Ancient Irrigation in Arizona.

The recent investigations of the He menwsy expedition in southwestern Ar izons threw light on the irrigation sys- tenn of the sncIent residents of that ter ri.ory. It is estimated that at one time not less thsn 200, coo inhabitants peopled the valley Of the Gila and its tributary the Salt river. This country Is nov of 8 desert character, except where modern irrigation works have been established. The present settlers gre beginning to utilize what remain of the canals con struoted by their extinct predecessors The ancient ditches carried the water across the flat lands between the Gils and Salt rivers for distance of from fifteen to twenty miles. They were large enough to be navigated, and from their elevated position in so ne csses, were evidently intended to carry water upon a range of country left out of the cRl- culstions of the present inhabitsnts. The progress of irrigation m that part of ArlZons promises st no distant day, to restore to that region its prehistoric density of population. The high tempe rsture and aridity which prevaile there necessarily cause rapid evaporation, and when the development of the canal system begins 10 draw seriously upon the water supply, means of economizing waste will be in demand. In Persis and other portions of Asia, like conditions have been met by covered canals. and the system may yet commend itself both in Arizona and California. Nature has done something In that direction ID DOT tions of Arizona. Several important streams at points in their course sink below the surface and follow subierrs- mean channels for long distances, sub- sequently resppesring. In some in- stances these underground water courses have been traced and tapped and water obtained for irrigation Purposes.-S. F. Bulletin.

No more important measure has been adopted in the public school system than the one now ID vogue in Tucson by which pupils and teachers are en- sbled to leave the premises with expedI- ton and success. There is no rushing, no disorder, no big pupils crowding over and trsmping down the little ones ID a frantic endesvor to escape in case of fire, or other misfortune, but order and a safe and speedy exit from the building. For the formulation of this system the public Is indebted 10 Major Moves, commsndant at Fort Lowell, but to Territorial School Superintendent Strauss the credit is mainly due inRs- much ss it was called into existence through his suggestions. 1t is bis in- tention to have this system Intro- duced and put ID practice all over the territory. Whatever may be sad against Mir. Strauss politically, or otherwise, the CITIZEN is free to say that ss terri torisl school superintendent he IS 8 hard man to improve on, ss Is evidenced by nearly every move made in connec- ton with the educational department of the territory. He has introduced many wise regulations end has during his term of office devoted himself faithfully to the work be had to do. We belleve in giving every man his due and say this without fear of contradiction.

UNDER PROTECTION WE LEAD THE

Democrats insist tha. our indus' have lsnguished under protectio-. We lead the world. The total product of all the industries in the United States ID 1880 was sll ,OOOOOO,OOO; in Great Bri- tain, s9,OOO, 100000; in France; s7OOO.- 100000; in Germany, S67O, ,OO0OOO. Near ly the whole of the enormous product of this country is consumed by Ameri- cans. Our people are able to consume what they produce because they are paid high wages and have the money to spend. Reduce the tariff and We will produce less and buy more of Europe. If We produce anything it will be on re- dueed wages and our people will not earn enough to be such large consumers ss they are now. They will not have the money to buy with. The countries of the Old World will not buy of us what they can produce for themselves. With the wages of our worklngmen re- duced 50 per cent to compete with Eu- AOPCi WAO "Ouao ptOAb O1 tulONAAs OP en our markets to the world? No one but the European manufacturers, chiefly those of England. No wonder that the British papers acclaim Grover Cleveland as having done mora for free trade than any prime minister of England They want our markets. To shut up our mills and factories and sell us the goods We now manufacture has been the sole aim of their ambition for years The producers of the two great nations stand to each other in the relation of two wholesale houses competing for the patronage of 6 wealthy country. Each is trying to undersell to break down the other. The democratic party is trying to help John Bull break down Brother JOnsthsn's business. Shall that party succeed? This is for the voters to de eide at the coming election.
 Under protection We lead the world.
 Under free trade We would be the de pendency of the great industrial nations of Europe.-Clevelsnd Leader.
