I remember witnessing the play in San Francisco couple years ago, when 8 gentleman who was with me called at tention to what he considered the i'm probableness of such an ending for the man as the dramatist had given him. I replied that 1 did not think it improb- able at all, that within my personal knowledge had occurred case where 8 woman fell dead from heart failure when informed that her husbands place of business was being destroyed by fire. The scene of the play and subsequent conversation rather impressed itself on me, and was particularly struck with the reading of this sudden death on the floor of the Exchange. To me it con veyed most vivid idea of the panic and the terrible crush and scramble in Wall Street.
 SPEAKING of Wall street, makes me tbink what wonderful thing it is that half dozen millionaire spectators in New York could conspire together 6 short time ago to force financial strin- gency for the purpose of depressing the stock market in order that they might get possession of a sufficient number of shares of certain great railroad corpora tions to give them control of all the transcontinental routes. They accom- plished their purpose by locking up a great many millions of money at time when the legitimate business needs of the country called for the active use of the entire available supply of circula- tinn and n tho Nrhtch follnuyaI they succeeded in robbing their neigh bors who held the railroad shares which they wanted, of great many millions of dollars. Now that they have obtained control of the transcontinental routes, it will be easy for them to bull the stocks, which they depressed so seriously by creating an artificial stringencv in the money market short time ago, ,snd when prices are again forced up to the top notch, they can sell out at tremendous advance and repeat the operation as often as they may desire. Under our present laws there is no way of punish ing these men for the robbery they have committed or the failures they have caused. On the contrary, they are allowed to keep their ill-gotten gains, and are envied and admired for their smartness. If an equal number of com mon criminals had met in the back room of dive or a cellar and had conspired together to rob the same stockholders, who have just been fieeced by the mil lionaire conspirators in question, of q few silver spoons or watches or diamonds the entire police force of New York would have been turned loose to hunt them down, and their apprehension would follow almost as matter of course. They would be railroaded to the peni- tentiary at lightning speed, and every body would declare that they had been rightly served. Queer, isn't it? Coo.

REDUCED MAJORITIES.

The official returns for Arizona as can vsssed by Secretary Murphy and pub lished exclusively in THE REPUBLICAN yesterday should greatly encourage Re- publicans to keep up vigorous fight for 1892. As compared with 1888 they show most wonderful gain in every county. It is true losses were made on the Legislative ticket, due principally to local causes, but in the Territorial can vas splendid gains were made on both Congressional Delegate and Joint Coun- cilmen. Mark Smiths majority of 1884 of 1888 is this year reduced to ll96. It is we'll to take his majorities by counties for the two years and compare them as they make interesting reading. They were as follows.

IN its strictures upon the grand jury yesterday, THE REPUBLICAN, in saying that one of the members of the jury had beeen disbarred from practicing in the courts here, spoke on transformation. A motion to that effect was made in the court, but not allowed. This statement is made from the fact that we find from reputable citizens that the first state ment did member of the jury injury, and as has always been the case with THE REPUBLICAN, if it finds itself in the wrong it makes the amende honorable. THE REPUBLICAN fights hard, but if through any inadvertance any man is hit unjustly, it will be the first to cor rect itself.

J. s. BULLOCK, President of the Pres colt and Arizona Central railroad, arrived in the city yesterday from Mex ico, where he is busily employed in railroad building. Mir. Bullock met a number of gentlemen at the Commercial hotel last night where an informal talk was had upon railroad matters. In conversation he said that if Mr. Key holds would give guarantee to connect with the P. x A. c. at Prescott, he would turn over his Yavapai County subsidy for completing his line to Msricopa County, withdraw all opposition to the subsidy bill now before Congress- and join in helping to pass it. After reach ing Prescott, December 9, Mir. Bullock will formulate this statement in an open letter to the Supervisors. For the good ot the county, TIE REPUBLICAN hopes that some union of interests can be ef- fected and the railroad pushed through.

Ar Nogales, down on the Mexican bor- der, the Stars and Stripes fly over the school house every day. This beautiful custom of flying the flag over the public schools has been generally adopted throughout the country, and in some places the honor of hoisting and lower ing the flag every morning and evening is made reward of merit to the pupil having the best record for the proceed ing day. PhGnix is one of the few pro gressive young cities in the country where the flag is not raised over the school houses, and TIE REPUBLICAN hopes that Superintendent Long will urge the matter before the board until some action is taken. Tine flag should fly from the school houses every day.

 It will readily be seen that there is not s county in the Territory but where the Republicans made heavy gains in the vote for Delegate.
 In the vote for Joint Councilman the showing is equally favorable. In 1888 the majority for L. H. Orme, Democrat, in the Northern District, was 99S. This year Baldwin's majority over Moore is but 470, less than half the majority for Orme. J. H. Hoadley's majority in the Southern District in 1888 was SSS, while this year the majority for Brady over Nichols was only 45S, but fourteen votes more than one-half of Hoadley's ma jority.
 Republicans have but to work earn estly and harmoniously to gain com plete victory in Arizona in 1892. They made splendid showing this year and one that should urge them onward in the fight against Democracy.

GEORGE A. DANIELS, representing Frank Lsslie'S, who has been in the city for several days, has a plan for adver- Using the Salt River Valley in that great publication, that should meet the at tention of all business men. It is & plan adopted in San Antonio, Texas, and several other towns. He asks of the city eighteen subscribers who will pay sl week for year, the total thus paid in being $936. For this sum Frank Lesl'e's will publish four inch ad of the city and county once month, in both it's English and German editions, and in the course of year give forty-eight inches of reading matter, descriptive of the city and it's progress. Itis certainly a most effective means of advertising our resources and one which will fall very lightly upon the subscribers.

ON THE CURBSTONE.

MIR. EDITOR, expect your readers will begin to think am getting lazy or something of that sort, from the in- frequency of my Curbstone contribu- tions recently. But when a man is busy on ranch six days in week and goes to church with his family on Sun days, as dutiful man should do, he sometimes gets careless about doing little tasks for which there is no com pulsion.
 IHAvE been very much interested in the macsdamizing of the two or three blocks of street down by tho depot. The gravel used is of limeutone forma- tion and when thoroughly packed makes . splendid road. Recorder Schwartz informed me the other day that he had been experimenting some with this gravel and had discovered q method of mixing it with water and some soft rock formation to be found in the valley, by which he could make a street out of it fully equal to the best asphalt pavement. He further says that several monied men had promised to assist him in laying one block of the new paving on Washington street if the Council would give it's permission for the work. l sincerely trust he will suc- ceed and go ahead with the work. Nothing conduces SO much to good payements as to get few blocks laid as samples. The contrast between paved and unpaved streets is 80 great thof panrla ua mi thnpn oil
 IT is encouraging to note the great in- terest being taken in the Salt River Valley in fruit culture. In my mind there is no industry our people can en- gage in to so much profit as in fruit growing. Care must be exercised, how ever, ill not planting too many varieties on ranch or too many acres at one time. Ten acres, planted entirely to apricots, or to peaches, or prunes, or oranges or any other one variety of fruit, and well attended, will unquestionably produce greater profit than will twenty acres with half dozen varieties. If any one wants to see what oranges will do here, let him visit the yard of Coun- cilman Bu rger, at the corner of Monroe and Cortez streets. There stands tree, some six or seven years old, of common seeding oranges, loaded with the golden globes. It has never received any culti- vation or pruning whatever, but, like Topsey, has "jist growed," and yet a conservative estimate places the pro- duct on the tree at three boxes. A re- markable thing, too, is the size of the thnu hatx.v al, Ia the Washington Navels. With cultiva- tion and care, the tree would undoubt- edly have borne fuller crop and the fruit would have been much larger. Such organges as seen there now would readily sell at $2.50 box on the trees, and ten acres of them would yield net income of not less than 5000. What better could any man want.

TALKING with an old fruit shipper the
 other day, he said: "I think the great
 fruits for profits in this valley are raisin
 grapes, apricots, prunes and oranges. Our raisins, when we once get to pro ducing them sufficiently to have thor oughly learned how to grow and cure
 them, will be superior to those of the San Joaquin Valley in California, and will have the additional advantage of
 being two weeks earlier, thus catching the cream of the market. Apricots and prunes will be especially profitable. Both of these fruits are only produced in very limited area of the United States, and the demand for them far ex-
 ceeds the supply. Ir peaches, we come in direct contact in the eastern market
 with the product of Michigan, New York, Delaware, Kentucky, Tennessee and northern Alabama and Georgia. The eastern peaches too are of superior flavor to ours, and the only way we can compete on even terms is the same as California does, by produc- ing a peach of extra large size. But with apricots and prunes there is no eastern competition, and Oregon and California cannot nearly fill the demand. Besides that we again have the sdvant- age of the first market by about two weeks, the same AS with our rais- ins, and in this way will get the cream. Our oranges ripen little ahead of those of Southern California, and somewhat later than Florida, SO that we come in just between the two, in season to catch the pick of the holiday trade." His re- marks covered the field 80 thoroughly that l thought them worthy the consid- eration of your readers.
