if it is possible for any democrat to

ARIZONA'S GROWTH.

Arizona has more than doubled it's
pulation in the past decade. The
census # this year gives the Territory
l22 2lc inhabitants, against SO 62O
in 1890. VIII, II the census of 1890
was taken the Indians on the reserva--
tions were Lot enumerated as inhabi-
tants. There were 28,4o9 aboriginal
wards on these reservations; there are
only 3,O55 now. The majority Of the
Apaches have during the past decade
been tranferred to Florida and Ir dian
I. rrtory in the interest of peace
The policy has borne good frnir, Ari-
zona has in consequence, filled up
with settl"ls. Life and property are
now a. secure there as anywhere in
the country.
The wonderful growth of popula-
tion is however, on'y one of the
grounds on which Arizona will stab
lish its rights to he admitted by con-
gress to statehood. A large amount
of capital has been invested there of
late years in mining properties. The
territory is one of the most attractive
mining fields for capital on the Pacific
coast. The climate and geological
formations are specially favorable to
the industry In undeveloprd mineral
wealth Arizona stands peerless in the
west. Gold, silver and copper are the
leading mineral products. AS cop
per producer it will in few yeaIs
outra.k every other section of the
country. Although many of the cop
per properties there are still under
going development, they are listed
among the biggest dividend paying
mines in the United States.
Coinci dent with all this mining de-
velopn-nt is a gradual unfolding of
agricul ura resources, of which the
territory was not considt red few
years ago to be possessed. Experience
is proving that there are iurge areas
of land in Arizona which can be'made
highly productive ander proper
system of tillage. These arabic lands
are contributing largel, toward the
suppor of 'he present population, and
it is not unreasonable to assume that
in time the Territory will be self sup
porting in the matter of g,air, iruits
and live stock. The development of
mineral wealth is giving encourage
ment to agriculture and introducing
artihc ally el+ments which are essen
tial to the latter's success, but which
ma 'ore has scantily proyided,-s. +

FEDERAL REcOGNITION.

Several of the Arizona newspapers
suggest the name of N. A. Morford
for federal recognition. He would
make an excellent postmaster, auditor,
or in fact is we'll qualified for COVER
nor His long service to his party
should demand recognition. The Re-
publicans, like the Democrats of Ari
zona, have done little for the veterans
of fhe p, ess. Now that these posi-
tions are to be flled by republicans
until statehood is secure d, the faithful
should receive recognition Enter

The CARNIVAL.

Tuesday, says the Gazette, was
busy day at carnival headquarters.

ing in the afternoon heard reports

A NEW RIFLE.

Lieut. Colonel Lemchen, Of the
Swedish army, and director of the
shooting school at Rosenberg in
Sweden, has Invented new rife. It's
most Distinguishing feature is the
automatic placing of the cartridge in
the firing chamber. The small arm is
similar in every respect to the Malser
and carries the same cartridge. The
soldier when using the rifle fills the
magazine with the cartridge and dres.
Directly the rife has been discharged
instead of the soldier having to with
draw the empty cartridge to place the
next cartridge in position by sudden
movement of the breech, it is done
automatically. By this means the
soldier has nothing 20 do but continue
discharging his rife until he has
emptied the magazine. The rifle is
extremely simple, both in design and
operation, and what is more i.npor-
t,nt, the shock of r. coil is reduced to
minimum, sihcs his shock is util-
iz-d to place the next cartridge in the
firing chamber. Scientific American

Consul Covert, at Lyons, sends to
the state department an interesting re-
port on an effort being made in that
section OF France to dissipate hail
storms by firing cannon at the clouds.
Fifty-two cannon, manned by 104 can
noneers, have been distributed over
$500 acres of rich vine land. For the
expense Of the experiment the govern
ment Of France appropriated 1886, the
departmental council $3.50. the Nation
al French Agricultural Society S2,316,
and number OF wealthy wine produc-
ers added fourteen more cannon. A
high point in the vine land to be COW
cred by the experiments was selected
as a central post of observation and a
signal code was adopted. When
shot is heard from the central post all
the cannon are fired, at first twice per
minute and then more slowly after
the first ten shots. These experiments
have proved so satisfactory that or.
ganized forces will be established in
places heretofore ravaged by hail, and
they will lombard the clouds when
ever they get angry. The wine grow
ers are organizing to attack the hail
storms in many Of the great vine
lands of France. 1t is said that the
practice of shooting at the clouds was
known in France over hundred years
ago and that IT originated in Italy. 1t
Is to be more extensively carried on
this year than ever. before.

The Upton Corner In Pork.

Recently barrel pork in Chicago ex-
perienced a sharp rise, going up to SIC
per barrel. 1t was charged that Sir
Thomas Upton had cornered the mar
ket by buying up $4,000 barrels. On
this point, Sir Thomas In an inter
view, says:
1.-THE pork I now hold | purchased
for purely legitimate trade purposes. l
need it in my business and propose to
sell 1t to my regular customers. ! do
not believe in corners, and II thought
that the advantage l now hold In the
pork market would work any hard
slip to American people or would in any
way compromise my reputation as a
straight man OF business would throw
up the whole deal. Not pound Of the
pork that / hare bought In Chicago is
to be used for speculative purposes. As
/ said before. it will all go into the reg
ular channels Of trade. The people
who are raising all the cry brought
the situation on themselves; they are
spectators and am not, and ! sec no
reason why 1 should let them have
what pork / own and need in my regu-
lgr business to pull them out Of hole.
II the American consumer is to suf-
fer, that is another matter, but SO far
as am advised it is the spectators
alone who are concerned, and | have
no sympathy with them"
The Upton interview has been ac-
cepted as fair statement by nearly all
the dealers in the provision pit.

Horticultural Observations.

As to the necessity for forest preser-
walton, we may learn a lesson from
some of the older countries in the
world. notably India. Not because In
dia has protected her forests, but be-
cause she has not. The English au-
thorities In India have been trying for
many years to protect and conserve
the forests OF that country, but with
only partial success. Some areas have
been set aside as public forests. and
these are supposed to be under the pro-
lection of the government, but the
short-sighted policies of the native
populations make 1t extremely difficult
to enforce laws relative to the saving
OF the forests. In spite of the watch
fulness OF the officials, the natives set
nre to the forests. generally for one of
two reasons. The first is to scare out
the game; and 1t often happens that
for game worth a few dollars to in
diVidual hunters forest trees worth
thousands OF dollars are burned up
The second cause for incendiarism Is
the desire Of native farmers to get
early and good pasture for their farm
stock. In one province last year So.
600 acres were burned over. To show
the dihiculty OF stopping this ineen-
darism by punishment 1t is narrated
that one man that had set fire to q
forest and burned up 1900 acres of
valuable trees was fiued ten rupees
-s207. according to the present value
OF the rupee. Some of the natives SET
fire to large bodies OF trees for the
