ARIZONA contains 5l, 734 600 acres of Government land open to settlement, besides several large settlements. Only about 5,6S5,0O0 acres have passed out of the hands of the Government. The irrigation engineer of the experiment station has estimated that more than 6,00o,000 acres can be irrigated in the fertile valleys of the Gila and the Salt rivers alone through the construction of storage reservoirs and the conserva- tion of the waters Of those rivers which now run to waste.

IN the last year of the Wilson law, says the Globe-Democrat, imporvations of wool were 350, ,S52, ,026 pounds, valued at $53, ,43, lgl, and American sheep could hardly be given away. Last year the importations of wool were only 16,736, 209 pounds, valued Ut Ss,- 233,s The change that has come over the home values Of sheep and wool is instructive to the sheep raisers and farmers of America.

THE Southern Pacific railroad has created the new office of travelling con ductor. The Yuma Sun says that the travelling conductor seems to have nothing to do but travel around, look wise and conduct himself in Il gentle manly manner, The position ought to be an agreeable one, as good salary is attached to it.

There is no absolute necessity for
increasing the appropriation for h
white blind, and negro deaf, dumb and
blind institutions at Raleigh, on the
deaf and dumb school at Morganton.
OF course every additional dollar will
be honestly expended and if the Treas
ury o. the state were full, the appro-
priations might be made, but with the
conditions as they exist We do not hes
itate to say that the house erred in
giving the increase to both these insti-
tutions that it voted Thursday and yes
terday. We do not believe the house
fully understood hat it was giving
$4,000, or more, additional to the Raj
eigh institutions, and $17, 500 additional
to the Morganton institution, for the
next two years. We cannot believe
that the careful consideration
"a given to these items that ought to
be given before final action is taken
Raleigh News and Observer.
1t is very apparent that under this
exemption clause that every train in
North Carolina may become either a
freight train, a mixed train, a
through express vestibule or a limited
train, and it seems to us hat if this
bill passes it had as we'll say that this
bill, except Section 4,shaH be null and
void on and after it's passage. The
democratic platform demands separate
accommodations for whites and
blacks and every democrat in the legis-
lature should abide by the platform
and the promises made to the people.
If there are any who will not do this

out squarely and say so and give their
reasons therefor. A bill that is a mere
makeshift and not worth the paper it
is written upon will not throw sand in
the eyes of the people and will not re-
deem the pledges of the legislators
Winston Sentinel.
We want to say to the legislators in
Raleigh that there is much dissatis-
faction on the part of the white people
at the delay in passing a separate car
bill Several bills separating the races
in railroad cars nave been introduced,
and a committee was appointed to ex-
anime all the bills and draft the best
one possible. This committee seems to
have some trouble in giving the peo-
pie what they want. Ii there is one
thing for which there is a universal
demand it is a separate car law, and
if there is any monkey business about
this matter the people will be heard
from. 1t now seems probable that a
law will be passed which will not be
worth anything, in that it excerpts
Pullman cars, vestibule and express
trains, freight trains, and well nigh
all other trains Such a law will not
be satisfactory to the democratic voters
of the state, and the legislature will be
false TO the people il it passes it

h Fayetteville Observer of the 9th
instant truly says:
THE new officers of the Atlantic ard
Yadkin railroad are exactly as forS-
casted in the Observer on Monday.
They were elected in Baltimore yester-
day. The change in the management
of the o will take place at midnight
next Tuesday, February 18th, it may
be some weeks, however, before the ac-
tual ransfe takes place.
LAS the transfe is now about to take
place, the Observer desires to express
it's belief that no company has ever
been more Loyalty and efficiently served
than the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley
railway has been by the body of de-
partment heads who now go out.
| These are Messrs. j. w. Fry, general
manager; H. L. Fry, chief engineer;
w. E.. Kyle, general freight and pas
| senger agent; r. w. Bidgood, auditor;
G.. E. Ijams, treasurer; R. w. Fischer,
| assistant treasurer; G. w. Lake, agent
at Fayetteville; T. B. Gwatkins. store
keeper; Isaac w. Clark, master me-
chanic; r. H. \Ledbetter. master Of
carpenter department. All these de-
partment heads have assistants, who
constitute ar admirable body of young
men, sober, Industrious and competent"
The Observer pays a just tribute to
the officers of the Cape Fear and Yad-
kin Valley railway. They are gentle
men of high character and efficiency
and this continent might be raked over
without finding their superiors as rail-
readers and men of character and in
tegrity, deserving and having the con-
fidence of every man who ever came
in contact with them. There vas never
a railroad in America that had a more
courteous or just set of officials, and
The Messenger knows whereof it
speaks. What is said of the general
officers can also be aid of our esteem
ed townsman, Capt. T. G. James, the
Wilmington agent, whO is as high
minded, clever, efficient INC faithful an
attache as ever served in such a re-

quired, it being necessary to send only
reports of the amounts received.
The secretary said that a mystery
in Cuba was the whereabouts of the
Cuban men. The United States off,
GERS who had gone into the interior
had failed to find them. "Of course"
said he, "the r~econcentrados were
largely driven into the large cities, but
we cannot find anywhere near the
numbers Of men We expected to find.
For instance, an officer from Sancti
Spiritus who came back to Washing
ton last week told us that that town
was filled with women and children
but no men. They are not in the coun-
try districts as far as we can find.
The Cuban army is estimated at 10000
men, but this does not account for the
thousands who are not to be found.
They are not with Gomez and 1t is yet
to be learned where they disappeared

Aaron Clarity, newsboy, was buried
by the Evening World yesterday morn
ing in a private plot in Mount Olivet
cemetery, at Maspeth, L. /. He was a
negro, born nineteen ears ago in Will
mington, y. G.. He had been a ledger

icknamed him The Slave because he
used to tell them tales of slavery he
had heard from his grandfather. The
boys liked him.
Aaron died of pneumonia three days
ago. His last hours were haunted by
the dread tina he would be buried in
Potter's Field.
THE Evening World secured the ser
vices of an undertaken. The funeral was
held on Tuesday evening in the Audi

House, No. 9 Duane street. The Rev.

Captain John T. Harper reported
yesterday afternoon that coming up on
the river the wind was terrific.
AT Wrightsville and Southport the
snow was as heavy as in wilmington.
Also at the two beaches.
Reports from all around show a ter
rible snow storm and intense cold. AT
Richmond yesterday afternoon at
o'clock the snow was from eighteen
inches to two feet deep, and the storm
showed no signs of abatement, but on
the contrary gave every indication of
increasing in fury.
From Weldon last night came the
following special telegram to The Mes
hi
THE snow is eighteen inches on a
level All trains are tied UP. Two en-
gines were damaged this morning try
ing to move a freight train. This is the
worst storm since 1857. An engine and

Bollin, and some of the cattle reported
dying. N passenger trains have arriv-

Catarrh.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
to get rid of.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays. washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
cific cures Catarrh permanently, foritis
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.
