TIE discussion of a prohibitory tax on the spurious wines of France has startled them, even before the proposed measure is introduced in Congress. NJ Leon Chotteau, the champion of the wine interests of France, has already sailed for the United States to see what can be done to prevent the passage oi the proposed prohibitory act. The French have been turning up their noses at our pork for some time, but they do not seem to consider the fact that their adulterated wines have been turning American stomachs for the past POO years. The French must take ouT medicine, or we will not take theirs They must eat pork if they expect us to drink their spurious wines.

As WILL be seen by a call signed by Charles D. Poston in to-day's CITIZEN, he is desirous of interesting the old pio- neers of Arizona in a reunion, with a view of organizing a Pioneers Associa- ton similar to that in California and the western Territories. It is strange that such an organization has been SO long delayed, as they are pleasant reminders of the past and good collectors of his torical events in the days when it was worth 8 mans life to venture upon Ari- zona soil. MT. Poston suggests that the lne be drawn at the date of the celabra- ton of the completion of the Southern Pacific railroad to Tucson. We have no doubt but the call of Mir. Poston will meet with 8 hearty response from all sections of the Territory.

TIE agent of the Mescslero and Jac- carrillo bands of Indians has seven members of these tribes in Washington exhibiting them as "Apsches." One of the Indians, he says, "carries bullet in his leg, inserted there by one of Crooks troops" It must have been inserted in a prehistoric age, as none of Crooks troops were in shooting distance of an Indian during his recent campaigns until after they played "Gray Fox" in the Sierra Madres.

OUR CLIMATE AND THE EAST.


 Citizens of thIs country who read the 1 accounts of the extreme cold weather in ] the eastern states, and even in the same latitude on the Atlantic slope, with this where the mercury has run all the way from zero down to 30 deg. below, cannot but feel encouraged at the difference in the climate. Imagine the piercing winds there, the snow piled up over the fences, the ice from one to three feet thick; fol- low down through the season to spring, when the denizens of that country tramp around through the melted snow slush and mud, or struggle through swollen streams and inundated bottoms, then think of our bright sunshine every day almost, during the winter the mer- cury never getting lower than twenty above zero no slush nor mud, even after the heavy showers of refreshing rain.
 But the most agreeable feature of our climate IS what we experience in the tulAL4NA AAL4G- III OA tA4C OhosCA U states people suffer from sultry atmos- phere-no relief night or day. They vainiy hunt comfort m the shade, dur ing the day, and seek breeze at night. In the northwestern prairie states the citizens boast of their cool nights, but even there, night or day comfort is de- pendent on the breezes. If these do not come, shade is of no benefit, and night brings no relief. Here, We need no breeze for comfort. The moment you step away from the rays of the sun, into the shade, during the day time, or when the shades of night fall, you find relief, whether you have a breeze or not. "Back east" they throw open the doors and windows for the purpose of keeping cool. Here they close them. Taken all in all, this IS the most remarkably pleasant, and healthy climate on the l continent

TIE ORTHODOX CHURCH.

Figures are stubborn facts when truth
 fully presented, and the story they tel
 is often a surprise to the people. It i
 the impression among many well in
 formed people, that orthodox evangeli
 cal christianity is dying out Rev. Dr
 Aaron Gurney, late pastor of the Adl
 street Methodist church of Chicago, de
 livered a sermon in that clty last week
 which proved that instead of going to
 decay the increase of the orthodol
 church in the last thirty years has been
 the most remarkable in the history oi
 the church. In lSC) there were BOB
 church organizations In the United
 States; in lSJ0 they had increased e 4307O; in 1870 to 70,14s, and ID 1880 to 97,090, showing that in fifty-eighi years, from 1890 to 1858, the number oi evangelical churches increased 40,024 ''rhis Is the time" says Mir. Gurney, "thai our older christians look back to when they say the former times were better than these, and very many of them re- ally suppose that the church increase 2 fus.cr thea than it does in our time. But from 1850 to 1880, only thirty years IS against fifty, the number of evangelical churches increased 54,0lS, as against the 40042 of that first fifty years. From 1850 to 1870 the increase was 27,O76, and in the ten years from 1870 to 1880, 26, ,492, showing that the increase in the last ten years was more than half as great nearly tvo-thirds-as in the first fifty years of this century, and nearly as great in ten years last past as in the twenty years that preceded"
 The facts show that large as has been the immigration from foreign coun- tries, most of which counts against the orthodox church, and rapidly as the population of the country has in creased, the church has increased more rapidly than the population including both growth and immigration.
 In 1890 there was an evangelical church for every S95 inhabitants, and in 1880 one for every 520 of the inhabitants. the ministers were in 1900 one for every ,, 900 inhabitants, in 1850 one for every 907 inhabitants, and in 1880 one for every TT inhabitants.
 The evangelical communieants were in 1890 one for every fifteen of the pop ulation, ID 1850 one for every seven. ir 1870 one in every six, and in 1880 one in every five Of the population.
 The population in 1900 was little over 5,OO0eO0; Tn 1880 little over 50,- l000O0, the actual increase being little less than tenfold, but the evangelical churches have increased from about }00OOO to over I0.O0O,OO0, little over twenty-sevenfcld, or nearly three times ss fast as the population of the country has increased. And this" says Dr. Gurney, "is tue way evangelical orthodox christianity is dying out

A OoREHsPoNDEST of an eastern paper suggests the issuance of bonds for in- ternal improvements, such as the con- struction of custom houses, postotice buildings improvements of the rivers, canals, etc, which bonds he proposes to hand over to the National banks as se- cnrity for their iss1e in place of the usual bonds. A system of internal im- provements, as well as national banks is all right; but we question whether it would be a safe precedent to issue any more U. s. bonds for any purpose.

About the end Of November a gentle man called at the Academy of Natural ScIences, and introduced himself as W.
 F. Lee, of the Smithsonian Institute,
 Washington, stating he was an officer in
 the navy department for service at the
 institute, and employed by Professor Spencer F. Baird to travel through
 South America and Mexico, and make collections of Peruvian and Aztec curiosities, especially those of archelogi- cal and scientific interest. He said that he had receIved similar com missions from various institutions, among others the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and the Cincinnati Museum of Fine Arts, and from private individuals of wealth and scientific culture, and had just returned from a tour Of ilvestiga- ton and collection throughout Peru, Brazil, Central America, and Mexico; that among others be had brought a very fine collection of -AZtec remains, consisting Of sixty-three pieces (he was exact as to the number) for a Mir. Clark, of Boston, but that upon his arrival at Boston to deliver it he had found that NIT. Clark had recently dled, and that his widow did not care to keep 1t. The officials were naturally pleased at such an unexpected opportunity to increase theIr store of interesting objects. There was one little thing, however, which be should mention, and that was that this collection was vet in the Custom House at New York, there being due upon it the trifing sum of S310 for customs du- tles, which he would willingly pay him self but that, as his collections were so numerous, he could hardly afford it. The officers naturally concluded tO pay 1t ct once and avoid further trouble to the generous Mr. Lee. Before leaving Mir. Lee was impelled to donate-this tim 10 Prof. II. c. CressOn--a small but unique collection of frogs in filigree silver work, obtained from the tombs of the Incas. which was also in the Custom House, and upon which there was like wise due triffng sum due, S291, which NIT. c. paid at once. NIT. Lee then be took himself buck to the Academy oi | Sciences, and cOnfided to the Curator that he had lost his pocket book at the hotel and begged the advance Of SlO, SC that he might be able Co take the early train for Washington and thus not bt ! detaIned by the necessity of telegraph ing for money, but the Curator advised him to telegraph. He also swindled Prof. Wm. Wagner and Chas. P. Sher. man out of small sums by the same methOds.-Cmcago Inter-OceBn.
