With the impetus EOw being given to military affairs, Tucson -will have two companies as well drilled and organized as any part of the militia in either Arizona or New Mexico.

The UuiverSity.

The Fsberian of the CITIZEN; the man
 with the pencil. knife and paper sup
 ply, started Sunday afternoon in com
 pany with Surveyor Chillson to take in
 the views that surround and are em-
 bodied in that well known institution
 called the University of Arizona. A
 pleasant walk from the city leading
 nOrtherly by the Indian school brings
 one to the grounds of the University.
 and the elevation of this particular To-
 cation IS said, by the county surveyor
 surrounding. The University structure
 is built of stone from the we'll known
 Flynn quarry south of Tucson. Fine
 brick towers set off the appearance of
 the structure and it's. whole surround
 ings give it an identity seemingly ever
 lasting during the existence of Arizona in its territorial tunic and more sub stantially perpetuated in the service of ArizODas enhghtment as a state. Two fine residential cottages adorr the grounds in the neighbOrhOod of the University and are both neat and modern structures This being the term of vacation and the day of visit it. SCH DolUR one Ot rest anu TellBlOuS lQ- clinatlon the reporter did not intrude into the building to closely inspect the mining department, but was content for the time being with the reminders of horticulture that were manifest in the cultivated portions of the grounds. The tobacco plant seemed to thrive prolifcly and alfalfa likewise growing luxuriantly but the grounds are yet crude in pro portion to the transformation that will follow during the coming year. The scene of the surrounding valley and the city of Tucson as taken in an eye photo graph is, in immensity and appearance somewhat similar to the we'll known San Joaquin valley of California. In the Catalinas at the time, a vigorous shower of rain was in process, whilst in the distance in a southerly direction loomed up the famous San Xavi CT church and still further south, way be- yond, could be seen bobbing up above the southern ranges, similar to the steeple of some church, that well-kOown land mark of Pima county and South ern Arizona, the top or apex of which it is positively and indIsputably assert ed that the foot of man has never trod- the peak of the Baboq

Thee e maps are prepared by the government and will be accom- papIed by the field notes. They will be forwarded to Washington as soon as the field notes are written up.
 The board of Supervisors at their late meeting fixed the salaries of the officers for the ensuing ear as follows: Sheriff S400, district attorney S400 recorder S3O6, probate judge $500, treasurer $500 They cut of all the salary of the clerk of the court. The only reduction, with the exception of the clerk of the court, was in the salary of the probate judge which has been cut down S10O.

FREE-TRADE professors" pretended 10 sheer at balance of trade and say it re- presents no wealth
 A balance of trade is an index of a country's business, of Its purchases and sales, of its profits or losses.
 If it be profitable for an individual to sell more than he buys and thus have a balance of money-virtually a private balance of tTade-in his favor, why Is it not just as profitable for a nation?
 The beneficial effect of payment in cash need not be explained. Money, it is true, is no: censumable, it cannot be eaten or worn, but it has a far more important function. Money is the life of trade. Where money Is plenty busi- ness is active and enterprise awake Where money is tight" industry stag mates.
 So our country should welcome ia vorab'e balance of trade, and it should welcome the American policy that has given us favorable balance in the past or will give it in the Characterization Economist.
 In reference to tke above able com ments can be added those which effect us locally and with which We are brought face to face with more or less every day or every balance sheet that we strike of. Shall Arizona have a balance of trade against or for her in- dustries? If the money earned in this territory is promiscuously sent away the result is apparent. Trade will stag nate and a money stringeDcy occur which will cause a community to be dor mant and inactive for years, retard and distress real estate values and debar live men from Investing their capital ID a pers;stant slumbering and retogres- sive vicinity.

A GENEROUS RAIN.

The long wished for rain has put in an appearance, and a general feeling of satisfaction is the sequence. Grass, anH plenty of it, pasturage and plenty Of it, sleek looking cattle ard good beef in ti @ markets are now the prevailing surmises. The mountain ranges north of the city were the recipients of considerable rain during yesterday afternoon and during the night the whole sky promised an abundant rain which eliminated at an early hour this morning in a general down pour. The ram lasted for a couple of hours and the ground has been pretty thoroughly soaked. At this writing the clouds seem to suggest that the rain of the early hours of the morning was but premonition of what would take place throughout the day. This is but the first installment of the rainy season and coming as 1t did in bounteous quantities the cattleman, the farmer, the miner, the merchant likewise, and all who are interested in the welfare ot the Ter ritory can duly congratulate each other.

At Court Plaza.

A couple of hundred interested peo-
 pie attended the outdoor service at
 Court Plaza last evening, conducted by
 Rev. c. B. Carlisle. Taking, for the ar gument, the standpoint from which
 the companions ana intimates of the
 Christ looked upon hIm, that is, that he
 was human teacher specially sent of God. Mir. Carlisle made a strong, at- tractlve and logical plea for the applica- tiOn of this Christ-humau, or human Christ spirit, in the adjustment of these problems or lntemperance, labor and tariff; questions of a social, industrial and religious nature. He said that the remedies for these troubles must be in accord with the law of truth and justice as the Christ proclaimed 1t in his life, and living, and teaching. The speaker said to that law the centuries are com Ing. Christ was tremendously strong in the righteousness of his human nature. His righteousness had all the peculiari- ty of his human nature. We can never lose the human Christ in the divine Christ. He said, With the inspiration that comes to me in the study of this character, in my love of my kind, in my faith in my fellowmen, I must believe that 1t is possible for us to have men as leaders in politics, in business and in professional life, in social and industrial affairs; men in office and out, who will be actuated and mOtived as was the Christ. Christ's leadership furnishes the leftiest pattern of human excellence. It ought to be constant inspiration to men. It ought to lift men by the law of moral gravltation to higher plane of thought, and character and life.

THE ASSASSINATION PRICK

In this country every man has ar
 'inalienable right to life, liberty and the
 pursuit of happiness" and any body ot
 men seeking to take away these right.
 is as much tyrant, and traitor to free
 institutions, and would be a dictator who should seek to establish slavery oi | both whites and blacks in this country. Such attempts at tyranny by labor unions invariably destroy the union and leave the workman worse of than they were before,
 Labor unIons are desirable for the pro- lection of the weak, and when conduct ed with moderation and wisdom can, and often do, secure & recognition of their rights. Witness the association of locomotive engineers, winch has secur- ed many important advantages for its members, and is held in respect by em ployers. The Engineering and Mining Journal favors such unions; tut in the interests of the workmen, it utterly condemns such exhibitions of tyranny and brutal instincts as have recently been shown in Idaho and in Pennsyl- vania.-Engineering and Mining Jour- nal.
 A great writer has written it, and it has been so demonstrated in the history of nations, that there is an hour of tumplt and discord wherein comes to the surface ''sour faces, whining voices, the chatterIng of fools and the yells of mad men," Continuing, he says, "but be not alarmed for these clouds that are the harbingsrs of riot and rapine will pass away and the boistrous tumult will subside into a demandatory quietude" The attempt to assassinate Carnegie's secretary will naturally initiate against the cause of the hmaIgamated associa tion, unless satisfactorily explained away
 It is hoped that the laboring men of Pennsylvania can controvert the accu- sation brought against them, that this man Beckman was their paid emissary The people of the United States are con- servative, the foundation of the republic is based on law and order. In times of disorder the last means of the civic auth critics are strenuously used for the re- storation of order and when these fail then both arms of the nation, both civic and military are brought into requisition for the redress of existing conflicts and when this proves inadequate then it be- comes nothing short of civil war The labOring man has a power which he holds in his hands equally as strong as any capitalist in the United States and that power is the free franchise, the bal lot, power stronger than the sword or cannon and which does not require the shedding of blood to gain your ends.

ISIc NOT so?

Later on projects for Tucson's ad vancement that have been crystalized 1T the past will assume tangible shape and in addition to her adjacent mining re- ceipts, cattle interests, canal and irri gating services now in process of cons tructiop and projected, Tucson has ad- ded railroad construction. These may appear visionary sayings upon paper but such is not the case. Salt Lake City will at the proper time be connec- ted with Phoenix and Tucson by rail l. It has been the history of all new ter ritories. They have offered magnIti- cent crude opportunities that have made men rich who had business saga city and courage to grapple with them. Arlzona presents these same features today and there is DO locality within the confines of her marked boundaries that offer so healthful and solidly remuner- ative inducements as the we'll known county of Pima and the commercial city of Tucson.

THE SILVER CAUSE.

The man who is really in favor of the free coinage of silver should contend for It along the lines that are most likely to lead to success.
 We are and always have been heartily in favor of silver coinage, and in sup porting President Harrison we know that We are pursuing the policy which will best promote the silver cause. The choIce is between MT. Harrison on the one hand and Mir. Cleveland on the oth- CT. There is no possibility of electing Weaver.
 The silver men of Colorado must choose between Harrison and Cleveland, and every well-informed man in the state knows that, of the two, Mr. liar ison is the more friendly to silver. The difference between them is ID this, that while MT. Cleveland is a monometallist MT. Harrison is a bimetalist.
 Therefore, everything that tends to the election of Grover Cleveland is an injury to the silver cause, and this is just the tendency of MT. Patterson's third party movement in support Oi !, Weaver, Weaver cannot be elected, but if he secures the electoral votes of Colo rado, the election may be thrown into the house of representatives, and there MT. Cleveland. the monometallist, would be elected. This is so plain and simple that We do not see how it is possible for nybody to misunderstood the situs- tion.

We think there has been too much spite on the part of two or three silver advocates in congress for the last two years. They have simply stood in the way and said: Pass our law our way or We will have nothing" And when 8 proposition wa made to pass law for the free coinage and full recognition of American silver, they stamped upon that as a useless and fooli- b program where's, if they had earnestly worked for It, we believe they might have carri ed 1t through last year, and the evil which came of the demonstration would all have been stepped the next morning by the passage of the bill. It is all right for private citizen to nurse his spites and execute hIs revenge, but 8 man exalted as much as a member of congress ought to be, working unde- oath for his country, ought to keep Lis country and not his personal spites ID mind. The whole business has been shamefully managed, and the result is as predicted long ago-s dismal f4ilure.- Salt Lake Tribune.

On Rain.

It will be of interest at this time to note that the last year the first ram of any account fell on July 2lst, and that It raIned nearly every day thereafter during the rainy season. The year pre- v.Ous, which was a wet one, ram fell from July Sth to July 25th almost every day, and after fortbnight's cessation went at 1t again. In that year three inches of rain were recorded to July 12th. This year 70,1O0 is all we can show. The blg rain which occurred in go and washed out the N. NJ. & A. track and much of the $. P. came on Tues day night. July 29th, and during the storm ? and 30-1O0 inches of rain fell. For the month of July in that year f l6-l0O inches fell. From all this the conclusion is arrived at that we can ex- pect heavy rains from now unless all precedents fail this year.-Prospector.

Let's reason together. Here's firm, one of the largest the country over, the world over; 1t has grown, step by step, through the years to grestness--and it sells patent medicinesl ughl
 That's enoughl'-
 Wait a little
 This firm pays the newspapers good money Expensive work, this advertise lngD to tell the people that they have faith ia what they sell, so much faith that If they can't benefit or cure they don want your money. TheIr guaratse IS not indefinite or relative, but definite and absolute-if the medicine doesn'e help, your money IS 'on call"
 Suppose every sick man and every feeble woman tired these medicines and found them worthless, who would bs the loser, you or they?
 The medicines are Dr. Pieree's "Gold- en Medical Discovery" for blood dis eases, and his "FavOrite Prescription" for woman's peculiar ills. If they help toward health, they cost S1.00 8 bottle each! If they don't they cost nothing!

A FEW days since referring to the school teachers the CITIZEN uninten- tionally omitted the names of two most worthy ladies, Mrs. D. CT and Mrs. Leslie
 This was accidental. Mrs. Dyer is a teacher of well known ability in grade No. 3, and her experience ID the best schools of Oakland fits her for teacher beyond dispute. Her experience as a teacher in Tucson has extended over a period of four years and in comb ne with her attainments as a proficient in~ structress she is an acknowledged dis ciphnarisn. Mrs. Leslie, likewise, as a teacher of the primary grade has been in the service of the school department for years and during an active experl- encs of ten years has given entire sat:s- faction to those whose interests she has endeavored to serve most faithfully.

A BILL has passed both houses O.
 congress by an overwhelming majority,
 closing the Worlds Fair on Sunday. Of course as good citizens we must quietly [ acquiesce in the negotiable, but it IS none ! the less fragrant outrage and an abuse
 on the American people, to close the fair
 CD Sunday,the only day accessible to tens
 of thousands of good Americans, work
 men who cannot spare their time or
 money, however, much they may wish | to visit 1t on other days. This Sunday ] closing will virtually shut the door against the very men it should open the
 widest to receive. By the great mass of
 English speaking humanity Sunday Is
 not necessarily regarded as day for
 fasting and prayer but ratber as day of recreation and rest. Rest and recre
 ation for the toilers of the weex, for the men and women who for the SIX pre- ceeding days have wrought at theIr several occupations and earned bread for themselves and families, by the sweat of their faces.
 or what does this rest a nd re- creation consist to the average human ity? Not in long prayers, and church going for nine out of ten of the very men who voted for the iniquituous bill would shut the door of the fashionable houses in which they worsh p in the faces of the very people they, by their act, denied admission to the fair. but in the release of bodily and mental strain, in the conscious knowledge that one day in seven the hands and heads that aches from toll. shall be free from the cares of labor and the m nd diverted into new pleasant channels that make light the ardous duties of the coming week. New sights new, scenes and pleasurable as sociations inspires new courage and | hand in hand with the drudgery of life. l But the demagogues who pusillanimous- ly yielded to the bigoted clamOrs. of | few, have shut the doors of the nations | school house on the very day of all others upon which it should be opened widest.
 The Worlds Fair is supposed to be national and not religious institution and should be made common to all alike and instead of Instructions being placed in the way of visiting and viewing the wonderful exposition on Sunday better facilities should bs had for reaching it and cheaper rates should be provided for. But the fiat has gone forth, the buildings will be closed and those who cannot visit thegreat exposition on Sun day must stay at home and brood over the wrong done them
