SENATOR FILL ON REVENUE.

The speech Of Senator Hull, Of Cobra do, on the tariff question is so different from most speeches on that question
 during the discussion, that we give some of the main features Of his speech.
 Mr. Hill said he was willing to revise
 the tariff but he saw no occasion for re- ducing the revenues. The Government revenues were SO. collected that they
 burdened no person and no interest, al though they are large. The redemption Of Government bonds released large quantities of;capital which had for years been locked up nnproductively. This capital has to seek reinves tment, and for that purpose 1t went west. Conse- quently the best thing for the\newer States Of the Wes- was the reverse of tax reduction Mr. Hill argues that it
 would make capital more abundant and cheap for the construction of railroads and developments in other ways of the younger States and Territories. It seems to Us that, from @ western stand point, Mir. Hills argument is sound. Even the pension roll. wlth all its long list Of fraudulent pensioners, does much to keep the business of the country in a prosperous condition for without the pension roll large amounts of money would have been locked up in the United States Treasury which could not have been withdrawn, consequently it could not have been cir culated among the people. Then sgain. every dollar that is taken of the tobacco and whisky tax, enables the high pro tectiye tariff men to further protect the manufacturing interest of the East. The argument made use Of by the East in favor Of high protective tariff, is very peculiar; they say that they must have protection, or the English manufacturer with his cheap labor will drive them ont of business; but there is nothing said about our standing invitation to these same cheap labor men of Europe to come to the United States, and they are coming by the hundred thousands, to rOmpete with our labor.

TERRITORIAL AID TOR WAGON ROADS.

The Territorial Legislature should be very careful in extending aid towards assisting the building of wagon roads. We know Of some roads to which such aid has been extended where the roads were not needed, and where tue work has been done in such slipshod man her as to render the work useless to the locality where 1t is situated Aid should not be granted from the Territorial fund unless the road promises to be of general use to at least portion of the Territory, and the point sought to be reached Is one that possesses elements of permaneucy. Roads to mines as usual thing. should be built by the own CTS of the mines; taS payers should not be called upon to foot such bills, espe- cially when any bullion such mines may produce Is not taxed.
 We know of a number of roads in Pi- ma county winch have been built or aid has been extended by the county to help build that are now unused and Of course have proven worthless to the county. When a bloom" is gotten up in mining camp whether it is good for anything or not, much talk IS calculated to mIslead and cause people to believe that | vii! prove good, when really there are no good grounds for such conclu- sion, and the camp may turn put to lee a failure, and whatever aid may be ex- tended prove an utter loss to tho couu- ty, without deriving the least benefit the-pfron.

rHE sAN cARIos AaENcy.

The Arizona Weekly Enterprise of the
 10th instant, coutains a very severe at
 tack on P. r. Wilcox Of tbe San Carlos
 Agency. It recites the substance Of an
 agreement between Secretary Teller and
 BIr. Wilcox relative 10 the tradership.
 which had the color Of fraud. Thesub-
 stance or tine alleged agreement was
 that "when Wilcox arrived at the Agency
 be found that itwas not desirabls place to live. and be offered Teller S2.- 0)0to relieve him from the appointment aud permit him to take his old stand in tle political affairs of Colorado Why should be offer Teller 5000 to do an act which he had la rightto do without costing hin a cent? Certainly there is no law ID the country to force e man to hold au office. This portion otthe Enterprises charge is certainly not worth consider atloa.
 But the Enterprise goes further and
 makes the charge that he WAS instru- mental ia securing the revocation ot Conuel and Woods license of post tra- Jers for the San Carlos Acency; and t.at H5se Bros. were appOlnted post traders: that Wilcox signed notes and presented them in payment for the goods they had in stock; that Wilcox, the agent look charge or the cash, and in short carried ou She business Of post trader iu connection with his office oi Agent at Sa1 Carlos. Some of the charges are, slys the Enterprise. backed up by sworn statements, and finally the charge is made that Agent Wilcox IS in partnership with his son-iD-law J. i. 1 Saotwell in the post trader business
 What portion Of the charges are sup ported by sworn testimony, does not ap- i pear from the reading of the Enterprise article That Agent Wilcox had per feet right to prefer charges against 2Iessrs. Cornell and Wood there caa be no doubt. As to the other charges, they do not seem to be of that charac- ter which will carry conviction, unless they are supported by good testimony. ] A mau who woulid do such foolish tLiugs as are charged against Agent Wilcox, not only shows his unltness for tLe office be holds, but shows that he is not pos sessad of ordinary sense, which is con --ary to what all have heard Of that gen .lemau. The entire story looks very much like a trumped-up affair ir spir- t of revenge by those who are not 5leasel with the changes that have been made. There are always two sides to ve-y story and both should be heard before a man is condemned.

THERE hss arisen diversity oi opinion upon a provision of the new city charter in which It requires certain mat ters of tus School Board to be sub mittoi to the City Council for ra.ifca- tiou. In Illinois this Is the rule, but it often causes much contention and bit ter animosities. It is clauned and with a good deal ot reason, that the Board ought to be the judge of their own mat ters. Frequently Councils are made up Of politicians, men of little or DO educa- tion, whereas the members cf school Boards are educated men, and If prac- tical business men as well. better judges than those who lay small claims as educators. This, however, IS matter winch must be decided by the com mittee appointed last night and ratified or rejected by the meeting Of citizens to be held next Saturday evening.

lI-. Edward 5. Hackersou, an English
 Esllemal who has been in Arizona
 f1- tLa past two months spent a little
 tlle ll Tacsou tlis week. Mir. Hacker Son has travelled quite extensively and among other places spent a year iu Cape oi Good Hope, South Africa.
 Nllle tAere he examined the land where o7s-.cl farming was so successfully car rieo o-, and Le expresses the opinion t.at, a, some future day Arizona will be a great p-oducer or ostrich feathers
 lie says there IS not the least doubt of the aiaptaJiIsy of the country and climate to successful ostrich farming: they will eat almost anything, though 1t Wo--d be necessary to feed quite literally of corn, which they like and seem Go Io Letter tbau on any other grain. Ostrich farming passed Its experimental stage on the Cape, 1862, OF about twenty year, ago. aud the value 0f feathers e1- po-5el has risen from nothing Go about S7.1JtOt0 annually.
 A year OF two ago ostrich chicks just out oi the shell were worth S2J; one month old 5,5J; at SIX monlhs old SlO8, one year oii SI50; two years old s2JQ. When they had proved their breeding quaiias tley brought Iroia S315 to SI051 per pair.
