Near Dudleyville, on the San Pe- dro, Mr. George Scott has fine or chard well worthy of remark. The trees are mostly peach and apple, which bear fruit of very fine quail ity and flavor and large in size. His orchard is protected on all sides by windbreak of large cot tonwood trees, which shelter the trees from the cold winds which at that altitude prevail in winter, and from the hot blasts of summer.- The Oasis.

Last Monday morning at Peach Springs, a Mexican half-breed, got filled up with forty-rod and started out on the warpath. He was after blood and nothing but blood would satisfy him. He wanted to do up one of the saloon keepers of the town, but contented himself with mashing in the head of Harry Foulke, a young barber of the town, with a rock. The young man was felled to the ground by the blow and remained in a semi-unconsclous condition until the next day, when he became totally unconscious. The Mexican was arrested and lodged in jail at this place where he will be held to await the result of the inju- ries inflicted by him. Tue young man was brought to Kingman Thursdaynight and taken to Monte Penberthy's place. He has not re- gained consciousness yet, and we think he cannot possibly survive. An operation will be performed to- morrow, but what the result will be is uncertain.-Kingman Miner.

 But the farmer is not the only r one who has suffered from this pro cess. The shrinkage in the value: of railroads, telegraph lines and manufacturing plants is everywhere felt. Investors do not like to inyest in stocks that are certain to be worth less before they are worth more They will not buy on a falling mar ] ket, and there is no bedrock below which prices cannot go.
 "If the monetary policy of the country makes gold the most desir- able and only secure form of prop erty, it is to be expected that men who have it will not invest it, but will either hoard CT loan 1t. Until the monetary basis is broadened, there will be no enduring relief for the present depression of trade and enterprise. All our money is now referable to gold, and depreciates with the appreciation of gold. Even our silver dollars must be repre- scented by gold dollars worth of sil- yer bullion in the treasury. Issu- ing new forms of currency, payable directly or indirectly ill gold, will afford no relief, but will rather tend to accelerate the upward course of gold. The United States could doubtless issue without limit green backs payable in gold, which would pass at par, for the faith of the world is absolute that the United States will redeem according to it's promise, even though it were in dodo eggs. The United States can not by legislation increase the sup ply of gold in nature. Until this is done, however, the issuance of additional promises to pay gold in whatever form will not relieve, but rather increase the difficulties of the situation,
 "Perhaps it would not be safe to declare for free coinage at the ratio of Is to 1. At the present time the market value of silver is 73 cents an ounce, while its coining value is $1 .29. A free cOlnage law at the old ratio would be equivalent on the part of the United States to raise unaided the price of all the silver in the world from 73 cents to $1.29 per ounce in gold. We are a great people, but hardly equal to such an undertaking as this, It is quite safe to say that we would get more sill yer than we wanted, and that we could not maintain it on a parity with gold.
 But the power and influence of the United States is great enough to raise and maintain the price of silver at a point far above its pres ent abnormally low price. This point should be discovered, and our hints opened to it's free coinage at whatever ratio that would be. l believe that free coinage law in the United States at the ratio of 20 to 1 would be an entirely safe meas ure, and that it would absolutely fix the price of silver the world over at not legs than SOS an ounce in gold. Nor would we get more sill yer than we wanted, for confidence in the white metal would be so re- stored thereby that 1t would again be in demand in other countries for money purposes.
 "The failure of the Bland Allison law and the Sherman act to fix the price of silver is no criterion of the effect free coinage law would have, for neither of these laws was in- tended to accomplish this result. On the contrary, they have both treated silver as a commodity to be measured, like other commodities, by a gold standard. They have

THR PEACE OF EUROPE.

The greatest danger to the peace O
Europe lies in the fact that Ger nany
is now ruled by an emperor of mos
eccentric and uneven temper, who il
liable at any moment to go off at {
tangent and produce a situation of ths
most alarming character. With such 6
character on the throne there is no tell.
ing what day may bring forth. He
may at any moment, and on the most
preposterous pretext, precipitate propo-
sitlons that may force hostilities with
France. His last outbreak is to induce
the members of the dreibund to with.
draw their am bassadors from that coun
try because OF certain offensive and an.
archistical expressions in certain quar-
ters in Paris touching the minis
ter from Rome. 1t is not pretended
that the French government is at all
responsible for the objectionable ex-
presslous, or that it has been asked to
take such action as would punish-if
punishment is deserved or possible-the
parties who are complained Of. If Italy
ana Austria were to comply with the
demands OF William. it might lead to the
most serious consequences; but it is
hardly to be supposed that either OF
those governments will withdraw their
embassies. An exchange OF diplomatic
notes may result, and il there had been
any real cause of complaint on this score
against France, such course would
hsve been the only one that could have
been properly pursued
The emperor of Germany, whilst pub
licly proclaiming his desire for peace, is
constantly doing something that shows
that he is anxious to come to blows.
No other definition can be made of his
determination to increase the strength
OF his army. That measure is likely to
ripen into a fact of alarming import.
not only to his neighbors, but to his own
people. He has been likened to the boy

anxious to do so. 1t is fortunate that
