THE WEATHER BURE aU.

The instruments. says Harper's Round
Table, used Ia observing the weather
are the ameroid and cistern barometers,
wet ard dry hub thermometers, wind
vane and compass, thermometer and
Rnemograph, and the rainfall. VI all
these the barometer is probably the
most important The standard form OF
the instrume5t is a tube thirty-four
inches long, closed at the top, exhaust
ed OF air, aI6 immersed at the bottom
in cup of mercury. The purpose OF
the barometer is to measure the pressure
of the atmosphere. La general, the
mercury will stand high in the tube
when the weather is fair, and low when
il is foul. By noting the minute changes,
measured on graduated scale beside
the tube, the observer reads the indica-
tions OF the barometer. The words
''falr," ''change," ETC., engraved on the
front of the instrument are disregarded.
They have no significance whateyer.
The rising or falling OF the mercury in
the tube is caused by the beginning OF
those atmospheric changes which pre-
cede storm but are not discernible by
our senses. The barometer dIscerns
them for us, and gives warning OF
weather changes. OF course there are
many different conditions which effect
the instrument, and the weather OBJ |
servers are instructed in these matters. |
The aueroid barometer is round, like |
one of the cheap nickel-plated clocks
thst are so numerous, and the changes
are indicated by hand moving scross a
scale on the dial. The weight of the
atmosphere is measured not by column
Of mercury in tube, but by the expsn-
sion and compression of small metal
box from which the air has been ex-
ha1eted

THE latest scheme of the Cockleburr
democracy was q startler. Following
the suggestion of the CITIZEN they had
decided to nominate Governor Hughes
for congress, and a representative COM
mittee consisting of Hons. Fred G.
Hughes, Jim Finley, Sam Drschman
and Charley Shibell we're appointed to
wait upon the Montezuman chief, and
in the name of the party demanded his
services. They were in search OF VIM
ner, OF one whose loyalty to the party
was unquestioned, one for whom they
could work for, vote for ard talk for.
On being ushered into his presence they
shouted Eureka" but we're instantly
frozen stiff by the icy stare of his ex-
cellency, who had mistaken the purport
OF the visit. On being carried out and
exposed to the sun they gradually thaw-
ed, and the diamond wedding Of the
and Cockleburr democracy
has been temporarily postponed.

HOW SPAIN Is WASTING MEN
IN CUBA.

According to the official statements OF
the Spanish government, 5,176 commits
stoned officers have been sent to Cuba
since the rebellion broke out in that
island in February, 1895. They have
had 112,6l9 non commissioned officers
and prlvstes under their orders, besides
the 1900 Spanish troops that were IN
Cuba when the war began.
As the total population of Cuba, out
side of the districts which have always
remained under Spanish control, is not
more than 100000 or 100000, it appears
that Spain has used almost as many
soldiers as there are adult males in the
entire TERRITORY from which the rebels
have drawn recruits for their bands. So
the weight of numbers has all along
been largely in favor of the Spaniards.
although, considering the difference IN
arms and equipment, the unframed and
irregular volunteers OF the
patriot armies ought not to be expected
to count for as much IS the Spanish
regulars, man against them.
The Spanish records admit that be-
tween March /, 1895, and January 81
1886, the army of Spain lost 3.S77 men
in Cuba by death alone. OF that num-
Der yellow fever is credited with kill
ing 3, 100. After all these Losses and the |
use of so great an army, the rebellion |
covered more of the island and was in |
Ill respects more formidable, at the
md OF the period for which statistics |
have been published, than before the
Spanish garrisons were first strength
med by troops fresh from Spain.
At the rate things have been going,
low long can the bankrupt Spanish
government succeeded in keeping it's
rmies in the field, and what hope ls
here for the pecificatlon of Cuba under
spanish rule? These are questions
which cannot be answered in any way
ncouragiDg to Spanish statesmen or
spanish generals. s.-Clevelsnd Leader.

u Yesterday afternoon at 2, the Msricopa
: County Repu blican Central committee
met ct the city hall, Chairman NJ. III.
McCord presiding. George Christy act
ed as secretary, assisted by II. G. Msgne.
A large and representative crowd of
Republicans was in attendance, not only
as committeemen, but as partisans in
terested in thesinitiation of the active
work OF politics in this, one of the great
est OF political years. The best of good
feeling prevailed and not doubt was ex
pressed that local success would in Nov
ember be joined to the grand National
victory that is inevitable.
Thomas Hine offered resolution fix
ing the apportionmeDt of delegates 90
the county convention on the besis OF
the Republican vote for n. 0. Murphy
at the last election. This was opposed
as being contrary to the usual custom,
which hae fixed the apportionment ia
| accordance with the vote on the high
est county officer elected and after de-
bate the following substitute, offered by
Judge j. Il. kibby, was adopted:
Resolved, BY the Republican Central
committee of Maricopa county,
II. That the basis of representation
IN the county convention fos the purpose
or electing delegates to the territorial.
convention to be held in Phoenix April
~. 1896, shall be one delegate for every
twenty votes Sand one delegate for each
fraction of fifteen votes cast for Hon. |
Henry E. Kemp for the council. Pro-
vided, however, that each voting pre-
clnct shall be entitled to at lenst one
delegate.
-. That the county convention shall |
convene IN the city Of Phoenix at 10
o'clock a. m { n Wednesday, April 10,
1886.
SO. That committee of nine, con-
sstlng of M. FL. McCord, Geo. Cbristy,
Pierce Evans, j. al. Ford, j. A. Kilroy,
@. w. Pugh, III. B. ST. Claire, l. ~ Bell
and K. g. Lowell be appointed, with
authority to appor,ion the delegates as
provided by this resolution, and to pre-
vide for the election of delegates from
the several precincts TO the county con
vention and for the appointment OF al
inspector and judges for each OF the pre-
cincts, and to perform such other acts
in issuing the Official call for the county
convention, as may to said committee
seem necessary, and to cause the call
thus issued to be published in the re-
publican newspapers of the county rs the
official act OF the county central commit
tee."
The meeting then adjourned.
Several short and pithy addresses
were made during tie course of the de-
bate on the resolutions, especially to be
noted being those Of rnos. Hine, j. A.
Kilroy, Judge j. FL. Kibbey, Thos. Flen-
nigau and W. II Hullings. The talk
made by the last named was generally
commended, the speaker setting forth
strongly and elcquently the necessity for
united action and for the burial of all
private grievances.
The concensus of opinion is that the
for repu ublIcanism has been
started under most favorable circur-
stances and that the brave front for bat
lie yesterday shown will be carried
through to entire victory at the polls.

THE FAvonITE SON BUSINESS.

The friends of Mckinley, says the San
Francisco Bulletin, have been reproach-
ed for having entered the states which
have nominated favorite sons. The
friends of Morton think that it was dis
courteous IN the friends of Mckinley to
elect delegates in Morton's state, and
Quay, Allison, Cullom, Manderson and
other favorite sons echo the complaint.

field on their merits. Allison is admit
edly in on the strength of being a sec-
ond choice, whom the convention may
take up if neither of the fret choices
can get the nomination. Morton, Quay
and Cullom are combination candidates.
Quay certainly does not hope to be nom
mated. Very few politicians in New
York believe that Platt is working for
the nomination of Morton. His pur-
pose is believed to be to hold the dele

States which it counts for Mckinley
are Kentucky and Maryland
