Away in the Lead.

The J, P. L. Popular Store, as usual, is far in the lead of any of their compet- itors in the selection of their spring and summer novelties.

ON the demise of General Crook, the CITIZEN joined all southern Arizonians in expressing the wish that General Miles be appointed his successor, he be- ing, by those who had the best of reasons for knowing, adjudged the most worthy among the many claimants for the dis tinguished position made vacant by death. This could readily be done with out disparagement whatever, to any oi his gallant competitors for the place.
 President Harrison, with a wisdom and foretbought that aid credit to him self and administration, recognized the justice of his claims, and appointed him to the vacancy. The General, now in Washington, Is said to bear his honCre lightly, and with the modesty that be comes a true soldier He will leave for the Pacific coast in a few days. Inter viewed on his successor by a press cor respondent, he sad: Il have not been informed as yet whether or not I will be transferred from San Francisco to Chicago. Nothing has been settled. l do not believe, however, that even if l should leave the Pacific, that Brig. Gen Grierson will take charge.

BAReARIc VENGEANCE.
An Instance of the Horrors of an Execu-
 tion in TOnquin.

tion in TOnquin.
 It would be hard to exceed in the way of horrors the account given in the Tonquin papers of the execution of the notorious insurgent Van by the French authorities. The condemned was pa raded through the streets of Hanoi in a wooden cage like wild beast, save that his neck was bent with a huge ban poo over the inscription upon his breast: You Van Van, Traitor and Perjurer" 7" Multitudes of people thronged the streets and gathered round the scafrold, which the condemned man mounted with manly step. Here his sentence in French was read aloud, and then in- terpreted to him. It is a curious detail in the scene that the official intruSted with this duty actually carried in his body at that moment an unextracted bullet received from the pistol of the terrible Van in an encounter long ago. The twain recog- nized each other. The culprit's turban and upper clothing were then pulled of, leaving his breast naked and revealing scars inflicted both by ball and saber. A compassionate as sistant cut off his long hair and stroked him as he bent his head to the block, and Van lay motionless. The execu- tioner stood on the left, a gong rang out thrice, and before the echoes died away, the saber flashed through the air. and the insurgents head rolled away to the edge of the platform. It was picked up and thrown to the mob almost before the glaze of death had come over the eyes, and barely escaped the disgrace of being seized by parish dog. The crowd, hitherto silent. invaded the scaf- fold with shouts, the only motionless objects being the executioner, who wiped his sword on the trunk of the redoubtable Van NJ. Sombsthay, the Minister un- der whose supervision the execution was carried out, is, it is said, to have the Legion of Honor for his work, and the executioner's sword has already been presented to him with great pomp.- Boston Herald

At Col. Durr's Place.

It was learned yesterday from Ire Colonel himself, who was taught tO ai- ways speak the truth by his good grand mOther.t that since he moved hts business from Meyer to Congress street, LIS bus mess had increased in volume from day to day. He now. sells one car load of John Wieland's beer every three weeks, and more than car load of Anheuser- bush beer. in the same length of time.
 Beer is only one branch of the large business now carried on by Col. Durr, at his corner on Congress street. Swiss cheese Is received in pOnderOus cases direct from the old country, and his sales amount to over TOO pounds a month; also California cheese is hand led in large quantities, and the finest of Limberger cheese is always kept on hand, though the sales are not enormous ly large.
 His cigars are all made specially for him and are sold at wholesale and retail
 THE WARUN DARUaI BRAND IS well known and has no superior for the price. The latest brand is the Tip pecanoe, and it is equal to any cigar to be had in this market.
 Queen olives, the best ever offered in this market, are received direct from Spain, in huge casks.
 In the cellar Is kept fine Sherry wlne, dozens of barrels, and everything that Is better by being kept in a cool place.
 Whiskey is received from not only all over the United States, but much direct from the old country, three or four of the best brands made in Hamburg. In one room alone, the reporter counted
 155 BARRELS OF wHIsKET. and including wines and brandies, his present stock would not fall short of 800 barrels and kegs. Also Q choice brand of mescal is handled for the benefit of those who like 1t.

THE Silver Belt is on the right track in the plea for justice to the sufferers from Apache depredations Many of these depredations involved loss of life, | others involved property; the former money cannot recompense, but the latter should be made good. The Indians are the wards of the government and the government is-or at least should be- responsible for their acts. r there is q class of men on earth that are deserv- in.s veil of our government, 1t the the early settlers of the west, for it is due to them to-day that the nation is as great as it is. All the hardships and perils of frontier life, the isolation and the dan gers attendant upon the settlement of a than their daily bread Human foes, the most dreaded of all, too, often de stroyed ii. one fateiul hour the accumu- lations of a life of hardship and toll. An Indian outbreak on the reservation was worse to be dreaded than a pestilence. Nothing that came in their fell way was safe from their bosom of destruction, The helpless as, well as the strong, the weak as well as the brave, went down be- fore the savage blast. The hot breath of the dreaded simoom was not more fearful Tn its ravages than an outburst of fury from these government words-palnted iends. The losses incurred at their hands should be made good. If man keeps a pen of wild animals and they break out and destroy life and property, he, the owner thereof, would perforce be compelled to make good the loss. Justice demands that the government do like wise. For years the losses sustained by frontier men at the hands of the h. dians, have been before the government for settlement, but apparently the day for such things is as far off as ever. We do believe, however, that if these cases were properly laid before the pre- sent administration. they would be al- lowed and ordered paid. There are many families in Arizona today, widows and orphan children, to whom such help would come as a Godsend and we hope to see it come. It is thers by right, and and we sincerely trust the government will so see it.

 EAST SAGINAW, Mich, April 1.-The steamer Sandy Bar" running between Saginaw and Bay City ran into rail road bridge yesterday. The upper deck was carried away, and the passengers and crew numbering about thirty were nearly all swept into the water. In all a dozen persons are known to have lost their lives. Carelessness on the part of those in the boat is given as the cause of the accident. Captain Dolsan escap- ed to shore, but the police are hunting for him. Engineer Little iand Wheel man William Trump are under arrest. LATER.-The accident to the steamer Sandy Bar" yesterday seems to be the result of gross negligence. The man at | the wheel was inexperienced. A cur | rent carried the boat along so rapidly that he lost his head at the decisive moment, and turned the wheel in the wrong direction. In his excitement he then tried to signal the engineer to stop, but instead signalled "ko ahead full speed" The boat struce the bridge and l all the upper works were swept into the river. Many were saved by a small craft putting cut from the shore, but some were Jst. The number IS believ- ed to be seven, but as no bodies have been recovered, it is impossible to say how many are drowned.

PROTECTION IS ANECEssITY.

History shows that whenever the tar if on foreign products has been material
 ly reduced, the industries engaged in
 making corresponding products here have ianguished; that when the repeal of inimical laws was long delayed disas- ter has ensued, and in some instances the affected industries have been aban- doned altogether. In view of such facts, it is important that voters should not lose sight of those results of Protection without which a diversity of industries would be impossible, except through re- duction in wages to the level of other countries. The free trader admits this by his contention that Protection en- courages, by enhanced prices, the build ing up industries that otherwise would find no footing in this country.
 Among the benefits resulting from Protection is largely increasing de- mand for labor, by which it is possible for every man to get work of some kind if he really wants it. This comes from the diversity of employments afforded. We have now some sixty six millions of people in the United States, about one fifth of them head of families. All these cannot be farmers and earn enough to buy the necessaries of life. They could raise enouge to eat. and large surplus Tn addition; but there is not in all the world demand for farm products suffi- cient to pay for their other household necessities-such as clothing, furniture, cooking utensils. carpets, etc.-if these were made in foreign countries. Out side of farming, there is absolutely no at which the majority of those who are compelled to work for a living could engage and earn enough to keep themselves and families from want. Hence it is, that diversifcation of indus tries, which can be secured only through the policy of protection, is necessity to individual comfort and family main tcnance as we'll as to national growth and independence.

FIR. FLOWER ON IRRIGATION,

Roswell P. Flower, the democratic congressman from New York, made a very limited examinat ton of the arid lands problem during a visit to the Rocky mountains last summer, and now he bobs up serenely in congress and op- poses everything which has in view the reclamation of western lands by water storage or any other method wherein the national government is expected to lends hand. MT. Flower belongs to that superficial class of eastern states men who believe that the country is going to the demnition bow-wows be- cause of the lover production" of fruits of the soil. He admits that irrigated land producs the largest and best crops. and on this account he thinks no relief should be given in the way of encourag- ing the farmers in the west, and points out how manifestly unfair it would be to the poor eastern farmers. Mir. Flower depreciates the fact that the rail roads, by giving western products fair rates to the eastern saaboard, has well nigh Impovished the eastern farme g.. He owns up frankly to the greatress of the west, is hustling its people and its fruitful soil, and practically pleaos with congress to protect the east by refusing the west just demand. In one breath he talks of cheape ming lands by.irrigation, and in aro her he cites the fact that California lan1s worth original ly 5o cente per acre have by the con- struction of irrigation canals attained present valuation of e300 per acre. Mr. Flower appears to be guilty even of at tempting to cook his own quoted statistics in order to make a showing against the ard land regIon. Through out, his opposition Is full of weak points, which any western man would have no difficulty in showing up.
 The New Mexican has no favor for many of the irrigation schemes proposed in congress, especially those fostered ,tyI Major Powell of the geological sdrvey,
 
 open raid shall be made upon the pub lie treasury to render the west the desir- ed relief. There are other and all around faircr methods; the states and territories themselves can attend to the details if congress will but provide the machinery, and 1t will not cost the na- tional pOvernmant A cent
 However, there would still be large balance in favor of the west even were this relief to coms direct from the pub lie treasury. One instance may be cited l to illustrate: How many millions of 1 western taxes have been squandered by Congress in the so called river and har- Dor appropriations, expended almost | wholly in the east? It would be but | fair, if these figures could be got at, to | demand that a lIke sum now be taken | out of the public treasury and expe1d- ed for the sole benefit of the west New 1 Mexican.

DOMESTIC FOG SIGNAL.
How Cow Once Upon a Time Saved
 Whole Ships Crew.

How Cow Once Upon a Time Saved A Whole Ships Crew. The COW is a useful animal, as every one knows It would go hard with man kind to do without milk and beef; but the commonest objects are sometimes put to uncommon uses, and an English officer, who was on his way to India. de- scribes how COW saved whole ships crew, not by supplying them with food. but by lifting up her voice.
 The ship had to put in at the Cane of Good Hope, and we arrived of Table Bay toward evening. As we rounded Green Point a dense fog suddenly came on. and we could not see fifty yards from the ship.
 The cable had been got up, ranged along the deck, and bent on to an anchor; the courses were clewed up, sail shortened, and under the three topsails the captain, keeping the lead going, steered as near as he could guess for the center of the bay, intending to drop anchor when we'll in.
 All at once one of the passengers called out: 'I hear a cow!'' We all listened, and all heard it distinctly. The anchor was instantly let go, the ship swung round head to wind, and i'm mediately we heard the roar of heavy surf breaking on the shore, how far off we could not tell, but it seemed terribly near. The water shOaled rapidly, to- ward the stern, and all passed an un- comfortable night, for if the wind should get up, our fate would be sealed.
 The early morning light showed us our perilOus position; instead of steering for the center of the bay, we had been standing over to the low. sandy shore opposite Cape Town, and but for the lowing of the COW, accidentally heard by passenger, in less than two minutes we should have been on shore.-Y Youths Companion.

The Blessing Of Strong Ner-

Is recoverable, not by the use of miner
 al sedatives, but by recourse to efectua
 tonic treatment. Opiates and the like
 should only be used as auxiliaries, and then as sparingly as possible. Vigorousl nerves are quiet ones, and the most di- rect way to render them so, is to rein force the vital energies. That sterling invigorant, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, will be found all-sufficient for this pur- pose, since it entirely removes impedi- ments to thorough digestion and assimi- lation of the food, so that the body is in- sured its due amount of nOurishment, and consequently of Stamina. Rheu- matic tendencies and affections of the kidneys and bladder are also counter acted by the Bitters, which IS besides a pleasant medicinal stimulant, infinitely purer than the raw eXCitantS of com mel,e. which react injuriously upon the nervous system.

His faults were few and his vir- tues many. During the last great tar. if struggle in congress, although the hand of fateful disease bore heavily upon him, he championed the cause of Americans against the free trade theo- ries of Europe, and should h s life be spared, he will still be found an ardent protectionist of everything American.

THIS is the day set by the cranks for the destruction of San Francisco and Oakland, but we expect our telegraphic report from there all the same. The only losers to the transactions are the deluded fools who took stock in the madman's prophecy. Some sold their property for almost nothing, and fled to the hills for safety-from their own fears. The coming nightfdll will un- doubtedly find such gudgeons wiser by the prce of their property, but not richer by their loss.

IT looks much as though Arizona is to have land court whether they will or no. If it be such court that the inter- ests of the people will be protected, it will be a blessing to the territory, but if it fall under the control of the unpaid grant claimants, that spring up and spread their designing hands over the most favored portions of Arizona, its es- tablishment will be source of lasting regret. It can be of incalculable benefit if it will, and it can be as great an evil, if it be that way in clined. However We all join in hoping for the best.
