A Woman Who Bees That saloon Keepers
Shall Not Sell Her Husband Liquor.

A Woman who BeGs That saloon Keepe, {
Shall Not Sell Her Husband Liquor.
The Commissioners several lays ego received
pathetic appeal from . poor woman, who
stated that her husband was an habitual drunk
ard and had been drinking heavily since the
previous Saturday, during which time abe was
in mortal terror Of being burnt up or killed.
She says he gets the whisky from q licensed
place which is within one mile of the Soldieu'
Home, and piteously asks how ID 10
that these people get their license when II IL
within the prohibitory limits. She sayt that
she has gone to these saloon keepers and ssked
them not to sell her husband any more whisky
for her sake and the sake Of her children and
their answer was that they could not refuse
him. In conclusion she appeals to the
Commissioners to do something for her
as soon as possible. The woman in question
lives at Terra Gotta. The papers were imme-
diately sent to the chief Of police for report,
endorsements upon the papers, "There is q law
against selling 10 habitual drunkards. is there
not. and should not this dealer be prosecuted2''
The papers were then referred to the prosecut-
ing attorney Of the District, Mr.. Neal Dumont.
NO REMEDY At Law.
He reviewed the case at length snd submitted
the following reply: 'sThere is no law to pro-
hibit any one from getting drunk. Being drunk
is not a crime, or rather IL not violation Of
any law. In some Of the states it is crime to
be drunk, and two or more convictions consti-
tutes one, by virtue Of conviction, an habitual
drunkard, and to sell to such Is a crime.
To our misery and that of this poor
soul we have no such control. The husband may
be called an habitual drunkard, az a legal fact
he is not such, and there is no law here to reach
the liquor dealer who sells to him. Perhaps
some condition might be inserted in the bar
keepers license IL Congress gave power to in
sert it." The Commissioners, IL is understood,
will bring this matter before Congress at its
next session and if possible get permission to
insert such clause in each license.

it is sure that the shrinking fraud Of

and passed on. 1t is farther known
that money is all powerful, and that

and IL the preparation of further fraud

are men Of the highest probity, selected

OF ali that has been written on the
Farmers Alliance movement nothing has
come nearer the truth than the state
ment made by General Alger in San
Franc SEQ, on Monday last. Whsn inter
rogated on the pr liability of the ALI
ance putting q political ticket in the
next presidential campaign, he said:
$50 far as the Farmers Alliance is con-
cerned, ] am not among those who be-
lieve that that organization will have
any material effect upon the result of
the coming election. 1t is true that
the farmers are paid more poorly fol
their lsber than any other class Of ouI
citizens, but | do not think that they
will allow themselves TO be used merely
for tho sake o. putting one party cut vi
power in order to give the reins of gov
eminent to another. There is a great
deal Dsing said about the democrats
encouraging the the third party move
ment IN order 10 throw the election of a
president into the house of represent
tires, and this, OF course will be duly ex-
planned before the campaign closes.
Now, the farmers are a thoughtful class
of men, AID no doubt are already think
ing these questions over very seriously,
and the various political schemes are IN
masked they will not be victlmized. Be
sides all that, patriotism and love Of
party are strong with the farming ele-
ment, and when the two great parties
are brought face to face in national
contest side issues will be almost entire
ly forgotten. Another thing is that do
net see how the farming class car array
itself against ell other classes. No class
or industry can afford to do so, and this
the farmers are almost sure 10 realize.
Il is my belief that farmers should or

AN ENGLiSHMAN'S BOOTS,

Sure Way to Recognize One OF Johnny
Bulls Subjects.
1t is a fact perhaps not generally
known that the surest way to tell the
Englishman abroad is by his shoes. or,
as he calls them, his boots. They are
invariably thick and clumsy in appear
ance, with heavy soles, more like q
cowhide boot than anything else. They
are made to wear and are as much SUI
perior to the American article in this
respect as the latter is better in point
of looks. An Englishman, but long
since AmericaniZed, thus tells how he
spotted fellow-countryman of his by
his boots. He had received telegram
that an old friend Of his English days,
who was returning to England from
Mexico via the States, would be at the
Palmer house on q certain morning.
He had not seen the man for eight
years and his face was utterly forgot
ten. The hotel clerk could give no
further information than that the
Englishman in question was some
where in the rotunda, and that he wore
light-checkered trousers. Whereupon
the EngliSh-American began to scruti-
nize all the trousers that sat, stood or
walked within the rotunda- At last he
saw pair that seemed to answer the
description. They fitted badly, more
over The owner carried stout stick,
wore a sort of shooting jacket, and an
air of independence. The looker-on
thought to himself: Il believe that
must be an Englishman. But yet"
Then his eyes glanced downward again
until they reached the boots The
sight was enough. 1t recalled memo
RIGS that nothing else had been able to
awake. He went up TO the man with
the boots and was not mistaken. 1t
was his old friend. Afterwards the &C
cent and such phrases as: 20, say,
you know" That's the game, Is it,"
brought ''the English of it" very en-
phatically home to him, but it was the
boots that really did the trick. The
traveller wondered afterwards in a
naive way. because; az say. don't
know why, but these fellows ali seem
TO know I'm English My friend ae-
quiesced in wonder, openly. Secretly

THE CHA LAND DISTRICT.

The ella land district Of which the
United States land Office is situated in
Tucson, is comp ised OF the counties OK
Cochise, Pima, Plnal and ella, and por-
tions Of Msricopa, Graham, Apache and
Yuma The line of demarcation bstween
the CHA and Prescott land districts is
the First Correction line north, or the
First Standard parallel north OF the base
line Of Arizona which passes through
the confluence Of the ella and Salt
rivers, easterly and westerly, commenc-
ing on the Colorado, y miles in an air
line north Of Yuma, and runs directly
east, passing north Of Phenix II miles
south Of Wickenberg, and 20 miles north
OF Globe, and strikes the New Mexican
line ~ miles north Of Clifton, Arizona.
The area OF this land district comprises
45,31S square miles or nearly 30,0oO,oOO
OF acres, exceeding in size the great
state Of Pennsylvania 318 square miles
or 203,520 acres, but notwithstanding
the enormous size of the ella district it
ia less than the Prescott district by
1900 square miles or 14,720,OO0 acres.
A casual glance at the foregoing shows
AriSona to be not an estate but an en-
pire capable of great and animated
possibilities when its vast resources,
now practically untouched, shall have
been developed. Inclusive OF the lands
contained in the Indian and Military
reservations the approximate amount OF
land entered at the Office il this district
amounts TO but one thirtieth
OF the whole area. The room for
profitable investments in Arizona
are equalled by no ether state or terri
tory in the Union. The little that has
been done is Indicative OF what can be
