THE accounts of the great vic tories won by the British over the savages of Africa all come from British headquarters, and mod esty therefore prevents thelr au- thors from telling the whole truth. In one part of the hair. lifting description of the "battle" be- tween Colonel Stewards forces and the Arabs it is stated that ''some of the enemy had guns," an admission which is calculated to increase our admiration for the English army. If all of the plains men had been armed with noth- ing more formidable than spears and clubs the affair would not have been so exciting--to the British.

 THE County Superintendent of Schools ip Cochise county, Judge Peel, has addressed a communica- ton to the Territorial Superin- tendent of Public Instruction, ask ing him to use his influence to have repealed that provision of the school law which compels the set ting apart of ten per cent of the moneys received from the Terri tory as library fund, in the sev- eral districts. He offers as a reason for it that the amount is SO small in most of the districts, in some cases less than g, that it is useless for the purpose intended, and the money could be much better employed by the trustees iu some other more useful direc tion. The suggestion is a good one, and the CLARION hopes that our present Territorial Superin- tendent will recommend the repeal of the law.

TIE action of the dynin

THE action of the dynimiters in trying to blow up the Parliament buildings in London is condemned by the Irish press in the strongest terms we learn by recent cable grams from the other side. One thing Is certain, in the long run nothing will be accomplished by such methods, while the cause these foolish men are trying to aid by their rash acts will suffer by them. The English and Scotch are very bitter against the whole Irish people on account of these recent outrages, and a movement IS being inaugurated all over Britain to discharge and hereafter not employ any Irishmen in any capacity. If there were any hope of reasoning with dynamite fools, if there were any possibility that they could trace the relations of cause and effect or that they could look at any proposition in a sensi ble manner, 1t would be in order to ask them what they expect to accomplish with their dynamite boxes and bombs.

CONSIDERABLE complaint Is made by the Territorial press because the present Legislature does not transact more business. There are a number of things, we are willing to admit, that would be beneficial to public good that could have been done to date that have not been done, but it is apt to be the case with Legislative bodies that sins of omission are of less gravity than sins of com mission. While on the Legis- lative question the CLARION would express the hope that the honor able gentlemen now assembled in Prescott will carefully study the freight and passenger tariff of the Southern Pacific Railroad in this Territory. At the present time the difference in prices paid for labor and certain staple com modities is not much greater in Arizona than in favored portions of the East, but the rate charged per mile for a passenger riding over this corporations railroad is thribble that charged anywhere East of the Rock Mountains. Let the members take hold of the railroad problem in a spirit of fairness, not with the idea of bankrupting the corporation or of e1torting blood money, but with a determination to compel it to carry passengers and freights at rates proportionate to those charged for any other commodity or convenience.

SECRETARY of the Territory Van

SECRETARY of the Territory Van Arinan seems to have been par alyzed by the extraordinary mi leage accounts of the members of the Legislature, now in session at Prescott. The general govern ment pays the members of the Legislature four dollars per day and 15 cents mileage for each mile actually travelled by the nearest route from their place of residence to the capital of the Territory. The Secretary cannot understand why member of the Council, who resides in Prescott, has to travel twelve hundred miles to cross the plaza from his office to the place of meeting of the Legislative As sembly and return. He has re fused to pay the mileage claimed by certain members and has re- ferred the matter to the Interior Department, and, in our opinion very properly. One member of the assembly, who resides in Tucson, claims mileage for six hundred miles, while others demand pay ment for twelve hundred miles or more. 4 Territorial Legislature is mysterious and, indeed, won derful in some of it's proportions. While the per diem of members is four dollars, clerks of committees receive six wtile u cir duties are nominal and their office a sinecure.

THE coldest weather ever e1pe- rienced in the Northwest was at Fort Benton, Molt., in 1880, when the thermometer marked 59 de- grees below zero. Recently the signal service officer on Mount Washington, N. H., reported 50 degrees below zero. By way of contrast, the writer was at Dos Palmes, on the Colorado desert in Southern California, four years ago last July, when the thermom eter recorded 121 degrees above zero in the shade.

So FAR the Worlds Fair at New Orleans has proved a failure, both in display and receipts. It may improve in the spring. but it is at present losing several thousand dollars daily. Aprcpos of this fact it is said that the deficit of the Paris exposition was upward of S6,000,000, and that of Vienna over S9,000,000. The Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia in 1876 was the only affair of that kind since that of London in 1851 that paid expenses We do not believe 1t to be possible for the New Or leans fair to be anything but financial failure. New Orleans is 8 small place, and is located in sparsely settled country; and even the few people in its vicinity are not much given to travel. After all Is said and done, it is local patronage that must make any great fair pay. Foreign visitors, of course, help to swell the re- ceipts, but they must not, by any means, be the main reliance. In New Orleans the foreign visitors must be the main reliance. There fore, we say that the fair must be a great financial failnre. A worlds fair, to be a financial success, should be located in the midst of a population of not less than 10,- 100000 That is to say, this num- Der of persons should be within a short ride of it. We certainly hope not, but we fear that the outcome of the New Orleans far will be very uncomfortable.

The Governor', sressagc.


 The CLARION has received, with
 the compliments of Gov. F. A. Trit- tie, his second biennial message, delivered to the Thirteenth Legislative Assembly on the 18th ultimo. It is an exhaustive review of the material interests of Arizo na, which have steadily advanced, and the Governor says that ''while in some respects the expectations of our citizens may not have been fully realized, we have reason to congratulate ourselves upon the continued prosperity with which the Territory has been blessed; and that while there has been a dimunition of the income from our principal industry during the past twelve months. in the decrease of the bullion product of our mines, the responsibility therefor rests in causes which cannot, to any extent, retard in the future the prosper ous development of our resources"
 The measures recommended to the Legislature for their consider ation are eminently practicable and his suggestions, if favorably re- garded by the law making power, cannot fail to rebound to the good of the Territory. He points out wherein some of the statutes, should be amended, and gives cogent reasons for the same.
 Accompanying his message are reports from the Territorial of ficers, Attorney General, Auditor, Treasurer and Librarian, and also that of Dr. Ainsworth, who was commissioned to visit the private insane asylum of Dr. Clark, at Stockton, Cal, and report upon the physical and mental condition of the patients from Arizona under treatment in that institution.
 As an addenda to his message the Governor makes mention of all of the pardons and communications of sentence granted by him and his reasons therefore, and a list of the acquisitions issued by him for parties charged with crime as we'll as those from the Governors of States and otEer Territories which by him have been honored. The is an official paper which reflects credit upon the Executive and the Territory over which he and closes with thanks to the various United States and Ter officials for their steadfast and hearty support and co opera ton, with the expression of hope that throughout the session for which you are here assembled, our relations will be cordial, not only but socially"

THE New York Sun has a very suggestive way of putting things. For instance, it says what is un doubtedly true, that President Cleveland is very lucky in taking office just as a period of extraor- dinary commercial depression has reached low-water mark. The change of tue tide is at. hand, and the flood of returning prosperity will add to the credit of his ad- ministration. It will tend to make him popular"
