It is now confessed by Pension
 Commissioner Raum that some
 S35,0O0,000 must be appropriated
 at the coming session of Congress
 to pay the deficiency in the pension
 appropriation of the present year.
 In other words, the party leaders who passed the new pension bill
 that was clamored for only by pen sion sharks and camp followers de- liberately concealed their own pro-
 figacy from the people to deceive voters at the late election. Now there must be $35,0O0,0OO or more appropriated as deficit in the pen sion fund for the current year, and not less than $140,000,0O0 for the new year, making fully $175,000,- 900 that must be appropriated for pensions at the coming session of Congress, with a reasonable cer- tainty that there will be another deficit for the new Congress to face. It is now confessed that when the new disability bill shall get into full operation, with the hundreds of thousands of applications pending under former laws, our pension roll will require fully $2OO,000,O0O an nually, and under the Mckinley tariff the yearly deficit could not be less than $10O,OOO,OOO, or double the entire expenditures of the Govern ment when Lincoln was elected | President The people won't pay 8100,000,000 additional taxes annu- ally to pay pensions which are uni Versally believed to be mingled 1 waste and fraud to the extent of one half the whole sum paid, and what will be done?

A correspondent of the London Times says that on September 30th he and his party saw a rainbow which formed a complete circle, wis., ible for nearly half an hour during their ascent of the Finsteraarhorn. "There wcre," he says, "heavy clouds lying some 4,OOO feet below, on the Aar glacier, and it was on these that the beautiful, brilliant ly colored ring lay. A second ary circle was also visible. We were near the summit of the peak when we first observed it, and from that point the face of the mountain on the Grimsel side is almost per pcndicular."

". G. Moore and Alexander Kellogg are at work upon a well on Gramma Flat, on the Verde Road, about thirty-two miles northeast of Ph@aix. They are now down eighty feet, with as yet no sign of moisture, but announce their intention of sinking 150 feet if necessary. If water is found a large number of cattle will be taken over and placed upon the range at that point. The range is a grand one, the grass be- ing unusually luxuriant, but has never been occupied for the reason that the nearest water is Camp creek, about twelve miles distant.- Republican.

Simon GalIen, stage driver be- tween Tombstone and Oso Negro, says the Citizen, was brought in last night by Deputy United States Marshal John Paul on bench war rent. he having been indicted by the grand jury for smuggling horses over the line from Mexico. MT. Gallen had a herd of horses in a corral near the line, which he would bring over one or two at a time harnessed on the coach. Lineman Steve Aguirre found the corral and had him arrested about a month ago. The prisoner was arraigned before the district court to-day and asked until tomorrow to plead.- Procpector.

Harrington to discover a new foe.

Some very important particulars have lately been given as to the practice of the railway companies in the United States and Canada in requiring strict temperance in their servants. They find this the most effective way of guaranteeing the safety of the public and their own protection from excessive damages. With a view to the attainment of as high standard of temperance as possible, fifty-four companies en- force abstinence while on duty, and fifteen abstinence without restric- tion to time of duty thirteen com panies insist on abstinence as essen- tial to promotion, and one requires the signature of the abstinence pledge before engaging an employe.

ItaRpears that the horse lives on the average twenty-five years, the OK fifteen or twenty, the lion about twenty, the dog ten or twelve, the rabbit eight, the guinea-pig six or seven years. These nnmber all bear similar proportion to the time the animal takes to grow its full size. But man, of all the ami mals, is the one that seldom comes up to his average. He ought, ac- cording to his physiological law, live one hundred years, for five times twenty are one hundred ; but instead of that he scarcely reaches, on the average, four time his grow ing period. "The reason is ob- vious," adds the English Mechanic, "man is not only the most irregular and the most incorporate, but the most laborious and hard worked of all the animals New York Inde- pendent

Theodore RonSevclt on Cowboys.

They are smaller and less muscular
 than the wielders of ax and pick,
 but they are as hardy and self-reliant
 as any man who ever breathed-
 with bronzed, set faces and keen
 eyes, that look all the world straight
 in the face without flinching, as they flash out from under the broad
 brimed hats. Peril and hardships, and long years of toll, broken by
 weeks of brutal dissipation, draw
 haggard line across their eager
 faces, but never dim their reckless eyes nor break their bearing of de- liant self-confdence. They do not walk well, partly because they rare ly do any work out of the saddle, partly because their chaperaos, or leather over alls, hamper them when on the ground but their appearance is striking for all that, and pictur- esque, too with their jingling spurs, the big revolvers stuck in their belts, and bright silk handkerchiefs knot ted loosely around their necks over the open collars of their flannel shirts.
 When drunk on the villanous whisky of the frontier towns they cut mad antics, riding their horses into the saloons firing their pistols right and left, from boisterous light heartedness rather than from any viciousness, and indulging too often in deadly shooting af'rays, brought on by the accidental contract of the moment, or on account of some Iong-standing grudge, or perhaps, because of bad blood between two or localities; but, except willie on such sprees, they are quiet, rather self-contained men, perfectly frank and simple, and on their own grounds, treat a stranger with the most whole-souled hospitality, do- ing all in their power for him, and scorning to take any reward in re- turn.-The Century.

Mir. Mckinley lately saidin effect that the people did not understand the tariff question at the late elec- ton. Ii that is true then it is equally true that they have been living in ignorance upon this sub- ject for quarter of century. A large majority of the people in thir- ty-one states out of forty-four seem to have understood the subject, as they elected a majority of demo- cratic tariff reformers to represent them in the ffty-second congress. The truth of the matter is that many people who did not under stand the subject have had their eyes opened to the iniquitie5 of an unjust and oppressive tariff Plaln Dealer.

Experiments, says Indian Engi- neering, have recently been made in the Rangoon oil refinery with a view of obtaining a cheap and solid fuel from petroleum, and a very good result was obtained by heat ing the oil and dissolving 3 per cent. common soap. The product was found hard to ignite, burns slowly, causes barely any smoke and produces great heat. In fact a clean and convenient fuel and to all other fuel obtained from mineral oil that was tried here.

of Financial AsCendancy
 from Europe to America.

The logical deduction from all the
 facts is that the shake-up in Lon
 don will transfer the financial as
 cendancy of the world from Europe to America. This is the one tre-
 mendously important result which
 looms up from storm-swept London
 moneydom. With the collapse of the Earrings and the consequent losses to their enormous clientele, London virtually surrendered to the United States leadership in the f. nances of the world, for which lead ership this country immediately proved it's ability and fitness. Here tofore London has been the rich man who had money when every body else was hard up. This time New York had the money, and bought back in six months for $2O0,000,000 the securities sold to London at a much higher figure and which will eventually go to London again at prices dictated by New York. The recklessness of British
 inanciering and the rottenness of South American speculations which have absorbed so many hundreds of millions of British money, afford a sharp contrast for the strength of
 financial institutions and the sol vency and prosperity of our coun- try. Never before has this country been put in such strong light be- fore the world, and the results will be beyond calculation. The invest ing public of Great Britain can no longer be controlled by houses which have led them at will, and an era of independent investment in this country which will eclipse any thing ever before known is inevita- ble. For all this investment the money will be handled largely from our own financial centers,-Balti- more Manufacturers Record.

The Prospector says: The grand est opportunity in the history of Arizona for making known her val uable and boundless resources will be at the Worlds Fair in 1892. The time is short; the legislature must go to the utmost limit of lawful ex- penditure to aid this work ; it must be done this Winter or it will be too late. Taking the money allow ed each year for useless office hold CTS and turning into a fund carry ing out this great work would be a most gratifying stroke of political wisdom.

Speaker Reed thinks it was the women and the drummerS who up set the republican apple cart. The drummers spread abroad the news of advancing prices, and gave the cause for the advance. The women went to the shops and found the news was true, and then went home with an argument in their mouths against the Mckinley act that fath- CTS, hus bands and brothers found unanswerable. Speaker Reed has had nearly two weeks to find out an explanation for republican de- feat. His theory is at least half way correct.-Galveston News.

sailed for England to claim her al.
 legged husbands fortune and estate. 1 For several years past the suit has
 been in litigation, being at present
 on trial. Two years ago relatives
 of the deceased, being suspicious,
 placed the case in the hands of q renowned secret service agency,
 which has at last succeeded in se-
 curing the necessary evidence with
 one exception.
 While on board the steamer re- turning the physician one day con fided part of his crime to sailor. This sailor in one of his trips told the story in turn to friend, and in this way it reached the detective agency, who are now in search of the parties in Australia. It was upon their return to Chicago, it is alleged by the agency, that the phy- sician and Tascott concocted the Shell affair with such marked suc- cess. When the case was first placed in the hands of the agency 1t was with the understanding that should they meet with success their reward should be $50,000. By this it will be seen that there were two rewards for Tascott's capture. The agency has had assistants securing Ameri- ca, Australia and Europe, and where ever a report was in circulation Tascott's arrest 1t was in- vestigated.
 4 year ago Commissioner Ben field of Chicago, came out to Colo rado in the hope of locating the man, but without success. Early last summer an authenticated re- port reached the agency that Tas- colt had been recognized, and final ly the fellow bearing a resemblance was located at Meeker, Colorado, and on Monday last arrested. He was taken by stage to Rifle, a Den yer and Rio Grande station, and on arriving at Pueblo to-daywas placed on board an east-bound train for Chicago, for future Identification.
 What this arrest will amount to to be seen. In any event, l this authentic story is bound to create a sensation, since it is an un- published history of a statement of facts.

Press dispatches claim that freez- ing weather will not affect the eff ciency of the Schneider nickeI-steel plate. A test was made at the An napolis proving ground on the 21st inst. The plate which had received six shots in the test of several weeks ago was reduced to temper ature of 28 degrees F. by packing of salt and ice. The Holtzer 6-inch projectile fired penetrated the plate about the same distance and with the same effect as the pFojectiles fired under normal temperature.- Engineer and Mining Jouanal.

Until recent years the most skill ful surgeons have maintained the practical impOssibility of making abdominal incisions without fatal effect. Until now it has likewise been regarded as almost impossible in the majority of cases to cure consumption. The world rejolced when the first position was proven untenable. The rejoicing will be even greater if practical demonstration shall prove that the reputed dis covery of pr. Rock is not fallacy.

Mr. Wright, the Los Angeles cat tie buyer who has been looking at various punches of cattle in this section, has not succeeded in mak- ing any purchases of note. The fact is beginning to dawn upon cattle owners that sales must be largely of feeders this year, as cattle are not as fat as the wet year and heavy growth of grass indicated that they would be. The beet steers which are killed as fat cattle, although to all appearances in fine condition, do not dress as we'll as they look on the hoof. The reason for this, given by butchers and others well posted on Arizona ranges is, that the season did not last long enough, and the cattle were in such poor condition that they did not pick up as rapidly as they would have done had the dry year previous not left them on the verge of star vation.-Prospector.

Another fond delusion has been shattered by the relentless data of science. Whisky has long been regarded as ofvalue in the treatment of pneumonia, but a comparison of the results attained in different hos pitfalls by it's use in this capacity shows that it's employment is not desirable. It is found that in the New York hospitals 65 per cent. of the pneumonia patients die under alcoholic treatment, while in Lon- don, at the Object Lesson Temper anco Hospital, only , per cent. die.
