OUR Tombstone friends are of the
 opinion that the present condition oi
 affairs there will not continue great
 length of time. Oi course there Is de-
 pression in business and a bad feeling
 there at this time. The dividing line is
 upon the quality of the ore. The super
 intendent5 of the mines contend that
 the rich body of their ore mas been ex-
 hausted and the company cannot afford
 to pay S4 day, 10 work a low grade ore.
 The miners affirm that the ore Is as good, if not better than ever, and that there is no cause for cutting wages down to 8 a day. They maintain that if it ever
 paid the companies to pay S4 day, 1t
 will pay them now. That Is the kernelt in the nut shell. It Is unfortunate not
 only for the miners but for all the in-
 habItanis Of Tombstone. An industry suddenly closes with scarcely warning and throws $50 men out of employment,
 a great majority depending upon their days wages to live; add to this number their wives and children and the picture IS not pleasant one. We do not pre- tend to say what any business man should do. If the ore Is as stated by Messrs. Gage and Church, and that the companies have heen losing mo- ney, it cannot be expected that they will continue work in the mines at the old prices; but there IS the point
 the miners say 1t is not true; if the miners are right, and the companies have arbitrarily reduced wages because they believed they were in condition to stand strike and lower wages, the community generally will condemn them. This section of country is III too isolated position to exercise the power of a corporation that seeks to take the advantage of the situation and compell people to either sell their labor or sell their goods at lower rates than the situation justifies. l very little ont of the ordinary in this country produces | misfortune and serious trouble; ] $50 miners out of employment is not | pleasant spectacle to contemplate. The | have announced tha. | they have closed down for SIX months. The miners cannot stand that stretch of time and they will be compelled to either take g a day or seek other en-. or leave the country. Better compromise. To hold out may prove much more disastrous than to come to m agreement We see that many of he miners are leaving the place llready; every one that leaves weakens he organization; there IS strength in and now is the time for the miners to get in thelr work.

In MCmOFignl,

In the gloaming of the evening yester- day friend read me a letter from an- other friend ia Washington, announcing the death of the aife of a mutual fread General James A. Williamson who passed few happy days here some time ago.
 The writer of the letter, a diztin- guished soldier and stltesuan was inst going out to Oakland cenet ny on the tributaries of the Potomac. where the waters ever flow into the requiem of The Lea; to arrange the bed of eternal re pose.
 The deceased lady was a picture os the Madonna. and cheered the social circles of Washington and the West. where she was reared, with the graces of ; domestic woman.
 In the lonely husband, who is the / gamemn0n of men, the sympathy of every generous heart gushes out like water m wilderness.
 In the omnipotent providence of the Guider the seed is eternal, and as the Ivy clusters around the oak, tbe children cf Gen. Williamson will cling around that s'alwart form and water the mem ory of the dead with the tears of a1,c tlOn. C. D. P

THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY miners, of Tombstone paraded the streets on Mon day, and waited upon superintendents Gage and Church. The miners desired particularly to know, who was responsi- ble for closing the mines. Both gentle men evaded the question by stating that they only obeyed orders from their superiors. The superiutendents insist that the ore is of low grade and will moi justify the company paying S4 day. The miners insist that such is not the case, and proposed to the superintend- ents to appoint committee of miners and go into the mines and make an as- say of the ore. This proposition was declined but the company's books, they said, were open for inspection. The miners said they were not bookkeepers but knew a thing or two about mines. Failing to fix the responsibility of the cause of closing down upon either Nlr. Gage or Mir. Church, the miners left and proceeded to public hall where Judge Swaine and Mr. Summerfeld, citizens, delivered sympathizing speeches. To enliven the occasion three barrels of beer and 1000 cigars were contributed to the occasion by Summerfeld X O. and others.

JUDGE FITZGERALD has had an Un- usual experience in the few weeks he has been on the, bench in Arizona. The first he had to dispose Of was to hang Casey, which he did, that is. did his part of the job The next important event was the trial of Gibson char1ed wltl the murder of Levy. The jury hung not Gibson. but themselves. and there was no help for 1t. This trial 1t is sald broughs ont strange and peculiar twists and turns that were surprising to the oldest practitioner. Then came the report Of the grand jury upon the school house mudile. The condition of things here was not calculated t1 bring down the house, making the welkin ring with shouts of applause; sandwiche l between these important matters were numerous, other "smaIl' affairs. such as perjury, couDterfeiting, larceny, and the like 'inadvertent" violations oi claimed that "never before n his life had he witnessed such efforts at rhis vio- laton (periuryJ of law as he had noticed since occupying this bench" but these have been extraordinary times, and it l. our opinion much more of it than at any time heretofore, since the new order of things began, but it IS a healthy sign to see attempted perjury exposed, and a warning note sent out to those who are to follow that perjury will be dealt with as a crime. and not lightly passed by as matter of little CT no moment. The judge has said from che bench some startling things, which h ye been vari- ously commented uton, but time wIll tell the tale.

Second, parents whose sons were lost in the late war il which the United States have been engaged, if without other means ot support at present than their own manual labor, shali be pen stoned.

IT was a shrewd dodge of Converse in getting jn with his 'enactng clause" to Morrison's tarIfT bill. Converse wanted It to appear that the Demo crat, killed the free trade bill, so that the Democracy could straddle the fence il ths coming campaign, Randall and Converse representing the protectionists and Morrison and Carlisle the free traders taking in the whole si iuation and embra ing the protectiOnists and Tres-trader; but the trick IS too thin; Nor rlson's bill could not pass, and if it did pass the House 1t would go no further It Is all ciap-trap. The rates of tariff will remain as they are and will be modified or increased as the times, conditions and circumstances will admit, so long as Republicans remain n power.

IT is rumored that Tucson is to have another Democratic Iaily newspaper; that there is an aching void right here and the Democracy want to fill it up. Major Barter is supposed to be tine man who can do it, and that Mir. Fred Hughes will be the banker. Politically it is barely possible there is room for another daily, but commercially, social ly, financially it is a mixed question. As a campaign documer. it may be Of use and greatly assist m electing the Republican ticket. IT the Major should embark in this stormy sea of journalism we predict that towering waves will wash something ashore-dead or alive.

SINCE the Uhca convention Edmunds has loomad up pretty large as a Presi- dential candidate. He is no longer Q
 dark horse" but squarely on the track. Arthur is having a little rest. The race Is now the hottest between Edmunds and Blaine-Arthur is third in the race. The New York Tribune claims that Blaine will only lack 5 on the first jump. If Arthur cannot reach home in safety his strength will be turned over to EimUuds. as 1t was in the Utica con- yeation, which gave the four delegates a5 large to Edmunds. The New York Weekly claims that Edmunds can carry New York and that Blaine cannot; that the nomination of Blaine at Chicago will bring the same hot, bit ter. selfish fight that occurred there in 1880, with the result of naming a man yet unnamed.

THE ground upon which Judge Poland, of Vermont, and others Of the House Judiciary committee opposed womon's suffrage is very clearl! stated in his (Poland's) report. He said:
 "rhe office and duty which nature de- volved upon woman during all the active and vigorous portion of her life would often render 1t impossible and still more indelicale, for her to appear and act Tn caucusses, conventions or elections, or to act as member of the legislature, or as juror or judge. 1 cannot bring my self to believe that any large portion of the intelligent women of thls country desire any such thing granted, or they would perform any such duties if chance offered them"

 WASHINGTON TERRITORY in 1876 and loSO gave her two delegates to Blame, and has done so now for the third tIme Arizona did the same thing iu 1876 and loS0. She has not been heard from this tune. It may be assumed, however, that she will not fall out of line unless the administration influence Is too great for her people.
 The above IS from the San Francisco Bulletin. The Bulletin does not keep up with news of the day. The delegates rom Arizona while not directly instructed, are Blaine men. The delc- gate convention adopted a strong Blaine resolution. The administration in- huence was not psrceptIble in the con test. h fact there was no contest. 4 large majority of the Republicans in Arizona are for Blaine.

After several months Of anxious eXpcctan-
cy the people of Ottawa may congratulate
themselves that the new flint glass works of
Messrs. de La Chapcllc " Co. will surely be
built here within the next four months, II
win he remembered that Mr Chappelc pur-
chased a block Of land Immediately west of
the window glass factory some time last
spring; but since that time until within few
days no active preparations had been made
apparently TO build the proposed works How
ever, the firm Were not idle, and their prelim
mary work looking toward their establish
ment in the great and prosperous west has
been accomplished. Their investigation as to
the advantages of Ottawa rs manufacturing
point seem to have proven perfectly satisfac-
tory. Indeed, ii must have been fattering,
for instead Of building one furnace factory
| they have determined to put in two furnaces.
Early this week Mr.. Chappele again visited
! Ottawa and remained until Wednesday. Be.
| fore leaving he entered into contract with
Sanders Bros for the erection of brick and
stone building, 100 by POO feet on the ground,
surmouuted by tin roof Two furnaces, as
stated, will be built within the works, with all
the necessary appurtenances, the grounds
fenced, and everything put in readiness for
setting the pots and starting the fires by May
1st If possible. This will be done by the con-
tractors if the winter will admit of out door
work
The firm will manufacture the indestruct
iblc lamp chimncys, for which they have the
exclusive manufacturing rights of the United
States. They bring with them their own
skilled workmen but will give employment to
large number of men and boys besides
The establishment of these works in Otta-
wa should and will no doubt give new I'M
petus to our manufacturing industries.
