THE SUGAR BOUNTY MUST GO.

Among the benefits which the plant
ers of Louisiana are likely to receive
as a reward fer their hearty support of
the free trade democracy::a year ago,
is the abolition of the sugar bounty of
two cents per pound. This change is
to be one of the features of the new
tariff bi now in course of preparation
by Mr.. Wilson's ways and means COM
mittee. Whatever the devoted plant
ers Of Louisiana may have saved from
the recent tidal storm will pretty neaAy
be wiped out of existence by the aboli-
ton of the sugar bounty Another
change which the committee proposes
is to put revenue DUTY of one half
cent pound on foreign sugars, which
are now admitted free. Thus the price
of sugar will be raised, while its manu-
facture in this country will be rendered
Improbable, and the growing beet
sugar industry, from which we have
been anticipating great things in Cali
fornia, will be determinedly knocked
in the head.
The sugar planters of Louisiana can
we'll afford TO be poor, however, in
compensation for the glorious privilege
of living under a democratic national
administration. And our OWE fruit
raisers and wine makers in California,
with the present tariff rates materi-
ally reduced, will have ample time to
contemplate the beauties of the new
system.-L. A. Express.

Killed in San Fran cisco.

j. G. Wyatt, formerly in the cattle
business in the San Simon valley,
Graham county, was killed by train at
Berkeley, near San Francisco few days
ago.
He and companion were trying to
beat their way on a brake beam, and
Wyatt lost his hold and fell beneath the
cars.
The San Francisco Call says of the
affair:
The body of ]. c. Wyatt, the man
who was found dead beside the West
Berkeley track on Saturday nights, still
lies at the morgue. No one has come
forward to clam tee body.
A poll tax receipt was found on the
body dated Tucson, Arlz. The coroner
is of the opinion thst the man WAS at
tempting to get free ride, as had he
purchased a ticket it would not have
been necessary to send his bundle by
express as it could have gone with him
as baggage from Port Costa to San
Francisco. A Weils-Fargo receipt was
found on his person showing that he
had forwarded such a bundle. Tire
man had Sl4 on his person.

A Trim in the Yukon.

Some of the troubles that beset the
miner in Alaska, or, rather, in the
Yukon country, are thus set forth IN
letter from e. A. oather TO Mr.. Miller.
at juneau:
II did not come hack from the Yukon
via Juneau as | intended, but went out
to st. Michael on the steamer Arctic.
Ny experience In the Yukon wes not
very lovely, but averaged with other
inexperienced miners. As you know, L
left your place tine 9th of last April on
the Chllcat, and crossed the summit on
the 18th of the same month. Although
the weather was favorable, we were
snowblind and sorefaced when we
reached Lake Bennett, and pulled down
to Carbon crossing, where We camped
and built our boats. After building
our boats we had good time hunting
and fishing while waiting for the ice to
break. The Both of May we broke
through the ice on Tskau lake and went
down the river as fast as we could get
ahead. There were about twenty boats
behind us. We had good luck until we
had passed the White Horse, where We
got stuck on the rocks and upset our
boat. We lost some cooking apparatus,
OUT S6V6Q mOSG VI OuE QUIET SLuu. Wo
reached Forty Mile the 18th of June
and went up to Franklin gulch, where
the miners waited for rain; they had
dry season and did not make much.
Miller and Davis creeks were very little
better. Four or five claims in Miller
creek pay very well, but the rest of
them cannot scratch their grub stake. l
did not work more than four days raking
on the bars on Forty-Mile creek and
made from So to So per day; then ] got
sick and had to pull out for st. Michael
on the steamer Arctic which cost $50,
and from there to Unalaska for S35,
thence to San Francisco, $50.
"As rule, the diggings in the Yukon
are very low and will not average more
than bare living think there Will
be all of a hundred men coming out
this fall, some over the summit and
others down by st. Michael. Henkuk

WHILE nearly all Of the republican
senators believe that compromise is the
only way out of the silver deadlock,
they are taking but little part in bring
ing it about, feeling that the proposition
for compromise should come from the
democrats as long as that party is in a
majority in the senate and responsible
for legislation. The republicans also
know that any proposition they might
make for a compromise would be mis-
construed. In fact the treatment of the
senators who voted for the
repeal of the purchasing clause of the
silver law has hardly been fair; while
counting upon their votes to aid in
passing the bill when it comes to vote,
# 1t ever does, and upon their assistance
n any method that might be adopted to
orce it to q vote, Senator Voorhees, has

quence of this is that number of re-
publican senators who are from prln-
clpie In favor of repeal will do nothing
to help Senator Voorhees, force vote.
As TIE case stands now the silver men
are defiant and Senator Voorhees, has
publicly confessed his inability to get
vote. But if should succeed in reach
ing vote we hope to see the republican
senators solidly in line for the main
tenance of silver at parity with gold.
IL they are not so found We hope that
the administration will treat them still
more shabbily. II there is any honor
in repudiating silver we want the party
to have it all.

FOR OURY'S MURDER.
An Arivaca Mexican Arrested
and in Jail.
Juan Martinez, the Big Man of the
Three, n Hard Case and Wanted
Also in Mexico.

The Frank Curry murder has resulted
in a second arrest, this time near the
scene of the crime.
Juan Martinez, is the name OF the
man, with hard reputation. He made
one confession to the affair and sub
sequently denied it. In fact his stories
are very contradictory and not much
like those of an honest, innocent man.
Martinez was brought in last night by
Gen. Manning and Ortiz, one of the
men held up. 1t was on the way to
Tucson the confession was made, to Mr..
Manning.
The confession and much of the
evidence against him has for the present
been withheld.
Gen. Manning was at Arivaca last
Wednesday and learned there was talk
among the Mexicaus of Martinez hav-
ing been connected with the killing of
his late partner. He found out enough
to justify him in so doing, and with
Deputy Sheriff Began arrested Martinez
and accompanied by Ortez, brought him
to Tucson. They got in last night. Al
Arivaca it is told that the reason Mar
tineZ did not 60 to Sonora as the others
of the gang are supposed to have done
is that he hiss committed three or -four
murders in Sonora and is more afraid Of
Mexico than Of the United States.
In jail Martinez denied all connection
with the affair. He was able, however
to give pointers as to others sbou
Arivaca being connected with it.
His hearing has not been set, and viii
probably not take place for Several days
Meanwhile important witnesses will bt
obtained. Martinez IS the large man in
the murder, supposedly, he being big CT
build.
1t now looks as though another arrest
or two in connection with the case will
be made shortly.

TOBACCO THE ARID WEST.

The culture of tobacco is being
discussed in the irrigated region with
some enthusiasm, of late. A very intel
izent paper was recently read by j. d.
Culp before California audience. What
he said of California applies to a large
portion Of the arid region.
"The opportunities for the develop
inert OF the tabacco industry in this
state are recognized to be superior to
any elsewhere in the United States"
said Mr.. Culp. 'The peculiar quality
OF tobacco lands in our state renders
manuring unnecessary, which item is
saving of about 800 per acre as COM
pared with cigar tobscco-producing
lands Of the east.
'The absence of frosts during the
growing season, together with the long,
dry summer, renders two crops each
year q certainty, and the difference in
cost Of cultivation is five to one in favor
of California Again. the tobacco indus
try in this state is the natural companion
OF the horticultural industry. Nine
tenths of the young orchards of our
state can be successfully employed in
tobacco raising in conjunction with tree
growing, and not only thus increase,
enormously, the productiveness of the
land devoted to fruit culture, but utilize |
the necessary cultivation of the orchard |
itself in growing tobacco crop i'm
medistely among the trees at nominal
cost, and secure quality of leaf largely
enhanced by the protection it receives
from the presence of the tree surround
ing it.
ITO illustrate the SUCCESS which to-
bacco growing is now finding in Califor-
mia, it may be stated that contract has
been made for $4,000 pounds of Califor-
mia cigar leaf at 80 cents per pound,
and liberal estimates place the
cost of growing an acre
,f tobacco at not more than $50. ]
The average yield may be stated at from {
900 to 300 pounds of cared leaf, hav- {
ng an average value. outside of cigar I
wrappers, Of from 20 to % cents pound i
This shows an acreage profit of from il
200 to $500. 1t is needless to say that f
% other crop will equal il in steady and a
stable profit. "-Irrigation Age. la

THE work done in the senate has been

The work done in the senate has been
far from satisfactory to the administra-
ton. And matters have not been improv
ed by the recent arbitrary order of the
pres dent which compels senators and
congressman to submit their business with
the president to Private Secretary Thur
bel, who decides whetherthey may or may
not see the president. This dissatisfac-
tion became so marked that an official
explanation has given out from the
White house, to the effect that the
original order was issued because Mr..
Cleveland had decided to accept the
recommendations of members of his
cabinet as to all appointments coming
under their several departments and that
is was therefore unnecessary for con-
gressmen to see him concerning appoint
ments. The next move of the admins
tration was an attempt TO stop the grow
ing tendency towards a settlement by
compromise of the silver deadlock in the
senate, made through Secretary Car
Isle, who announced to the democratic
senators that no compromise would be
countenanced by the administration,
and that unless the Voorhees, repeal bill |
WAS passed it would be kept before the |
senate to the exclusion of the bill for |
the repeal of the federal elections laws,
the tariff and all other political leg
islstlon, the idea being that the south
ern senators opposed to the Voorhees,
bill would thus be coerced into support
ing that measure. 1t seems to have
had contrary effect, as for the first
time democratic senators have since
openly advocated compromise on thu
ioor of the senate and sharply criticised
he administration senators for refusing
20 agree to it.

The readers of the October Review
of Reviews, or certainly the eastern
readers, will find its most remarkable
feature in the article on the "Irrlgation
Idea and its Coming Congress" The
writer of this important paper is William
E. Smythe, editor Of the Irrigation Age.
1t is safe to say that never before has
appeared any such authoritative treat
ment of subject which is practically
unknown to CHS Mississippi jewellers.
Very few people will be prepared to
hear that the arid regions of the United
States, to which irrigation is necessity,
make up two-ffths of our national
domain; that already, two years ago,
the estimated value of the irrigated
lands was s300,OO0,O0O according to the
census. Mr.. Smythe tells us that ir-
rlgation raises the value of land reclaim
ed from this truly great American desert
from $50 to $1,000 per acre, and the
social result of the Establishment of
irrigating communities appear to be
scarcely less than the enormous
material gain. Such colonies as River
side and its like allows their members
practically all the advantages of an
urban life while assuring them the
beauty and freedom of a country home.
The irrigation idea is inevitably bring
ing in an era of small farmers, because
it means intensive cultivation of land,
or the process of seeking increased
product and better cultivation of the
same soil instead of extension of soil
area. The Review of Reviews publishes
this paper epropos Of the international
irrigation congress which is about to be
held in Los Angeles, Cal.
