past few days, will return to Altar
 this week MT Shaw is looking after
 the affairs of Fl Plomo Mining Co.,,
 over which he has had charge the past
 year.
 Star: Mr. Miguel Latz, the leading
 merchant of Magdalena. is in the city.
 Mir. Latz placed his son in the univer-
 sity last year and will have him con-
 tinue this year. MT. Latz was for
 merly citizen of Tucson. He is
 much pleased with the university and
 it's superior advantages.
 Star: At Rosemont, while there
 are no saloons, mescal is smuggIed in over the line, causing an unseemly amount of hilarity among the Mexican population and no little annoyance to the company. It is said there are
 those who make regular business of
 bringing the stuff across the line
 without paying duty
 Star: When the S. r. monthly pay
 day comes around there are about
 s60,000 put in circulation in Tucson. There are the pay days of the Rose mont, the Helvetia, Azurite. San Na- vier, Nelson and Mammoth inning companies. The pay bills which average from 5000 to s20, ,0oO each and score of other mining companies all of which are added to Tucson's prosperity.
 Citizen: The University of Arizona never had a brighter outlook than now. There has been a few changes in the personnel of the faculty for the coming year, but so far as can be learned the new instructors have been carefully chosen with view single to the welfare of the institution The school of mines is department that will also share in greater efficiency than ever for the imparting of tech- 1ical education in mining. In no part of the United States is technical know wledge of mining likely to prove of greater value to it's possessor than tight here in the midst of such va Tiegated mineral deposits as abounds. As truly observed by the editor of the | Mining and Scientific Press: fin ished education is desirable n any | walk in life, but in no vocation is a good education more essential to the [ attainment of the highest success than in mining, but with this must be | coupled experience. Through the medium of study knowledge of the experience of others is gained; but in- diyidual experience, practical appli- cation of knowledge gained by study, is indispensable in the conduct of mining business
 Citizen: Dr. P. B. Purcell has re- turned from his trip to the Chrica- nua mountains whither he went last week on hunting expedition and a much needed rest. His party had just established camp and were ndulging in fond hopes of pleasant time when all was ruthlessly broken up by the receipt of message requiring the doctors immediate return to the bed side of his father, whose condition has become precarious as the result of the unfortunate accident which befell him short time ago while on a trip to the Sierrita mines. The many friends of the family were at irst encouraged to hope for the old speedy recovery, and they still entertain the ardent wish but grave fears have now entered into the situation.

Duty of a Newspaper.
Aug. 10. 1893.

From an exchange the following ap-
 propriave article is taken It bears a
 world of truth:
 Ut has been charged that country
 newspapers are boot-lickers on tue money side Of the question: that they are afraiH to condemn a wrong: that 1t is the duty of a newspaper to expose everything that is not exactly right aud proper. A man engages in the newspaper business to make a living like anyone else many other business. It Is not the duty of newspaper man to ferret out any mean or contemDti- ble act any more than it is the duty Of a citizen, The citizens of a com munity are responsible for tue inn morality of a town, for dishonest cleo tions, for the breaking of tue law: not tue newspaper. How many business meE are there in town who will con demn wrong-duer, when they know it will injure them? And that is what some people expect newspapers to do. The trouble is the so called bonora- ble people of a community haven't the moral courage to stand up for the right. A majority of them, if they endorse an article condemning the wickedness of some scion, will come around to the editor in private and tell him he has done right, yet when 1t comes to talking 1t on the street and elsew here their nerve fails them. and the editor is left to fight the bat tie alone. If you have any grievance to make do 1t publicly. If a newspa- per attempts reform that you know IS right and will result in benefit to the town, give him your support pub licly. Don't sit back and says a news paper man hasn't the courage to say what is wrong until you yourself can rise above the almighty dollar and take your stand for truth and honesty. It is the individual and not tue news paper that hasn't the moral courage. Newspapers reflect the wishes of the people, and are the result of existing ing conditions which must be changed. fl at all bv individual effort

much to them In Luzon there are many
signs that the natives are falling away
from Aguinaldo in numbers. Even in the
march northward along the line of the
Tasal leaders recent establishment the off,
cial reports show decidedly friendly atti-
tude on the part of the people toward the
advancing American forces. This speaks
well for the conduct of the troops and the
forbearance with which they approach the
non-comhatants who, earlier in the cam

The weather is steadily improving and
the progress ana the provisioning of the

more satisfactory. With the railroad in
full American control as assured now by
MacArthur's advance to Dagupan. it will

Representation in the Conventions

\ recent dispatch from Des Moines, Iowa,
contained this information:
Hon a b. Cummins Iowa member of
the republican national committee in an
Interview today regarding an effort to
change the basis Of representation in the
national convention, said he favored
change of representation according to votes
cast for republican presidential candidates.
and not according to representation in Con-
greSs. d present. He realized that this
would work a hardship To republicans pf
the south, who need encouragement. but
ne sees no reason why they should be able
to control more strength in the conventions
than their ratio Of votes would ordinarily
allow He said. however that it will be
difficult, if not impossible. TO effect the
chang" at this time. Governor Shaw ex-
pressed similar opinions.
This subject is not new. The views ex-
pressed by Mr.. Cummius and Governor
Shaw are heid by many prominent repub-
iicans. Fer some years there has been
growing feeling that a change Of some
Kind should be- made. 1t has seemed both
strange and unfair shat the lower southern

And yet such Is the case. In a close con-
test in national convention the two south

Of purchaser of such a dangerous remedy

1t is evident that no longer can carbolic
acid be classed among the strictly domestic
preparations. free for all uses. From every
large city i'll the country comes the COM
plant of insufficient care on the part of
the druggists in its sale. Something must

can be accomplished without seriously in
terfering with the rightful use of the chem

Inc two, however. it would be better to
lessen the danger of suicide than to guard
oVerzealously the convenience of the house

Doubtless no amount of law will ever
put stop to self-destruction. The human
mind will probably always continue to de-
veiop occasional tendencies toward suicide
and ii may be that the stopping up of one
loop hole after another will but sharpen
the ingenuity of those who want to end
their lives, But it may at least be sought
TO restrict the evil within limits by reduc-
ing the opportunities for children to kill
themselves. and by thus discouraging the

afflicted with melancholia. The matter
