are small farmers, yet when they ar

pay that is scarcely a living wage.
For the good of the immigrants, as
well as for helping solve the problem of
congested population-and also in the
interests of peace-it is to be hoped the
Italian will be led to return to agricul-
ture, and escape the evils of the pa
drone system. AS a writer in a recent
number of the ~Chautauquan we'll puts it:
The southern Italian, who is untamed,
will do well to raise fruit in the south
ern states, instead of congesting in a
mob at New Orleans"
Italians are very clannish, and
also passionately loyal to customs of
the home country. In any city where
they abound, their section is almost as
foreign, as characteristic, as would be a
bit of Italy itself, In spite of their quick
ness to avenge an insult, their readi-
ness with the dagger, they are a friendly
people, and in their poverty enjoy con

fact that there is an increasing number
of women and children coming over with

THE SERVICE PENSION BILL.
1T Proposes to Give Every Soldier
who Served Ninety Days in the
Civil War $12 Per Month.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The effort to
pension every surviving union soldier
of the civil war continues. Another
measure in that behalf has just been
introduced. 1t proposes to give $12
per month to every union soldier who
served 80 days in the civil war, but
not until he has reached 62 years of
age. Within three or four years this
age limit will have run, and let in the
last survivor. The pension is also for
go to the soldiers widow if they were
legally married prior to 1890. The
bill is said to meet the very general
approval of the old soldiers. The sol
diers of long service grumble because
those who served only 80 days are put
upon an equality with themselves.

Words and Ideas.

Definite words are necessary, says
Engineering Record, for the expression
of definite ideas. Hence scientific terms
have to be employed. A term has one
definite meaning which does not change
with time. The rush of affairs drifts
words from their original meanings, as
ships drag their anchors in a gale, but
terms sheltered from common use hold
to their mornings forever. The word
let, for example, has drifted in 200
years from meaning hinder until now
it means permit; but the term bisect
has remained unaltered in significance
for centuries.

COL. ZABRISKIE DEAD
One of the Foremost Citizens of
 Arizona Passes Away

Colonel James Albert Zabriskie died at Tucson. April 21, of com plication of diseases, after an ill- ness of several months.
 Col. Zabriskie was one of the pioneers of the territory. He was born in Hackensack, N. J.. in lS43. and is member of the we'll known Zabriskie family of New York He was appointed to the United States military at West Point in 1854. but two years later he resigned on ac- count of ill health. He was later graduated from Columbia college. He studied law with his father and the late Stephen J. Field, associate justice of the supreme court of the United States. He was admitted to the bar of California in 1861, and on the breaking out of the civil war he organized and fitted out at a personal expense of $3.OO0 com pany D, Eighth California infantry. He served on the staff of General Sheridan, and was mustered out at the close of the war with rank of lieutenant colonel
 He held various public positions and in 1878 he came to Tucson as an officer of the treasury depart ment and remained there, resign ing his office to enter the general practice of law. In 1881 President Arthur appointed him United States attorney for Arizona, and he held that office for four years. He assisted in the prosecution of the star route cases. His last public office was that of secretary of the board of university regents.
 Col. Zabriskie was an orator of prominence, and he was frequently called upon to stump the eastern states in presidential campaigns. He was an honorary member of the Metropolitan Museum of Arts of New York. His family is clearly traced back to John Sobieski. Col. Zabriskie leaves four sons and a ughter.-Republican.

Are Getting Worried.

Traffic officials of western rail roads are becoming alarmed over the agitation among cattle raisers for lower freight rates and the abo- lition of many of the restrictions placed around live stock shipments.
 At meeting of freight agents of western roads this week the princi- pal topic discussed was the call for a meeting in Denver in May of rep resentatives of all the associa tions of cattle raisers and dealers in live stock. The railway officials fear the live stock interests may be powerful enough to secure national legisla- tion as to the manner in which live stock traffic shall be handled by the railways. The consensus of opinion among officials attending the meet ing was that the railroads should immediately adopt measures to placate the live stock shippers with out making any reduction in rates. The first step probably will be a re turn to the custom of giving free return transportation to persons accompanying shipments of live stock. Although officially denied, certain railroads have been giving such transportation during the last month, contrary to the agreement of all the western roads.-Chicago Drovers' Journal.

Arizona Indians at Worlds Fair.

The latest addition to the mix ture of strange peoples at Worlds Fair is the band of 15O Moqui, Zuni and Pueblo cliff dwellers, which ar rived at St. Louis last Friday night, says the St. Louis Republic. The band is intended for the city of tiff dwellers on the Pike at the Worlds Fair.
 They are headed by their chief, Governor Ramos Archuleta, mem- Der of the San Juan tribe, and also their priest, Cisuke, besides a great number of the young men and maidens, and sages and seers of the tribes. They arrived Friday night at ' o'clock from Arizona and New Mexico and were taken imme- diately to their homes on the Pike.
 The most striking figure in the party is Archuleta, their hereditary governor. He is the proud pos sessor of cane given him in 1863 by President Lincoln and a silver medal presented to one of his an- cestors in 1887 by President Van Buren. The medal is an heirloom of the rulers of the tribe to which he belongs.
 One of the cherished possessions of the band is sacred American eagle, which was brought along with the party. The bird is an an cient one, probably antedating any member of the band. Other live stock are a quantity of rattlesnakes to be used in the Moqui snake dance to be given on the Pike. They have also many of their heather idols, curios and specimens of their basketry, pottery and bead and burnt leather work, with the material for making more. Many of the Indians are Christians.

Col. Wilbur, mining man of Northern Arizona, Jack Cuish and Robert Rosco returned from a thir- ty days prospecting trip into the Grand Canyon country, where it is stated they found great deposits of platinum ore The strata carrying the metal lies in horizontal strata in the sandstone cliffs and in places is fully six feet in thickness. A large amount of samples have been taken to San Francisco, and should it come up to expectation, work on a large scale will be begun on the property at once. The party found a great spring of mineral water boiling up out of the edge of the river. few miles east of Diamond Canyon. This spring they believe to have great medical properties, and should the mines be found rich in platinum, the same company will probably utilize the waters profitably-Mohave Miner.

Bad Accident on the Santa Fe.

A special train on the Santa Fe road carrying United States sol diers and light engine had head on collision about four miles west of Needles Sunday afternoon. Two soldiers. Eugene Coone and James N. Bowers. were killed and eighteen others were more or less injured. Of the injured many suffered broken arms and legs. Others were fortunate in that they suffered only cuts and bruises.
 The coroner held an inquest over the bodies of the dead soldiers. The jury returned a verdict that the collision was caused by the failure of the troop train to obey orders. The latter had been ordered to await on a siding the passing of the light engine.
