No Uncertain Sound to the Silver Plank in the Democratic Terri
 tOrial Platform,

The silver plank in the Democratic platform as adopted by the Territorial Convention held in Tucson yesterday, is asperfect piece of common sense sil yer talk as has been presented by any convention held in any of the states of the union this year. It reads as follows:
 Resolved, That the restoration of silver to the place it occupied previous to the passage of the Mint act of 1873 is essential to the prosperity of the country and paramount to all other political considerations.
 Resolved. That the people of Ari- zona are in favor of the coinage of silver upon the same conditions which apply 10 the coinage of gold, and are opposed to elevating aEy person to office who is not known to be positive ly in favor of opening the hints of the United States to the free coinage of silver.
 Resolved, That the delegates elected by this convention to the National Democratic Convention to be held at Chicago on the Fist day of June 1892, be and are hereby instructed to cen tend for declaration in the platform of the party in favor ol free coinage.
 Resolved. That it is the sense of this convention that our delegates shall use all honorable means looking to the nomination for president and vice president Of candidates who favor the free coinage of silver.

It was the anxiety or some fellow at Phenix to make few dollars as asso- ciated press correspondent that caused the trouble Had 1t not been for him the the report of diseased cattle would never have been seen beyond Arizona. Both the Star and fKosrEcios putt lsbed contradictory statements re- gsrilisg the diseased cattle. but the thou ghtlf ss agent at Phenix did not ccasider this ot sufficient importance to telegraph.

Future Of the Colorado Desert.

The wonderful results Of irrigation have been
shown in most remarkable manner by freak
Of the Colorado river, says the MADEIRA (Cal. }
Mercury. Last year the mystery Of Salton lake
attracted tho attention and wonder Of the state
until its source was found in break in the river
bank. This year phenomenon not less won
derful is to be seen In the same region. The
desert has been transformed. The bare sands
that have made the region terrible to travellers
and stockmen have given place to verdure.
Underbrush has covered the country In the line
Of the inundation, and where only the hardest
Of desert plants could before maintain preca-
rtous struggle for existence luxuriaut vegeta-
ton now covers the land. The desert IL doomed.
III disappearance may not be seen by this gen.
GRAFTON or the next, yet the time is coming
when orchards and fields will cover the thou
sands Of square miles now given over to desola-
ton. The infrequent desert plant and the oc-
casional buzxard will give Wy to all the pro-
ducts Of the tropical and semi-tropical lands
that its position Is fit to raise. The day may
come when the present COLORADO desert will be
reckoned among the most productive land In
California. There was time when the plains
Of Kern and Tulare we're held but little more In
esteem than b the desert of today. The magic
power Of irrigation has transformed the old al
kali plains into garden, end II will do e much
for the dreaded Colorado desort
