Honest Politics.
Lordsburg Liberal.

The democratic primary at Silver City Saturday night was said to be one of the most completely arranged and thoroughly conducted that has ever been held in Grant county. Ever since the grand jury adjourned Jack Fleming and Mex ican priest have been training a company of Mexicans. They had fifty-seven of them so that they could say in English ''born in New Mexico, been in county sixty days. in precinct thirty days, am a demo- crat" After the Mexicans learned this Jack drilled them on rising to meet ris- ing vote. He would have them all seated then at the wave of his hand they were to rise. They enjoyed and soon had it down fine. In the convention every thing went lovely for Jack, but one time on a rising vote he got up to vote no, and forgot to wave his hand. He was in front of his phalanx and did not see they were still sitting. He was suddenly brought to his senses by grooming vote in the back part of the hall saying: My God, Jack, we are beaten" Jack turned around waved his hand and in an instant sixty Mexicans rose to their feet with the precision that a company of regular soldiers would about face" The splend- idly executed maneuver was greeted with cheers and applause and the question voted on was buried in oblivion. It is needless to say that the Silver City dele. gation to the democratic convention is solid for Fleming for sheriff.

Another War Scare.

A Buenos Ayres, dispatch of Oct. 7th. says: A panic was caused here last night by the rumor that fresh revolu- ton had broken out. Troops were called out and patrolled the streets during the night. The police were rapidly armed with rifles and held in readiness at the central station. A special train was dis patched to Zarata for endorsements of artillery, which arrived this morning The cause of the alarm was the report of the police agents that attempts had been made to suborn two regiments.
 The situation is believed to be gravel than was at first supposed. Many Depu ties and Senators passed the night at President Pellegrin's house, and it i, stated that the Minister of War took the President and Minister of the Interior Boca to the barracks for safety. Admira Bordero prepared the fleet for action.
 LATER-The President has ordered tn, troops to proceed to Santa Catalina anC go into camp, leaving one regiment il the city Fears of revolution in l.; Plata have been dispelled

Our Figs Abroad.
Phenix Gazette


 Much has been said about the admir- able quality of the figs grown in the Salt River valley, but as matter of fact their bearing upon the future of this country is not even considered as yet. MT. Har- bert, in order to obtain an unbiased opin- ion of their qualities from a California source, shipped box of figs dried and prepared on the Bartlett farm, to F. Q. Story. prominent orange and fruit grow CT of Alhambra, Los Angeles county. MT. Story in replying to MT. Harbert's letter writes as follows:
 ''AIHAMBRA, CALL, Oct. l, 1890 Friend Harbert:- The figs were received and I left them at the rooms of the Cham Der of Commerce of Los Angeles. Sev- eral experienced fig growers and fig ex- perts have examined them and pronoun- ced them the finest figs they had ever seen in on the Pacific coast. Irwin, an expert, said they were worth twelve cents per pound here at wholesale.
 Respectfully, F. Q. STORY.

Unfavorable View.
Nogales Herald.

NOgaleS Herald.
 The Republicans of Gila county in thelr platform recently adopted say: We view with disfavor the effort being made to secure the admission of Arizona as a State, in its present undeveloped condi- tion. With population of only 59,691 and taxable wealth of $2s,050,2 ,T5, it would be folly for us to assume the in- creased financial responsibilities of state hood. And while recognizing the disad- yantages of territorial form of govern ment, we prefer to wait until such time as the increased population and the de velopment of Arizona warrants her admis- sion to the Union"
 Gila is the first and in fact the only county we believe to speak in that way, and it IS very evident the republicans up that way have not fully informed them selves as to the advantages of statehood. While the people up there have an excel lent county-one that is capable of a good deal in the way of mineral and stock production, they must remember that Gila is not only the smallest county in the territory but the one in which the least development is visible. What Gila needs is north and south railroad and one or two other connections and the statehood proposition will become al mighty popular with her people.

An Indian Estimate.

The Tucson Citizen has discovered writer who thus "sizes up'' the possibih- ties and the actualities of Indian reclama- ton. He says:
 Your correspondent cannot refrain from replying to an allusion made in recent report on Indian affairs, in which the writer regrets that the education of Indians meets with disfavor in the eyes of some who are evidently of cowboy tendencies and education. That writer should bear in mind that people who have resided for years in the territory and have knowledge of the Indian question in all it's bearings and who may also have lived once in the east under civilized conditions equal to some others who have recently come from there, and who pOssi- bly, hold educational diplomas, are better judges of what Indians do, or rather do not require than the so-called tender-feet.
 When those eastern philanthropists shall have come out from their sur roundings of ease. hewed paths through the wilderness at the risk of their lives and watered with their life blood the soil of the desert where they see the noble red man in all his moods and conditions they may learn to know them as they are, l degraded, dirty, immoral, lousy beings at | best. The most highly educated per son among them will come to think fal differently than now, with his imperfect | knowledge and experience.
 An Indian is, and always will be al Indian. They possess human feelings to q certain degree. No education car elevate him to the level of the white race, though he may be our superior iu certain instincts and ways suitable fol his condition. To certain extent 1t ii well to teach and train them, but it i' deplorable to see the sums of money squandered on the Indian when i might be more proitably used in mak ing good citizens of our own kind Quantities of merchandise, machinery, etc are yearly purchased that is neithe wanted nor made use of. It could b. put into other use with better results Only a few years since there were auc ton sales of condemned goods whicl simply meant things not needed"

Mark This.

Citizen, should notice that in the in structions sent from Washington to post masters for their guidance in carrying out the anti-lottery law, is this
 I'll. The term "lottery' as used in this Act embraces all kinds of schemes gener- al or local, for the distribution of prizes by lot or chance, such as gift exhibitions, enterprise concerns, rallies, or the draw ing of prizes in money or property at fairs. Hence, letters, postal cards and circulars concerning them, and newspa- pers, pamphlets and other publications concerning the advertisements of them are unmailable."
 This knocks out premiums to newspa- per subscribers, church fairs and rallies. A happy thought for the contemplation of candidates.

Reduction Works Needed,

There will be shipped from here to-mor- row something over 30,000 pounds of high grade silver ore to Fl Paso, Texas. This is only sample of what is sent out every few days. There is enough high-grade ore shipped from here right along to keep extensive reduction works busy major part of the time, and if we had the works here there would be a very lal ge increase in the amount of ore brought in for treat ment, as there is in mines near here which would pay to haul here, that is not high grade enough to ship to Denver or Fl Paso

Big Crown King Assays
Phenix Herald

David P. Wright sends word to his uncle, A. II. Peoples, that he is working his Grown King mine, in the Bradshaws, in connection with Frank Wager, Barney Williams and Fred Plumb. An incline was recently sunk p feet to the ledge and the ore struck, on assay by Wager, gave 227, 229, 767 and 1,272 ounces in silver per ton, as the result of four separate assays. The boys are highly encouraged over their prospects. Peter Erik and Mir. Peoples, say, that if reduction works could be es- tablished in Phenix it would start a score of mines in the Brawshaws and prove a very profitable enterprise for all concerned with the works or with Phenix.

The New Canal.
Ruckeye Blade

Redmond Toohey, who has charge of the excavation of the Tucson canal in the western part of this county, spent Thurs day night in Buckeye while on visit to his home in Salt River valley. MT. Too hey says all obstacles to the speedy com pletion have been settled in the way of claims of right of way ana other canals. The head is taken out of solid rock and is always safe and secure from overhows and washouts. The land covered by the canal is well adapted for the growing of oranges, it being a high mesa. The fa- nous hot springs of that place will be a noted resort some day and town of some importance will surely surround them.

INDIAN AFFAIRS.
Educational Advances Among the In dians--The Governments Policy.
Yuma Times.

una Times.
 Commissioner of Indian affairs, J. T. Morgan, is in the city on tour of the Indian agencies of the west He gives some interesting details of the present status of the Indian question. Last year l6,O0O Indian pupils attended the schools set apart for them. Congress this year has appropriated nearly S2,0OO,000, for Indian education, and about $5OO,0 over any year before. The Indian boys show an adaptability to work which Is surprising. At Carlisle last year, in ad- dition to the ITS pupils who have done the work ill the different shops, 400 were ont among the Pennsylvania farmers working by the month. These 400 have earned in wages during the year $l,600. A very interesting feature which Is being en- countered quite often is that the aban- doned military posts are being turned into school houses for the descendants of the Indians the forts were intended to sub due and keep in subiection Thus the arts of peace overcome and supplant the arts of war. The general policy of the Government Is to allot Indian lands in severalty just as rapidly as the Indian can be induced to take them; to give their children pratical education to prepare them to make the most of this land; to extinguish the Indian style of titles to the surplus lands, and then to throw the lands open to the settlement, the extent of which in round numbers amounts to 1S0,000 square miles. The number of In dians in the western country, Commis- sioner Morgan estimates at 250,000. This year about $7,000,000 will be expended in the maintance and advancement of these Indians So far as he can judge, there is steady growth in the advancement of the Indians throughout the Union.

Why the Northern Pacific is Favored
'rescOtt JournalMiner


 "Many inquiries have been made and much speculation indulged in since the state board of equalization made public the assessment of the various railroads in Montana, why the Great Northern has been assessed at $4,00O per mile and the Northern Pacific at $2,500.
 ''Ihe board, in session at Helena, Mon tana, September 18th, prepared an an- swer which explains the reasons for the difference. Section of the act creat- ing the Northern Pacific railroad ex- empts from taxation the right of way of the road through territories. No legis- lation has been made since Montanas ad- mission as a state. and the board de- clare that they could not assume that this admission abrogated this exemption. As the real estate of the road is exempt so must be the improvement thereon, and the board simply assessed the rol- | ling stock at fair valuation in order to save the counties endless litigation '
 The above item, from dispatches tc the Chronicle, is interesting to the peo- l pie of Arizona, as the charters of the companies mentioned in the dispatch are identical with the tax exemption clause contained in the act exempting the At lantic & Pacific railroad company iron taxation.
