AN EXPLODED CAL JIMMY,
The True Facts In Regard to the Railroao
Strike of f1SsT-DcmocraticL Liars
and Caiumnia tors.

The Democratic managers, having ex-
ploded all their other charges against
Gen. Harrison to no purpose, have fallen
back upon their old calumny that the
General during the railroad strike of
1877 declared that the strikers ought to
be shot down, and that dollar n dav
was enough for them. The Democratic
organs have promptly taken the cue,
and are now ringing the changes upon
the worn out falsehood again with the
desperate design OF injuring Gen. Harri-
son among workingmen.
The circumstances which have led up
to the revival of this infamous calunnv
may be briefly told. They contain in
themselves its complete refutation. A.
the outset it may be said thas there is
good reason to believe that Barnum and
Brice are at the bottom OF it, though
memb bers of the notorious Sim Coy gang
are the ones who pretended 10 stand as
sponsors. The Indianapolis Journal re-
Gently offered 81, 200 to any person who
would substantiate the charge that Gen.
Harrison made either of the declara-
tions stated above. Deputy Unites States
District Attorney Bailey, u former mem
ber or the gang, urged on by the Demo
cratic managers, secured alleged state
~
ers that they heard Gen. Harrison utter
these statements, and they were incorpo-
rated III 4 general article signed by T..
L. Gould, Secretary of a local knights
OF Labor assembly, given out to the
Democratic papers, and published far
and wide. Before paying out the money
the friends of Gen. Harrison thoroughly
investigated the circumstances under
which the article was prepared and the
character of those who had signed the
statements. The investigation had not
gone far before several cf the alleged
signers repudiated them altogether, and
OF the remainder not one was willing to
60 before notary and attest the truth.
Of his statement. Then the calumny
collapsed at once; but not content with
this the friends of General Harrison put
an etfectual quietus upon il by obtaining
the sworn statements of members of the
Strikers Committee with whom Gen.
Harrison had communicated and who
were in n position to know every word
he had uttered, TO the effect that he had
not made one of the remarks attributed
to him by the Democratic gang who
were eager not only to injure him but to
get the reward which had been offered.

Sherman, Thomas, all moved among their
troops with every sign OF respect and cor-
fidence on the part of the men; but in
Sheridan's camp it was quite different.

TIE largest, best and most influen- tial of the California journals are now devoting some attention to the growth and prosperity of Arizona. The San Francisco Chronicle has always shown liberality in this respect that our peo- pie acknowledge with a substantial patronage, and its occasional words of praise have borne good fruit for our Territory in the past and are still call ing the attention of the world to our resources and advantages. We very much regret to say that the majority of California newspapers look upon Arizona as possible rival of that state becaus of our early seasons and the wide diversity of products that antici- pate the most profitable market by reaching them several weeks in ad- vance of the products of that state, while in many respects our fruits are of better quality. Certa in of these newspapers never lose an opportunity 10 ridicule our Territory and enlarge upon it's vices and crimes that do not always approach in depravity or atroci- ty those enacted under their own eyes. Our Territory does not seek ovcrdrawn obvious fattery, but simple and exact justice according to its merits. IL deserves this much at the hands of the California press for it has paid it's full tribute to that state during the many years of it's hitherto slow development It will never become entirely inde pendent of the great marts upon the sea coast, but its future years will show a decided change in its policy and it, exports will more than offset in value it's necessary imports.

The Horse Cars of Russia,

At Moscow and St. Petersburg the street cars are similarly constructed to those in Paris, but are little larger. They are almost as long as the passenger coach on steam road-have double decks, or two stories, and accommodate over sixty passengers without crowding, A stairway winds u,s at the rear of the cars leading to the long seats above, over which is wooden roof or canopy, and the passengers have the privilege of seat in the breeze above or in the in- closure below, the latter being like the interior of American street cars. Eight horses are used when there is snow on the ground, four of them being hitched ibreast In the summer four horses, two abreast, do the pulling. Three men run ihe cara conductor, driver and man who rides the off horse hitched in the ;ear. The driver rings bell continu- Dusly, and when any one attempts to ,ross the track in closs proximity he ,ings more vigorously and rails in several languages. The fare is usually twenty kopecks, which is about ten cents. The street cars ill Russia are not old institu- ions and are not very literally patronized. Philadelphia Times.

WE confess to growing respect for the derided chestnut" that may, in time, become a profound veneration. It is the boon of the feeble imitator and it's pious mission permeates all phases of colloquial and epistolary communication from the early prattle of the household nursery to the solemn words of consolation spoken at the grave. We recognize it in the spark ling editorial paragraphs of the ablest metropolitan journals, and it elicits the pladuits of the crowd harangued by the political stump speaker. Its musty flavor is exhaled by the attractive works of the eloquent literati and it greets the devout congregation from the holy pulpit. It is the special staff upon which the extemporaneous orator relies in his moments of alleged bril- hancy and its point is sharpened for the shafts of wit hurled by the so-called humorist. Great is the "chestnut" and long may it's perfect exterior conceal the destructive work of the predatory worm within

Queer pledge? WelL rather, but we have them stranger than that. The other day man ran ia here and sat down in that chair at the end of tine counter. Before I could ask him what he wanted he pulled up his trouser-leg and began unscrewing an artificial leg. 1 had only known of one other case where such 8 pledge was given at a pawn-of1ice. That was by soldier at the close of the war; The man who came in here carried a crutch in his hand, and was determined to raise a loan on his leg. got it for $2 and the customary 10 per cent. a month. He redeemed 1t last night. On another occasion man tried very hard to ob- tain loan of S25 on giass-eye of a very peculiar shade. He had had it made especially for him so that it would match his other eye, but that very fact, of course, reduced the chances of our doing any thing with it in case he for feited the pledge. It is both amusing and affecting to observe the chagrin and disappointment exhibited by people who try to raise considerable loan on articles whose value has been raised in their estimation through long use or loving association. Old heirloon.s which are almost priceless within the family circle are comparatively without value in the pawnshop. Not long ago an old German lady came in here with two solid brass kitchen utensils-old-country make. I don't know what they were for, but they would delight the housekeeper' heart. She expected to realize & sum nearly equal to what the articles must have cost when new, and when 1 told her that could loan nothing at all on them she was terribly insulted. Another woman brought in an immense collec- ton of family photographs, which she imagined could be 'hocked' for tidy sum. A certain line of heirlooms, of course, we can find room for-those such as might find buyer on account of their utility and aesthetic quality but the vast majority of things of that sort are absolutely without exchange value. have seen some terrible scenes in my time. 1 have seep men and women, crazed with hunger or drink, strip of every stitch of clothes they could decentlS spare in order to obtain money to satisfy their hunger or thirst. have given many dollar out of my own pocket rather than take necessary clothing from person really in need, and I have refused to take the gar, ments from a person whom l knew would spend the money for drink. remember seeing a man pawning g cradle and blankets in the front of the store, a order to get money to drink while his wife, with the babe at hel breast, was in the rear trying to raise money on some household treasures tc procure sustenance for herself an( child. There is great deal of noto riety brought to the pawnbroker busi ness by disreputables and 6lacklegs en gagged in it. but it can be carried on il legitimate way just as any other call ing is Chicago Times.

Good Times and Cattle.

Various things occur from time to time to prejudice or improve the out come of agricultural operations. Some of them are of sufficient magnitude that in itself a single item may be sufficient to turn the scale toward sue cess or failure, and of some others a number are required to give special color to the times. There have been periods in the last few years when al most without exception the products of the farmer were sold without profit, not to say at loss. It IS now the case, | though, that several lines of produc- ton have been improving, until the general average is slightly better than a year or two ago. Wool is among the | few things which are ill a worse con dition than ever. Wheat IS among those which can be spoken of as in a general way in an improved position.
 But did you ever notice to what an extent general agricultural prosperity depends on the course of fat cattle? If cattle are doing well at any given time there is tone of cheerfulncss through out the agricultural population, ex- tending even beyond the cattle feeding sections, which fourishing condition iii no other line of the production is able to produce. If you have never taken special cognizance of this fact the next two or three years will likely furnish you an excellent opportunity to do so. We are free to say that oul strongest hopes of improved times ahead for farmers are based on the hopes which we entertain of cattle more than upon any other one thing | National StOckman.
