FRELINGHUYsBS IS perhaps the weak
 est man who has occupied the head of
 the State Department during the past
 thirty years. He Is weak in intellect,
 lacking in decision. has no force of
 character and but little judgment. His
 last lapse was in the appointing of dele
 gates to the African conference, neld is
 Berlin for the purpose of considering the question of creating and maintain Ing a state in the basin of the river Congo on the continent of Africa. The House of Representatives have addressed a resolution of inquiry to the President upon the subject, and We should like to know how he can satisfactorily an- swer the question. IL has long been the established policy of the United States 10 take no part ID European affairs, and We have been, off aud on, preaching the Monroe doctrine for three generations, and of late years it has become stronger with the people than ever. If our gov ernmeni accepts positions and voice in the affairs of the old world, how are We to prevent EuroDean nations from taking a hand and having a say on every lIttle question tha. may arise in America?
 But the worst phase of the matter is that the strong position of the United States has been yielded up for nothing at all. What do we want with state in South Africa? We have about ss many States at home ss We can look after. and as we have not yet reached that period m our history when coloni- zation Is necessary, We have no use for land on the Congo. We should think that the bundle of treaties brought in at tine eleventh hour by thIs weak vas sal of President Arthur should satisfy his ambition without taking hand in opening up lands which We have no use for. We trust the House will sit down upon Frelin yhuysen as be deserves to h.

JAMES |. LEGATE, of Kansas, is just
 now attracting considerable attention
 on account of the charge that be was St.
 Johns go-between in making terms for
 the sale of the apostle of temperance
 during the late campaign. Now, if St
 JOhn Was to search the whole country
 over, he couli not find a man better equipped for such work. Legate IS a K4nsas D litician who by hook or crook usually secures a seat in the Leg Islature whenever he thinks 1t IS to his interest to be there. But few United
 States Senators have been elected from that State that Legate did not bear hand either for or against the candi- dates. He IS a man of large frame, weighs about 20) pounds, coarse fea- lures, ani instincts that correspond with the general makeup of the man. He carries on his shoulders the largest head of any man in the Missouri valley. In some respects he is an intellectual E AhAAs HAAAN HI bALtAN AAN lc aH AGhk hk A child. He possesses no dignity either of person or character, and while he is usually ready to take a hand in any kind of political work, he will talk with but ore man at time "on business" and if that business leads to subsequent disputes as to what was said or done. he depends upon his superior power In de- bate of defending himself upon the floor of the Legislature, and is never happier than when he has some such fight on hand, and he usually comes off victorious by his masterly invective and sledge-hammer arguments. The letter which 1t is alleged that be wrote to Mir. kerens, of St. Louis. may no: have been written by Legate. but it sounds swfully like him, and the fellow who did write It must have been room l ing with this bosom friend of St. John. l Below will be found the letter referred l to; the words in brackets were supplied I by the Globe-Democrat:
 CLEVELAND. Ohio, Oct. 10, 1884
 Dear Sir: l made a mistake in coming | here. l should have gone to Detroit | Have been c mmunicating with him St | John by telegraph. I have said to him that at the conference it was two-fifths down in Philadelphia tomorrow night and three-ffths by the 18th, and he in- sisted upon the l6th lI6th for the sec Dnd payment. provided he left for Phil sdelphis to-day, and said "Our F."

PIMA county contains two of the most promising new towns in the Territory Nogales and Logan City. Nogales is already well under way and fast becom- Ing an important trading point. BeIng located directly on the Mexican lIne of the Sonora Limited railway, it derives most of its trade from Mexican citIzens Of Sonora. Logan City being located at the base If Mount Ben Nevis, which the CITIZEN predicts will prove to be the greatest producer of silver bullion that has ever been discovered ln Arizona, its growth into thrifty town at an early day IS as certain as time rolls around.

d NUMBER of Iowa towns have de clared the prohibition law of that State a failure. The city council of Keokuk recently passed a resolution which as- serts that moral suasion and local op- tioa, with rigid high license law, are the only remedies that can be applied with any hope of good results. The common council of Keokuk have struck the key to .he only way of dealing with the temperance question. Add an in- spector, which will insure pure liquors, and you have about all that can be done to improve the cause. Prohibition IS impossible. St. JohnIsm IS a fraud. Common sense is a grand conception, will temperance people never stumble upon it?

How FEW of this generation have ever thought of the history of the ihimble, much less inquired into it. Young men have watched the nimble fingers of their ladyloves for hours as they deftly whipped up," "hand over hand" or "basted before the days of sewing machines, and even since-never for moment thinking of the lndented sur- face that protected the finger from needles of steel, but all the while follow Ing with the eye the graceful thTusts as the fair hand repeated the stitches. The needle IS not of recent origin, tut the thimble, its fitting companion, came into use in Europe only 200 years ago last October. The bi-centenary of the thlm- ble was recently celebrated at Amster- dam. "The first European thimble was made by Nicolas Van BenschoteD, a young goldsmith, who devised the arti- cls for the protection of the finger of his lady love. Mme. Van Rensselaer,, for thimbles, like many greater things, owe their origin to Cupid. The English were the first to make thimbles on a large scale; but long before English or Dutch thought of thimbles Chinese ladies were thimbled when they worked at their grand embroidery.

The employment of steel in the manu. iaelnTe il ,i oi irn-piate is rapidly increasing which steel can now be produced. and it is likely to lead to excellent results in a direction which was not contemplated. Those engaged in the canned and tinned meat trade. aware of the danger to health incurred by those who use this class of provisions. are beginning to insist that the tins should be made of steel instead of iron as heretofore The can production has now assumed such gigantic proportions that the employment of mild steel in this direction will necessarily be on large scale alSo

ALFILIRIA


 The scattering of the seed of the fila rec plant-for it can hardly be called grass-throughout the Tucson valley is oLly question of short tune. Sev- eral years ago a band of sheep from California brought sufficient supply of i the seed in theIr wool to seed the south western portion of Pinal county from the Willows south and west, and the northwestern portion of this county. It IS reported as doing well and spreading rapidly, and is a valuable acquisition to the spring pasturage. Within the past year or so the seed has been scattered about Tucson, and it will bs but short time when the entire valley will be seeded down in filaree. It is not peren- nial, but grows from the seed. It starts up early in the fall of the year, when there Is sufficient moisture to sprout the seed, and grows close to the ground un- til about the middle of February, when it rises to night of from six to eight inches. It affords fine pasturage for sheep, and is equally good for cattle when fully grown. It will grow all over the valleys and low mountains and foot hills of southern Arizona. It gets its growth and dies early in the spring, but 1t IS said to be excellent feed even after the stem and leaves are dead and thor oughly dried. Our ranchmen and oth- CTS interested in improving our grazing lands should take some pains to scatter the seed on such land as it would be likely to do well, and it will be but a short time until we shall have good sheep and cattle pasturage everywhere.
