Electric lights for Car..

The Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul rail-
way yesterday tested a device for the
electric lighting of railway cars. The ma
chine. which is the invention of William
Biddle, OF Brooklyn. was attached to a pri-
vate car bearing party Of railroad men
and capitalists and to Milwaukee and
back, with results that were satisfactory
70 the promoters of the system The ma
chine is TO be placed upon every car, and is
driven from one OF the axles and geared
direct from the axle TO the dynamo at a
ratio OF three to one The dynamo is one
horse power and wound to give a current
or twenty-eight volts. One of the features
or the invention is electrical changing
switch which automatically changes in the
direction the car Is reversed, so that in the
backward movement OF the train the light
remains steady. The machine is automatic
throughout, and the electricity is not gem
Grated when the car is moving at a rate
less than twenty miles hour. A system
or storage batteries provides for a steady
continuation of the light during stops of the
train, and will run the lamps for five hours
after the car has stopped. The lamps, dur
ing yesterdays test, gave a steady, brilliant
light that did not vary I'm intensity during
the switching and stoppage of the train.
The davice is controlled by the American
Railway Electric Light Company. 1t is
claimed by the company that the system
can be operated at a cost not to exceed
that OF lighting by oil.

To Amend the Interstate Act.

representative StOrer, or ONO, yesterday
introduced bill In Congress to amend the
interstate-commerce law. 1t repeats all
punishments by Imprisonment for violations
OF the interstate-commerce act, and renders
the corporation itself punishable. 1t also
repeats so much Of the present law as pun
ishes any shipper for violations Of the law.
Concerning the bill Mr.. Storer says: AT
present they are liable to the same penal
ties that a carrier is. The present law is
Ineffective. The penalty Of Imprisonment
and servants Of great corporation, and not
merely fnficts the penalty of loss of lib
erty for al action which public opinion
hardly yet considers a crime, but renders
IL exceedingly difficult to obtain any evil
Qence sufficient to warrant the conviction
The supreme Court OF the United States in
the Well-knoWn Counselman case, in 1892,
decide that as the law then stood no man
connected even remotely with the transac-
ton. which was in violation Of the inter-
state-commerce law, could be compelled to
testify, as he might directly or Indirectly
crfminate himself. AS the law now stands
under the amendments passed by the Fifty
pointed out by the Counselman decision
tne courts have again held that the spirit,
II not the letter, of the Constitution had
been violated, and that so long as an act
Is In violation OF a statute no man who
MAS a party TO 1t can be compelled to be
witness, even though the law seeks to pro-
tect him from future prosecutions on that
account. The repeal OF the provisions re-
curing imprisonment for violations of the
law has been recommended at divers times
ana has met with the approval Of nearly
every thinking who has given the
subject serious consideration. BY repeal
ing the clauses making violations of this
law penal Offense on the part of the Gus
toner or the shipper, the consigner or the
conSignee, or their agents, IL IS hoped that
court to COMPELLING testimony Of wifyes ses
Will De fully and effectually met"

The controversy has been a complete vic

the depressing influences it has of late
brought to bear upon transcontinental rates

ANCIENT FASHIONS.

GRREK ladies had steel and brass mir
rors. Parasols, fans and smelling bot
ties.
LAY figures for fitting on ladies
dresses were invented in France about
1890.
CoRsErs have been found on the mum
mies Of Egyptian princesses of the roy
al family.
The women of the middle ages al
ways parted their hair with a small
dagger. When not in use it was car
ried in the girdle.
WIRE hairpins were invented in Eng
land in l545. Before that time the fe-
male cOitfures were held in place by
fine wooden skewers.
KID and silk gloves came into use in
Europe about the end of the fifteenth
century At first only princesses and
ladies of high rank were allowed to
wear them.
FROM 1874 to 17SG the style of hair
dressing in Paris changed seventeen
times. and went from the extreme of
short curls and a skull cap to hat
three feet broad.
IN the Roman catacOmbs have been
found several sets of false teeth, manu-
featured from ivory to repair the raw
ages of time in the mouths of Roman
beauties.

THE IRRIGATION coNvEN TON

In October last, says Hsrper's Weekly,
an irrigation congress assembled at Los
Angeles. This convention was attend
ed by delegates not only from all of the
trans Missouri states and territories
but also from various countries in
America and Europe. At that time an
interstate organization was perfected
for the purpose of holding interstate
and local conventions in the interest
of this great western industry. One
convention has since been held in New
Mexico and three in Kansas, and now
another interstate convention is called
TO meet at Omaha Cd the Dist instant.
1t is thus seen that great interest is
taken in this subject throughout the
western half of the United States. This
ancient industry is comparatively new
in civilized America, but has already
attained large proportions. The last
census reports an area of nearly four
million acres cultivated by irrigation IN
the trans Missouri country. a little
more than two-fifths of the United
States, exclusive of Alaska, is either
sub-humid or arid. Ii the sub-humid
regions precarious agriculture is
possible without an artificial supply of
water, but crops very often fail for want
of rain, and irrigation is necessary for
perennial success. In the arid region
all agriculture depends on irrigation.

THE SEIGNORAGE BILL.

RumOrs are thick connecting the
president with a dicker, or ATTEMPTED
dicker, with the silver men in connec-
ton with the bill for the coinage of the
seignOrage, now awaiting the action or
non-action OF the president. Some Of
these rumors have it that a deal mad
been made with the silver men by which
the bill would be signed in exchange
for the votes Of the silver senators for
the tariff bill; others that majority of
the house coinage committee had prom
lsed t, report no other silver bill if this
one was signed, and still others that an
offer had been made to the silver men to
sign the bill if they would promise to
vote for bill authorizing long term
per cent bond issue Representative
Sweet, of Idaho, a republican member
of the coinage committee and silver
man, was SO indignant at the rumor con-
corning majority of that committee
having made promise concerning the
future action OF the committee that he
prepared Z resolution d recting that
committee to investigate and report
upon the following questions; Were
such assurances given the president?
IL so, did the committee authorize
them; and if so, whence the committee
derived its authority? L: such author
ity was given by the committee who
was authorized to convey the assurance
TO the president? If no such action
was taken by the comm ttee, then if
am member or members assumed to
speak for the committee and the house,
that their name or names be ascert sined
and reported to the house.
Mr.. Cleveland is placed by the coinage
bill, as the saying is, between the devil
and the deep sea-" IF he follows his
own inclination he will veto it, but the
party pressure is So great that he
hesitates. He gets no consolation from
his cabinet. which is divided Gresham
Herbert and Smith favoring his s,going
the bill; Bissell, Lamont and Olney
advocating veto and Carlisle and
Morton non committal but believed to
be friendly towards the bill. Mr..
Cleveland has until the 20 inst. to
decide, but every day brings additional
pressure on both sides.

TIE Juapa Walker case that has been
dragging its slow course through the
courts for the past year came to a sud
den ending 10 Florence a few days
since. Under the rulings of Judge
Rouse a marriage could not have been
contracted between John d. Wal er and
an Indian woman, and any Off
spring resulting from such union could
not inherit the property of the deceased
alleged father. This disposes of the
case so far as the lower courts are con-
cerned, but it is understood that an
appeal will be taken to the supreme
court by the attorneys for the Juana
Walker side of the case.

j. A. REAvIs, or as he fondly calls
himself, "Peraltareavis" Is in town for
tie purpose of wetnursing his enormous
land grabbing scheme. Heretofore we
have retrsined from adding to his
notorious reputation by more than
casual reference to him. He stated to
the writer, when on former visit here,
that he preferred to be called vile
names by the press Of the territory
rather than not be noticed ct all. This
is the class of individual be is, gaping
for notoriety no matter, in what guise
30 long as it reaches him. AS he was
not receiving the usual course of treat
ment that is generally accorded him
he boldly sdvertises his pretentions
knowing full well that such course will
draw attention to him. We have
gratified his weakness to the above
extent.

CAREY'S ARID LAND BILL.

Washington advices under date OF
March %, states the senate committee
on public lands will probably soon
take up Senator Carey's bill granting
each of the arid land states and terrific
ries million acres each of public lands
20 be sold to settlers in lots of 100 acres
each. The secretary of thu interior
endorses the bill and the commissioner
of the general land office has written
a letter in which he takes an advanced
ground in favor of the improvement OF
the arid regions by placing the work
under the control of various states.
He said: "The states are highly
interested IN the reclamation OF the
arid lands within their boundaries and
the settlement and cultivation thereof
by individual citizens. The work is too
vast to be undertaken by the general
government. Local and community
interest under state control will sum-
ulate results with far greater seal and
success. The principal proposition in-
yolved, the reclamation and settle
ment by individuals in small holdings,
meets my strong approval and this bill
seems to me to present a full oppcr
tunity for a practical experiment and
under proper safeguards"
The states and territories TO which
the bill will apply if it becomes a law
are: Arizona, California, Colorado,
Idaho, Mantana, New Mexico, North
Drkota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah,
Washington and Wyoming.

COMMON VEAL CoxEY is out Of luck.
A portion of his army has been disband-
ed and call to settle a little indebted
ness of $4,000 L. temporarily distressing
him. This liability was incurred
through the purchase of a ia
nous $4,000 horse with which he hoped
to head the procession. To relieve him
of this troublesome embarrassment an
appeal has been made to the populists
throug bout the country, and fiattering
response of $3.50 has been forwarded for
his relief. WheH the general first stood
in his toys of war he felt as big as a red
barn, but the toad behind the barn was
mammoth in its proportions to the gen
eral when be faced the attachment in
the hands of the Pittsburg sheriff.

Our efforts have been directed, first for

A MONTH ago we published dispatch
from w. +. Foster, of ST. Joseph, Mo-,
announcing certain storms and cyclones
which be predicted would come on
given periods in March. In letter to
the CITIZEN ne referred to the telegram
and asked that We carefully note the
issue. The result has been as prognos
ticated. The storms, cold weather and
cyclones are now history, painfully so to
those who seriously suffered from their
terrible severity. That the weather laws
are gradually being understood there
can be now no doubt.

In view of the current reports as to
the sailing of the Columbia mines in
southwestern Pima, we are of the
opinion that such business should be
made penitentiary offense. IL it is
not already SO on the statute books of
the country it should be made so. We
do not believe in making a whole coun-
try suffer because of the rapacious
rascslity of a few designing and IN
scrupulous individuals. Arizona has
suffered much from this class of mis-
dolngs and the sooner halt is called
the better for the whole community.

The Saturday Review published in

The Saturday Review published in
Phoenix, joins the CITIZEN and Bull
letin in their protest against the pay
ment of public money for foreign
''write ups. A number of cases are
cited in evidence OF the unsatisfactory
results arising from such class of
advertising. In no instance has the
game been worth the candle. In con-
Guiding its article the Review says:
Support the papers of Arizona with
the same liberslity that has been be-
slowed on the outside press, and Arizona
papers will protect the territory against
the encroschments of the outsiders
But every dollar sent outside for ad-
vertising is fostering the, enemies of
Arizona as well as statehood, and
weakening the local press, the only
safeguard for Arizona or her institu-
tions.

CONSIDERING the pending pension bill,
which is but a temporary makeshift OF

man who voted the democratic ticket at

THE press of southern Arizona, with
one or perhaps two exceptions, are
decidedly averse to the payment of
public money for foreign write ups.
Particularly is this the sentiment of
the republican papers, but among the
democratic papers the Graham County

Review must not be forgotten. Eviden-
tly the juncketing trips of eastern
