LAST week Judge McCollum
made his first trip across the
Apache reservation and naturally
paid considerable attention to the
habits and customes of the Indians
and was sstonished to find that in
one particular the Indians are
ahead of the white race. He found
that the Apache women had been
in the habit of riding astrido for
hundreds of years while the civil
ned white woman has only been
riding that way very few years,

News from Constantinople on

has given in, but such conclusion
will be found to have strings at.
tached TO it. Nominally, Abdul
Hand has surrendered, but it is
fairly evident that he does not
propose to stay in that condition
ii he can lelp it. There are
ominous indications that ianat-
loal rising Of Islam is brewing,
and that he is preparing situa.
ton from which he can mako a
declaration of "non possamus" to
the powers. What would happen
if the Porte were to declare that
the sentiment of the Mohammedan
world would not tolerate the evac-
nation of Thessaly, and that the
Sultan must obey its mandate, is
more than one can guess. 1t is
evident however, that the Eastern
question is not at rest nor likely to
be fo, some time TO come.

DIR. H. A. Mclean, we'll known
Presbyterian clergyman of Boston
Mass, announces that if given the
necessary permit he will demon
strate to the most skeptical that
what Christ did can be done
again; that he will suffer himself to
be buried in coffin under three or
four feet of earth, and there he will
remain for 40 days without food or
water, and he specifically states
that there will be no tube or com.
munication with the open are, such
as has been used where persons
under hypnotic influence have
been entered.
II shall arrange, provided the
necessary permit is granted, for
the construction of a coffin under
my own direction, he said. There
will be apertures in the sides of
this coffin which will admit what
air may percolate through the
porous ground which / will select,
and wherein the grave will be
dug. -

REDUCING NsEs.

The published statement of the
county's fnancles for last quarter
shows the amount and for what
service rendered each demand is
presented. In the same line is also
shown what amount of each de-
mand was allowed, and also those
disallowed altogether. A COM
parison of the figures shows
that the board made a saving, on.
bills generally allowed heretofore,
of more than $1,000 in one quarter,
which will make a total saving in
a year of more than $4,000, and
we believe, that the board has just
got its hand in at cutting; we ex-
pect more next quarter. There is
one thing sure, that if any demand
| is presented that should not be
paid the board will disallow it.
| This is as it should be, for while
there is q threat of suit from one
demand owner who was cut IN two
wo know that the people will stand
by the board in cutting down IL
a legitimate bills. The board ha.
started right and we believe they
will continue. If they do, and Thu
same course is followed by theil

always be burdened with a heavy
debt. Had all preceding board

We wish to call lhe attention of
parents of the Stafford school dis
trict to the fact that our present
school house is inadequate to the
needs of our schools; that it is an
abomination which should bring
the blush of shame to. the cheek
of any one who is compelled to
point it out to strangers. There is
but one remedy and that is to build
a new house, sufficiently large to
accommodate all our children. We
have no money with which to
build unless we bond the district.
There need be no fear as to paying
off these bonds, for before they be-
come due our taxable property will
have thribbled, and even ifthe debt
is left for the children, who go to
school in the house, to pay, they
will thank their parents for having
made 1t possible for them to obtain
an education. On account. of the
correct forms not having been fol.
lowed exactly the former bonds
voted could not be sold. But
everything is now in readiness for
another election on the same ques-
ton tomorrow. The bonds are
practically sold as soon as they are
voted. We desire to urge every
man and woman in the district to
vote tomorrow, and it is to be
hoped that not one vote will be
recorded against it.

THE PopULIsT PARTY.

Or Mineral Wealth, the strong
est Populist paper ever published
in Arizona, quits that party in
the following language and for the
following reasons:
"Four years ago next month
Our Mineral Wealth threw off its
republican coat and donned the
populist garment. The cause for
this change was owing to the re.
publican attitude on the silver
question and their animoslty to-
wards the rights of the masses who
create the wealth. The democrat
ic party headed by Cleveland was
as much in the power of hood
lers as the republican party. The
|populist party was the only party
with clean record and a platform
that offered any redemption from
the old party rule of the rich man
who made honest, weak men knaves
by the use of their brides. All
now is changed. Parties are be.
ling broken IN pieces and the frag'
ments are arraying themselves on
either side for the second great
tbattle of the ballots. The populist
party IS no longer a free silver
party. Petty jealousy and spite
with the aid of Hanna money has
split it In twain, the ones who
Joined it from principle have left
lit and enrolled themselves under
the Bryan banner while the fellows
who joined 1T for revenue are 60

There is also an army of silver re-
publicans marching under the
Bryan flag 16 to /. The two great
armies that will confront each
lother for the battle of human
rights in 1900 will consist of Silver
democrats, silver republicans and
virtually the whole populist party
minus the traitors, Watson, Van
devort and others Of their STAMP
who will be with the enemy, or
one side and opposed to them viii
be the bankers, of all parties, thu
Jew money changer, the purchas
able commodity known as the work
ingman, the ignoramous whose
brain is too contracted to have
room for an idea and the rich
mans lackey who is satisfied will

A little doubt about which side will
be victorious. The country viii
be in such an impoverished con
dition, on q continued falling
market, by that time that the ere
ators of wealth must win or Civ,
up their all for future time to thos
who have filched them in the past
There is work for all of us to pre-
pare for this struggle. Each mar

THE WATER SUPPLY.

TEN years Ego it was thought
that all the land was then under
cultivation that water could posi-
bly, be supplied for from the ella
river, and that if this valley ever
became densley populated and
more land brought under cultiva,
ton it would be only by means of
artesian water. And at that time
comparatively little land was in
cultivation, aud that in a crude
state. Since then new bitches
have been made, old ones extended
and enlarged SO that to-day
thousands of acres of land yield
abundant harvests, which at that
date was a mesquite wilderness,
and there was more water during
this season per acre, supplied by
1.-THE river, than ever before.
The Gila river will supply suf:
ficient water to irrlgate every inch
of land around which canal can
be constructed. There is room
here yet for thousands of people
energetic enough to build canals
and till farms. Z
The successful cultivation of Q
great acreage does not depend sc
much upon large volume ofwatel
in the river as it does on its pro
per handling while utelizlng it on
the farm. IF the farm is perfectly
level it will not require more thar
half the water to mature a cror
that il will on uneven ground
Let our farmers turn their atten
ton to placing their farms in pro
per condition so that when thu
water is turned ON it will spread
over the grounds surface evenly
and the saving in water and Labor
will be wonderful, thereby great
ly reducing the cost of crop grow
ing. ....
i If economy in the use of waite
is studied by all, rather than ex
travagance, there is no earthl,
reason why this valley cannot be
come titled field from mountail
to mountain. Now is a good tim
to commence to study water econo
my for we will be forced to itsom
day, becau'e people are comm
this way all iihe time, looking 70
