The publisher of the Lone Star at Fl Paso says that he will suspend publica- ton. He says Fl Paso is over-crowded with newspapers and intimates that other suspensions will follow. Fl Paso, like San Diego, is town that has too heavily discounted it's future. It has been large city on paper for many years but the ex- pectations of its en,erprising citizens have not yet been realized. It will doubt less become an important place m course of time. At present, however, there seems to be ample population there for the work that is to be performed.

Pugh on silver.

WASHINGTON, Jan. I2.-Pugh called up Beck's resolution and addressed the Senate: Congress was confronted, he said, with an official announcement that our business relations had reached a crisis in which we must suspend the coinage Of silver if we would secure an international ratio between gold and sill yer. The real point involved, Pugh be- lieved, to be not the suspension, but the total stoppage of silver coin, and if sil- yer coinage were suspended now it would be blow that would directly and speedily result in an organized conspira- cy of capitalists to secure absolute con- trol of all our currency and their regula- tion of the volume and consequent pur- chasing power. Pugh believed that he spoke for the southern people when he said that three .fourths of them would to. day if the opportunity were given vote against the proposition to suspend sil- yer coinage. Petitions that came to con- gress favoring suspensions were all on printed blanks and signed mainly by bankers. Pugh criticises the arguments of the secretary of the treasury and of the president. He enquired whether we were to take the dictum of the president on this matter and insisted that the ex- ecutive officers were under obligation to enforce the laws of congress. Why had those laws been hourly violated? Had congress abdicated its powers to the ex- cutive department of the government The national banks who were fiscal agents of the government should not, Pugh thought, have been allowed to be- come members of a clearing house that discredited the silver certificates of the government. The national banks had evaded the law of congress by agreeing that they would not offer silver certif- cates to the clearing house and therefore none had actually been refused by the clearing house. A New York newspaper, he said, had squarely identified the req. son why silver was opposed by the na- tional banks, it was because silver was the only medium of our currency which they could not control. Stop the coin age of silver, said Pugh, and those banks will become absolute monarchs of all the money. Both metals Pngh insisted were necessary in order 10 counteract the constant tendency of money to con- tract under the vast increase of the values of the world.

An excursion party is in the Salt River valley investigating the agricultural re- sources of that section. Were it not for the present Apache outbreak, Arizona would now be experiencing an imimgra. tion boom. Outsiders are beginning to discover that they can get land here, equal to anything in Southern California, at one-tenth of the price. Let the Indian question once be settled and the Terri tory will take start which will astonish the most fervent believers in her wonder ful resources.

 suggested an employer rampant, chas- ing lazy salesman with yardstick; and Mir. Stewart did not speak to him again for month. This anecdote is probably about as authentic as the other, which states that Mir. Stewart, be- ing extremely loquacious at State ban auet at Delmonico's, Mir. Travers silenc- ed him by calling the length of the table, 'Cash!-N. J. Today.
 Agriculture is the basis of the prosper ity of the world. If he who makes two blades of grass grow where only one sprang up before deserves we'll of his country, then Mir. Mitchell Henry, M. P. for Galway County, deserves a statue as public benefactor. On his estate at Kylemore, Connemara, he has planted 'the Caucasian variety of the prickly Comfrey (Synphyt'm aspeertmuna), and from it has already produced this year, by five cuttings, forty tons to the acre, and another cutting is yet to come. This has been grown upon reclaimed peat land, of which millions of acres could be had in Ireland, and is excellent for fattening. Cattle eat it greedily; it is excellent for dairy cows; it fattens pheasants, ducks, and all sorts of fowls, and in feeding them saves two-thirds of the grain that could not otherwise be used.-English paper.
 Others besides Miss Anderson have suffered from the too fervent idolatry of Dublin worshippers. Titiens relates that one night there she played Riena in Weber's "Oberon" for her benefit. But whole evening of tuneful Weber was not enough for the Dublinites. In the middle of the opera the cantatrice had to sing few verses written to the tune of "St. Patrick's Day" by a local poet. This performance aroused the cnthusi- asm and fiattered the vanity of the audi ence. and "The Last Rose of Summer was demanded. Already overtaxed, she bowed and bowed again and shook her head. But the gods were memorable. She was forced to comply. At the end of of the opera, she was dragged, as usual, by a great crowd, as Mary Anderson was, to the Shelbourne Hotel. When she appear ed at the window to bow her thanks, shouts came from hundreds of voices of "The Last Rose" "Gentlemen, I am extremely obliged, but am too tired to sing" spoke the exhausted diva. But all in vain. Her gallant Irish admirers remained shouting Rose until depu- tation of would-be sleepers from the hotel begged her to sing the air for the sake of quiet, and she had to comply.

One difficulty in obtaining speedy

One difficulty in obtaining speedy and effectual settlement of the Indian troubles is the lack of unanimity of opinion among our people as to the best means to be adopted to achieve the de- sired end. A majority of the papers pub lished in the Territory, reAecting the opinions of the inhabitants of the sec tions where they are published, demand the abolition of the San Carlos rescrva- ton and the removal of the Indians from the Territory. The nearer one gets to the reservation, however, the less popu. lar is this proposal, and it will be found that number of large stockmen and others-even those who have suffered losses by the outbreak-are entirely op- posed to such step. It would conflict too seriously with their financial interests. When, in addition to this, it IS considered that there are always a number of inter. ested parties at Washington, who strive to create the impression that the Indians are martyrs, suffering from white perse- cution, it is not all marvellous that the Government finds it somewhat difficult to comprehend the true condition of affairs.

The Neso England Farmer gives the following simple plan for utilizing kitchen heat for evaporating apples: Make 8 frame 24x40 inches out of laths; put piece across the center to strengthen; stretch over the top strong cord once in six inches, and over this nail common screen cloth; hang over the cookstove, high enough to walk under. This frame will hold a large milkpan-ful of sliced apples, and will make one and half pounds of dreo apples in one day. The apple is the best if sliced thin and put up in the morning over 8 hot fire. You would be surprised to see how quick the pa. per bags get filed with nice hght-co,. pred apples
