The complete failure of the Com mission sent from Washington to in duce the Sioux Indians to part with their large reservation and accept lands in severalty, emphasizes fatal defect in the Land in Sevoralty bill, enacted with view of opening up the uselessly largo reservations in the West, and breaking up tribal rela- tions among the Indians, thereby bringing them more directly in con tact with civiGzing influences, This defect pointed out at the time of the passage of the bill is that the Indians are left free agents to accept or reject lands in severalty as they may deem to their best interests, They are shrswd enough to know that the pit tances of money 6oled cut to them sevorally for their rslinquishment of right and title to their reservation lands, by which act they also forego government subsistence, is absurdly small compared with tho benefits they enjoy under tue present demoraliziug system They know good thing when they have it, and de not propose parting with it willingly.

The Tombstone Prospector, in its reference to the Tucson Star being iIttle of on its advocacy of Mark Smith reelection to Congress, quotes alleged remarks eF L. C. Hughes Tn his temperance lecture before the as sociation of Methodist cranks, Tn the old pueblo, in which it is claimed that he sad Smiths beverage, in a measure, partakes of the ardent. The Star calls a halt ol the Prospsetor. says it IS no such thing, and in an issue previous to the Prospector's discovering mares nest the Star irowns upon job winch the grave and impressive Tembsteners are ac- cased with trying to addle Smiths political eggs. We reprint the fol lowing from the Star of the 8tl, as a teadener on the Prosp9etor's refer sacs to the Stars position on the Smith question;
 1t IS whispered around that the Cochise colony IS putting up little scheme to down Mark Smith. That while they are cheering themselves hoarse for Delegate Smith they are silently dropping spiders In his poIiu- cal soup. They are shy, but Ohl they are 50 shallow. They make much noise, but it is always understood.
 The Coehise colony IS very dead duck. Political demagogusry, lack of honesty, and tas immortality and gen eraI bad character of its members ha5 made 1t an object of suspicion, and one always 10 be avoided.
 The gamo of some of the members Of the colony to have the Territorial convention held at Flagstaff shows what Imbcclos they are Tn political management. It is hardly probable tlat Chairman B6lan will for a me- msnt consider the proposition, as 1t carcies political chieanery on it's face, and thece IS not Democrat in Arizo- na who is harder to catch in that kind of trap than Hon. F. J. Bolau.
 No, the colony will not win. It's members in politics arc mongrels. They represent all parties, all klnds of corrupt political jobbery. and not a titha sf political integrity. Their lit tie scheme will not win"

Judge 0'Neil, County Superinten- dent of Schools In Yayapal county, in bis annual report, by facts and figures, shows the great need of a compulsory school law. Many of our citizens show extreme carelessness about com polling their children of school age to attend our institutions of learning.

We arc in receipt of a summary, for 1887, of tho mineral produetien of the United States, from David T. Day, Chiet of Division of Mining Statistics and Technology, Washington, D. C., Substantially the same figures regard ing the production of tho precious metals were published in these col umns several weeks ago The total value of gold produced in 1887, is giv- en at S3S, 100000, a decrease of $1 ,900- 900 from 1886. Silver increased from S5l ,000,000 in 1886, to S53,441, 300 (colning value) in 1887. The total copper production for the year was 1Si,670, 524 pounds, of which 3,750,000 pounds were made from imported pyrltss. The total value of copper was S2l ,052, ,4I0. The production of lead was l60,7 zoo short tons, valued at Sl4,463,000, The report says, The heavy increase of 'desilyeri2ed' lead from 114,829 short tons in 1886, to lS5,552 in 1887, was probably due to the importation of Mexican lead.silyer cres."

WHY WE 0E.sEsT.

Some adverse comment has been made upon our briefly statsd opposi- Sion to the plan of P. ], Bolan ct als to endorse men for offices, under Fed eral control, through the medium of Ihe Territorial Democratic Convention. There IS very great difference in the nomination of a candidate for an eiec- tive office and the endorsement of a politician for the consideration of an appointing power On the one hand all members of political party are Tn duty bound to abide by the choice of theiF convention, while on the other an endorsement does not prevent the circulation oi petition backing the application made to the President of office seekers for positions,
 Conventions know that boosting a candidate for an elective office to the front by means of triekery, will never be countenanoed by political party, Cnd the endorsement" method has not the safeguard of the ballot to check the schemes of interruptions Wlre-puilsrs. While an aspirant for office would no doubt be grstifed by the endorsamsnt of a convention of ms political creed, if honestly given, it is not to bs presumed that he would rely upon that alone, but would resort 10 the aid of the petition and his sin fueutiai friends back East,
 We caa see no merit Tn the preposl- ton Of Belan in fact, under the ex- sting organization we much prefer the orthodox method of selection ot Federal appointess, The Democracy ha: asked for Home Rule. If Cleve. land chooses to vary hls present plan of appointment and give resident of the Territory an office, we think that he will not require the advice of the convention to assist him in making choice, knowing, as he does, that it is the most unwerthy-they who make politics business-who will besiege 8 convention for endorsements. There not bslng enough Federal offices to "go round some one, several, perhaps, will be disappointed and, consequent iy, those who are left out in the cold will not fssl as kindly towards the success ot the ticket as if aspirant8 for Federal preierment are left to hoe their own row. We now say, as we previously said, the proposition smacks of job, and for that reason Bolan scheme had better be dropped from tha programme.

Ths reduction of postage on trees and seeds is agreed upon. This is a matter of considerable importance, es. peeially to the West Large quanti- ties of small tree seedlings go, through the mails, to sections that would oth- orwlse not be planted for many years. The Government can as easily afford to foster and aid this work through the mails as in any other ways. The rate now is l6 cents on pounds, and 1t IS proposed to reduce it 10 8 cents, and oyen l cents is favored by many.

 Bearing on the proposition of Maj
 Powell to reclaim the Colorado des- erts, fer which Congress has already made preliminary appropriation, IS an article by Joaquin Miller on "The North American Nile He urges that the land instead of being a des- ert is in reality enormously fertile. These ruins of Arizona are older than hiStory-as old as the oldest ruins on the Nile oi Egpyt. The re- zion then was densely populated. No allurementS of gold; nothing but the generous sol and the genial climate built up cities here that riyaled Tn ex- tent those of Egypt. If then these primitive people made a garden sf this land, where we new insist on To- eating desert, can we not do some thing with our improved methods?" Very clearly this region was once the garden of America, and it IS reclaima- ble. Miller says he mover ate finer bananas than those grown near Fort Yuma

And now it IS rumored from Wash ington that should the appropriation bllls before congress pass, the surplus revenues over government expendi- tures will be only Sl3,000,O00. The reduction contemplated by the Mills bill--and that by the Senate bill will not probably be less--Is estimated at about $70,000,000; so in tke event of it's becoming law the government would likely be confronted with a gosd sized deficit, The fact is there has been entirely too much fuss made over the surplus bugaboo. With the rapid growth of the country larger appropriations wIll be required of congress and there is little likelihood of the surplus being treublssems.

There is little in the Mills plan of reducing the surplus by lowering the import duties to commend It to the people of the Great W est, who receive 50 little consideration from the admin- istrEtion at Washington. The surplus could be better reduced by judiclous appropriations to increase the eilicien. cy ot the mail servics, enlarge the scope and usefulness of the signal ser ylcs, and develop the water resources of our arid region, making it habita- ble for the immense immigration that is pouring into the United States fron Europe.

The Chicago Packing Company is carrying the war into California, and will, it is said, erect large houses in San Francisco, to be supplied with beef from east of the Rockies. The an- nouncement has caused some alarm among the butchers of the Pacific Coast, who have called meeting Tn San Francesca on September 27th, to devise 8 plan ts meet the encroaeh- mont of the dressed beef ring. The Cheyenne Live Stock Journal sug- gests that the call for a meeting be changed so as to include the beef rais- CTS of CaliIorala, Oregon, Idaho, Ne vada and Washington Territory whose interests 1t says arc equally jeopar. aized by the threatened invasion of California by the Big Four" The Journal does not suggest any plan oi procedure, and we can not see how the Chicago concern can be successfully opposed. The Journal predicts fnan- cial rum to the mass of cattle raisers on tho Coast if tue Chicago men sue ceed in introducing cheap boef in Cal itornia, and, as au evidence of its un- friendhness to Arizona cattle men, 1t says: 1.-The few eight hundred pound Arizona steers that have heretofore found their way into tho San Francis co market as demefalizers of value teach the lesson we would impress.
