 The tide will soon set in stfongly against the Republican party unless the depression of business is altered. likeness and want breed bitter dis content which will never be overcome until there is ample employment.
 The foes America has to fear are not the sullen, savage Turks nor the insur- rectionists of Cuba nor the territory grasping British; but they are our own patient and heart-tired people, our own suffering, much promised people, who, betrayed and disheartened, no longer have faith in their party, and will turn to any leadership that offers promise of better times, believing that worse times can never come than those now existing.
 It is terrible thing to observe public sentiment adrift and unexplained and the people sweeping away from their affection to the old party.

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
The Mammoth Mine Caves In and
 Entombs Miner.
[From Inc Phnnix HeraId.l


 Yesterday morning gentleman ar rived in Mesa City with the startling intelligence that cave-in had occurred at the Mammoth mine and that miner named Stevens was entombed in small chamber sixty feet beneath the surface and shut in by tons upon tons of rock. As near as can be learned the accl- dent occurred Saturday night while the night shift was at work, and without moments warning the ground upon which stood the company's carpenter shop sank into the ffty-foot level of the mine. But one man was at work on that level and he was in drift at the far end and several feet beyond where the rock and dirt filled up the level.
 It is known that the unfortunate man was provided with two gallons of water and had several candles, so that the only immediate danger to him is apprehended from the air becoming too foul to sustain life. It vas estimated by the miners when the messenger left the camp that it would take at least six days to reach the imprisoned man. and though the men at work in the at tempt to reach him could hear him drilling, they fear that when they reach him he will have ceased to live. Every effort is being made to reach him, the entire force at the mine being engaged in the work in shifts, so that no time will be lost, day or night, in the work.

THE Ohio campaign revives the one issue which always, and to the exelu- sion of every other, will be before the people until it finally is settled and it will be fought out to a finish. This great overshadowing issue is bimetal- lism. With political wisdom that can not be gainsaid, the Columbus conven- tion of the Ohio Democracy has de- clared the devotion of the party in that great State to the principles and pre- cepts of the Chicago platform. There can be no doubt about this, and the issue fairly is joined.

THE TRIBUNE tow-hne is still at the disposal of the Citizen and Herald, should those papers desire to yank in any of the buns. We have no further use for it, and it hasn't even been strained in landing Governor. secre- tary, Judge, U. S. Marshal and Indian agent. Those Eastern fellows have much more confidence in a tow-line containing silver threads than one with gold, as they know that the latter must be fraud, coming from the West, where the interests of the people. are all with the white metal.

A Steel Dam.
lfrom the Prescott courier.l

At Johnson's canyon the Santa Fe railroad is putting in, three miles east of Ash Fork, a novelty in the way of storage dams, in the shape of the first steel dam ever constructed for this purpose. The entire structure will be made of heavy steel piles and braciHg, faced with three-eightplates of same nietal. The dam will be 65 feet high and is contemplated to with stand any amount of overflow water. as the water shed drained by the stream on which the dam is constructed covers an area of 56 square miles. One of the great obstacles to overcome in the construction of steel dam in this hot dry climate is the expansion and contraction, which has heretofore made the use of any metal for such purposes impracticable. This has been overcome in this instance by an ingenious device by which the plates, while securely fastened and water tight, are yet loose enough to allow for any amount oi exnansiou and contraction. The cost of the dam when complete will be 1 $25, 900 one-half the cost of masonry dam of same proportions.

ARIZONA.

In a report made by the House Com mittee on Territories on the Congress sional bill providing for the admission of Arizona as State there were pre- sented some remarkable figures in re- gard to itssize, population, resources, etc.
 The report says that Arizona exceeds in area the following ten States com bined: Rhode Island, Delaware, Con necticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maryland, West Virginia and South Carolina. The Territory is the sixth largest political division in the United States, embracing an area of 113,000 square miles or P, ,s20, 900 acres. It's resources are unlimited, and it's mountains are the Repositories of gold, silver, copper, lead, onyx, marble and precious stones. It contains nearly 40,000,000 acres of grazing land, much of which is a per- petual pasture, unknown to frost or snow, on which are maintained vast herds of stock. Its valleys comprise an area of more than 10000, ,000 acres of land, which, when brought under cultivation, give marvellous returns in grain, fruits and other products of the soil, there being in the southern part eleven months of growth, and in some sections perpetual season of seedtime and harvest, yielding annually the maximum of the soils productive power. It contains the largest un- broken forest area in the United States, there being from 5000, ,0O0,0OO to 10,- OOO,OOO,0O0 feet of standing saw timber. The climate is pure and dry, and is marvellous for it's health-preserving and restorative conditions, being free from every character of epidemic and contagious disease.
 Of the arid region Arizona is a favored spot, for its physical conditions are such as to give the most prolific re- suits. Its perpetual sunshine and absence of snow and frost give twelve months of growing season. Its lands are full of vitality, and its streams are heavily charged with fertiiizing ele- ments, which, when carried to the land by irrigation, are source of constant enrichment of the soil. Arizona has 10,000,000 acres of land capable of re clamation to agriculture, of which 997 900 acres are under cultivation All save F, ,000 acres of the higher alti tudes is under irrigation, and 165, ,00S under canals, but not brought undei cultivation, and 900 acres have beer added to the farming area during th' last year. There are now under con struction canals and storage reservoirs which will furnish water to reclaim 555, ,000 acres during the next twt years; and other enterprises con tcfr1pruvc -utrU rEcIuuuuI0u UtU 1000 acres additional.
 All kinds of fruit peculiar to ever1 section of the United States and thu semi-tropics flourish in this region The deciduous are of the best qualit. in the higher attitudes. Pomegrantes dates, olives and figs find here theil natural home, and as Southern Arizon; markets her first crop of fruits iron four to six weeks earlier than any other section of the country, this in dustry must be both permanent anC profitable.

THE Florence TRIBUNE man agrees with us that none but the dishonest element in the ranks of the cattlemen have aught to say against the new cattle iaw.-ISouthwestern Stockman.
 The TRIBUNE agrees with nothing of the kind. On the contrary, it believes the measure was dishonest from start to finish, and became a law through the machinations of dishonest men. With this exception the stockman is correct
