A LeprOuS ChInaman.

Speaking of lepers, gentleman who at one time resided in Fl Do rado county says he knows of one Chinaman at least whose bones will never be returned to the ''Flowery Kingdom" as is the custom of the Chinese in this State. 4 Chinese leper lived for many years at Union town, short distance below Co loma. He was a most hideous looking individual, bloated, discOl- ored and a perfect mass of putrid- ity. The Chinese refused to asso- ciate with him, and he lived alone in a deserted miners cabin on the banks of the American river. He was a curiosity to behold, and few saw him save those who visited him in his lonely cabin out of curiosity and those who called and left him provisions at the door of his dOmi- cile. His fingers fell off one by one as did also his toes, and he said his entire body was dead, he having lost all sense of touch.
 One day it was noticed that he did not show up No smoke curled out of his chimney, and the whites who lived in the ncighborhood came to the conclusion that An Foo was dead. A visit to the cabin revealed the fact that the Celestial, tiring of life, had ended it by suicide. as his bloated carcass was suspended byI the meek from a rafter. The Chi nese in the neighborhood refused to touch the polluted body, and a man by the name of Cal Montgom- cry cut it down, rolled it upon a sled, and, hauling it up the hillside to an abandoned mining shaft, drop ped it in, and the remains of the dead leper went tumbling down 100 feet.-Sacramento Record Union.

The Tropical War Scare.

Perhaps Costa Rica and Nicara- qua would like to fight about the Nicaragua Canal and perhaps they would not. The desire for Central American unity which recently led the five republics to take steps in the direction of federation may have yielded to the thirst for gore and glory which is chemically prev alent in tropical latitudes, but even if 1t be true that Costa Rica is mass ing 2,000 soldiers and 2,50O Major Generals on the Nicaraguan from tier, and that Nicaragua is prepar- ing ta resist with a regiment of mil ltia and thirty-seven brass bands, there is no cause for alarm. The Nicaragua Canal happens to be un- der the protection of the United States. We have no objection to any amount of carnage. that may slake the Central American craving for excitement, but when American citizens are investing $100,000,000 in an enterprise that is to revolu- tionize the commerce of the world we propose to put up sign bearing in legible letters the legend: "Keep off the Grass" The Nicaraguan and Costa Rican Major-Generals may hack one anothers' throats as much as they please, buff they in- terfere with the canal they will find themselves in the mild but firm grip of Uncle Sam's police.-S.

DeSp0tiC Wealth.

The National Economist tells a solid truth when it says:
 "Capitalism is but the modern development of despotism. Its sole aim is She increasing of it's power and the absorbing of all values. It bases its rights upon legal enact ment entirely, regardless of the means used to secure such enact ment. It assumes that law is the embodiment ofright, the condensa- ton of justice; that what law de- clares, must, in consequence of such declaration in such form, be right and just. According to such theory the vilest outrage, perpetrated in the name of law, becomes unques- tionable equity; the foulest..robbery merely the enforcement oflaw. Hes itating at no means that will secure its ends, this kind of justice IS al- ways onthe side of force"
 But the Economist does not go far enough. Capital truly regards the limitations set by law as tie bonds of honesty or as lie said above, whatever is legal is honest, but if it does not suit capital to obey the laws, where it was pos sible to evade them, it has done so. In other words, Capital is without conscience and without regard for the law, if it seems to be to it's in- tereSt to disregard either. Itseems to be rule almost without an ex- ception that the possession of money makes a man mean. Neri- ly it was Divine wisdom which said: "How hardly shall they that have riches enter the kingdom of Heaven ''-EX

Of Interest to Subscribers.

A postmaster is required to give official notice, (returning a paper does not satisfy the law) when a subscriber does not take his paper from the office, and state the reason of its being taken, and neglect to do so makes the postmaster re- sponsible to the publishers for the payment.
 Any person who takes a paper from the post office, whether direct ed in his name or that of another, or whether he has subscribed or not, is responsible for the pay.
 fla person order his paper dis continued, he must pay all arrear- ages, or the publisher may continue to send it until payment is made, collect the whole amount, whether it be taken from the office or not. There can be no legal discontinu- ance until the payment is made.
 If the subscriber orders his paper to be stopped at a certain time, and the publisher continues to send it, the subscriber is bound to pay for it if he takes it out of the office. The laws proceeds upon the ground that a man must pay for what he uses.
 The courts have decided that re- fusing to take newspapers and pc rlodicals from the post office is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud.

The census of 1890 will reveal many wonderful changes. The cen tral line of population will be much nearer the Mississippi river than it was ten years ago. Over 16,000,000 acres of land were sold in the last fiscal year under the operation of the homestead and timber culture law, More than 124,000,O0O acres have been settled in the last eight years, representing larger area than the states of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan. Great changes have been made in the northwest ern group of states and territories, comprising Dakota, Nebraska, Min nesota, Wyoming and Montana, where nearly 60,000,000 of acres have been settled in the last eight years. In the southwestern group, comprising Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico, nearly 30,000,000 of acres have been occupied.-Rural World.

ATeXas contemporary rises in its wrath and says:
 And now comes Georgia and ac- cuses Texas burros and broncos with importing into that state flea that eats into a ducks head and kills it. What kills the Georgia ducks is probably starvation and malaria. Alligators are known to shake themselves to death in the Georgia swamps, and it takes sev- eral generations of good Texas air and wholesome food to restore to a Georgia cracker" a semblance of health and intelligence.
 Don't let the Georgians talk you into believing such trash. Texas is a great state and is blamed for many ills, from Texas fever up, but don't ruin the reputation of Texas heas.

Shippers of steers must get over the short-sighted policy of crowd ing too many steers into cars. Where does the profit come in this business. Dan Kyle of Socorro county, had train of steers through Las Vegas not long ago and it is due only to the fact of the cars be- ing terribly overloaded that he lost, by their dying, something over ff- ty head before he got as far as Las Vegas. Now does it pay to lose S500 or $1 ,000 worth of steers to save about $100 on freight? Leav- ing out the mere matter of dollars and cents it is fearfully cruel thing to jam stock into cars until suffoca- tion point is reached. It is a bru- tai thing to crowd the steers so that if one should get down there is no room for him to get up and it is stamped to death. Apart from the question of money saving and that of humanity shippers must remem- Der that the laws ot the territory now protect dumb brutes. At the last meeting of the territorial legis- lature a law was enacted making Q heavy punishment and penalty the result of abuse of or cruelty to an- imals. So shippers will please bear in mind that they can avoid the penalty of the law by not crowding the stock cars.-Stock Growers.

The press of this Territory, says the Journal-Miner, is agitating the question of securing all possible in- formation for the Senate committee concerning the feasibility of water storage. If that committee will visit Prescott arrangements can be made here to take them to Walnut Grove where they can be treated to practical illustration of it by view ing lake of water two miles long by threequarters in width and from 70 to 100 feet deep. They can be shown also in the immediate vicin- ity of Prescott, box canyons similar to the one where the Walnut Grove damis built, where other dams could be successfully built and waters stored in them conveyed to rich placer grounds as well as to rich agricultural lands. If the Senate committee fails to visit Prescott and vicinity it will miss the great est opportunity for obtaining infor- nation that the Territory can fur nish on this subject.

Wool In a Strong Position.

We never knew a season in which wool-growers have had less to say about local values of wool, but the intelligence received is sufficient to show a prevalent confidence for a long time unknown. Producers know the ground they stand on, and display little, if any nervous ness as to the outlook. The ner- vousness this year is on the other side. Evidence is accommodating every day that manufacturers are realizing that the situation is not in their own hands, and are ready to come to terms. Thirty-three to thirty-fve cents looks like a pretty solid basis for choice washed feeces now, and it will not be surprising if still better prices are realized for desirable clips. This is the grow ers' year.-National Stockman.

Two Yuma squaws had a lively
 fight a couple of days ago on Sec
 ond street, says the Yuma Sentinel. They discarded the bright-colored wrappers, which they usually wear across their shoulders, tied their hair firmly in loop, so as to ob- tain a good hold, and with cool de- liberation and no back talk, placed the right hand in each others hair, and commenced pulling, with a gen. tie swaying movement, which rap Idly grew faster; meanwhile the left hands were busy scratching and punching. A large number of bucks and squaws, silently but interested ly viewed the fight. The combat ants fought fercely fully halt an hour without word, groan or ex- pression of any kind, not ceasing for a moment the hair-pulling ex- ercise, until an officer came by and them. The squaws ap- peared but little hurt, and their black eyes were flashing with ha- tired. From Indians present at the fight, it was learned that the cause of the row was the old story-jeal- ousy.

The wealthy coal operators of Indiana called upon the Governor of the State and protested against expression of sympathy for the strikers, who complain of the low wages which they received. The capitalists declare that they will close their mines rather than sub init to an increase of wages. So much for the toilers who thought that under a high protective tariff their existence would be under a perpetual sunshine.-Courier.

The Arizona Kicker.

For the last six months Major Davis, of this burgh, has lost no op- portunity of abusing us and boast ing of what he would do if we did not step softly. The reason for this conduct lies Tn the fact the Kicker not only called him a horse-thief, but proved him a bigamist besides. Last Saturday the Major, who has no more right to that title than mule has to that of professor" borrowed a shotgun and gave out that he had camped on our trail and meant to riddle our system with buckshot on sight. Word was brought to us, and although we were very busy at the time superin- tending our combined weekly news paper, harness shop, grocery, ba- zaar and gun store Gall under one  roof, and the largest retail cstab- lishment in Arizona ], we laid aside our work and went over to Snyder's saloon in search of the Major. We found him, and we gave him such a whipping as no man in this town ever got before. He lies broken and stranded wreck on the shores of time, so to speak, and the doc tor says it will be six weeks before he will find any more trails or do any more camping.
 The boys got after a stranger the other evening who was pointed out as a horse-thief, and ran him up to a limb. In some manner he gave them the slip, and in their zeal they got hold of Judge Downey and held him up to a limb for over a minute before the error was discovered. The Judge is gu-guning around with a sore throat and stiff neck and threa- tens to bring about fifty damage suits.
 Take a friends advice, Judge, and hush up. You got off power ful easy, considering your general character. While it was a mistake, the boys were not so far wrong af- ter all. We wish such mistakes would occur Oftener.

 The matter of water storage is re- ceiying considerable attention in the Territory just now, and by next winter we trust the public will be sufficiently aroused on the subject to make a general demand for as sistance from the general govern ment, both for water storage pur- poses and the sinking of artesian wells. A general public demand on these topics, made in syste- matic manner, may possibly attract a little attention in the east.-Phe- nix Herald.
