Biz as q Carriage Wheel.

In the farlhcst southeastern island of the Philippine group Mindinao, upon one of it's mountains, Parag, in the neighborhood of the highest peak on the island, the volcano Apo, q party of botanical and ethnographical ex- plorers found recently, at the height of 2.500 feet above the sea level, a colossal flower, says the Gardener. The r!iscoverer, Dr. Alexander Schad enberg, could scarcely believe his eyes when he saw, amid the low growing bushes, the immense buds of this flower, like gigantic brown cabbage heads. But he was still more aston ished when he found specimen in full bloom, q five petaled flower nearly yard in diameter-as large as carriage wheel, in fact. This enormous hlOs- som was borne on sort of vine creep ing on the ground. It was known by the native w!io accompanied Dr. Schadenberg on the excursions. The party had no scale by which the weight of the flower could be ascer- tained, but they improvised a swing ing scale, using their boxes and speci mems as weights. Weighing these when opportunity served, it was found that a single flower weighed over twenty-two pounds. It was impOs- sible to transport a fresh flower, so the travellers photographed it and dried a number of its leaves by the heat of a fire. Dr. Schadenberg then sent the photographs and dried specimens 10 the Royal Botanical Gardens, Bresian, where the learned director immediately recognized it as a species of RattieSia, plant formerly discovered in Suma- tra and named afler the English Gov ernor, Sir Stamford Rofiies. The new flower was accordingly named Raffiesia Schadenbergia. The five petals of this immense flower, arc oval and creamy white, and grow around a center filled with countless long violet hued stamens; thicker and longer in the fertile fewer than in the infertile. -GlUbe.

HON. P. R BRADY, Chairman of the Zulick Board of Prison Commission CTS, informs the Florence Enterprise that the reason the BoaId did not give up the management of the prison was because they wished to carry the mat ter into the courts and spend their money in establishing a great princi- ole, and not that they wanted to hold onto the offices from ulterior motives. Here is a sight for gods and menl These two gentlemen, Messrs Brady and Halleck, way out on the plains of Arizona, the atltima thatIe of American civilization, are taking up the role of Hampden and Pym, and the barons who wrested Magma Charta from King John at RCnnymede, and once more setting in motion the struggle for lib erty in this oppressed land, and when it rushes down from the summit Of the Rocky mountains, spreading itself like "besom of destruction" (what- ever that is) over the Eastern States, it will doubtless cause Harrison to tremble in the Presidential chair, dis solve Congress in its white and smash the Republican party all to flinders. Hurrah for Brady and Halleck!

One of the EfretS.

President Diaz, in bis message to congress, states that the government has contracted with one company for the erection of five reduction works in as many parts of the republic. We have no doubt that many works of the kind will be erected without contracts with the government, and it Is to be supposed that within a very short time all Mexican ores will be treated in that country. The miners and laborers of this country, says the Two Republics, as we'll as the capitalists who erect the works, will be greatly benefited. The action of the Ameri- can government will rebound directly and powerfully to the advantage of this country. If the same results could have been brought about by the Mexican government the necessary action would perhaps long since have been taken.
 Unfortunately the good turn which the government of the United States has done Mexico was not intentional and therefore neither of the Ameri- cans who have been injured by the rev turn affairs has taken nor those who have been benefited can make any capital out of it. On the contrary, the action Of the government at Washington i4 regarded in this coun- try as unfriendlv. Mexican ores will not only be treated on Mexican soil, but their proceeds will, wherever con dtions arc even, go 10 Europe in pay ment for purchases which were being made in the United States previous to the destruction of the ore trade be- tween the two republics.

FoR 8 good, single-handed liar com mend us 10 the person who caused to be sent broadcast over the country a recent statement concerning the state of Arizona's finances. In dispatch announcing the passage by Congress of the funding bill for Arizona it is said that Arizona Is in such bad rcpute among capitalists that she cannot re- alize more than 50 per cent on any of her bonds. That this is lie manu- factured out of whole cloth any one who lAls grain of common sense knows We are surprised that any Arizona paper should give currency to such d fragrant misstatement of facts For some time one man, or q set of politicians, have been posing as say iors of Arizona, alleging that but for their heroic efforts we would inevita- bly, have gone directly to hades, and stayed there. In the en1eavor to divert attention from their record as law breakers some of them went 10 Wash ington, and by various means procured the introduction and passage of this funding bill, which is of doubtful util- fly. To still further emphasize their position they cause the publication ol the passage of the bill to be accompa- nied by inc absurd lie noted above. What is the Use of passing a funding law and attempting 10 negotiate more bonds fl we are only 10 get 50 per cent of their face value? Will such d transaction improve our cOndition2 l. is well known that the various coun- ties of tie Territory, notwithstanding the heavy indebtedness of some, have no difficulty iii negotiating bonds at par Cochisc county recently floated over Se3,000 in bonds, bearing inter- est at the rate Of ' per cent per an- mum, at par, and the paIties who took them were only sorry that they conld not get more uf Our despised bonds.

THE Mckinley tariff Jill is not en- tirely pleasing to our Eastern friends, It was all right 10 cripple the mining bu>iness of the entire Southwest and seriously affect the cattle industry by placing prohibiory duty on Mexican ore and cattle, but when the lea her industry of New England was touched such a howl went up that Mckinley had 10 back down. And Secretary Blaine gave them a strong lecture on their tariff on lead ore, which action, he said, would nullify all his efforts to secure reciprocity of trade with Mex ico. He implied that the Ways and Means Committee were a set of fools, and that if they and Congress should persist in their course all h.s efforts in bringing about the PanAmerican would prove barren of results From all indications the Mckinley bill will meet with as much opposition as the Mills bill.

4 WOOIIE Discovery.

General Manager K. H. Wade of the Santa Fe, says the Los Angeles Times, made & queer discovery the other day regarding wool that is ship ped from this city 10 San Diego. The wool is grown on sheep that are pas tured in Lower California. The mer- chants in this city supply the sheep men, and take the wool off their hands. The merchants then ship to d company at Ensenada, in Lower Cali foruia, and the wool is shipped by rail to San Diego and by steamer from that point to Ensenada, where it is manufactured into cloth, which is shipped back to this city and then around over the Santa Fe to Fl Paso, and from that point to the City Of Mexico. This is roundabout route, but the factory at Ensenada makes a good thing.
