The meeting of the citizens held at the court house last evening to discuss the proposition for the building of a railroad through Tucson was @ great success. The meeting organized by choosing Mayor 0. F. Schumacher as
 it's chairman and E. II Trippell as it's secretary. MT. Cooke of Boston, who is here in the interests of the Amer ican- Mexican railroad company, made a clear statement of the roposition and said that it was expected that the citizens of Tucson would raise the sum of $20,000 Judge Barnes, Colonel Bridger General Manning, J. w. Ormsby, and other gentlemen subse- quently addressed the meeting.
 Judge Barnes, L. H. Manning, the Arizona National Bank, and Mayor Schumacher each subscribed for fifty shares of stock at S20 per share, the price at which the same is now held by the company but which is of par value of Sl00 per share.
 On motion a committee of seven was appointed to visit the business con- munity for the purpose of securing subscriptions for the balance of the necessary S20,00Q. It is said that the entire amount will be taken up by Monday evening. Judge W. H. Barnes, M. P. Freeman, R. NJ. Jacobs, L. H. Manning, A Steinfeld, L. B. Worthen and N A.

To Build New Road.

A dispatch from Durango, Colorado, says:
 ''Gt is understood that Durango promoters are assured of securing capital for the construction of broad gauge railway from Durango south to connect with the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific systems, and the construction may begin this year. The object of building such a road is to secure the coal markets of the copper camps in Arizona, which are consum- ing annually 25O,OOO tons of coal at a cost of SIG per ton.
 "Crossing q country 13O miles in extent, north and south, the proposed road will pass through the coal fields of New Mexico in San Juan, Rio Arriba and Mckinley counties, and will bring into better touch with tue balance of the world some excellent agricultural sections on either side of the San Juan rIver."

side of life. Instead of tilling the soil they go
into railway service into the police and the
army into the mines; they become por-
ters cOachmcn, fOOtmen gardeners on private
estates Often local causes aid in the exodus
Railway extensions sewer building harbor inn
provements embanknents and the like may be
under way All these require labor, and pay
the Iaborer more than he could ever hope to
obtain from farm work. Mr.. Haggard recog-
nizes this but insists that means must be de-
yised to enable the farmer to give his men bet
ter wages and at the same ii make living
profit himself Needless to say. this committee
of one received some curious suggestions as TO
the best way to keep the young Englander on
the farms. Mr.. Haggard found many husband
men bitter in their denunciatOn of the COM
pulsory education system. to which they at
tributed the flight to the cities. Education, he
was Informed, by keeping boys at school until
they were thirteen years of age, together with
the reading of newspapers. had a tendency to
make them discontinued with the country. One
Herefordshire farmer went so far to advo-
cate the passage of an act to abolish educa-
ton. While not yenturing to support any such
extreme view, find Mr.. Haggard indUlging
in many filings at England's boosted system of
education" He incidentally pays the United
States a neat compliment in a passage dealing
with educational reform for the farmer. wherein
he points out that the scientific instruction in
agricultural methods, common in this coun-
try, is almost unknown in the rural districts
of England.
Scarcity of labor is. however. but one of the
many grievances of the English farmer. Mr..
Haggard traces several causes contributOry to
the agricultural dry rot OF especial impor-
lance is the transportation question. We are in
formed, for example. that it costs but fourpence
more bushel to ship grain from New-York to
London than to ship it from Glare to London a
distance of only fifty-six miles. Add to this the
free trade policy of Great Britain and one can
readily see that the British producer is forced
to fight the world in the market which he deems
peculiarly his OWE. Naturally. Mr. Haggard
assailed, in every country he visited with a
demand for protective policy. That il is IN
likely that this demand will be needed by the
powers that be is shown by the author writing
in his most graphic vein:

summed up by the word-appailinS Eng
lshmen for some time had had dim reailza'tioh
of the fact that their husbandry was falling INTO

generating into the wastes from when they hdu
been reclaimed and that the sturdy yeomen OF
England were disappearing But they had not.
since Sir James Card. fifty years ago, puoiiSneu
his English Agriculture had the matter set
fairly and squarely before them. In Mr. Hag-
gard the farmer of England has found re-
doubtabIe champion, who will not be content
with an eyasive reply to the cry for reforms
Back to the land thunders the man from Nor
foIk-back to the villages wherein the might Oh
England lies; back. before it be too late!
Mr.. Haggard's method will go far to carry
conviction to the minds of his readers He
records not only his personal Observation Dul
interviews with all manner of men having one
thing or another to do with the land lie mas
watched the farmer at his daily task; he has
been the guest of titled landowners; ne mas
visited the poorest of tofers in their crumollng
cottages. He has witnessed many a curious or
pathetic scene From landlord and laborer
alike he has heard appeal for help. 1t is
all very wretched very pitiable. England must
indeed be in a sorry plight if there be no remedy
for the abuses Mr.. Haggard depicts with the
pen of which he is a master. OF course, the
picture is not all shadow; but the brightest
spots in it seem to be found outside the tight
little isle, in Jersey and Guernsey. These Chan
mel islands are a constant joy to Mr. Haggard,
and especially pleasing, since in them he finds
the conditions upon which he believes rural
prosperity in large measure depends-small
land holdings and land laws preventing the
aggregation of large estates. Here, too, he
finds the energy and enterprise so sadly lacking
among the farmers of England.
1t might be inferred that the records COM
piled in these volumes make but prosy reading.
