ARIZONA is badly in need of law that will deal more vigorously with the tramp question than any thing now on the statute books of the territory. As rule this wandering element is made up of the riff raff of the country, of men who will not work if work is offered them, and who live largely by theft or impor- tuned aims. They recognize no law but travel from place to place and prey on the people living along their lines of migration. The railroad employes have perhaps the most difficult task of all in dealing with this class of vagabonds. It is against the orders of the railroad company to allow them free traneporta- ton and it is likewise against the law to use violence in eiecting them from the trains. It IS nevertheless the duty of the employes to enforce the orders and obey the instructions of their employers, out in doing so they subject themselves to arrest and prosecution, for it is i'm possible to handle desperate characters with velvet gloves. They resist with violence any attempt to put them from trains, and the only thing to do is to meet them in like spirit. In this way tramps are sometimes injured, as was the case in Gila Clty Sunday. It is said to have been through no fault of the traiunen that the man was injured beyond ordering him off, and this they were bound to do. The train was nov ing at the time, but it is well known that tramps swing off and on while the oars are in motion. Occasionally they miss it and get hurt and then the brake man is made a co-sufferer. Tr8mps band together and swear to anything, but fortunately not much credence is placed upon them. Still trainmen have to suffer the annoyance Of arrest and trial, as in the case referred to. + the law would step in and stop brakebeam transportation it would do the country 8 most excellent service.

The mill is new to Gro Blanco. but the stamps and engine did years of faithful work for the Tombstone ore al Charleston, in Tombstone's palmy days The mill building is not yet complete. The mill comprises 10 stamps, fitted @ith concentrators, revolving tables, "buddles," which separate the metallic particles from the crushed ore, giving the concentrates, which assay from 40 to 50 per cent lead and 8 goodly quota of gold and silver. The engine is l20-hOrse power-much larger then at present ueeded. The future will see it's full ca pacity employed. The capacity of the mill is 20 to B tons of ore day. In addition a large amount of hand-picked ore is shipped.
 The water question is solved here in the best manner for the Gro Blanco dis trict-water storage. During the months of June, July, August, January, Feb ruary and March.

 Rains fall here to the annual average of F to 17 inches. This rainfall goes of the hills Ike the shedding of water from the proverbial ducks back. The can yops all show that when the rain does come this flow is large, their bottoms be- ing worn smooth, and wider by far than the drainage from the surface in streams fed from like area running the year around. Therefore this water must be caught while it is there. An inch of rain on a watershed few miles square makes a big volume of water. A water storage dam has been put in above the Montana mill, which while not the high est in the district will hold the most water of any in Gro Blanco erected to date. It is of solid masonry 36 feet high from the bedrock, and 130 feet long This dam is built across & narrow place in the canyon. It will back water so that when full it will'form fine little leke. The circumference of the lake, if the word circumference may be so used on form not bit like circle. will be one mile. The depth will range from g feet to nothing. This drains a water shed of eight or ten square miles, and will probably be filled after the next rainy season. A cut may be made to drain another canyon into it, should its watershed be too small. The mill is now run on twenty -five-minutes' rain and with as yet, (March II DO shortage It made @ maximum depth of eight feet and an area of quarter Of an acre The dam is built very substantially, and the cement will be well hardened by the next rainy season.

SENATOR STEWART, of Nevada, made public an open letter to MT. Cleveland, this week, which contains some fine ex- amples of a sarcastic style of writing. For instance: "The joint success of yourself and Lord Kim berley, in plant ing the British flag and extending Brit ish rule over Nicaragua is admired and applsuded by every loyal subject of the Queen, and will secure for you the love and respect of all true Englishmen. Your great and magnanimous nature will not be disturbed by the unreason- | able complaints of any of your own countrymen who continue to cling to the 1 narrow and unreasonable prejudices which the descendants of the rebels oi 1776 still entertain against that great and good government, which is still will ing to protect us, notwithstanding the Ill will and ingratitude of our deluded ancestors.

PRE- IDENT CLEVELAND is writing a book, not such one as his enemies would have him write, but one that will please his friends and create consternation in the ranks of those who love hIm, not for the enemies he has made, but rather for the friends he has made among the monometallists of the country. Just what he is burning the midnight oil to produce is not positively known but "The Science of Finance" with Nil. Cleveland's we'll known views cannot be wrongly interpreted. However much we may decry his financial policy we must honestly admit that he is man of more than ordinary ability and his book will undoubtedly have much considera- tion in financial circles.

THE Nogales Oasis is decidedly "fer- nenst" the Phoenix Republican and calls upon the citizens of that town to fore go their patronage to the offending paper. If the Republican did as charg- ed, published telegram detrimental to the people of Nogsles and then refused to give place to correction, the Oasis has certainly 8 grievance for which there can be no excuse. But we think there must be some mistake as the Re publican has hitherto been as fair to outside towns as it is possible for 6 Phoenix paper to be. This may not be saying great deal, but much must not be expected in that direction. The of- fensive telegram was in reference to the recen. small pox scare and we noticed that the Republican was not the only sinner on this issue. A week after the Phoerix publication the same telegram, |, or the substance thereof, wBs sent from Fairbank to Fl Psso and from there reported to the Associated Press and sent broadcast over the country. Ii was suppressed here not only on '.ccouni of its mature age, but also because we had learned the falsity of the report.

IMMEDIATELY on the cessation of hos. tilities in Nicaragua the United States hurried its war vessels to that point to protect American interests. It seems to us that our men of war were little late in getting there, as the English staid their own time there and then departed on their own conditions. It may have oeen that the Washington authorities were a little slow in catching on and the English enterlopers got away just in time to prevent a glorious democratic achievement.

RIMETALLISM.

Bimetsllism has been defined as m
 aucial system which employs the none! of the two metals, but assigns to eacf different duties. Silver, under sucn system. is maintained at parity Witr gold. but is not used as money or re- demption. This, however, IS not tne true definition of the term. Geuulne bimetalllsm includes the money or both metals es available for redemption pur. poses. l. implies the right of the debtor to pay with money of either metal. The United States slipped from bimetallism monometallism by giving the choice to the creditor. If, in 1879, when the Resumption Act went into operstion' the treasury had reserved the right to pay greenbacks in silver, part ID sil'er and part in gola, the United States would have been very nearly on 'rue bimetallic basis. All that would nave remained to be done would De sb amendment to the Bland Allison Act, so as to require the colnage of all the silver that was offered. What effect such an amendment would have had upon the commercial value of silver can only be copjsctured. Other nations closed their hints to silver shortly after. and the eff feet upon silver was depressing. Gold became the sole money of redemption in Europe and the United States, ana the fact that silver is more or less extensive ly used does not change their conditions es monometallic nations. No nation car be considered on bimetallic basis un- less both gold and silver are employed af money of final redemption.-S. F. Bull letin

SHIP railways and railway ships are
 now, it appears, to be supplemented by
 an smphibious railway which is to reach
 out a couple of hundred miles or so to
 sea. The Jacksonville St. Augustine &
 Indian River railway, having pushed to
 the southermost latitude in the United
 States touched by rail, it is now pointed
 out that an extension of a hundred
 miles or so would bring it to the end of
 the Florida mainland, and that thence
 it would be omparatively easy to push
 on to the island of Key West, by build
 ing and bridging along the chain of is lets, called keys, which stretch from the southeast corner of the peninsula in a southwasterly direction toward Cuba. ''These islets," says a dispatch, fare from one to four or five miles long and gre of good breadth. For the most part the water between them is so shal- low that 8 man can easily wade from one to the other. Here and there are deep and narrow channels, but there is nothing that presents any serious engi- neering difficulty. When this road is completed it will be possible to go from New York to Key West entirely by land in little over two days" It will occur to the ordinary land railway man that line l50 miles or so long, lying out to sea part | ly on sandy wastes and partly on bridges, would be difficult to maintain against
 the action of the wind and waves; also | that the barren keys would not afford
 much local traffic to support a marine | railway. But the suggestion that the | road if built to Key West would reduce I the ocean voyage to Havana to about | l50 miles has an attractive sound, while | the argument that it would greatly in-
 crease the value of the island to the | United States for naval and military | purposes is not without weight. Wheth- CT, however. capital will take the risk of carrying out this novel idea remains to be seen.-Rsilway Age.
