MEXICAN MUMMIES.
The Grewsome Spectacle in the Catacomb
 at GuaEajuatO.


 In different places, including Guana~ juato, Mexico has display of compara- lively modern mummies and of cata- combs. The practice prevails, as in Barcelona and some other European communities, of renting tomb space for the use of corpse. In Mexico, if at the expiration of the original term there is nosrenewal of the lease the corpse is evicted and dumped into an extensive underground chamber. If in the dry air the evicted mummifes he stands against the wall; if he tumbles to pieces the bones join the vast miscellaneous heap. The Guanajuato catacomb is ghastly enough to satisfy the most ex- acting connoisseur of the grewsome

WATER FOR FLORENCE.
How the Government May Aid Indians
 an.' Whites.

Florence Tribune: The IstouAS WD' S, on desire to influence the report VI VI s.i ~, !, Arthur P. Davis of the United Sta geological survey, regarding the mer- its of the Queen creek and Butte res ervoir sites It has no idea that it could influence the report if it had the desire. MT. Davis is faithful, pains taking official, and for the past several months he and h-s corps of engineers have been working hard to complete the surveys of the two sites in question: That work, which has been very ex- haustive, is now about completed. AS is well known, the primary object or these surveys has been to. supply water for irrigation to the Indians on the Sacaton reservation. It is believed that the Queen creek reservoir Will Iur- nish sufficient amount and can be constructed for one-quarter or the cost of the Butte reservoir, but in getting inc water for the reservation the canal will mass through a body of government land that for fertility and adaptabll- ity for cultivation cannot be surpassed m the globe. Without that very water the land would be absolutely worthless. Can the government afford to waste US resources in such a lavish manner! Land is not as plentiful as 1t once was' and must not be wasted. On the otner hand the Butte reservoir will furnish water for the Indians as we'll as for the white man. The time may come some day when even the poor white man will he believed to have some rights 1n this country.
 Captain Pratt of the Carlisle Indian school may not believe this, but 1t is true nevertheless. That gentleman was out from Pennsylvania recently, and took occasion to tell the Sacaton Indians how they were being robbed of their water by the farmers Of this valley. when if he had made proper in vestigation he would have learned that if all the water in the Florence canal were turned into the river it could not possibly reach Florence, much less the reservation, but would sink in the sands. It is such creatures as this man Pratt who are responsible for most Of the trouble with the western Indians. They idealize them, and dress them up in tennis suits and gymnasium cos tunes and think they are a little bet ter than anything that has ever yet ap- peared on earth. This won't do. The Indians have rights, as all must ad- mit,, but that their rights are superior to those of the hardy frontiersrnen who have made this country what it is to- day, must be denied absolutely, for it is not true. In catering to the wan6s of the Indians the government must not forget it's own rights and those of fho c:ti1pn ifa lihprtV and the Dur- suit of happiness are guaranteed by !. the immortal declaration of indepen- @ @dence, and it is only of late years that this was supposed to include but the goldbug and the Indian. But this idea may change, and when that time ar rives the name of the engineer who recommends and builds the Butte dam will be remembered and blessed in the homes of thousands of happy people in the great Casa Grande valley.

But, notwithstanding they are now in the city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the 'Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of a dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property.

Altgeld is a millionaire, owning
ore the largest buildings in Chi
cago, compelling his tenants to pay
their rent in gold, while he inveighs
aginst the rich ''plutocrats" and
talks for free silver, and is preach :
ing anarchy. He is an able man,
and therefore dangerous man,
for he cares for nothing but pol1ti-
cal success, and he expects to be
reelected Governor of Illinois by
the vote of the discontented, the
laboring masses whose friend he
pretends to be, and the votes of the
anarchists and criminal classes in
the cities, and the striking coal
miners and labor unions. He is a
millionaire, and while he shoots off
his mouth for free silver he COM
peIs every one renting a room in
his skyscraper building, the Unity
in Chicago, to sign lease making
the rent payable in gold. Great is
the humbug, and Altgeld is it's
