The amendment added to the beef in
Spection bill making the adoption and
enforcement Of the law optional with the
cities and counties TO which it is applica-
bic, is slight paliation of the offense
as to its local effects, but its general eff

interests of the state will be as damaging,
not to say destructive, as if said amend
ment had not been made If the meas
ure is right in principle and for the best
interest of the people of the state, why
not make il absolute? And if not based
on right principles why give any an OBJ
portunity to smirch the good name of

The chief inspiration of the advocates
of the beef inspection law proposed to
be enacted by the Kansas Legislature,
other than the direct beneficiaries of such
legislation, is their great solicitude for
the cattle raisers, who, it is asserted, are
practically ruined by the present order
Of things. But that the proposed relief

of increasing the price of live stock no.
body who has given the subject mo-
ments thought viii contend, while the
bill as reported TO the house increases the
burden upon the cattle raiser by requir-
ing him to pay the inspection fee on each
animal sold. The title of the measure
should be changed SO as to read AN act
to facilitate the practice of demagogy
upon the people by members of the leg
islature, and for other purposes"

The idea of hayward at Port Roy
al. only 500 miles distant from the Nor
folk one. strikes the New Orleans Times
Democrat as nonsensical. The place for
the new navy-yard, our southwestern
contemporary points ont, is somewhere
on the gulf coast between Key West and
the Rio Grande. The point is well
taken. With the interests centering IN
the gulf and contiguous waters the gov
eminent cannot fail to plant navy
ward at some convenient point for
prompt response from that arm of the
public service in case of emergency.

DRESSED BEEF AND TaE FARMERS.

Kansas City Gazette.
The Hon. j. F. Merryman, of St. Louis,
recently made an argument on the dress
ed beef industry before committee of
the Missouri Legislature. That portion
of his address concerning the increased
production of cattle. and the value to the
farmer OF the dressed beef idea, is par
ticularly clear. The figures taken from
the statistical abstract of the United
States show the enormous increase of
cattle in the last ten years. Exclusive of
mich cows, which in 1888 numbered
Is, 100000 the number of cattle in the
United States in 1878 was 10, 223, 800; in
1880 was q ,23l 900; in 1884 was 90. 046.
10l; in 1885 was 31.275, 242; in 1887 was
SO, 511, $50; in 1888 was 34,31S, 1863
On page 351 of the statistical abstract
of the United States the value of
the 10, $685. 800 head of cattle was $319.-
541, 703 The number of 34,370, 1868 for
1888, were valued at $611, 100, $50. Not
withstanding this increase of cattle from
1878 to 1888 was a third greater than the
increase in population, it will be OBJ
served that in 1888 the cattle averaged
$17.G9 per head against $17.13 in 1872.

1t Is satisfactory to learn from the
white book on Samoan matters which
has Just been laid on the table of the
reichstag at Berlin that Count Herbert
Bismarck was instructing DR.. Knappe at
Apia as recently as January that on
account of the engagements with this
country and Great Britain the annexa-
ton of Samoa to the German empire
was ''out of the question" But just
what did Count Herbert Bismarck mean,
and whom did be have in his eye, when
he wrote to Admiral Won der Goltz a
fortnight ago today that ANY one stand
ing by them (Mataafa and his followers)
is promoter of the conflict between
them and the Germans, and must take
the consequences" Unannotated and
explained, this language savors of bel
iigerency.

IF "the father of his country" was
 permitted to look down upon the great national celebration in honor of his inauguration as president of the Uni ted States, upon June 90th, he was surely gratifed with that patriotic demonstration. The fealty of sixty millions of people to the government born of bloody fields of battle as the beacon of the liberty of the human race, was notably demonstrated upon that eventful day of rejoicing and, while there was no detraction from the glory of those brave men who created the pride of all nations out of the discordant elements of oppressive monarchy, there was noticeable in the expressions of the day an intensity of present loyalty that closely approach es the sentiment that moved the peo- pie one hundred years ago. Indeed, the growth of patriotism has appar- ently grown with the material pro- gress of the country and should oc- casion unfortunately arise to test its spirit, we would find picture of de votion to country among the people that would astonish the whole world

Discussing the Irrigation Problem

A San Francisco dispatch of May ' says: At meeting of the execu- tive committee of the state board of trade to-day Senator Stanford, Senator Stewart, of Nevada, exGovernor Per kins, Congressman Morrow and other prominent men were present. The subject discussed was the reclamation of the arid lands of the western part of the United States.
 Senator Stanford said the import ance of the arid land project cannot be overestimated. The region ex- tends from Mexico to British Colum- bia, with width of twelve hundred miles. The needs of this district should receive notice when it comes before congress. The Senator further said: "These lands are now useless for settlement by the poor man. Only when irrigated by capital can they be used for agriculture and furnish homes for millions of people. The work is a great one and worth the expenditure of millions of money. The people east do not understand that this land is valueless without water"
 Senator Stewart said surveys should be carried out, the first four million dollars could be used in that manner The appropriation of $250,000 will be used at initial points, where topo graphical surveys have already beer made. The people of the east know little of the value of irrigation. Two thirds of the agriculture of the wollt is carried on by means of irrigation The reclamation of arid lands is les work than the cultivation of timbe lands. In time these will be the onl, lands to be secured.
 The senator then explained the irri gation system in India. The cost o retaining by irrigation would b about ten dollars an acre, and the fer tility and possibilities amount t. double that of unirrigated land wit drainage. Irrigation is as healthy a the rainfall.
 Congressman Morrow and Col. Johl P. Irish also spoke on the subject.
 Senator Stewart assured those pre- ent that the senate committee woul accomplish that, which in time woul surprise the whole world, in the ma ter of irrigation.

An l. dian Scare.

About a week ago 1t was reported to Us that Lu-pe's band Of White Mountain Apaches, from Fort Apache, numbering about seventy men wom- en and children, had made their ap- pearance at PringePs ranch, on Cher ry Creek, about 2S miles north of Globe, and giving evidences of having had an extended drunk which was continued throughout the night after their arrival, and while in that con diion they claimed the ranch, took possession, entered an enclosure and commenced planting. Subsequently d part of the same band, or other In- dians, took possession of HammOn x Middleton's ranch, on Coon creek, in the neighborhood of Pringle's ranch, which was at once reported to the proprietOrs, who were not living on the ranch but were represented by an employee. Steps were ill progress on Thursday last to recover possession, but, doubtless the movement of the owners of those ranches had been an ticipated by cavalry from Fort Apache, who had then been on the march three days 10 the place where their services were required.
 The Indians were not hostile. Their presence on Cherry and Coon creek Is accounted for upon the supposition that the locality where these ranches are situated is on the reservation, anC had previously been cultivated by In dians.
 Citizens will feel greatly obliged tC Captain J. H. Bulls, of the San Car los Agency, for his promptitude in ac quainting Lieut.. Johnson, in charge of White Mountain Apaches, of tho objectionable conduct of his Indian: and the equally prompt action of thu latter in adopting means of relievin! the ranchers referred to, of the pres ence of unwelcome visitors.
 Since writing the above we hay learned that the Lu-pe mentioned, i the same chief who endeavored t dispossess Dr. Stallo of his ranch, il the same vicinity, about year ago. so, he should be sufficiently discipline
 to render him less annoying to white residing within their own bailiwick'

Echoes from the vekoI Mountain.

The reported sale of the Great East ern group; the splended showing of the present Vekol ore bodies, and the most encouraging outlook for a big mine in the Combination shaft, gives to this famous camp an appearance of permanency and future prosperity hopeful in the extreme. The board of supervisors have been petitioned to aid in the construction of new road across the Great Eastern Gap to the Vekol, cutting off , miles of useless travel. With an administration pledged to so great an industry as silver min ing, the feeling all around here seems to be stimulated with the most cheer ful hope.

IT is pretty safe conclusion that the Indians concerned in the recent murders and other depredations near the Mexican line are the few that escaped from Geronimo's band at the time the latter surrendered. They have doubtlessly lived quietly in the Sierra Madre mountains since their escape and, feeling secure in the peaceful condition of affairs, they have ventured to indulge in little charac- teristic publication that their hand may not lose it's cunning. The In dians on the San Carlos reservation are reported all present and peaceable and we incline to the opinion tha they have no connection whatevel with the recent outrages.

IN spite of the immutable law of de- cay that resolves even the stubborn rocks of the lofty mountains, as well as all things else fashioned by the mighty and mysterious hand of creation, into impalpable powder, nature has chosen to carefully preserve many of the un- written records of an inconceivably remote antiquity for the present and future generations to embody into an intelligent and coherent history of the world and its people. One of the most remarkable discoveries of the kind of late years, if the report be fully sub stantiated, is given in another column and taken from the Gallup Register It is no less than the finding of quan- titles of corn beneath primitive flow of lava over which q secondary flow took place after centuries of time in terveued. This existence of chaIred remains is regarded as substantial evi- dence of contemporaneous human life, for corn is not a spontaneous produc- ton. The determination of the ap- proximate periods of these lava flows will probably become a scientific task the result of which will probably de monstrate the antiquity of the new world and reveal wonders of civiliz- ation never before dreamed of. We have abundant fool for the imagin- ation in the developments of the frag mentary records of prehistoric race that once occupied this valley; rae, that has left behind huge monuments of their genius, intelligence and in dustry, and whose mausoleums revea the peculiarities of their persona structure; but the evidences of ia more remote existence of human lif as above loted opens up the dust. pages of Q buried past with strang and fascinating interest to the arden student of archaeology and ethnology We confess to a considerable skepti cism in the reputed discovery, but i this wonderful country there are man
 surprises for even the most imagir ative mind, and in this instance it verifcation is simple matter.

A CHICAGO Times reporter feigned insanity and obtained admission to an asylum for the purpose of learning the truth of the allegations oi cruelty charged against that institution to- wards the unfortunate inmates. He played his part so cunningIy that the learned physician in charge carefully studied his case and declared him in- curably insane. Nevertheless he wit messed the most inhuman brutality to- wards the patients, ending in the murder of one of them and now the grand jury has indicted the superin- tendent and several of the guilty nurs- es. It is an incontrovertible fact that newspaper reporters have been more successful in ferreting out crime and bringing the guilty ones to justice than all the detective agencies of the country.

The special officer at the Third street depot was called upon the other day to separate couple of men who were threatening to come to blows. One of them was an old man, and after he had been made to resume his coat, vest, comforter cap and mittens, all of which he had doffed for the encounter, he explained:
 'Darnedest set of people around here l ever sawl got to thinking about Nero as 1 wait ed for the train, and it struck me that had forgotten bis age. I asked about twenty people, but no one could tell. When 1 asked that old stub nose over there he said he'd knock my head of if didn't canter."
 "Well, why didn't you go awayp
 ''I was going to, but he acted so mighty cranky l made up my mind to drub him. A man who can't answer civil question ought to be drubbed."
 "Well, don't raise any further fuss"

Tho Courts Sentiments Prevail.

A remarkable trial has just occurred at Brownsville before Justice Sparks, in which Daniel Hess was charged with stealing water from a ditch. The trial consumed six days, and was enlivened by constant exchange of personalities on both sides. Justice Sparks said in presenting the instructions of the de- fense to the jury:
 'Gentlemen, the1n's my sentiments, and I want you to bring in verdict accordingly, as they are the law"
 Tossing the district attorneys instructions to the jury the justice contemptuously re- marked
 ''Them's not my sentiments; they're nc good; but you can take them for what they are worth"
 The jury, after few moments delibera' tion, returned verdict of guilty.
 The justice stood aghast. ''Whatp' he shouted, ''you dare to go agin my sentiments The verdict is set aside and the prisoner dis chargedl"
 This ends the case for the present, but fur ther proceedings are expected. Record Union.

A Charge Refuted.

The following letter fully explains itself. Its publication at this time is not made te serve any political ends, but in simrle justice to the gentleman whose character had been assailed upon the point treated The refuta- tion of the charge is full and ample:
 WASHINGTON, D. C., March II, 1889. MT. Wm. J. Osborn, Tucson, Ari- zona. DEAR SIR-Your favor of the 25th ultO. reached me here, having been forwarded from San Francisco with inclosure from the "Star" re- garding my old Nevada friend, Gov. A. P, K. Stafford, charging that he acted as an attorney for the Southern Pacific railroad while governor of your Territory. This charge I know to be false. He was never the attorney oi said company during the time he was Governor Of Arizona, nor did he ever solicit favor or receive dollar from said company while Governor of said Territory
 After his term of Governor expired he was employed as an attorney of the company and visited Washington or special service to obtain right of way across the military reservation at or Yuma for said Company.
 Yours Truly. C fN CAcD
