Ex-President Cleveland has placed
himself outside the presidential arena oy
his recent utteranee on the silver ques-
ton. BY many he was thought ITO be a
great statesman, but has proven himself,
like Esop's mule, only an ass after all.
No man who aspires 20 the presidency Of
the United States can hope 10 reach the
goal be he pronounced gold-bug, and
Cleveland, through bis wanton attack on
silver, places himself among these glitter

We think it is about time for Congress
man Yandevsr to drop his scheme for the
annexation Of Southern California and
formulate some plan whereby California
may be divided and a new state formed
Of the southern portion, embracing with
In its limits the counties Of San Luis
Obispo, Kern, Santa Barbara, Venture,
Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino
and San Diego, and Mohaye and Yuma
counties, Arizona. This would give the
southern portion as large an area and
equally as rich territory as that embraced
In the older portion Of the state. The
other nine counties Of Arizoua could be
united with the western counties Of New
Mexico with the necessary population to
entitle them TO statehood This arrange
ment would be Of great benefit to both
Yuma and Mohaye, as at present the
very name Arizona seems 10 be obnox-
ious TO the refined sensIbilities Of capital
its. Eastern mining investors would
more readily pant with their money for
our mines did they know they were Sit
uated in Mohave county, California, as
the name California, to them, has for
years been associated in their minds
with the fabulous production Of gold
and silver. Our mineral resources are
ilimitabls and our annexation to Cali
fornia would give us the additional pres
tige of belonging to a state known the
world over for its production of the pre-
cious metals.

We would call the attention Of the
sixteenth legislature TO the the fact that
not one acre Of the vast amount Of land
granted the Atlantic and Pacific railroad
(and the Southern Pacific, ALSO in this
territory has been surveyed, although
the greater portion has been conveyed to
individuals and corporations. In Wall4-
pal valley alone one New York syndicate
holds four million acres Of these granted
lands upon which not one dollar OF taxes
have been paid, nor can any be collected
until survey has been made. The leg
islature now in session should memorial
ize congress TO make the necessary ap-
preparation for The survey Of these lands
and thereby add several million dollars to
the taxable property Of the territory.

The editors of periodicals at the pres
ent time have undoubtedly the disa-
greeable task of reading much poetry
which is not only unavailable" but
utterly without merit; still, as the taste
of the majority of readers in this gen
Grafton is for that which is cheerful in
poetry as well as in prose, it is not
likely that any editor today would
have such a depressing list of rejected
contributions as the one printed in a
magazine which bears date over fifty
years ago.
MY Wife's Grave" midnight" "
Lament Over the Grave of Wife" +"
THE Poets DOOM" Reflections, "
ION Hearing the Eulogy of a New
Friend, ""Vengeance," ""Let Me Weep"
'The Poetry of Tears" and "Alone. "
Such are the titles of these unavailable
poems.
1t appears that the articles accepted
were of much the same character, al
though they probably displayed marks
of genius which induced the afflicted
editor to accept them: Autumn Mus
ings," ''The Last Song Bird" THE
Mourner," "The Bereaved," Shadows
of the Past, Solitude" and "Passing
Away"
II any poems of more cheerful or
der were received, they were certainly
not considered worthy of any notice in
that number of the magazine. e.-Youth's

He said the members of tine council

The klckers at the council are all
men who will not work themselves
to better our city government, men
who cannot be got to serve on the

nothing but resist all Improvement. "
The alderman delivered himself of
some vigorous English.

Cierard the famous French lion
Killer says in his Adventures" that
teething is an important crisis in the
life Of the lion cubs and that large
number of the young die during that
period.
When the cubs have finished teeth.
ing the lioness leaves them for few
hours each day, and on her return
brings mutton, carefully skinned and
torn In small pieces
The Arabs, on discovering litter of
cubs, watch for the departure of the
honess, and then rob her of the whelps.
They post themselves on a high cliff
or a tree overlooking the lair.
As soon as they see the lioness 60
down to the plain, and are sure that
the lion Is not near, they creep to the
lair, wrap the cubs In the fold of their
burnoose In order to smother their
cries, and carry them to the edge of the
woods where men are waiting with
horses.
One day sixty Arabs surrounded the
woods where there was a lair, and by
shouts tried to rouse the lioneSs. She,
however, remained in her hiding place.
Several Arabs then crept into the
tliiohet and brought out the whelps.
The Arabs, pleased at their success,
were retiring to their tents, thinking
they had nothing more to fear. Sud
denly the sheik, who was on horseback
and little behind his men, saw the
lioness rushing out of the woods di-
rectly at him.
He called, and his nephew, Mecaoud,
and his friend, Ali, ran to his aid. The
lioness sprang at the young nephew,
who, facing her with his gun at his
shoulder, pulled the trigger when she
came within six or seven feet. The cap
only exploded. The youth threw the
gun away, and presented his left arm
wrapped in his burnoose.
The lion seized the arm and began
crushing the bones. The young man,
without cry, drew his pistol and fred
in her breast. She dropped the arm
and bounded on Ali, who fred ball
down her throat as she sprang at him.
He was seized by the shoulder and
thrown down, but the lioness, before
she could injure him greatly, expired
on his prostrate body. The nephew
died the next day.
