WHO WROTE SHAKESPEARE
How the Element of "Doubt' Leads to
 Grand Achievements.

The world is agitated again over the question of who was the author or ohaKe- speare's plays. ,L4. Thoroo eS, e.1 .:
 The man who has been successful in exciting the present momentary interest in the subject is, like most successlui agl- tators, an Irishman. He claims to nave discovered cipher running through, the Shakespearian plays which proves them to have been written by Lord Bacon. It is also claimed that there is cipher in the epitaph on the moss-grown tomb stone, which, properly interpreted, leads to the same conclusion. :.
 This age shows decided inclination to pry into mysteries.
 1t can make no difference to snakes peare now whether the world believes he wrote the plays that bear hls name or not.
 The plays are immortal.
 Ignatius Donnelly cannot rob us oi these grand works, even though he should succeed in robbing Shakespeare ot his glory. r..a many of mans great accomplishments would never have been brought to suc- cessful issue. n ,
 Men have been stricken down without warning. Doubt put in motion the ln- vestigation which ascertained the cause. After the discovery of the cause, the world was ignorant of any remedy with which to stay the terrible slaughter of humanity, and medical science said 1t was impossible. Doubt led the way to the lieht, ,Jslfs~e Warmers safe cure solved the seemingly unsolgable problem. It's friends tell us with conclusive proof that the unsuspected kidney disease befouls the blood and causes most of our diseases
 For years the heart was looked upon as the most important organ in the body, but doubt led to further inquiry, which developed the fact that the kidneys are the real blood-purifers of the system and these organs now attract the first attention of the careful practitioner. It is now recognized fact that if they are put in healthy state by the use of that remedy possessing such wonderful cura- tive and cleansing powers most of the prevailing diseases of the system will be easily overcome, since their cause will be removed.
 How unimportant, in comparison with such problems, is the present discussion as to the authorship of Shakespeare

A bill has been introduced in the Senate of ghiO, fixing the rate of pas senger transportation at two cents per mile. A prominent railroad official is of the opinion that the srailroads would not be adversely affected should the bill become law, believing that the increase in travel would offset the loss from the reduction on the rate. A uniform rate of two cents is charged in New York State, and while there was some complaint at first from rail road companies, the plan is working satisfactorily now.

. Copper, in Esw York, has declined slightly and is now quoted at 164Oc. A reaction was to be expected after the rapid advance in price, and that the falling off is no greater is sur prise to many and satisfaction to producers. It is not likely that there will be further material decline for four or five months, at the end of which time an increased production may begin to have its effect on the market. A New York dispatch of the Eth inst. says: Ut IS reported that 100000 pounds of copper have been sold for export during the past few years, and freights have been engaged for 500 tons more" The meagre re- ports from the Calumet & Hecla fire are not favorable to its early suppress SIOn

The correspondent always locates these disastrous phenomena judiciously at some remote point, so that the truth or falsity of his statements can not be easily ascertained.

The real objection to tine confrma- ton of Lamar as Chef Justice IS not his espousal of the Southern cause, nor his advanced age, but the fact that he IS lawyer of only mediocre ability. A candidate for the Supreme Bench should be a man eminent in his profession, and the President might easily find in the South a much more available man for the position than Lamar, and one to whom no ob- lection could reasonably be raised.

The Knights ofLabor, winch reached

The Knights of Labor, winch reached the zenith of its power as an organlza- tion in the spring of 1885, when the great strike on the Missouri Pacific system was lnaugurated, which re- suited disastrously to the strikers, has since suffered gradual disintegration through internal dissentions, until the influence of the order has been almost wholly lost. The latest evidence of decadence is the result of the election of officers in District Assembly No. "A, Chicago, the socialistic element having gained complete control. Within fourteen months, according to the General Secretary's last two re- ports, the membership of the Knights of Labor has decreased from 793,0O0 to 100000.

THE nEMENwAE ExFLcRArIoNs

A corresondent of the Missouri Re- publican, writing fo,n Los Muertos, the city of the dead Salt river valley, where the Hemenw ay expedition. un- der the supervision of Frank Cushing. have recently made important discoy- erIes, saysE
 Pathological researeh prosecuted by Mr. Cushing bk the comparative method, demonstrates that the dwell CTS of the plain were Toltecs, and that they reached high state of civ1liza- tion many centurIes before the Aztecs appeared. They were probably of Asiatic origin, but not Mongoloid. The Indian of thesPacife coast appears to be Mongoleid and later immigrant from Asia. The age of the Toltec ruins is reckoned in thousands of years. The Toltecs were agricultural people, and had the plain of Tempe under high state of cultivation. The climate and character of the soil were, apparently, the same as now, and vast system of irrigation was required to make the land productive. The maps made bJ.th4 surveyor of the Hemenway pa Tow at least 800 lines of ditch
 The TOltses better irrigators than the farmers of to-day. They were satisfied with very slight flow, and, consequently, were able to con duct water to every part of the plain. The higher ground, which IS now a desert, was reached by levees upon which the water flowed. The bottom of these ditches and levees, hardened by the water flowing over them, have resisted the levelling power of the ele- ments. The banks have disappeared, leaving the bottoms elevated slightly above the plaIn, and these hardened surfaces are now used as roads all over the valley. In some places the irri- gating canal was cut through the solid rock with stone implements. The cost of making that cut to-day with i'm proved implements would be S2O,0OO.
 The manner of building the ditches and keeping them in repair is indica- ted by two parallel rows of stones along the sides of the ditches. These stones are of diorite, and were used as chipping stones to sharpen the stone implements with which the digging was done. Most of them seem to have been worn out and thrown aside, and probably they were covered up with the earth and thrown out as the work advanced. The washing away of the banks by the rains of centuries has left them exposed. Many, no doubt, were used in repalr- Ing the banks. The natural inference is that the ditches were maintained dTfing a long period. The modern canal system of the valley is only fortYfone miles in sTteppt epd cost $1,- s.s e-'l-ls oitche '1l ..5...'.'s' great size and extent, no less than 300 miles of canal alone, and could not be built to-day for less than $2,500.O0O. No less than 45O,OOO acres were culti- vated in the Salt River valley by means of these ancient ditches.

THE PERALTA GRANT DEAL

In our article of the 17th ult., re- garding the fraudulent Peralta- -Rea- wis land grant, we said that Reavis had told Surveyor-General John Hise last summer at Tucson that Surveyor General Royal A. Johnson and ex- Governor R. c. Powers proposed to railroad that grant through the sur veyor-general's office for a half inter est in it, and that pending those ne gotiations, Johnson ordered Powers to make survey of the grant, but that afterwards Reavis would only consent to give them one-third interest Tn the grant, and the bargain fell through. We were in error in stating that ex- Surveyor-General Royal A. Johnson was party to that rticular transac- tion, the party being J. ". Robbins, then the. e..,,t--==41,,.--zr.-l- Sssa, but nevertheless RdCal A. Johnson was the chlet clerk under Robbins in the surveyor-generafs office of Arizo- na at that time, and soon after, upon the death ot Mr. Robbins, his successor in the office, and no doubt had full cognizance of the transactions be- tween ReaviS, Robbins and Powers concerning the grant and its survey by Powers-for Reavis offered to prove by Johnson that the survey of the grant was ordered made by Robbins when General Hise refused to certify it for want of record being kept of it in the office, but Johnson failed to make his appearance and explain It, presumably for fear of being connect ed in some way with the various meth ods used by Reavis with the assistance of the officials of the surveyor-gener- al's office, to bolster mp his fraudulent grant.-Tempe News.
