SUCH strong remonstrance has been made against the exercise oI executive elemeney towards the class of outlaws sentenced to long terms in the renIten- tisry that the Territorial authorities have determined to use the prerogative of pardon only In cases where great mitigating circumstances are shown to exist and the ends of justice have been fully met. Only few days ago q peti- ton went ID from Maricopa county praying for a pardon for James Larsen, a stage robber. sentenced at the October term of he District Court at Phenix to ten years imprisonment at Yuma. This Pet;tiOn was met by n strong protest from people conversant with the facts in the case, and Governor Van Arman ex- pressed himself as unalierably opposed to granting any clemency to stage rob bers. His action in the matter is highly commendable. The certainty of pun ishment commensurate with the crime committed will prove potent check to the commission Of grave ofTsnses, and compel that class of evil doers to seek other fields in winch to ply their voca- tions

INITIAToEY steps are being taken in this cIiy towards the consummstion of an enterprise of great magnitude that will prove of lasting and Incslculable benefit to the city of Tucson. It has been fully demonstrated that the agricultural pos abilities of the mesa lands adjacent to the city are fully equal to the most favored sections of California, and tie scheme in question contemplates bring ing water upon these now worthless lands for the purpose of irrigation. The plan is feasible and up certain concessions being made the necessary money can be obtained tO accomplish the work. There are many square niles of splendid soil near this city, which. when thus brought under cul- tivation, will blossom like the most favored portion of the world. A little properly directed enterprise will accom- plish wonders in tbis favored land of sunshine.

THs efforts Of the directors of the
 Industrial Exposition at Pherix to pro- mote the industrial interest Of the Ter rtoIy through annual fairs, deserves arrangement. So far they have ac- eonpli'hed much, and crystalized the indefinite -dea into tangible shape. They have acquired land for the build nss to be erected and are laying out a rsos course, and on the 10th of next November the Exposition will be form ally opened. They have obtained special tsyors from the Southern Pacific rail- road company, who have agreed to transport all freight for tue Exposition Iron points in Ar.zona free of charge; EA exhibits from Califcruia and New Mexico at half rates, and round trip passenger tickets between Arizona points at tEO-thlrd rates. Premium lists aFe beinr carefully prepared and a great deal of interest will ceuter in the enter Pnss We trust Pima county will be infly represented with as fine an exhIbi- h0a Of is resources as it merits.

PROMPT ACTION NEEDED

Leading citizens of Tucson presented
 to the Board of Supervisors at it's ses-
 sion last week a petition asking an 3D. preparation out of the county funds to
 aid thls county in making an exhibit at the New Orleans Exposition. The
 board did not reject the petition, but deferred action thereon till the next regular meeting I. @. till the first Mon day m October. Such action in effect defeats the object sought, because all articles exhibited must leave Tucson November lst in order to be received at New Orleans by the last day of grace, viz: November 18th.
 An appropriation made October 9th. would allow the Commissioner only twenty-four days in which to collect the exhibit.
 The position of the signers of the petition Is that "every" citizen m the county should contribute and can best do so through the Board. These sieners say they will not go down into their private pockets on matter which would equally benefit the pon-contributors. We notice such men as Samuel Hughes. Stevens X Hughes, First National Bank. l.. Zeckendorf X Co. J. $. Wood, Hiram ;. Stevens, R. c. Pearson, c. R. Drake. Pedro Aguirre. c. T. Etchells, Don A. Sanford, J. $. Mansfield, R. R. Richard son, Mayor Cronly and E. \. Fish. favor this matter. The opinion of such men Is worthy of attention. They are not lnkeWarm. They decidedly say that Pima county can not afford to let slp such opportunity for advertising this county as this exposition affords.
 We would call the special attention of the Board to the fact that delayed action in this matter IS equivalent to adverse action.
 We are sure that the Board itself re- eoenizes the importance of this exhibit. We are aware that the Board may plead poverty. But the simple enter ing of such plea won't improve our condition. The Board could certainly issue q warrant or bond to cover the l amount required, and the signers of the | petition urge such action at once. The CITIZEN joins in requesting the Board to | take this step for in this way only can Pima county hope to vie with our counties at New Orleans.

MeNieans Declare American Property

 ITombstons RecordI

lTombstons Record
 A state of affairs has arisen at Noga-
 les which threatens serious local trouble
 and is liable to create an international disturbance. As most of our readers are aware, Nogales IS situated in Pima county, on the line of that local branch of the Atkinson, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad known as the Sonora railway, which passes from the American soil of Arizona to the Mexican soil of Sonora The town Is built on both sides of what was always supposed to be the boundary line between the two countries, the American residents building as close to the line as they could and the Mexicans doing likewise upon their side. It should also be remembered that there is a Mexican law in existence prescribing that no foreigners shall own any real es.Hte property within twenty leagues of the boundary line upon the Mexican soil.
 Shortly after the Gadsden purchase in 1851, by which Southern Arizona was acquired by the United States,
 A BOUNDARY SURVEY was made, but insufficlently monu- mented, and frequent controversies have arisen between the citIzsns of the two countries who are residents along that section of the line between the Gulf of California and the Rio Grande, a DOT ton of the boundary where no natural division exists. Consequently a new boundary survey was agreed between the two countries, and the survey party has been on the field for some months past, working eastward from near the mouth of the Colorado river The sur vey has reached NOgales, and places the hne some 600 or 700 yards
 NORTH OF THE LINE, throwing a considerable portion of the American part of the town upon Mexi- can soil. The Mexican law above spoken of, prohibiting the holding of Teal estate by foreigners within twenty leagues of the boundary, comes into effect and these American citizens see their property in fair way to be contis- rated by the Mexican authorities. They declare their determination to hold on to that which they have acquired in good .alth, by force of arms, If necessary. Gen. IOpete, of the Mexican army is on the ground with a force of soldiery of his nation prepared to enforce the demands fA HIS kONGiul4CIh anu American occupants to rellnquish their 
 What makes the situation peculiarly lard and proves the good faith of our 'itizens is the fact that
 AN OLD MONUMENT EXISTS Almost in the center of the town, and he American pOssessOrs of the realty were careful to build north Ot this line. This monument has been partially brown down, but sufficient of it still re- mains 10 indicate its nature and pur- lose, the stones remaining which state he general course and particular angle ghlch the line there takes.
 It IS an instance of such manifest in- ustice to innocent sufferers that we can IOt doubt that our government will take ogniZance of the matter, either by en- OrcIng an adherence to the old lines, or 'ayiDg the dispOssessed Americans for their confscated possess ions.

TIE cities of Eau Clare and Chip pewa Falls, in Wisconsin, have been inundated by an unprecedented rise of water in the rivers which flow through those places. The floods were caused by the heavy rams running from the vast expanse of land from which all the timber has been cut, into the channels. Before the timber was removed no floods were known, as the shaded ground ab- sorbed the larger portion of the water. In our own blessed little city of Tucson no Inundatious by the raging Santa Cruz river are feared. The ancient and honorable pueblo does not take natural ly to water.
