Next year will witness a horticul- tural fair in St. Petersburg Russia, which will doubtless be a surprise to Americah eyes. So vast is this great empire over which the Czar holds sway that the fruits of all zones may be found within it. Russia is by no means q frozen cline, for the breath cf the tropics is blown across it's southern borders, and in portions of it the fruits of the temperate zone abound. Russia is also regarded by many as a possible strong rival of this country in wheat growing, pos sessing as she does some of the finest wheat lands in the world which have never yet been tiekied by the plough.

 Arizona k making rapid develop
 mcnt of her marvellous resources, Her growth Is phenomenal She is moving forward now like that noble Rarus when he made those magnificent strides of twenty-two feet at a step. No one can fully appreciate what has been accomplished in the territory without making it visit.
 The visitor to Southern Arizona sud denly finds himself in the midst of a tropical climate, land of perennial summer where frosts are seldom known and the respectful shows of winter approach nd nearer than the distant mouRtan crags; where the peaceful inhabitants sleep in the balmy open air beneath the fig or orange tree or under the blue curtain of the starry sky all the year round; where delicious fruits ripen every month in the calen- dar except two; where the poor are fed with the nectar of life as well as the rich, and bask ln the balmy air of even tide surrounded with all the luxury that lavish and wealthy nature can bestow. Here may be grown the pom egranatc, tile lemon. quince, pear, peach, apple, prune, date, fig, apricot, olive, orange, almond and grape. Here are all the hardy fruits, vegetables aud cereals of the north growing side by side with the daintiest fruits of the south in one prodigious, never ending crop. There is no land within the compass of the round globe whose soil is more richly endowed with both the tender deIicacies and thu hardy products of nature; and the meagre assortment of gifts bestowed upon the soil of northern Utah makes so vivid contrast that we pause and wonder why everybody does not live in Arizona.
 Here, too. the songs of the most gifted birds are floating upon the soft and re sonant air from morn tin night There could not be sweeter hour than is sometimes experienced in this favored land when one is reused from sleep in the open air by the trinkling sounds of earliest morning to drink in with dreamy ear the music of verita- bIe host of notable birds whose hallow- ed threats fill earth and air with rar- est melody. We hear the distant whlp-poor-will's lament answered by the cuckoo's sad and far away lay, and again the plaintive notes of the turtle dove and the doleful tones of the moping owl; and all these low and melancholy notes of the gamut, as they fall upon the attentive ear, are sweetly blended with the merry warb- ling voices of thrush and oriole while the meadow lark breaks forth with never changing round of leaping, dan cing notes The wild canary, too, with all his little soul, sounds the sweet anthem of his morning praise. all unconscious that it is the hour for birds oI mightier voice to rouse the sleeping world. Then comes the iron throated blackbird with his clarion trump of morn. But the grandest songsterof all the feathcry tribe is the kingly mocking bird Upnn the leafy summit of the loftiest tree he sits glorlied in the blaze of the morning light and with silyery tongue carols all that ia heard below, sweet OF harsh, l

A democratic exchange spitefully
that the republicans want to
remember that the iniquitous Nc
kinley bill is still in force. Yes, my
unconverted democratic friend, we
are aware of that fact, and we. are
also aware that our democratic con-
gress seems to be in no hurry to wipe
SAID bill out of existence. The Nc.
kinley bill is not near the octopus
to the democrats now as it was be-
fore they got into power. 1t is said
that it will take the democrats from
one year to one year and half to
get up tariff bill to suit them. BY
that time there will be enough repub-
licans elected in the house to'kill the
new bill.

Gladstone, that grand old man
who has been devoting his life to
lifting the yoke Of oppression from
the shoulders Of the Irish people,
will yet live to see his grand work
carried to a victorious conclusion.
His home rule bill has passed the
British House ofCommons by vote
OF 3o1 to 267. When it was an
bounced on the outside that the bill
had passed, the scene beggars de-
scriptien. The people went crazy,
and did everything that could be
thought of to show their appreciation
Of the action of the House of Com
mons. Mr.. Gladstone was accorded
an ovation by the crowd. His car
:riage was stopped, despite the hard
work of the police, and the champion
of home rule was cheered and cheer
ed to the echo. The grand old
statesman has achieved a grand
work in carry his bill through the
house, and it is hoped that the upper
branch Of the British parliament will
soon pass the bill, and give the long.
suffering people of Ireland the boon
they have been seeking at the hands
Of the English people for years.
