 In fact, in a residence of sixteen years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat and they recovered. Their condition, however, was more the result of whisky than heat. The air is so dry here that a registered temperature of no degrees Is not as oppres- sive as 30 degrees in St. Louis or New York The Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact, and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be fulls 30 degrees. At nearly all times there is a pleasant breeze; the nights are invariably cool in the summer, and outdoor labor is performed without serious discomfort to Very seldom does the thermometer get be- low the freezing point in winter, and in the gardens of Florence to-day are castor bean plants two years or more old,

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR,

On the big, unfenced ranges of the
West cattle from one herd frequently stray
away and join herd belonging to anoth-
or ranchman, and for mutual convenience
and protection the cattlemen in the va
rious States have associations which keep
agents at the principal cattle markets to
watch for such strays and ses that the
result OF their sale is credited to their
proper owner, no matter in what ship
ment they reach market. During last
year 8, 1854 head of stray cattle belonging
to ranohmen In the Black Hills country
were picked out in Chicago, and OFT in
Omaha, and through the association their
owners received the money from their
sale. The cattle are identified by their

he can entirely ignore the wishes of those

The British expedition to tho Soudan
seems to be undertaken partly for the
purpose of assisting Italy In her conflict
with Abyssinia and partly to thwart a
pretended danger to Egypt from the adj
vance of the dervishes northward. The
British foreign Secretary In his address
In the House of Commons made it very
plain that Great Britain is in close SYM
pathy with Italy in her Abyssinian ex-
petition and that she regrets her
recent defeat by King Menelek. But
the way she has taken of expressing
her sympathy is liable to prove
very costly. The last expedition the
British made into the Soudan which
was for the purpose of rescuing
Gen. Gordon proved an utter failure, and
reflected no credit on British arms. The
climate is bad ana the character OF the
country is extremely unfavorable for
campaigning.

The continued depression in business
and the failure Of industry to revive are
undoubtedly aiding Gov. Mckinley
greatly in his canvass. The present con-
dition of course directs attention to the
prosperous times that the country enjoyed
under the Mckinley bill, and as Nc
Kinley's name was attached to that meas
ure the effect is to direct attention to
him. But the Mckinley bill though
having the governors name was no more
his work than that of dozen other men.
But for M. Reeds presence in the
Speakers chair it could never have been
passed Indeed Mr.. Reeds part in MAX
ing that measure into law was far more
important and conspicuous than Mr..
Mckinley. It the Mckinley bill were the
cause of prosperity the country is under
far greater obligations to Mr.. Reed than
to Mr.. McKi1lety. AS matter OF fact the
bill was Republican measure and no
one Republican has any special proprie-
torship In it. 1t reflected the best judgment
of what protective tariff should be at
that tins. 1t by no means follows, how
ever, that it would be adapted to present
conditions-aud therein consists one of
the great dangers Of making Mr.. Mo-
Kinley the candidate. His name is SO
closely associated with particular meas
ure that his nomination would almost
inevitably make the campaign turn upon
the schedules Of this particular measure
who'd was adopted some years ago.
Instead Of the campaign being
fought on the general policy of
protection which is easy of defence 1t
would almost surely be fought upon a
particular application of it which might
not be SO easy to justify. Speaker Reed
stands for the policy Of protection as
fully as Gov. Mckinley, but he is not so
closely identified in the public mind
with particular application of it as is
the latter.

question is of free silver coinage. Those

silver amt gold; but they do not believe
that the use Of both can be secured in
the way pointed out by. Garter, Mantle,
Teller and the rest.
General Grosvenor speaks with great
confidence. By what authority does he
declare that the convention will do and
what it will not do. Does he speak for
Ohio's delegates-at-large? Or for all
Ohio, or for all the statesP We hope the
convention will be controlled By men
who have both convictions on the silver
questions. and honesty to express their
convictions. At any rate if we under
stand anything at all Of public senti :
ment, men are tired, tired to disgust and
WEAKNESS of words that mean whatever
one may chance to say they mean. Free
