ARIZONA APRICOTs.

Prophet Potts left at the Times
 sanctum yesterday a little box of ripe apricots. They are two weeks earlier than the first apricots gen. erally imported from the upper country. and full month earlier than those which ripen here. Mir. Potts fruit was grown in the Salt river valley, near Phoenix, Arizona. This is the section about whose fertility, water supply and general resources so much has recently been said. MT. Potts holds that, # fine fruit can be produced there so much earlier than in California, there is good thing in growing it. In conjunction with his brother, he has made arrangements to plant thirty acres near Phoenix, and has shipped trees from here for that purpose. He plants mostly of apricots.
 MT. Potts recalls the time. Tn his pioneering days, when his brother inlaw drove out to the territory with four horse team. taking forty bushels of apples as his cargo. The fruit was sold in and near Prescott at 40 to 50 cents pound and the venture netted $500. The trip out and back required about six weeks.
 The prospects, in view of the Salt river development are that Arizona will some day send back a Roland for our Oliver, supply ing this section with early high priced fruit.-Los Angeles Times.

FIVE years ago the possibility of
 Arizona ever shipping fruit to Cal ifornia would have been laughed
 at as an absurdity. Five years
 hence the possibility will have be-
 come an established fact, and an
 important factor in the financial
 economy of the territory. Where
 ever water can be placed on the sandy plains of Arizona there fruit
 trees and vines will flourish. Our climate is such that fruits will ripen fully three weeks in advance of those of the famous Vaca Valley in Solano county California, from which the first fruits of the season are obtained for the San Francis co markets, and with care in the selection of the trees planted and in their cultivation, Arizona should control a large portion of this profitable trade. Graham county should not be behind in securing its own share. The time will come when all available lands on the Gi- la, and every little nook along the San Francisco will be in orchard | and vineyard, aud cheap lands a thing of the past. We have the 1 same advantages of soil. climate and water which Southern Califor- mia possesses, and are nearer by ! two days to the markets of the l great Eastern cities, and are lack ing only in vim and push to be as prosperous.

 Or industries connected witl the fruit business, one of the most profitable is the curing of raisins
 Vines of the European varieties, suitable to this branch of the grape business, such as the Muscat, seed less Sultana and others will flour ish in this county, and the long, hot dry summers with which we are inflicted, will cure the grapes into the finest raisins, surely and quickly.
 A portion of the large revenue annually contributed to Spain, a sort of tribute from the plum pud- ding loving stomachs of the Amer ican people, ought to be diverted to Arizona. Plant vines, convert the grapes into raisins and keep the cash at home,-Arizona mean time dividing the spells with Cali fornia.

THE Apaches have split up into small squads and are scattering ID various directions. The com mands of Lawton and Lebo are reported to be on the trail of the main body. Near Pantano, a party Of eleven Indians stole a boy and nude their way with their captive into the Santa Catallnas. At the Mescal Ranch near the Custom House at Polomenas, another body of Indians, killed a couple of Mex jeans, and at the San Pedro river attacked three teamsters killing two and wounding the third, who however, made his escape. Upon receipt of the news party from Bisbee started in pursuit, A great deal of excitement prevails in the Dragons, where several men have been murdered. The report which reached Clifton Sunday of an h. dian trail crossing the Gila near Sheldon appears to be without foundation.
 A company of colored cavalry have been in station near Ash Springs and another company at the month of the Frisco. A des- patch was received in Clifton. Mon day morning that a small band of Indians were seen near Fort Grant and that they were probably mak- ing their way towards Ash Springs. |

Capital VS.. Labor,

For the ENQUIRER
A majority of our best thinkers agree
that land monopoly is the foundation
evil that aft1icts society. The startling
aggregation of OWNERSHIP in land, cor
responding to the increase of labor
troubles, is proof that want of land ls
one of the greatest wants of the people,
The crisis has come, but civil war can
be averted, if legislators will acr
promptly and judlciously.
Every foot of United States land not
needed for government use should be
held for unemployed workmen.
Land should be purchased by national
and state governments, located where
most needed, for the use of employed
people. No land belonging to the state
or nation should ever be sold,
The funds for this purpose can be
raised
1. By direct head tax.
II. A graduated income tax.
III. Unclaimed estates.
". A tax upon labor saving ma
chinery.
V. Fines paid for all violations Of
labor laws.
vi, The profits of banking when the
nation shall issue money direct to the
people. when this is done, the for
feited lands for money borrowed, should
remain as peoples lands.
VII. A head tax upon immigrants
None but prospective citizens should bt
allowed to land upon our shores as i'm
migrants.
VIII. Seventy-fve per cent of th'
rents and profits of lands owned BY
aliens residing in foreign countries.
TX. Donations and bequests.
AS fast as possible railroads, telegraphs
telephones and the property of all cor
porations acquired by fright of eminen
domain" should belong to the people
Mines of every description should neve
have been sold by the government, ant

A Correction,

Editor Labor Enquirer
l must ask for the correction of a mis-
print in The ENQUIRER of April 3, which
makes me speak dlsrespectfully of the
continental congress of 1776. 1t should
have read 1886. One represented peo-
pie entering great struggle for liberty
and it represented them to the fullest
extent, while the other, though only ten
years later. represented nothing. 1t was
a weak, struggling attempt to govern the
people, while the other had been a Wig
orous attempt to serve the people. The
first was honored, the second despised,
and both were justly treated.
l would not do that glorious congress
of 1776 the discredit of Comparison
with the present congress, but think
the congress of 1856 may be well COM
pared with the present congress.

original cost paid to the present owners.
The same may be said of the shores of
all waters containing food for the people.
The time will come when occupation
will be the only valid title to land. Be-
fore the late war Garret Smith called a
convention to discuss the feasibility of
compensation to the owners of slaves.
He did not receive sufficient encourage
ment and i remember his sorrowful and
prophetic words at the time of his dis
appointment. Had the people realized
as he did, what was coming, a costly am
phitheater would have been built to ac-
commodate his convention. He was
treated with contempt. Now the people
can plead no want of foresight. The
phantastic scintillations of boreal splen-
dor that lit up the heavens two or three
years ago, was not more distinct than
the signs of the times which anyone can
read. Determined Workingmen are
striving to obtain what they believe 10
be a just Distribution of the products of
their labor powerful cap. talists believe
in the rights of property and the aristoc-
raCy of land ownership, even if the
workmen starve. But what Is still more
ominous, is the fact that wage workers
are getting too intelligent to suffer while
food and clothing are piled up within
reach.
The slave owners ought to become
wise also and yield to what is just, before
the pet tiger grows too large and gets a
taste of blood. In the winter of 1860 81,
few of our leading men would sacrifice
anything for peace, but a few months
later they were willing to give all they
had to carry on the war. The temper
of the parties is too we'll known to need
further discussion now One fact should
be taken into serious consideration.
The destruction of property, saying moth
ing of lifs, in citizen war of two years,
would be more than 100 times the cost
of present reliefin the manner proposed.

heard yesterday the first true version Of
the monkey and hand organ story which has
been privately told in army circles here now
and then, but not always correctly. A
Treasury official said: Well, General
Butler, I have no doubt these accounts are
all right, and If you will explain satisfactory
ly one other item will pass them. Here is
a charge Of $50 for hand organ and a
monkey. Now, what possible use a hand
organ and monkey would be to the United
States Government, or to you as its Gener-
al, cannot see."
General Butler then told the following /.
" 1t was the hottest time of my campaign
about Baltimore. The rebels were very
close-mouthed, and could get no inside
news of the doings of the rebels. One day
| saw great crowd gathering round man
with hand organ who had very large
monkey As drew nearer noticed that
the man playing the organ looked very
much like smart Irishman whom had
among my soldiers. / said nothing, but
went back to my headquarters, and called
up the Irishman, In whom had perfect
confidence. / gave him some money and
told him TO go and buy out the musician
He did SO. He bought the hand organ, the
monkey and tho musicians clothes, and
paid $50 for them. Dressed in these sent
him out as a spy. He travelled oil the sur
rounding country and gave me some very
valuable information. This information
was worth thousands of dollars to the
United States Government, and" concluded
General Butler, "you can thus see why il
paid the United States to pay $50 for I
hand organ and monkey"
It is needless to say that tho explanation
was satisfactory.

Swift fiame shot out Of every crystal spire.
