BLAINE, ihe greatest of all living American poiiticiap-, Is really out of the pre- identIal race. ORilg to hIs poor aealth, 1t must be admitted that his po=
 itical ambition is satisfied. He will re
 main ID the cabinet untIl the close of he prest nt administration, when he will retire with :he full confidence of all the people, who owe much of their present prosperity and happiness 10 his lfe's la DOT iu ih 9ir behalf. He has made name in history that yill be revered by the people of this continent long after many of our presidents have been forgotten entirely. The retirement of MT. Blaine fr"m political ,ifs leaves President Har- rison, practically, at the present time at least, the only candidate before the re- publican party. Other names have been mentioned. and doubtless will continue to be, and some of them may become very streng before the convention is held, but MT. Harrison IS by long odds the favorite, ard it is but fitting that he should be. Ills administration has been clean and honorable, and can be con scientiously endorsed by every true American. He has given us strong government, both at home and abroad, and he has lifted his administration above all political scandal or gossip. His nomination will be equivalent to elec- tion.-Silver City Enterprise.

TO-DAY being the 160th anniversary of the birth of George Washington, the Father of our Country, it has been re- lgiously and reverentlally kept. His birthday has by the nation been made a national holiday, day to be commem- orated in the minds and hearts of all Americans as the day upon which fret saw light: one of the gr atest and most patriotic of men ever produced by this or any other country. As such he IS regarded not only by patriotic Ameri- cans but by all men who love liberty and equality of rights to the human kind. As the founder of a great nation upon whose fundamental principles the world will yet revolve, We pay homage and honor to his great name. From small and almost obscure beginning, the re- volting of few scattered colonies against the injustice of the mother country, the United States have risen like giant till as one government, they stand among the mightiest of earth's nations. To the unfaltering courage and patriotic determination of Washing ton, whose birth We this day celebrate, such grand results are m the main due. Let others emulate his unselfish devo- tion.

THE typhus fever plague is said, b. the New York Press, to be the mos frightful thing that city has seen Il years. It is called, at times, putrid, iai.. brain plague, pestilence, malignant camp, ship spotted and hospital fever and Irish ague. It IS highly infectiou
 and contagious, liable to become ep. demIc, and the most dangerous form o disease known. Itis so contagious tha
 the slightest contact, or even breatl of the same ar, would communicate il The symptoms are rigor, headache, dry heated skin, flushed face, suffused eyes heavy aspect, stupor, thirst and prostra- tion. About the fifth day rash ap- pears on the skin. It is of irregular spots, of deep red or mulberry color. These disappear on pressure but later make stalns, which pressure will moi obliterate. The second week of the dis ease finds the patient in a state O. great prostration, with muscular twitch- Ings, delirum, coma and convulsicns. Stricken persons generally dIe betweer the ninth and twelfth day. In recover ing, patients get strength with remark able rapidity. and are quickly out. Dir and filth, unwnolesome food, and damI apartments, are aiders of the scourge.

GOOD WORK FOR POST OFFICE
 DEPARTMENT.

The figures given Tn PostmasterGen- eral Wanamaker's report for this year
 show that the postal deficit has been cut in two, and that, if the preseat ad- mlnistration of the postoffice depart msnt is not interfered with, the defic- 1t will, in all probability, entirely dis appear, by the end of the next fiscal year. Mr Wananaker took up the work of year two-thirds gone, with the rate of expenditure for the year es- tablished; and when his first year closed, the actual cash deficiency of the postal service proved to be by the final exhI- bits, s6,227, ,9l943. But the controlling idea all the while has been to lssh the service into the new States and along ,he hIghterIo poorly-served Pacific slope, not neglecting the older regions of the country, and, without extrava- gaace, to rebuild and enlarge tae whole syste m.
 While it has in sisted on a good ser vice at any cost, nevertheless the cash deficiency has de.rease 1. 1t amounted for the last year to SC 160 205l9, which would have b zen much less but Cor the operation of he lottery law. This cur tailed the revenue to the ext5nt, 1t is estimated, of J, 100000 or 5l.5OO,OOO dur ing the past year. The increase of re- venue last year U89D ever 1890 amounts to upwards of SJ,GJ0OOO. This policy of extending and improving and with increasing the de- tciency, and D spIte of the deprecation of the revenue due to Lhe sup e1ression of the lottery business, proves that the ten Iency of the system Is towards better ssrvice to d lower cost. Much of the expense, incurred within the last three years is in tho nature of establishing a plant, which, being now in full running order, will rot require as much outlay | for the next fey years. It is already l proven by tho rate of expenditures dur ing the past few months that the cash deficiency for this year will be lowered to not much over one-haif of what iJ was For last year, and the estimates for 1893, winch have been prepared lor the action of congress, show that the service may be made tp reach a self sustaining basis by J July l, 1883.
 Mir. Wanamaker said recently:
 II have never believed that the de 9artment should nghtfu ly be self-sus- aiming; but the fact Is tn t the con- Iressional base of supplies expects it to oe SC, and have consequently tried to -iraw better and more numerous forts ,ut of the whole service than fo merly, ind at a smaller cUsJ. The deficit | $ unquestionably decreasing, aud will 'ntirely disappear in tae next fiscal year, as per the estimates ID the report. | If congress thinks 1t advisable the ser vIce may commence to he seiI-susJain- | .ng on July ], lS93."

REPETITION is being extensively signed asking the city council to build cross ing over the railroad at the north end oi Stone avenue. The project IS a most meritorious one and should be so con sidered by the council. The only two crossing now available ara the one or north Main street and one near the de pot. As these two are far apart there should be an intermediate one-s.y the north end of Stone avenue. h aO. dition to the crossing, a bridge should be built across the arroya at that poIni. The banks are high and the situatioi for bridge admirable.
 The cost of such improvements Toul- not be great and the convenience to th' public would be. It would make GI rect route to the cemetery, to the ln dian school and other points of interes on the north side of the railroad. B! all means let the crossing and bridge b, built.

ONE OF THE OLD MINES.
The Cerro Colorado, now the Silver
 Queen, and Its Outlook.

Among the old mineral properties and the good ones of southern Arizona is the Cerro Colorado mine, located in the dis trict of like name.
 Its latest owners have given the mine new name. Now it is the Silver Queen. and awaits the restoration of its product from commodity to royal metal It IS patented, under the care of a watch man, and q rise in silver will probably see resumption of work there. The property IS owned by San Francisco capital.
 T. J. Davis. watchman at the mine, is in the city. He has been engaged, since the late rains, in keeping water out of the mine, whim, barrel and horse being the means of removal, and sufficient for keeping down the water. Mir. Davis tells an outline of the history of the mine.
 It.was located first by German, back in 1857, when Apaches infested the coun- try. They soon made it too uncomfort- able for the miners. and the mine was temporarily abandoned to them. The defunct firm of Lord S Williams next took 1t up. They worked 1t for some time, and the mine was among the assets I it in litigation, and disposed of it finally to the present company, who can read the title clear to the property, aun patented it two years ago. Mir. Davis says the old shaft is down 200 or more feet and is full of drifts and workings. Ore has been taken from the mine worth 800 a ton. He expects to see work resumed there ere these many months

 W. J. Clark brought in a wagon-load of very good quality ore today from his property in the Cerro Colorado district.
 Another Clark, Wm., is chloriding there with good results---Or was rather. Hio mine is in an arroya, and a clOudburst last June filled it. The mine has again undergone a some what similar experience, being now full of water, from the late rains. Mir. Clark expects to bring relatives from Iowa to assist in working the mines.
