual, or the locality iu which he lives, has much to do in shaping lis opinion. 4 New England man may be put down as being in favor ofprotectIge tariff on cotton and woolen mauuiac- tured goods; the Pennsylvania man ls found to be in favor of protecting iron and steel, while Indiana Is found rally ing around the only plate glass manu- facturer in the United States. Politics do not seem to have cut any figure m the question; Denocrats and Republi- cans are found working together. wHer- ever . reduction of the tariff affects their constituents. Western and Southern men are, as a rule, in favor of a reduc- ton, but they are 1ot strong enough to carry their point, and must submit to the majority which Is still III favor of a protectiye tariff

IF the people Of Tacs0n and Pima county sign the petition which tue stock men are circulating, the Leglslai- ure should act favorably upon 1t, and we certainly have nothing to say m tue mstterfurther than we think some whodo not sign as well as some who do sign, will "squesl" when the bill is settled. There seems to be a difference in calculation. ''Stockman" ID this mornings Star says it will not cost but S9,000 while We say # will cost in the neighborhood of SiA,- 000. It the rest of our people want to pa! this amount, or any amount for thls purpose. We will cheerfully pay our mite towards it, "Stockman" is in error sbout denying that some such an affair did not cost the county SlL000.

HON. E. H. WILEY PRESIDENT OF THE coUs-

The session of the Legislature IS now drawing to the close. The officers and members of the two Houses have stood the cruclal test of capabihty and in- tegrity to a degree that makes the body a credi: to the intelligence of the people of this Territory. The CITIZEN has narrowly scanned the course of Hon. l.. H. Wiley both as the presiding officer of the Council and as an individual meni- ber of that body, and We are free to say that he has met the expectations oi his most sanguine friends.
 Mr. Wiley is graduate Of fine An napolis Naval Academy ranking second in class of seventy-fve. We chanced recently to fall in with a number of naval officers from the Pacific squadron who were acquainted with NIT. Wiley and spoke in the highest terms e. his ability and thought the service offered too limited opportunities for a man of his capacity.
 After reslgning his commisslon he entered civil life, engaging in com merce and railroading, showing in them grasp and comprehension that has made him successful. Two years ago he came to this Territory in connection with one of Tombstone's most prosper ous bonanzas, the Grand Central. The judgment ot his associates in Co chise county was best evidenced by the tlattering vote he received.
 As presiding officer of the Council, and member Of that body he has shown great capacity. His appointment of committees, his rulings all show sound judgment, and he has discharged every duty impartially. His associates all unite in commenting him. MT. Wiley is young man and if he resides in this Territory with the prestige of his sue cess and Legislative experience, the pub lie may hereafter find broader field iD which to use his ability and energy for the good Of the Territory.

STABILITY OF TUCSON.

Strangers on arriving at Tucson often ask what keeps up your town; will it not soon go down? what supports your great commer cial houses? where does the trade come from?" In answer we can only say there are nrany things that contribute to the support of Tucson; there is no danger of its going down, un- less our own people fail to do their duty. Our commercial honses live and thrive as similar houses do in every country; the trade of THcson comes from all di- rectiOns, and from large area of coun- try. It comes from Lordsburg on the East to Yuma on the West, and from Globe on the Nortk 10 the extreme southern part of Sonora. Mexico, on the South. While the country embraced cannot be compared 10 so many square miles in rich agricultural region, yet 1t is so large that when 1t becomes cen tered at any given point as Ut Tucson, it is by no means insignificant. We should remember that a country SO large, in a good agricultural region, sup ports a score more towns as Tucson, be- sides one or more cities of the first or second class. Take borough town in the States, with a population of from 10000 to i50O0 people, and it has no trade beyond the limits of the small county in which it is situated. while the trade of TucsOn extends hundreds of miles in every direction.
 1T all the good farming land which IS in cultivation and producing good crops in the ariea above indicated would be collected together and spread out around Tucson, 1t would give 1t the ap- pearance of a vast agricultural region covering hundred Of square miles of the very best productive land; though not so situated 1t is nevertheless of as much value to us because the owners find a market here for their produce, and III turn buy all kinds of farm implements and farm supplies from our merchants, who are noted for fair dealing. In ad- ditioa to the trade from agricultural communities, our merchants supply stock men with everything except beef. that they use or consume and they always have the cash to pay for what they want And last, but by no means least, IS the trade of the mining camps which amounts to hundreds of thousandsIof dollars annually. The dry plain may look barren and deserted, but the little range Of mountains ID the background may swarm with Iabocers, working under ground. who must be clothed and fed.

THOROUGH reduction works hkethe Argo Ut Denver could just as well be built up here as there. It would yield a princsly income to the capitalists in- terested. and at the same time be of in- cslculable advantage to the mining interest of the Territory. The large amount oi base ore in the Territory prevents the successful operation of many mines that would be worked to a profit if there were complete reduction works in the Territory. There Is cer- tainly no more promising field for capi- tai than this enterprise. And Tucson should take the initiative and offer a bonus for the establishment of such works.
