This is not alone tue expression of the CITIZEN. but 1t l- tha expression SO far as We know oi every ci lzan Of Tuc,on. regardless of party. For some days 1t has been knowr that Mr. St-phens Was opro-ed tp hav- ing tle capital removed to Tuc-ou. when Is about the oLly thing We hay, ever asked, and opposed to every oth,T maa-ure tlai in any way promised re lief to Tucson or the tax p ,yers of Pima cDCUfy. IIe reasons be ife ea fer op- posing the removal of the capital to Tucson were SD iidIculouo that no san, man wuuli have lieieaci to them, had he not pu' them m writing. For instance. Le wrote to MT. Mansfield. Chairman u' The Ba lri oi Supervisors, tha, he coulu not supp 'rt the b.ll f1r tue removal or the capital to Tuc-cn. "Hr couli," however secure th, passage of such bill throuy yh the Council any day, but i, order Co do so he would bave 10 suppor lot ol steals such as the Iusane Asy lun biil aud other schemes that would Id, tvo or three hundred th,usaud dollar to the bonded deb, of the Territory,

THE proposed railroad across the des- ert from Suakin to Berber is much the ,ame as a road from Port Isabelle to rhis place, and the distance, 245 miles. is about the same. 4 correspondent of the l. nd Times gives sketch of the to-
 oGraphy of the country, as follows:
 From Suskiu, for some seventy or "ishty miles. as far ss Wady HaratrI ltltude , S69 feet there is gradual ini almost uuiform riss. The road hes rough bare hills aud shallow, some what wooded TsvInes. From this point
 II few miles beyond Arlab (distaut l2O to l30 miles from the seal the gen -ral aspect of the country k that of Uar-
 en. | Vel plairs alternating with low ranges of barren hills aud ~hallow d. files Thence the road into Berber Is over an 'pen, level and barren plaIn. The alti- iute of Berher Is from 1000 to 1,lU0 iret. The main difficulty on this lne Suuli be the water supply. Judging however, from the general character Uf he country. l should expect that the wells ned hardly ever exc cd 200 feet ID depth.

TIE Legislature will complete its work to-day, unless the time is extend ed. Senator LeatherwoOd, and Repre- sentatives Brown, Risley, Franklin, Rol- lins aud Aram, will perhaps return home on Saturday or Sunday next. These gentlemen have made fair repre- sentatives of the people. While they have made some mistakes. their work as a whole will compaIe favorably with that of any former body of men sent from this county and while they have not acc m mulished all their constituents expected of them, the fault was not tLeirs. for on the fiual test they proved true to the people they represent, who will be glad to see them home again, " ere they will find a welcome recep- tion.

That fall of soIt, sticky snow stuck right on top of the rails, warmed little in the noon sun and in the afternoon hardened in the cold. We didn'- get train through until near night that day. The rails were two streaks ol glistening ice. Up near Fulaski We struck a big grade right at station where We were trying to stop. The en- gineer put on the braNes and finally re- verse the lever and pulled the throttle wide open. But 1t was no go. We went down that grade faster than ever l traveied before, with the driving ing wheels of our locomotive going backward. It was a three mile slide. Those who saw us go down say it was the oldest sight they ever saw. don't want any more railroad tobogganing in mine

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND and Cabinet
 seem 10 be appalled, the number of
 applicants for office. It requires nearly
 the entire old Republican force of clerk to made indexes of the Demo- cratic applicants names. What dlsap- appointments th re will be in Washing ton m tue course of a month or two.
 The Democrats will now have to learn
 that tue offices were Lot such big things
 as they thought; moi SO numerous nor
 hAf so easy to get as they expected. A
 posi' tiice, by the present law. can only
 be filed by one man st d time, and the
 dozen or SD appIIcants for each place
 will find that oft before they are a
 month older, and then eleven out of every twelve of these applicants will be mad because they We're not tLe successful ones \ few men have used office as successful stepping stone fo. laying a f'uA fatiDn f5r future success, but most men who accept office, and especially young men, live to regret tue day.
 These little offices winch are only for f"ur years occupy just enough of ones time io prevent him from engaging in anything else, anl a. the salaries are tot Very literal, the ice-hoIder at the end ot his ierm-whether it is four years ar fiI' cen years-is financially abont where he began and all that he has to show for his work is years and an an experieucs that is uttery worthless and units him for any other business. There are two distinct classes of men Tho seek public offire: First come young men who are qualified for the places, who have desire for such life and are satisfied with the emoluments II of' rf. Then comes the vast army of men who have filled certain sphere ID life with passa le s7cscess, as the world allows, bu' in reality who have been failures from the beginning, and finally end n bankruptcy, or very near to it. | And the strongest thing in connection with such chsra-ters Is that they make Use of theIr defci, ncirs ard their fail- | lres as arguments in favor of their ap- pclntment to office, and If they can add | to this good fellow" so that ther friends can make it read a jolly good | .eilow, tut poor" nine times out of ten hey will get the httle interior offices. olch people have nothing to lose and v-Tything to gain. But any young nan of average ability who possesses he least eLergy and perseverance is 7ery foolish to accept any office that IS 70 be filled in Arizona.

and the more SO after Cleveland's silver letter han been addressed to them. He asked no advice from members, but in advance of taking his seat as Presi- dent of the United States be sought to force his ideas upon them. and have them delegate 10 him the powers that are vested in congress. Cleveland seemed to depend upon the Senate entirely for Cabinet timber and advlce, and as a natural T, suit the jeal- ousies of the House are aroused. An other cause for disaffs sctien among Dem ocratic members in the House, is the the appointment of two Cabinet officers from New York, leaving out such men as Thurman, PeIdl-ton, Mcdonald and Palmer. They feel very sore now, aud President Cleveland may find it to his interest to make friends with them be- fore many weeks roll round.

Longevity I'm Horses.

While the aptitude for living to a great age Is undoubtedly inherited, still thls tendency to long living many times shows up in the character Of a spurt, as a single son or daughter from a gwen pair may attain to great age, all other sciOns from the same stock being only moderate long liyerS. AS to longevity, as We ordinarily meet with It, there are physical signs that, fully inspected and estimated at their worth, will always be found to tally with the results.
 The thoroughbred mas a firm structure throughout, clearly the result of trans mission through an agency rendered firm of tissue by continuous and some what severe training, ignoring accumu- latlOn of fat The latter substance in excess, or even apprOach hing this, places the horse, or the person with this pe- culiarity, as though with a sword sus- pended over him by very weak thread. Life is prolonged by such repeated efforts as give VigOr, short of sapplng the vitality, and one ot the agen-Ies through which this Is done Is eurtall- ment of tendency to fatne s.
 We have in trees cOrrOborative evI- dence that firm texture leads to long life. The hardwood trees are consid- cred by naturalists to be long lived in proport on as they grow thick and stout rather than tall Slim plants are, as a rule. delicate and short-lived- We can safely a ply this similitude to the horse, and calculate that the spindling leggy horse wlll not prove hardy or long-lived. Tie firm texture of the flesh and bones of the mule may ue taken as evidence that this concentration of structure may be considered to be associated, ss a rule, with tendency to long life, and it is worth considering how far We can safely depart from the peculiarly referred to.

THE smoke and bluster that attend the last hours of the legislature will not clear away for day or two yet, au, it will be impossible to psss judgement on its work until We learn just where Il left of. There are number of good conscientious men in the LegislAtu', and some who are not creditable even to Arizona. There have been some bill, passed that a prudent executive woul, have declined to sign. and We still hope that Governor Tritle will not overlook some of the worst of this class.

Utility of Microbes

At the last meeting of the French Academy of Sciences Nj. Pasteur read a letter of M Buteau'S on the utility of microbes in the system of -reation, the writer maintaining that vegetation would be impossible in a world in which no microbes existed. In the course of some remarks suggested by the commu- nieation M Pasteur declared that for his own part he believed that life itself would be impossible for animals fed on absolutely pure fOod-that IS, food free from ordinary microbes, and he an- nounced his intention of submitting his theory to the test of practical experi- ment if his other lahOrs allowed him the time necessary for the purpose.

A writer in Science, discussing the sub eet O. ram all in Kansas, finds that, while this has increased 70 per cent. in the eastern part of the state since it's occupation by the white settlers, western Kansas has little increase of rainfall to boast of and little to hope for. He greatly doubts, indeed, whether half of the state, lying outside the i'm mediate track of vapor- laden winds can ever have a rainfall adequate to main tain successful agriculture.
