Mr.. C. ALONG RETURNS TO CHINA.

On the 18th inst. Mr.. Chun Along,
who came to these Islands in 1S49,
left on the S. S. China for the home
of his birth. By patient toll and
strict integrity he worked his way
from a poor boy to wealth and
esteem. Throughout his whole
career he has ever held his word to
be as sacred as his bond. When his
first store, near the old theater house,
uninsured, was burned, and his
fortune was swept away, his creditors
were willing to take what little there
was left in satisfaction of their claims
and give him new credit. Though he
owed many thousands of dollars he
said, " No, if you will give me time
I will pay you in full" and he did
it. At one time his confidential
clerk procured on forged drafts in
Mr.. Afong's name over thirty thou
sand dollars, and while Mr.. Along
did not consider himself legally
obliged to pay it, rather than allow
innocent third parties to suffer at the
hands of one in whom he had reposed
an important trust, he paid every
dollar without hesitation.
Mr.. Along is one Of the few who
have been able to overcome the pre-
JUDGES 80 common to his country
men, and for many years has almost
entirely adopted the European style
of living. He has ever been open to
argument, and among the first to
adopt improved methods. AS a con
sequence, in all his enterprises he
has kept in the foremost ranks.
From merchant he became sugar
planter, and his Pepeekeo plantation,
which he recently sold, was one of
the finest sugar estates in the King
dom.
Mr.. Along was at one time Chinese
consul, and after, a member of His
Hawaiian Majesty's Privy Council
of State. To his beautiful home in
Honolulu and his seaside villa at
Waikiki there was standing invi-
tation, and the whole community, as
also strangers from nearly every
land, can bear testimony to his kind
hospitality.
Every one will wish him a safe
passage, pleasant sojourn and a
quick return to this, his adopted
| country.

THE Tulare Register publishes some figures from the books of the Page & Morton fruit farm near that city, whic are accurately and fully kept.
 In this orchard there are in bearing, the trees being four or five years old, 9 acres of apricots, 119 acres of peaches nearly 19 acres of pears and 71a acress of prunes. The fruit from these trees was weighed in green as it came from the orchard and aggregated 3,047, ,754 pounds. Sixty carloads were sold green to California canperies or shipped to New York, Chicago, Minneapolis or Bos. ton. Ninety carloads of dried fruit, averaging 10000 pounds to the car.
 The apricots paid this year per acre net s21L70; nectarines, 266; peaches, S350; prunes, 5000; pears, s427. The total receipts from the orchard, exclusive of vineyard, were nearly s90,OOO. Next sea- son the area of bearing trees will be con- siderably increased.
 . Besides the orchard there are 230 acres of bearing grapes, which will also be largely added to next season. From this vineyard the seasons output will be nearly 100000 pounds, or 52S,471 pounds of raisins, which find good mar ket in Boston, Chicago and New York The receipts from the vine yard will reach s25OOO to s30OOO. Thegrapes are not all in yet, but a modest estimate places the net profit at s175 per acre.

SITTING BULL is never happy unless engaged in a row. He is now posing before the public, as an alder and abet- tor of the old superstition that an In dian Messiah is to come again and mop the pale-face from the earth. This trad ition exists even more strongly amongst the Pimas, Papagoes, Maricopa and other Arizona tribes than in the north. Years ago "when the world was young" their great Leader Mont kesuma dis
 appeared promising some day to return and re-stablish domain. The myth is so like an adoption from Christianity that 1t is difficult not to believe that these people received the truth from some of those old and daring missionaries and engrafted 1t into their simple faith. Knowing that the tradition exists it would not be at all strange if some cun- ming GUS toner like Sitting Bull should seek to make use of it to create discon- tent. Bull has been treated so we'll that he finds 1t difficult sometimes to dis tinguish the difference between him
 self and the almighty. He should be taught where the difference comes in.

THE Phenix Herald makes the follow ing truthful remark which applies to this vicinity: The land owners of the Salt River Valley will do a good thing for themselves if they will plant colonies, large or small, on their lands with easy terms for land and water. The cul- tivation of tract of land adds largely to the value of surrounding lands, and if each land holder would put families Ion small tracts over portion of their prop erty they would increase the value of every tract of land they own more rapid ly than they possibly can in any other way short of the cultivation of the en- tire tract in fruit. Give the country a chance to make itself known, as it surely will when covered by thrifty farmers and fruit men.

BOTH parties in the campaign now closed pledged themselves to retrench. ment. But care should be exercised that no false notions of economy arise It is not retrenchment for merchant to step advertising his wares, or to buy inferior goods. Neither is it retrenchment for the territory to cripple itself for a few dollars. Since the election those democratic papers who realize they are are not ''in it," have been shouting for the aboiishment of the offices of super intendent of schools and commissioner of immigration. The CITIZEN does not see that the territory would save by wiping out either of these. No commu- nity can afford to neglect its schools. They are the mainstay of our free gov ernment. They are an absolute necessi- ty, and by their standard our principles rise or fall. Better abolish any office in the territory than this.
 As to the office of commissioner of immigration, It IS or sAOuid be one of the most important of all. We are de- pendent on the east, and the north, and the south, for our development. What are our fertile valleys, and ranges, and mines, if We have no people to cultivate them. How are people to know of the advantages We possess unless by syste- matic and continued effort on our part. California owes much of her population and wealth today to the constant tide of immigration literature which was sent all over the Union. The CITIZEN advocates retrenchment, in every prac- tical way, but there are cases where the doing away with necessities may prove to be bite. extravaganza. The com ing legislature will do well to make haste slowly.

OUR PUEBLO.

Tucson is generally conceded to be the best located city from business stand point in the territory. Fully half 8 million acres of land, forms our direct back country. This land is mostly de composed granite and sandy loam, and by proper system of irrigation is capa' | ble of producing two crops each year. Soil of arid belts when reclaimed Is more than ten times as prolific as given average in temperate and natur- i ally watered countries. Palestine, Egypt, Southern Spain, and India,are all stand | ing proofs of thIs assertion. All of these countries depend, or have in times past | depended on irrigation. With such an area under cultivation, can any body question the future of Tucson? In ad | dition to this vast Empire of agricultur- ural resources, We are the center of the mining district of Southern Arizona We send out supplies. We transact the business. Headquarters for al large enterprises are invariable cenJered here. 1 For that reason our merchans are pros porous.
 Tine time is not far. distant when these advantages will be improved.
 Vast irrlgating companies will be found to bring back from the wilderness millions of acres of land.
 Immense mining projects, besides which the present are mere pigmies will be projected.
 Manufactures will dot the plains and the buzz and whirl of machinery will sound on every hand.
 In this transformation, frem the desert to the orchard and vineyard, the loom and the mill, Tucson will bear an inn portant port. The Ancient and Honor able Pueblo of the Santa Cruz, simply bides her time; and her business men are alert.

That's Different You Know.
 Booths Razoo.

During the past brief, but very warm campaign, the editor of Booths Bazoo though not a candidate came in for 8 little of the taffy and some of the abuse, For instance, one martyred candidate in a personal letter to the editor plaintively but eulogistically complained to him, as "a chivalrous Southern gentlemen whose very nature was foreign to op- pression ana injustice" while another who didn't want particular favor re- ferred to him as ga dam unconstructed rebe". Gentlemen we are western thoroughly western, and as completely reconstructed as was Bill Arp's wife Betsey, after William had olished his blacksnake whip on her. We are Californian. Let no man then Grall tc e stars and stripes in ihe dust or attempt to stroke the hair of our cinnamon bear the wrong way. That's the kind of 8 oval California tenderfoot We are.

THIS afternoons telegrams bring the news of the hanging of Birchell, the Woodstock murderer. The case at trscted widespread attention owing to a certain prominent connection which the criminal held and to the unprovoked manner of the crime. It was cold blooded, unprovoked murder for money, and he got it, but the law which is a swift avenger, came in and melted out
 justice at last. The cool and indifferent manner in which the murderer bore himself at the trial and afterwards while waiting the execution Of the sentence is sad commentary on the human race. It is sufficient evidence that We are not yet ready to abolish capital punishment.

THE free trade newspapers still con- tinue the outcry about the rise in prices because of the tariff, thus grinding the axe of the New York importers who have ovrestoclzed thelr market.5 Their state ments in many respects are contradicted by the advertisements in other part of their own sheets; and large number of both manufacturers and dealers in goods on which the duties have been raised have come forward to declare that there will be no increase at all. One Boston grocer store calculates that the Nc Kinley bill means a reduction of prices amounting to S15O,OOO a year to its customers alone. Meanwhile, from all parts of the country come assurances of an improvement in business, ,extensIon of operation S, raise in wages, increase in orders, and the like, Within two years those who have been deceived by the free trade predictions Of disaster and a lowered scale of living will be wonder ing what was the fault found in the new tariff law This our friends forsee. and the eagerness with,,which they abuse the law before it has had trial of its effect on our industrial system shows they are aware that this is their last and only chance to make poll ical capital out of it.
 One of their latest grievances is that European man ufacturers are coming over to establish works ID America, so ss ito get their share of the profits made under protection" They are welcome to come. Their coming means more en- ploymen: for American labor at Amer ican rates of pay. It means European capital applied to the development of our resources, and an increasing demand for the products of mine, farm and fisheries. In Kentucky an English firm contemplates setting up a great iron works at Lexington, and probably many of the ironmasters now visiting this country have been observing the open ings for similar enterprises. A great French firm engaged in the manufact ure of fine woolens expects to invest two millions in a big factory on our side of the Atlantic, and is considering whether to select Philadelphia or Provi- dence for the site. These are but the first drops of the shower.
