Arlzona's credit is evidently imprrov- ing, and that at rapid rate. Before the issuance of the funded 5 per cent bonds there were many who averred that the rate of interest was too small and that fluanciers would not lo>k at Arlzona securities, even at a discount. But 1t has proved otherwise.

 The bonds will be delivered in a first consignment of s2OO,OOO at an early date, and thereafter at the rate of SlOO,OOO per month till the whole amount shall have bsen delivered.
 This sale makes a total footing of S2,OOO,0O0. Of the s1,5OOO,OOO issu-d before this, the following statement. kindly furnished by Treasurer, Ch;sty. gives an idea of its distribution:

A Train broke down in New York short time ago with James Whit comb Riley on board. The report didn't state whether Riley was writ ing poetry at the time or not.
 Senators Hill and Murphy called on Secretary Carlisle yesterday and asked for the appointment of a "worker." They were snubbed, and "the next day it rained."
 Now that Bishop Dubbs has been busted as an evangelical leader in Illinois he might try politics. His name is as good as Potsdams Sans, Gaba Gushum or Dink Butts.
 According to President Cleveland Congressional delegation slates are only made to be broken. Congress- men should fold up their little slates and make a noiseless "sneak for home."
 It is very poor comfort for the tramp, who saved the lives of 25o people in Oregon by flaging a train, to know that "Virtue is its own re- ward" This is about all he got, however.
 A Worthless negro was sold for S2O for six months to the highest bidder out in Missouri last Tuesday, in accordance with the vagrant laws of the state, and the only comment made was that the purchaser paid a fancy price.
 A Chinaman Is a queer animal. One of them attempted suicide by pouring kerosene over his clothes and setting fire to it. With so many easier modes of selfdestruction at hand, it seems incredible that even Chinaman should resortto this hor- rible method.
 When a "worker" is anxious to get on the Chicago police force his friends with a pull get him the ques- ton blanks of the civil service ex- aminations with the questions all an- swered. In Chicago it is far more advantageous matter to get "pull" than a liberal education.

says the Review of Reviews. The plan of a 'pan-American" railway to connect the South American system, through Central America, with the systems of Mexico and the United States is already well advanced.
 There are to1b roads from the Cana dian Pacific away up to the Peace River and Mackenzie valleys, and it is not hard to believe that these may ultimate ly be extended across the Rockies to the UkOn valley in Alaska and continued finally to the narrow and shallow Behr- ing straits, across which a connection would be made with the Siberian road Continuous rail travel from Siberia to Constantinople will soon have become an accomplished fact, and the link from ConstantinOple to Egypt may be ex- pected quite confidently.
 At the present rate of development in Africa the construction of road from Egypt to the cape ought to be realized within twenty-five years. The channel tunnel will, of course, have been built and electricity or some still more power ful motive force will have superseded steam. so that the CalifOrnians and Puget sound denizens would naturally go to London by fast Alaskan and Sir berian express. If they chose they might return by steamship, making the passage in two or three days from the west coast of Ireland to Labrador or Halifax In view of all that has been done in the last twenty-five years such further development of travelling facil- ities is easily within the realm of sober prediction.

THE full schedule of changes recently
 made in the Mexican tariff has been re-
 ceived at the Treasury department.
 Most of the charges made are Tn the
 way of reductions, but there are several important increases of duty, especially Ou sllk goods Stud horses, which have besn charged S30 each, are hereafter to be admitted free of duty. Carded wool is to come in at F cents per klio, in stead Of 15 cents, but cables of hemp and similar materials, which have been free, are to pay cents per kilo. To- bacco Is increased from Sl 9 10 SL50 per klle, and cigars from 5 50 to 57. Cotton fabrics are increased from S4 to S6 per kllo, and woolen felt, which has been free, is fixed at l cent per kilo. Gotten goods, with linen or woolen forming de- signs of silk on a ba is of other m m9terials, are raised from g 90 to S3.50 per net kilo, and goods of silk, with mixture O. cotton, linen CT wool mixed with silk, are made into a new class dutiable at S750. Silk linngs, mixed with cotton, linen or wool, sewed in pieces for umbrellas, are raised from S5 to S9 per net kilo. Spirits in wooden vessels are raised from 30 cents to 40 cents per net kilo.

IT is quite evident from the reports that come in from the country that stock men need some protection from the wild animals that depredate on their cattle. This can be afforded only by general bounty law on the heads of certain specified wi,d brutes. Prominent among them may be mentioned wolves, lions and bears. There should be bounty on their destruction. The lesser fry ought perhaps not to be considered for the reason that as scsvangers, they do more real good than harm. We truest that our Legislators and Supervisors Will look at the measure in proper light.

THERE has been a new deal in the political pot and a new slate male. Hon. c. Nj. Bruce of CJchise county is now believed to be the coming man for Terri torial Secretary. Bruce is a good man and has always been regarded as sn irreproachable citizen. His appoin = ment woald meet with general approval. One thing is sure and that is the ap- poiutmens in question will depend largely upon the will of Governor Hughes. Secre' ary Hoke Smith stated as much to some Arizonians s a few days ago when they interviewed him on the subj sct. It should be so. The two offices are close in their associations and must be in accord one with the other. It is believed hereabouts that Governor Hughes will name Mir. Bruce as Sc cretary.
