IT seems little odd to find Repre- sentative Warner, of New York City, who was all during the session one of the faithful band of house cuckoos, pfe- venting by his objection action upon a bill that was being urged by the admin istration. The bill in question is that for the prevention of the coming of alien anarchist immigrants and for the deportation of those now in the United States. The blll was unanimously passed by the senate and in view of the statement made by treasury officials, that they were iO possession of descrip- tions of 500 dangerous anarchists who had been driven out of France and Italy by recent legislation agalnst an- archists and were now headed fer the United States, 1t was believed that it could be easily pnt through the house under unanimous consent, that being the only way it could be passed in the absence O; q1orum. But it was not put through. MT. Warmers objection to the bill was that it gave the Superinten dent of im migration full power to de- port alien anarchists without any action by the courts. Perhaps Mir. Warner thinks the allen anarchist votes of New York City will be needed by the demo cratic party this year, and that his prevention of action on this bill will make sure of them.

THE IRRIGATED FARM.

The irrigated farm is the only ''sure- thing" farm on the face of the earth, says Cy Warman, in McClure's Magazine for September. Here a man may, for the smell sum of one dollar an acre, make it rain or shine on any or all o' his acres when he wills An irrigated farm never wears out.
 There are farms in New Mexico that have been irrigated for two hundred and fifty years, and they are today hs good as new. The Pima Indians of Arizona, we are told. have cultivated the same lands for five hundred years, and nothing has been applied but the water which freshened and fertilized the
 What can be accomplished by irriga- ton haa been demonstrated in Northern Colorado, the garden spot of the west, if not of the world. If the men who followed Fremont over the sands of this sun-dried sea could get but glimpse of the glorious country as it is today, great would be their surprise. Where then the cheerless wind swept through the sage brush; where the horn ed toad and the rattle-snake hurried from the trail; where half starved wolves seemed seemed to hang on the edge of the world and cry in the night for some thing to die where nothing could live bright June roses bloom today. The broad canal sweeps down the plain, and the music of running water comes up from every roadside and mingles with The winds are softer now, and bring to the traveller at the palace-car window the sweet fragrance of the fields, and the scent of apple orchards already in bloom. The busy farmer is making furrows in the brown fields where the seed is sown. The lazy cattle are crop pint the clover, leaving the white blos- soms for the bees, already busy in the honey harvest. The farmers wife bustless about, setting hens and onions, and settling little disputes between the children. Crooked-legged calves caper in the corrals, and soft-furred colts with bushy tails follow the farm wagons down the dusty road.
 If all Colorado's gold, silver, lead, and copper mines were closed forever, if would not be half so hard on the state as would be the failure of her fields to produce. The drying up of her irrigst ing canals would cost the people four dollars for every dollar they would lose by the closing of all the silver mines in the state. Even the residents have but faint idea of the wonderful resources of the state and the fertility of the soil

Avoiding Pain and Peril.

Defensive measures against the foe are ever adopted by wise commander. You can be commander of the situation and strike a decisive blow at the start at that dangerous and relentless enemy, rheu mRtism, if attacked by it, by resorting in time to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which checks permanently the progress of malady, among the most obstinate, painful aud possibly dangerous, against which medical skill and the resources of materia medica are arrayed. No evil dence is more concurrent and convinc- ing than that which proves that the Bit ters neutralizes the rheumatic poison and checks it's farther development in the system. For malarial and kidney trouble, dyspepsia, want of vitality, ner- veusussf, liver complaint and constipa- tlon, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the leading remedy.

SOME men don't know good thing when they see i'. We fear we are one of the some. The Fla Halean Gold Min ing company, with mines at Cripple Creek and the principal offices at Colo rado Springs, Colorado, capital of one million shares at par value of one dol lar per share, full paid and non assess able, has stood us up with proposition for advertising the same, ito be paid for in non-assessabie treasury stock at three cents per share" The proposition is a most fattering one end the president of the company "feels justified in recom- mendiLg it to us as good investment" We are further told that "all the large periodicals throughout the country have accepted this proposition" As R large periodical we are of course expect ed to do likewise. If we cared for money we would write the president that he was our persimmop, but as we are above and beyond the snares of worldly wealth We will sell the whole proposi- tion cheap for cash. This offer is open only for few days and we would sd- wise intending purchasers to hurry up with their soap. Nothing like being pronto.

Tariff Outlook Bright.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.-Chairman
 Wilson left today for West Virginia to be present at the congressional conven- tion of his district on Wednesday. His renominstion is conceded without op- position. He will address the conven- ton and his speech will be his first ut terance outside of congress. MT. Will son said today the outlook for genuine tariff reform was very bright. The first step having been taken, it would be easy to proceed to full realization of tariff reform. MT. Wilson said the prin- clple of tariff reform characterized the present act even though the rates were not all that was wanted. When asked what there was in the assertion that resumption of tariff legislation next win ter would bring recurrence of business unrest, he said that 1t was wholly un- warranted. There need be no general bill reaching all industries, so that the legislation will not be such as to affect commercial affairs generally. Tariff rates will remain stable on a very great majority of articles, and it will be upon a comparatively few that perfection of details will be necessary ID order that the tariff reform placed on the statute books shall be a consistant as whole"

University Doings.

The University professors are doing good work in Arizona this summer. pr. Comstock will go out again in a few days to study the geology and mineral resources of portions of the territory not yet visited by him.
 Professor Boggs, who is territorial delegate to the Irrigation Congress at Denver, will probably join pr. Comstook afterward in northern Arizona, and to- gether they will make studies of the water supply and facilities for lrrigs- tion. Dr. Comstock is also making a tour of the territory to look up the best locations for agricultural experiment stations and report plan for operating them in different sections. In this ina protant work he is ably assisted by the members of the council of the experi- ment station.
 Professor Tourney IS now engaged in studying and collecting botanical mate and northward.
 professor of chemistry, will arrive in a IeW UdyS huu tdho part Ill luO "OIh OA investigation.
 The bureau of mines under the care of pr. Comstock and Professor Goodloe is making itself felt in the territory. A five stamp battery and plates for the treatment of gold ores is to be put into the mill at the University, which will make this one of the most complete test ing works ln the United States. The way in which the miners of Arizona have svailed themselves of the facilities of afforded by this plant amply proves it's adsptability to the purposes for which it was constructed. Notwith- standing the difficulties of transporta- ton and other draw backs, the bureau of mines with its small force of workers, has already tested and reported upon nearly 400 lots of ore sent in from all parts of the territory.

IT is not worth while for American gold miners to rush te the new gold fields of Coolgardie, or Counani, CT Mo gunda, says the New York Sun. Amer jeans would have very poor chance in the Australian gold mines, which are worked mainly by native blacks and Chinese ooolies and Afghans, and which are under peculiar laws, not favorable to outsiders. The same thing may 5e said of the mines in British South Africa, which are under the administra- ton of companies of British capitalists.

UNDER the Mckinley law cattlemen in Arizona were protected against com petition wirh Sonora stock growers, but the Wlison-Gorman tariff bill opens the gates along the whole line and instead of sl0 duty per head, as heretofore, the law now is twenty per cent ad valorem. Cattle can be purchased in Sonora for s5 per head Mexican money or s2-50 per head American money. After paying duty cattle will stand at B per head on this side of the line. No American ranchmar on earth can compete with such prices.

a Strange Island in the Gulf of Cali
 nruia

OrnIa
 General Guillermo AndTade, the pos- sessor of Tiburou Island in the Gulf of California, has the following to say re- garding it and it's inhabltants:
 That island of Tibufon in the gulf that has coms into prominence through the report that savage cannlbals poss- essed it," said the general, "l have held many years. It IS about thirty miles long and from twenty-two to twenty five miles wIde, and five or SIX years ago l thought of raising cattle on 1t. l got an interpreter and bought s lot of calicoes, handkerchlefs and trlukets of various kinds which 1 intended to present to the Indians.
 Then with an escort of twenty five Mexican soldiers 1 set out. But when 1 arrived at the island the Indians were so wild that 1 could not get near them. The Indians are very tall and thin, but weak, and they run like deers. l had sent a man and his squaw in to tell them l only meant good, and had presents for them, but the wouldn't come down out of the ironwOod and mesquite covered nils. Once when I got sight of an Indian I took afterg him, thiklng 1 could catch him, and two or three of my men joined me. But it was no use. He ran so fast we could not get near him.
 That sisnd has very high hills in the center and, around the border is a flat valley. IL has grass, sage brush and other bushes on 1t, one of the bush es being d very nutritious bean, called joiova. It is oily, and as good as corn for livestock Up in the hills the bush gets bigger.
 ''TheFe are plenty of wild animals on the island. When I went there 1 saw very large tracks Oh the sand, and said at once, Why there are cattle here already But there were not. They were the tracks of the great elk which roam there. There are also deer, wild cats, coyotes and mountain lions. A bout the island in the gulf are vast variety of fishes. Clans in large num- bers are to be had. Turtles in plenty and far bigger than an ordinary cook stove are all along the island shores. They are green turtles and they are fine eating. I was searching for springs for the cattle which l proposed bringing | over but the Indians all running away as they did, never completed the ex- plorations 1 intended.

LOTS of democrats are more inter- ested in the gossip about the reported combination between Vice President Stevenson aud Senator Hill than in the tariff. According to the little that has leaked out about thIs combination it was formed for double purpose. First, to prevent the renomination of MT.

This weeks visit of Stevenson and Hill to the grave of Thomas Jefferson at Monticello was for the purpose of laying the wires to get control of the democratic machinery as & starter.

TIE belief is abroad in Arizona iD gen. erRl that Delegate Mark Smith is popu- lar in his Eome county-Cochise-and that if up for his usual biennial request he would get rousing big vote there. Such is very far from being the case. Mark Smith has fewer friends In Co., chise county than ever before. As one man there puts if, "All we see of Smith or hear of him IS every two years just before election" Great vials of wrath are pent up in Tombstone for Mascus Aurelius for his throwing off on an Im- portant silver convention at Chicago, which he was elected 60 attend. It seems that he staid in town and sat on Col onel's Hafford's beer kegs and told Ken lucky fish yarns instead of atsending the convention, as was wanted or lin Another time while in Washington he was requested to attend a meeting III the east of importance, the request coming from a mass meeting in Tombstone, and all D6dlU ll hbS Smith explaining" that the letter from the chairman of the meeting reached him two days after the convention he was delegated to attend had been held He is great hand to explain, is Smith Four years ago he explained that he coald do nothing in congress because the republicans were In the minority In the past two years his party has beer in, so the explanation he has to make now for having done nothing will bt awaited with some curiosity. One thing is sure-Cochise is not going tC send a majority for Smith if he is nomi mated. Many there only want the chance ''to get at him."
