Mention has been made elsewhere of the proposition to pipe out tue waters of the Sabino canyon for the purpose 1f irrigajiug the Santa Cruz mesas and -o supply the city of Tucson with pure water. The SabinO canyon Is eleven miles northeast of Tucson, and is the largest canyon that opens into the Santa Catalinas. IL drains some four hun dsed square miles of territory. which Is mostly covered with pine, maple. spruce and oak. The canyon IS HD abrasion of nature through the granite mountain sides. Through this cut the ram and spring water come down from the piueries. At a point at the mouth of the canyon. eleven miles from, and elevated 400 feet above Tucson, 1t is proposed to build dam between two rocky bluffs. The dam will be 100 feet high, 400 feet across at the top, and l20 feet length of base. It will be bow shaped, the bend being against the flood. This will back the waters up the canyon for two miles, and hold in reservoir be- tween three and four billion gallons. n quantity sufficient to last the city of Tucson three years. and carry t over one year in case of dr0uth. This re- servoir will also enable many thousands of acres on the Santa Cruz mesas to be cultivated. There is an ever flowing stream Of water in this canyon, and at a point ten feet above the water line oi the proposed reservoir and few rods to the west of the dam-site there will be a cut made to let out the surplus water. NIT. Calvln E. Elliott, the organizer and promoter ot this scheme, has selected a site on n beautiful slope nenr this outlet for a hotel. The view from this stand point is grand, affording a sight of the whole Santa Cruz valley, with the sur rounding mountains. and the cIty of tucson.

GENERALS CROOK and Pope have peti- toned Congress to reward officers by breyet commissions for gallant services in Indian wars. This Is a grim and ghastly joke.

With few exceptions the losses are confined to the poorest people. The Democratic county committee will wire Delegate Oury for Congressional aidr This IS Q wise course and we hope the delegate VIII put forth all hIs strength to secure the appropriation
 There ought to be no difficulty in the way. If We are not mistaken. however, there are yet funds remaining from the Ohio valley flood sufferers appropria- ton, and if there is, the Delegates work will be light and quickly done, as he will apply to the Secretary of War through the proper channel and get what is asked for. In the meantime this people will need help. The people have not responded as promptly to the call for subscriptions as we had hoped. We are still asking for contributions.

IT is the newspapers turn in this country to abuse the German minister in the same spirit that the German press have abused the American minister. It would serve Germany just right. The German minister will probably inform his master that he has been insulted by the Secretary of State. It begins to look as if hOnOrs were even.

IT is said that Bismarck has lost forty pounds of flesh since the hog and Lasker matters came up for consideration. Well, Bizzy's flesh will drop off his bones when he reads that Congress is contem- plating to stop all importation to this country from any country that forbids the importation Of our hog product; SO If they have got anything over in Ger many that they desire sent to this land of the hog, they must not attempt to send it. This is only a little piece of re- taliation, and especially if Germany at tempts to send any adulterated wines over here, they can't come. We won't have it. We must bring the great chan cellor to his senses. and force him 10 eat hog, or We won't eat lmburger. That is about the meaning of the bill in- troduced in congress a day or two ago.

4 LITTLE TOO FAR.

The first lot of coffins brought to the state of Arkansaw created a sensation. It had been the custom 10 have the eoffins made to order. Nene were kept on hand, and when man died, the carpenter came and took his measure. The first shipment was received by an oio fellow named Riggs, a strict member of the church and of such a gentle and quie, nature tha, he never shot a man. He always performed his little social cere- monies with knife. Shortly after the coffins came, the pastor of Biggs' church, while on visi, to the old man, ehancing to look into the wareroom," exclaimed
 Good gracious. Brother Biggs, who's dead .'
 Nobody
 Well, wha, family of people IS going to die:"

 "i didn't make them, they were brought on."
 Then you are waiting for people to die in order to sell your cofiins ~

 Look here, Brother Biggs, it's all well enough to make mans coffin, bu, to forestall the intention of the Lord is carrying the thing little too far. The man that would speculate on death ain't the proper person to be member of my church, so you needn't come around any more
