MR. c. M. STRAUSS, who has recently returned from Washington, expects good things to the country from the new ad- ministration. In the way of federal ap- pointments he says that. although all applicants for position are referred sum- marily to the heads of the proper de- partments, when the time for actual appointment arrives President Cleveland closely scans the whole list and acts solely upon his own judgment. So far he has succeeded in making wise selec- tions, but if this course is pursued throughout the entire catalogue of sp- pointive officers it will be many months before the Presidents personal scrutiny can reach the thirty or forty thousand appointments to be filled before the out of-the-wsy Territory of Arizona is reach sd. While the President may exercise his undOubted prerogstive of appoint ing whom he sees fit. we do not think he will carry out his very lsudable plan of personal examination far beyond the few thousands of the more important positions. The department heads are responsible for the proper exercise of she functions of their respective bureaus and they undoubtedly possess the entire confidence of the executive and their wishes will, in most instances, be resnected The President has abund- ant work of greater importance to look after, and he must relegate such as can be properly committed to them to his Cabinet officers.

As THE whirligig of time brings the official guillotine nearer to the heads O, our friends who must necessarily sue. cumb to the inevitable fate of political revolution, the question of a proper sue cession IS quite an absorbing topic. As part of the body polite our Republi- can friends are equally interested with their opponents in the selection of those persons who shall execute the laws of our country. To be sure We can Iot dic- tate, but we can state our preferences and we have preferences, even among the Democratic candidates arrayed for the numberless positions of appointment. For instance, when our worthy United States Marshal steps aside we hope to see his responsible place occupied by an equally worthy gentleman. There are scores of men ready to assume the du- ties of the position if called upon to do so, and looking down the list we note one name that should not be overlooked ny the Democratic appointing powers that of Thomas Gates. MT. Gates is a thoroughbred Democrat, and he is, nev- erheless, gentleman of integrity and character. He is as much respected by hls political enemies as he is loved by his friends, and when the change must come We trust Mir. Gates may be among the favored ones.

Durable Timber.

The durability of the framed timber of buildings is very considerable. The truSSes of the old part of the roof of the basllic of St. Paul, at Rome, were framed in SIG, and were sound and good in 1s16, a space of nearly q thousand years. These trusses are of fir. The timber work of the external dOmes of the Church of St. Mark. at Venice, is more than s40 years old, and is still in a good state. Alberti observed the gates of cypress to the church of St. Peter. at Rome, to be whole and sound after being up nea ly 600 years. The inner roof of the ch ,pel of St. Nicholas, Kings Lynn, Norfolk, Is of oak, and was constructed upwards of 600 years ago. Dsviller states, as an instance of the durability of fir, that the large dormitory of the JacobinS' convent, al Paris. was executed in fir and lasted 400 wears

THOU SHALT NOT TREAT.

That IS scurious law enacted in Nevada by its last legislature to prohibit "treat. ing. It makes a radical change in the habits of the ordinary western man and actually sbridges what he relieiously conceives to be one of his most sacred rights. The text of the bill is as follows;

SCARCELY a week passes without 6 startling item appearing in the metro, politan journals of the coming to light of lndisputable evidence that some un. fortunate human being had been c cIn. signed to the grave bef-re life had be. come extinct. The imagination can well picture the horrors of a person upon awakening from a trance and finding himself hidden away in the cold earth to undergo the indescribable tortures of such pitiess fate. One can bravely meet death when it comes boldly forth and demands the sacrifice, but wheL i; toys with its victim in the silence of a living tomb his very helplessness will make him tremhle with cowardice and despair. Very many apparently dead persons have been hastily thrust under the sod and left to perish in agony there The process of disinterment shows q startling percentage of restless remains, and this circumstance appeals to human ity to save the living from death m the graSe. The proof of death from diseRse should rest with the unmistakable pro- cess of decomposition and. if possible, the hand of the law should interpose to save possible victim from this barbarous and terrible death.

The Railroad.

Everything indicates an early com mencement of the north and south rail- road which will come through Prescott and thence go south to Phenix. There are great many people interested m the construction of such road. Money Tn the east IS plenty, and seeking invest ment, Seven per cent Is good interest and the sale of bonds will be an easy thing With the subsidy almost anyone talented in railroad affairs will be willing to take hold of this work. We hope some one will enlist m the cause and com mence work immediately. This import ant project once cOnsummated, trains would come Ill laden with coal, coke, merchandise, flour and grain, and bear away m return bullion and fine ores. This would create a revo- luton m all business and make us producing people. Where nothing IS produced dull times must necessarily follow. Railroads make all countries better, and would decidedly improve northern Arizona. Miner.

How News is Obtained.

The Tucson Star furnishes an illus tration of how an item will travel over the country, and finally return to the place of it's birth. Last week the Tue son CITIZEN published the result of an interview with Franklin, Q member of the late legislature. concerning the county court bIlI. The Record republished the interview, giving due credit to the OrTI- ZEN. The Prescott Miner took 1t from the Record, without crediting either the CITIZEN or Record, and the Star finally copied it with credit to the Miner. What the Record would like to know is, why the Star did not copy it from the CITIZEN in the first place, and not wait for it to travel the length of the Terri tory and back, before doing so.-Tomb- stone Record.

FRox Tucson, following the santa Cruz valley for sixty or seventy miles to the southward, there exists a very fert,Ie tract of choice land. a very large portiou of which can be successfully irrigated and brought under cultivation Nearly all this land is now in the pos session of few cattle men and the area under cultivation is limited to very few acres. Should the railroad to Tucson be built it is highly probable that large tracts of these lands will be converted into fruit and agrlcultural lands. The laroe colonies that can find homes ID tb,s delightful valley will not only grow nrosperous, but they will cause large towns to spring up at convenient points and. being directly tributary to Tucson, this city will derive lasting benefit therefrom. Bu. this is not the only ovsilable land for agricultural purposes adiscent 10 Tucson. Large tracts of mesa lands upon which water may be brought through properly directed efforts will eventually be made to oios- som at the hspds of the husosndman and prove to be amoug the greatest of our natural resources.

THE hard times that make their peri oiical visits to our country may be easily accounted for upon a reasonable hypothesis, and, disagreeRble as they
 may seem, they are but the harbingers of prosperity. With peace and plenty
 upon all siles. our ease-loving American ideas of life inspire habits of luxury and indolence that are indnlged at the e1- pense of future income Tn most lD- stance. The producers lay aside the implements of toll and enjoy brief sea- son of gayety and pleasure. The ineI- orable laws governing mankind do not permit idleness and thrift to
 waltz hand ID hand through life, but one must be exercised Rt the ex- pense of the other. The season of lels- ure ends with the necessity of labor and ''hard times" mark this epoch. Sumu- lated by necessity, the sleeves are rolled up and the grand old earth is again made to yield up its bounteous treasures until plenty again brings longing for rest and recreation, and the old scenes are re-enscted and thus It goes: we are slaves for day and kings for an hour: in our bondage dreaming
 of the good times that have flown, and
 in our prosperity laughing at our ms cries that we think are past. Indeed
