DEMOCRAT though he is, the EPI- TAPH rises to say that it congratulates the people of Arizona on having such 8 man as James H. Wright on the Supreme bench. When the man. damus case of MT. Cheyney came be- fore the court the other day in Phe- nix, and the lawyers began their usual tactics of quibbles and delays, the judge told them they need not resort to such methods, as the court was de- sirous of putting an end to the pres ent muddle, and that whether the lawyers admitted much or little the case would be decided. Such judge deserves the support of the people, re- gardless of politics.

MEXICO is gradually extending her foreign relations. A treaty has re- gently been negotiated with Japan that confers on Mexico more benefits than have been obtained by any other western power. Germany has not been slow to see the advantages con ferred by this treaty, and is endeavor- ing to negotiate-a treaty similar in its provisions, in the hope of wrestling from the United States and Great Britain the trade they now have with that country.

A company has been incorporated under the laws of Virginia to build railroads in South America and steamer lines to connect the same with United States ports. The pro ject, as described by its promoters, is ito construct line of railroad from some point near the mouth of the Magdalena river, which empties into the Caribbean sea, in the United States of Colombia, southwardly along the eastern flank of the Andes and the headwaters of the Amazon to points in Peru, thence to connect with the Peruvian and Argentinian system of railroads at present in operation or under construction. From the mouth of the Magdalena river steamships will be run to the southern point of Flor ida and to New Orleans, whence will extend railroad connections to our own chain of railroads"

A French engineer in recently published pamphlet suggests d perma- nent flooding of the interior of the Isthmus of Panama as a means of solving the canal project that M. De Lesseps and his company have had such i'll success with. M. Sautereau, whose idea it is, would dam the river Chagres at a point about fifteen miles from Colon, the Atlantic terminus, building high level lock there and another on the Pacific side, where the river Grande would be similarly damned. Thus with both ends of the canal already fairly completed and great artificial lake lying between only one obstacle, Culebra, would remain to be dealt with. This he would cut through at the floating line. Who ever may have seen the Chagres in its wild moods, when swelled by noun tain torrents it floods forty square miles of its valley, sometimes to depth of sixteen feet, or has seen the furious rush of the Caribbean sea will wonder at the temerity of the engineer who could suggest such a scheme. Even he seems not altogether satisfied with the practicability of building locks eighty-eight feet in height. Yet smaller ones would not suffice.-Sci- entifc American.

THE report now comes from Phenix that there is a chance that the Sun day law, which was passed by the last legislature, and which was supposed
 to have received it's quietus because Governor Zulick pocketed it, has been
 brought before the Supreme Court by interested parties, and that there is strong probability that it will be de- clared valid law by the court because it was not vetoed by the Governor, the court holding that the pocketing of bill does not defeat it; that in order to defeat bill passed during the last days of the session the Governor must formally disapprove of it. This being the case, it seems that Arizona is about to have it's first taste of religious legislation, a subject that is at present attracting considerable attention in various portions of the Union, a bill S66kluR IO uldhS lb Ltl1Ond1 l1ON DSlllS before Congress. Such legislation is repugnant to the feelings of the great majority of Americans, for they feel that it is matter with which our law makers have no right to meddle. It savors too much of the union of church and state, principle against which the founders of our government set their faces. This Sunday law bus mess was tried several times in Cali fornia, and was always failure. If by mistake of Governor Zulick and the mistaken zeal of a few impractical people, who think people can be made good by law, and wish by law to force their peculiar views on others, this law shall be declared valid and en- forced, it will be only for few months, for it will surely be made an issue in
 the coming election, and we have no hesitancy in predicting that it will be overwhelmingly defeated at the polls.

The claim wholesale grocery house of St. Louis recently made against the South Shore railroad brought to light the fact that, at least in some quarters, dirt under the name of terra alba is being used in candy to an almost in credible extent. It was a half dozen barrels of lozenges made by Boston house that had been shipped, the claim being that they had been dam aged in transit The railroad com pany sent samples of the lozenges to a chemist, who discovered them to con sist entirely of terra alba bound to- gether with little gelatine or gum. Investigation showed them to yet re- quire dipping in sirups favored with peppermint, wintergreen, sassalras and the like, before being ready for infan- tile consumption. Now, terra alba is a mineral utterly insoluble in the saliva or gastric juice-a dangerous compound to put within even heal thy stomach; and when the railroad company learned this they refused to pay any damages and the grocery house, fearing exposure, ceased to press the claim. The Board of Trade Journal, of Portland, Maine, says that 5000 tons of terra alba were recently through the port of New York alone.

Estimating 9 head to a car we have an aggregate of 79,350 head shipped from New Mexico and Arizona points tributary to this portion of the Santa Fe. It means the sale of about S0,000 head of cattle produced in this section of the southwest worth upwards of $1 ,O0G ,0O0 and has increased the trans portatiOn business of the road about one train per day. The importance of the northern range market for the young stock bred here is shown by the large increase in the shipments for May and June over the other months. It was at that time that northern buyers were making shipments. An other noticeable feature is the way the business has kept up during every month from April to the close of the year. The railroad was hardly pre- pared for this large volume of busi- ness. It found itself deficient in stock yards and in rolling stock. It is pro- bable that shipments would have reached 4,000 cars could the cars have been furnished when wanted Esti- mates for the coming years indicate that the business will be at least double that of the past Arrangements are already being made for spring ship ments that will be in excess of the total of 1SS9 The Santa Fe company is enlarging its yards at important shipping and transfer points to meet present and prospective demands of this important business.-San Marcial Reporter

Waltzing is on the decline, says the great Johann Strauss, who has proba- bly, written more dance music than any other living man, and who is the chief representative of family which for three generations has supplied po- pular waltzes to the public. Why is 1t declining? Because the waltz is too fatiguing and heating, takes too much room, and does not allow the young people chance enough to talk when mammals out of hearing, on account of the velocity of the movement and the need of avoiding collisions. He is resolved to make the dancing world try a new movement "less hustling and breathless than the waltz, and al lowing more time for Irritation"

Some time ago Joseph J. Speck, of Kansas City, learned of the existence of certain alleged miraculous stone found in southern India which would heal wounds of all kinds, particularly snake and dog bites, and any sore from which hydrophobia or lockjaw might result. To learn more of the wonderful curative powers of the stone, MT. Speck addressed letter to a native of Bombay. The Hindoo re- piled that the stone is supposed to be found in serpent's head, and is rarer and more valuable than the most costly gem. The Hindoos and the wild, savage natives place great faith in its power, and guard it as sacredly and carefully as they do their idols and gods of metals. The owner of this particular stone advertised it and offered 1t for sale in an American newspaper, and it was this advertise ment that MT. Speck saw. The owner of the stone wants $50,000 for it.

Perhaps the readers of the EPITAPH would like to know in what respect Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is better than any other. We will tell you. When this Remedy is taken as directed, as soon as a cold has been contracted, and before it has become settled in the system, it will counteract the effect of the cold and greatly lessen its severity if not effectually cure the cold in two days time, and it IS the only remedy that will do this. It acts in perfect harmony with nature and aids nature in relieving the lungs, opening the secretions, lque- fying the mucus and causing its expul- sion from the air cells of the lungs and restoring the system to a strong and healthy condition. No other remedy in the market possesses these remarkable properties. No other will cure cold as quickly or leave the system in as sound a condition. 50 cent and one dollar bottles for sale by H. ].

Tribune Lisbon dispatch gives the follow
ing information regarding the shooting of
Mrs. Stevens, wife of one of the leaders in the
last house of representatives: About G
O'Clock tonight Mrs. Stevens, wife of II. N.
Stevens, was fatally shot. In the afternoon
Mr.. and Mrs. Stevens went for drive in
the country, and took shotgun. By mis-
take they took the wrong sized shot, and
when they returned they laughingly told
some friends of their error as they
drove through town. Arriving home, they
got the proper shells and returned to the
river, few rods in the rear of the house,
where are generally few ducks on the
water: moment or two after, Mr.. Stevens
was heard wildly calling for help. Some
men rushed mp and found Mrs. Stevens
lying on the bank of the river dead, having
been shot through the head. The charge
entered the base of the brain just behind
the right ear: Mr.: Stevens is crazy with
grief, and full particulars cannot be OBJ
tanned.

Herald,
On the contrary the southern states
are going ahead with remarkable strides.
The New England and Middle states
are losers in the race. Superintendent
Porter in a census forecast the other
day estimated that in the past decade
Arkansas had gained 100000 population;
Alabama 100000, Mississippi 225.OOO,
South Carolina 100000, Louisiana 275,-
600, Kentucky 100000, Georgia 100000,
and SO on. Many of these states have
made greater gains than western states.
Kentucky, for instance, which had o.
GOO less inhabitants than Iowa in 1880 is
now estimated to lead her western sister
by that much. The southern states &C
cording to Mr.. Porter will show a total
population this year of twenty-five mill
ions as against only twenty millions for
the combined New England and Middle
states and twenty three and half mill
ions for the Western and Pacific states.
The south will have greatly increased
representation in congress under the
new apportionment.
