SAYS the San Francisco Bulletin: "The census gives Utah a population of 2l1, . Sl7. In 1880 it had 143, 1863. This is a good rate of increase though not equal to that of several similarly situated and conditioned States and Territories, such as Colorado and Montana for instance. Much of it is also due to the influx of Gentiles, especially in Salt Lake and Ogden. This result discredits the Mor- mon argument that their peculiar system has made desert bloom which would otherwise have laid waste. Not withstanding assiduous missionary and colonization effort in Europe and the Eastern States, Utah fails to keep up with the procession. Her relic of bar barism is drag on her progress. The enforced Mormon exodus opened Salt Lake Valley in advance of the natural wave of settlement, but under other auspices it's growth would have been more rapid. Mormonism is case of arrested development, materially as well as morally and intellectually.

A GREAT effort has been made by q few Democratic organs to try to make out that the Republican party endorsed land court, despite the fact that a reso- lution upon the subject was unani- mously voted down in the Territorial Smith made great cry about land grants and what he would do in Con gress to knock them out if he were only reelected. Like all his other promises, they were made only to be broken, and his entire career in Congress has been marked by masterly course of doing nothing. Speaking of his promises of two years ago, the Tombstone Epitaph aptly says;
 If we are not mistaken, Mark smith, during his last campaign promised the people of the Salt River Valley that if they would give him their votes he would introduce bill in Con gress before Christmas that would settle the land grant business, especially the Peralta fraud. This was two years ago. On the strength of this promise Maricopa county gave him about 1000 majority, but have they ever heard of any bill that he has introduced to settle the land grant question or give quietus to the Reavis fraud2 Have they ever heard of any speech of his that had for its object the settlement of the land grant question? If he has ever said or done any thing in this matter 1t has yet to be reported The fact is that the people of the Salt River and Gila Valleys are indebted to a Republican off cial, suryeyor-General Johnson, for the security they now feel in the possession of their homes It was owing to his report, showing the utter worthlessness and fraudulent character of the Peralta grant, that the general land office char acterized it as fraud, which practically dis posed of the matter. Underth these circumstances 1t would merely be an act of gratitude on the part of the inhabitants of Maricopa and Pinal to give their votes to Mir. Cheyney, the candi- date of the party that has secured them in their homes.

ONE of the peculiar things to be found in Phoenix is it's lack of fruit dryer. There was one run here during one summer, but it was mismanaged and, of course, failed. There is fortune here for any man of experience who will es- tablish himself at or near this city with proper machinery and enter into the business of buying and drying the products of the orchards of the valley. New orchards are coming into bearing yearly, and though the shipments of fresh fruit eastward will take a large portion of the fruit, yet tons of it will rot upon the ground if no dryer or can nery is here to take care of it. Home dried fruit is often of fair quality, but the pack of standard drying house always obtains the top price in the market.

THERE seems to be something wrong about the census in Yavapai county and it is to be wondered at that the Prescott papers have not yet objected. The United States census of 1880 gave to Yavapai population of about 5000; the influx for the next two years must have been enormous, for at a census called for by the legislature, in 1882, the giant county showed that she had 2S, ,SSO people within her borders and, what is more, she took representation in the legislature for that number. The claim has been made that Yavapai county has been steadily growing in population, yet the present census only finds II ,OOO souls. Something must be wrong. It is to be feared that the United States enumerators failed to name and number the cattle upon the hills.

ONE of Prescott's most prominent attorneys is authority for the statement that if his city were offered the capitol again the gift would be refused. For years the "City of the Hills" had been sitting in dignity, relying more upon her possession of the capitol and mili- tary post than she did upon downright work, till her industries were stilled
 and her capabilities neglected. Now,
 lacking both the capitol and the mili- tary headquarters, the town has been thrown upon it's own. resources, it's citi-

THERE are very few in this valley who fully appreciate the amount of fruit canned annually in the valley or the advantages offered here for first-class fruit packing establishment. The amount of fruit canned this year by private individuals does not fall far short of 10000 pounds. One of the local tin smiths alone, has, so far in the season, sold the equivalent of APO quart tins holding two pounds of fruit each. Several other dealers and stores have also made large sales and, judging by the number of cans and jars bought, the estimate above given can not be far from the true amount.

 A citizen who was stopped by tramp on Michigan avenue the other day re- piled to his request by saying:
 "No, sir--no, sir-not a pennyl You are fraud!"
 'In what respect ?'
 Why, haven't you asked me for money?"
 Certainly; but how does that make me fraud 2"
 Well, then, an impostor."
 But Pm no impostor. I simply asked you for dime. 1 didn't claim to be either the Governor of New York or a tire-sufferer. l made no statement from which you can argue that am either a fraud or an impostor."
 "Well, have nothing for you"
 "Ahl But that's different Now you make a plain statement of facts, and 1 have nothing further to say. I can stand 1t to be poor, but ambiguity of language is something that 1 never have and never will accept. Good morning, sir !"

THE REPUBLICAN has on several occa- sions asked what had become of tn eextra $25,000 collected in taxes in Maricopa county the last year over the one pre- ceding, but as yet the Board of Super visors has failed to give an explanation. We reproduce today from the Buckeye Btdde an article showing how several thousand dollars of the amount has been squandered to line the pockets of select few. Voters should read this and ponder well the advisability of re- taining such cormorants in power.

THERE is great deal of dissatisfac- tion expessed by the United States pen sioners of Arizona at the long time il takes to get returns from their vouchers when sent to San Francisco. The vouchers are generally sent on the fourth of the pension month and returns are not received here until the twentieth of the month or still later which is de- lay of fourteen days in San Francisco, an unnecessarily long time. A pension agency should be established in Arizona or Southern California to expedite pay ment.

|, EVIDENTLY the Star is not particularly enamored of either Mark Smith or Peter J. Brady from the way it hits at both in the following: "The absence of Little Steve from the Territory is now being accounted for on the theory that he was made the confidential treasurer of the Wham robbers, with the under standing that he was to see that their defense was properly conducted, and that after the first payment to attorneys and their strikers was made, Steve had urgent business which called him to South America. It cannot be possible that Little Steve put up the scheme to secure the paymaster's coin to square up his shortage as treasurer of the prison board?"

THE REPUBLICAN presents this morn ing gossipy letter from San Francisco on the political situation in California.

His letter de serves careful perusal.

You will find dozens of Mormons in Arizona who have conversed with Christ. According to their say so the second person of the Trinity makes business of holding daily converse with the Saints.

RUMoR says that the telegraphic service of THE REPUBLICAN is to be cut olr, We trust not. Its press report is the most valuable one on the coast outside of San Francisco, and 1t will be missed during the campaign
 This from the Tombstone ProSpeciOr. Ordinarily we do not notice such things, but this time we will. The only surprise is that a sensible man like the editor of the PrOspectOr would notice such rumors. Why, don't you remember, Brother Bagg, that when TIE REPUBLICAN started "Rumor" said it was thirty-day-organ that would fill an early grave. Then Rumor" said at the end of the first month it might last sixty days. Again this same ''Rumor" said when the editor was out on a trip over the Territory pushing his business and getting acquainted, that he had skipped. Only the other day he had occasion to make short business trip to Tucson and immediately this same "Rumor" said the editor had started to California and would not return. Why, we have grown so accus- toned to these "Rumors" that they pass us by like the idle wind. All the while THE REPUBLICAN has gone on giving the news seven days in the week, and like young, healthy infant, waxing fat and growing stronger every day of its existence. lt is on better and better basis each succeeding day and SO far from giving up it's telegraphic service is negotiating for private wire to run directly into the office which will give it direct connection with San Francisco and Chicago, privilege enjoyed by no other paper west of Kansas City except ing in San Francisco.
