The Late Captain Dawson.
A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO ONE OF NATURES
NOBI,EMEN.

BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO ONE OF NATURES
NoBI.EMEN.
BALTIMORE, March 19-Ata meeting
the following resolution was adopted -
The Society of the Army and Navy of the
Confederate States in the State of Mary
land having heard of the tragic death of
their friend and comrade in the army,
Captain Frank W. Dawson, of the staff of
the Army of Northern Virginia and for the
last twenty years a distinguished citizen of
Charleston, 5. c., hereby place on its
records this testimonial of their admiration
for his character, of their love and respect
for bis memory, of their sympathy and
tender affection for his widow and his
fatherless children. Alien in birth alone
he was by blood, by affection, by devotion,
our brother, endeared to all by his nobility
of soul and his sacrifices in defence of our
homes, our hearths, and our liberties. In
the whole Army of Northern Virginia there
was no soldier who made more distinct
impression on large circle than did this
staff officer of Fitzhugh Lee for chivalry,
generosity, gallantry, truth, and devotion.
He was in life and IN death defender of
the defenceless, a protector of the friend
less. True, honorable, and brave, he has
left bis widow and children priceless
heritage of love, respect, and the sympathy
of all honorable people over this land
And it is ordered that a copy of this testi-
monial be sent to his family.

LIKE old Ben DItier, :he editors cf the Epitaph and Gazette may he ca;,eG about all names except fuoIs. Not being so catalogued, we know they cannot honestly believe that Governor Wolfiey would have refused to clli the Constitu- tional convention, except that he corsid- cred the opinions from the Attorney General and Asst. Attorney General in the light of department instructions. his entire correspondence having been through the Department of the Interior. No fair-minded man can read the Gov ernor's letters of June 2Gth and July 2Jth without admitting that they contain true, unbiased sta.s.n3Gt of facts. as re lates to our laws, anl without a sinGi word to the prejudice of the Convention Act. On the contrary, he calls especial attention to the serious effect it NOul9 have on a large portion of our Territorial laws to have the Attorney General de eide it illegal We know that Governor Wolfey holds that all our laws, includ- ing all of the 18th are legal, and he has never varied from that opinion. The March 10th opinion of the Attorney General was not asked for by him, and was long before he became governor, and he therefore does net consider himself bound by it, but having twice asked the department and twice been answered that the Constitutional Act was illegal, he does consider himself bound to act under them. Did he do otherwise, his relations with the department would bt made very unfr;erdly and they would probably never again comply with bis request for advice and opinions. Your outcry, gentlemen, will not alter the real meaning of those opinions, and you can rely upon it that the Governor has com piled with them in not calling the con vention.

Very Risky Indeed.

To tamper with symptoms indicative of growing kidney disorder; to neglect for brief time needful stimulation of the renal organs when thelr inactivity points, as it always and unmistakably does, to their eventual permanent dis ease, is certainly very risky indeed. Tins is however a risk that many persor s perceptibly drifting into Bright's dis ease, diabetes, catahr of the bladder &c., constantly incur. So those who read, reflect and heed the lessons of recorded experience, the advisabihty of using Hostetter's Stomach Bitters 2s diuret- lc, need scarcely more than suggestion. No fact is more generally admitted by the medical profession and the pubhc than its efficacy for the prevention of serious renal disease. The unmedica- ted excitants of commerce, no matter how pure, bear in mind, react prejudi- cially upon the kidneys when inactive. The bitters subdues malaria, constipa- tion and rheumatism.

WE hope for good results from the Committee that will inpect the pro- posed route to Globe. If on their return favorable report be made we have no doubt but that the entire amount need ed to build the road will be speedily raised. Every property holder and busi- ness man in Tucson is interested in the work, as is also the county at large. A good wagon road bnilt through Pima, Pinal and Glla counties will do much to develop the country and facilitate the transaction of business. No road can be opened between any two towns in the Territory that does not contribute its full measure to the development of the country. In the present instance the boards of supervisors of the several counties interested will in all probability contribute something towards the pro- position and private enterprise can be depended upon to furnish whatever else be needed.

EAsTERNCATrLEMARKET.

4 Courier man called on Hon. John G. Campbell yesterday to learn the status of the cattle market in the East, he having recently returned from trip to the great cattle marts. MT. C. said, in substance, that there was a great diversity of opinion among men who had been in the cattle business for twenty years or more, some thinking there would be no change for the better in future prices. while others held an opposite opinion; but, a careful ca vass of thei matter showed that large majority of them thought prices would range higher late this fall That there are q number of cattle in the country now and the com ing demand will be for feeders, as unusually large crops have been rais- ed in Kansas and Missouri, and the only profitable disposition that can be made of them is to buy cattle and feed over winter. That the farms of that whole section of country are hopelessly mortgaged and the farmers regard their large crops in the light of misfortune, as they do not realize half so much for them and have the cost of harvesting a double quantity for the same or less money. That, at Kiowa he met Mr. Randell, an old Prescottite and engineer, who lived here for eight or ten years, but who is now a real estate agent, who gave him the truej in sight into the deplorable condition of the tillers of the soil thereabouts; told him of ten quarter sections adjoining each other, and all improved. that could be bought for slight advance over the mortgages; that most of the mortgages are about matured and numbers of farms could be bought for an advance of from S25 to $50 over the mortgage; that plenty of good land could be bought for s4 an acre. In past years shelied corn brought from IS to 2J cents pe; cwt. 1t now sells for I2l cents. There has been no recent change in the cost of transportation of cattle from this sec tion, the rate being $40 per car from Ash Fork to Kansas City. aEd 5l25 from Winslow, from which latter point Mir. Campbell ships.-Courier.

Ressonable and Human.

Hours of labor are eXacted in certain employments, which cannot be main. tained without running the constitu. tions andforbiddingt the home pleasurei of the hapless people obliged to com
 ply with them. The Vienna strike and the equalization of the tramway company furnish lesson. Public as sociations should consider, before they are compelled, whether their dealings with those who serve them are equitl- able, reasonable and human. It may vel happen that arrangements must often be continuous, that good men cannot be spared, and that there must be long spells of work. In that case an honorable directorate will establish a system of relays and reliefs; it will not wear its personnel out body and soul, as though they were brute beasts: though, indeed, animals are constant y treated better than human beings, We would invite all omnibus, railway, tramcar and public societies generally to study these occurrences at Vienna iu the light of the certain truth that 1t E better to do justice spontaneously than to have justice forced upon you. The best work and the biggest dividends are not got by screwing the last drop of strength out of willing and necessi- tous creatures. There must be kindli- ness. consideration and fair play be tween employers and employed if the worlds affairs are to go on pleasantly and surGessfully.-London Standard.

COMMISSIONER J. 4. Black will do more to advertise the resources of the Territo- " than all the Commissioners combined have done since the days of Hon. Pat rick Hamilton. Ever since he assumed the duties of his office he has worked continuously for the good of Arizona. No one particular county has had his ex- elusive attention but it has been given to the Territory as a whole. We have said this before and unhesitatingly re- peat it that when John A. Black secures the full possession of his office to which he was lawfully appointed, we will be much mistaken if he does not speedily demonstrate to the country bis fitness for the office entrusted to his keeping.

IT would be an excellent advertising proposition for the whole of Central and Southern Arizona, for the several counties making reports to the irriga- tion committee to have about ten thou sand copies of thelr reports printed for free distribution to home seekers. Let every county issue its own report, or join issues with one or more neighbor- ing counties and publish under one GOV CT. Better advertising material was never compiled

Painters of Adyertisements.

Since the laws prohibiting defacing natural scenery were enacted the adver- Using companies have cut down their regular statfs of painters to very small proportions. Before that time they em- ployed gangs that were us emulous, reck- less and irresponsible as the attaches of 0 railway advertising car. The risks they took to daub their letters on some promi- rcnt but almost inaccessible crag made thrilling stories when they gathered of winter nights to swap lies around the blazing logs It was life of hardy ad- venture that was very attractive to enter prisns young fellows, and many took to 1t for that reason alone. Latterly, how ever, it has been reduced to better sys- tenn Nearly all prominent places have given value which must be paid the owner. Local painters are engaged to do the work, and Bohemian jollity is a thing of the prSt.-New York Graphic.

THE results of the recent visit of the Senatorial Committee has been to collect and condense about all the facts obtain able concerning the present condition and progress made by the Territory Nothing, perhaps, is contained in a sin gle report, that has not been previously printed in the local newspapers, but their compilation offers a splendid op- portunity for sending out to the world official information concerning this Ter tory. The Commissioner of Immigra- tion could find no better material for pamphlet than the reports of each coun- ty on the subject of irrigation and re- claiming arid lands. They all contain the facts as to what has been already done in that direction in Arizona, and this is what the people want to know before going to a new country. What has been done is indisputable What can be done is yet in the future.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 1.-The national conference of charities opened
 n the Union Square hall this evening. Many eastern delegates were present. The object of the conference is to obtain and refuse information respecting bene- volent, charitable, penal and reformato- " work.

The session was followed by a reception at the Occidental hotel.
 ALBUQUERQUE, September 11.-Brake- men on the second division of the A. < T. are out on a strike on account of the discharge of two freight conductors. At a meeting of the Brotherhood it was agreed to strike if the men were not re- nstated. The company will not rein state them, but it is believed a settle !ment will be reached, and freight delay ed but two or three days.

Artillery i'm the Future.

As the range of guns in the field is augmented battles will more than ever be prepared by cannon, batteries will open fire at distances of miles, and the adversary's batteries must, at least, be weakened before infantry can venture to advance, except under very peculiar circumstances. The power of modern cannon is so tremendous that, when hos tile batteries come into conflict at any thing like reasonably near distances, viz. from 1 800 to 2,500 yards, the duel can scarcely last long. We shall see no can nonades like that directed against La Haye Sainte, which lasted for hours, and the victory will belong to the artillery chiefs who. with anything like an equal !ty of force, lay their guns best, take most accurate aim, avoid salyos and wild discharges, take care that their men are not hurried, and, above all, can en- 6lade their enemy-a process now more than ever destructive.
 For the reasons to which we have re- serred before the system of artillery re- serves should be given up as completely obsolete; no efforts should be spared to bring forward every available gun as quickly as possible, and the organization ,f the three arms should be so arranged ss to secure this object, the pieces and their trains being always kept in close contact with the rest of the army an5 capable of rapid moment to the front. For the rest artillery should be always ready and equal to contend in the field with infantry; it should consider itself more powerful arm in anything like aD equal struggle, and once it has been placed in its true position it should, fl possible, never fall back. At the same .ine, in our judgment at least, artillery. owing to the vast spaces of battlefelds in modern war, may on many occasions be greatly imperiled.--The Academy.

A CALL signed by the chairman of the republican and democratic county com mittees of Maricopa county, has been issued ito confer as to what action shall be taken if any, in the premises" on the refusal of Governor Wol1ey to call a constitutional convention. It is supposed to be the purpose of said Mar lcepa county committees to take the bit in their own mouths and issue a call whether the governor will or rot. The project was set afoot by the Democratic committee who invited the republicans to a conference. We await with breath less suspense the result. We are glad the call has been made, and we further hope that the democratic chairman of the Maricopa county central committee will cordially invite participation in the conference by other counties, as we are anxious to see how many of them will haste to respond. We are pleased to see this Maricopa county conference AlOfCA1Sht DuS oAOOl, tlS ON li1'S tllSduS IL will be shown that while the proposition for constitutional convention lies near to the hearts of few aspiring and un- principled politicians, it finds no favor with the people. This fact we have dem onstrateo and we are willing to stand on the issue. But by all means let the call for conference be made general; it will cost the Territory nothing, and we are willing to wager that there are not two counties in the territory that will re- spond with both party committees. The whole thing is a roaring farce, and as such it will be proven if the wet nurses of the movement undertake to play their little game in other counties. The peo- pie don't want it and won't have it.

THE Tucson Public schools opo n 70 yesterday. There was an unusually large attendance for the first day, and the indications are that the school will be an improvement on any former one. Thirteen teachers are now employed, and it is believed that the services of another will be required by the first of October. If the primary school is es- tablished in Buell's addition two more teachers will be needed.

HE Maricopa county committees that are to settle the statehood question. will meet on Saturday next. The plan of the Gazette is d combine of the republican and democratic county central com mittees, and through them a call is to be made for constitutional convention, but the Herald proposes to have the call made by counties as was done in WyCm- ing. Either plan will suit us, as either one will show the temper of the people But right here we wish to remark that both the pet schemes aforementioned will never get beyond the confines of the county in which they originated. Un- der the committee call, as we said yes terday, We do not believe that the com mittees of any two counties will respond, and under the Wyoming procedure by which the supervisors of the several counties take upon themselves the re- sponsibility of ordering the election in question, we are of the belief that Mari copa county will be obliged to lean up against herself for support to the very doubtful proposition. The press of the territory, with three exceptions or pro bably four, are opposed to the statehood call, and we are satisfied from what has been learned by diligent inquiry, that the people are against it, regardless of politics, by at least ten to one. If left to vote and Maricopa county voted solidly for it the other nine counties would vote as solidly against it. But however this may be we are glad to see the project tried; but it must be without expense to the people, inasmuch as the great majority of the tax payers would consider any such outlay as unnecessary and consequently unwelcome.
