 1t may surprise you to be told. said an old hotel clerk. tO whom 1 had re- marked that probably GarmOyles pres. ence as guest was a good thing for the Brunswick, that the patronage of for eisn a-ist~ cTats is a damage. Fifteen years ago nearly every titled foreigner who came here put up at the Clarendon now demolished That house had for awhile the exclusive favor of such tour ists. It bankrupted its keepers Ten years ago the Brevoort got this run of business and held it until lately: and the proprietor is a bankrupt The Hotel Brunswick succeeded 10 the business of feeding and lodging the aristOcrats, and the concern has been in the hands of a re. ceiver for month. The reason is Cuite simple. The guests demand the very be,t but are not willing to spend money freely enough to make a profit for the landlord In short. they want the fare of Ameri cans without paying as Americans do Their presence has ruined every hotel which has had it in this city.

THE new administration has adopted c policy, in the postal department at least, that Is great step backward. Evidently with a view to make a grsti- lying exhibit on the balance sheet at the end of the current fiscal year. the mail service is being cut down in sparse ly settled districts to almost prohibit ory service. Instead of daily mail to the Quijotoas-a camp that Is rapidly growing in size and importsnce-It has been ordered that twice a week Is about tho extent Of postal consideration they are entitled to under a Democratic sd- ministration. In the old times of Dem- ocratic glory and rule such service would have sufficiently accommodated even larger place than QuIiotoa, but the people of today bre of the intelli- gent and progressive kind that require daily contact with the world about them. Other points, especially in Arizo- ns now have a eurtailed mail service, and their inconvenience in this respect impels belief that it is a questionable economy upon the part of the admins tatIon to oppress the isolated and weak settlements in order to extend greater favors to the already favored ciIies.

furnish us the latter much cheaper than
 we can raise it. We can find a profitable market east for all the fruits and vege- tables We can raise and if we have an excess we haveonly to establish canning factories and go extensively into the canning business. We hope the time may not long be deferred when the Rio Grsnde valley will share with distant California a commerce now well-nigh monopolized by the latter, and which will yield us a surer and larger income than either mining or cattle raising. It IS rather aggravsting to have car loads of California fruit passing right through our territory to eastern markets, while We with our rare natural advantages for fruit raising reap no profit whatever from them"

THE form of the bonds of the county to aid the Calabasas, Tucson and North western railroad has been practically agreed upon by the attorney of the road and the Board of Supervisors. This, to a person who has not given the matter that close and careful study the Board of Supervisors have likely given 1t, seems to be easy Of solution. By the terms of the original agreement the railroad company is required to com plete their portion of the contract aud fulfill the conditions that were sought to be incorporated into the bonds, be- fore the bonds pass into their hands, In other words, all the conditions must have been complied with before the bonds become the property of the rail road company or are negotiable. Under this view the necessity of adding the conditions to the bonds themselves IS not plaIn.

.PKEsIDENT CLEEILASD is a fostering
 thorn in the Democratic side and every
 move he makes produces another twinge
 of torture in the great unwashed. They
 want the spells that they conceive should
 be held ID fee simple by the victor, while
 the President chooses to give them only
 taste; When he uttered his ''offen-
 sive craftsmanship" manifesto, they found an OpportunIty to insert the entering
 wedge of clean sweep; but, as usual,
 they oTerdId the thing. The hue and
 cry of offensive partisanship" as applied to Republican incumbents, became as
 ridiculous as the one to turn the ras- calls out" and possessed about the same
 meaning. The President has the sense
 to see that the interests of the govern
 ment are being we'll cared for by the eI-
 perienced incumbents from the Repub-
 lican ranks, and he knows that to turn
 them out for no other reason than to
 provide employment for a hungry mob
 of Democrats would defeat the possi.
 bility of his making the brilliant record
 that he evidently desires to leave behind
 him-the President of the United
 States, instead of the President of the Democratic party. Besides all this, Mir. Cleveland is met at the very outset by a practical obstacle of insurmountsble proportions in his de- sire to fill the hundreds of thousand of federal offices with capable men from the Democratic ranks. Each individual Democrat seems imbued with the happy conceit that he is the original chosen lamb and that all others are base imita- tionF, and these insinustions manage in some way to reach the proper auricular orifce in Washington. From the crim- nations and recriminstions before his excellency, the President cannot fail to | be impressed with the firm conviction | that precious lot of rascals comprise the class that are seeking his favor, and | that should be consent to turn the rss- calls out" he must turn in a worse lot. | When John Does friends urge bis ap- pointment ss an obscure gsuger, they will invariably make his case a stronger one by lmpressiDg upon the appointing power that bis rivals, Richard Roe ct al., are set of low, drunken blsckguards. of recognition, little dream ing that they have filed similar bill of particulars regarding Mir. Doe. Be- tween such a precious set of incapable loots the President naturally prefers to let the worthy Republican incumbent remain until bis commission expires, by which time he hopes with the aid of Di- ogenes's lantern, to find enough honest men in the Democratic ranks to fill the sppointive offices.

IT is thought that Riel. the Canadian insurgent, will yet secure immunity from conviction through a technicalIty. There is flaw in the indictment, which is looked upon as a stupid blunder. He is charged with being traitor to the Queen while being her subject. Now if he is not subject of Great Britain. but citizen of the United States, he should have been indicted, not under the statute of treason, but under the statute which provides for the punish ment Of foreigners leading war in Can ada.

United States Consul Frank II. Mas.
 on, of MRrseilles, has sent to the
 Department or State q review and
 practical conclusion concerning native
 and Asiatic cholera, and the best meth
 ods of prevention and treatment, de
 rived from studies of the epldemics of
 1884 and proceeding years at Marseilles.

 three days proper, again sudden attack, sometimes while sleeping. In one case vomiting and purgIng, in another nei- ther of these.
 Colonel Mason goes on to say these variations were never SO great or so perpleIing to physicians as last year. He adds: "In lis choice of victims the cholera was most precise and definite. With rare exception they belong to one Of the four following classes of per sons: Those who live under bad hy. gienic conditions in respect to eating, drinking, and exposure; those weakened and debilitsted by alcoholic excess, aud those who suffer from chrome digestive weakness or derangement Among the imprudences which become dangerous in the presence of cholera are overeat- ing to the extent of producir 2 lethargy or indigestion, drinking any liquid so called a5 a check to the process of di- gsstion. eating raw vegetables in the form of salads, and in general the use of raw fruits. unless perfectly fresh and rIpe. The drinking of cold water or beer after having eaten fruit Is direct challenge to cholera which no person however, strong and healthy, can afford to risk. The susceptibility of drunkards To cholera influences Is proven by abundant evidence, among which may be slted the sweeping fatality of the dls- ease wherever 1t attacked the inmates 't lnebriste asylums; anything, n fact, whether of a temporary or of a chronic 1ature, which Impairs the vigor of the organs exposes the person to choleric attack.

The one instrument that comes nearest the voice in it's ability 10 interpret musical expression is not the pialo but the violin The piano after all is 0aly an improved harp. while the violin more nearly initiates the sounds produced by the vocal chords. Heretofore young girls have spent laboriOUs years in learnin- how 10 play the piano. an accomplish ment difficult tO acquire and requiring ia- Cessant practice to retain proficiency.
 But there has been a change lately that threatens to make the violin as popular among women as the piano has been. Tens of thousands of girls are now learn ing how Co finger the bow.

Good For The Dead-Heads,

The Texas Supreme Court recently rendered desislon which will be inter esting to railroad dead-heads. The case was one ID which a Coroner who had been invited by railroad company to ride on a hRnd-car to the scene of an accident, WAS thrown of and injured. He brought suit for damages, but the company demurrsd on the ground that the Coroner was not paying for his ride at the time of the accident. and also that the hsnd-car was not a regular means Of conveyance for passengers. The Su- preme Court held that the question of free riding did not enter into the case at all It held that railroad company IS responsible to every passenger legal ly on the cars, whether be has paid his fare or whether he is travelling free on or by permission of the com psny, or an employe of the company au- thorized to grant such permission.

REV. k. D. MAYO, of Boston, who has
 devoted SIX months in each year, since
 1880. to educational mission work in the
 south says that no Southern State In-
 tends to be governed by negro suffrage, and that result will be prevented by the
 same means that have enabled the An glo-Saxon population everywhere to come ont ahead in the struggle with a race of inferior executive ability. h. dustrially he finds the negro at no disadvantage. A colored family of good habits and intelligence can earn a liv- ing, establish home, educate its chil- iren and lay up something for the flu ture, without prejudice or hindrsnce from white neighbors and will be re- spected by al decent people. The ad- vancement of the colored people now depends mainly upon themselves and their Rptness to avail themselves of the advantages offered them. The recent change of national administration has not affected them; and, outside of the circle of professional office-seekers, the southern people are less engrossed in politics than their northern neighbors, and far more occupied in building up their industrIes, getting a living and for the future.
