ACCORDING to an exchange, W. H. H. Clark, of St. Louis has found means of purifying water, which is only novel as to the mode of preparing the purifier. He' simply dissolves alum by pouring boiling hot water upon it. Only one drop is necessary for gallon of water. A teaspoonful will clear barrel of water, carrying all the solid and vegetable mat ter to the bottom. Mir. Clark thinks that the water in reservoirs could be thus cleared and settled at the cost of twenty-five cents for every million gal Ions. provided the alum is dissolved in hot water. Alum has long been used as purifier of water, but whether it has before been prepared according to Clark's formula we are unable to say.

THETRUE INWARDNESS.

The true inwardness of the Constitu- tional Convention move in Phenix, is a thoroughly selfish one. The Gazette and the Herald want the printing. They remember that the Prescott Courier asked S3,500 from one Legislature and got S2,5OO,so it can be easily understood why they favor convention.
 If any one of their citizens opposes it they at once noise the cry, ''he is opposed to our valley" and so the party or par ties knowing their ability to abuse are whipped in to its support.
 Of course the saloon men and hotel men favor it because it is certain to bring them patronage. So do you fine chronic opposers to improvements gen orally" in favor of this, because it will bring money directly to their pockets more than the taxes will take out.
 When asked if they expect to get in as a state, very few will claim that there is even a possibility of that for years to come. When told that it IS not fair to tax the other counties for the benefit of Phenix. they virtually claim that Phe- nix is the Territory, and that to oppose the wishes of Phenix is treason, deep dire treason.
 Now, gentlemen of Phenix, the other portions of the Territory fully under stand your motives to be purely selfish and we do not intend to pay taxes our selves just for your benefit. Not that We have a single unkind feeling towards you, but because we need our money at home. It is outside money that We all want, and if you can show us some scheme of that kind, that will be of ben eft to the entire Territory, we will join you heart and hand.
 But take our advice. do not be too selfish, 1t makes enemies of you all over the Territory, and in the end tends to create an unfriendly feeling that is in- furious to the whole Territory.
 Do what is fair and right and you will find us your friends. We are for Ari- zona and not for portion of it, as against the whole, and there is no one portion of it for which We have kinder feeling than for your fair valley.

WEEKLY CITIZEN.
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 2S. 1889
THE LAW WITHIN AND WITH
 OUT.

The protest that has come from the
 workmen of Yuma County against the
 employment of Territorial convicts at
 work without the walls of the pehiten-
 tiary, is without parallel in the annals
 of Arizona Either the men whose
 names are attached to the protest have
 lied outrageously, or the men who have been conducting the Territorial prison have outrageously broken the law in
 placing the tabor of convicted felons against honest workmen. For the first time in the history of the Territory its officers have been guilty of seeking to debase honest labor by placing on ssthe same plane with 1t that of criminals. By doing so, MT. Behan and the men who surround him in the ladminlstra- tion of the affairsl of the Territorial pri- son. have said that honest labor has no rights which they were bound to res pect: although the law of the Territory expressly and forcibly provides that under no circumstances shall any of the inmates of that institution be allowed to labor without its walls In the face of this provision MT. Behan has, it appears, seen fit to farm out the york of the Ter ritorial convicts and thus deprive the honest laborers of Yuma from earning a livelihood; for the reason that they can not compete with men of the strpe that Mir. Behan has sent out into the labor field against them. Clothed and boarded at the Territory's expense, Behan's couvicts could undeT-bid China men, let alone the Caucasian labocers of Yuma. Whatever wages they received were to them, and to the men who farm cd them out, clear bargains. The temp | tation to turn a penny was to great to | be resisted, and rather than lose the coin in sight. Behan and his under lings broke the law, and by doing so | placed themselves on a level with the | men inside the prison walls The only | difference between the two, being, that | those within the walls were convicted | law breakers and those without were | not. But the rottenness of the Territor | al penitentiary under the men who have | been guilty of thus farming out prison | labor has been so notorious that they | probably thought one crime more or less amounted to nothing so loLg as they feathered their own nests, as they must have recognized their own reign would be soon cut short.
 Nevertheless. it is not alone to the workingmen of Yuma, but to the tax payers of the entire Territory, that such official corruption should be vigorously punished, to show to the world that off cial position is no protection to the wrong doer in Arizona.

MEXICO visits severe condemnation on her officers for illegally entering the ter ritory of the United States. The chief participants in the Nogales complication are serving out life sentences in Mexi- can prison, and now comes word that the military supreme court of Mexico has sentenced Capt. Munoz and Lieut. Cabrer, of the Twelfth Cavalry, to ten years imprisonment each, for participa- tiop in the Eagle Pass affair about year ago. So far as the Mexican government is concerned both women and, deserters are safe when once within the lines of Uncle Sam's domains If the Americans want a cause for war they will not get one if Mexico can heal the breach by the punishment of her own subjects for any infraction of international law

At Col. Durr's Place.

It was learned yesterday from the Colonel himself, who was taught to al- ways speak the truth by his good grand mother, that since he moved his business | from Meyer to Congress street, his bus | mess had increased in volume from day to day. He now sells one car load of John Wieland's beer every three weeks, and more than a car load of Anheussr- Bush beer. in the same length of time. Beer is only one branch of the large business now carried oRby Col. Durr, at his corner on Congress street.
 Swiss cheese is received in ponderous cases direct from the old country, and his sales amount to over 700 pounds month; also California cheese is hand led in large quantities, and the finest of Limberger cheese is always kept on hand, though the sales are nOtenormous- ly large.
 His cigars are all made specially for him and are sold at wholesale and retail.
 THE wARUM DARUM BRAND is we'll known and has no superior for the price. The latest brand is the Tip peeanoe, and it is equal to any cigar to be had in this market.
 Queen olives, the best ever offered in this market, are received direct from Spain, in huge casks.
 In the cellar is kept fine Sherry wlne, dozens of barrels, and everything that is better by being kept in cool place
 Whiskey is received from not only all over the United States, but much direct from the old country, three or four of the best brands made in Hamburg. In one room alone, the reporter counted
 1J0 BARRELS OF wHIsKEY, and including wines and brandies, his present stock would not fall short of 300 barrels and kegs. Also choice brand of mescal is handled for the benefit of those who like it.
 Besides, all the finest bitters known to mankind, are kept, many of them being imported. In fact, everything in the way of saloon supplies is kept, and noth- ing but the best quality is sold.
 IN ANOTHER DEPARTMENT was found bacon, ham, lard, ,pickled pork, dried fish of all kinds, corned beef, tongue, pickled tongue, pigs feet, saur xraut and vinegar, crackers, tobacco, chow chow, deviled ham, ham, berger eel, and every table delicacy. new was exhibited: a box of fried lax, one of the finest fish known, and found onlyin the waters of Norway.
