The pcoplo who come to Phoenix
express themselves ns much surprised
itt our thrift and advancement, ami so
far wo tnnko n pood impression on the
strangers tliat conio within ourgntee.
But nil that is necessary has not yet
been done, and at very littlo cost im
provements can bo ruaire'that will im
prove tho nppuaranco of tho city very
much. Not only its npponrnnco will be
beautified but much will bo added to
the convenience and comfort of our
homo people and visitors. Wo have no
walks as a matter of fact we do not
need any now but the time haB been
and will beiii;uin, that wo need them.
Last winter and spring duritn: the
rainy season thoro was not u decent
crossing in tlie city, and tho only walks
thnt would to any exten protect one
against the rami woro up and down
Washington street. No ono could come
to liia business from any of tho resi
dence portions of the city without mir
ing down, nnd for weeks it wai impos
sible for a lady to go out on foot. Peo
ple from a distanco remarked about
this, and said that while Phoenix peo
ple had remarkable enterprise in some
respects they hud very littlo in the
matter of improving tho streets. Thie
improvement of walks and cross
ings will cost mora than all the other
necessary improvements, but at the
BOtne time no city ever lost a cent by
by investing in such a way, nnd The
Kurum.icAN hopes that this will be
provided for before the ralnB begin
again.
Another thing thnt wo need right
now and tihouid be attended to at once
ia the extension of tho street sprinkling.
This is now confined to n small portion
of Washington nnd Center streets nnd
the ground covered is altogether inad
equate for the comfort of tho people.
iho streets up and down Washing
ton for four blocks from tho city hall,
nnd two blocks on either side should be
sprinkled every day. If this was done
regularly wo would not experience the
unpleasantness of tho dust wo had last
fall and winter. Then the sprikling
was not begun till the dust was three or
four inches deep-, and it was almost im
possible to get water enough on it to
make tho streets firm and hard as they
would have been had the work been
done sooner, nnd in the latter cano it
would take less water to do the cntlro
season than tho amount neceseary to
put tho neglected streets in good or
even medium condition. It might bo
woll to look into tho relativo costs nnd
conveniences of this matter nnd ndopt
the best and cheapest plan for comfort.
Phienix has two boautiful plazas and
it would enhance their appearance
very much if nents wero put around
their borders nnd along tho wnlks, so
that if ono bo wished lie could go and
spend it pleasant hour. Most people
work during tho day and they do not
feol liko stnnding during tho rest of the
ovenine, Pluunix is excellont ns n

such. When pooplo come hero they ex

thoy can entertain tliemschvs at least,
nnJ they have a right to. Th 19 would

not ha doing anything inoro than nil
other cities of oven less population do.
It woull only coat n reasonable
amount to get ono of tho Pluunix binds
to play on tho pln7.11 throe nights out o!
tho week, nnd it would, during the
warm mouths bo n pleasant plaeo to
cpend tho livening.
This amount could easily bo made up
by private subscription for Phienix citi
zens, ns n rule, wish to Bee the city
prosper. They only want tho matter
sl.irled and put beforo them in a proper
light, when wo venture to say that the
public spirit of our people will show it-h-H
Mipurior to that of any cltv in the
territory.

One of the most eiuvcssfiil experi
ments in motion: times in reclaiming
desert wastes is that which has -been
mado by tho French in Algeria. The
area of that provinco is about 330,000
square miles. Nearly one-half of this is
included within tho limits of tho great
Desert of Sahara. Much of this waste
land is below tho level of the sea. Tho
French agriculturists havo undertaken
to reclaim the desert. They began by
boring wells nt first as experiments. It
was found that wnlor could be obtained
at doptli8 ranging from 100 to -100 feet.
Whorover wnter could bo brought to
tho surfneo of tho land great fertility
was tho result. At the last accounts
thero wero no less than 13,000 wells in
operation. 15y this means 12,000.000
acres hnve been redeemed, nnd tho
work still goes on. Tho water is col
lected in reservoirs, and is conducted to
tho various plantations.
On what was formerly iv sandy waste
thoro aro now l'JO.OOO acres planted with
vines. Besides reclamation by menus
of nrtosian wGllg there nro eoino living
streams thot hnvo been utilized, so that
Algeria has 17.000,000 acres under irri
gation, on which not only mo all the
cereals produced, but grapes, olives,
dates and tobacco nro all leading crops.
In addition to annual crops, not less
that 6,000,000 acres havo been planted
with forest trees'. Where forests are
planted nnd thrive, thero cnu bo no
desert. This system of agriculture, it
is expected, will bo extended until a
greater part of tho 150,000 equaro miles
formerly classed ns desert, will havo
been turned into fruitful fields.
Years ago thoro were many specula
tions ns to tho feasibility of Hooding tho
Desert of Sahara ond creating thero a
great inland Een. Hut the French ag
riculturists have found better uso for so
much of it as is under their control. A
few years ago Cardinal Lavigera pro
posed a plan for making conquests in
the Desort of Sahara outsido of Algeria.
Stations wero to bo established at suit
able points where water could bo found.
Tho desert was to bo reclaimed in spots.
Having created fruitful fields nnd or
chards in ono place, a colony was to bo
sent forward to found another station.
In this way a chain of ngrirulturn
posts was to bo extended across the
desert. These would have a religious
character. But tho agricultjral system
would do much to break up the slave
caravans and bring tho whole country
into n condition to support a large civi
lized population. Very littlo is heard,
of late years, about this experiment.
Tho establishment of a singlo station
might require years, nnd would at first
attract littlo attention. Hut nlrendy
tho greatest agricultural triumph of the
ago is foreshadowed in the prospective
reclamation of tho vast part of tho
desort which is within tho dominion of
Algiers.
Tito experiments which havo been
prosecuted on tho desort lunds of this
country nro not unlike those already
noted. Water has turned BOino nrid
wasteB into fruitful fields. On tho Colo
rado Desert tho progress has been slow.
Rut water has been brought to tho sur
face from various depths by boring, and
extraordinary fertility has followed.
Dates, olives, grapes, melons and every
fruit known in semi-tropical climates,
take kindly to tho soil. Tho few suc
cessful experiments go far to sustain the
theory that by tho uo of water thero
will yet be thousands of gardens nnd
fruitful fields whero thero is now only
aridity and barrenness. Agriculture
has already established the fact that
with sufficient water nearly all desert
lauds can bo restored to fertility.

When Horace Greeley was in his
prime ho was counted among tho popu
lar lecturers of his time. Ho was the
very least of orators, but tho people
weto nttrncted by the meat and pith of
his practical, common-sense, terse say
ings. His pet lecture was on "Self
made and School-made Men;" and in
the treatment of this subject ho de
lighted to contrast such characters as
Daniel Boone and Kdward Everett,
leaving the hearer to discover tho deli
cnto intimation that tho lecturer him
self was a triumphant example of auto
matic construction.
After having exalted the self-made
above the school-mado man, it was
something of n joke on Greeley that, in
selecting Whitelaw Keid to become tho
head of tho great metropolitan news
paper tin had established, ho should
havo bestowed a deserving responsibil
ity oil ono who was both school-made
and self-inndo. The fact is tho school
enabled Whitelaw Keid to make him
self, so that he was the embodiment of
both tho elements which Greeley hnd
set in-opposition. Ho was early thrown
upon his own resources, and it was self
reliance united to great energy and pluck
that carried him through the Miami
university, n small institution in
southern Ohio, which'haB given to tho
country many prominent men, among
whom nro Professor Swing and Presi
dent Harrison. Equipped with 11 fair
ruiiiiuoulary education, Keid went
ntraight forth to carvo his own career.
Under 2J, he was n stump speaker in
Fremont's campaign of 1S50; then
school teaiiicr, repaying his father for
tho exponse of his college education,
and Having a small capital; then pro
prietor of the Xvniu AVir, which gnvo
him Uoiiil1i.'ui leaders-hip in central
Ohio; afterwards correspondent at Col
milium of tho CIncinnnti Timet, with a
salary of to a week, when his brilliant
articles brought him a similar connect
ion with the Cleveland Herald nt $15 a
wook. Tho Cincinnati Gazelle now dis
covered him mid laid bold of his ser
vices at $18 a week. Tho next step in
advance w.h tij become city editor of
tho dazetk.'
On the breaking out of war While

respondent mid acquired a wide fame
for letters, extensively copied', over the
sobriquet "Agate "
Personally, Mr. Koid is over m feet
tall, proportionately clout, and of com

His self-made Mioei'fn is not only a

Tho Rev. Dr. Parkhurst. whoso well
meant efforts to find out just how much
wickedness exists in Now York, lend
him into places of the vilest repute und
mado him n witness of scenes so worso
than bestial that tho secular press, not
usually ovor-uiodest, daro not describe
them, is confronted by four quite diflVr
ont but equally unforgiving enemies
tho city authorities, society, his breth
ren of the clergy and the vicious classes
whom ho has exposed. The authorities
naturally feel injured becnuso a result
of Dr. Parkhurst's visit'! proves that
they have been disgracefully remiss.
Society is displeased becatifo thocour
gcous Dr. Parkhitrst has removed it
dirty cloth and shown it a hideous and
sickoning bloody bore. Tho clergy he
cause tho methods employed havo been
out of tho common, as duelists mid
physicians say, not according to the
code. Tho keepers ol the dens exposed
nro malevolont, not becausotho exposure
has been made, but because tho authori
ties wero compelled by tho persistent
reverend gentleman to annoy them.
Hattio Adams, the vilest of the vilo,
threatens to swear that Dr. Purkhurst
sat calmly by and witnessed a nameless
performance in her house and that it
was paid for by the agent of the society
for the suppression of vice who accom
panied him. '
Tlio district attorney tlneatens that
sho shall be given uu opportunity to an
noy tho doctor by dwelling ujioti the de
tails of the scene in open court.
. Ono thing ia cortain, while tho wis
dom of Dr. Parkliurst's method is de
batable, there can be. no doubt of his
honesty of purpose or of the fact thnt
its fulfillment has been followed by
beneficial results'.
The apathy of tho police and state
authorities had become notorious and
Dr. Parkhurst endeavored to fully nc
quaint himf-elf with the condition of af
fairs that his fulminntloiiH against .vice
and police collusion might he intelligent
nt least to himself. Ho told a sicken
ing story, but it was true, nnd had the
client of compelling action and closing
certnin of the notorious resorts. The
arrows ho aimed wero not padded nor
did they fly nt random, ns had become
the fashion of the Now York clergymen
in their battles with municipal wicked
ness. Each dart entered deep into the
object aimed at aud quivered painfully.
His warfare was unrelenting und effect
ive. Whatever may bo tho outcomo of tho
din tho doctor lias brought nbout his
ears, ho and his friends will have the
consolation of knowing that ho has ac
complished morn in having closed a
single house of ill fuino and hnving
spurred the unwilling authorities into
action than nil the blind nnd general
ministerial attacks thnt havo been
made against social and official sin in
New York within the last half century.
Ho may be driven from hid pulpit, in
which event the masses will believe
that ho ia 111010 earnest nnd painstaking
in the cause of virtue nnd morality than

The action of the Republican 'eiigiiu
convention yesterday in electing the
ontire roll of olliccrs and list of dele
gates by ucchimntion shows that an era
of peace and good will exists in the
Republican parly of Arizona. A dispo
sition on the part of nil tho delegates
to mako good natured concessions in the
interest of harmony is evidence that it
Is possible for the Republican party to
present a solid front to tho common
enemy this fall, and bv united action
place Arizona in the Republican col
umn, which its commercial importance
nnd the energy, thrift, intelligence and
enterprise of its people demand.
The Democratic majority in tho ter
ritory is bo small that it can bo entirely
wiped out by a united nnd harmonious
eirort on tho part of tlin Republicans,
and tho convention yesterday presages
BiH'h n result.
The Republicans of tho territory havo
in the past exhibited a good deal of
ability n3 fighters in their onslaughts
upon each other, nnd if they will now
turn their batteries upon the common
foo they will eurn tho gratitude of tho
party ah a w hole and the people of what
is dt-Htinod to be 0110 of the greatest
commonwealths in the sisterhood of
states.
Republicanism is a synonym for
progress nnd jirospority, and with Ari
zona safely Republican immigration
will pour into our bordera until every
nvnilablo foot of laud is occupied. It is
therefore n duty which the Republicans
owo to each other and to tho people, to
let by-goncs bo by-goncs and mako a
grand, glorious shoulder to shoulder
fight for a common causo and tho com
mon good.
This paper has heretofore admonished
the Republicans of tho territory to get
together, "let the dead past bury its
dead," cluso up tho ranks of discord,
and present u solid Republican pha
lanx, and it again repeats this ndvico.
It ia tho duty ol every Republican to
work vigorously and earnestly for party
success, and the harmony which seemed
to prevail in ycstcidny'a convention in
evidence that tho Republicans gener
ally begin to realize this responsibility.
United action or. tho part of Repub
licans means tho utter defeat nnd repu
diation of Democracy this fall.
FKttlS 111MUNU TWINJ:.
The McKinley bill removed all rlntien
on binding twino materials and about
four-fifths of tho duty on tho finished
article. In this respect the Republican
measure gave nioro than doublo tho
tarifT reduction offered by tho Mills
bill. Tho remaining remnant of tho
twino duty has become tho subject of
loud demonstration by tho Democratic
congressional majority and finally has
been voted out of oxistenco witli a nour
ish of trumpets.
Tho sovon-tonths of ono cent duty por
pound now remaining on twino is bucIi
?. tiilio as scarcely to bo worth tho dig
nity of n separate) bill, Tho Democratic
uproar over this insignificant remnant
of tariff duty is a sample of tho diminu
tive courage nnd conviction of the pres
ent Democratic congress in tho fulfill
ment of its swooping campaign pledges.
Inasmuch, however, as tho twine
business appears to bo within the con
trol of a trust, Tan Rbi'viiucan has
taken tho position that whatever of
tariff protection remains on twine,
however alight, should bo removed. Two
years ago tho Republican senators of
the northwest voted to removo tho duty
on binder twine, nnd it is probable that
they will do so again.
Tho Republican party has removed
about nine-tenths of tho protective du
ties enjoyed by tho sugar trust, and
four-fifths of tho duties enjoyed by ho
twine IrusT. Tho sugar and twine com
binations appear to bo still pushing
their schemes to strninrlu competition
and increaso prices. Tho authorities,
under the provisions of tho Republican
anti-trust law, aro now engaged on thef.0
cases. Meantime, the removal of tho
remnants of duty on twine and sugar
may assist in bringing said concerns to
their senses.
Tho removal of tho sugar duties may
not bo in line with tho political philoso
phy of Grover Cleveland, who considers
the rovenue on sugar necessary to tho
Democratic tariff for rcvonuo policy;
and tho annihilation of the twino octo
pus may bo gall mid wormwood to tho
nllinucoollicials who draw commissions
for organizing alliance branch stores
for the octopus. Tho nlllanco or
gan, tho Urtat Weal, may also object for
fear it may lose its weekly double col
umn advertisement. Nevertheless, tho
masses of the people will approve tho
Republican position.

Tho salley of tho Salt liver has been
celebrated for years ns tho fruit belt of
tho southwest, and the fact will' be
readily conceded by nil who hnvo had
experience in tho matter, that tho
fruits of this district aru superior in
flavor to those produced nnywhero else
in the country.
But tho disadvantage under which
tho district has lnbored, up to a very
few years ago, has been in the fact that
only inferior varieties of fruits wero
cultivated here. Tho people of Ari
zona, cut oil ns they were from com
munication with tho rest of the coun
try, and almost completely isolated
from the world, had not tho advantage
of tho progress that had been mado in
fruit culture as well as in everything
else, during the last decade, nnd
coqscquently when the railroad peno
trated this region nnd tho American
immigrant came in, he found tho stand
ard of horticulture in the territory
n uo 111 1110 samo ns nan iiecu with our
forefathers a century ago. Tho bet
ter varieties of fruits wero then
soon introduced, and the new orchards
are only just beginning to hear, but tho
small quantity of improved fruit that
has already boon sent nbroad has been
sulliclent to show tho favor with which
it is received, and to remove all doubt
of the fact that n fow years hence, when
the fruits of this valley becomo known
to the public they will not rank second
in the markets of the world to thoso of
any other district of the American con
tinent. Thero nro thoimnda of acres conven
ient to Phienix still to be purchased nt
comparatively low prices, which are
fully as well adapted to this purpose as
any that havo yot been utilized, and
which only require planting und culti
vating to make them as valuable as anv
in tho country. Thero is no opening
for n man of moderate capital, in any
port of tho country, thnt promises a bet
ter return than a fruit farm in tho Salt
River valley.

Froui tho supposed nflluence of real
estato agencies, Insurance, or loafers on
our street corners, it mny be considered
by somo to bo qtiito n fall from such
ptotnincnt social and financial heights
to suggest truck farming as a means of
livelihood, but Tins Replmilican not
only suggests it, but earnestly urges it
us ono of tho most profltnblo and cer
tainly honorable occupations thnt could
engage the attention of many of our
people who do not now have enough
to do to keep away- the blues.
To illustrato tho importance of thie
industry in Los Angeles, California, we
may take tho statement made by K. W.
Wade, general manager of tho Santa Fe
interests in Southern California, that
he has just placed an order at eastern
headquarters to send out 700 cars to
handle tlio potato crop of 1ms Angeles,
and tho further statement Hint l.GOO
cars of vegetables havo been sent east
from Los Angeles this senson.
This is comparatively a new field for
Industrial enterprise, nnd nnd that the
railroads are aiding nil in their power
by making tho exceptionally low rate of
ninetv cents a li und red. It is wortli
careful consideration by many people
who ought to bo pleased to get an im
mediate income from this Eourco while
they nro waiting for their fruit orcllarda
to come into bearing.

Do all Arizoninus even, appreciate the

"Tho Santa Rita Company" was
formed by Charles D. Postou in Cincin
nati, Ohio, in 1850, for tho purpose of
working the supposed rich mines in the
Santa Ritn mountains east of Tubac.
which was tho headquarters of several
companies.
"Tho Santa Rita Company" had a
cash capital of $160,000 to stnrt with,
nnd camo across the plains with a train
of wagons and fifty men.
Among tho outfit was a hand presson
which "The Arizonian" was published at
Tubac 1857 1858 "Sic transit gloria

"PitiVATS owNKitsiiii' in land is the
nether mill stone," says Henry George,
tho political beau ideal of tho Demo
cratic congiessmon :
God made the land; it ia His bounty
to tho human inco. Where does any
man, or sot of men, got the right to
parcel out and sell this heritage of our
Heavenly Father to all tho children
alike?
Ono of Henry George's critics replies
thnt God mado gold and iron ns well as
land. What right has any ono to sell
gold or iron? God mado the cattlo on
a thousand hills. What right has the
farmer to sell an ox?
Henry Gcorgeiam in land is akin to
freo love in affections. They nro born
of the same spirit. They tend to tho
samo ond. As long ns men nnd women
plight troth for better or worso until
death do them part, so long there will
bo prido of ownership.
Am. ritECtuKKTM have been violated
in Kansas by the choice of John James
Ingalls as head of the Republican dele
gallon to Minneapolis. Heretofore the
rule in Kansas Republican politics lias
been "out of sight and out of mind.'
To be defeated for the office of United
States senator haa been considered the
knell of political death. Mr. Ingalls
presents tho first instance of resurrec
tion. He has risen from the obscurity
to which nil his predecessors in defeat
were consigned, and for a few brie
hours will shine in a great National
gathering like tho morning star in the
front of day. It may well be believed
that tho astrologers and soothsayers are
troubled by this portent.
1111: riiotu'ecTH run the Democrats to
win in the election next fall aro be
coming moro flimsy daily. Everything
they do proves a boomerang to their
faith and tho probability la that by the
time of tho election they will not be
nblo to, show a lighting opposition
First they backed down from their posi
tion on tint tariff question, and showed
the white feather by failing to follow
tho leadership of men who advocated
Free Trade, neither would they come
out in favor of protection.
On the silver question they modo the
samo blunder, and between their mis
takes and the fallacy of their doctrines
it seems that their liopes are completely
swamped.
The pant kkw weeks lully demon
strate the fact that Arizona's climate is
not all hot, and thnt wo havo prettier
weather hem than any where else in the
world. People who have visited Italy
say that the glory of its sunsets, and the
beauty of its evenings cannot in anyway
exl-ell those wo havo been enjoying for
some time pact. Even thoto who would
hold out against nnylhing good in this
country have been compelled to give in
and acknowledge that there is no more
pleasant place to live than in the val
leys of tho fcalt end Gila rivere.
Tiik cattlkmkn's feud in tho state of

good deal depends on the coming elec

YicToitiA Woopiiuli, BimiuLrii-MAii-tin
