CHURCH OF SAN XAVIER.
Its Construction 200 Years Ago :
Miracle.

11racIes
The interesting history of the early
labors and achievements of the in
trepid missionaries of Rome presents
samples of the wonderful possibilities
within the attainment of mans energy
hen directed and governed by in
domitahle viii power.
The building of the many magni-
ficent temples in the new world dedi-
Gated TO he Catholic religion during
the sixteenth and seventeen tn ceptur-
les, with no o. her obstacle in the way
except the lack of money, would have
stamped the accomplishm ent as a
miracle, but when one contem plates
the achievement with a knowledge of
the awful dangers from savages and
other unfavorable environments the
physical results of the efforts of those
pioneers are beyond Comprehension.
The fierce and warlike tribes, lords
of the forest, with the instincts of eb-
solute, untrammeled freedom, inhab-
tied from thousands of years of free
ancestry, were not only subdued to
spiritual way contrary to all their ira
ditions. but were brought under hum
bic submission to a fuedal tyranny
which compelled them to labor at the
behest of their coDquerors.
The mission of San Xavier del BAG
Was established two hundred years ago
sometime about the year 1692-un-
der the auspices of the Reverend
Father Kino. Up to the expulsion of
the JesuIts in 1867, the mission was
under their charge. About 1869, two
years So bsequentiy TO the expulsion of
the Jesuit fathers, the mission of San
Xavier del Bac was added to the parish
of Jumacacon, under the mIni>try of
the Franciscans, and, according to the
most authentic date obtGinable, the
present structure was commenced
about the year 1888 by the Reverend
Father GARLIC and finished about
1897 bv Father Gutierrez.
Much speculation is INDUCED in as
to the cost OF this magnificent struct-
urP. Evidently the common labor
was performed by the vasssls Of the
church, but the work requiring skill
and practice was either done by the
devoted priests themse. YES or by some
artist from tie uthern countries.
Tue church was all-powerful In
those early times, and 1t ruled with a
twofold scepter. Its prestige was
both spiritual and temporal, ard its
demands, when not voluntarily COM
piled with, were enforced by the mill
tary arm of the government. The
church cor stituted a strong feudal
hierarchy. The tenures to lands in
these outlying parishes were udai
and depended on the payment of
tthes and the rendering of personal
services when required.
Uuder this compulsory labor system
the Indians became practically slaves,
performing work on ali public struct-
ures when required without cOmpen-
sation. In his way, what would cost
an incredible sum n"waGays, were
built those grand edifices scattered
throughout Mexico and South Amer
Ica. as monuments to departed great
ness. It is situated nine miles south of
Tucson, Arizona.

Tho Mineral Market.
FARM PRODUCTS ABROAD.

HORSES are very cheap in Australia.
The horse markets are glutted with
animals offered, for which there is no
demand. Similar reports come from
Great Britain. Indeed the depression
in the prices of horses seems to be
world wide.
n FINE stud of hackney horses has
been established at Buda-PGsth, Hun
gary, by wealthy gentleman named
Wahrmann. Among the foundation
animals are thirteen mares from the
renowned Brookfeld stud of Mr.. Bur-
dett Coutts.
THE agricultural department of India
has adopted what is there spoken of
as "a new idea" and which consists
in publishing for general distribution
monographs, similar to the farmers
bulletins of the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
FARMERS in all the parts of Europe
which suffered from drought last year
find it difficult to provide forage to
keep their live stock through the win
ter. In France and Germany, twigs of
trees and vines are made to contribute
to the subsistence of cattle and sheep.
UNITED STATES COMMERCIAL AGENT
SMITH reports that the Rhine vintage
of 1898 was full one-balf crop. This
is gratifying amount, as a three
fourths vintage is rarity and a full
vintage remarkably scarce. 1t is ex-
pected on all sides that the Rhine wine
of 1895 will be fine in quality.

ENOUGH encouragement is not gwen
to outside capital toward establishing
enterprises in or around Tucson. Where
it is krown that an outsider wants
property, and where he needs 1t, even
though the projsct will result in general
good to the vicinity, and indirectly to
the owner, prices 90 up. sometimes to
the prob. bitive point. OF course capital
comes here for its own good, and not for
that of Tucson or Pima county, but at
the same time it deserves all encourage
ment. Prices Oh sites wanted should
be held down. 1t would be better for
owners to give sites away and get some
thing from it indirectly than to run prices
up to where no sale is made. Capital is
very independent in this regard. A
case Ia point is one occurring last week,
where a msn supposed a certain ex-
callent project was in need of lands he
had, otherwise of d small value. Up
we1t his figures TO where they threaten
ed to choke off the enterprise at once
1t proved to be the fact, however, that
his land was not necessary, so be will
simply be left out, and make 70 sale,
instead OF one for q reasonable figure
Tue capital IN question was very in
dependent and declared its int ntion of
retiring from its plans at once. This,
fortunately was prevent by the as
surance of the Tucson promoter that
the lasd in que. ton was not needful to
the work, and could be avoided entirely.
This Will be done.

The democrats is Illinois who achiev-
ed sigma vict ry at last election are
desparingly Illuminating over the
gloomy outlook for the future. The
state central committee met 10 Chicago
on Monday last, for the purpose of
fixing the time for calling conven-
ton, and it was anything but enthusiast
tie. 1t was the decided opinion of the
committee that the present national
conditions were not conductive to the
success of the democracy in Illinois.
They claimed that the stubborn pro-
crasiination of Cleveland in filling
federal Offices with democrats has
sOured the members of the party
throughout the state to an extent that
has more thaa once or twice bordered
on open revolt, and good many of the
are blunt in their express
sion of opinion that he has nearly
destroyed hope for continued party
in the state. Hard times
and the unsettled financial and indus
trial conditions have made things worse
and hence it was believed that the
democratic party in Illinois will be in
the soup at the next general election.

perhaps you would not think so,

so common that very few people, unless
it is a case of pneumonia, pay any at
tention to a cold. New York is one of
the healthiest places on the Atlantic
coast and yet there are a great many
cases of catarrh aud consumption which
have their origin in this neglect Of the
simplest precaution OF every day life.

HERBERT BROWN - Manages,
HARRISON ON SILVER.

When the republican senate passed
the bill authorizing the free coinage OF
silver the democrats loudly pa-aded the
idea that if the democratic house should
also pass the bill that President Harri-
son would veto il. But all the same
they took good care not to trust him
with it but killed IT in the house of its
supposed friends.
When passing through Trinidad,
Colorado, the other day, President
Harri on wes called on for speech and
he ulte it tingly showed himself the
friend of s liver and declared that had
the bill in question reached him he
would have signed it. He said:
You have another interest out here
which you have asserted with good
deal of vehemence and determination,
and that is the silver question. Now,
say TO you today what l said when l
was president, and what / have always
believed, that larger use Of silver for
money and the free coinage of silver
upon basis to be agreed upon that
would maintain its parity with gold Was
good for the whole world. l do not be-
lieve that we could use free coinage our
selves while the European governments
were pursuing the policy they have been
pursuing with silver. But, my fellow
citizaDs, there are clear indications now
In England and 10 Germany that they
are feeling the effects of a scarcity of
gold and its Frustrating effects upon the
industries. / believe these two great
countries are nearer right today than
they have been for the last twenty years.
They are all considering faVorably the
question of larger and freer use of sill |
yer as a money metal, and bimetalli M
has gained strength in England. That |
ener setic young emperor is himself con- !
sidering the question of bimetallism. i |
do not think tha; these countries are |
coming to the next silver conference as |
a coy maiden waiting for us to make the |
advances, holding back. but will come |
with greater readiness. as / have said, |
than 10 any recent years, and will agree
with us upon bssis for larger use of
silver as money. | would have been 1
glad If this could hav- been complished
while was at Washington. | said TO
one of your senators then that if could
bring about the free use OF silver upon
a basis that N my judgment would main
tain Its parity as money, / would rather
sigualizs my administration by that ect
than by any other that l knew Of.

offered in the house by Repress utative
Taylor, OF Indiana: "Whereae there is
