Farmers Complain of the Boil worm-AIli-
ance Convention Called.
Special to the Gazette.
CISCO, TEX, Aug. "a number of
farmers of this county have expert
mented with lamp traps to destroy the
worm-breeding fly. Of about dozen of
these farmers who have been interviewed
by THE GAZETTE correspondent but two
claim any benefit from the lamps. All
agree that large numbers of flies have
been destroyed, but they are not missed !,
nor is their depreciation on the cotton
plant checked. 1t is said by some that
the lamps attract the flies and that fields
in which they are not used suffer least.
In some localities the boil worm is I'M
usually bad. Rain is now much needed
to make cotton mature before it is serl-
ously damaged by the worms. -.
An alliance convention is called SeS
meet here on the 18th inst, the object of
which is to establish other enterprises at
this place in connection with the mill and
gin now owned by the alliance. Several
counties will be represented in the con-
vention, and important results are ex-
pected.
Mr.. Jack Beall, an enterprisiug rock

that country NEIheEs,. has been durin g,
the past decade a constant growth in the
favorable conditions for the use of Amer

for enlarging and extending the COM

trade with Mexico is already eOnsdera-

American capital has gone into Mexican
railways and continues to flow in that
direction. That it will bring a favorable
return there seems no doubt.
Exports from Mexico to the United
States have been gradually increasing.
Gold and silver, which in ore, bullion and
coin forms more than two-thirds of the
nation IS exports, is a commodity in which
our people should and do feel an especial
interest. Out of total of little more
than twenty-six million eight hundred
and forty eight thousand dollars in pre-

ing che fiscal year ending June 80, 1887,
more than thirteen million two hundred
and sixty thousand dollars, or nearly

THE trouble about the disposition of the Johnstown relief fund is its size. It IS too big for charity andnot big enough for insurance. So we hear of men who figure up their loss at 5000 being dis gusted at the offer of 580 relief. Such men have been looking at the s2.OO0OOO fund as if it was the surplus of an insur- ance company, whereas it is the result of an appeal to charity. From the be- ginning the people of Pennsylvania have dealt with the Johnstown disaster in bad fashion.
 The local authorities abdicated their functions; the State Executive saw no better way to deal with the occasion than to deal with military methods without declaring martial law, and there has been vacillation and pickering to the disgust of the country. All this is Tn marked contrast with the ease and ra- pidity with which Chicago dealt with the great calamity of fire, and Charleston in disposing of the relief fund sent to her to repair the losses of the earthquake The Capital.

BALTIMORE, August 10.-A special from Washington gives an interview with Dr. Hammond relative to the Brown Seguand's elixir of live. He declared that that the sensational publications about this new preparation were not authOriZ- ed or justified in any way. The doctor asserted that the new remedy was be- lived to be in the nature of a tonic, which it was thought would be- bene- ficial especially to old people. He de- nounced the foolish story that it was going to prolong life indefinitely, or restore old people to youth. Neither he nor Brown Seguand has ever called, it the elixir of life.
 CINCINNATI, August 10.-Dr. Harper of.the city infirmary. has tried the Brown Seguand elixir on five inmates of the iniirmary. They were all iniirm men, over 70 years of age, except one, who was about 10, but who was a rheumatic cripple. The doctor reports that only one observed sany result whatever, and he said he felt like he had taken aleo- hOlic stimulant. The doctor concludes that the results found elsewhere are the result of mental excitement.

Reasonable and Human.

Hours of labor are exacted in certain employmentS, which cannot be main. tained without running the constitu- tionsand forbidding the home pleasure: of the haplcss 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 equiti. able, reasonable and human. It may well 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 6 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
 by reason of their marketable value. We would invite all omnibus, railway, tramcar and public societies generally to study these occurrences at Vienna in the light of the certain truth that it is 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 successfully.-London Standard

PIMA'S WEALTH.

The abstract of the assessment roll, as published in Thursdays CITIZEN, shows total valuation of taxable prop erty of 3,805, ,293,44, which is s64, ,5l5, less than was placed on the assessment roll of 1888, when the total was S3,S70, ,293.44; This, to those unacquainted with the two assessments, would indicate that there had been falling off in the taxable property, when in fact there has been a healthy increase. One year ago common stock cattle were placed on the roll at Sl0 each, common bulls at S20 each, graded stock cattle at S12.50, graded bulls at $40 each, mares at s15 each. this year common stock cattle are as sessed at SS.50, common bulls at SS.50, graded stock cattle at S12.50, graded bulls at S25 and mares at S10. Had com mon stock cattle been assessed this year at last years rate, the difference in this single item would swell the present roll at least s150,0OO, or an increase over last year of about s10O,OOO. Common bulls are
 
 assessed at S11.50 per head less this year than last; while the difference on graded bulls is S15 each, and on mares $l0 each. Another tax item of S25,000,that appear ed last year and is missing this, was the assessment of the Southern Pacific I'm provment Company, who were then en- gagged in building the new railroad track at the cienega, near Pantano, and who have since left the country. The prop erty of the Gunsight Mining Company, was last year assessed at s22,OOO, but has dwindled away until it only appears this year at S4 5000. There was a falling off of mining and milling property alone, of between S70,OOO to S8O,OOO. On the whole the assessment really shows an increase of property of over S20O0OO.

THE Phenix Herald, in commenting on "Hon. Brewster Cameron's argument that Arizona cannot be admitted to the Union,". imputes selfish and dishonor- able motives to all who have the temeri- ty to oppose the holding of the Consti- tutional convention. It says:
 ''Of course there are those who do not and never will see any benefit to be de- rived from Arizona as State, but ev- eryltlme on close examination it willsbe found that the real bottom of such op- position is merely personal interest and not the public welfare. For this very reason most of the street corner polti- clans of Arizona are using their in tiuence against statehood, Many of a higher grade are opposed to it, but like their brethren, the bottom facts of the opposition is personal interest, a matter which no good citizen will let stand in the way of public development, and a matter too that will be remembered by the public in the future"
 Of course, the motives of the Herald man and the few others. now agitating in favor of the proposed convention and increased taxation, are pure and unde- filed. The greed of gold and self inter est have been laid, aside. and the pure love of unselfish patriotism beams and blossoms at the thought of statehood. There is no street corner statesman ship about these gentlemen. Oh, no, nothing but highminded statesmanship. Will some of the street corner politi- cians who oppose the convention let go some of their self-interested ideas and fall into the open arms of the intensely patriotic and unselfish Herald man Se- lah.

ARTISAN WATER EVERY
 WHERE.

The senate committee on irrigation be- gan its investigation in Minnesota few days ago. They went from that state
 into Dakota. At almost every point Tn Dakota the committee was shown arte- sian wells. Between Huron and James town the committee found successful
 artesian wells at Hitchcock, Redfield, Aberdeen and Columbia The following dispatch comes from Aberdeen, Dakota:
 Senators Reagan and Stewart, of the senate irrigation committee, arrived in this city this morning and were met by large crowd. An exhibition of the force of the city's artesian wells was given, and public meeting held at the opera house, at which both senators spoke at length. They announce the conviction that irri- gation by artesian wells is practicable, and Senator Reagan said that land now worth from s6, to s10 when properly
 irrigated, would be worth S50Ean acre. @
 Fl Pasos neighbors are moving in the matter of artesian water. News comes from Los Angeles that move to sink an artesian we'll is on foot. Subscriptions are being rapidly raised, and a company will be organized, officers elected, and a test we'll sunk in town or on some of the farms near town soon. If artesian water
 can be secured at, reasonable cost, the water supply question is solved. The Lipen fiat, one of the finest bodies of land on the globe, will be made to blossom
 Ike a rose if dozen artesian wells can be sunk on it's broad, level plains. If the move is successful you may look for a decided advance in prices of lands in this section. Irrigated farms are the finest in the world. There can never be failure !, of crops.
 Some definite move should be made in | this city by the first of September. If | we are to have artesian water let us have | it at once-El Paso Times

Territory and a fraction over four per cent in South Dakota will go far to ac- count for the difference in the proposed organic provision for education. It is worthy of note that the four Constitu- tional Conventions which were called together in response to an Enabling Act of Congress, have, through committees, been in constant inter-communication, so that the views and suggestions of one body have been the common property of all.-S.

Epoch.

The transition from long. lingering and painful sickness to robust health marks a epoch in the life of the indivi- dual. Such a remarkable event is treas ured in the memory, and the agency whereby the good health has been at tained is gratefully blessed. Hence it Is that SO much is heard in praise of Flee t-ic Bitters. So many feel they owe their restoration to health, to the use of the Great Alterative and Tonic. If you are troubled with any disease of Kid neys, Liver or Stomach, of long or short standing you win surely z find relief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at 5Octs. and SI per bottle at Geo.
