The Phoenix Gazette ia publishing
ft very creditable 16-page special irriga
tion congress edition.
It is said that Ex-Queen Lil (eta)
not a welcome visitor to Washington,
Her complexion is just a trifle too dark,
Everybody ia busily preparing for
the holidays. Eren the shoplifters are
doing a little extra work ia honor of the
occasion.

visit the Pinal county reservoir,
could have lots of fan.

Kansas Citt is to have co-operative
printing offices, as the result of a war
between the TvDoersphical Union and
the employing printers.
Weyxeb says cow that Maceo is out
of the way, he will crush the insurgents
out of existence in three weeks. May
not the Cubans have another Maceo?
The Sultan cf Turkey is aggrieved
over the report that he objected to
Cleveland's mesBace. He vows by hia
Fez and Turban that he never read
word of it.
San Feakci6Co has been visited by an
epidemic of suicide. Tnere is one
feature of the ecourge that is not pleas
ant Those who really ehould take
their own lives, rarely do so.
It is stated and with apparently
strong reason, that Cleveland has writ
ten longer messages, whioh have receiv
ed less attention, than any president in
the history cf our country.
The pressure of atmoephere on
man's body is nearly fourteen and one
half tens, says an ex-change. Pshaw,
that's featherweight compared to the
pressure some of the "life long republi
cans" of Arizona are bringing to bear
for Federal offices.
The men who finished the six day's
bicycle race in Madison Square Garden
New York, are described as apparent
human wrecks. Hale won, riding 1910
miles, and averaged about 15 J miles an
hour. He took eight hours sleep in the
six days.
Now they have ordered the people of
Havana to cease celebrating over Maceo's
death, because they are pretty well as
sured that he is cot dead. Weyler will
have to make another change in his
schedule, and push the date of the
three-weeks limit.
Aicd cow is the peace of the city to be
disturbed again by another election.
Only about ninety days until an election
of school trustees. The ladies, god bless
'em, will take a hand in that, and don't
you forget it. No ghosts. Everything
alive.
Cleveland's idea of the Cuban situa
tion is that the United States ehould do
nothing for the insurgents until they
have won out, established a permanent
government of their own, and are in a posl
tion cos to care wnetner tney receive
any help or not.
The silly contingent of the San Fran
cisco women, during the late horse show
in that city, paid out enough for flowers
which they threw at their favorite cage,
to have fed an army of hungry people.
It is said this crowd has money to throw

If the Tucson four hundred don't get
a "wiggle on themselves" an order'some
of the latest stationery, they may lose
their standing in the select eet The
paper must be sapphire, with a shield of
of Pompeiian red, and a monogram
in silver, printed in the center of
the sheet, one half an inch from the
top. All other stationery is vulgar and
only fit for "poor whits traeh."
A movement ia on foot in- New York
state to change the data of the national
election from November to sometime in
the summer. Better not fool with the
date. The cumber of deaths which oc
curred in New York, from heat the past
summer, would be as nothing, compared
to what would follow a summer with a
politioal campaign in it.
The United Slates senate does cot
teem tc be extremely friendly to that
part of Cleveland's message which re
lates to Cuban affairs. Some of the
most stirring resolutions ever read have
been introduced since congress met,
and are fully illustrative of the fact that
the majority of the American people do
cot view the question with the same
eyes as does the fat duck hunter from
Buzzard's Bay.
America has seldom been in such a
powerful position, says the London
"Statist," with respect to the wheat
situation as she is this eeasoc, and it
may be expected that wheat holders in
the United States will cot be felow to
take advantage cf this fact. It is es
timated that the surplus of exporting
countries is 41,250,000 quarters and the
requirements of importing countries
45,000,000. Reports from Argentine 6ay
that the crop is suffering considerable
damage from locusts, and India, of
course, though an exporting country,
has thi? season been importing wheat,
as may also Australasia. The extent of
the advantage which the general situa
tion offers our farmers depends, of
course, on the amount of wheat they
still have for sale. That they are pretty
well supplied may be believed from the
faot that there wa3 co failure of the
crop in this country this season.
Let's see? Who was it said Mark
Hanna had cornered the world's wheat
for political purpoees.
THE BASEST TREACHERY.
It now seems well settled that Gener
al Maceo is dead. He was foully and
treacherously murdered ambushed by
a lot of Weyler'e bloodthirsty assassins.
Maceo's death was encompassed by a
hellish scheme, born of the ignoble
treachery of Weyler. Weyler had be
come convinced that his generalship
wa3 co match for that of the brave
Cuban commander, and in despair call
ed together Dr. Zartucha and the Mar
quis of Ahumada, to whom he unfolded
the aooursed scheme which was con
summated in Maoeo's death.
Weyler took the field and in h?s ab
ser.ee Ahumada proposed through Zer
tucha a conference with Maceo, to take
place at a oertain province of Havana,
with the view of arranging plans for the
cessation of hostilities. The basis was
ti be Cuba's independence and a mon-
tary indemnity to Spain, together, with
certain advantages that should be agre
ed upon for Spanish commerce and
Spanish capital invested there.
To carry out the plan, the agreement
was that orders should be given to the
detachments of troops stationed on the
trochaon the section between Mariel
and Guansjayo to allow Maceo with his
staff to pass the military lice unmo
lested. Time was required to mature
these arrangements, and to give them al
the appearance of truth Ahumada feign
ed that before acting he must make them
known to Weyler for previous appro
vah
This explains the sudden arrival in
Havana and his Dromot departure for
Pinardel Rio.
The conditions and place of meeting
having bean agreed-upon Maceo crossed
the trooha over the road to Guansjayo,
without being molested by the forts, but
as soon as he arrived at the place de
cided upon he and his party were greet
ed by a tremendous volley from the
troops under Major Cirujeda, who lay
conveniently in ambush. Mo6t of the
officers on his staff fell with Gen. Ma
ceo. Zertucha 13 alive because he was
aware or tne scneme ena remained in
the rear.
The Spaniards know where the bodies
are, but are bent on feigning ignorance
to blot out the vestiges of the crime.
Havana and all Spain arerejoioing be
oause, in their stupidity, they hope the
war may end with the death of this
leader.
But thir hopes In this direction are
doomed. The spirit of the Cubans has
grown the more ardent and today they
are resolved to make every sacrifice be
fore surrendering their arms to their
relentless and tyrannical foes.
The Spaniards may treacherously
murder some of the patriots, but co
earthly power can annihilate the spirit
of liberty flowing, cow as ever over the
Cuban people.
There has never been a more diaboli
cal soheme planned in the ;hishory of
civilized warfare. The meanest savage
has respect for the honor signified by
flag of truce, and Captain-General
Weyler should be brought to a realizing
sense of the faot that he is the most
damnable traitor; the most hideous
apology for manhood; and the vilest
blot which has ever defaced a page of
human history. No cation on earth,
which refuses to assist in his punish
ment, should ever be free from the
visitations of Martyred Maceo's pitiful
ghost.
Am Indianapolis pppsr exultantly an-
noucces that Indiana no longer fries her
meat, es ebe used to do and to be taunt
ed for it by more progressive 6tates. Ten
years ago, it 6ays, a cooking club intro
duced the broiler, and has pushed it
with so much energy and success that
frying iti now practically unknown, except
in the backest of the back counties
where they still vote for Jackson. Thus,
we are assured, muoh has been done for
the digestion, appetite and good cheer
of the Hoo6iers, and the frying-pan has
gone the way of other emblems of a
crude end groping civilization.
There is no paper published in the
west which is more thoroughly in touch
with the events of day than the St.
Louie Globe Democrat. Each edition is
a library in itself. If anything if inter
est happens in any part of the known
world, and you do not see an account of
it in this able journal it is just simply
because you don't resd it. It is there,
every time. The Sunday edition is a
marvel. Every conceivable subject,
which is at a'l interesting, is treated in
an able and exhaustive manner by
writers who have demonstrated their
capability long ago. No new feature of
journalism escapee the' Globe- Democrat,
and it is fair, fearless, and a model in its
line.
Arizona can gam but little headway
until her various resources are known
in the centers where capital makes its
head quarters; continued, persistent
and liberal advertising, is the only
measure which will produce the desired
result.
Tvcson offers more inducements for
the investment of capital than any other
point in the southwest. There is an
almost unlimited demand for neat little
four; five, and six-roomed cottages, with
yards of their own and the homelike
comforts of those in other cities. Such
houses could be filled the year round
with a most desireable class of tenants,
and the interest on the investment
would be far greater than it sounds well
to mention.
President Cleveland is open to critic
ism in cot finding a similar condition of
inhumanity in Cuba that he discovered
in Turkey. Why did he allow this dif
ference to appear in his message? Had
he stated the situation in Cuba as plain
ly as he did that in Turkey, would Spain
cave cad any more cause for anger or
resentment than has Turkey? and yet
Turkey is cot expect. There is a good
deal to justify the belief -that Spain
knows Cleveland is her friend.
IMMIGRATION BILL-
Upon the matter of restricting immi
gration to this country, asubjeotfraugbt
with deep interest to all classes, the
New York Mail and Express has the
following to eay, relative to the bill in
troduced by Senator Lodge:
"There is at least one measure dt
signed for the general benefit of the
whole country that promises to receive
the favorable consideration of the senate
at this session. This is the immigration
bill as prepared by Mr. Lodge. The
question of how to reetrict immigration
bas been discussed in congress and out
for years. A strong sentiment for radic
al restriction has arieen amocg labor
organizations, and this has encouraged
the growth of a feeling akin to know
nothingiem. But the Lodge bill does
cot cater to any violent anti foreign pre
judice. Its design is cot to shutout
that claB6 of labor which will prove its
value by developing the fields of the
south and west. It seeks, by an educa
tional requirement, to keep out illiterate",
of whom, etatietic6 prove, only a small
peicentage go beyond the states along
the Atlantic coast.
The trouble with our immigration has
for several years been that it is declin
ing from the United Kingdom, the
Scandinavian countries and Germany,
and relatively increasing from Italy,
Poland, Hungary and Bohemia. A large
proportion of those who come from the
latter countries are cot only ignorant.
thriftless and physically degenerate, but
are imbued with doctrines of the meet
ultra socialism. It is honeBt labor, cot
fanatio and revolutionary theories, that
America wants for its development.
There is co truth in the idea that our
labor market can be overstocked, so
long as the tide of domestic industry is
at its normal height and our capacity
of home ooneumption of product is
sustained by prosperity. There is ample
room for the hardy toiler and bis family
in the fallow fields south of the Ohio
and west of the Miesiseippi. Nor, as
the recent election showed, does the
country need to fear the effect of the
naturalized ballot of this class of foreign
born voters.
The educational test proposed by Mr,
Lodge is the best form of restriction yet
offered. The senate bill is most con
servative, and wniie it may not answer
the desire of some labor eooietiee, it
promises to lessen the influx of those
immigrants who swell the ranks of dis
contented idlers in our eastern citiee
and add to the cumber of unemployed
The object to be attained is to lessen the
percentage of arrivals who remain in
New York, and to increase the number
of incomers to whom their port of dieem
barkaticn is only a way station on their
journey to the interior. The Lodge bill
differs materially from the measure
which has paesed the lower branch of
congress; but it is to be Hoped tbat it
will receive the approval of the eecate
and the concurrence of the house."

The report of Comptroller Eckels
shows that during last year the business
done through the banks was transacted
with 92.5 per cent of checks and 7.5 per
cent of actual money. In the country
districts 88 well as in the large cities,
the check system is generally employed,
and comparatively little currency suffic
es for all business purposes. It is the
sality and cot the quantity of money
that is of most importance under the
present condition of civilization.
The Effect of Climate
A climate cot necessarily unhealthy
often proves so to those unaccustomed
to it. ine acclimating prooess seems
unusually Blow ia some constitutions.
There is, however, a medicinal means of
acclimating it of which residents or
sojourners iounaocuetomed or malarious
climates have oot been elow to avail
themselves. Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters is a rnedioical safeguard and ac
climating tonic of standard reputation,
which travelers, emigrant, touriete,
mariners, and otners wnoee tastes and
pursuits entail exposure, suMection to
changes of temperature, unusual or un
wholesome diet or water, and the fatigue
attendant upon long journeys by land
or sea. concur in pronouncing it re
liable, agreeable and safe. As a remedy
for disorders of the liver, stomach and
bowela, very prevalent in malarious
regions and the tropice, as a preventive
of fever and ague, rheumatism and
kidney troubles, and as a restorative of
vigor, it is also held in the highest
estimation.
Pima county draws a long sigh of
relief. The A. P, A. ghosts and other
political spooks are all embalmed and

political campaign two years hence.
There is only one cloud cow which mars
the overhanging sky of peaceful serenity.
It is a wind cloud and is formed by the
blowings of office hunters under the

the sunshine of appointment strikes it,
and there will be in its plaoe only the
echo of disappointed wails from the
lifelong MoKicley republicans" who
failed to make connection.
There was an effort yesterday to

the wishes of the people so that the
honor of the United States is at stake,
