ARIZONA WEEKLY CITIZEN - QL'vYm, TP0SOS. PIMA OOLTOY, ARIZONA TERRITORY, SATURDAY JAXUAEY U 188. WEEKLY CITIZEN. SATURDAY. JANUARY 14. 18S8 The friends of Ex-Congressman Brag? ct Winsconsin, are said to be indiscreetly poshing his claims beforo the President, for the position of minister to ilexioo. Batween that country and this, some weighty and important interests are pending, and as Bragg'e pole ia some what short, he will hardly be able to knock the persimmon. His weighty cervices to President Cleveland at the Chicago Convention may Bocnre him the nomination bnt it won't win him confir mation by the senate. NO I If Lamar, when first nominated to a B?at on the Supreme Bench, had pressed his claims before the senate, he would, in recognition of his valuable services while Secretary of the Interior, un doubtedly have been confirmed, but un fortunately for him. the delay is liable to cost him the coveted position. John Sherman, Senator Evarts and other re publican leaders have been urged by their constituents to work and vote against him, and all have pledged them, selves to do so. Senator Evarts, when interrogated on the subject, said the re publican senators oould certainly be re lied on to vote in opposition tn his confirmation. Several democratic sena tors will also oppose him. We learn with pleasure, from Hon. R. C Brown, of the prosperity of the good people of Florence. The big ditch has been completed for a distance of fifteen miles and is to be continued on some six or eight miles further, and thus bring under cultivation many more thousands of acres. The land-in tho Gila is at rich aa any in the world and its productive nsES practically unlimited. That along the conrse of the ditch hns been mostly taken up and when water is turned on an immense agricultural district will spring into life that will make Florence one of the most prosperous and flourish ing cities in the territory. Already within the past year the values of town property have more than doubled and the increase in values goes steadily on. The four Apaobe Bconts imphoated m the last San Carlos outbreak and about whose sentence by court martial, so mush mystery was maintained, are to be sent to the military prison at Fort Leav- enworth, Kansas. The sentence of these worthies as approved by General Miles, it that one serve a term of two years, ona a term of ten years and two a term of twenty years eacn. Tmsisforon in fraction of military discipline, but for the murder of Mike Grace and Deihl they will go unpunished. Had white soldiers revolted, shot at their officers and run amuck among the peacnble white 6ettlers, they would have been oon sidered as deserving of death and no less Density wonid have been inflicted on them. The unenlisted Indians en gaged in that bloody foray, will get off ecott free. Their carcasses are too precious to this great government of onra. to allow the ends of justice to , bej rightly served. Obmok ia one of the largeBt and most fertile of tho whole sisterhood of states. It has made rapid progress since the opnsns oflBSO. From 1860 to 1880 the population, roughly speaking, was near ly doubled every ten yenra. In seven years it has increased about 50 per cent, In 1890 it will not fall short of 300,000. With the state, Portland has increased more than proportionately in wealth and population. In 1870 its population was 8.233. In 1880, 17.697 being more than double. To-day it is not le3a than 40,000, a more rapid increase etill. Every year there are built in it no leas than two or thrPA hnnflrivl honses. showing an in crease of about 2.000 in a year. It bBS a large and constantly increasing line of manufacturers. The present railroad brings it into communication with every imnnrtnni oitv on the North American ennt?nnt. The state produoed this year of wheat 425,000 tons, and 12,000, 000 pounds of wool. The three great staples of wheat wool and salmon will this year reaoh a value of seventeen million dollars. The total value of leading articles is not IesB than twenty millions of dollars. American Banker. ...j.j.j j.IAPH. TIT . . . iiABHixoTON, Jan. 6. The Oarliele- j.uueoe coniest wes taken up before the -s.vuiuuiiwo on eieouons tins morn- jug. Anoeoe was present with counsel. Uounsel said that Carlisle, hm-i ,a acknowledged his defeat on the night of me election. Thoebo also addressed me committee and said that on the night of election Carlisle's friends held a conference and decided to hold back tho returns until they oould be forced to give him a majority. The oommittto went into secret eession nt 2 n. m. Gen. SvDher. in tho his olient's case in the Thoebe-Car!isle contest before the House, Biid in seven or eight precinots in Carroll county the vvu uouss were written and signed and certified as to all the names in one uand writing and it was evident that all must have been written nfter tho election by one man, a9 he could not have been in all tho precincts at ooca on eleition day. Counsel aaid CarlLln failed of election through neglect in some preoinots. Ho tiokets were printed until 3 o clock and there was virtually no election m some precincts. In Boono county two hundred votes were cast on election day, bnt the returns finally snowed IXjI votes. In Carroll county there was practically no election. He He oould show voters had failed to go to ine pons on election day, bnt when they found Carlisle was defeated they voted noxt day. Not only was this the caao in Carroll, but in all tbo outlying connties. Counsel took up affidavits of contestant that Carlisle's friendB had corrupted his (Thoebe's) attornev and induced him to abandon the case and suppress testimony. Syphcr said tby had been given the name of the man who purchased Attorney Wood and if mformanats told the tru;b he w;.8 n relative of Carlisle. The price nunc-d was $250. Thoebe's afliiavit next tend where he accuses Wood of delaying the taking testimony, telling him (Thoobe) there might be money in it for both -if them it he would withdraw from the contest, Sypner said there was not tho least ground for reopening tho case uud declared that Carlisle was before tho committee and could not refuse to in vestigato Thoebe's claims. Xoa ales, January O. information or the killing of Eraclio Bernal, the famona Mexican bandit, has been received. Bernal and a portion of his followers had a desperate fight yesterday near the town of Cosals, Sinnloa, with Mexican troops, during which Bernal was killt-d, His mother and threa or four followers were captured. The bandit a remains were taken to Cosala where they oro nt present. The captives were lodged in jail at Cosala. The fight was short, bnt bloody and desperate. .So further par ticulars are now obtainable, as the gov .rnment wires ore being used tor the transmission of tne offioial report of the affair, ine loss on both sides is unknown, bnt is supposed to be very heavy.

There is, how ever, liable to be a big clearing out of these loafing communities S3 under an old law for their exclusivo benefit, the whipping post haB been revived. Near one town every tramp caught waa given thirty-nine laBhes on the bare back and when let co was told not to be again caught under penalty of a double dose The judge who passed the sentence in struoted the officers to arrest every tramp caught in their district even if it took the whole state.force to do it. This decision and sentence caused n general stampede of the tramp loafers, and it is -afe to Bay that they will hereafter avoid that section of the oountry, notwith Etinding its climatic temptations as a winter residence, If the whipping post is good for Florida it would, under the same circumstances, be good for An ions also, and more especially for the southern portion of the territory. th re is an v thine that a tramp hates worse than work it is his due at the whip Ding post. It is a pity that there is not some old law that will bear resasi cation for the benefit of tbifl particular class of parasitic criminals. Agents Wanted.

Citizen: In many parts of tbo world one travels in, Enl it becomeB known that ha is taking notes for nub- lication, nnd ono does not conform to just tho ideaB ot tho msnv knowine ones, and what tbey want to say, you are put down as having taken a hasty or dyspeptio observation of tho country, and had no opportunity to know any thing, etc. Making no greater preten tions to being a writer thnn in tnll the plain, simple truth, under ull ciroum- stonoes, I shall not bo thus branded I hope. I once spent eight months in travel ing in China, end in looking over many of my old notes, I concluded they might interest come ot tho many read ers of your excellent paper. Shonld ono pass a week ox so in a ho tel and should write conformably to what various interest would hnve you do yon are at once quoted as a most in telligent, experienced traveler and writer. A thorough investigation, however, takes off all tho varnish. In China society may bo divided into six parts, iirst, the gentry, which in cludes the literary and professional classes, and from which the officials nro usually .chosen. Second, tho commer cial, which includes all grades of mer chants. Third, the mechanical, includ ing nil artisans. Fourth, the agricul turist, florist, etc. Fifth, the religions, or the preist nnd unus, which may bo said to oomposo a distinct type. Sixth, the oommon laborers or cooties. And 1 might add a separate class, composed of the army and navy, whioh is chielly re oruitd from from tho last named di-vi'ion. Their regard for ancestors and tho e- tabluhed usages of past sges requires that the son Eball engage in the busi ness calling ot tho father. Henco each of the above classes might be sub-di vided, forming as many distinct classes as there are distinct callings. The fifth class mnst be excepted, as all their priests are celibatcp(and recruited from tbo other classes, but the choice is gen erally made so early iu life that the sedentary and vegetarian lifo marks the physiognomy of tbo priest. The peculiar nature of their written language also tends to separate the dif ferent learned professions. Hence each student is a specialist. There are but few comparatively of the literary clashes outside the priesthood who know any thing ot their religions literature, uud so ot the other special bracohus. The natural result ot this tact is to give deferenco to each professor in his de partment. Thus the judicial order is co-fined to a very few judges in each district from whoso decisions there is no appeal, and likewise the medical fraternity, although, strange to say, they are among the most ignorant. Yet they wield an absolute inilaenco in their ephero and all clttssis snbmit to the most needless and excruciating tor ture upon the prescription of tho dootor, simply because he is supposed to know all abont it. Among the best patronized, mot re munerative and respectable ot their learned professions, ia tbo fortune teller. or olairvoyant, whose business it is toj study the spirits for fates of men ,and thus 1 know just what is safe and profittble for eacn man to do. So complete is this belief in the powers of this clase that nothing is begun without first con sulting an oraole, and bis instructions are followed to the letter. This class correspond nn 1 are contemporary ivitb with Daniel, the interpreter ot all dreams and handwriting npon the walls of ancient Babylon. Wheo a house is built the oracle is consnlted to see where it should bo and where to put tho doors. They think the devil is a great fool, henoe the doors ot nil the honses are put in somo ecccntrio angle, so that his s a tamo majesty may not find his way into the honso to disturb the for tunes ot tbo tenants. The idea is the samo sa that whioh obtaire in the trap with Bn open trench for quails, which ook around tbo wall for a placo ot escape, bnt never think to look in the center ot tbo enclosure for the open trench through which they entered. When a person diesibo fortune teller nro called in to ascertain n luoky posi tion for the grave, and this ia often n difficult task, especially it deceased bad money. It i much li-e the arduous task ot praying tho soul of a ri.h prodi gal out of purgatory, in Boman Catho Iio circles. It is no unusual thing for the dead to remain nnbnried for months or even years, waiting for tho oracle to determine tbo proper place; or, more often with the poor, waiting to get money to pay tho fee, for fortnno telling is a oash business. There is no danger of the professional losing a patron by refusing ere lit, for thn belief ot tho people is so compI te that they dare not neglect this impor tant feature, and thus incur the u: nlensure of the spirit of tho dead, whose nowers for evil ia supposed to bo un limited. It often happens that a bird will delay a wedding for many days. The bonw here-ver it is possible, are surrounded with trees or thrubbery, and those r.ro th favorite resorts of tho birds wh.ch 1 ..I 4 . nrA very nnmerouf. uau twwuet ccij vnriety of bird, epr.cially the crow end mnamp. are connected with some tradi tion or ill luck. Hence when n profes sional oracle is consulted with regard to a safe time for n marriage, he often tens them that a day mnst be selected upon clnoh a certain bird cither does or uoe- not light upon the premises; and thus ih l.rido is sometime kept waiting for anile the family constant! look out for tho omen of gpod luck. If n crow cry over the head or breast of a nn on ft ionrnev it fills him with n dread apprehenson of seme dire calami ty, very similar to iraumons oi rumi parts of the United States, where a dove cooing upon tne nonseiop is a euro biku nt fi death in the family. This class of fnra-tellin.7 events is based upon a secret power of divination posessed by the pro fessional. r imv nftpn met with men who ex- hands too. with 4,4-4 4.4.V. " 4 ,Z .1.

But the feature that impressed me waa the it plicit faith the people seem to have in what is t?ld them. Once or twice I saw fathers having tbo heads of their eons examined, and were taking written nharta of what wastold them. For what nnrrviBAa T .lid not learn, but it is fair to say that from their usual faith in their teaohers, that the information was em tn rUrpflt the education of the boys, and it this were trae.it was a good thing, even tnougn tne pnrenujuK - ......144,! oimnlv nnnn his intnitivO COU- 4 1. 44 44 4.. 4T4 444 U4y , . tw.tiAna ,n 4 o-nrri tn the talents Of bis bis subjects, and right here, I think the tuonnr. nf thA alienee should bo re- 4.44w4444.W W . .ww - TrnAn mm- in this country. Tbers too much tendenoy to put boyn to doing tfc.t for vfiinh they have no natural isl- . eat, and I am tore that it is largely dae to this that there so many men of mere passive character in the professions. It wes good logio that sai i, "the Lord hsd si-otted a Nc. 1 blackemith and mado a very poor pr jaoher out of the material." Is it not rather remarkabls that all modern sciences in the West have their counterpart in the East. Thero is scarce ly an idea in our religion tht has not a counterpart in Chinese religion; and eoaroely a superstition with respt-ct to devils, witchas, ghosts eta, in China, that has not been also in the history of western nations, and even yet exists among many of the less thoughtful. This fact suggests that the proptr method ot benefiting China is not to create a reolution in their ideas and systems, or transplant our own theories instead of theirs bnt to accept their bfitublisbed theories and refine them by culture, as we havo refined our own eliminating the gn es Bnd superfluous, leaving only the true and rn-eful. The Chinese bavo praotioolly no real knowl edge of physiology. They have never practiced anatomy, regarding the hum-.n stem or body as too sacred to be dealt tr-.th in so saoriligiouB a manner. They . epecd wholly upon the external shape : .r their system of physiology. Tho ro il: is, that nearly nil ot their systems Bad theories are erroneous. They lo cate the heart in the aodomen, and sup pise tha soul to reside in tbo same place Their treatment ct diseases is oftsn tne most absurd, as one would expect from such a superficial knowledge ot the bumnnbody. Tbo common diagnosis of chill- end fever, which is a very commun complaint, is a possession ot devils, and tho shaking is ths svmptom. It i a great offense to tell a' man he has the chills, tor it equivalent to telim? him he ba- devils in him, and that implies that ha is a great sinner, for, t-trange tc eay, they never accuse tne oevil ot injustice. Iheir conduct towards that fabulous io ia to try to out wit him, but all .alamities are regarded tn his work, Iicnco there is little eympnthy for the .uffcri-g. Consumption is declared a loui ot blood from the system, i'he pale face is tho evidence. Their reatment of this disease is to give the sufferer blood to drink For this pur pose, consumptive, attend pubho exe cutions, which ore dono by beheading, for the purpose ot catching tho blood ot tho lictim in their rico bowls to drink mediomaly. Smallpox is very general among them, and although they know nothing of vaccination, they havo learn ed the benefits of inoculation which is extensively practiced. They regard 3mallpox as under the special jurisdic tion ot a goddess, whose wholo timo is devoted to this disease. They accord ingly havo pictures and images ot the goddess whioh aro worshipped with much display. Thoy pronounce tho Bmallpox as "Flowers ot heavenly plant ing," varioloid as "flowers of human planting." No one darespcakrepr-inch-f ul'y or disrespectfully ot tho disease, lest tho goddess bo offended and bring .ummary punishment. When one t taken with this disease hi-i friends send congratulations, and tho family put on the semblance ot rejoicing. The priest is first called in. who enthrones an im-ge ot the goddess in the house, which is worshipped by a committee in behalf of the patient. If this succeeds in bnnaing out the postnlee, no mre is done; bnt it the case is an urgent ono, tho priest is again called in, and the image is escorted through the streets with musio (?) and fire crackers. It this tells, a doctor is called in, and if then tha patient dies, as the tbey often dn. Strange to say, the matter ia acquiesced in as one of fate.

Sacldcdly Different Idea-. I waa In aa English tafior ahop tho other morning and the proprietor, as a crowning argument in favor ot his sartorial pro ductions, produced a pair ol trousers "for Mr. Pulitzer." The size of tha trousers attracted my attention, and little inves tigation led to the interesting discovery that thero were two Mr. Pulitzers In Paris, and that while Mr. Joseph Pulitzer has been living tn state at the Hotel Bris tol with his fine apartment, his courier, etc, Mr. Albert Pulitzer, of Tho New York Morning Journal, has also been liv ing In state, though more quietly, at the Grand Hotel, ha too having his fine apart ment and his courier, which all goes to show: First, that Is a great thing to have a "large circulation;" and second, that the Paris correspondent of Tha Morning Jour nal does not write the society notes in The Galtgnanl'B Messenger. The opinions of these two eminent Jour nalists on the newspapers ot France are of course most Interesting. Mr. Joseph Pulitzer spoke as followa on the subject: "Yott want my opinion on French news papers? Well, I can give It to you very quickly. I think It is simply disgraceful the kind of thing which they produce here. They ore newspapers in name, but newspapers with tho news left out. They print neither home news nor foreign news, In fact they print nothing but storins and essays. Thoy have no enterprise. Why this late disaster to tho Champagne at Havre was hardly noticed by them. I had to get the detail! from tha scanty little English papers (pointing to tha Gah'gnani and tha Morning News). Now an American newspaper which understood Its business would havo had a man on tha spot by tho very first train to laUrview Ute officers, tho captain and tha pas sengers, to get photographs of the scene, etc, and to send off a complete account by telegraph, regardless of expense. No, sir, I don't think much of French news papers, and, by tha way, I don't think much more of their English rivals." Mr. Albert Pulitzer haa decidedly dif ferent ideas on the same Question. "I know that It Is tha fashion," he said, "to condemn French Journals en tho ground that they aro deficient In what we call 'news.' Of course t is svldtnt that in this respect tho7 are a long way behind us ; but I attribute it not to any lack of an tor prise on the part of editors and proprie torsfor from It hut to the fact that they recognize that the general demand la for something quite dlHarent. People In Franca have- not got tiat terrible- thirst for 'news' which consumes us at home; they are not at all In a hurry to know about accidents and crimes before it is neces sary, and even then they don't want a great mass of sickening details. In many ways their tastes aro more elevated than ours. For example. The Figaro will print two columns on a new play by Alexandra Dumas, and will employ ona ot the most distinguished literary men la tha country to write tha criticism. There Is another great dlff.rence; in France all the great writers contribute to the newspapers, and theso men are paid as much as $10,000 to $12,000 a year. Tha result Is that a first class French newspaper becomes really a vehicle for the transmission of the highest order of literary, scientific and artistic thought, and certainly that la very much mora t1" we can say of our American papers, even tho best of them." Paris Cor. Philadelphia, Times. CharMtartitlcs at tha Fag Dog-. There are not more than fifty pug dogs In St. Louis, and yet they are In great de mand. The reason they cannot be sup plied Is because they ar hard to get. Their race peculiarities ars strange, and henco they do not multiply as rapidly as other breeds. Not mora than fonr or flrs are had at one litter, and they will not ra tion their breed If crossed, wfcen inns crossed with other breeds the puppies loss tho characteristics of tho png and re semble tho crossed breed. This Is a good explanation of their rarity. It was only In thn last nfty years that theso pets of society could be obtained by everybody. They were formerly bred by certain mem bers of the nobility of Europe, and tha strain remained a family possession. The qualification of being rare was not tne only one that rendered tha png valuable. Ha Is essentially a pet. I never heard of a rasa where a one doir had ina raoies. Ho has an excellent temper, so that ho la safe for children. Of course, ho Is not a fighter or a watch dog, but these are not qualifications demanded of a pet. He Is delicate, like all lap dogs, liable to become overfed, but he makes up for that by gen eral amiability. I am a great friend of tho pug, for I do not thins: na is generally understood. oiooe-Jjemocrau The Verdict Unanimous. W. D. Salt. Druezist. Bippus.
