HOW TO RESTORE PROSPERITY.

The debate Gu the tariff bill, says the
New York Recorder, begins i'll the
senate today; at least, the consideration
of the measure is the special order, and
in all probability it will not be set aside
to give place to other business.
What fortunate thing If would be
for the whole country If Senator Hill,
Seustor German, Senator Brice or some
other member of the body should move
that the bill be .os'poned until the newt
session OF congress, and il the senate
should agree to it!
Within ten days new life would be
surgiEg through all the arteries Of COM
merce, trade and industry. Idle capital
would find profitable Investment. The
great army OF the unemployed would
ba marching every morning to the now
silent factories and workshops. Comfort,
happiness and prosperity would be
restored TO hundreds OF thousand of
homes, and the spectre of adversely and
poverty be banished from every nook
and corner Of the republic.
The bill should be postponed. The
overwhelming majority Of the people are
opposed to it, and will SO declare at the
polls next November. They will repudi-
ate the party that has framed it. Why
not wait and submit the question to
Their decision?
The bill is deadly blow at the inter
ests of many states represented in the
senate by democrats. These democrats
should rise above party and vote against
this baleful bill, which is certain to in
iure so many great business enterprises
in which their constituents are Intere>t-
ed.
Why pass "A bill which the people in
the next national elections will declrre
Should not have been passed?

it will occupy the top of the hill COM

Prof. Douglass but declares the nee
essity. Every business man in town
will contribute money or men to do the
work. NJ. L. D. Childson, city engi-
neer, wishes it understood that he will
survey the road free of cost. MIR. A.
j. Davidson will contribute man and
a team, Mr.. Scribner a weeks work.
Hon. Sam Hughes is willing to teke
charge of the work and will contribute
both men and teams TO the enterprise.
Any number of others will come in at
the merest intimRtion that their servi-
ces are needed, and sufficient money can
be raised in a few hours to build doub
or treble the road if necessary. All
our citizens now await is but the declar-
alton of Prof Douglass that he wishes
the road built.

NOW FOR BIMETALISM.

The presidents veto of the seignior-
age bill had been expected, discounted
and dismissed. The discrimination to
renew the fight for the free coinage of
silver had already been made known.
The fight has already been begun. 1t is
a good time now to face this issue.
There is trouble the world over, trouble
due to disturbed and wrong financial
conditions. 1t will not suffice to plead
simply for international bimet8lism.
It England doesn't want it, the world
cannot have it. Ii England prefers this
single gold standard, the world must
have 1t. But there is this qualification:
to 6 country is great enough TO have its
way the world over, or at all events her
statesmen ought to be patriotic, brave.
far-seeiBg, enough to insist that this
country shall have its way the world
over. They ought TO be wise enough
to set in motion economic forces that
shall compel the obedience OF the fnan-
cial world. 1t is good time now to
begin to settle this financial question.
The ancient, tiresome, so called leaders
of the silver cause must take a rest.
They have needed it for a long time;
their cause has needed il for longer
time. The real financial prophets must
point the way. Six-cays speeches have
served their purpose; the issue of
Weaver and decayed eggs will not do.
It must be business. II must be real
leadership, real wisdom, real patriotism,
real bravery. Any editor, any senator,
and representative, any college profes-
soF, any crank, may suggest his remedy.
1t may not be the free and unlimited
coinage of the silver product of the
world; il may be the free and unlimited
coinage of the silver product of this
country. 1t may be something else. 1t
must be a recognition of silver-Wash-

A PUBLIC NECESSITY.

Yesterday a number of citizens ap-
peared before the Hon. Board Of Sup
ervisors and pesitioned them for bridge
across the SAINTS Cruz river, at its inter
section with Stevens avenue. The reas-
ons urged were on the broad basis OF
the public good. The cost of the bridge
will probably exceed 1900, but of this
amount but 1000 was asked from the
county, and even this amount was to be
paid from the road fund OF the district
as il accumulated over the wants of the
district. Citizens agreed to furnish any
additional moneys required over the
$1,000, and give bonds for the construc-
tion of the bridge within q reasonable
time, the same to be built under the
supervision of the board. The PROPOSE
tion met with the approval of the board
aud an agree ment was made to meet
the committee on Saturday afternoon
next, when plans and specifications will
be submitted.
The necessity for such bridge is
urgent. During the summer rains travel
Bcross the valley is practically suspend
ed. At time it is even impossible to
reach the hospital, which is situated on
the west side of the valley. Sick and
injured have heen detained on this side,
and 1T has been impossible for medical
attendance to reach the unfortunates in
the hospital pending the subsistence of
the waters. This call On human sym
pathy should alone be sufficient cause
for the building of the bridge, to say
nothing of the demands of business
which are almost daily becoming more
urgent.
The opportunity for securing the
Lowell observatory is exceedingly ia
vorable, and in that event another neces
sity for the bridge is made manifest
The possibilities are that the erection
and maintenance of the observatory fol
one year will require an aggregate ex
penditure of $4,000. but aside from the
outlay, whatever it happens to be, the
location of the observatory on the hill
opposite town would do much to adver-
tise southern Arizona.
The terms upon which the citizens
offer to build the bridge are full OF pub
lie enterprise and spirit and the county
cannot, in the interest of public neces
sity, afford to ignore the offer made.

DIAMONDS IN ARIZONA METZ
ORITES.

In a report, says Harper's Weekly.
made by George F. Kunz so the United
Geological Survey mot yet in prlnD an
interesting account is gwen If an ex-
pertinent made at Chicago during the
Worlds fair 10 determining the char
acter of what appeared to be diamond
carbon found in a meteorIte by Profes-
sor George A. Koenig, of the universi-
ty of Pennsylvania. Professor A. E..
Foote, of Philadelphia, obtained q piece
Of meteorite from Caflon DIablo, Ariz-
ona, in 1891. He sent it to Professor
Keonig for examination. The piece
weighed about sixteen pounds. When
al attempt WAS made to cut it, it was
found to be remarkably herd. The edge
of hGlf-inch chisel was repeatedly
broken by it. One spot in particular
was so hard that the tools produced a
black powder instead Of chips. When
the meteorite YVES being cut, en- attempt
WAS made TO polish the sections on an
emery wheel. The emery wheel was
ruined. Diamonds had been noted pre-
viously in Russian meteoric stones, and
Professor Koenig pronounced the black
parti- les from this Ariz lna meteorite to
be diamond The PARTICLES of this sub
stance obtained were so minute that the
ordinary chemical tests could not be
applied to them; but Mr.. Kunz suggest
ed at the meeting of the Academy OF
Arts and Sciences that if enough clear
grains could be obtained to polish a
diamond, the nature of the substanc ce
would be definitely determined. About
two hundred pounds of the meteoric
iron was examined, and specimens
which appeared to contain diamonds
were dissolved. The exhibit of diamond
cutting in the mining building of the
Worlds fair gave the opportunity for
trying the experiment. and Tiffany &
Company made preparations for the
test. A diamond-polis shIng wheel was
specially planed down, and prepared
with radiating scratches so as to be
easily charged with diamond power
Arizona weekly citizen., 1894-04-14

charged with the meteorite power mixed
with oil. As soon as the diamond was
placed on the wheel a Kissing noise
showed that it WIS being cut. In three
minutes one face Of the diamond was
polished. After series of experiments
with this powder, Mr. Kunz says he is
satisfied shat it is diamond, "or a sub
stance with the same hardness, color,
lustr', and brilliancy."
This experiment is interesting only as
showing one of the queer freaks of
nature. Why a meteorte should be
charged with diamond-dust is no more
apparent than is The reason for the
discovery of a single diamond in a
Kentucky field. There has been but
one diamond discovery in Kentucky,
though certain sections of the state
have been studied minutely with view
TO probable development of diamond
niuee. The diamond in the United
States is almost as great a freak as the
diamond dust in the matscrite.

WHILE the British Brewers Trust IS
trying to secure cheap barley, barley

member that low wages mean a smaller

smaller consumption of beer. Closed
