Judge Barnes.

The Grand Jury which has been IN
vestigating the robbery Of United
States Paymaster Wham at Tucson,
was discharged by District Judge
Barnes OH Monday lsst. Judge
Barnes was informed chat the jury,
on September 2Sth, had telegraphed
Attorney General Miller, asking that
another Judge try the cases of the
parties indicted by the Grand Jury,
inasmuch as Judge Barnes by his re
marks in open court, had tended to in
timidete witnesses for the Govern
ment. The Judge, on diseharging
them, stated that in criticising the
Courts language they had committed
contempt. The Bar Association has
telegraphed q resolution to the De
partnent of Justice sustaining Judge
Barnes. Another jury will probably
be called.
The following is copy of tele-
gram sent to the Acknowledgement al
Washington, which has raised the
rupture between Judge Barnes and
United States Marshal Meade:

the United States Grand Jury now in
yestigating the Paymaster Whau
robbery cases, have indicted seven OF
! The alleged robbers, We have eNi-
dence flat other persons took part il
the robbery, but not sufficient to in
dict them. While in the midst of our
investigation, while the suspected rob
bers and their relatives and friends
are endeaVoring to corrupt and in
huence the Governments witnesses tC
withhold their testimony from thi:
Grand Jury, one of them having al
ready been indicted for that ofeRse
the Judge of this district, from thu
bench this morning on motion tt
perfect the bail of the principal de
PENDANT in the presence of the Govern
ment witnesses and a crowded court
room, made some remarks evincini
strong feeling between the Court ant
and the officers and witnesses. Tn
result of the Judges remarks and man
ner will be the decentralization of tn
Government witnesses soon to appea
before the Grand Jury, the suppress
sion of testimony invaluable to tn
United States and of great damage t
the interests of good government i
this Territory. To avert this calanit
and to serve the ends of justice W
most respectfully ask that one of tn
other Judges be forthwith directed b
telegraph to proceed to Tucson to pre-
side over this court during the dell
erations of this Grand Jury and tn
trial of this case.

Arid Lands.

Major Powell ofthe United State
Geological Survey says that i'll the
great West there are 100,00O,OOO
acres Of land, now arid and wholly
vaIueless, which can be made pro-
ductive by irrigation. This was
said in response TO questions put to
him by the Arid Lands Committee
of the Senate, and it is understood
that the committee will report the
advisability of Congressional ap-
preparations for surveys in arid
districts.
This is, of course, the first step
toward the reclamation ofthe arid
lands; but it is interesting to take
step farther and to see what the re-
suit of the statement made by
Major Powell may be, when the
United States has perfected and
put into operation a comprehensive
system Of irrigation.
AS the arid lands are now they
are absolutely of no value to any
body. The Government could not
give then away, to say nothing Of
selling them. 1t has been estimat-
ed that it will cost the United States
about $lOO,O0e,O00 to make these
cultivable by providing them with
a regular supply of water for irriga-
ton. When this is done the lands
will sell readily at an averrge Of $40
Der acre, so the account will stand
in this way: Cost of reclamation,
| $1OO,O00,000 cash received from
sale Of reclaimed lands, 100, 100000
acres, $40 per acre, 1,O00,0 900;
profit to the United States on tran
saction, s900,000,000; or more than
the actual amount of the national
debt at this time.
But this not the best or strongest
argument in favor Of retaining the
; arid lands. If the United State;
should pay out 100000, 900 and
: not only not make a profit on the
? land but not even get back single
cent of its outlay, still it would be
S good speculation; for the country
a could we'll afford to buy cultivablt
land for the people at 81 per acre
e To add lOO,OoO,OOO acres to thu
S tillable land of the United States is
to create homes for generations ye
unborn. It creates territor.
/ nearly as large as the republic O.
France, which supportsa population
), of38, 900, 900 people, and all this thu
Government can get for 81 an acre

The Bananas History.

The banana or plantain { MusG sap1. |
eastsam and 1fusa paradiSiaca of Lin
naus; M,ts0 sapiesstetm of BROWN,
was thought to be a native of Asia
only, and carried into America by
Eu, opeans, until Humboldt expressed
his doubts as to its being only of
Asiatic origin. He quotes many old
authors to prove that the plantain was
cultivated in America before the time
of Columbus. Brown, in the year
1918 ("Plants of the Congo" page 51),
saws that there is no difference in the
bananas of America and Asia that
would prevent us from chasing them
as of the same species. The Greeks,
Romans and Arabians mention it as d
wonderful fruit tree. Pliny says the
Greeks of Alexander's army saw II
growing in IEda. Sages sat in its
shade, and from this the botanical
name of Sapiemtum. Matso from the
Arabic naaus. Plumber says it was
called thus for Antonius Musa, the
freed man of Augustus. Candalle
states that "the specific name Para
disincn comes from the ridiculous
hypothesis which made the banana
figure in the story of Eve and of Para
disc. 1t is a curious fact that the
| Hebrews and the ancient Egyptians
did not know this Indian plant"
Though the plantain and banana are
generally considered as different, Lau-
reioro, Foster and Guertner cannot
find any specific difference, and they
agree that Linneus' classification OF
two species is insufficient. Guertner
united them under the character OF
the one -celled berried fruit. From
| the discussions of eminent botanists
on this subject, we can dcduce that g
| large banana is a plantain, and q
small plantain IS called a banana.
The name of plantain is derived from
the Spanish name Plctano, by which
name this plant is always known il
Spanish countries, the name banana
never being used 1t forms spurious

"that it was almost as much as q

In Decidedly Bad Taste.

Rochester Post-Ex press, Dem.
The dispatch of Allen q. Thurman
to Grover Cleveland in regard to re-
suit of the election in Ohio was in
very bad taste. It was to this effect:
"Governor Foraker has surrendered
all the Republican flags in Ohio" 1t
recalls a very discreditable occurrence,
and recalls it in a way to indicate that
Messrs. Cleveland and Thurman are
rather proud of it. AS the order sur
rendering the flags was bad in 80 far
as it confounded the Union flag with
the Confederate flag; as it was vicious
in policy, tending to keep up war feel
ing; as 1t was illegal in asserting the
executive right to give away National
property, and as it had to be revoked
in the face of the popular indignation
that it aroused-the less that men
like Cleveland and Thurman say abcsat
it the better. For the former il ought
to be an especially sore subject, since
in revaking the order he sneaked out
of all responsibility and threw the
blame on 3 subordinate, pleading that
he had given 1t only q hasty perusal
and a. formal approval

said Pasha" Successful" Held
by the Enemy Notes.
The first opera company of this sea-
son drew q tremendous crowd at the
opera house last night, and before the
curtain rose every seat in the house
was sold and standing room was diff
cult to procure. The Thompson opera
company appeared In the late eastern
success, "Said Pasha. This opera Is a
bold burlesque, full of gags, puns and
comedy business, but it has some right
pretty music, although no catchy
airs. It's chorus is very light,
and its sOloists have no reserve
strength III their voices, yet the
tenor, Will. ). Rising, has a voice
OF tolerable sweetness and fiexi-
bility, and Miss Blanche Chapman's
soprano is clear and we'll cultivated.
She was great favorite in San An
tonic and Monterey, Mexico, years
ago, when she appeared with the
Hess English opera company. Now
the marks of time are upon her face,
and her form, once SO Yoluptuous, is
now slender to leanness. Greensfel-
der's baritone is throaty. Miss Car
ris Godfry sings well and made the
best impression last night. The
opera is laid in the east, in onstanti-
nople and in India, and the colors
are warm and picturesque.
The honors of the evening were car
ried off by the comedians, II. l.. Rat
ten berry and Ed Gavan. The latter's
inimItable "why," brought down the
house frequently.
"Said Pasha" was repeated for mat
inee and will be repeated tonight, in
stead of ERA Diavolo," which was
originally advertised. FRA DiavOlo"
has many friends in San Antonio who
will be greatly disappointed, but the
company say they have not the or
chestra 10 produce it.
Tomorrow night "Held by the En-
envy" will begin three days engage
ment at the opera house.
