Chnnae Rnined.

4 nd of Senator Chaffee, who IS Tn Wa Ains son, says Chatfee was one or me greatest sufferers by the failure of Grant & Warl. He lost every cent Of hls available resources. Last year he con sidered himself worth nearly S3CCO,OCO, of which S2,OO00O0 was in Colorado properties which have since greatly depreciated and are not now market able.
 At the time of the marriage of his daughter with Buck Grant he had S1,OC0,OO0 in cash securities. When hls daughter married he gave her SiOO,OOO in bonds. These were all put into the firm of Grant < Ward, and every dollar of them is lost. ChafIee himself, m street sueculations during the past wear. lost slOO,OOO. 4 month o- six weeks ago he had SjO0OO0 in cash securities. Just before he made his last visit west he took thls money and gave 1t to his sOn-in-Iaw to Keep for him during his absence. It was not for investment nor was It for the purpose of securing any investments. It was simply deposited with young Grant as a trust during the brief absence of the ex-senator. This money Tn some way reached the hands of Ward and was lost.
 ChafTee is practically penniless and ID a most wretched state of mind- This friend of ChaiEee says 1t is by no means believed that Ward could have lost the large sums charged up to this failure. He believes S2,0O0O00 would cover the legitimate losses of the firm, and hlnts directly at very scandalOus develop ments which will result from rigid in vestigation of what Ward has done with the money.

THE Democratic journals of the Ter
 ritory just at this time seem to be labor
 ing to convince the Democracy of the necessity of hunting up honest and Iu- telligent men for nomination this fall. The effort carries with It doubt in inc minds of the public whether such men have heretofore received such nomina- tions; also the fear that such men csn not be found. We, hOwevei, do not feel that way. There are intelligent and honest men in the Democratic party, but as rule they do not want office. and we presume that Is why so much IS being said by the Democratic journals at this time. These papers are on the right tact, and are doing valisnt service in that direction, but if they expect to revOlutionize their party ct one "feli swoop" We fear they are counting chickens before the matching. The nen who live upon politics or what they can get out of 1t; the striker, the wire-puller, the political hummer, get ia their work at the primaries and laugh at the other fellows when the nominations are oves; however. it is not our wish to discourage our Democratic brother editors in their good work. We say keep it up, and may be If yon succeed in electing man to office he may be such a man as you are now seeking to nominate.

THE price of any article is largely controlled by the supply and the de- mand, and just now money is scarce and hard to procure, and the demand is largely increased since the failure of Hudson < Go. This accounts, of course. for the per cent demanded for money at the bank, and anything above that that private parties can get. In the matter of security there is more caution exercised-caution to exclusion in many instances. It may be said that money lenders are taking advantage of the ne cessity of the people, and that this high rate of interest and double gilt edge se- curity Is working harm. Men who deal m money of course propose to get cut Of 1t all they can; and such times as these are the brokers and money lend CTS golden" opportunity. But is 1t fair to take this advantage? Such high rate of interest no business man can af- ford to pay; he IS losing when he does, and If 1t continues any length Of time he must go to the wall. The rate Is too nigh, and We appeal to our moneyed men not to take this advantage of the situation. It may last some little time. and 1t will work great hardship to our people who are struggling to make ends meet.

What the Indian Needs.

Tine secretary of the interior on being recently asked by the supennte udent of the Indian school at Genoa, Nebraska. for authority to purchase girls shoes at s pair, writes that he cannot comply with the request. He says that the or dinary shoe costs 74 cents and tha: no doubt this is the kind worn by thousand of farmers daughters to-day. The sec retary further says that he does not con slder bo" k knowledge the main object of an Indian chIld's atteadance at school If he IS taught to clOthe and feed hIm- self without the assistance of others, he Is at least partially educated, whether he can read or not. Care of the body i- .he first requirement. to the attainment of cIvIliZati n, and 1t Is useless tn give a scholastic education, unless he has alsO ability to supply phy sical wants.
 If either are to be neglected. # should be the literary studies aud not the mau- ual labor exercises. It IS much pref-f- able tO know that he eau pl ush, SOW aud harvest than that he has made great literary atiainments. The secretary further suggested that they have as li'- tie as possible to do with farm m chInery. When the Indian boy Y, e. back tO the reservation he will have tD do hIs work by hand. He advises also that the girls toe taught tO milk and do all kinds of household work.

THERE is great anxiety to know the | outcome of the Quijotoas. Hundreds, l perhaps thousands, of people have veh- tured, directly and indirectly, every dol lar they possess in hopes of realizing a fortune, or if not go much, compe- tency or livelihood For six mouths this anxiety has been prevalent; many have been unable % hold cut and have given it up, but the large majority are here and there waiting developments. There is 10 mine anywhere which gives such wonderful evidences of great rich Eess. The b0nanza company have gone to work to develop the mine in the full est sense-not prospecting, but going straight for the ore body Their man. ner Of doing this consumes much more time than any ether plan that might have been adopted, but 1t is more effec- tUal, more durable: when they strike the main body of ore there will b. no longer room for eculation Men from l interest, and who have had experience in mining, say it is wonderful mine.
 True, here and there comes along a maa who says harsh things about the mines, but as rule tbe man has tried and lost and IS sore over the loss, tut the men who are in the | r,eiffo,, fn lp,vr ..,- s..-.;t ,.-, all r;..b,. l can't tell you more, but you wait; it's all right" If the camp turns out to be one-half so great as we are all led to beheve IL will be one of the most
 wonderful miLes in existence to-day. We are promiseI that very shortly We
 will hear good news, which means tha;
 the prospect is favorable for striking the
 ledge of ore very early m the future
 We are tuld that the owners of the
 bonanza mines are 10 take their .na- | chInery down at their mines in Nevada and ship it to the Quiiotoas, and that very soon a large number of men will be employed. The water question has
 been solved. So far, nothing has failed
 and It will not be long when the good news will 6e given to the world. It Is thought by many that the mine owners know more now than they will tell. Why, no one can give reasonable answer; except they choose to keep stlll until further devevelopments. It is a recognized fact that boom, backed by solid silver, within a few weeks or months would be of incalcu- liable benefit to this section of country. We have sustained reverses in trade and general commerce to such an extent within the last year, that it would be relief m all ways. It is surprising how well Tucson stands up under these heavy blows; bat it is a fact that can not be disputed, If it cannot be ex- plained, and amidst it all her people are cheerful and prosperous and improve ments and enterpuses-go along at rapid l strides. The stability of the town has been tried to the uttermost and it must be said she has not waverei-here and there prop fen out, but it Was instant ly replaced. These reverses and loses prove that Tucson Is firmly seated and will became one of the largest and richest towns ia ali this section of eoun- try.

Blaine Is said to lack only a few votes to be nominated on the firs1 ballot; Ar thurs friends claim equsI chances with Blaine on the first ballot IL Is said that Arthur and Edmun6s will join teams in favor If Elmuuds, which viii give Edmunds the . imitation. Ina, there has been spontaneous uprising of Republicans all over t1e Northern States Is evidenced by the action of the late conventions. Arthut's stronghold Is in the South, from whence comes no electoral vote.

VANDERBILT heard the Wall street news upon his arrival In London. and the 1.-two hundred fold millionaire'' thought it might be necessary for him to return immediately; however, We think the panic was managed very well in his absence. and the few millions he may have missed and some other fellow got, Keene for instance, was just us well. Vanderbilt may grieve over the lost opportunity to push some fellow to the wall who had, sometime, crossed his path, but he should console himself hobnobbng with the nobility.

HIS Is a great country. The people one day can become panic stricken over the bank failure, and the loss of mauy millions of dollars and in three day'7 time everything seems to run along as smoothly as if nothing had occurred to disturb their equanimity. It is good way. Why, look et our own case: A few days ago and the whole town was agog with the news of the failure of Hudson 6 Co. and there were strong and bitter feelings manifested and the excitement was at fever heat; but to-day it IS as calm as a cloudless sky and the people only occasionally speak of the affair. It is one of the things of the past They accept the situation and move on.

HE season Tn Arizona this spring has
 been quite different from seasons here
 tofore Tn the memory of man. There
 has been large rain fall iu plain and
 mountain. This rain has been general.
 IL has been to the extent of flcois. io-
 ing great damage to railroad property.
 In consequence of SO much rain the weather has been unusually cool and to
 many uncomfortably SO, and in ccuse- quence there has been more suffering
 with colds and malaria. Some are of the opinion that the seasons are chang ing from the dry, arid climate 10 a cooler and damper climate; if SO, 1t solves tbe question of water for vegetation to some extent at least. This spring barley has been grown and matured in tue Santa Cruz bottom with but one irrigatiop: other cereals the same. Grain has been grown and matured on tbe prairie with out irrigation. Tins proves that the land Is rich and will produce abundantiy. More attention should be paid 10 agriculture. The few Americans who are engaged in 1t, are succeeding beyond their expecta- ton. There are miles and miles of rich land along the Santa Cruz that ought to be under cultivation and which would go further towards enriching the county and making a happy and prosperous people than any one pursuit that can be named. Home products produce wealth Everything can be grown here tha. grows in California, and why not grow 1t! It IS no longer an experiment but n I fact, aud If some of our people would | turn their attention to cultivatiug this | land IL would be the means of building mp and populsting tine county more than anything that can be done.

TUESDAY night q large number of bus mess men of New York met iu couven- ti-n, and the speakers talked for Arthur for second term. Henry Ward Beecher was among the speakers. \ number oi leading men Cf Chicago, opposed to L1- gan, sent telegram to the convention a?. rowing the obiest of the meeting. etc. or course, one great object Is to start a boom for the President. It k true that merchants and capitalists in large cities are for Arthur, apun the plea that if be Is the next President commerce and firauce will be undis- turbed.

The WaShOutS

The Albuquerque Journal of last Fri day says: The AtchisOn, Topeka & San ie Fe company now have their handS full of work with quite a bad washout down near SOc0rrO. The washout is said to have been caused by the river choking up with driftwoOd, and this forming sort of a dam threw the water over the railroad track and carried away the embankment. Construction trains were immediately sent to the scene of the trouble, SO that last evening the road was Tn condition to forward their own passengers. During the trouble all through passengers have been trans ferred here to the Atlantic S Pacific, and only those who were destined for south ern New MexIco and Arizona were obliged to remain here. A rumor that the Isleta railroad bridge was in great danger, and that a construction train had been dispatched to that point, it is hard ly necessary to say, Is untrue, and no anxiety Tn that direction is shown by the railroad company.
