TIE CmlNESE QUESTION.

On Sunday evening Rev. N. L. Guth-
 rie preached discourse on the subject
 of the expulsion of the Chinese, at the
 Marina Street Church, in which he in cllned very strongly 10 the eastern idea,
 in regard to the Chinese question. We doubt if there were two persons in the
 audience who entertained the same views expressed by him In his opening re-
 marks he assumed that the opposition to ihe Chinese was from the vicious class alone. This IS a mistake. The question
 was submitted to vote of the citizens of California only few years ago, and ln the entire vote of the state only a few over 500 was in favor of them. The ia ,ha. the blatant O'Donnell or the rattle braIned Kearney, of San Francisco, harangue crowds on this subject, in Ian guage unfit to be heard, does not prove iha, they and their followers are alone on this subject. The fact is that the deter mined, active opposition comes iron. the better class of citizens. In the course or his sermon NIT. Guthrie referred to the peaceful convention of unemployed mechanics and laborers in London ap- pealing for bread or work until influenced by anarchists 10 engage in wanton des- truction of life and property, but seemed :c overlook the fact that the same con- dition of affairs, 10 certain extent pre- vailed in this country, where men exper- ierce want for the common necessaries of life, and a, the same time see an alien race grow sleek and fat from the result of labor taken from them.
 All talk about chTistianizing the Chi nese in ,hls country IS the merest bosh, as any lntelligen, man who has lived among them will testify.
 Reference vas made to the dangers arising from Ill treatment of the race on account of the superiority III numbers Of the citizens of the Chinese Empire, but nothing was sad of the dangers arising from their unlimited immigration here. China, with her five hundred million could, ia fe~ years, send double the amount of the present popu- ation of the United States tp our shores and no, miss them. Self preservation, IS well as ;he immediate protection Of 0u, mechanics and laborers demand that further immigration, at least, shall be o,ally prohibited, if no, the expulsion of hose already here.

The following beautiful sentlr

The following beautiful sentiments were recently published in the Tucson Citizen; "How very magnanimous it is in mankind to speak nothing ill of the dead. The harsh covering of the cold earth IS the soft mantle of warm charity that stills the venomus tongue of m dice against the one whose eternal sleep has begun. But if mankind could only be prevailed upon to extend little of this beautiful charity to the living, what happy world this would be. Calumny cannot harm the dead but it is death to the living. The dead have no need of cheering words of praise and kindness. out such little tokens of regard open fountain of infinite joy to the living. We lavish upon mouldering inanimation that which is like the precious sunshine of heaven to the yearaing soul of the living and stsrve ourselves to feed the clay with the love that is like the purity of the angels! It IS so strange that it should be so, when the world would be much bet ter and happier were it otherwise.

DEnoCnAraC METHODS.

Speaking of the Cincinnati election frauds, the Chicago Inter-Ooean says:
 "Every turn of the legislature investi- gating auger strikes a new vein of oil. John Tosney, a democratic judge in Precinct A, Ward {, was examined. He sad the tickets were all taken out of the box, sorted. and arranged on a table The table vas small, there not being room enough for the tickets. Some 200 of them were put under the ballotbox. They were not discovered until the foot ing had been made up. The footings were 726 democratic votes When Brunmagen found the 200 under the box, one of the clerks changed the : and put an Co" over 1t, and that is how 726 was changed to oa6. This confesses the forgery for the first time. Tssney said the signatures were no, made to the poll books by each one of the judges. Ennis said some one signed all the re-
 urns for him.
 The boss sensation was the following testimony of ex-Policeman Evans this afternoon. Said he: 'I was at the voting place of F precinct, Ward o,the night of he election, and took charge of the ballot boxes. Before got upstairs with he ballot box some one hallooed for me taying that was wanted at the Enquire
 ce immediately. 1 answered l wou go as soon as l took the box up. l did so, and upon arriving at the Enquirer ofhce I vent through Roe's room and knocked at the inside door.
 "Colonel Morton L. Hawkins came to the door and said, 'How are you getting along|
 "We are beat there and everywhere else, said I.
 "Is i, too late to get the matter fixed upF said Mir. Hawkins.
 "I said, It is, without any tickets"
 "Mr. Hawkins went back into the room, and some one else said, Don't let them carry that precinct l don't know who said that NIT. Hawkins soon came back to the door with 200 Demo cratic tickets, and told me to give them to a man who would call tor them at the polls of Ward Nine, precinct F, and when got there they had counted only five or six tickets. l got the Republican iudge's attention attractedtoone side. Bill Jordan went to Maxwell, the republican clerk, who is also clerk at the Palace Hotel, and got hIm to make an order for some cigars While the republican judge and clerk were thus engaged gave the tickets to stranger there who mo,ioned for them. He showed the genuine tickets to one side and dropped the tickets I got from the Enquirer office on the table in their place. The stranger then took a large number of genuine tickets out of the ballot box and gave them to me, and l put them in another room. destroyed them then went back where they were counting the votes. The tickets brought from the Enquirer office were courted, but only sufficient tickets were taken from the ballot box to tally with the dial on this box. There were several uncounted tickets remain ing in the box after the count was over.'

The interest now being taken m the vsriou, canal and irrigating projects m arizona is evidence that the agricultural advantages of our wonderful land are beginning to be recognized and the foundation of our lasting prosperity lad. The area of land capable of being brought under cultivation in southern Arizona IS far greater than even our own people have supposed. When the canals along the Salt river were constructed It was the general belief that they would reach nearly, if not quite all the tillabie land near the course of the rivers, but while they have brought many thousands of acres in successful cultivation they constitute but a small fraction of the possibilltie. in this portion of the Terri tory.
 All along the several streams the same reclamation is even now fo.eshadowsd and within a very few years we expect to witness the magical growth of green fields and fruitful orchards covering the broad mesa to the sou,hward of the Gila and along the Southern Pacific railroad from Tucson far 70 the westward. The Saata Cruz valley too, is a ripe field for enterprise in this direction. From the source of the river, on Mexican soil, down through its entire course until 1t reaches the Gila below Phenix, its waters can be made to dc service in irrigating great fields and orchards, and where the herds of cattle now roam there will exist fiourishlng colonies and thousands of happy hOmnS
 We have too long been taught to look upon our mining industry as the chief resource of the Territory. and the cattle interests have also obscured what will prove to be our greatest source of wealth. People who know Arizona as only desert country will laugh at the idea that it can be made an agricultural country, but the future will prove that its so-called dererts can be made to blossom as the rose. Its advanced seasons give it great advantage ever every other portion of the United States, and our products will reach markets at tune when the prices are at their highest point. Our seasons are long and several crops can be grown during the year, giving the farmer his choice of time for marketing his products In looking over the future possibilities of Arizona in this direction. we can see only the brightest hopes of the most won derful prosperity.-Ci,izen.

ARE THE RAsCALs IN OR QUIT

It is daily becoming more and more evident that the democratic telephone ring is of the greatest magnitude. The published list of promoters includes not only Attorney General Garland, Senator Harris and Vest, Commissioner Joe Johnson and Atkins, with three ex>con- gressmen, as originally published, but the names -ef Senator Sorman, cx-G -Gougrcss- men Henkle and Hunion and ten other leading democrats.
 Right on top of the telephone expos ure comes the charge tha. land frauds have been committed Tn Utah whose full exposure will ''ill all the jails of Utah with officials and ex-cfhcials, and which involves many congressman, mostly democratic"
 The dishearsening feature of such ex- posures as these is the apathy of the democratic press in deaouncing the rings and frauds in their swn party. For years they have talked about Landau let' Williams. 'Secorr Robeson, "Star Route swlndies, and the like, forgetting that in every instan,e the ''rascals' have been turned out by the efforts of the republicans who were Tn power. They forget still more that t was the discon- tent of honest republicans with the con- duct of rogues ~ho got rnto high places winch made democratic president pos siblc.
 The American people are earnest in their desire for purity in the Federal administration. IL $ much 10 them that democratic president is in power, but party politics are as nothing as comparet with personal purity, and the people and press demand that the rascals shall be turned out, whether they are republicans O. democrats If any republican sena- ioF ;s corrupt. as the dispatches state, let alsn bc turned cut. The party will be better iot ;he purglng from its member ship c: unworthy men. Ii democratic attorney general has gone into stock speculation and he or any other official IS usins lis place to further his own interest. le; both democrats and ,epub- asans who are honest unite m asking for sn Investigation and ,ha; the .asca,s shall be turned out.-Philadelphia News.

An Iron Man.

George W. Monks, the 'TIron man, as he was called, is dying at last. having carried bullet in his braln for nearly twenty three years. At the battle of Characteristic. May 5, 1863, a mus ket ball struck him in the head, entering the right parietal bone and dropping in to the skull to the base of the brain where it lodged. Death usually ensues within seven days, from such a wound, but Monks has lived, his right side par alyzed and his nervous system broken, but still alive.

A PaoPEs SUBJECT vss lxeUlRY


 A resolution has been introduced in the United States Senate by Senator Manderson, directing the secretaries of state and war to inquire and report to the senate, the facts surrounding the killing of Captain Emmet Crawford, said to have been slain on or about January To, 1886, by Mexican troops, and to re- port what steps were being taken for the punishment by the Mexican government of those guilty of the alleged outrage. Also, whether reparation and indemnity should not be made to those who suffered and ample explanation and apology te be given to the United States for the apparently gross insult.
 In offering the resolution Senator Man derson said it was due to the United States, not less than to the relatives of the deceased, that inquiry should be made as to the killing of Capt. Crawford. Senator Manderson read the official re- port of Lieut.. Maus on the subject, and maintained that if facts were there cor rectly set forth, they constitute very severe reflection on the Mexican troops. Senator Manderson paid high tribute to the courage and high soldiery devo- ton of Captain Crawford, and dwelt severely on the course pursued by the MexicanS He expressed hope that the United States would compel reparation if necessary, by force. from the Mexican government in case that government should prove to be in any way responsi- ble for the conduct of its troops in this instance.

Lieut. Maus missed the opportunity of his life time, in not promptly avenging the wanton and deliberate murder of Captain Crawford on the spot. The command under him was sufficient to have accomplished the end and with all accounts to hand concerning the affair, the circumstances certainly justified such action
