MT. D. H. Dillon, who returned recently from Cataract mining dis trict, reports that the Supai Indians have been driven out of their hunt ing grounds in the Coconino Forest by the Navajos, who came into that country with 50,000 sheep and or dered the Supais to "get back into their hole in the ground, that they had no business on top of ground, anyhow" This works quite a hard ship on the Supais, who have here tofore lived in Coconino Forest dur ing the winter season, where there is an abundance of game, feed for animals and wood. During winter there is not sufficient feed for ani- mals, and but little wood in Catar- act Canon. The Navajos also threat en to come down and "clean out" the Supais crops.-Prescott Cour-

Representative Oates, of Alabama, tells little story from which he draws the moral that there is no need of a shot gun policy to inhu- ence the colored voters in the South. There is, he says, planter in his district, named Reynolds, who has two large plantations and employs several hundred negroes. He has built a Methodist church on one plantation and a Baptist church on the other, and he hires, at his own expense, two preachers. When the latter cannot settle the disputes which frequently arises, the congre- gations appeal to MT, Reynolds, and his decision is final. He looks af- ter the creature comforts of his men with such fidelity that, when elec- ton day comes, they go to the poll ing places and vote for his friend, the latter being in every case the Democratic candidate.-New York Times.

FORT BOWIE. Jan. IF.

Here is what the Avalanche says on an important question: The pension question will be one of the most important issues before the people in 1892. It will then have been thirty one years since the war began and twenty seven since 1t ended. The voters will be con- fronted with an annual pension out lay of about $150,000,000. This is a killing tax, not warranted by any principle of justice, equity or pat riotism. It was about 1874 that General Garfield, himself a soldier, apologised to the house of repre- sentatives for presenting pension bill making an appropriation of $3O,O00,00O, but he explained that in the nature of things the pension charge must grow less with each succeeding year. Instead of that it has grown with each succeeding session of congress, until now we pay more for pensions than is re- quired to maintain the standing armies of any European country. The southern members of congress fearing misconstruction, have been slow to complain, but the whole of the country are now becoming aroused to the necessity of check ing and reducing the outgo.

California has 2,675 of the glant trees still left, and of these the lar gest is thirty-three feet in diameter. Let every one of them be preserved. They are among the greatest natu- ral curiosities in this country, and cannot be spared. The cupidity and recklessness of men should not be suffered to destroy them.--N. Y. Independent.

The stock market rose last week, money was easier, and the financial situation showed adistinct improve ment. Nothing else did. Dullness in iron continues. Copper fell and is now 16 per cent below its highest point two months ago. Tin also fell. Lead advanced, possibly be- cause low prices last year reduced production. Chemicals, which lie at the foundation of all manufac- ture, are dull in all directions. Cot ton fell nearly half a cent pound, and the prospect of any recovery in print-cloths is farther off than ever. Woolens show a like report at the of the year. Boots and shoes for the first fortnight of the year show no advance over a year ago, an unsatisfactory sign.-Phila- delphia Press.

Gov. Pattison, of Pennsylvania, in his inaugural message, proposes to urge the legislature as strongly as he can to provide for a constitu- tional convention, so that the Aus tralian ballot system may be adop- ted in that state. The sincerity of the republican party in the matter of honest elections will thus be put to direct test It is notorious that the bribery and coercion at the polls are now as prevalent in Penn sylvania as they were in New York state until our new election laws virtually put stop to them. The chief states which now hold out against the Australian system are Pennsylvania, Ohio and Maine. In Pennsylvania, Governor Pattison hopes enough independent republi- can members of the legislature will join the democratic minority to pass the necessary legislation. So says the Albany Argus.

It has recently been noticed that

It has recently been noticed that a large number of light gold coins are in circulation, and the discovery has been made that the sweating is accomplished by electrolysis, The scientific swindler constructs an electro-deposition plant. using a ten-dollar gold piece as an anode and a small metal plate as a cath ode. The battery is 'set in motion" and, prestoI in a few minutes fifty cents worth of gold is deposited on the metal plate, and the gold coin is worth so much less than before. As the gold is removed equally from all parts of the surface of the coin, it's appearance is scarcely al- tered by the process, only an expert being able to detect the slight blur ring of the design and lettering.- Electrical Review.

 "This examination should be made immediately before the time of issue-the original packages be- ing opened and the contents sorted oyer, if necessary, for which pur- pose request may be made for a detail of competent enlisted men to assist in handling and re-weigh- ing the vegetables, in order that the troops may receive their full allow ancc,"
