Tucson Then and Now.

Tucson It was here civilization s banner was first raised in Arizona ; here the Padres inspired with holy zeal erected their first altars and raised the cross of the Lowly Nag arene; calling around them the dusky children of this fair land they with inspired words told them the story that has given us martyrs and heroes in every land.
 From that time on Tucson has had a consecrated land ,laboring for the cause of truth, justice and all that tends to ameliorate the condi- ton of their fellow men.
 She has ever been one of Arizo- na's strongest cltadels of power, here for years were clustered her brawn and brain, ever ready to make any sacrifice to increase the prosperity of the land of thier adop- tion. Almost alone she contended with the cruel Apache, and could the history of the trials and suffer- ings her pioneers endured be writ ten, it would be filled with heroic deeds and unselfish devotion.
 She has seen sister cities spring up, some even rivaling her in wealth upon the ruins of de- parted race that to her were un- known, she has seen the torch of civilization glisten upon every mountain side and penetrate the gloom of every recess of this, the land of this occident, and today she stands as ever conscious of her strength and wealth and all that in- dicates prosperity.
 Surrounded by a mineral belt that is fast yielding it's wealth to her in dustrious people and herds of cat tie ranging upon every side aided by prosperous and enterprising farming communities to whom she is cemented by the metallic band of self interest, with population of progressive intelligent inhabi- tants, with her business in the hands of active enterprislng men she is to southern Arizona, as in the past, the guiding star of des- tiny.-Phenix Gazette.

The Filing up of Idle Currency.


 The return flow of currency from the country, following the autumn movement of the crops, always re. suits at this season in large ac. cumulation of lawful money in oul New York banks, but this year the accumulation has been extraordi nary. The amount largely exceeds that of any reserve heretofore held by the banks of the city during the whole course of their history, and it is most striking and interesting fact. Of course, it must be taken into consideration that the general stock of currency in the country is greater than it ever has been at any previous period. Since 1878 we have coined and practically put in to circulation about $400,000,000 in standard silver, and under the act of July 14th, 1890, we have issued, since that date, $8O,00OO00 in silver bullion notes. Against this increase, it Is true, must be offset diminu- ton of $17O,000000 in the Nation al bank circulation. but this still leaves a net currency gain of $310,- 100000, without counting our regu- lar annual gold coinage.
 Abundant currency leads to high prices and high prices attract sellers live keeponin the way we are going, this country will soon be, if it is not so already. the best market in the world to sell goods in. At present we are paying for our imports by ex- ports of breadstuffs and provisions, but the stoppage of gold imports shows that we do nothing more. What will happen another year. unless this years extraordinary conjunction of good harvest here and bad harvests abroad should again recur, it is easy to predict The disappearance of gold, which is wrongly feared as the consequence of a simple transition to the silver standard, will then work actual mis- chief. Europe will continue to send us goods, and not needing so much food as she does this year, she will take gold even if she has to pay premium for it. In this way our currency will be reduced by the amount of the gold distracted, prices will fall, and speculators who have bought goods with borrowed money and have kept them for a rise, will be ruined. Those only who have sold in season will come out with profit, but these are usual ly the exceptions. Success in one venture leads to a renewal ot the experiment, and thus men go on and on until they come out no rich CT than they went in, if, indeed, they are not poorer.
 With over $16O,0OO,O0O of curren- cy piled up in our banks, and money going a-begging at less than ? per cent per annum on call, and 4 per centand less on time, it will be mir acle if prices of things that money can buy do not rise allaround. Good interest bearing securities are al- ready exhibiting an upward tenden- cy, though the market for new ones is limited by the cautiousness ofin- vestors. Their caution must, how ever, ultimately give way to conf dence, as it has so aften done before under like influences, and then they will not be able to buy fast enough, New York Financier.

The obstacles iI the way of Ma tional legislation on this subject are very great, if not practically in- separable. A constitutional amend ment would be necessary, and it is doubtful whether a preponderance eff sentiment would not rather fa- vor leaving the legislative power where it is, with the States. There is no occasion, however, for dis couragement on the part of those who are aiding in the work of the National divorce reform league, for the reason that if they should fail in securing uniformity in State leg islation their experience would be exceeding helpful should it finally become necessary to make su- preme effort for a constitutional amendment.-Pittsburgh Commer- cial Gazette.

Divorce Laws.

The proposed constitutions
 amendment relating to marriage and divorce is one of the most i'm portant matters now before Con gress. Other questions are to a great extent merely relative, because the family is the basis upon which the Government rests, and its pres ervation Is therefore of vital neces- sity. The United States Senate heard some valuable thoughts on this subject expressed the other day by the Alliance Senator, Mir. Kyle, of South Dakota. The Senator is evidently not in sympathy with one of the growing industries of his State. He pointed out many start ling facts as to the dissimilarity of the divorce laws in various Com monwealths, asserting that the South Dakota laws are not more lax than those of numerous other States. The Senator's declaration that uniform law would be ben ediction both to bar and bench, voices the sentiment of every repu- table lawyer, and hIs statement that the National law would secure the stability of the marriage relation, preserve the family and home, and lay broad foundation for the per petuity of the Republic, is indorsed by every right-minded man and woman from one end of the coun- try to the other.-New York Her aid.

The influence of diet upon the growth
