WE'LL oowE YOUR TAILOR.

Vexatious, But Sees No Help
for 1t.
New York Sun.
A Fifth avenue tailor. who makes
clothes for ultra fashionables at fancy
prices, was talking a short time ago
about the difficulty he had in collecting
from man about town.
''He is worth the money" he said;
''his income is large, and he would come
right down with the cash if should sue
him; but don't dare to sue him. you
see, and he knows / don't. As it is, the
balance is only about S400, and what's
that to the yearly profit I've made out
of him these last eight years. No, sir:
can much better afford to lose that
than to appear as plaintiff in u suit i'll
court.
do you know, few people pay me
cash. don't expect it. No matter
who orders clothes here, expect to
give six months credit. and confidently
expect TO be asked to extend up to two
and half years. This is the price of
having a fashinabie trade. The prices
charge don't more than make up the
large sums / lose altogether, pay the
interest on the capital | have out to my
customers, and leave fair profit on my
business.
do you know that it is considered
the proper thing in awfully swell cir
Giles to owe ones tailor2 No? Well,
assure you it is so. The precedent
was set a few years ago. by one OF the
LOndOn's bowling swells, a man with
$4,000 year. He owed all the swell
tailors of London. He let the bills run
for years in some cases, and rather put
himself in the way of dunS. lie
used to drawl the story of how
this tailor and that was 'baw-
among his club friends. III no time all
the swe!ls in town were doing the same
thing, till now, / assure you, 1t takes
big capital to run swell tailor shop in
London. OF course, the fashion caught
on this side. There arc lots of men
in this town who spend piles of
money yearly, live in the most
expensive fashion and pay cash
as they go to everybody except
their tailor 1t is a matter of honor
with them to meet every obligation on
time. But it is matter of fashion to
owe their tailor. You see the fashiona-
bic tailor has hard course to steer. l
get angry when | think that / don't
dare to sue some men l know. For in
stance. you see that man there. DOyou
know him?"
"Why, isn't that" began the Wis
itor.
Don't name him." interrupted the
tailor. He is known from end to end
of this country, as intimately in Wash
ington as in New York. He is an astute
and successful politician, patron of
the race tracks, and the owner of fine
horses, the pet of clubs, and society,
a wealthy man, and the son of
wealthy man. That man has just Or
dered 800 worth of clothes from me. l
don't dare either to refuse him or 10
sue him for his existing Indebtedness.
1t may surprise you to know that,
though he has dealt here for years, he
owes me great deal more than he has
paid me on account, and 1t is over a
year since he has paid a single cent?

GENERAL PURPOSE FARMER.
He Should Know and Be Able to
DO Most Everything i'm His Line.

nv AAoHN N''hhs- us
In some places farmers run to corn;
in others, broom corn; and again in
others. to fax, etc, bat, if you have OBJ
served closely, you will not fail to no.
tice that where one made a success of
this specially farming, there were ten
who failed. says correspondent of the
Farmers Call. A farmer, to be one in
every sense of the word. should be able
to plant reasonable acreage of the va
rious crops, as they can be planted in
their season without interfering with
the cultivation or the planting of other
crops. His time should be so divided
with his various paintings that no over
taxing of his working abilities will Oc-
cur at any one season of the year, and
idleness result at another. The sue
ceSSful farmer has no spare time for
loating at the corner grocery, but can
employ himself with the various odds
and ends OF the great endless variety
of planting, filling, gathering and stor
ing of farm products; the repairing of
fences and machinery, or the many
other chores that are always certain to
arise. But the farm hand. and often
the farmer himself, will complain that
this gives no rest from the laborS of the
year. ms Is mainly true. but MS Ia
bors are so various, his duties so widely
diversified over the months of the year,
that in change of labor there is rest;
and he is his own Judge the greater part
of the time of the amount of work he
Is compelled to perform in day
or week, and can govern himself ac-
cordingly. But in what other vocation
of life, carried on successfully, can this
be said? When do their resting spells
come in? Only ut sacrifice of time
and salary, or business. The business
men of the city get no relief from their
monotonous toil-the same round of
duties day after day; this they are COM
PEELED TO do or business failure results.
The general purpose farmer is the sue
ceSsful one, especially where small
capital is invested; and to be able to
farm all crops combined with stock of
various kinds, will bring in money at
all seasons of the year. and produce
happier and better results than any
other vocation that is 10 be found in this
life, less worry, more contentment, and
better results in the end.

THE Sheep Breeder and Wool Grow CT, an excellent and widely circulated magazine, published at Chicago, in the exclusive interests of wool growers, reproduces in it's last issue six columns from our pamphlet, "A land of Sun shine" recently issued from this office. The matter copied refers to the great natural resources of this section, and goes extensively into the details of our sheep growing industry. This demon strates not only the wide circulation given to our work, but also the merits of its contents, which were such as to call forth recognition from one of the leading periodicals of the Uuited States. As a result of its issue Flagstaff is now enjoying a very extensive and most profitable process of advertisement.

IT is said that about one hundred members of the House are booked" to speak on the tariff question. At the rate of about two speeches day, which is about as much eloquence and logic of this kind as any legislative body can endure long and live, this would con sume about two months, The pros pect that the House will reach final vote on the tariff bill much before the Fourth of July does not seem to be very alluring at this moment.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY ooNvE ATloN.

Last Saturday the Republicans of Yavapai County held convention at Prescott for the purpose of electing twenty delegates to the Territorial Convention held at Phenix on the 25th inst. Lively competition characterized the proceedings, but Prescott was well prepared, her strength was carefully hoarded and she got away with the greater portion of the representation, Outside precincts were rigidly excluded from showing among the delegates elected, notably Flagstaff, Williams, the Verde, and other points of voting importance. ......
 Though the Tritle ticket was undoubt- edly the choice of the people, its fol lowing was forced into minority by the Prescott element, which was in favor of L. F, Eggers. However, the minority made most gallant struggle, and though hopelessly outnumbered, they gave the Eggers following nine hours of active exercise.
 ". s. Head, of the Verde, and w. G. Stewart, of Flagstaff, led the Tritle forces, and under hopeless disadvan- tage they led the way to the very portals of victory.
 Mir. Tinker placed in nomination D. NJ. Riordan and J. R. Fitzpatrick, of Flagstaff, and w. S. Head, of Camp Verde. w. G. Stewart nominated Al Doyle and J. B. Thomas, of Flagstaff. w. $. Head named E. H. Witherell. of the Black Hills, one of the leading stockmen of the county. These were practically the only gentlemen nomin- ated living outside of Prescott, and they of course, were defeated.
 A resolution to ballot for the choice of the convention for delegate to Chi cago was offered by W. S. Head, which was lost, Instead of this one was adopted which instructed the delega- to support Col, Eggers in the Ierritor- ial Convention. Everything was made to conform to the interests of the Pres colt manipulators, and the utter sell fishness exhibited is to be as much re- gretted as it is deprecated.
 The CHAMPION has no fault to find with the results of the convention--it simply criticises the methods through which they were attained. No neces- sity existed for crowding the northern precincts from representation. Recog- milton, not authority, was all they asked and in denying such reasonable conces- siCu, Prescott has not strengthened her political empire.

MAYOR HEWITT has sent to the board of aldermen letter explanatory of his action in refusing to permit the Irish flag to be raised over city hall on St. Patrick's day. He makes a careful analysis of the law bearing on the sub ject and concludes that the danger line is reached "where we must decide if native or foreign ideas are to rule this city" He says that as it is part of the Irish demand for home rule, that the Irish should rule Ireland, so they should concede the right of Americans to rule America.
