THERE are strong indications that at least one and perhaps two trunk lines of railway will be constructed across southern Arizona within the next year or two, and that one or both will traverse the Gila valley for large portion of the distance. The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road is seeking a connection between it's eastern and Pacific coast systems and the nearest route suggests the certainty of the completion of the short gap existing across southern Arizona and California to San Diego. The Chicago X Rock Island railroad is also reaching out for a direct short line to the Pacific coast and it's general direction gives a hope that it will seek feasible route from Albuquerque, New Mexico through southern Arizona to the Colo rado river at or near Yuma, or per. haps some distance above; thence to g connection with the San Diego < Cuyamaca railroad now under con struction from San Diego eastward The latter road has recently passed into the possession of a strong eastern company, but it is not known at thi' time what company it is, yet it is hinted that the Chicago & Rock 1slanC company is its present owner. NJ railroad can afford to traverse the Gil; valley without touching Florence whose growing interests demand bette
 means of transportation, and it is reas enable to believe that at least one roaC and likely two will be built througf this place in the near future.

THE press exceeds the bounds of its license when it sounds so wild and senseless an alarm as that given by the New York Mail and Express, pub ished in another column under the caption Do you want war" The exercise of calmer judgment will show the absurdity of such foolish and in cendiary words for, though all that Is there charged against the south being true, the cause is entirely inadequate for a resort to another sanguirary strife. When scheming politicians are not upon the political battle-ground and defeated with their own chosen wea- pons, they should accept the result with better grace. The laws pro- vide ample remedy for the evils charg- ed, and when the ermine becomes so corrupt that prejudice and section nlism prevails over justice, then will it be time enough to indulge in revolu- tionary talk. We cannot believe that all the spirit of justice and integrity existing in the country is found north of Mason and Dixon's line, and if gross political wrongs have been perpetrated in the south, its honorable citizens will surely remedy them for their own welfare if for no other reason. The New York Mail and Express is unduly excited and it's wild words do not meet with hearty response among the people who realize so well the mean ing of sectional strife.

The frequency of hold-ups on the road between Florence and Casa Grande warrants the intervention of Judge Lynch. The punishment met ed out by our courts to highwaymen is wholly inadequate, and where their identity is established the expense and uncertainty of judicial trial should be avoided by promptly suspending the culprit to the nearest tree. Last week the south bound stage from Flor ence was held up twice-on Thursday by two men supposed to be Mexicans, and on Friday by one man, on Ameri- can, named Miller, who was subse- quently captured and identified by E. A. Sake, who had been despoiled by Miller few moments before the stage was robbed. The express boxes, and registered mail (some from Globe) were robbed and dozen or more mail sacks destroyed by being cut open Silver Belt.

THE copious fall of rain that has recently blessed this portion of Arizona gives promise of an abundant season both for the farmers and the stock men. On the ranges the grass is al- ready in excellent condition and in many places along the San Pedro and the valleys adjacent thereto the alil- eria already covers the ground with a heavy growth of splendid feed. The farmers whose fields have been sown to small grain and grass may expect an abundant harvest, as the warm weather succeeding the .rs;..--.-laAs forced growth that places hese Y.

CONGRESS resumed its labors last Monday and President Cleveland's message again urged upon it's atten- ton the necessity of reduction in the tariff duties.

The Enterprise has finished print ing 10000 folders setting forth the many advantages of Grant county, es- pecially in the vicinity of Lordsburg. The work was ordered by the enter prising citizens of Lordsburg. The folder is well written and cannot but have the desired effect in attracting attention and securing new settlers for that section of the country If every town in every county in the territory would follow the example of Lordsburg it would be but few months until our streets would be full of strangers, and our country rapidly settled up with new and enterprising citizens. This is the only way to build up a country. If people never hear of us they certainly will not visit us.-Silver City Enterprise.

The mining sections of the great west have decided at the polls that silver shall remain part of our national currency even to greater ex- tent than at present, by relegaIing its enemies to private life, and the recom- mendation of the secretary of the Treasury is so many wasted words.

An Anecdote of LongfelIow.

A New York paper, in some pleas ant gossip about MT. Longfellow, tells a story of the way he treated the charg- es of plagiarism against the Indian poem, "Hiawatha," in Kalevala, the national epic of Finland. When they began to appear, he showed profound indifference on the subject; but before long his publisher thought best to call his attention to them, and suggested 8
 reply from the poet be written. "Well I'll think of it," said MT. Longfellow, and there the matter dropped. The press continued to echo and re-echo the charge; and the publisher again called on the poet, saying, Really, MT. Longfellow, l think it high time this charge was answered" Again Long fellow said "I'll see about it," adding quietly, "How is the book sellingY" "Oh, wonderfully we'll" said the pub fisher. Better than my other books?" "Oh, much better" and he named the figures. Shortly after this interview (Mr. Longfellow still keeping silence), the Tribune came out with almost a ldSc Ol DAOducldS OH tlfC oubJCSbs hS publisher was now really excited. He called ou the poet again. "It will not do," he said very decidedly, 'to let this thing go on any longer" "How does the book sell?" asked Longfellow. "Amazingly-the sale is already equal to the combined sales of your other books" "Then" said Longfellow. "I think we ought to be thankful to these critics. Let them talk. Seems to me they are giving us large amount of gratuitous advertising. Better let them alone" And let alone they were

BELOW SEA LEVEL.
What Well Borers in he Desert Have to
 Encounter in the Desert.

Mir George Durbrow, of Sslton, is in the city to have his patented hydraul- ic well borer perfected at the Southern Pacific shops. Mir. Durbrow has charge of the well boring for the Southern Pacific on the desert, and his experiences in that line have placed him in possession of valuable and in- teresting information. Speaking of we'll boring at Indio, which is situated twenty feet below the sea level, and is therefore an interesting point of study for geologists, he said to a Herald man yesterday: "We went down 756 feet with one well and struck a stream of water that flowed 1S,000 gallons an hour. The company was not satisfied with this, though, and while trying to develop it the inside casing was filled with sand, and has been left so ever since We found large alternate lay CTS of sand and clay all the way down with occasionally some gravel.
