The Product of an Insect and not of
 a Balsmic Shrub.

EDITOR CITIzEN:-Doctor Goodwin, among others and myself, seem to have labored under a great mistake when we thought that the red gum of the Creo- sote bush was an emulation of that plant. The department of agriculture tells me that, strange as it may seem it has been abundantly proven that this emulation is that of an insect and not directly of the plant. The incect in question is the Carteria larreae of Com stock, described in the annual report of this department for 1S81-82, page 211. This insect belongs to the Bark-lice or Coccidae and to a peculiar group of theses insects which secrete wax and lac in different forms. It is closely related to the insect which produces the stick lac of commerce and which is known as Carteria lacca. Another species has been described by Prof. Comstock which appears upon Mimosa in Mexico. This he calls Carteria Mexicana.
 F. c. NEsBIT,
 Acting Commissioner" This lac is to-day sold in all Mexican drug stores of southern California and of course of Sonora and adjoining states under the name of "Gomilla," and it takes powerful means of persuasion to make the people believe that it is not product of the plant.
 Yours &c.,
 JOHN A. SPRING.

THE Samoan question that at one time bristled with difficulties has smoothed its ruffled front and may prac- tically be considered settled. Germany has receded from her former beligrent position and under the direction of Bis marck has prepared statement for the Samoan conference, as basis for dis cussion. It has been submitted to and approved by Sir Edward Malet, the British Ambassador, who was in all probability consulted while it was being drafted. If the American com misssioners accept the statement the conference ought not to last more than week. Germany comedies the principle of absolute non-interference in Samoa, and the natives are to be left free to choose as their ruler Malieto, Tamasese or Mataafa. No claims for compensation for German subjects are mentioned in the statement, and, practi- cally, the work of the conference is limi- ted to defining explicitly the powers of Consuls in regulating trade and ship ping, the boundaries of American rights over Pago Pago and other victualling stations, and the formation of tribunal for the protection and trial of foreigners Bismarck's declaration that Germany does not desire to meddle with the in- ternsl affairs of Samoa, combined with the proposals to be placed before the Samoa conference, furnish ample proof that Germany earnestly wishes to con- cilliate the American government.

THE CITIZEN acknowledges with thanks, an invitation to be present at the Texas Press convention, to be held in Fl Paso on the 29th inst. Represen- tatives from Old and New Mexico, Texas, Arizona and Colorado will be in attend ance and general good time is prom ised. One of the important and inter esting features of the occasion will be a free excursion to the City of Mexico, arriving there in time to witness the i'm posing ceremonies in commemoration of "Cinco de Mayo" the national Mexican feast day. In the presence of such in ducements it is hard to say no. But be- fore going, however, We must get the Gazette back into the proper channels of journalism, punch up the democratic hangers-on to republican offices, see that Zulic gets fair return on his prison brokerage investments, and attend to the general spring opening of the repub- Hcan officers under the republican in cumbents. These things done We will pack our gunny sack and slide into the convention on the 9th of May.

OS Saturday last the Tucson "Star" published an article on the veto of the Coconimo bill, and credited John H. Marion of the Prescott Courier" with certain things in controlling the gover- nor's action thereon. We have it direct from Brother Marion that the card MT. Hughes speaks from must have been the kind used in seven up or poker, and that the 'Star" must have received its light from the consumption of home made gin or double-distilled rot, or words to that effect.

A Woman's Discovery.

Another wonderful discovery has been made and that too by lady in this county. Disease fastened it's clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed necessarily and could not sleep. She bought of us bottle of Dr. Kings New Discovery for consumption and was so much relieved on taking first dose that she slept all night and with one bottle has been miraculously cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus write w. c. Hamrick < Co, of Shelby, N. C.-Get a free trial bottle at Geo. Martins drug store.

SOMEBODY has written a report-it is charged against anyone of3or 4condem- natory of the Peralta Land Grant fraud. and submitted it to Surveyor General Hise for his signature. We have not seen General Hise in relation thereto, he having been confined to his room by illness for the past several weeks, but with our proverbial modesty We rise to enquire if it does not take pretty good sized chunk of cheek to make such a demand. The authorship. as above noted, is divisible honor ln which Gen. Hise is publicly said to have taken no part, in fact, this fact has been repeat edly published. This is not our fight, but to say the least the proposition as it now stands, can in no wise be consid- cred compliment to that gentleman whether in the light of ability or inte- gritty. On the contrary, it may truly be regarded as reflection on both, which we believe the general will be slow to sanction.

RESULTS OF IRRIGATION.

The results obtained under irrigation are almost beyond belief A large Cal ifornia firm has SOOOO head of cattle feeding the year around on 10000 acres of alfalfa. Of this grass, in Southern New Mexico, four crops of three tons each, or F tons per acre, have frequent ly been cut, yielding when fed to cattle at the stack more than S10 per ton. Five cuttings are often made, and fields hundreds of acres in extent yield from four to eight tons to the acre, according to the care bestowed, at three or four cuttings It is more than half net profit. Orchard products yield large crops ev- cry season, and the fruit sometimes sells on the trees as high as $500 and $500 per acre, an average production often real izing as much as s200 per acre, Grapes yield from 20 to 40 pounds to the vine, 700 vines to the acre, and sell at from 3 to 10 cents pound on the Rio Grande. Twenty thousand pound of sweet pota- toes per acre and 5000 pounds of beets are not unusual crops. Even under the slip-shod Mexican system of cultivation from 40 to 90 beshels of wheat and GO to 80 bushels of oats is but fair average crop. Such crops are the result of a ombination-strong land, warm eli mate, water under control, and intelli- gent cultivation.
 Among the practical advantages of ir- rigating, the control it gives of the sea- son to the cultivator is not the least. One need not wait for a rain to put the ground in condition to plough and plant. It may be done at any time, and only two or three days are necessary for dis tributing the water and giving it time to settle away to put the soil in just the condition required. At the various stages of plant growth the water can be supplied at will, to suit the requirements of the plant When the harvest is com pleted, not day need be wasted waiting for raln. Within two or three days again the ground may be in perfect con- dition for replanting. In the lower lati- tude from three to six crops may be raised from the same ground in sea son. Constant cultivation keeps the ground free from weeks, although if land is neglected weeks grow as luIur- iantly under irrigation as the useful plants. Crop failures from drought need never occur.-American Econo- mist

GOVERNORS RECEPTION,
A Splendid Success--The Opera House Crowded With the Governors Friends.

Tucson is always to the front when it comes to doing anything grand at the proper time and in the proper way. Ii was decided on the arrival of Governor Woltiey in this city on Saturday evening last, that he should be rendered public reception by his many friends here, to give him befitting opportunity of sec ing and and shaking hands with those who feel proud of the fact that Tucson was permitted to furnish the first home-rule governor for Arizona and that so worthy and capable man as Col. Wolfiey, who resided for years in this city, was the one favored with the call.
 The announcement was made yester- day that reception and ball would take place at the opera house last night at 8:30. The hall was cleared, the floor waxed and the excellent string band of Senor Hernandez secured. There was but little else talked of on the streets yesterday but the Governors reception, and all previous engagements were promptly cancelled, that all might at tend.
 At 8:30 people began to arrive and they were coming from every direction. The number who came and paid their respects could not be correctly estima- ted, for they were coming and going un- til after 10 o'clock, but it was sufficient to make clear the high regard in which the Governor is held here at his old home. The front of the building had been decorated with Chinese lanters by MT. Geo. Cooler, who is never wanting in patriotism.
 t930 a grand march was struck up by the band and the gentlemen took their partners and joined the line of march as it passed around the room headed by Governor Wolfiey and Mrs Royal A. Johnson. After the march came quadrille. This was followed by a variety of dances which lasted until F o'clock. Those who had the honor of dancing in the first quadrille with Gov ernor Wolfiey were Mrs Royal A. John son, Mir, Vim. Zeckendorf with Mrs. AL bert Steinfeld, Mir. Leo Goldschmidt with Mrs. Vim. Zeckendorf, pr. Hollow bush with Mrs. Herbert Brown.
 The attendance included all classes, the wealth and aristocracy of the city being we'll represented, and the recep- tion was all that could be desired by the Governor and his friends.

THE late teachers institute thoroughly demonstrated the fact that the county superintendent of schools should him self, have a practical knowledge of school duties. Teaching is a profession that is susceptible of daily progress and any attempt to resurrect the crude methods of forty years ago-simply be- cause they were in vogue "when was a boy"-can find no favor in this day of go-aheaditiveness. There may be halt, but there is no retrogression and he who turns and looks wistfully back at the past stands an exceedingly good show of being left in the race.

THE Gazette, evidently laboring un- der high pressure of Anhueiser has broken into a regular Peralta Reavis land grant ts77Sseat. s It howls against John son whom with prophetic 1Fision, it sees once more surveyor general of the Ter ritory, it howls because its own little gang of political tricksters are being pushed more closely to the wall. It howls against Secretary Noble who con- temptuously refused to heed its insane ravings, and snarls with malice and envy at the successes of Governor Wolfey. But it would be a disappointment to have it otherwise.

THE POLITICAL STATUS.

THE Democratic party of Arizona has long enjoyed the reputation of being an unknown quantity in emergencies of smoment, but its present status through the medium of its official ''hangers on" l" and the stultifying articles in the Phe- nix Gazette, amazes even its own re- spectacle adherents. It seldom falls to the lot of any political body to be com pelled to father the acts of such set of office holders as Governor Zulick saw it to entrust with the Territorial business, and that the respectable element of the Democratic party should openly rebel against the stigmas heaped upon the party at large on account of the avari- cious selfishness of a handful of incom- petents is not to be wondered at. Men that will occupy the unfortunate posi- tion of sacrificing their party's pride in order to fill their pockets, are not worthy of further party recognition, and should be read out of Democratic ranks. The time will come when the brains and sinew of the Democratic party will ap- preciate what a false light this little coterie of official mendicants have placed them in, and they will turn on the men whose desires for personal gain are in the ascendant over their idea of party fealty or party success, and spurn them in the appropriate manner their acts warrant. No political body can afford to be placed in the false attitude that the Democratic party now occupies, and the Republican party never had better workers within its own ranks than the little band of reputed Democrats who prostrate their party in the dust of their ill wind.

WE glory in Arizona and her interests are held pre-eminent to those of the en- tire southwest, and any attempt to ere ate new states, looking towards the dis memberment from her of even the most arid desert or impenetrable patch of cactus will be resisted vigorously.

THE commercial relations of the Unit cd States with Mexico are good. They should, however, be better, and it he hooves us to cultivate and foster trade and social relations with our sister re- public.

ARIzoNANs would not trade one of their counties for all New Mexico, more particularly if that county had to lose its identity as part of Arizona. The people of Arizona are pariotic, they bought their country at high price and they do not purpose to dispose of it so cheaply as our eastern neighbors appear inclined to price us.
