cattle, is very bright just at present,
The recent storms have insured
good grass for the coming season,
and there will be no loss this sprin :

GOOD ADVICE.

The Advocate congratulates the
editors of Arizona on their en-
dorsement of Hon. M. TT. McCord
for Governor, Mr.. McCord has
become a thorough Arizonian and
if chosen Governor, which we have
no doubt of, he will do more to
advance the interests of Arizona
than any man that could be named.
Now il the editors of Arizona,
regardless of their party prejudices
will only turn their attention to
educating the peoole OF Arizona on
the financial question and show
them that it is folly for Arizona
to stand up against the rest of the
country for free silver at l6 to |,
with Myron H. McCord as Gov
ernor, Arizona will he on the high
road to prosperity and statehood.
In our opinion irrigation and
statehood will do more to bring
prosperity and population to Ari-
zona than all the silver coined or
uncoined could possibly do In
fact the biggest need of Arizona is
correct financial notions. But we
10 not know as anything we might
,ay on that subject will have any
influence out there, so we will close
his article by again assuring the
Arizona editors that they have tied
10 the right man, when endorsing.

Some idea Of the difficulties that

THE ISLAND OF CRETE.

The Apostle Paul found things
stormy when he visited the island
IF Crete, and in his letter to Titus
he eases his mind by automatically
quoting the opinion given of the
natives 10y tone of themselves. even
a prophet of their Own, who said
the Cretans are always liars and
evil beasts" Then he boldly adds,
"this witness is true" Whatever
Improvement may have overtaken
their habit Of dissaising the truth
in the course Of nineteen csnturiea,
it must be confessed that they have
managed to hand down goodly
share Of cat-and dog quarrelsome-
ness to the present generation.

Sighting, and fight is not reckoned

up of Moslem Greeks and Christian
Greeks. either mixture being bad

s,ve when mixed.
The island belongs to Turkey
though it is coveted by Greece, as
ii she had not trouble enough of
her own. Home rule has been
tried, but failed, because there WIS
too little home and too much rule.
The conditions are such that there
is very poor prospect for mil
lenial peace IN Crete until Greek

shall have extermintted each other
to make room for their better. -~Ex.

A step in the right direction.
Irrigation schemes, water storage
companies, or anything that tends
to provide homes for the hundreds
of thousands that are homeless
should he fostered, protected and
encouraged. It is the one thing
Arizona needs to place her in the
front ranks of the states OF the
Union. Storage reservoirs ana
the reclamation of our fertile lands
will do more to make this territory
one of the brightest stars In the
galaxy of states, than any other
one thing that could be mentioned.
The possibilities of Arizona, from
an agricultural standpoint, with
her surplus waters husbanded and
distributed over our plains and fer
tile valleys, would be Of almost IN
calculable benefit to the human
race. Arizona, properly titled,
could furnish homes and a oom-
fortabls living for five million peo-
Pile. Our legislators. recognizing
these possibilities, have introduced
a bill exempting from taxation for
a number of years sugar best fac
tories and water storage enter
prises. These bills should pass and
become a law. They will prove to
be of greater benefit TO the people
generally, than the building OF rail
roads. A rich agricultural country
will promote railroads Railroads
do not foster or promote an agri-
cultural country.-Ex.

THE GOLD OF THE SEA.

Both gold and silver exist in
about equal quantities in the water
of the ocean. Various estimates
have heen made of the total Of
these precious metals held in solu-
tion in all the seas Of the globe.
The latest experiments bearing on
this question are those of Prof.
Liversidge of the University OF
Sydney, who fnds IN the waters
surrounding Australia the quanti
ty Of gold per ton Of sea-water
varies between half grain and
one grain. Calling the average
threc-quarters of a grain to the
ton, and putting the number OF
tons Of sea-water to the cubic
mile, in round numbers at 4,200,-
100000. we see that there are
3, $50, 100000 grains or about two
hundred tons Of gold in every cu-
bic mile of sea-water. 1t has
been estimated that all the oceans
combined contain about 300,000.-
900 cubic miles of water, so that
if the same proportion exists every
where, the total quantity Of gold
held in solution by the sea would
be 6o,oOo,o0o,Oo tons. This, at
$40 per troy ounce, would be worth
500, l9l. .O4O.0 900, 100000, or trans
lated into words, more than thirty
nine thousand millions Of millions

but will retain their heavy armament
and several officers and small crew
will be left on each. They will be so
nearly in readiness for use that not
more than twenty days will be needed
to fit them to go to sea. One reason
for the establishment of the reserve

but the chief reason is that modern
