GLOBES URGENT NEED.

The steady advance of the mining industry in Globe district during the past year, and the attention which the district commands in the mining world, as one the greatest mineral regions of the Southwest is indeed gratifying. The development of Globe district IS the more remarkable when we consider its isolated position, so far removed from rail transportation, and having to compete with camps more favorably situated and enjoying the advantages of low freights and cheap supplies.
 The history of Globe district, its sur- viyal of the many yicissitudes which the mining industry has suffered during the past fifteen years, affords ample proof of its great mineral wealth. Nevertheless, careful considera- tion of the conditions existing here at present must convince even the most optimistic that there IS limit to the expansion of mining in this district and that limit has been almost reached.
 There is only one agency through which the restrictions to the further development of the mineral resources of Globe district can be removed and that is a railroad. The importance of rail communication with the centers of industrial life can scarcely be over estimated. For Globe it means quick ened and continued properity, the creation of new enterprises, and the building up of every interest in our midst. Happily the subject has re- gently attracted earnest consideration in railroad circles, and there is reason to hope that our wish will soon be realized.

THE SLANKARD CASE.

The case of the United States vs. John Standard, brought before Judge Rouse at SolomonviIle last week, is of so unusual nature and of such i'm portance as to merit greater attention than it has received from the press of the territory.
 Standard was arrested for cutting mesquite brush off the. desert near Maricopa station, and was indicted by the U. S. grand jury at Solomonville for larceny of government property. " Mesquite brush is not chased as tim Der, so that the defendent could not be charged with ''cutting timber on government land," and there appears to be no statute under which Slankard could be legally indicted, but through the hocus-pocus of the law that pur- pose was accomplished.
 Slankard is deputy marshal, and as he attempted no defense against what appears to be & very himsy charge, but plead guilty and paid a fine, the idea is suggested that it might have been trumped.up charge to se- cure a decision that would establish a precedent.
 The effect of the decision, if sus- tained, will be to stop the cutting of brush and small wood for domestic purposes on all lands in the territories, save from those of strictly mineral character, except for individual use. The law permits the cutting of timber on government land for individual use without respect to the character of the land, whether mineral or non mineral, but prohibits the cutting of timber for sale from mineral land. Under the recent judgment of the court at SolomonYille not even small brush can be removed from the public domain for sale. As very few of us can go out and cut our own wood, but must de- pend upon the vender for supply of fuel, the decision of the federal court imposes q virtual prohibition against removing growing wood of any kind from government land except mineral land
 To enforce such a ruling would in- fict great injury upon the people of courts, or the government for that matter, will sustain this outrageous in- terpret ation of the law. Globe would not be much affected thereby, as nearly all the land in this vicinity from which wood is cut is of mineral character, but to many portions of the territory it would mean serious inconvenience and loss.
 The act of June 8, 1878, (20 stat. 8S) authorizes the taking of timber, for mining and domestic purposes, from public lands in Arizona known to be of strictly mineral character. Parties who take timber from public lands under assumed authority of the act of June 3, 1878. do so at their own risk. The burden of proof is on such par ties, of proving by preponderance of evidence that the land from which timber is taken is mineral within the

Haunted!

Tee human tenement Is often haunted-to the grievous discomfort of its possessor-by those malignant spirits constipation and bil- iounness But the abominable pair may be speedily driven out with the potent help Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters This genial alternative, while it relieves the bowels and regulates the liver, never, as drastic pur- gative does, produces violent effects and weakens the intentines. On the contrary, the action Of the Bitters k precisely analogous to an effort of nature seeking to resume her proper functions. This furnishes pretty con elusive evidence that 1t Is better 10 use per slasive means, so to speak, than to endeayor to coerce nature to a return to duty. Violent remedies produce only temporary effect, followed by hurtful reaction. For inaiges- tion, malarial and kidney complaints, rheuma- tism and nervousness the Btters takes highest rank among remedies of the philosophic school

By act of the last congress, ap- proved March 2, the rights of aliens to hold land in the territories are ex- tended and more clearly defined. The law is of especial importance to the mining industry, as so much foreign capital is now seeking investment in mines in this country. The law is amendatory of the act of March 3, 1887. Section ? provides that, "This act shall not be construed to prevent any persons not citizens of the United States from acquiring or holding lots or parcels of land in any incorporated or plated city, town or village, or in any mine or mining claim in any of the territories of the United States.

It appears that the normal school managers, as we'll as the university re- gents, will anticipate the repletion of the fund for that institution through the tax levy authorized by the Nine teenth legislature, as the Phoenix Re- publican announces that contracts for finishing the normal school building have been let. The amount of these contracts together with the finishing of the second floor is S22, 500, which the Republican says is exclusive of the cost of the walls and roof of the build ing. The action of the officials having control of these so-called educational institutions is premature, as they may discover, when Gila and several other counties which have knowledge of the illegality of the appropriations made by the legislature refuse to make the levies. Gila county did not pay the taxes authorized for these institutions last year, and no demand was made upon our board of supervisors for their payment. as the territorial officials are we'll aware that these taxes cannot be collected.

south DakOta's SiIverite Attacked
with Paralysis of the Vocal Chord
While Speaking ExcitedIy.
HIS CONDITION NOT SERIOUS
WALKED TO HIS CARRIAGE, But
WAS UNABLE TO SPEAK PLAINLY.
Early Adjournment Taken in COnse-
quence of the Incident-Spirited
Debate on the Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-An abrupt and
startling halt in the tariff debate occurred
in the Senate at 2:30 o'clock to-day when,
IN the midst of a passionate, speech. Sem
ator Pettigrew. silver Republican, of South
Dakota, was stricken with paralysis of the
vocal chord, which brought his vehement
speech to a close with a sentence half ut
tered. The Senator was not physically in
capacitated, except in the sudden loss of
the power of speech. Although he
took his seat unaided his asso-
eiates felt that grave possibilities
were involved in such an attack Wa
ter was brought to him and his friends
gathered about. He appeared to revive
quickly, and went into the cloakroom,
where Senator Deboe, who is a physician.
made an examination. He pronounced Sen
ator Pettgrew's case as quite serious He
said 1t might be a hemorrhage of the brain
though nothing definite could be said. A
physician was sent for to attend the sena-
tor. He could speak only with difficulty,
though in reply to questions he said he
was not feeling badly. DR.. Bane who was
summoned said his illness was caused by
a blood clot on the brain, but that there
would be no serious results if he should
be kept free from excitement.
Senator Pettgrew was soon moved to his
home at 1850 Q street, northwest, accom-
panied by DR.. Baine, Senator Mantle and
Sergeant-at-arns Bright He walked to
the carriage at a sprightly gait and with
out assistance He said he was in no pain,
but talked with great difficulty and very
indistinctly. The doctor said there was no
immediate danger, though he pronounced
the attack to be in the nature of a slight
stroke of apoplexy, causing facial paraly-
sis. The incident caused quite a sensation
in the Senate, and led to an unusually
early adjournment
This evening Mr.. Pettigrew chatted
pleasantly with his family and a few
friends who called at his home. He was
still a little weak from the effect of the
attack, but was greatly improved and said
he felt quite we'll. There was no fever or
any unpleasant symptoms growing out of
the attack, and he wanted his friends as
sured that he was not in a serious condi-
ton.

GOMEZ'S HORSE SHOT,
And the Cuban Leader Reported to
Have Been wounded.

HAVANA, June 26.-Rumors have been
afloat here since yesterday morning, prob
ably emanating from official circles, that
General Maxine Gomez, the insurgent COM
mander-in-chef, has been Killed in a fight
near the military line in the Province of
Puerto Principe. This afternoon the re-
ports were modified to the statement that
he has been seriously wounded, but nobody
outside of official circles believes this re-
port to be true. La tLueha publishes a dis
patch from Tunas stating that in the last
engagement between the Spanish forces
and the insurgents under General Maxine
Gomez, the horse ridden by Gomez was
shot under him. According to official ad-
vices a number of insurgents who have sur
rendered to the authorities at Placetas as
sert positively that in the same engagement
in which General Gomez's horse was killed
the insurgent leader himself was wounded
Official reports say that no engagements of
Importance have taken place recently.
"A passenger train bound from Havana to
Matanzas has been dynam1ted by insur-
gents between San Miguel and Campo
Florido. The locomotive was thrown from
the track and capsized, and two cars were
derailed. The engineers and firemen were
injured. A band of insurgents to-day en-
