Will Contest the Election.

AT the late election in Wilkes-Barre
there were three candidates before the
people of the Fifth Ward for Alderman,
namely, G. S. Croft, j. N. Davidson and
John P. Mcdonald. The election returns
show that Croft received 56 votes; David
son, 1l0, and Mcdonald, 80. On Mon
day Mr.. Mcdonald commenced contest
proceedings in court. A lengthy petition
was filed in which it is claimed fraud
was committed, and that the board erred
in not receiving votes from qualified
electors of the ward.
An order was made fixing the hearing
for April 7th.

Something New and Goo1

Col. Dur has again made a step for ward as a public benefactor. It had come to his ears recently, that some of the ladies of Tucsen were complaining about the beer sold iE this city being bitter. Being on confidential terms with his grandmother, famous old lady who has spent her life. n studying the likes and dislikes of her sex, he wrote her, explaining what was the matter with the ladies of Tucson. The grandmother knew at once the remedy, and straight way sent [ carload of the celebrated Extra Pale Erlanger Standard Beer. This beer arrived yesterday, and has been sampled by the best judges in this city. and pronounced the best family beer in the West. It is just the thing for the ladies, and no bitter taste is car ried with it. The Colonel asks that every family try few bottles of this beer, and feels confident that they will have no other afterwards. The grandmother has never made a mistake about the wants and needs of Tucson, and will answer for the satisfaction given by this new beer with her reputation, which is good.
 The Colonel has been instructed to sell this beer at SIP per bbl. and s2.2O per doz., so that all may share in the luxury nd benefits afforded by It's use.

A ONE-SIDED LAW

Cattle men on the Sonora line today re practically at the mercy of Mexican stock-raisers. Hitherto it has been the custom of Americans to cross the line ana gather their stray cattle, but of late the Mexican Government has seen fit to pass law whereby cattle straying across the line cannot be recovered by us; they are, in reality, the property of any A' exi- can who may choose to round them up. Such a law is far from being just, and especially so, when it is understood that Mexican stockmen still retain the privilege of coming into this territory
 and securing their stray herds. To en- force this law by both republics would be detriment to the cattle interests along the line; no man would be sure Of
 his own stock-his own brands would be
 useless whereby to identify his property, inasmuch as the same could be claimed
 by anyone who choose to drive them into an adjoining republic. Situated
 as the Sonora and Arlzona stock-raisers are, each others herds roaming together
 at will in the vicinity of an atmospheric
 barrier called boundary line, can it be
 possible for these men to continuously keep their cattle from roaming outside their allotted pasturage? If the United States places no restriction upon q
 Mexican coming here to secure his stray animals, We naturally expect to have
 the same privilege accorded us. As the matter now stands, the Ameri can stock raiser Is handicapped in
 such a manner as to eventually drive
 him from competition with his Mexican neighbor; such being the case, it is fol
 ly to suppose that Mexico will always
 have the privilege of using Arizona as a
 rounding up point, and contiscate our
 cattle when they find them in Sonora
 We have always maintained the most
 amicable relationship with the Mexican government, and hope so to continue,
 but this ene-sided cattle law, in ouI opinion, is just a little too arbitrary to meet the approval of Americans. In stead of being a benefit to Mexican cat tie interests,it will eventually hamper the same in no small degree, should 8 simi-
 lar restriction be imposed by our gov ernment. Men would not care to invest
 capital in the stock business either
 side of the Sonora lire-and be at the
 mercy of such cattle Romads ss mal
 choose to infict them with their pres
 ence. We hope to see the Mexican Gov ernment take a broader view of this
 case than it does at present; it will eventually faciiitate Sonora cattle in
 terests ss well as our own. and help tc
 seal the bond of friendship that alwayt
 should exist between two adjoining
 republics.

THE democratic racket over the pris- on board of six years ago, comes too late to market to either benefit that party or injure the republicans. To be- gIn with there is DO evidence of fraud in the dispatches and the democrats well know it. The record of the prison has been in the hands of the democrats for the past five years, and all the while they allowed these terrible things to slumber for the sole reason that they contained not scintilla of evidence to show that the affairs of the prison under republicans, had not been strictly and honestly managed. During their incum- bsncy the present democratic board have been charged by the republican press of the territory with many unlawful acts, number of which they have been obliged to defend in court, but notwith- standing this they were dumb on the record of their predecessors. In extenu- nation of this the plea cannot be made that the democrats do no not know a good thing when they See one, nor that they did not know the contents of the record, for they did. A year ago copies of these self same dispatches, letters etc, were exhibited in Tucson, but the opinion then expressed was that there was nothing in them and the democrats were welcomed to their use. Opinions oa thie matter have not changed since and the democrats are welcome 10 what ever comfort they can get cut of them now.

 History does not rece.l the date of its casting, which the superstitious people attribute to tie gods, doctas or divinities. Persian inscriptions on this great death dealer prove that it has been captured iE some war with that country, but the let ters and characters are so Ecarls Oblit- ereted that the date cannot be ascer- tained. The cannon has rested for ages between two mammoth trees of the pee pul species, which have grown so firmly around it that it could not be removed without felling one or both of them.

A DOCTORS REBUKE.
Immensely More Mischief than is Gen.
 orally Suspected.

Dr. King, the eminent medical writer, in 6 learned disQuisition on our national com plsint, constipation, says:-
 The great quantity of cathartic pills, etc, which are annually swallowed by the people of this country has been productive of immensely more mischief than is generally suspected True, the physic unloads the bowels, but in SO doing its action tends to diminish the tone of the intestines; so that, instead of removing the costiveness, it aggrayates it, leaving the bowels in a more torpid condition.
 Joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla was designed to fill just such 6 contingency as the doctors ar raignment anticipates, viz: instead of being e powerful mineral purgative, it is mild vege- table laxative, that, owing to its solvent and gentle stimulating properties, is so certain re- lief in constipation that it has been given away to hundreds, not to be paid for unless it was of positive benefit. Itreplaces constipation almost immediately with a natural easy habit, and is so mild that, unlike drastic purgatives, it can be taken indefinitely with perfect freedom and safety.

HOME INDUSTRY,

Tsf imports bf Arizona gre gradually but surely diminishing. A few years ago all brea'lstnfEs consumed within our boundaries were obtained from outside sources, for the simple reason that agri- cultural was an untried industry, and the fertility of our soil was comparatively unknown, Although a great mineral country, 1t has been.practically demon strated that Arizona is one of the fore most wheat producers tin point of quality in the west, and the day is not far distant when this industry will be as extensively pursued in our midst, as that of mining. An instance of this may be seen in the success of the Eagle Milling Co. Before thIs company was inaugurated, four was the greatest import of Tucson, not because others had not tried its manufacture, but for the simple reason that the hitherto crude methods of flour milling did not produce a grade of flour that could suc- cessfully cope with the imported article. To-day this company have not only entered into successful compe- tition" with the California product, but have almost excluded it from the Tucson market. This speaks volumes for the Eagle Gold Dust Flour. It is to-day used almost exclusively by every family within Pima County, and is finding growing trade outside; there IS little doubt that it's use will soon be universal throughout the entire territory. This is an industry that should be appreciat- by the citizens of Arizona. It IS one of those sinews which tend to draw a young territory into the statehood of independence, a feat that can never be attained in communities where bread stuffs ara of necessity imported. It saves thousands of dollars in wages alone, which would otherwise enrich outside industry, let alone the immense drain imported flour infiicts on current capital. Not alone is it to the interest of all lin financial sense-to patronize our home mill and help build our grow ing industries, but 1t is to thelr own pri- vate interests in obtaining a brand of flour that cannot be cxcelled in the world-famed Occidental sphere of wheatdom. We are only speaking of the Eagle Gold Dust flour as those speak who have used it. They maintain that it is the finest article ever put upon this market. The old prejudice against home product has been entirely dispel- led in this respect at least, and We anx- iously await another industry that will meet with the merited success attained by the Eagle Milling Company. Such institutions do more for the prosperity of little town like ours, than the much vaunted booms of fictitious origin, which pervade the Western Hemisphere and enrich but few.

TIE Btstd tf Regehts baye uhdsFtsk- eh very commendable enterprise. by advertising for blsd to bore deep well in hopes they may find artesian water. This is g question fraught with much interest to the territory, as it demon strates the fact whether or not this plan of obtaining water for agricultural purposes is feasible. If flow of water can be obtained the cattle raiser will not as now be at the mercy of the ele
 ments, but can depend upon a constant and sufficient supply for his herds. Who is is more abundantly able to carry on these experiments. than the United States Government? If it is a success then the solution of the ard land ques- ton is settled. The last session of the Territorial Legislature authorized the Board of Supervisors of the several counties to offer a reward-not exceed ing s300-to the first person to obtain artesian water; would it not be we'll, un- der these circumstances for Pima county to offer this reward now, so if necessary. the Board of Regents may go deeper than their funds will permit of?

NEW FEATURES IN ERICA
 TON.

The government of Victoria, Australia, has sent Mir. John West 10 this country To study the American system of irriga- tiOn and also to inquire into the particu- lar methods of cultivating vines, fruits and grain in vogue here. When in San Francisco he was interviewed by a re- presentative of the Daily Report, to whom he stated that irrigation in the Victoria Colony was as yet in its infancy in Victoria, but law had been passed doing away with riparian rights, and giving the state the ownership of all water. Irrigation works had been con fined so far to the great masonry weir on the Goldburn river, constructed at a cost of of fl20,OO0, but ths government has appropriated f20O0OOO for irrigation purposes, and the greater part of this has been alleted to bodies similar to boards of supervisors In American states, who borrow the money paying the govern ment 12 per cent year interest more than the government borrows the money for. 
 It is expected to reclaim about 5000 GOO acres.
 A sinking fund is provided for by which the entire debt will be paid in thirty years, and the irrigation works be- come the property of the people.
 The government Is so impressed with the importance of developing its fruit, oil and fiber products that it has set aside e2O0OOO" Mr. West continued, ito be paid out in bonuses to growers; for fruit s3 an acre and for vines e3 10 s an acre, limited to p acres, so that no monopoly may be established. Bonuses are offered for the manufacture of dried fruits, canned fruits and etc"
 The Chaffey brothers, formally of Cal itornia, where they successfully founded the Ontario colony, were given fifty thousand acres of land for irrigation purposes in Australia, in fee simple, and MT. West says their enterprise is very successful. From California Mir. West will go, after spending two months here, to Washington.

At Col. Durr's Place.

1t was learned yesterday from tt {, Colonel himself, who was taught to al ways speak the truth by his good grand mother, that since he moved his business from Meyer to Congress street, his bus mess had increased in volume from day to day. He now sells one car load oi 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. Dur, 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 month; also California cheese is hand led in large quantities, and the finest of Llmberger 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 wARUM DARUM BRAND
 Is we'll 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. s-.
 In the cellar is kept fine Sherry wlne, dozens of barrels, and everything that is better by being kept in cool place.
 Whiskey IS received from not only all over the United States, but much direct from the old country, three or four fo the best brands made in Hamburg. In one room alone, the reporter counted
 155 BARRELS OF wHIsKEY, and including wines and brandies, his present stock would not fall short of 300 barrels and kegs. Also choice brand of mescal is handled for the benefit of those who like it.
 Besides, all the finest bitters known to mankind, are kept, many of them being imported. In fact, everything in the way of saloon supplies is kept, and noth- ing but the best quality is sold

THE Phsnix Republican, the new daily paper recently started at the Arizona capital, seems to have been put forth simply as an organ of faction head ed by Governor Wolfey, and Its object in life seems to be to fight the rest of the republicans in the territory instead cf their common enemy, the democratic party. The new paper seems to have it in for the Hon. c. R. Drake of Tucson. more particularly than any one else Not to speak of the poor taste of repub- licans fighting among themselves, it is mighty poor politics for any Arizona re- publican to make fight on MT. Drake. Mr. Drake has for years been one of the leading men of the territory and if there IS anything about the politics of the ter r.tory that he does not kno or any string which he cannot pull for the benefit of the public, it has never become known to the party. No Governor, if you must must fight somebody, do it, but at least show little eomEson sense in picking out your opponent.-Lordsbprg, (N. NJ Liberal.

THE FARMER AND THE TARIFF

The hue and cry that the farmer IS being taxed to death appears to have found but little favor in the convention of farmers at Mt. Sterling, H., on the 3lst ut. This convention was composed largely of farmers and was admittedly the largest body of men that had ever assembled at that place. Among the speakers was Mir. J. T. Clark, who said:
 Il am farmer by profession; be- long to that class of individuals whom our democratic friends claim are being robbed by protection. Let us investi- gate, and see if there is any truth in their statements, admitting the fact that there is tariff to protect the man. ufacturer and laboring men upon every article We use in the house or on the farm. The blankets under winch I sleep that cost me SIP per pair fifteen years ago can be bought to-day the same weight and kind for s6 per pair. Cotton and dress goods have decreased in price sipce 1860 in like proportions. The axe l use cost ne 75 cents, better axe in every respect than the one my father bought in '' '57" for g bill. The wagon 1 use cost me $50, and better wagon than my father bough during the good old Democrtic Free-Trade days of 1856 to 60 for $40. In fact, my friends, there is not an article We use in the house or on the farm but what can be bought from % to 300 per cent cheaper than the same article could have been bought for before there was a protective duty placed upon these articles.

Women Writers in France.

A Paris correspondent says: The mos, discouraging obstacle the American wo- man has to contend with in Paris is the great number of English and French writers employed by the American press, while it is impossible for an American writer to be recognized by foreign jour nals.

No woman can live by her pen who has not a regu far salary: To attempt it is one of the most hazardous and veXatious undertak. ings. Haphazard correspondence is cast ing bread on the water that in nine cases out of ten brings back-the manuscript.
