TIE Fourth of July was very hand sJmely celebrated in ihis city. It wHs, Se understand, perhaps the largest pro ,ession and more generally participated
 n than at any time heretofore. There vas great harmony and unity of action, and those who had the management of
 he affair deserve praise. Especially were the children handsomely provided tor. They had all they could eat md ice cold lemonade to drink. The :are of the children was one Ot the first considerations of the management, and 1t was not labor lost. Not only did the parents appreciate the attention and sare of the little ones, but it will be re- membered by the children until their latest days. The exercises generally. so far as we can learn, were successful and acceptable to the large assembly, except, perhaps, that the acoustics of the pa- vilion were SO miserable that only DOT ton of those present were able to hear those who read and spoke. The day was appropriately observed in all re- spects, and we are glad to know that we in Tucson have that sense of duty which calls to every patriot to celebrate the great day which determined the nations freedom We now enjoy. At one time, Tn the evening, we feared for the safety Of the court house. Foolishly and un- wisely, either by permission or other wise. some party carried quantity of fireworks to the top of the cupols and set fire to them, and it was but few moments until the floor on top was on fire. There was imminent danger, from the fact that the water works has not the water to that height, and 1t WAS some title tune before water was taken to them. Those who were on top fought the fire the best they could. The public are at a loss to understand why such an absurd and dangerous thing was al- lowed. It was universal belief Of those on the streets that 1t would set ire to the count house. The parties who did it, or permitted it, cannot be censured too severely.

The Nnmn EriGge.

In report of the destruction of tine Yuma railroad bridge, the Sentinel gives the following interesting facts:
 About two o'clock on Tuesday morn ing last, the bridge of the .. r. R. R. Co. at lumo crossing of the Colorado rlver, finally succImbed to the vast volumes ot water passing through it's piers and partially gave away, destroy Iug one per and two spans of the bridge of about l60 feet. Numerous employees and others were present at the time, but were pOwerless to resist tss sweep ing current of tue Colorado. The crash came like an earthquake, and was heard at distance from town.
 The construction ot the bridge was commenced m lS1S. principally under the direction of assistant superintend- ent of bridge construction, Seth Green, at a cost of some S2O0.OOO and was re- Earded as one of the best built bridges on our waters. Everything in it's con- structioD, d aw-bridge and abutments, were re arded as complete and sufficient Co Tesiat any high waters of the Col orsCO. The company has not yet, We learn, determined upon it's future plan of construction. Superintendent Curtis 1f th track department, Chief rngIneer HCod, Arthur Brown, superintendent ot bridges and W. r. Lambie, assistant superintendent of tracks, arrived in Yuma on Thursday and have been net iv, ly engaged m the preparation for the construction of the repairs and new side trackl. A tuntable will be built and also a pHmp and engine house erected on the California side of the Colorado. The steamer Gila plies the r.ver almost hourly transferring pas -eDgers, baggage and freight. Next week the trains will lose no time.
 Since writing the above, on Thursday morning about o'clock two more spans and one pier of the br dge were swept away, leaving nothing but an abutment on the California side and part of the draw-br.dge on the Yuma side, being length of 32O feet.

GEoRGF WILLIAM CURTIS, m Har- per's Weekly, continues to give his req sons for deserting the Republican party, and to attempt to justify himself Tn the act The lameness of his effort IS too apparept on the surface to need any et- fort to show how weak he is m his posi- tion. There is but one reason, and that is because George William Curtis said Blaine should not be nominated before tbe convention, in order to bulldoze the convention into nominating Edmunds. A very small fraction Of the convention WAS with MT. Curtis, and NIT. Edmunds could no more have been nominated than could John Sherman. In Tact, Sbsrman would have distauced Ed mnnds had the contest been between ,bese two. MT. Curtis said m hls speech in nominating Mir. Edmunds that each ord avery delegate would doubtless stand by the standard bearer, no matter wbo he WAS. This was said when Cur- tis hoped lightning might strike his man. and had it the Blaine delegates undoubtedly would have stood by the standard bearer. But Curtis carries his s,nreme selfshness and personal ani- mostly so far as not only to refuse to stand by the standard bearer of the Ike publican party, but uses the great liar ne,,s Weekly to defeat the Republicans and elect a Democrat It IS the old story. It has happened great many

times. It has never been successful. It wlll fail this time, and George Wm. Curtis will find that he will have to make his bed hereafter with the other sorehesds, who, one by one, have been relegated to barracks they have erected for their own own political death. Curtis has ventured to give the Demo- crats advice who to nominate. Such men as Watterson aud Dana fling the advice back into Curtis face as an insult. He may be welcomed by the Democrats in the role of a disgruntled Republican and encouraged by them to hit the Republican candidates hard licks, but Curtis must not presume to advise the Democracy. They will not take 1t as kindly now as when the Harper's Weekly was stauuch ad- vocate of Republican principles and worked hard for the success of the party, reaping a rich harvest from Republican subscribers. Mir. Curti, went into the convention as a delegate. and he should abide by the result. He, himself, has said that it was Blame convention, and that no combination could have defeated MT. Blaine. This only makes Mir. Curtis' position stil more embarrassing, in fact, dishonest, and we believe the country will be able N~ l.

HoRATIo SEYMOUR, the Democratic sage speaks. He says: Tt seems to me that Gov. Cleveland is the wise choice of the New York delegation as its candi- date for the presidential nomination at Chicago. 1 regard hlm as a man of great strength in this state. The ele- men.s of opposition to him in this state are not such in my judgment as would fail to support him after his nomination. I: will be remembered that Gov. TildeD carried this state in 1876, although B much more formidable combination from this state opposed his nomination at St. Louis. Gov. Clevelsnd's course has been an admirable one for the best interests of our state, aud commands the approval of all fair minded men, without regard to party. In the present condi- ton of the Republican party in New York, Gov. Cleveland would be voted by many Republicans

CONSIDERABLE feeling exists m some portions Of the west about the subject of oyerstocked ranges. says the Denver Republican. In the Yellowstone Park the ranchmen say the range ls wholly stocked, though it is estimated that there is only one animal to 100 acres of range pasture. In New Mexico there is hot discussion progressing as to whether there is room in the Territory for any more cattle, 1t being claimed that ten acres is sufficient for one COW. As matter of fact no one knows just how much land is required for the all yeaI round subsistence of cattle upon the range, because no one has yet made any exact trials to determine the amount. It would be difficult to deter mine exactly, because some years the range is better than others, and some portions of the range will be better than others. As bearing upon the subject, an article is given below, from the Farmers Union. It must be remem- bered that the figures given here have reference only to land upon which roots and forage crops are grown. Certainly ole acre Of land Will produce, in tonnage of feed, more than A dozen acres of uncultivated plains, though, ton for ton, the plains product may be the best feed and sustain the most cattle. The Union says: This question depends for an answer SO much on the circumstances of the soil as not to admit of a very definite answer. NIT. Schell, of Little Falls, New York, esti- mates that the land ID pasturage and hay requisite for the support of s COW is three acres; and this is the estimate of Mir. Burlington for modern good dairy farms in England. In Belgium ten acres of land supports two COWS, one heifer and one yearling calf; but when the calves are sold off young, and COWS in full milk only are kept, the propor- tion k two COWS to seven and one-half acres. Colman estimates three acres ot pasture as requisite for COW ID Berk- shire county, Massachusetts, while m some towns two acres Of pastufsge are sufficient. Mir. Harrington, Tn the report of the American Dairym,n's Associ- atiou. thinks that on an average four acres gre required per COW for summer r and winter keep; while the late Profess sor X. 4. Willard thought that m Herki- mer county, N. l., one aud one-han or two acres of psstuIe per COW would an- sver. and in some exceptional cases one acre. Dr. Tefft, president of the Illinois Dairyman's Association, recently ln- formed the writer that in Illinois, he considered from two and one balf 10 three acres about what would be re- ouired. The doctor Is practical farmer, and is the owner of very fine diary, but his statement seems little wild when we refer to the fact thst Mir. Lord, au Elein dairymsn keeps 100 COWS on BIO acres, besides the horses necessary for tbe farm work, whlle the Oatman Brothers, near Elgin. keep Si cows and the requisite number Of horses to do the farm work on 200 acres. They, how ever. use ensilAge largely in the place ct hay

THE national prohibition convention which will assemble in Pittsburg, on July 8, will be one of the largest tem. pe-anee gatherings ever held in the world. The indications are that there will be over 1000 delegates present, IS ststes having already selected their rep. resentatives and the interest in the con- vention Is increasing every day. The convention will be held in Lafayette hall, place which is associated with advanced political reform, having been the birth place of the republican party. There are many names mentioned, but Clinton B. Fiske of New Jersey for pres ide1t and John Russell, the veteran pro- hibitionist of Michigan for vice-presid- ent, seem to form a very satisfactory combination. Mir. Russell will deliver an address on the evening of July 9. on political prohibition" as a preliminary Of the convention.

SPEAKING OF RLAIsE-

The advent of James G. Blaine at the head of American affairs will evidently create a sensation very similar to that which the sdvent of a Palmerston or Beaconsfeld has been wont to occasion in England after the helm of state had for time been instrusted to a statesman loaded down with promises of internal and domestic reform. Ii has an effect like that which the return of Bismarck to power in Germany might have had fl at any time the helm of state had been withdrawn from him in favor of peace premier. Not merely France, but all Europe see in James c. Blaine the Gam betta of America.
 His advent to the Presidency would be the first occasion in the history of our Nation when the United States would stand toward Europe in the attitude of a frst-class power presided over by a first-class man, with no do- mestic questions to divert his al tention from foreign affairs, and with ambitions propOrtiOnBte to bis opportu- ties. A navy would need to be created, but 1t would be done. Our foreign com merce would need to be restored, but uuder right policies that would come back to us with q whirl tha. would make the heads swim on the shoulders of these who wheedled 1t away from us. A good deal would have to be done in the way of getting ready, but all this would ad- vance wages and improve business. At least this is the view Europe is getting as her statesmen and ionrnnlists lnot int the probable etrreCscOpe of Bialne's administration. Blaine Is unfortunate ID not having all the respect of some Of the political little Miss Elites of Boston and of the BO-tO colony In New York City, who are perpetually running into chancery tO find out when their caSe will be tried. and who can't be made to un- ierstsni that there isn't any case of theirs pending. But the really ex- perieuced chancellors of Europe concede that when Blaine is sworn in business will begiD.-lnter Ocean.
