ASlLIusrRArEpEp EDITION.

United and persistent action, with a purpose, is the secret of success in all public enterprises. Very little is accom- plished if left to mere chance Every where We see the results of organized efforts, producing progress and filling the world with gigantic enterprises, which individual capital and effort would be inadequate to undertake. What one man alone is powerless to accomplish, the united efforts of community, con- centrated on one particular object, will accomplish with ease, obstacles that seem insurmountable to the private in- dividual. This is nowhere more appar- ent than in the west, where gigantic enterprises await brain and capital.
 To take advantage of every opportun- ity which city, situated like Tucson, in the midst of a rapidly developing community, with large and constantly increasing commercial interests, should enjoy. means little enterprise, and the best, and in fact only means available to accomplish this purpose and realize our anticipations, is by the judicious use of printers ink. This is the stepping stone to all branches of successful industry, and none more so that in the case of this territory; here where We have soil capable of sustaining millions upon millions of population, and here where we have, comparatively speaking, no population at all. The question may be asked, How is this?" It is easily answered. People on the outside know nothing of Arizona, or its resources. If they have heard of our territory. it has been, in most cases, in a disparaging tone, consequent upon our by-gone Indian question, and other unpleasan tries having their origin in the brain of disappointed forums seekers who hoped to enrich themselves, and failed, whilst "plssing through" our Territory. Heretofore we have done very little to refute those statements, and have also done very little towards making known our wants and advertising our resources. Tucson, one of the oldest towns in the United States, has never yet issued a circular or pamphlet informing the out side what our resources are, and what is most nesded-immigratio Nine out of ten man will tell you, on visiting our town, that they never heard of Tucson, ind We're led to believe that Phcnix, or some other point was the only city in the Territory worth coming to. The reason for this is very simple. The capital city invests a good deal of coin in adver- Using herself, and she is to-day reaping the benefits therefrom.
 Our purpose is to issue an illustrated edition of the CITIZEN in the most con- else manner possible, containing all and every point that will be of interest and benefit to the intending immigrant, and by this means, and even though it should be published at private expense, do our best to advance the interests of Pima county, and the towns and min ing camps within her borders. We will issue this paper about the latter part of November, and We trust its appearance will merit the approval of the public. We shall certainly do our best to attain this end.

Modern Rome.


 Since 1870 the aspect of Rome has considerably changed. The old nar TOW winding streets are a thing of the past, and are replaced by large, wide thoroughfares. Blocks of the olG houses have been knocked down and large modern palazzi have sprung up i'll their stead. The narrow Corso of old times will soon be no more, as 1t Is gradually being widcned by half again its original width. The charming villa Ludovisi, with its beautiful trees. shady walks, and sparkling fountains, has been turned into a new quarter. with wide street and large houses. The gate of Porta Pia, where the breach was made in 1870, and outside of which there was nothing but vine yards and fields, will soon, instead of being the limit of the town, be the center, because houses are springing up now to a good two miles outside that gate. The waste ground and fields all around St. John Lateran are no more, a new suburb having sprung up there.
 The Fiber also is being widened and an embankment IS being built on each side, and handsome new bridges cross the river at different points. The widening of the Fiber Is necessitating a slight change in one or two of the old monuments. such as the Bridge oi St. Angelo, to which will have to be added another arch; and the Temple of Vesta runs some risk of being tam pered with; but it is hoped that, as just at that point the river curves, and by doing so makes it sufficiently easy for the width to be effected on the op posite side. that advantage will be taken. n.-London Tablet.

IN country where water possesse. such great value as in Southern Arizo- na, its economical use becomes a proper subject of legislation, as well as a sub iect of economical consideration by the consumer. The enlargement of the sphere of duty of given amount of wa ter must eventually govern the growth CT agricultural developments, and the actual and permanent prosperity of our peculiarly conditioned land. Al present our only means of irrigation iL that of tapping small water sources with ditches and small canals. In the latter case, where the source of supply is sui ficiently great, success has attended the efforts of those engaged in this labor, but in Southern Arizona, where there is no great concentration of wa ter, this means of cultivation has many drawbacks, and likewise en- tails heavy outlay. We are almost in the same predicament Southern Califor- mia labored under previous to her arte- sian water supply, without which to- day, she would be laboring under the same disadvantages that we now exper- fence. What we want, and must have, is artesian water. Let it be once de monstrated that it is possible to obtain water by this means, in this county, and the result will astonish those engaged in irrigation by means of surface water. One artesian well in our city would be the initial step to our greatest of all in dustries farming g-and by its means our barren mesas would be transformed into a perfect garden. Our city council have appropriated quite a sum for the furtherance of this project, and it only now remains for some enterprising citi- zen to solve the problem. Artesian water in Southern Arizona means an era of prosperity, the foundation of large cities, and garden of wealth second to none.

HoS Chas. k. Drake. one of our most popular citizens, has been appointed Re ceiver of Public Moneys in Tucson. MT Drake is Republican of the most or thodox school, and certainly deserves this recognition of his services. But aside from partisan grounds, MT. Drake IS gentleman of ability and integrity, a man who has his interests amongst us, and one in whom the entire community has implicit faith. We not only con- gratulate him on his appointment to this important position, but feel conf dent his selection meets with universal approval. Certainly change had to take place in the office, and better appoint ment could not have been made.

Unjust Taxation.

It is unjust to tax the stomach with burthens that it cannot bear. Many silly people thus tyranize that faithful servitor until it rebels and punlshes them as they deserve. Dyspepsia is usually the child of gastrOnomic folly, but whe- ther this or the natural associate of in herent feebleness from childhood, 1t IS surely and pleasantly remediable with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the finest and most highly sanctioned gastric tonic in existence As a result of the tone imparted to the stomach, and the in creased activity of it's digestive asd as similative action, insured by the persis- tent use of this benign invigorant, gen eral stamina is augmented, the nerves and tranquilized, and a to insomnia and hypochon- drisis defeated, Billiousness, chills and fever, rheumatism and kidney troubles are conquered by this admirable med icine.

THERE IS movement in which every person can labor and assist without dis tinction of creed or politics, that will be of mutual benefit, and that is the devel- opment of the natural resources of Ari- zoua. We see about us upon every hand opportunities of bending the stern and sterile country to the benefit of mankind, and little effort in the right direction will accomplish wonders. Here and there are broad acres upon which the fructifying waters may be carried, and their appearance changed by its magic into blooming gardens and pro- life fields. In our hills, all about us, the precious minerals invite the hand of industry, and beg to pour in the lap of toll their burden of wealth. The end less valleys, rank with nutritious grass es, tempt the herder with his herds, but for the lack of water to slake their thirst, and which can yet can be found in plentiful quantities when intelIigently sought. These grand elements of wealth and splendor are as yet a sealed book upon which we all dwell, awaiting the opening of its covers to reveal the pie lures written. In this grand work of reclamation and rransfor nation can we all join hands and perform the little
 work that is demanded of us. It will never evolve its treasures and blessings spontaneously though we may wait and wait until time shall be no more, but the energy ard enterprise that is born of intelligence and nurtured with re- compense must apply the wand and work its miracle. All these things are abundant with us, awaiting this grand effort to bring out the smiles of fortune and fulfill the will of their creator. It is out of earth our prosperity must come, and the sooner we abandon the idea that we must be fed by luck" and turn our own energies at work to pro vide for ourselves, the sooner we will open the grand storehouse of nature that is full to overfiowing with business enough for us all, and plenty to spare.

THE CITIZEN has all along expressed its opposition to corporal punishment in the public school of this city. We have done this for the reason that some teach CTS cannot be trusted with even a light rattan in their hands when they have the privilege of applying it to other peo. ple's children under their charge. This is not applicable to all teachers, inas- much as many of them are kind-heart, ed and considerate of the little ones en- trusted to their keeping, but granting that there are ten of the latter to one of the former, it becomes necessary to de prive that ten of the right to use the rod in moderation, in order to keep it cut of the way of the one with less hu- man instincts. The present trouble in the school is evidence of the forego- ing. At a meeting of the school trustees yesterday,a vote of censure was passed on the offending teacher, with the threat of expulsion in case it hap ened again. Messrs. Mansfield and Hol- laday-the latter brother of the cen sured teacher-voting in the affirma- tive; MT. Buehman in the negative, he believing in immediate dismissal We question very much if the matter will be allowed to end here, inasmuch as if the public schools of Tucson are to prosper they must have the confidence of the people whose little ones are in attend ance therein. This being the case, the CITIZEN fayors a further investigation of the trouble. Children attending the public schools should not be maltreated with impunIty.

 James Craig, Scottish servant em- ployed by Elias Rogers, carpenter who resides at Allentown, N. J., was the victim of a queer prank of lightning a few years ago. He was sitting in the kitchen brOiling a piece of meat over the fire, and a fierce thunder storm was raging without A flash of lightning struck the house and the electric cur rent came down the chimney, knocked Craig senseless, and threw the meat and spider into another room.
 Craig was given up for dead, but in an hour came to and stated that he had not been insensibie since the second when the shock occurred, but had been unable to move a muscle, although he. had heard everything that was going on about him. His left side was badly burned and one of his shoes was torn from his foot and found nearly twenty | feet from where he sat when the house was struck.
 Two peculiar cases of death by cleo tricity occurred in Asbury Park d few years ago, and the story is oft tolO there James Young and Henry Brooke, two house painters. were at | work on the exterior of cottage on | Wesley lake when terrific thunder storm came up. They fled to the in- terior of the hotse, and after the storm had passed and the sun was again shining they went back to their scafOld

Shortly afterward it was discovered that both men were dead although their bodies bore no marks, save dull black lines about the fingers which held the paint brushes.
 One day 6-yearold child in Con necticut town was playing in the gar rett during a severe thunder storm. A chimney was struck. The bolt ran down the side of the house to the ground The family were extremely frightened, but unharmed. They missed the golden haired darling Oi the house, but soon found him, unin- jured but completely dazed. But in stead of yellow curls, the child's hail was changed to jetty black.

Miss Button was standing in her room with a hai in her hand when the current shatter ed the door frame within few feet oi her. The shock knocked herdown, and for some time she was deaf in conse quence. An examination of the hat showed that the lightning had skele- tonized the feather on her hat com pletely.
