THERE is considerable activity going
on in Arizona public lands. For the
month of November 1891, there was
filed upon a, ,l9l acres of land under the
Desert act. and 2,314 acres uLder the
Homestead act. This total OF 26.5O5
acres represents only the original entries
made in the land Office in this city.
The final entries were also quite large.
The above facts may be taken as an ev-
idence of the eagerness with which the
arid lands of Arizona are being taken
up. At this rate it is evident that not
withstandine the immense areas of land
still open in the public domain, that In
the course of few years that little that
is desirable will be left. But these OBJ
servations make apparent the transform
alton of Arizona from barren and un-
productive waste to the true realization
of q land where the vine aud the tig tree
fourishes, and the granaries OF the world
look TO her for supply.

TINES have long been Gull in Arizona
and the future promises but little better
so..long as Arizona remains territory
but il admitted as a state the impetu J
OF immigration that invariably crowds
into new states would be at once felt n
every town and business center. Wy
oming when admitted two years since,
was not better qualifi I'd than Arizona is
today, either in the matter of taxable
property or population. Since becom-
ing q state however, both of these i'm
portant factors Ia the prosperity and
well being OF the young com nonweslth,
have increased beyond the expectations
OF the most sanguine. When once ad
mitted there is no reason why Arizona,
with her possible but undeveloped sd-
yantagss, should not forge ahead and
stand on the broad plane of prosperity
with her sister states. Youth, ambition
and Infinite resources will stand by as
handmsids to the state, to bid US be up
and dong, to reach for that unbounded
wealth that lies hidden in our plains
and hills, waiting but for .the sesame of
statehood to come forth and bless our
land. Statehood is essential to the vel.
being OF Arizona. On this there is no
division Of opinion, and 1t behoves us to
urge this important measure upon con-
gress to the end that our country may
be developed and prosperity smile upon

For the first time in the history Of
this town the republican and democratic
parties have put in nomination part.
tickets. Heretofore the republican Vot-
ers have always been in the ascendsncy
in msjorities ranging from 15o to to 200.
This majority means the election OF the
entire republican ticket, provided tn
republicans are true to themselves
and vote for the nominees of the party.
Although conscious of their numerical
strength, they made no efforts to put a
party ticket in the field, but this time
they have done so and We appeal to all
good repu ublicans to stand by 1t. This
move on the part Of republicans was
discouraged by the democrats, and it was
not until after the repu Olican nomina-
tions had actually been made that they
put out ticket. This ticket was forced
upon them by the republican nomina-
tlOue.

WOMEN AND THEIR WAYS.

GENERALLY speaking, woman is sci.

THERE are some women who seem to
be only good to love pug dogs.
WOMEN look into the back of book
first because they always want to have
the last word.-Puck

HINTS TO STOCKMEN.

The following words OF wisdom from
the Daily New MexJcan should be well
consid cred by every stock man in south
ern and central Arizona. The interests
of Arizona and New Mexican stockmen
are Identical Both are at present suffer
ins from dry weather and overstocked
ranges:
1t is unquestionably true that Q great
many stockmen in New Mexico have
made mistakes in the past year that
will serve as lesson in future. There
have been opportunities offered them to
sell at very fair prices, and a failure to
acsept these prices has prompted many
of them TO reflect on different policy
IN future. As rule, We believe it good
policy for our stockmen to thin out
their herds whenever reasonably fair
price is offered. ULder existing circum-
stances there promises to be no imme.
diate bUOm IN cattle, either this year or
next, and now that the Montana and
Kansas feeders have discovered the sd-
vantage of New Mexico as breeding
ground, and are inclined to come in here
and offer fair figures for feeders to be
shipped to and fattened upon the north
ern ranges, it ought to be the part of
wisdom to meet them half way. They
ought to be encouraged to come here,
and if they will offer $40 to sl4 for feed
ers our stockmen, many of whom are
over stocked and short on grass because
OF continued dry weather in some sec
tions, can well afford to give them a
show to purchase. 1t is the opinion of
many well informed cattle men that
very fair feeder can be produced in New
Mexico at cost not to exceed SO, and il
this is correct there ought to be good
profit in the figures likely to be offered
by northern buyers soon after the open
ing OF the new year. We note this fact
now in order to suggest to local stock
men that sixty days hence they will be
importuned to sell, and, under the cir
cumstances, "a bird infthe hand is worth
several in the BUSH" Watch the mar
ket, and when fair offer is made let
the feeders 60 north.

TACTICS OF TARIFF RE
FORMERS"

No little interest will center about
Washington when the new congress
gets into working order. With 6n over.
whelming majority Of shouters for tariff
reform in the popular branch, and the
knowledge that their attitude with
reference TO tariff legislation will be
watched by those to whom as much has
been promised as was offered from the
temples pinnacle in olden times, they
will of course maneuyer for a favorable
verdict from the grand jury OF American
voters. With so much at stake, and SO
little opportunity for dodging the issue
they have forced, opportunity may be
had for determining how far leaders IN
the reform" movement have wandered
from limits defined by the vaunted
Mills bill OF 1888, which was SO effectual-
! ly showed under in the elections Of that
year.
There are some good reasons for be-
lievirg that bat little effort will be made
to further commit the party to the Cob
den policy; but that with wisdom gain
cd through experience, energies will be
devoted to guerrilla attacks upon GER
tain features OF the existing tariff, In
which assistance Can be hoped for from
members Influenced by selfish or local
considerations. Recognizing the futil-
ity of asssiling the policy OF pro
lection with the avowed object
of supplantng it with free trade in
competing products, the advice OF
their patron saints is not likely to be ig-
nored. A few OF what may be deemed
the weakest among protected industries
will be singled out as sacrifices to the
free-trade Moloch, with the hope that
voters thus stricken can be induced to
aid 10 pulling other interests to the level
Of their own.
II is against this insidIous warfare
that protectionists shoald keep we'll

terisls," to which 1t is hoped to commit

successful than laborers and capitalists
thereby disadvsntaged will be urged to
join in crusade against all protected
manufactures. Already work along this
line has been started in New England,
where the promise Of free wool, free coal,
free ores, and other materials, are ex-
pected to dazzle the eyes aud turn heads
OF certain manufacturers; and concur
rently farmers and wool growers, with
owners and workers of mines, are urged
to make ready to strike back with the
demand for free trade throughout the list .
Of imported competing products. And
the shrewd advocates OF reform" can
safely be relied on to vote with both sides
when once the fight begins.

IT is not pleasant to reflect how the
prospector of the primitive type, the
hardy, adventurous explorer Of pioneer
times. is Fastening towards extinction.
In California this class Of men has al
most wholly disappeared from the scenes
OF their early labors, nor are they now at
all numerous in the more distant and
less settled mining regions, Like the
Indian and the buffalo they are rapidly
diminishing in numbers, and like them
are destined to early disappear alto
gether. In the course OF a generation
or two more they will figure only in his
tory and fiction, being as much an ex-
tinct species as the dinotherium or the
dodo. Mining Review.

WITH the advent of cold weather in
the east the tramp nuisance in the
southwest becomes at once a marked
feature in the history OF that section Cf
the country, and measures more or less
stringent, are always called forth to
abate it. California and Arizona is the
mecca Of this species OF genus homo,
and Tucson is particularly much cursed
with them at the present time. Under
existing conditions they strike a soft
snap when they reach here. They beg
IN the strests in the day time and at
night they prowl around and thieve. TO
protect citizens and property the police
run all in" they can find in the evening.
fhe result is they are housed over
nigtt, given a good breakfast in the
morning and turned loose to have the
same thing repeated when night again
tslfs. OF course, such treatment is
about as soft thing as they want, but
an end should be bad and speedily, 10
this procedure. Such treatment Of
loafers is a misspplicstion of charity.
The police are not at fault for Roche is
a terror to evil doors, but the city gov
ernment is. Many of the streets are in
wretched condition and a chain-gang
could be worked to much &C cvantage on
them. To manage the gang but one ad-
ditional policeman would be required,
and the good results obtained would far
outweigh any additional expense IL
CURED. II the mayor and council con-
slider the streets in irreproachable order
no such claim can be made so far as the
cemetery grounds are concerned. They
are grown up with brush aod are dis
gracefully out Of repair. A chain gang
could be worked theresbouts most ad
vanta2eously. We urge upon the coun-
Gil that it should be done. II would
give employment to the horde OF tramps
that now infest the place, and recon-
pense the city somewhat for the care
and trouble it is bsstowing upon them.

COUNCILMAN REID is making an active
fight for assessor and tax collector OF
this city, and the indications are that be
will win by a big majority. He is a
business man full Of progressive ideas,
and certainly possesses as thorough a
knowledge of the city and its properties
as any man in it. When the republicans
chose out Mr.. Reid for the Office they
did this with a full knowledge OF
his qualifications for the place. The
election OF Mr.. Reid means capable and
