Until the occurrence of the Carlyon
disaster the other day, the Rome,
Watertown and Ogdensburg Railway
was reckoned among those roads on
which accidents were rarest. Since
then one Of its freight trains has run
into a train of New York Central, at
Charlotte, injured passengers and
property. Its spell of good fortune is
thus for a time broken.

THE COMPANY AND THE OPERATORS.
Like many similar gigantic enter
prises. the Western Union was an
outgrowth of the war During the
rebellion the extent of the country
covered by military operations was so
vast, and the necessities for rapidly
carving orders and information were
so important, that companies owning
short lines We're compelled to act in
concert to facilitate business. In all
military districts government sup
erintendents of telegraph lines We're
appointed, who had absolute control
over all such lines within their dis
trict. During the five years of the
war the system of telegraphy became
thoroughly established. and after its
close it was an easy matter to put the
combination upon commercial
basis. and with the men in charge
who had buff up and developed the
combination the Western Union be-
came the great telegraph monopoly OF
the United States, at once the largest,
richest and strongest in the world.
The men who originated the company
still controal and operated it, with the
government director of telegraphs
dnring the war at its head. With the
growth of the system there has been a
commensurate increase in the bust.

The snove picture may be somewhat overdrawu, but there can be but little doubt of the narrowing life of our rich men who never seem to think they have enough, but keep on doubling their money year after year, till they finally discover when 1t Is too late. that they have little else but money. Ii is true that some of our rich men make good use of their money; but where there IS one that does, ten d. not.

THF citizens of Sonora, for the first time. begin to realize the great advan- .ages of a railroad. Hitherto they have had only local trade for their wares, and a poor one at that. Oranges, lemons and ponezrauates were carted to Quay mas overland from Herm1sIllo and Ures OF 10 Tues ,n where they arrived m bad order. and were disposed of at low prices. Now that the railroad is com plered they find no trouble Tn disposlnS of their crops at good prices, receiving cash for their o-Inges at home. Parties have gone m there from Colorado and ,AFii4aRa aJpd TgEglagg 15.as1f down for the entire crop, and pIck it themselves. Many owners of orange groves have realized more money from this years crop than ever before, without the bother and expense Of looking after and gathering. The buyers have also done better, because they have put the fruit up in good shape and shipped 1t to Denver and Tucson with comparatively little loss. The sonora orange IS much sought after and good market could be had for ten times the amount of fruit now produced 4 brisk trade has als
 sprung up in smoking tobacco and ei- gars. which arc sought after on this side Of the liue: m fact they have steady and growing market for everything they can produce. It Is believed that the de- mands of Americans for the products of Sonora will stimulate the people of that State to new energy and cause a revival of trade and prosperity hitherto un- | known to that country.

This contest came before the Senate last week. and resulted in a ''dead-lock,
 which has thoroughly demoralIzed the Legislature, and for the past few days the action of that body has been ex- tremely disgracefuL The breach has been widening from day to day, until the members have become useless for any good as legislators, and if com promise of some kind is not reached soon, they might as well go home unhl they quiet down sufficiently to act with | some reason and common sense.

From Prescott and Tucson we learn that Phenix IS Co be depOpulated by the smallpox scourge in a short tune If the thing continues. The facts m the case we herein give to set at ease all who are troubled about smallpox. Some $. ven weeks ago a man was taken sick ID Herrick's corral; some doctors pro nOunced 1t smallpox and some chicken pox, but later develODments proved 1t to be the former. From this case We have had about twenty cases of small pOx. but as strict quarantine rules have been adopted 1t has been confined tO five houses in this city. At present we have but three houses where there are patients; one in the southern, one in the eastern and one in the northern part of town, and all are either well or about SO. Not a person has died here that was treated for smallpox, and in all probs- bility none will die, ard inside of ten days we will be entirely rid of 1t. The above are the true facts in the case, and We wish the Tucson, Prescott and other papers who have been circulating false reports to at least publish correct stste' meRts aegut us.

AS English physician of much experI- ence with fauudling hospitals gives a striking example of the tallacy of the artificial food theory. He states that nineteen per cent of those cared for by wet nurses ave died; while of those uursed by artificial food 54 per cent had died. Or loo children nursed by their mothers 63 per cent were healthy, B per ceur tols-abiy SO and 4per cent were slckIy. while loo children fed on artificial food, but 10 were healthy, 26 tolerably so and.64 per cent were slckly. A practice lnjurous to chlld's health Is, he says. that of nursing immediately after birth; another that of nursing after nilht, as childs stomach, as well as an adults needed rest. 1T the milk IS insufficient, other food may be added. He recommended fasting during illness, instead of constant feeding, and advised the giving of a drink of barley water before nursing, especially ID hot weath- ar. It would be well for mothers who have sick children to observe these sug- gestions, and not put children on arti- Raial food, if they can help It

A VERY erroneous impression exists abroad as to the extent of the territory which Is periodically infested with hostile Indians ID ArIz1ns. IL is the impression abroad that Indians swarm throughout the length and breath of Arizona when in reality there Is but s small portion of Arizona, which lies between the Gila rive- from the San Carl s agency east to the New Mexico line and south Co Sonora, embracing less than one-seventh of the Territory. In all other sections of Arizona 1t is as safe for life and property as in any other of the States and Territories. People fail to realize that ArIZona embraces sufficient territory for an empire, and that 1t Is more tan five hundred miles from Shakespeare to the Needles, and four hundred miles from Sonora to the northern line fl the Territory.

RRPREsENTATIvE Calkins, of Indiana, who was recently in Washington, does not think that history repeats itself at such small intervals that TildeG and Hendricks will be the democratic ticket next year, or tbat Hendricks wIll appear on the ticket lat all. "Hendricks," he says, "ls in avery bad physical condi- tion. He has what is called senile gan- grene. It appeared at the end of his big toe on the right foot, which was treated as boil by physician m IndI- annapolis. He is now compelled to walk on his heel" From this statement 1t would appear that Mir. Hendricks Is in poor plight for an active campaign, while we have no authentic information that Mr. Tilden can even walk on his heel. However, as there Is not much prospect to electing a democratic ticket, they may do as well to put up for figure heads as to kill of some other and more robust democrats.
