The excuse of the young men for continuin, their sim gle blessedness or single loneliness has been that wives were too expensive luXuries for men sf their limited means.

OFFICIALS MUST BE PURE:

The recent action of President Cleve-
 land, in withholding the commission of
 the newly appointed Consul to Nagasaki,
 is commenable. The appointee had been endorsed by the Colorado politicians,
 who probably io not regard moral char ac.er qualification for official position, and that it is all right for a man to get drund and abuse his wife. However the time had passed when any hummer can get appointed to office. and this case serves as 6 good notice to other appli- cauts for appointment under President Clevcland's administration, that their being ''good fellow" won't go down. The country does not want drunken off, cials, and 1t would be well to have it thoroughly understood that whisky buIu- mcrs and bar-room loafers have nochance whatever in securing an appointment at Washington. The refusal of the President to commission this man, as Consul, is step in the right direction.

A BIG STOCK COUNTRY.

The Te3as Stock Journal estimates that there are still nearly s0,OOO, 900 acres of land in the state available for stock ranges. Much of the land that has been considered desert is being rapidly occuPi ed for grazing purposes, the well borer easily supplying the deficiency in water. With the introduction of thoroughbred stock, which is constantly going on, the pulling of herds, regulation of the increase better facilities for transportation and extensions of farming interests, 1t is diff cult to estimate the stock k-prodrcing capacity of the state. It is said that the ranges already occupied can be made sc support double the number of cattle and sheep. T.xas should have 20, 900, 900 head of stock and 1000, 600 inhsbi tants in 1900.

APPOINTMENTS AND REMOVALS EY PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.

While disappointed office -eekers are be rating President Cleveland for seeming tsrd- mess III removing Federal officials, there are vcry many Democrsis who talk just ibe contrary and commend the President for lis unusual prompt action in parceliDg out efsccs.
 The facts are. that Cleveland is moving with unusual celerity m official appointments He has only been in '.ffice little over two months, and has made a large number of important appointments, and still the work goes btsyely on, and we venture the pre- dic,icn that within one year no important office m the United States will be filled by Republican. The civil service rules can and are easily twisted to suit the eIigencies of ealh particular case when II IS desirable, and the tenure of office act can and IS so construed as to let out any Republican of Ecial before his term expires whenever 1t Is desirable, What is easier than to convict xry Republican official of parfisanship, aud bow ridiculous it is to sappose that a Re publican of.iceholder IS not a partisan II he had not been an active partisan he would noi have held an flee.
 The strength of q political party is m the devotion of its sdhersn;s, and every Demo cratic a.pirant for position in Washington CT out of II bases his claims on services he rendered the party during the late Presi- den:isi campaign
 So far as tl.e Territories are concerned, the President has recently given utterance to the idea that the ad.isory plank in the platform concerning Territorial appoint ments is iInpracticable and must and will be ignored. Cold comfort for local aspirauts to positions in the Territories. We doubt If the new appointees to Federal positions in this Territory will be any improvement on those we have. Territories GU. 70 insig- nIsicant figure in national politics that very little attention will be paid to vapor- ings of Democrats here. especially ss they were unable to elect Democratic Delegate to Congress last fall, and in fact lost their candidate, who went into the campaign as the purrst and best m: that that party could select, and clear majority cf nearly q thousand his favor Al this they lost, and the Republican candidate was elected much :Icabt isst hat any important office 'fn iii Arizona will be led by any person nov residing Tn this Territory.

There is an existing conflict of su thority between the Secretary of Wal and Lieutenant General Sheridan. Lin. coin, prior to his retirement, wrote q letter to Sheridan defining his authority. but notwithstanding, the Secretary view that he was the ranking ot.i.er, sheridan persists in being the proper officer to give direction to army affairs. AS late as the 9th inst. . general order was issued for certain regiments to ex. change stations by June Ist. This order was by command of Lieutenant General It did not contain tle name of the Secretary of War, nor the words with the approval of the Secretary of War" It is understood the President will issue an order snu bhing Sheridan.

GENERAL SHERIDAN, ON PRESCOTT

During his recent visit to Fort Whip pie, General Sheridan, in a conversation regarding the propo sed removal of mill tary headquarters of the department ol Arizona from their present location near Prescott, sta.ed-as his private opinion, on Whipple and is future as an army post-that with railroad connections be tween Prescott and the Atlantic S Pa cifc, 1t would become the most impor- tant strategic point in Northern Ari- zona, as, from it troops could be speedily concentrated in case of emergency on any of the Indian reservations along the line of the A. .s F., and this fact would, with the construction of branch rail road, probably lead to making Whipple an eight or ten company post. Without Q railroad, the General believed the post would be early abandoned, as it could be more cheapIy niaIntained m several more advantageous locations, where it would be more easy of access.

THE CATTLE INTEREST.

Tie idea prevails that cattle are in creasing very rapidly in America, tha. the supply vii soon greatly exceed the demand and much lower prices must be the inevitable result. An examination of the cattle statistics gathered by the Bureau of Agricuiture will disabuse any one of this notion. It appears by these statistics that over large and important areas of the United States the number of cattle are actually decreasing. while the average increase the country over is in much smaller ratio than the increase of population.
 There wis . decrease in the number of cattle between January. 1884, and Jsnu- ary, 1885, in the Eastern States, including New England, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, of l7,lSl head. The decrease in the Southern States, including Texas, vas 9S, Sl4. In the five Western States east of the Mississippi Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wiscon- sin-the increase was less than the loss in the South; or about 90, 900 head. These figures show an actual decrease in the number of cattle in all the states eas, of tbe Mississippi and including Missouri, ArksnaSa, Louisiana and Texas west of that river of nearly 36,000 head, leaving the increose, if any to be confined entirely to the Northwestern States and Terri tories. In the whole of territory where the aggregate cattle number nearly 2O,- O0o, 000 there was an actual loss, while In the States and Territories of the west, where the total is triiie more than one third of that number, there was gain of l ten per cent. In the Pacific States and Territories the gain was insigni6cate, l'eiDg less than the propOrtionate increase in population.
 Some live stock papers are predicting lower prices and whiie there may be teu- porary depression from local causes, ss is iustanced in the present crisis in Texas the result of overstocked ranges and closing of the cattle trail yet tendency of the price ot beef must be steadily up ward.
