A MOST FITTING SELECTION.


 In the selection of Captain L. w. Mix as one of the statehood com mittee from Arizona to proceed to Washington next winter and work for admission of the territory there has been given recognition to No gales that is no more than merited by the importance and consequence of the town and the energy and progressiveness ot her business men. The committee named, consist ing of w. c. Greene, L. w. Mix. E. B. Gage, John Brockman. John Lawler and w. J. Murphy, is a very strong one, and its personnel is in every way representative They are allsuccesstul business men who have made their marksas such in their own localities, and for that reason are widely known, and com mand a strong and abiding in fiuence. None of them politicians, and without political aspirations, they are widely known in the com mercial and financial world, and bear there a weight and influence that is felt and appreciated in any thing they undertake. Bending their energies to the cause of state hood they will accomplish more than any other six mer who could have been selected. And in the repre- sentative Nogales has presented upon that committee there is given that body of workers gentleman who will add thereto both weight and effectiveness, while the work of Captain Mix at Washington next winter will reflect credit upon Ari- zona and the town from which he halls, The people of Nogales are to be congratulated upon the prom thence thus accorded their town by the statehood convention, and that in its wisdom the choice of the convention fell upon a representa- tive so worthy. In this connection it is both appropriate and proper to remark that the present selection is the first recognition ever given Nogales by the territory at large that amounted to anything to the community. While purely honorary and without emolument the position accepted by Captain Mix IS one which can be turned to good ad- vantage to our town; and none can do so more wisely, more gracefully or more effectively than the gentle man named, who has been many years one of the foremost and pro- gressive citizens of the town, ever ready to devote his time and means to the public welfare.

OF THE six gentlemen selected to represent Arizona in Washing ton upon statehood next winter, Cochise and Santa Cruz counties secured four-Greene, Mix, Gage, and Brockman. That is a pretty good showing for two small coun- ties.

THE NAVAL COURT.

country had long suspected, that a
 lot of mediocrities in the naval ser
 vice had combined, to "sit down on"
 and hamper the men of real ability
 in the navy whose capacity would
 be sure to make them famous, if
 they were given chance. To that
 end Dewey was sidetracked by
 sending him to command the Asiatic squa dron. The thunder of his
 guns in Manila bay on that historic May day awoke them to the fact that Providence converts to her
 own ends the very means small men use to thwart her decrees. They" temporarily advanced Samp- son two grades, making him "act- ing rear admiral" and by virtue of his acting rank placed him in com- maud over his superiors in both
 rank and ability, Schley among them. Then, when Sampson turn
 ed his back, opportunity presente f and Schley won a great victory, to which Sampson immediately laid claim, and his claquers say the bat tie was fought upon plans laid down by Sampson The inquiry has demonstrated that the only plan presented the officers was done by Schley, before Sampson arrived at Santiago, and upon that plan Schley fought when battle was offered. And ever since the Samp- son ring have done all they could to belittle Schley and his merits until the gallant old sailor was i'll self defence compelled to ask for the court which is now clearing his reputation rom all asrersion and besmirching the reputAi ons of his contemners, many of whom are now smarting deeply from the hunil- iating admissions they have been compelled to make before the court,
 upon cross examination. Among
 these is swashbuckling Bob Evans,
 he who was going to make Spanish the only language spoken in hell
 for six months to come" After
 the Spanish fleet was sunk a care
 ful inspection of the wrecked war ships showed that thirty-four per cent of the effective shots had
 been delivered by the five inch guns of the Brooklyn, Commodore Schley's flagship, the only vessel in the American fleet with five inch guns. And as her eight inch guns were also fired 1t may be supposed that the Brooklyn did some exe- cution with them, and it is safe to say that she did fully forty per cent of the damage the Spanish het suffered, if not more. Yet Evans & Go. have always insisted that the Brooklyn ran away from the fight. And in the court the swashbuckler, Evans, was morti- fled to find that he was accused of having said that his ship had knocked the bow off the Pluton and the stern off from the Terror" The next day he made some sort of a lame explanation about "a letter written to a woman," The infer ence is that in this letter he had written this braggadocio, and the the letter had come to the knowl | edge of Admiral Schley's counsel. ! more of the naval ring have come out with their fine feathers much bedraggled; none mortified | more than poor Admiral Sampson whose entire career bears out the old saying: You cannot make a silk purse out of sow's ear" He came from the ditch, and he has ia len into hiOh esfafe fbe eat1i of q

Garlic is the latest cure for consump-
ton. DR.. Giulio Cavazzani, an italian
physician. has been experimenting in
the hospitals of Venice, and is convinc-
ed that garlic is most valuable the
rapeutic agent in cases of phthisis. 1t
has long been known to sailors who
have traded to the malarial coasts of
West Africa that garlic. used in liberal
quantities. was preventive Of coast
fever Garlic is a most powerful agent
for the cleansing of the aliuientary
canal, which may account for some of
it's medicinal virtues.
DR.. Cavazzani gave to his patients
garlic cut into small pieces and dried.
he had to administer it in fractional
doses in order to combat the distaste
which most of the patients had for the
vegetable. He treated over 200 pa
tients .givingto them, in addition to the
garlic. the ordinary symptomatic treat
ment.
He afIirms that an improvement took
place in eli cases, and was especially
marked in those which were in their
first stages. The bacilli gradually
grew less until they finally disappear
ed, the cough lessened, and the local
physical signs began to disappear.
There was marked improvement in
appetite and general condition. 1t is a
little early yet to pronounce upon the
doctors discovery but he has every
faith in it, and it is attracting the at
tention of the profession.

GREAT CENTER OF TRADE.

Buenos Ayres Is the Chicago of the
South American Continent.
The greatest city on the South Ameri-
can continent is Buenos Ayres The
population is believed to exceed $780,
600 1t was officially estimated to be
over $4,000 at the close of 1899 and
the increase is calculated to be close to
30,01G Il Year. Therefore, New York.
Chicago, and Philadelphia are the only
cities in the United States which sur
pass the Argentine metropolis in the
number of Inhabitants. There are only
about ten cities Inhabited by white
men in all the world which are bigger.
Size is not the only notable form of
development The revenue of the city
is about $S,0O0,000 Il year in gold. Its
streets and parks are lighted by more
than 1900 gas jets, over 5000 lamps
and about 1870 arc lights, the latter
of / 900 to 2.c)0 candle power apiece.
There are fifteen theaters or similar
places of public amusement and they
have about 1,GO0,0 spectators every
year. The street railways carry 116,
100000 passengers annually, which
means some S5,0O0,000 income.
1t is one of the most cosmopolitan
of all tile earths centers. Besides the
underlying and still dominant Spanish
element which Used to have the Argen-
tine in exclusive possession. there is

Poles. Russians. Swiss and other
nationalities are well represented in
