Says paper that is anxious to have
gambling untrammeled except by license
From all accounts the Jones anti-gam-
bling Act is well nigh dead letter, leaving
Sacramento cut of consideration" The Act
referred TO provides for Furnishing officials
who attempt to license gaming. The quo
tation is therefore a compliment to the
Sacramento officials, and anything but
that to those of any other town or city who
have attempted to license the evil. In
short, it as much as says that such officials
after taking the oath to maintain and en-
force the laws have deliberately periured
themselves. Then follows this statement;
1T is notorious that faro and other banking
games are still carried on in every large
town in the State. At Yreka, recently, a
man gambled away a coach and horses at a
faro game. Similar instances can be found
all over the State" Here's richness for you.
How long ago is it that mud was thrown
al Sacramento from every city, town and
cross roads in the State for permitting
gaming. Now Sacramento stands Us the
model city. But we are told it is to be
only for time: that it is all pretense and
sham, etc. What foul bird il is that soils
its own nest.

BECOMING CIVILIZED.

Later, t5w5ytr, the gold drawn from the soil zss obtained by the blow rather than sr tbe pick. It was an indication of C,.iforuia's permanence when agricul- me attained its true position.
 The history of Arizona is a copy of that of California. Men were drawn .ai;her by the mines, and fer years the Tzrrltory was regarded as barren, ster- Ts country. But gradually farms have ,5rae into being, and Arizona Is rapidly s1rroschiug a condition of civilization. Though there Is much desert land, there sre also vast tracts of country needing nothing but water to convert them into smiling fields.
 Acompauy has been organized to re- claim 8 tract of fully 5000 acres in the Mohawk valley. An irrigation canal Is . be built and water to be taken from .hs G.la river. The land ID question is GEe much of that in other parts ci Arizona, having but the one .s1lt ot dryness.

COL DALEY SETTLES IT.

l. |ay be safely stated as fact that tto veAatious Indian question. which has tsyl found the most difficult among Zsierl problems of proper solution, IS B: last reduced to a plane of such sim J.iclty that one is astonIshed because C.1e- great minds have not before grasp s! ;le situation. The solution, too, is wrought hy one to whom all Arizona heads spontaneously bow in honor and respect, because he dwelt for years Gl2E the hostile savages of the town Of Florence and finished his Indian lore within tae shadows of the United States lsri office in Tucson. It Is now remem- b--ed how he meditatively sat at his Oli'e window for hours at time, and c4-etg..y studied Indian character from S-n Drachman's tobacco siga, and 1t Is sp.easure tp learn that the impressions thus u.ie his mind have borne such t,ulitg. results.
 The Washington Post has covered H. ssf4I over with glory in the publica- ti3a ot B hAlt-column of corres poudence from C. E. Daley, instructins the gov cement how to treat the Indians. He claims to speak with the authority of oae who has lived in an Indian country s1d Is therefore qualified to judge of h. 1.sn character; he has probably pur- chased B few cheap ollss of strolling Papsgos and thereby acquired wisdom u the government of the warlike Apaches. The great secret of his policy lies ID feeding the bloody devils on mercy and tracts; when, in their misguided discretion, they deem 1t wise to shed the blood of s white man, woman or child, he would give them more sugar and cartridges and take away moiety Of their rstiOns of soap as a punishment; If they exhibited a marked degree of anger he would pose in holy attitude before them and bewitchingly smile away their wrath. Indeed, he has an exalted idea Ot the Indian character and speaks of them in glowing terms that, could they be truthfully applied to himself, would render C. l.. Daley not without honor even n his own country.

WHILE France Is in an uprOsr over the defeat of an army on the Chinese frontier, and England in a whirl of ex- citement over the Russian movements toward Afghanistan, the people of the United States are standing with bowed heads awaiting the death of America's greatest soldier. The feeling in France and England is intense and widespread, but how it pales before that profound feeling of anxiety and sorrow that pre- vails all over this reunited country And We doubt not that the announce ment of the death of General Grant would create as profound a sensation in the European capitals as would the death of the greatest European states man. There has been rare pathos ID tine incidents of the last few days of General Grants life. There Is some thing more than that in the attitude of the people toward him in this his day of suffering.-Inter-Ocean.

old rates ot two years ago are demanded and some of our merchants are even con- sidering the advisability of moving in to other and probably less eligible quarters because excessive rents are ex- acted. It Is but a matter of right and lustlce that the property owners should bear portion et the burden of the dull times and reduce rents to a reasonable basis The tenant is generally one who earns his bread by toll, and his wspes are always curtailed when business is slack. His householi expenses cannot be reduced greatly and the only chance for economy lies in reduction of his rent. And it is a mistake. s great mis- take' in a property owner to allow A good tenant to leave because of a slight difference in the value of the roof that covers his head. Let landlords ponder over this subject and they will eyentu- ally gain by adopting the rational policy suggested.

 By the way, Mrs. Astor has become a temperance reformer The grOgginess of some of tte young fellows in society has been disgraceful this season. Scarcely private ball has lacked a group of thor oughly intoxicated guests in the mems dressing room, where custom has made wine and cigars common. On several Oc- casiOns the recumbent forms o' oblivious swells have been left in corners and on sofas. to be cared for by the servants after the departure of the decent guests These things have been an increasing sCandaI.
 Mrs Astor has stepped forward to re- form. She gave ball this week. There were no refreshments solid. liquid. or smoke tO be had in the dressing oOm. In lLc dining hall were as many tiny Japanese tables as there were ladies. The tops barely held plate and wine glass. No servants were on duty except at the buffet, where the viands were diShed and the champagne opened The men were expected to fetch and carry for their part ners This device employed them. com pelled them Co do their drinking under the restraints of feminine resence, and Kept them all measurably sober.

UNITED STATES Attorney General Brewster, before retiring from office
 promulgated the idea that under the law as to the payment of government h. spectors of Customs they were not en- titled to pay by the month, as had been done from the time the country was ID its infancy. The new Secretary of the Treasury, Manning, having looked the matter over, declares that the law did not need any interpretation, but that it was perfectly plain that the Inspectors were not to be paId except for the days they were actually laboring. He there fore issued an order to The collectors at all Custom Houses that the law should be so administered for the present month. The San Francisco Post says the Inspectors were all unaware of the order, but were made forcibly cognizsnt of its application when they drew their pay Tuesday. Under the new rule, if a man IS sick day, or there is not busi- noss enough in the department to keep hun at work, he must lose his time, and with many this amounts to quite a sum IL month. Several of the Inspectors who have been sick for the past month, and expected to get their pay, have been "cinched" to the tune Of Sl25 each.

IHR large canal to convey water for Irrigation upon the Mohawk Valley, IS now being constructed, and a large force Of men are employed thereon. Of i1is great enterprise, the Yuma Sentl- nelsays, There is no finer body of land eElsting, than that contained within the limits of the Mohawk Valley, and the water supply is constant and more than abundant. The soil is a rich aullvlal deposit, varying from twelve to twenty Feet n depth, and under the influence or climate such as ours, all kinds of pro- ducts will thrive wonderfully. It has been demonstrated by actual experi- ment that the Gila valley, of which the Mohawk valley IS a portion, can raise wheat of even a finer quality than that grown in any portion of California, and barley, corn. beans, alfalfa, Arabian ml- !et, grapes, berries, peaches, aprlcots' vegetables and almost all known agncultural products are now being fHlsed. In the gardens of the town or luna can now be gathered, at almost any season of the year, oranges, lemons' ngs, olives, dates, ,pomegranates, cItrons' bahamas, and other products. It will be but comparatively shoit time until the immense tracts of land contained ID the Valleys of the Gils and Colorado rivers, lying above and below Yuma, will De made to blossom like the rose.
