AS WAS stated in yesterdays GA
zErrE, the commander of the u. S. feet
at Rio de Janeiro has been deposed for
taking part in the internicine troubles
of that country, by saluting the flag OF
the revolutionists. The U. S. navy
hasn't reflected credit upon itself
or its country by any of its recent acts
in foreign waters and the Val,
paraiso, Honolulu and Rio affairs should
induce Secretary Herbert TO put on his
thinking cap, if he has one, and devise
a plan by which naval officers may be
instructed in respect of their duties in
international affairs.

After the presentation of a few be-
lated petitions in favor of the free anc

House bill TO transfer the Morri:
Island life-saving station, near Charles

ported back from the committee or
commerce and placed on the calendar
The silver purchase repeal bill was
taken up and the Vice President stated
the question to be on the amendment
to it offered to Mr.. PETER reviving the
free coinage act of 1887.
Mr.. Teller addressed the Senate il
continuation of his speech begun some
time ago. He laid down some genera

BILE to the fall in prices of commodities
The entire world was suffering, he
said, from financial depression which
began in 1878 and which had continued
ever since. 1t was pertinent to the
pending bill to determine the cause O
that financial disturbance, the burden o
which was unusual and abnormal. After
quoting extensively from the speeche:
of the two English delegates to the
! Brussels monetary conference-Houlds
worth and Rothschild-and OF the
French delegate, NJ. Allard, and from
the writings of Ernest Seyd, Mr.
Teller said that every excuse except
the right one had been made for the
present financial condition. Over-pro-
duction, over-trading, and variety Of
other excuses had been made, while
the real cause was plainly in sight
That cause was the broken link be-
tween gold and silver. The fall in
prices was the result of the rise in gold.
Mr.. Teller, in the course of his speech.
was challenged by Mr.. Higgins to re
concie his argument with the fact that
while the prices for wheat and other
productions had been tending down
ward, the prices of Indian corn anG
pork had beer high. The reason given
by Mr.. Teller was that the high price
of pork was largely artiticial-the re-
suit of speculation-while that of corn
naturally went with that Of pork. Both
the products, therefore, had been with
drawn from the ordinary law of supply
and demand Mr.. Washburn took part
in the discussion, agreeing in the main
with Mr. Teller.

DALTON GANG AT CHURCH SUPPER
The Dalton gang, who have been very bold

when they appeared in gang at Cushing,

by the ladies' of the church there. They left

Don 81. Kedzie, the able editor of the
Lordsburg Liberal, and R. P. Hart, a prom
inent citizen of Lordsburg, were visitors in
Yuma yesterday. They visited the San.
ford farm. Yuma Heights and other points
of interest and were very much interested in
what they saw.-Yuma SENTINEL. They
enjoyed their trip very much and came to
the conclution that Yuma will eventually
become one Of the garden spots of the world,
but this probably will not be until the
Supreme Court gets through monkeying
with land grants. There is a large grant in
the valley below Yuma; the Land Court
said 1t was good grant and gave a good
title to the claimants. The attorney gen.
eral, in spite of the opposition of the people
OF the vicinity, appealed it to the Supreme
Court, where it will be tied up for several
years. The people of the town wanted to
see the grant confirmed, because it would
then be ditched and farmed and be a source
OF great prosperity to the town. 1t much
better for town to have the land surround
ing it owned by land grant company than
to have it belong to Uncle Sam. The com
pahy will improve it and sell it, while Un-
Gle Sam will prosecute man for perjury if
he attempts to get title to bit of it.
There are some very fine gardens in Yuma,
one of them surrounding the office of the
SENTINEL, whose proprietor and editor, Mr.
Dorrington and Col. Allen seem to have
reached the acme of editorial comfort. They
sit in delightful corridor to attend to their
business. At one end is bower of roses
in bloom the year round while beyond the
roses are lemon trees, from which can be
picked ripe fruit eight months of the year.
At the other end of the corridor are the
grape vines whose fruit furnishes the Juice

tree that shades the composing room win.
dow, stirs the whole with section of sugar
cane, growing beyond the orange tree, and.
10, the product is punch that will make
the proprie tor forget the delinquent sub
scriber, make the editor forget the shadow
of the man who wants to know "who wrote
that piece, and, more important than all,
makes the composilors forget whether they
were paid off last Saturday night or net.
An endeavor was made to purchase the SEN
rINEt, but who would sell paradise? The
SENTINEL was twenty-five years old that
day and the paper AMI its surroundings
were as dear to the hearts of its owner and
its editor as it was the day they started it.
May the SENTIUEL live for a thoucand years
and its owner and editor be there to greet
friends and visitors whenever the writer of
this has occasion to travel that way

The Mohave County Miner, says:
Ed. Lands came up from the
damsite on Bill Williams Fork
Thursday morning. He says the
survey for the dam has been made
and the lands to be irrigated ex-
amined thoroughly. The dam
will be built in the Canyon and
will be sixty feet in width at the
bottom and twenty feet wide at the
top. 1t will be one hundred and
sixty feet high. A reservoir seven
miles long and two miles wide will
be obtained. The water can be
taken out to a depth Of forty feet
from the bottom and two hundred
thousand acres of land will be ir-
rlgated. The scheme is a grand
one.

northern part of Yuma county.

plish it."

The Prescott Journal-Miner says
that the scheme to irrigate the
Mohave valley has fallen through.
We are sorry to learn the sad fate
OF one of our pet propositions but
hope that it will result in bringing
into prominence a wider and bet
ter scheme financially and agricul-.
turally and that is the damming of
the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.
A steel frame work will be put in the
canyon against which great bould-
ers from the top of the canyon can
be placed, forming an immence
cataract from which an illimitable
power can be generated. Water
can be pumped from the river over
fully fifteen million acres of the
rinest lands on the Pacific coast.
The great Arizona valleys can be
irrigated from this system. The
scheme is one of the grandest on
the American continent. 1t would
return more money to the invest
ors in one year when in operation
than would the Nicaragua Canal in
ten years. Just think of the mil
lions of acres that could be reclaim
ed and upon which could be raised
every kind of fruit produced in
America, besides all kinds of farm
products. While we are not
versed in civil engineering we know
the scheme to be feasible. All
that is needed is money to carry
the proposition through. It will
not cost much for capitalists to in
vestigate this proposition and learn
for themselves the vast undevelop-
ed wealth that lies within their
reach.-Mohave County Miner.
