Tucson's Irrigation Enterprise.

There are thousands of acres of land in this territory that are now considered valueless which, in the course of a few years, through mans ingenuity. will be brought under cultivation and made productive. Although the oldest and most honored village in the territory, Tucson has apparently slumbered for years, or at least her eyes have been closed to The agricultural possibilities surrounding her. The Santa Cruz rIver flowing by her borders and which drains large area of country, carrIes large volume of water, but like many Arizona streams it flows beneath the sands which forms the bed of the river.
 An enterprise WAS inAugurated re- gently, with Geo. J. Roskruge, a for mer resident of Prescott, and man full of energy and enterprise, at it's head. to utilize this water for irrigation pur- poses. We are glad to note the enter prise promises complete success. and that soon large area of land in the vicinity will be brought under cultivs- tion.-Journsl. Miner.

Now that the new year is drawing to 6 close. and we look back over the past twelve months, we cannot but feel thst Fe have a great deal to be thankful for. The cattle, mines and commercial inter es;s are ID a much more healthy conol- tion than they were year ago; money seems easier and better feeling Rener- sly prevails. The prospects fer the coming year were never brighter. and by successfully grasping the situation, We can materially help ourselves. There IS one thing We should all remember, and that is that our interests are identical or in other words. We are all desirous Of improving Southern Arizona and de yeloping our resources. In doing thls, B great deal more csn be accomplished by all working together and ID encour' Esing every legitimate enterprise that IF started, than by hanging back and throwing obstacles in the way. No pet r iealousie- should be allowed to arise, sud each one should rejoice in the: sue Cess of his neighbor as well as his own. If We cannot speak kindly of every one, ys can st least keep our mouths closed thereby doing them no injury.
 We offer the above suggestions for Ehst they are worth, and state right here that this is the polIcy of .tbe CITI- zES for the coming year.

ONE of our democratic exchanges from the south, speaking of the Presidents message, says: The democrats ot the whole nation were Rstonished when the uspers gave them the Presidents mes sage. Nobody looked for such paper: We all thought that an agreement would be reached between the wings ot me party and did not dream that the Prerl- dent would throw such fre-brand mt the already not, oombustible material already so alarming to the party.
 He must know that the party hss sboui agreed on the repeal ot the t- bacco taI, yet if this message mesns anything. 1t means that the President doesn't want that done, but only re- ductinn of the tor;f duties. His argn- neut for low tariff IS but 8 rewriting or inc time worn arguments of the Courler- Journal, without the brllliaucy. Not one new idea is introduced. Not new line off dressing for the old ones.
 The message precipitstes the light we were trying to avoid, If the party m Con press pays any attention to 1t at sli. The course will probably be to ignore the message. Unless this IS done we are in s hopeless wrsngle and are al ready defeated.

WHEN the thermometer registers freezing point, 8 something that seldom happens heresbouts, we think it eI- aemely cold and old Boreas IS made to suffer all kinds of slsnderous abuse, not only from old timers, but also from new corners. This Is hardly far on the pert Of the latter, as their acquaintance with the individual who works the zero crank, Ess made where biizz4rds bite the earth and every living thing thereon. We boast of our climate and then expect too much of 1t, We call it the sun kissed laad, and then get mad fl Tom Frost b-eathes on it ever so little. Old timers say that such things never used to hap psn and probably they blame the tender feet for coming nere and bringing the cold weather with them.

THK Sunday Chronicle, 8 straight DsmocrtIc paper published in Birming ham, Ala, says:
 The Speaker of c ngress, Mr. Carlisle, will speak in Atlanta on the 231 of January on the tariff issues. We lock upon this Es Bn omen Of evil for our party. A free trade speech at the lead ing southern city will only cause sddi- tIonsl food for campaign literature for Rspu blican forcrs. We won n the last campaign because We had broad tarlff plank and because Mr Cleveland did not undertake to dictate policy for the party.
 Now the President issues proDunclR- mento SO much narrower than the party platform that some of us cannot get on it with him. Then Mir. Carlisle IS to come and talk against progress ID g land of progress. He will only widen the breach in the party, and can accom- pIish no good. What the party needs now Is union. and Mir. Carlisle will not strengthen the party by making tariff speeches in the south.
 In snother,plsce the Chronicle says:
 What IS the use of making 8 fuss over the Presidents message. He IS as lIsble to make mistakes ss other men. Under our laws the President don't make any laws. Congress does that. MT. Cleve- land may honestly think that it IS bet- ter for us to buy our goods from Eng land than to buy them from our neigh bors, but the American people will never do il. The message will do no harm except to the Democratic party. There is not the slightest danger Of any hurt ful Legislation.

 IS the opinion of General Richard Taplor of Confederate fame, when speak ing of the mistakes made on behalf of the south and against the north, ssys their greatest oversight twas that We dId not substantially destroy the pro tective features of the tariff in the viR- ter session ot 1S57-S by sn sci which provided rapid sliding scale to free trade. As democratic measure, We could have passed such law, and held It tight on you till it closed the furnaces, workshops, woolen and cotton mills and steel and bar iron-vorks of the whole North and West, and scattered your workmen over the prsries and Ter risories. When the war WAS ready for you, you would not have been ready for the work. You could not have srmt d and equipped and put in the field s large army nor built 6 navy, You would have been without supplies, ma chinery and workmen, and you would have been without money and credit" And yet. this is.the identical policy that President Cleveland would force upon the country now, 8 policy that would, had it been enforced in snti-bellum dsys, have ruined the north, and if en- forced now. will from the same stand polnt, rum the entire county.

Mr.. Goat, with head bent so low
that he caught but glimpse of the
white apron, did not discover that it
was the stump that wore it, and not
Jessie.
He came rushing on, and his head
struck the stump with terrible force.
All was still, and when the trem-
bling little girl ventured to peep
around the stump there lay the goat,
apparently lifeless. Selling her lit
tie apron, she sped swiftly over the
rest of the field, and was soon at
home safe in her mothers arms
Was the goat killed? Well, he
was so badly stunned that he did
not revive for some time.
When Jessie was on her way to
school the next morning she met
Mr.. Rawson coming out Of the pas
ture. He did not know, until Jessie
told him, what hurt the goat. When
she had finished telling him about
it, he said, "Well! Well | must
