Tucson and Phoerix The first is near the sea level; is the warmest and probably tie driest of the three, has the least population. and the smallest provision for visitors. Tucson is the oldest town in the Territory. and, after Santa Fe, perhaps the oldest in the Southwest Its adobe houses give it Mexican look, and are thorcughly comfort able. Its newer houses arc of a handsome building stone, found in the vicinity. The Territorial University is here, and it was formerly the capital Its elevation being more than double that of Phoenix, it is somewhat cooler, and as there is next to no irrigation near it, the air is little drier. Phoenix Is the centre of the greatest irriga- tion in the Territory. Tie country for miles around smiles with green fields, cover ed with almost countless herds of cattl:, and it is everywhere shut in by low mount aims. It is the Territorial capital, has the Government Indian School, the Territorial Lunatie Asylum, and other institutions, and is the general focus for the Territory. Like Tucson, it has its occasional wind and sand storms-perhaps not quite so often. At either place visitors who know how to adapt themselves to circumstances can be entirely comfortable, and in each they will
 find an intelligent, orderly, enterprising and most hOspitable community. They will find country full of mines, full of rich agricultural lands, abounding in cattle and horses, in vineyards and orchards and the
 beginnings of very successful orange groves "a country, in fact, as full of promise for hardy and adventurous men now as Califor- nh was in the:ffties. Above all, it has been their lot to search for health in far countries, they will revel in the luxury of
 being in their own land, among their own
 countrymen, within easy reach of their friends by telegraph CT rail, and in climate as good of its kind es any in the world.

WHY CAPITAL SHOULD SEEK YUMA COUNTY. Because its mines are the richest.
 Because its grazing lands are the best.
 Because it's farming lands are valuable and productive.
 Because 1t gives assurance Of the largest returns on money invested.
 Because it's grand resources are yet to be developed.
 Because it is a young, growing county with an assured future.
 Because the opportunities for engaging in manufacturing enterprises are better than in any other region of the West.
 Because good mining properties can be had at reasonable figures.
 Because there is a demand for additional facilities for ore reduction
 Because there are vast stretches of rich soil to be reclaimed by the construction of irrigating canals.
 Because there are large tracts of grass lands that can be utilized by the sinking ot artesian wells.
 Because there are many openings in a new country which cannot exist in older com munities.
 Because the opportunities for engaging in the successful cultivation of semi-tropic fruits are better than in any other part of the United States.
 Because property values are rapidly ad- vancing.
 Because Arizona's boom is yet 70 come.
 Because it is a virgin field, ready for the seed which will produce golden harvest.

acres, now proftless can he made productive by the construction of irTgatng ditches, and there is no investment which assures larger or more permanent returns.'
 The foregoing statements are not exaggerated; in fact. they fall short of doing justice to this won derfui land. Pineapples, datec, almonds and wal nuts will do we'll Strawberries, raspberres, black berries currants gooseberres and all varieties of small fruits can be successfully cultivated Indeed Yuma County is not only the natural home of tEe citrus and sen,i-tropical fruits, as almost every fruit nut, plant grain, grass or vegetable which eau be produced in either tropic O. temperate zone will thrive in its rich and fertile soils.

aims and deserts. The man who looks for either the beauty or the seductive excite ment of Monte Carlo will not find it. As little will he find the historic remains or the cosmopolitan attractions of Egypt; nor could he reasonable expect the amusements and luxuries of our own Eastern cities. The people of Arizona are still chiefly busy in the pioneer work of subduing it to the residence and uses of civilized man. But 1t has two transcontinental lines Of railw ay with numerous feeders; it has fast mails, and rival telegraph lines, and is throbbing with the intense life of the splendid West
 The two principal towns in the south ern portion, chiefly sought for their climatic advantages, are Phoenix and Tucson. Each of them has ten thousand inhabitants or more. They have the electric light, tele- phones, trolley cars, plenty of hotels, banks, bookstores, good schools, churches, an occasional theatrical performance, some times lecture or @ circus, often horse race, and. Tn the spring. thoroughly curious and interesting "iesta." For the cest, people must take their amCsemCnts with them. Good horses are abundant and cheap, and there are plenty of cow boys-the genuine article-to show what horses can do. The driving for fifteen or twenty miles in almost any direction from Phoenix, is nearly always easy. The roads are apt to be dusty; but there IS one we'll sprinkled drive of six or eight miles; and since the winds are quite regular in their direction, it is rarely difficult to choose a route or which the dust will be largely carried away from you. The unbroken desert itself is often as easy to drive over as an Eastern highway, and the whole valley is paradise for bicyclers, or eques- trains.

COLORED REPUBLICANS
HOUNDED.

HOW THE NEGRO DEMOCRATIC ASSO-
CITATION HAD COLORED REPUBLI-
CANS DISMISSED - NO INFLUENCE
WITH PUBLIC PRINTER BENEDICT
Very soon after the election of Mr..
Cleveland there sprung up in this city
several democratic Negroes and sew
eral so-called democratic associations,
They represented to chairmen of dem
ocratic committees that they repre-
sented democratic organizations that
had a membership of several thousand
men. In this city an attempt was made
to call a meeting to convince Senator
Faulkner that there was a large num-
Der of Colored democrats in the city.
Some of them who had little more
sense than some of the others, thought
it would not be advisable to show their
hand.
Notwithstanding, they went from one
department to another and had colored
republicans dismissed.
They seemed to have had cinch on
the Treasury and Post-Office Depart
mentS.
Public Printer Benedict would not
listen TO InGlI ldlC Vi WOSJ HSHCS COl-
ored republicans were not removed
upon partisan:grounds or because these
so-calIed Negro democratic clubs de-
manded their removal.
The BEE has in its possession COM
munication signed by the president,
chairman of the executive committee,
and secretary of the Negro Democratic
Congressional Club, requesting the re-
moval of a colored. republican by the
name of Joseph N. Mayne in the Hy-
geographic Office, Navy Department,
and the appointment of Mr.. R. w.
Turner, who it is claimed has been a
staunch democrat for fifteen years.
These colored democratic officers are
now in office, they having succeeded
colored republicans.
The BEE believes that men should
be allowed to think as they please on
party issues, but when a so-called Ne
gro democratic organization requests
the removal of colored republicans be-
cause they are republicans, should be
given a similar dose. In the Post
Office Department colored republicans
were removed by the wholesale.

states that last night he addressed
over 1000 colored people in the Afri-

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
mere Is only one way to cure Deafness
ana that is by constitutional remedies.
DEAFNESS is caused by an inf1amed con-
dltlon OF the mucous lining of the Eu-
staachlan Tube, When this tube gets
lnfiamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth

WHAT THE BEE WOULD LIKE
TO KNOW.

lit IS not the most truthful paper in
the country,
fits predictions do not always come
out true.
Why is it that so many colored men
apply for one office?
# il would not be well for some
indres to take lessons from Judge
Bradley's ruling on libel.
Ttne Civil Service Law will not be
abolished.
VIII not a number of these office
seekers walk home.
