SAN PEDRO JOTTINGS.
A Cloud Burst-Threshing Crops
The Cattle Outlook.

Another cloudburst in the territory is
reported, by Postmaster Corbett, this
time from the San PEDRO valley. A
week ago Sunday there came crashing
down Happy valley, feeder of the San
Pedro river, and rising in the Rincons, a
terrific sweep Of waters, completely inn
mersing the canyon, digging out and
carrying off great trees, and excavating
huge basins, one OF which is full 20 feet
deep. Fortunately the inundation did
no damage, the course Of the waters
being uninhaOited.
The farmers in the valley are engaged
in threshing their crops in the field,
some by machine and others by horses.
The crop is light owing to the floods of
last season. That left standing yielded
very heavily. The grain viii. be sold in
Tucson, Tombstone and Benson.

THE RAILROADS.
Southern Pacific and the Hopkins.
Searles Interest.
Los Angeles Times,

| Los Angeles Times.
The death of Mrs. Hopkins Searles
one OF the owners OF the Southern Paci
nc railroad, has given rise to speculative
| guesses regarding the future of the com
| pany. Though nothing is yet known
| about the contents Of Mrs. Searles' viii
| and the disposition of her immense
| property, those who come nearest being
on the inside can make pretty close
guesses IN relation to what the future
may bring forth. One San Francisco
railroad man. who IS said to be attached
to the legal department of the railroad
is quoted as saying thai the law firm OF
Hubbard Il Stillman have the late Mrs
Hopkins Sea-les' power OF attorney, and
that attorneyship lasts for their lifetime.
They are practically as much owners Of
the Southern Pacific system as Hunting
ton, Stanford and Croker. They can
do what they like-sell out or stay in.
He is OF he opinion they will sell out.
Searles has always been opposed to the
railroad business, and it was once an
open question whether he would not
succeed in his attempts to get Mrs.
Hopkins-Searles to dispose Of her in
terests. He did succeed in getting her
to sell her real estate in this city and in
vest in New York realty. Hubbard &
Still man, too, know nothing Of railroad
business, and it is not sure whether they
will not favor the proposition to sell. In
this case 1T is easy to say who will be the
purchasers. There are only three men
in the United States who would buy.
These mon are Huntington, Croker and
Stanford. The eastern men would not
buy one-third interest in the Southern
Pacific company, so they are practically
out OF the race. The informant of the
Chronicle says that Huntington has not
the capital to secure the interest. "Be
could raise it," says he, land would, but
L believe that Hubbard & Stillman
would close with an offer quickly, and
if not quickly would prefer some spirited
bidding for it. In this case Stanford
and Crocker combining could easily
command more money than Huntington,
and would buy in the Searles interest.
Then Croker would be elected presi-
dent, as that was once Stanford's wish.
The sum the Hopkins-Searles interest
could be bought for is from S30,0OOOCO
to S4O,OO0,0c0. The entire estate is worth
in the neighborhood of S75,OOO,OOO, and
the fees of the lawyer who will admins
ter on it will amount to S7,5OO,OOO-a
nice plum, truly"

Stolen Horses Recovered.

About the first Of April last two saddle
horses were stolen from Mammoth, one
belonging to Mr.. Dodson, the merchant
there. Though strong suspicious we're
had, there was little proof and it was
months. until the animals we're again
heard from.
A few weeks ago through Captain
Bulls, agent in charge at Carlos, it came
out that such animals as were lost had
been brought to the reservation early
in April, one being sold to an Indian
scout at Grant, who rode the horse
there. A Mexican ne:ghbor of Mr..
Dodson's was also pointed out by the
Indian as the party offering the horses
for sale. and he was arrested and is now
in Jail at Florence. The horses have
been returned to their owners.

BLAINE is hard man to interview

MINORS MARCHED OUT.
Police Court Scenes Too Tough
for Them-What Transpired.

When the municipal court opened for
business yesterday morning Judge
Cory took step which will be iudorsed
by every person whose business calls
him to the place where justice is dis
pensed to evil-doerS. The Judge called
for the Dailiff, Mr. Horan, and in few
words told him that in future all boys
and girls were to be kept out of the
court room, as they had no business
there, and the surroundings were not
calculated to benefit their morals. This
order was given under the powers
granted by q recent act of legislature,
which provides that judge may at his
discretion order all persons of tender
years out of a court room.
After the little episode the court pr
7 ceeded to business. A young woman,
arrested the previous evening for being
drunk and who gave the name Of Mary
Burns, forfeited $40 bail when her name
was called. The story III a morning

4 FIELD FOR EEEORT.

In view OF the enormously increasing
consumption of beer and malt liquors, a
useful field is opened up for practical
temperance reformers. They can aid to
minify the evil effects OF the conSump-
tion by giving their efforts to secure the
pureSt and least harmful malt beverages
that can be manufactured 1t is be-
lieyed that Increased supervision in this
field would be beneficial to great num-
berS of people. There can be few of
the extreme school that would have all
perVerSe drinkers poisoned to death at
the earliest possible moment The re-
formed Christianity is full of human
feeling. But the prevalent use of beer
i'll the towns makes it of growing impor-
tance that the production should not be
hurtfully aduterated or ingredients
used TO promote economy or the sala-
bic quality at the expense of the
health of the consumer. Fifty years ago
the average consumption of malt liquors
was l.35 gallons per head. The census
last year reported 1866 gallons per
head. The population has increased
three-fold, and the flow of the amber
fluid has swelled from the rivulet to the
mighty torrent. Taking out the chill
dren, men and women who do not drink
beer, and what ration there must be
for the regulars. But the strong liquors
have fallen away more than One-half
per head. and wines have hardly
doubled. 1t Will be seen that hard
drinking is less common than it was a
generation ago. People drink more in
quantity, but the alcohol is less. Yet it
is said that the most pernicious of all
the popular beverages is the beer that
IS authorized by prohibitory statutes,
with hardly per cent of alcohol. Still
there IS some room for philanthropic
encouragement.
St. Paul daily globe., 1891-04-30
FRENCH TARIEFS.

1t is very absurd project of the
French tariff commission to propose to
raise the duty II per cent Oh breadstuffs.
The crop this year is understood to
promise very great shortage, and in face
of the fact that large importations will
be needed the scheme is TO put up the
tariff. 1t will be. if carried, great bur
den to the working classes, who are al
ready pushed to live under the existing
prices. The possible fine market for
the American grain grower will be
leSSened as the tariff Is raised, but sug-
geStionS of the folly of the proposition
hardly come with grace from the land
of MCKINLEY. The object, however, is
not the same. The French statesmen
do not propose to tax the necessarieS of
the common people to enrich any class,
but to bring revenue into the
government treasury. There is no
annoying surplus there to require
smaller revenues. The trouble is the
same as with the other great powers.
The enormous and increasing military
equipments require more income.
France has for a long time been enlarg
ing its debt every year, and it is forced
to keep pace with Germany in the
strength of its army and navy. The i'm
ports that can produce revenue are
already highly taxed. To increase most
of them would be to prohibit. But there
must be an increase of importation of
cereals. The French consumers are
like people elsewhere. Last year, when
the Republicans spread the tariff on the
needfuls of life. the people retaliated by
kicking the party over. There is evident
danger in France that the bur-
dened classes would oyerturn the
government by the European and
South American method, and not
that of the United States. If
that extreme IS not reached, it is in
sisted that the workmen must deman
higher wages, and this will increase the
cost of manufactures SO that they can
not compete in the outside markets. and
serious disaster will enSue to the indus
tries of the conntry. A moderate tariff
on cereals, and even stiff one on hog
meats. would yield great revenue, and
be rational in view of the needs of the
government and the people. 1t will be
the safest for the administration, and of
most value to the producers of this
country.
