An Easy Solution Offered for the
Vexed Question.
Capt. Tevis, the old Cochise county
democratic war horse, gives his views of
the modus operandi for bringing peace
and prosperity to this country, estab
fishing the Monroe doctrine and fiatten-
ing John Bull out in the middle and at
both ends. He writes as follows:
81 wish to say that according to my
idea the solving Of the Monroe doctrine
problem with Great Britain is the east
est thing Imaginable, to wit: Instead
of fappropriating fabulous sums of money
for ship building, coast and harbor de-
lenses and 'appropriating enormous sums
for the mobilization of vast army let
congress pass the silver bill and estab-
lIsh a ratio of 16 to l. Do this and the
death knell of Englsnd's commercial
and military supremacy will have been
rung. Silver, like wheat, is almost
wholly an American production. Turn
the wheels of industry in the exploits-
tion of the white metal and wipe out
the tramp element that now menaces
the land and which was unknown at the
time Cleveland issued his infamous
silver letter. This surplus labor could
find employment either In delving for
the precious metal or in the manufac-
ture of articles necessary to its produc-
ton. Then ia case OF war We would
have an abundance of good and substan-
tial coin to carry 1t on.

tor Stewart and insist that now is the

RIDING OVER AN EARTHQUAKE.
Novel Train Experience Of an Americas
Traveller I'm Turks-.

Traveller I'm Turkey.
Riding OF train over ground shaken
by earthquake is the novel experience
OF a Constantinople correspondent of
the Cincinnati Tribune. He thus de-
scribes it:
"All at once the air grew still, an
oppressive silence seemed to hang on
vale and hill and all the people stopped
short. It seemed to me that we ran in
to 4 bad piece of track or that our train
had suddenly quickened its pace.
saw a Servian woman with a child in
her arms stagger, stop, take the water
jug from her head and hug her fright
ened baby to her naked breast. Hun
dreds of yoke cattle were lowing, bur-
ros were braylng ard the whole
fOcks of sheep were crying on
the distant downs. Meantime the
though we were not making more than
forty miles an hour, we appeared to
fairly fly. Men stood still and stared
at the heavens. A Mohammedan slid
down from a pack mule, spread out his
prayer rug, set his face toward Mecca
and prayed. Christians crossed them
selves, and as often as / stole a glance
at the driver found him looking at me.
It'll now L had attributed the action
of these wild people to childish wonder
at seeing the train sweep by, but when
l looked at the almost pale face of the
sunbrowned driver l was bewildered.
The things / beheld were all so un-
natural that 1 felt my head swimming.
Glancing ahead 1 saw the straight
track take on curves and shake them
out again, resembling running snake.
The valley had become a narrow
gulch, and from the near hills arose
great clouds of smoke, as from a quarry
when the shots go off. The fireman,
who had been busy at the furnace
door, stood up now and gazed at the
driver, who pressed his left hand over
his eyes, then took it off and tried to
see, but made no attempt to check the
speed of the flying train. As a drunken
cowboy dashing down a straight street
sways in his saddle-as a wounded
bird reels through. the air-did this
mad monster of locomotive swing and
swim over the writhing rail.
Suddenly great curve appeared IN
front of US. This time the stoker, who
had left off firing, saw it, and made the
sign of the cross Again the driver hid
his eyes, and again 1 felt my brain
growing dizzy trying to understand.
We could hear and feel the engine
wheels rise and fall on the twisting
rail with deafening sound. At last
she settled down and began to glide
away as boat glides down running
stream. What is it?' asked Of the
French fireman.
'Tremblement de terre,' he said,
shaking himself violently and fainting
to the floor, and then 1 understood that
we had been riding over an earthquake.
The driver was either too proud and
brave to stop, or too frightened to be
able to shut off steam; don't know

SILVER TO THE RESCUE.

EVERY home seeker and every

EVERY home seeker and every home
eteader in Arizona will say amen to the
temporary Injunction grsntsd by Judge
Rouse sgeinet the Casa Grande Valley
Canal csmpany. The CITIZEN does not
for @ moment wish to be unfair to any
legitimate enterprise, great or small that
has investments In good faith in Ariz.
ona, but such enterprises, especially
when they are Of public character,
must be considerate of the rights Of
others as well as OF their own. This
christian fact the Casa Grsnde Canal
company appears wholly to have ignor-
ed. The old Florence Canal manage
ment, the original builders Of the canal,
sold deeds to water consumers and re-
ceived q moueyed consideration there
for, but in due course of time this
company seeks to disappear from the
public geze, and the CASA Grsnde Val
ley Canal company floats to the fore.
Now, SO we understand ii, this new COM
pany has all the rights and privileges of
VIC O1a OnCs Oob PoAticc hoANAb6 "oecA
certificates Hereunder have none Of
them. 1t was plainly case of heads l
win, tails you lose. The new company
sought to impose new exactions detri-
mental to those dependent upon it for
water. Had these been complied with
there was nothing to prevent another
reorganization Of the company and the
administration OF another nexious dose
to its subscribers. 1t was therefore de-
cided to resist the demands of the COM
psny in court and an Injunction debsr~
ring the company from shutting off wa
ter from land holding deeds under the
old company was prayed for and has
been temporarily granted by Judge
Rouse, before whom the case wae heard.
The case will egain be called January
9th and whichever way il goes will be
taken to the supreme court for final ad-
Indication. We have known Judge
Rouse ever since be came to the terri
tory and have an abiding faith in the
justice of his decisions. Holders o
wster certificates in tie canal company,
new or old, will be given fair and a
square deal. More than this they do
not ask.

sWATSON LIKES BLOOMERS.
Bought a Su 1t for His Daughter and Was
Angry When His Wife Cut It Up.

Silas Watson, a Sidney On. " farm
er, purchased bicycle for his fifteen
year-old daughter recently and also
gave her money to buy bicycle cos
tune. When MISS Watson rode into
the yard attired in a bloomer her moth
er was astouished, but the father was
much pleased with his daughters ap-
pearance and ability as cyclist. The
mother declared that her daughter
should not be allowed to dress like
new woman. After the girl had re-
sumed her ordinary dress and gone toa
neighbor's the mother took the bloom
ers, chopped them mp and presented the
pieces to her daughter when she re-
turned, with the following note:
Here is what is left of your abomin-
able bicycle suit, which your father en-
couraged you to buy. No daughter OF
mine shall ever be allowed to parade
herself in public dressed in bloomer
costume. Take these pieces and use
them in some articles of patchwork as
a reminder of the folly manifested by
yourself and father" ,
Farmer Watson was so indignant at
his wife's conduct that he Immediately
gave his daughter more money to buy
another bloomer costume and assured
her that she should henceforth be pro-
tected from a similar experience.

The party keep together, travelling by
easy stages, about twenty miles day

the wagons are drawn up in circle,
