The fact cannot longer be dis guised thatthe cattle interests of Ari- zona are in a very deplorable con dition. The Summer rains have been confined to narrow limits and the broad ranges have derived but little benefit. There are few fa- vored localities where feed is album dant, but in general the condition is very bad. The stockmen-those who survive the present drouth- will profit by this severe lesson, and will not only supplement the uncer- tain ranges by fields of alfalfa. but will discover that it requires as much to feed scrub animal as it does one worth double its price. A better grade of cattle will be placed upon the ranges. and while their number will be less, the calamity of overstocking will be avoided. As an industry it will bring far more satisfactory returns and place it up on footing wherein the element of uncertainty will be entirely elimi- nated.-Enterprise.

A Company has been incorpor- ated under the laws of New Mexico for the purpose of putting in big international dam across the Rio Grande for irrigating both in Mex leo and the United States. William Hamilton, of New York, is at the head of the scheme and the compa- ny is to incorporate with a capital of $10,000,000. The dam will be built about five miles above Fl Paso at Mountain Gateway. It will be about APO feet wide, of solid ma. sorry, from cliff to cliff resting on solid limestone foundation, and will be 700 feet high. Col. Addison Mills, of the United States Corps ot Engineers, estimates the cost of the dam at $3O0,O00. There will be two double iron gates on the Texas side of the canyon and two precisely the same size on the Mexican side.- Ex

Out in Kansas winds blow loud and strong, and the thunder roars frightfully now and then. Such Q storm came up one night when little Mamie had been put to bed up- stairs. She was scared and began to cry. Mamma ran up and com forted her: "God is up here with you, Mamie, and he won't let the thunder hurt you" Mamie was re- assured; but mamma had scarcely \ got downstairs when particular ly loud clap of thunder upset the little one completely, and she erred out: Mamma, you come up here and stay with bod, and let me go down there with gamma~-Colfax Stockman.

The Passing of Peck.

The arrest of Labor Commission CT Peck of New York marks the be- ginning of the end of the McKin- leyite diversion in that quarter. The warnings of the Republican papers like the Philadelphia Tele- graph, who cautioned their brethren against placing any confidence in Peck's report or his methods, have been justified by the event. From the evidence at hand itappears that the McKinleyite commissioner who has been masquerading in office as a Democrat has destroyed the evil dence On which he published his conclusions that the laborers of New York had received an advance of $6,O00,000 in wages and showed an increase of $31 100000 in pro- duct during the year following the adoption of the Mckinley tariff.
 The demand of the Democratic National Committee to see the orig inal returns on which the report was based was perfectly fair. The report issued as an advance and partial statement was avowedly for the purpose of influencing the com ing election. It is therefore of inn portance that the figures and re- turns on which it was based should be subject to inquiry and investiga- tion. The application of the Dem ocratic committee was refused con- temptuously by Peck. q will not give out the names of the manufac- turers who answered my circulars until compelled to do so by the highest court in this State," said the commissioner, and when meas ures are taken to get the order of the court, the supposed records are burned.
 The fact will destroy whatever little effect the alleged statistics may have had. Figures that will not bear the light of examination in court are not figures on which the voters will place any reliance, and when it is found necessary to commit an offense against the law to put the original data out of the way, they may be taken as thor oughly discredited.
 The episode has been interesting mainly as showing the desperation of the McKinleyites. The plan is new and unexpected. It was cer- tainly clever idea to start a fire from the rear by report from an official who has been known as a Democrat, purporting to show that a considerable increase in wages and production had taken place in the year following the passage oi the Mckinley Act. If the report had not been so readily riddled by a use of the known facts, it might have been successful in changing some votes. As it is, about the only practical result has been tc destroy Peck's reputation as a sta. tistician and to put him in danger of going to jail.-Examiner.
