MAGNIFICENT RESORT.
One That Will Bring Thousands Of
 Sightseers to Arizona.

The Grand Canyon of the Colorado situated in Cocon;no county, Arizona
 has future before it that few as yet
 dream of. 1t is admitted by many who
 have travelled extensively over the Unit
 ed $ a'es and over Europe that it is a
 grand piece of natures work and many are they who speak enthusiastically of
 this one of natures grandest specimens
 It IS Tn magn 'ticence to Arizona what the Yosemite is to California. In close proximity to the S. n Franci co noun
 tains with its large forests ard beautiful lakes the name of the Grand Canyon will be heralded thrOughOue ht the East as the wonderland of tha West and dur ing the season whilst the Worlds Fair is ID progress there will be thousands of tourists who wi whilst on their way westward. sop over at this now famous and picturesque spot and felst upon scenes unI walled in the United Sta es. Imagine gr-at chasm in some places Is mil from rim to rim and mic and a half below river, the Colorado, like a silver thread in appearance. rushing its way towards the Gulf of California. Cast your eyes around and upon all sides the most beautiful scenery rewards you for the effort. The ever picturesque San Francisco mountains are near at hand with their towering pine trees and below in the valley beautiful lakes is- ten one after another in the noon day sun as prophetic banisbers of any feel ing of dryness whilst occasional snow capped peaks laugh at an atmosphere of torridity and looming up like fir gd sen- tinels act as an equal ger in forming climate unsurpassed on the Pacific coast. Under these most favorable auspices there is no reason to disbeliave but some energetic hotel man will take in the situ- ation and get ready for the invasion of pleasure seekers that will be there next spring and summer as sure as the Worlds Fair takes pace. California and Colorado have their summer and far famed resorts has T ot nature likewise en- dowed Arizona? The next step is for energetic American enterprise to make the endowment useful and complete.

Perished on the Plains.

Thursday afternoon Mexican brought in word that the remains of a Cbinaman had been discovered across the river. near the Tempe road Ex Ofiicio Coroner Stillman immediately empaneled a jury consisting of John Whitelaw, A. Lancer. Dave Gibson, John RuckleshtL sep, c. F. Palmer, T. l.. Stouffer, foreman. They teok the informant with them for guide.
 Arriving at the scene, the remaine proved to be of a man who had been dead two or three weeks. The body was wasted to almost a skeleton. the flesh having either decayed away or been picked off by the denizens of the plains, with the exception of the legs below the knees, protected by the boots. The drawn. skin of the face was, how ever, sufficiently intact to make recog- hilton possible to an intimate acquaint- ance.
 The type of features favored the Mongolian race. A Chinaman present at first thought it to be the missing Lee Look. The head was brought to town for identification, and at the ln- quest held the next day, was definitely identified by a number as that of a Yaqui Indian, known about Florence as "Zacharias." his real name was Jose Checo, and his residence at Adamsvi le. Ills wife died several months ago. He leaves a daughter in Mesa. People who employed the man speak highly of him as steady, hard worker.
 It appears that the man attempted to walk firm Mesa city Jo Florence, and prooabiy fell exhausted in the sun, from exposure and thirst.-Florence Tribune.

THERE can be little doubt of the pop

THERE can be little doubt of the pop ularity of the presidents retaliation proclamation when two senators as wide apart, politically and geographical ly, as Paddock of Nebraska, and Nor
 gan of Alabama, join in commenting it. Senator Paddock says the message meets the unanimous appreciation of the people of the northwest, regardless of political opinions, and that it will be the same with more extreme measures, should it be deemed necessary by the president to adopt such. Senator Nor gan endorses the message, but regrets that it did rot contaIn a more radical system of retaliation. He says that Canada has always been bad neighbor, and has never lost an opportunity to make herself disagreeable and offensive, and that its government has persistent ly disregarded our rights from the seal fisheries of Alaska to the fisheries of the eastern coast, and that he thinks the president might with propriety have gone much further in hls procla- mation than he did, even to the extent of preventing the shipment of Canadian goods through the United States. The expressions of Senator Morgan in this connection, are so broadly American and patriotic and sound so strange coming from a man who belongs to the same party that adopted that free trade platform at Chicago: 1t is," said he, "ridiculous and shameful for a counry like this to be thinking always of what foreigners think or want. This country is too big to be trotted on England's kee and fed with pap. We are responsi
 ble for tEis country, for this hemisphere and we should think and act for our selves, with independence of the opin- ions or customs of foreigners. We are capable of producing anything that the human heart can desire and We are in dependent of the whole world outside"

THE CITIZEN has been authoritatively informed that Hon. N. O. Murphy will not allow his rame to go before the Re publican convention as Delegate to Con gress. This will disappoint many Re publcans who believe that with Gov ernor Murphy at the head of the ticket they could sweep the political checker board at the coming election. As mat ters nov stand, however, the declination of Governor Murphy must be accepted as final. IL is useless, therefore, to look farther in that direction. Fortunately for the welfare of the party we have many Republicans in the Territory that can lead the Republican hosts to victory and upon whom much of the responsi- bility of the coming campaign will fall. The hour will always ind the man, so between now and the time for holding the nominating convention. We conf dently expect to hear the name of the coming man, a name that will mean victory in November next

THE CITIZEN rises to acknowledge the
 receipt of a copy of the Official Pro- ceedings of the Democratic Central Committee of Pima County" It was re- ceived on a huke of a galvanzed aer- motor, guaranteed to run on purely Dem ocratic wind. The proceedings recite that "Mr. Chas. Hoff resigned as delegate and nominated Mir. Samaniego." The truth more bluntly told is that MT. Hoff got off flor the sake of harmony" and DO enc is more familiar with the procedure by which he got off than is MT. Hoff himself. When the committee had been made up 1t was again gone over before the final bolts were put in. and in the dulcet strains of one of the faithful it was discovered that they hadn't got no Mexican on the com mittes." To rectify this oversight both a nod and wink was given to Mir. Hoff. so he went ashore aud Hon. M. G. Sa- maniego proudly walked aboard. An intimation as broad as the Irishman's who said, you stole my coat, you bugger. you, and take that for a broad hint," was not lost on MT. HOff when they needed "a Mexican on the committee"

OUR HOME TRADE.

Tucson having woke up to the neces- sIty of attracting purchases at home in- stead of abroad has begun to derive the benefit of such energetic display by re- ceiving an increased custom. People who owned real estate here have iIdis- crimiDately heretofore sent abroad for all manner of purchases thoughtlessly neglecting the argument that every dol lar so sent away decreased the commer- cial rating of. the real estate that they themselves owned. If merchants in our locality do not receive the support that is due them they can neither build nor improve property nor enhance the footage valuation of the ground their establishments occupy. The great value placed upon real estate in big cities is the demand in which such places are held on account of the patronage accord ed them as business sites and successful trade depots Tucson can likewise profit There is none too old to learn.

THE MOVEMENT oFMARS.

The Tucson astronomer after suppe
 on the evening of the 3rd of September
 not possessing Lick Observatory han
 dy nor any of the powerful lenses con tained in that renowned conservatory ! of observation, assumed to get the best glimpse of those great luminaries the
 moon and Mars as they paraded before the observant world and passed one an-
 other, so to speak, in the performance
 of their functions bearing upon the cor
 rect workings of probably the entire
 universe.
 The naked eye was first ussd as an observing factor (the night being beau tifully clear then a hand telescope was used and the man in the moon brought forward so clear and distinct that he resembled a politician. Mars seemed to be at a greater range from the earth and glared and flashed and sparkled and snapped as If in a contest of some world wide import to the universe at large. The two planets were close ap- parently to one another but 1t took hours before tEe seemingly foot of space existing between Mars and the moon was closed. When this space, small as 1t seemed from an earth's observation, was closed, 1t seemed an age before the two planets going in the same di- rection could gain much headway over the other. Finally aitsr a tiresome wait extending over an hour or mora the fierce little red star that was last seen to the east of the moon now peeped out of 1t flashing and sparkling as brilII ant as ever, having scored a great VIC tory in manlfesting to the average hu- man being that the fiery planet of war was more rapid moving body than the more peaceful and placld moon.
 Those who sat up along with the Tue son astronomer watching the early morning gyratlons of these two famous planets as they were making for the homestretcb, witnessed a novel sight as the little luminary known as the god of war went over the horizon line and pull ed ahead of it's contestant SIX lengths under the judicial wires of the 3rd of September. 1892, whilst its more bulky opponent, the luminous moon almost turned a complet5 sOnersault over the western hOrizonical embankment in an effort to prove to the world at large the degree of speed of travel as existed between the two planets. The heavenly planets have been unusully brilliant In 1891 and 1892 and what this war planet IS after, or what it forebodes or what 1t IS prophecy of on its rapid mission with It's unusually attractive brilliancy and exceptionally close ap- pearance to the earth during the sum- mer of 1892 remains for higher focus power to assert than the astronomical predicter of ArizonP.

Found Dead.

It IS not mystery this time, but a cold case of death by natural causes Coroner AlvOrd. who went to the Hla- chuca mountains yesterday to hold an inquest on the body of man found dead in Carr's canyon, returned to Tom bst one about midnight last night. He summoned a jury when he reached there and after taking all the testimony and view ing the remains, verdict was rendered that deceased was miner named Burt Brown and that he came to his death from natural causes,
 He was found sitting m a cabn belong ing to Mr. Todd. He had cracker-box for seat and hs head was buried m his arms which were folded on the table in front of him. His position with sub- sequent evidence went to show that he died while suffering from cramp.
 Upon the floor of the cabin by the side of him were found two pieces of note paper on which he had evidently been keeping diary while slowly dyIng. It was without date, but paragraphed as though written at intervals. It reads as follows:
 Sore stomach, dizziness all the time, very weak: not eaten anything to amount to anything for three weeks; had rlight touca of malarial fever three weeks ,go: make water often which is dark; been working at the mines in Blsbee and think it is caused by the water; bowels loo' e; have sick -"

A BORN CALCULATOR.
Won derful Mental Feats of a Mathemat-
 icaI Prodigy.

iCdA GrOulesys
 This gift, like Blind Toms musical talent, very often is accompanied by rather inferior mental power or even very defective intellect in other re- spects. Columbus (Kan.) correspon- dent of the Scientific American gives the following notes regarding the pro- digiOus calculating faculty possessed by Reuben Field, native of La Fayette county, Mo, about forty-five years old.
 Field is described as "a very strong, heavy-set man." He never went to school, even day, for the sole reason that he was always regarded as an idiot He can neither read nor write, and his reasoning powers have never developed beyond those of a child of the most ordinary intellect. In the face of these facts, however, he has the keenest perception of the relation of numbers and quantities, and is able, as if by instinct, to solve the most intri- cate mathematical problems. He does not know figures on a blackboard, but he understands them perfectly in his mind. No one has ever been able to ''catch him" in multiplication or in division. He has been given such prob lens as: ''The circumference of the earth is, in round numbers, 25, ,OOO miles. How many flax seeds, allowing twelve to the inch, will it require to reach around it?" Within a minute he re- turns the answer: 19,OOS, ,0OO, ,OOO.'
 If the distance to the sun or to any of the planets is taken, he answers with as great ease. If given the day of the month and the year on which an event occurred, he instantly gives the day of the week. But what is yet more re- markable is that he can tell the time at any hour, day or night, without ever missing it, even a minute. If awakened out of deep sleep in the darkness of night, and asked the time he gives it at once. Once in my office I asked him the time. He replied at once: Sixteen minutes after three" In order to test him, drew him off upon some other question, not letting him know my ob- ject, and when seventeen minutes had passed, looked at my watch and asked him the time He said: ''Twenty-seven to fOur"

Struck by a Rattler.

A rattlesnake buried its poisonous fangs into ht,le Charlie Rittenhopse's left ankle last Friday morning, at PI- cacho. The boy was 13 years of age, and was playing with a companion at the time. Mir. Elliott, who was near by, immediately scraped the poison frem the wound with pocket knife and ap- piled ''golondrina," or snake weed. Then tying the ankle up in baking powder the boy was hurried to Florence to Dr. Barry's care. The foot swelled lttIe and turned black, but gave very little pain. and in three days was fully recovered.
 The snake was killed. He had eleven sections to his rattle, but he gave no warning. Rattlesnakes are blind in the hot summer weather and arc said to be unusually venomOus.-Florence Fri bune.

THE PIMA DEMOCRACY.

The peanut policy of that one-lunged individual known as the Democratic
 party of PIma county, has struck the keynote of defeat in November next. Two months ago they were full to the chin of rip and exteEminstion. The county offices were looked on as summer
 bargains to be paid for on the install- ment plan, and it was positively assert ed that delegations of the faithful visit ed the several offices for the sole pur- pose of familiarizing themselves in the masterly manner by which the Repubii- cans held them down. The court house became more popular with expectant office-holders than an art gallery or a wax figure museum For Men Only" The possible candidates. presented a solid front, and ripe-layiGg for the nom nations was carried on both day and night, but unfortunately for that har- mony which forced Secretary Hoff out of line, there were either too many prospective candidates or not enough offices and blood rose on the fair face of the moon. Every prAempt0r of an office was met by counter rush that would make the great John l.. tcrn pale, as the black bottle was up-ended and the fred eye" ran m the groove of supposed popularity. Fully four-fifths of the Democratic party has been pledged to vote for one candidate or an- other and manifold abstracts of title to office, with liquid suggestions as to de- livery, have been made over every bar in town.

IF by book or crook the fat man of Buzzards Bay should be called to the Presidential chair and Editor Hughes be persuaded to sit at the head of the table for the distribution of the political loaves and fishes in Arizona, how the high kickers would twist and squirm, as the body of the defuuct Democracy lay unshrouded in the morgue of Editor Hughes displeasure. The cats on the roof would be silent for the Star Hall would be the Mecca towards which the present kicking Democracy would hasten to bow the knee. The dose would be as deadly as the cholera and nothing but an office could afford prompt relief.

It speaks volumes for the marvellous rapidity and intensity with which the Russian influence is encOmpassing all the countries, nations and governments of Asia that the Japanese government has introduced into the house of con- gress bill making the Russian lan- guage a branch of instruction obliga- tory upon the schools of the land. By admitting the language of the Russian empire as next in importance to their native tongue, the Japanese practically recognize their intercourse with Russia to be the most important of their inter Japan, says the Novoe Vremya, intend to engage natives of Russia to teach their language at the public schools.
