HON. c. B. FOSTER, better known t. the country as Bert" Foster, died ir Prescott few days since, after a short illness. He was an old timer in Arizona and was much respected by all who had tLe pleasure of hls acquaintance. He was apparently in the prime of life and his death being so wholly unexpected it will fall heavily on his many friends. He was territorial treasurer under Gov ernor Zulick and during his residence in Arizona held a number of important offices. He will be mora than missed, es- pecially in Yavapai county, where for many years he made his home.

Two years ago Carlisle and other dem ocratic leaders worked their bralne vigorously trying to devise means by which they could Eget Speaker Reed s doctrine as to counting quorum De = fore the supreme court for prompt de- cision. They failed to contrive any such scheme, and they ought to feel glad of it TOW. The supreme court has at last got round to the matter and has decided by unanimous vote, the democratic justices concurring, that the repn blicans were right, and the rule as to counting quorum is valid in every respect If such a ruling had been announced while the democrats were still bowling tyranny. oppression, and czarism they would have been caught in doubly ludicrous plight. Cheap aud foolish as they must feel now the yought to be thankful that they had two years to cool off, and the country the same length of time in which to let the matter fade away before the decision of the supreme court was announced.

IN reply to number of inquiries We have to say that several bills have been introduced into the democratic house providing for reductions of the pep- sions now paid soldiers of the late war. The one introduced by Congressman Dickerson is the most sweeping, provid- ing as it does that any soldier of the late war that is now, or may hereafter be on the pension rolls, who did not en- gage in any battle, nor incur any dIs- ability while in service, and who served less than three years, shall receive not more than three quarters of the amount now fixed by law Any soldier who served less than two years shall receive not more than one-haf of the pension fixed by law, and any soldier who served less than one year shall receive not more than one-quarter of the pension. This bill of course is intended merely as feeble beginning. What is wanted now is to establish a precedent in that way of reducing the rate of pension paid veterans of the fate war When they get the necessary precedents and the democratic party is throughIy warmed up to the labors of pension cutting the bourbons will do some work that will make people open their eyes.

CATHOLIC CHURCH ROBBED.
Articles of Church Paraphernalia oi
 Value Stolen Last Might.

The Catholic church was robbed last night of articles of more or less value probably less than the thieves expected. Among other things largest in bulk and probably to their thoughts greatest in value, they evidently mistaking shining brass for the yellow gleam of gold, was large cross, two feet and half high and of solid brass. Probably it was held as gold and as such taken.
 When the church was unlocked this morning a window opening on the street was found open. Beside it lay 8 small bar. ID the tabernacle articles of small value were found scattered about on the floor, doors were pred open, and many articles of church paraphernalia taken. An exact account of the goods taken is not ascertainsble, but chief among them are:
 Two ciboriums of silver, value about s75.
 Two chalices, value about S20
 Two ostensoriums, value about S15O.
 Several small vessels, an old cassock in which the property was evidently wrapped and the brass cross com prised the remainder.
 One of the ostensoriums was the most valued piece in the church, having with one of the ciboriums, been brought from the San Xavier mission From an intrinsic standpoint it was worth s1OO.
 The tabernacle in which the goods were deposited was prled open by a pair of scissors. It is supposed that they will be melted down by the thieves. So far no arrests have been made.

THE recommendations and suggestions of the county seat postmasters, who re- gently submitted tEelr reports to the postm master-gepeTal, after visiting the officers in their counties, are now being considered ID all their details by the different bureaus of the department. Tke reports from the county seat post postmasters generally had letters ac~ conpanying them and emphasizing the most important suggestions. These letters were referred to the different bureaus. Of the 2,2O0 postmasters who made the visits, fully two-thirds made suggestions. These included recon. mendations about the discontiLuance and establishment of offices, the curtail- meIt CT increase of star-Toute service, and changes in a few cases where post masters seemed undesirable. In such matters as the posting of the anti- lottery law and the supplying of in struction in the keeping of accounts, etc, the recommendations Were of course carried into effect personally; but ln the larger changes ID the service reference to the proper bureau of the department was necessarily had. This work is now going on, and every one of the hundreds of suggestions made is followed up until it IS carried out or it is found impossible to carry it out.

PRESIDENT HARRISON.

THE New York Independent, relig.
 ious weekly, says that President Harris on is a man of large natural resources, of great self reliance, of sterling integ- rity, of noticeable independence and of
 unyieiding frmness when sure of his po- sitIon. He listens patiently and thoughtfully to all who can help hIm
 takes counsel of his advisers, receives criticism without bitterness, keeps hls opinions to himself, forms his own judgments, and assumes all responsibll- ity when he IS ready to act.
 He surveys carefully the whole field of national politics, mot as partIslan but as the ruler of great nation charged with the greater responsibility of ruling impartially and wisely. He studies the needs of all sections of the country, and seeks by personal contact with the people to know accurately the condition and wants of. each locality As president he knows no north, south east or west; for he regards himself as the nations ruler, and wishes every sec- ton to feel that it has in him guar dian and friend.
 Without intrudlng upon the sphere of legislation, he watches its course with critical eye; indicates with clear discrim- ination hIs jude ment on lines of public policy, and uses the veto power when he thinks the public veal demands 1t. With a profound respect for the judic- iary, he weighs with the greatest care all candidates for the iudgeship, and makes appointments to the bench of only men Of the highest character, at tainmeuts and reputation.

THE COPPER COMBINE.

ANEW YORK associated press despatch
 says that the new combination of cop
 per-producing companies, which has
 been in process of formation for the las!
 ten days, for the purpose of regulating
 the output and obtaining higher prices
 has about reached definite shape. The
 movement originated in Boston, the principal copper market of the country,
 and was started by managers of the Hecla and the Anaconda Mining com
 panies. Other large copper producers | have taken part in the movement, and ali the important concerns are are now
 said to have joined the combine. The concerns interested are reticent as to
 what they Intend to oo, but the follow Ing statement as to the relative produc- ton which has been agreed upon for 1892 comes from an official of one of the companies of the pool. The amounts are: For Anacanda, 100000 pounds; Calumet and Hecia. 6O,OUG,OOO; Quincy, 100000; Parrott, 14,GC0,O00; Clark Bigelow interests, 65,0O0,G0O. The Clark Bigelow interests, include! the. Tam arack, Osceola, Kearserge, Boston and Montana ard Butte'and Boston; total, 226,000,G00 pounds.
 On the basis Of last years production United States interests now producing, but which are not generally included in the above calculation, folio Ge: Arizona, 33,7OO,G00 pounds; New Mexico, 100000, California. 3, ,750,000; Colorado, 100000; Utah l,700,0J0; eastern, southern and other sources, 1, 4,SO0,CO0; Franklin, 4,250,- 0G0; Atlantic, 32G0CtO; Central, l, ,414,- C00; Copper Fails, G00,000; total, e, ,5S4,- 0GO.
 These anotments are in excess of IS9I's production, and It Is fair 10 essti- mate the outside concerns on the same basis. Consequently there IS basis of 293, 293 ,4434, ,OG0 pounds of copper to be pro- duced under the combination, against an output last year of 2S7, 7,l2O,O00 poundf, this, too, with the Anaconda Idle during SIX months of the year.
 "WIth these figures in hand" said an officer Of one of the companies, lit is mconshine to say that the market is be controlled by restriction. Facts and figures go to prove that on thIs basis there wlli be no restriction. The or ganizatio1 which we are assured is agreed tc by all the leading producers in the country, and which intends to keep the price at l21E@l3c cn the basis of lake, must attain its erds by adhering | to certain price in disregard to the | laws of supply and demand"
 A meeting Is to be he!d in this city | tomorrow to protect the organization. rae Allouez mine will oe closed down oD | the lst prox., owing to the prevailing l low price of copper. The Wolverine mine, under the same management, | wlll suspend production at the same | time, but will contInue to develop its i

JUDGE M M. E5tee, of California, wh c WAS chairman of the Republican Ma, tiOnalc onvsntion of 1888, said recently
 1 regard the administration of Presi- dent Harrison as having been wise, pru- dent and iudicious. He can carry Cal ifornia if renominated. Any good re- publican can carry it, Just who will be the choice of our delegates at the Ma tional convention 10 one can tell yet Thelprosperlty of California in the last year has been marvellous. We produce wheat, raisins, prunes, and wine in un- precedented quantities. The Mckinley tariff law is popular with ue, because it protects our products. The duty on prunes is an example. It is two. cents, yet prunes are cheaper in New York and over the country today than whea the law went into effect. The same thing is true as to raisine, on which the duty imposed is two and one-half cents.

RAINMAKER MELBOURNE is reported to be at work in Hermosilla. His efforts to tap the clouds, however, have been in- effectual for the reason that he could conjure up no clouds to tap. Too much of the seductive mescal evidently fud- dled the braln of the rainmaker and he gave the crank the fair weather turn and drove the clouds away.

GEORGE CHRIST, collector Of customs for Nogales Is in tho city, franticaily en- deavoring to repair his broken political fences. lie wants to go to Minneapolis and wants to go Gad. Ii his recent political excursion through the north be announced that the southern district was for him to a man. He repeatedly declared to the citizens Of Cochise county that he hal Pima county ln his pocket, and to the citizens of Pima he as often declared that Coch.se would send a solid dsiegation ia hIs favor to the Territorial convention. None of these statements were true. COchise county went like cannon ball against
 hIm and Pima county will hit him like a, bomb-sheil. 4 Christ delegation from Pima county, judging by the present temper Of the people, is an im- possibility, and without the vote of his own county he can never hope to see Minneapolis as an accredited delegate. It is said that he has some hopes of controlling the northern delegation and thus secure his election but it can not be done. With the certainty of de- feat staring him in the face, he still persists in pressing his fancled claims upon his friends. and they must either shout themselves hoarse in his behalf or be at once chased among his enemies. He will not admit that man can be a friend tUhim unless he can own him, and for that kInd of performance he has struck ths wrong county. Our un- solicite d advice is fer George to go home and attend to the duties of his office
 If he does this he will have fewer ex- plantations to make and will be O. K.

l am persuaded, that we can quite al : ways appeal to the love of right and re- tinement in man. The veriest scala. wag and hoodlum in christeudom, has somewhere and somehow in him, a taste for the finer things. Something will break through the crust; it may be a mere spray of song, that awakeus mem ories and exquisite visions of the old home of boyhood.

There is something ineffably stupid. as well as mean and cowardIy in the re- lentless cruelty with which society treats slnuing women as compared with shining men.
