Arizona Affairs.

A Washington special to the Globe
Democrat says: Curtis c. Bean, dele
gate from Arizona, says that the democ-
racy made pretty clean sweep at the
recent election in Arizona, which is
largely due to the well distributed pat
ronage OF the administration and the
extraordinary aggressiveness and enthu-
siasm OF the party leaders, who We're
well equipped with campaign resources.
His own defeat, which Mr.. Bean takes
with the utmost equanimiiy and not
without hope OF better things in 1883, he
ascribes In a great measure to the unu-
sual depression III the silver and the
copper industries and to the fact that
not less than 1900 miners, who were
his strong supporters two years ago, had
left the territory. The Mormon vote
was also strongly against him. Never
theless, he had the fun of an animated
canvass and was everywhere well re-
ceived, though there was more or less
luke-warmness amongst the republicans,
for the reason that they have little or
nothing to hope for from the admins
tra.ion in power. The successful can
didate is Marcus Aurelius Smith, OF
Tombstone, q young lawyer and COM
paratively newcomer in the territory.

Oehorning Cattle.

During the past twelve months the
practice of dehorning cattle has made
considerable progress in the north, and
it is beginning to be recognized esser-
tial to the stuckman's interests. Many
good people objec: to the practice on
general grounds but mainly because M
ure, having given horns, man should
no, mulilate natures work, and because
the operation causes pain to the animal.
Neither of these objections will have
much weight with the practical sto k
man. Without any intention of re-
aecting on the wisdom Of the Creator, i,
has been so long the practice to I'M
prove on nature, with advantage to the
owner of the animal. that the first Oh
lection will be little regarded. The cas-
tra,ion and spaying OF stock and the
docking of the lambs tails, may be
cited in proof Of necessity interfering
with natures handiwork. The ether
objection that the practice is cruel will
have little force when the advantages
are considered. II has been demon
straied beyond doubt that iull
grown animal will suffer less pain IN de-
horning than calf, pig or lamb in cas-
traiion, and it is far from being SO pain
full as branding. The fact is the seat
Of pain is not in the horn, but in the
central sinus Of the head. If the de-
hornlng Is done while he animal is quite
young, it will give no evidence of suf-
iering. Horns are great ornament to
an animal, and SO long as au animal is
only raised for ornament i, should re-
tain them, but when said Animal is re-
CURED tor domestic or commercial pur-
poses horns become an unmitig gated ndis-
ance and source Of danger, and should
be removed. Admitting the beauty to the
horn, We cannot concede any other
point. 1t is no use to the animal except
as a weapon Of defense, and if all ami
mails we're hornless, such a weapon would
net be required. The horn is a con-
slant source Of danger to man and to
beast; remove it and the danger van
isheS Some Of the worst man killing
bulls, after dehorning, became so gentle
and tract ,ble that children could handle
them with safety. The absence OF horns
will permit nearly double the usual
amount of cattle to be kept in given
shed space, as the desire to fight gen.
orally leave with the horns, and cattle will
feed quietly side by side, thus savin
stable space, food and injury to each

Arizona Public Schools.

Through the courtesy OF Z. L. Long,
superintendent OF public instruction,
the Gazette has secured some interesting
data as to the public schools of our ter
ritory, which will appear in the report
of that officer to the governor:
The total number OF children enrolled
in the public schools for the year 1886
is 6,076, against 4,91i for the preceding
year; the average daily attendance is
1907, or an increase of PSI, while the
per centage of school population is 50
against is.
During the present year II new school
districts have been created, making the
total number in the territory 100. Thir-
teen new school houses have been built.
There are % grammar and l25 primary
schools maintained, and the average
number OF days in which schools were
taught is l2i for the year.
There are 81 male teachers employed
against 81 for the previous year, and IS
female teachers, while 81 were employed
in 1SS4-5. OF these 10 are Normal
school graduates, Sc hold first grade
certificates and 63 second grade certifi.
Gates.
The total appropriations for the schools
of the territory for the past year was
but 1864 or about $4,000 less than
for the preceding year. The amount
expended for territorial supervision was
$500, county supervision S5,700ll and
for the Normal school at Tempe
$6,556.60. Teachers received as salaries
$50 $50, the current expenses We're

While the editor Of this paper may be
termed a tenderfoot yet, BY some of his
ancient friends who came to this count ~
when Thumb Butte was ''hele in the
ground" he long since advocated the
storage of water in this manner, and pre-
dicted that not many years would elaPse
before it would be resorted to. The en-
terprise mentioned is the first Of the
kind on large scale, hence its impor-
tance That it will prove success no
one doubts. II will require large out
lay OF capital, but there is NO doubt OF
the wisdom Of the investment and Of the
remuneration which will follow. There
are thousands of acres Of rich pasturage
yet in toe county lying idle and ungrazed
simply through lack Of water, which will
in few years be brought into use in this
manner. The steep and perpendicular
sided box canyons of the mountain sides.
adjacent to them, seem to have been es-
pecially designed by natures great Arch
itect for the purpose Of constructing res
ervoirs for the storage Of water which
can be carried out through pipes to the
rich nutritious grasses Of the valleys. In
other places nature has herself provided
water ways under ground for this purpose
and only invites the enterprise of man
to tap them BY means Of artesian wells
to briag the water to the surface.

Unwarranted Fears.

Some pessimists have already set "
the cry that the salt river valley was in.
clined too much TO fruit culture: that
California was already overstocking the
country SO far as the Pacific coast prod
uct was concerned, and that the devei-
opment in this direction by our farmers
would prove unremnuertive, when the
product reached the importance Of ex-
ceeding the local demand OF the territory.
Such arguments must be considered by
the intelligent as apocryphal and in this
we excerpt from an article
Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1886-12-08
A CAREER OF ROMANCE.

The death of Gsbe Tate brings to
mind the romantic career of his life.
Tate was born and raised in Henderson
county, Kentucky. His father was one
of the prosperous planters Of ante bellum
days. The large tract Of land he owned
was in Walnut bottom, the most product
i've part of that section. He had large
number Of slaves, and, better still, large
bank account Gabe had grown in an
atmosphere Of luxury until luxuries were
common. He had been accustomed to
having his own way and to have every
want supplied. When hts father died
the estate was divided between him and
bis sister, Mrs. DR.. J.. A. Harding. who
had gone to the home of her husband
in Jefferson county, Cow part Of Lou
isville, Kentucky. There he met Miss
Annie Shotwell, the daughter Of Col. A.
L. Shoiweil, man who was rich in
dozen different ways. 1t is seen by this
what oriental grandeur was in the reach
of Gabe Tate and Miss Shotwell, with
their fortunes when united by marriage
at the residence Of Colonel Shotwell in
Louisville. After marriage Mr.. and Mrs.
Tate went to the Shotwell mine, where
the products Of thousand miners sup
pied their wants. For some years they
lived a, the mines, and all went we'll.
Two or more children blessed their
union. Nh. Tate left his home and to
this day the public do not know the
cause. Surmises were plentiful, but no
knowledge Of the cause was ever had.
II was known that his estate was gone,
bit that was Of small importance, for his
wife was rich. Some time after Mr..
Tate left home Mrs. Tate procured d.
vorce, and shortly afterwsrd married
Sam Churchill, prosperous planter who
had lived near the mines, and with
whom she was acquainted during her
married life al the mines. In the mean
time, Andrew Tate, an old bachelor
uncle had died and left his vast estates
to Cabe Tate and bis sister. Hugh
Tate, another bachelor uncle, soon died
and added his fortune 10 that Of his
brother Andrew for the benefit Of his
nephew and niece. Net long after
Miss Nancy Tate died. and
left her increased fortune from her own
right and undivided interests to the es-
taies Of her two brothers, Andrew and
Hugh, to Gabe Tate and his sister
These changes covered period Of nearly
ten years Notwithstanding the fact
that considerable advertising had been
done, nothing could be heard Of Gabe
Tate, and he was supposed to be dead.
At last he was heard from in Cairo, H.,
and found. Arriving home he found
himself rlch man again. He wrote to
his wife to send the children to him at
Evansville, Ind, as be wanted to see
them. She met him there with the
children. Shortly after divorce was
procured from Sam Churchill, the sec
ond husband, and speedily following
that divorce was the marriage of |
Gsbe Tate to the same woman who had
procured divorce from hin years be-
fore.-Ex

The Butte, Montana, Miner presents
a short but forcible plea for the admis-
sion of Montana to the union. At the
late election for delegate to congress in
that territory $1,000 votes were cast AS
the ratio of voters to non-vOters In
America communities IS one to five, the
population of the territory is estimated
at 100, 900. The Miner thinks that as
the basis of representation in congress is
about 10000 population and Mon
tana contains fully 5000 more people
than would enti'le her to Congressman,
the territory should be admitted to the
union and allowed to take her place in
the sisterhoed of states. The appeal is
just one, and could have been made
much stronger. The theory or principle
upon which territories are to be made
states. con,emplates something more
than sufficient population to entitle the
dependency to congressional represen-
tation 1, was never intended that
territory should be deprived Of statehood
beyond the time when it could maintau.
state government, in the matters OF
maintaining order, enforcing the laws.
protecting citizens in their rights, and
bearing the financial burdens of the new
political conditions. Any territory hav-
ing the requisite population emitting it
to representative in congress, and hav-
ing the ability to perform the duties
above indicated, which has been kept
out of the union has been deprived of
her political rights, and made to suffer
wrongs never contemplated in our sys-
tenn Of territorial governments.
