A very we'll informed gentleman to-day sincerely declares, on his return from a trip east, that there is not over an aver age of one-third of the grown men and women of the east (east of the Missis- sippi river) who know where Arizona is, and at least one-half of that number who do not know that there is such a place at all. It strikes us that there is, under these circumstances, a great deal of use for our immigration commissioner, not withstanding the fact that Tom Parrish classes him with the public schools of the territory as useless expenditure. .-Phe- nix Herald.

Buckshot Fosters Son.

MIR. Arnold Foster, son OF "Bucksbot,n
has just written letter about the utter de-
pravi!y of the Irish home rule party, which
is published in the New York Tribune. The
communication is pretty badly mixed by the
author or compositor, but there Is sufficient
cohesion about II TO show that Mr.. Foster is
very di5ingenuous, not to say untruthful
The writer says, inter ALA, "Ireland is now
the freest country In the world. She has
every liberty granted to England, and q
license which is wholly forbidden TO Eng
lishmen." Pursuing this line of thought as
rlmorselessly as his fathers magistrates
and police officers hunted the starving and
homeless peasantry Of Donegal and Kerry
the writer accuses Parnells party OF
high crimes and mIsdemeanors. II is
unnecessary 10 follow his vicious
TRADE, but II is interesting TO observe
the striking, though involuntary, commeut
made by the Tribune IN a dispatch which
appears in the very same column that con-
talns Mr., Fosters indictment. 1t lsheaded
"Eyictiors Of Irish People," and runs thus;
"DublIn, Aug. 22.--Tho eylctions at
Gweedore, in the district Of Donegal, have
been concluded The total amount of the
rents concerned does not exceed ESQ yearly.
There were one hundred aud fifty police
men and bailifrs and sixty cars and boats
engaged for eleven days in the proceedings,
at a cost Of 800 day. The scenes wcre
pdifd, Tie people being stepped ia Poverty,"
While such scenes represent the order of
the day can Mr., Foster pretend to say with
any truth that "Ireland is now the freest
country in the world ?"
But, 10 renew the unutterable story, we
quote again from dispatch in yesterdays
papers. "DublIn, Aug. 23,-sIxty tenants,
who had been evicted from their homes on

A. NJ. GIBsoN has contributed to the New
York World very interesting statement
touching the relations of Mr.. Tildcn to the
administration. II the facts are not as
stated Mr. Manning can readily correct Mr.
Gibson
At the request Of Mr.. Manning Mr. Tildcn
wrote for the Presidents message his views on
the urgent necessity 'Or coast dofcnses. The
Sage + G'cy.tone was ny his tim, convinced
that the adn inistratlon was not broad enough
to accept n comprehensive policy, and he
knew that II had neither the capacity nor the
strength to carry such n one into execution.
lie trusted, however, the utter defcnselcssncss
of our long line Of coasts, and the helplessness
to which we were reduced In consequence
thereof, could be impressed upon the President
and his advisers. The time was auspiclous
for the great undertaking. II was not only
patriotic work, but, from party standpoint n
wise one. 1t could never be done cheaper IL
twas inaugurated 1t would, in the course OF
years, be carried TO completion, and per-
hnps. in time for the cxlgoncics which he
clearly fOreSaw must sooner or later arise.
Therefore, when Mr. Manning urged him to
write something for the Presidents annual
message he did so, and dealt with the urgent
necessity for coast defenses The President,
after considering the matter, declined to use 1t,
and Mr.. Manning so notified Mr. Tildon.
whereupon the latter changed the opening
paragraph and added closing paragraph, and
addressed the letter to Speaker Carlisle. II
was given to the Associated Press, and was
published the day before the Presidents mes
sage. No former utterance Of Mr.. Tildon 70
cciyed such an immediate, spontaneous, ant
| complete Endorsement from the whole people
and press rs this letter on coast defensts did
Republicans aud Democrats alike praised it a
| timely, wise, and patriotic.
The New York sun, reproducing thu
| above extract, says:
We are forced to the conclusion that Mr.
| Gibson must be mistaken. His statement rest
| on his own authority alone, and he does no
show that he had opportunities for persona
| knowledge OF the truth about this very inter
esting matter.
The statement does not "rest on his au
thority alone" for the silence Of Mr.. Mn
ming is strong confirmation. II Gibson ha
designed TO perpetrate fable he would nc
have invented one that could be blown t
pieces by a word from one of the leadin
actors in the events described.

The Fairfield (Me.) Journal says that Mr..
A. p. Williams, the new senator from Cali

a common school and academic education,

Fairfield, where, after acting as clerk In

IT is amusing to find in the New York
HeralHs cabled account OF Mondays de-
bate in the house Of commons tho fol-
lowing remarks credited to Marquis Of
Harrington: "The dandy league had done
its utmost to prevent crime, aud its failure
was evidence of how deep rooted the dis
order was; but Mr. Parnell was right when
he said that II, under home rule, the out
RACES continued the rest Of Ireland would
soon put a stop to them" The dispatch
may have been garbled, but any telegraph
editor might haye known at a glance that
Lord harrington, the brother Of Lord Fred
erick Cavendish, was not likely to credit
the land league with any desire to "preveut
crime" Upon reference to more carefully
edited papers It is found, of course, that
the.words- quoted were not usel by Lord
p Harrington, but by far ADLER statesman
and a thinker of quite different caiber, Mr..
John Morley, the late chief secretary for
Ireland.

a Mean Useless Lie.

What Justification can there be for the
plain, palpable lie uttered by jeff. Davis
recently before a Democratic congressional
conveAtion, If the reports In the newspapers
be correct. When he lied unblushingly,
twenty-five years ago, in support OF the
cause of the rebellion there was manifest
motive for 1t; but now, when that cause has
been lost and dead for more than twenty
years, why should he 90 to lying agalnY
lie sOys that he cannot vote In Mississippi
for congressman because he resigned his
seat In the United States Senate to take the
position Of maiorgeneral in the Mississippi
militia VIII anybody in the United States,
or In the whole world, point to the con-
stitutional or statutory provision, state or
national which imposes that disfranchise-
ment on Jefferson DavisY 1t cannot he
done, for there does not exist such q pro-
vision. Is It necessary, In order to his
standing well with Mississippi Democrats,
that he should utter before them, and before
the world, such a brazen and reckless lie as
thatY Truth.
