4 telegram from Berlin says: \ commission of artillery experts has been testing for several days at Jet terburg a new explosive, which is intended t. replace gunpowder n the German army. The explosive is a brown, fatty substance of the con sistency of frozen oil when exposed in ordinary temperatures. A shock or spark does not set it of. When used in guns the explosion is ob- tained through contact with another chemical compound, The explo- sion is almost unaccompanied by smoke, and the detonation is incon- siderable. The explosion does not heat the weapon sufficiently to pre- vent rapid firing, and the cartridges used are easily refilled. The recoil is very slight.

It isn't our funeral, but we simply rise it to suggest to our friends of the democratic party, that grand ratification over the appointment ol a new Governor, is now in order. Bring out your old petroleum soak ed socks and illuminate the mid night darkness; turn loose your wind instruments and let the air re- sound with the notes of''Lo, the Con- quering Hero comes" Hail to the Chief" etcetra; apply the match to the deadly nitro glycerine and let its explosive detonations echo and reverberate from Thumb Butte to Mt. Union; throw up your hats in mid air, and yell yourselves hoarse in exultant cheers, and by every other way possible manifest your joy and qualification over the fact that, to Arizona new Cover nor has been born, to you a new ruler has been given,-one of the democratic. faith. All together now, fizz, boom. hurrah

4 sensational story was sent out from Washington a short time since to the effect that frauds had been committed in connection with the Boring Sea commission. A tele- gram of April 2, dated at Washing ton, has the following concerning these sensational reports: "In view of the statements which have ap- peared during the last two or three days concerning the allowances made the different persons employ ed in the Boring Sea arbitration tri- bunal, the Secretary of State sentto the Consul of the United States in Paris a dispatch, from which the following is quoted: Neither the State nor the Treasury Department is responsible for the mischievous publication. The administration will do everything in it's power to maintain the case of the United States and support our agent and consul before the tribunal of arbi- tration."

WILL DEMOCRACY REDEEM ITS
 PROMISESs

Shortly after the election in No vember last, the JOURNAL MINER contained an article in which 1t claimed that if the democratic party was true to its promises, and true to its professions, an extra ses- sion of Congress would be called, just as soon after March 4th as pos sible, to repeal the so-called "per nicious Mckinley bill" It pre- dicted though that no such action would be taken, as 1t had no faith in the sincerity of the party's utter ances. That there is sincerity on the part of a portion of the press, as we'll as of some of it's public men. however, there can be no doubt. but they do not seem to be strong enough to secure the redemption of the pledges made by their party. The San Francisco Examiner of re- cent date has a very sensible and logical editorial on the subject, talk ing the same position as that of the JOURNAL MINER, in which it says:
 "President Cleveland has caused it to be made known that he means to call an extra session of Congress to reform the tariff. This is grati- lying, so far as it goes, but why he should set the date of the session away of in September or October is not clear 1t is better than waiting for the regular session of December, to be sure, both on the matter of time and on the advantage of hay ing the energies of Congress confin- ed to a specified channel. But that is the best that can be said for Mir. Cleveland's leisurely programme In effect he has decided to give Me Kinleyism nearly another year,s lease of life, and it is not eitftled to one days grace from the Democracy. The issue of tariff reform was plain ly made between the parties, frankly accepted by both, and the people or the issue busted the Republicans from power. Justice and party policy alike require, therefore, that there should be no unnecessary de- lay m carrying out the popular will The President has held office for nearly a month now, and has had the Senate in extra session, for Ale sole purpose of passing upon his appointees to office. It is a thing oI small moment tU the people who sball be Minister to England or Nlcaraugua, who Collector of Gus toms at this port or that, or who Postmaster in New York, San Fran cisco or Squashopolis, but 1t Is thing of vital moment to the people that they should be compelled to pay thieving Mckinley prices for the necessaries and comforts of life. and that the business of the nation should be confused by uncertainty as to the future. The House could be sitting now quite as well as in | September considering the tariff, | and the Senate would have ample | time to spare for confirming MT. | Clevelan1's nominees for places of | honor and emolument.
 "To make haste slowly is a good | rule when one is deliberating as to | what should be done, but it is not a | good rule when the mind has been | made up and action is required. Assuredly the people have let it be known clearly enough what they want the Democracy to do with the Mckinley law, and it is the Democ- racy which is now responsible for that trust-made laws continued ex- istenec.

 Major G. W. Vaughn and Charles Lantry left this morning for Phenix They will go over the line of the S. F., r. X F. railroad as surveyed, and will decide in regard to tha To- cation of grading camps. They ex- pect to be absent about ten days. They expect to meet H. F. Lantry in Phenix, and will place camp at work immediately, either in the yards, or at the end of the grade already completed, and work this way. Camps will also be located at other points on the line, wherever any heavy work will be encountered. so that no delay will be occasioned to track laying south of Prescott.
 Work received a temporary delay yesterday, by the refusal of John Duke to allow Contractor Bruce to haul piling and bridge timber over his land. It will only cause a delay of day or two. however, as the track will soon be laid to the point where the timbers are needed, and they will be hauled by train.
 The owners of mining prospect west of Prescott have made de- mand from the company for 5000 damages for the right of way across their claim, and suit for condem- nation will be brought to determine the amount of damage to it. Own CTS of good mines, as a rule, are willing to pay a handsome bonus to railroads to get them to locate near their claims.
 There has been considerable eX- eitement in one of the camps near Iron Springs, over the discovery of mineral in one of the cuts there, and some of the graders may conclude to quit railroading and engage Tn mining.

UNCLEAN PAPER MONEY
AND DISEASE.

A bill has recently been present.
ed in Congress requiring the Score
tary OF the Treasury to provide
for the calling in Of all ragged, worn
and soiled paper money, new bills
to be furnished in place Of the old
and unclean notes. It is surpris-
ing when one thinks Of it, that
some such action has not long been
taken. for not little of the paper
money daily passing from hand "a
hand has become extremely repul-
sive in appearance, and Is ever sug-
gestive Of disease-spreading power.
In any provision made for the
calling in Of the old and soiled bills,
the banks must, Of course, be the
principle intermediates, but they
would in most cases be only too
glad to substitute new bills for the
old ones which come in over their
counters, could sufficient facilities
be afforded for obtaining new bulls
from the Treasury Department.
The resolution now before Congress
Is designed to give . more deserved
prominence to this matter, and it is
to be hoped the measure will be
promptly adopted.
The origin Of disease germs has
been the subject Of elaborate in
vestigation and experiment by the
ablest biologists, and although our
knowledge is still largely specuia-
tive, much Is known about the way
in which such germs are ''borne
about and deposited in soils suita-

LOUISIANA.

The climate i delightful the
greater portion Of the year. From
September until June the world
can not beat the climate OF Louisi-
ana. We have flowers and vege-
tables during these months and
fruits on the trees. From June to
September we have our warmest
weather, but even then the mercury
rarely rises to Dinety-six There
are no sun strokes and the gulf
breeze 80 modifies the heat that It
is always pleasant in the shade.
Taken altogether, We think there
are few, il any. localities in the
United States that equal this for .
climate the year round.
Our agricultural and hort,cultur-
81 possibilities are great. While
corn and oats are produced in
paving quantities, We do not COM
mend this ~ . corn country in
competition with the Northwest.
Our most profitable field crops
are sugar-cane, rice, cotton and
sweet potatoes. Twenty to thirty
tons Of cane can be produced per
acre, worth four dollars per ton.
Ten to twenty barrels Of rice can
be raised per acre with nearly the
same labor and machinery as
wheat. worth two dollars to three
dollars per barrel. From one
half to two bales Of cotton worth
forty dollars per bale. Fifty to
one hundred barrels Of sweet po-
tatoes are produced per acre with
as little expense IS corn. We do
not set out plants here Is they do
in the North, only for what We call
tour mother potatoes. Then We
simply string the vines along the
row and pillow them under and our
potatoes are planted. Sweet po-
tatoes make excellent food foI
hogs, cattle, horses, and are good
for table use, and sell from 81 to
81 IS per barrel.
Figs are very productive, We
can produce in great abundance
and Of the finest quality peaches.
plums, grapes, ounces, strawber-
ries, blackberrles, etc.
Vegetables, such rs cabbage,
beets, turnips, potatoes, radishes,
lettuce. celery. caulinower. beans,
peas. etc., are grown nearly the
entire year.
We have fresh vegetables from
the garden nearly every month Of
the year. This is > good stock
country. Sheep do splendidly in
the piney woods and live fat the
entire year without feed. Our
numbering interests are large.
Climate is : good thing and
there is plenty Of il here without
cost, but we have always advised
people who move here mot to de-
pend on it for . living, but to pull
OF their coats, and roll up their
sleeves and 60 to work, and mix .
little muscle with it.
It goes further and lasts longer.
The man that doesn't do this way
may get dissatisfied with any coun-
try. The fact Of the business is,
it il the character Of some people
70 grumble and find fault. There
are doubtless some men who would
grumble il they were going to be
hung.-Ex.
