A HEAVY blow is anticipated upon
the gulf coast according to advices
from Havana, which represent cy-
clone entering the gulf coast south of
Key West and threatening the coast
from Cedar Keys to Brownsville. A
norther sweeping the Atlantic coast
from Charleston to Key West, driving
out the yellow fever germs and purify
ing the atmosphere, would be more
acceptable. Should such a storm as is
predicted from Cuba reach the gulf
coast of Texas it would do great dam
age.

ALL reports from all quarters indi-
cate that yellow fever is likely to
spread, and that wherever it is pos
sible to secure a fOothOld, it will get
it's grip. San Antonio might be in a
very much better condition to resist
a visitation of plague, than she is. Her
safeguard is in her atmospheric con-
ditions, and not in her municipal
cleanliness. 1t is not wise to relegate
all to nature in case of this gravity,
and a broom brigade should assist
nature.

We would like to hear from the farmers and others of this county who have noted the growth of Bermuda grass here. Our attention was called to this matter the other day by an in- spection of the grass growing ID c. W. Frost's dooryard. It is just as thick as grass can grow and perfectly green We de not think we ever saw thick CT mat of grass. Much te our aston lshment We learned from MT. Frost chat the growth has not been stimula- ted by irrigation. He thinks that the hills in this county can be given per petual green by propagating ths grass, and he says 1t makes superior pasture. Have any oi our readsrs given this grass trial on large scalef If so, we should like to hear from them. lfit is as good as it seems to us 10 be there slfould be field of it on every farm in the esunty.

The Iminigraiien Question.

 When half million people flock into land annually from monarchlal countries, knowing nothing of the country to which they come and in. tent only on finding better field for thslr own energies to bs expended in; when of those tens of thousands are bsth ignorant and depraTed and, through hardships suffered, are i'm. pressed with tho belief that govern msnts were originally invented msrs- y as engines of oppression, to permit these wretehes, after brief pro obation, to stretch cut their stained hands and to take and wisld the free American ballot, is to tempt Providence. All men of all parties appreciate the wrong, but cswardly fear of losing votes keeps them silent. This fear ought to Do driven into the back groud now by the greater fear which the in-rushing fieod can net help but sngsndsr in every thoughtful mind. The inconsistency of saying, as we do, that our country rests alone upon the intelligence and patriotism of the pee pie, and then our offering the ballet to tens and hundreds of thousands of men who came to us in shame and sin, and with but thought of getting bet ter wages than could be obtained abroad, men who know nothing of our country and refuse to learn, surs- ly this is not only tbe very acme of inconsistency, but it is such use of our gifts as will take from us the sym pathy of the world when it produces it's legitimate rtaults. The danger is made all the greater by the close bal ancs betwsen the two great parties, by which i. IS possible for these mis- creants in slngls city to turn tue scales of great National election. Surely our immgratien and naturali- zatian laws need a nightly overhaul. ing. And tEo changes should not enly apply to foreigners coming here. Thousands of our own people are now using the ballot who onrbt not fo be permitted to. They can not be denied it's use, but We can say with perfect justice that if any more grow up n the same way. the ballot shall be de- nied them. The ballot should be re- served 10 those who can make both an honest and intelligent use of it, and the child should learn that citizenship is something to be sought fer and prized.

IL is whispered around, and gener- ally believed, that it is the intention of Governor Zulick to pardon Sol Earth immediately after the adjourn ment of the next District Court for this county. The reason for this is, that 1t will prevent other indictments being found, and give Earth time to arrange matters so as to leave before another court We have warned 6ogr ernor Zulck of the consequences Of such action repeatedly, and reiterate the warning. The people of this county were put to too much trouble and too great an expense, in fasten- ing the charge of raising county war rants upon him, and are oppesea-- bitterly opposcd--to his release in so short tims.-St. Johns Herald.

 There is in the United States very general desire that all reasonable and practicable restrictions should be placed on the liquor traffic. In almost every community the evils of dram drinking are deplored, the prevalence of ten psrancs desired, and a growing sentiment exists in favor of such laws as will most effectually restrain the bad influences that seem to be lney- table results of liquor-selling. But we have not been able to discover any indications of general demand for constitutional or statutory prohibit .ion, either State or National, and we think tho day is very remote when the prohibition amendment, reported by the Senate Committee on Education and Laber, will become part of the Federal Constitution. Even fla large majority of the people throughout the country were ardent prohlbitionists, it would by no means follew that they would bs favorable to this amendment. It involves much more than the moral aspects of the liquor question. It pro- poses new departure in direction against which thousands of the best citizens of every State will protest. It calls for such an enlargement of the area of Federal jurisdiction, such a surrender of local control, as will evoke earnest opposition even in the strongholds of prohibition. If the General Government should outlaw the liquor traffic, there would be ocea- sion for the Federal police in every city, village and hamlet Federal courts, and all the mechanism for de- lection, trial and punishment of yio- lators of tho liquor law. would have to be established in almost countless numbers.

Pump Irrigation.

Under this title the criand (Cal) News discusses phase of irrigation, which, It appears, would be specially applicable to portions of Arizona. It says:
 A force pump 10 raise the water thirty or forty feet will cost $200 and will throw 600 gallons per minute. It will require four horse power en- gine to work it. which would cost S450. The expense of running the engine and pump would be about s per day.
 A pump of this kind running if teen hours per day would irrigate coco acres of land or over, once week, putting an inch of water on the land each time. This is rather liberal wa tering.
 Tho expense of keeping this up for the season, say six months, wohid bs as follows:
