 him "our fat contributor" and as MT. Griswold was at that time strangely spare, weighing little more than 100 pounds, the title struck him as a huge joke, and so he took for his nom de plume "The Fat Kontributor. His first notable work was on the Detroit Free Press. Later he succeeded Artemus Ward on the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and in 1863 took a place on the Cincinnati Times. Over work brought i'll health and weak eyes, and in 1864 he became dramatic man. ager Since then he has been both lect- urer and writer, and his rambling talks entitled "Injun Meal, American Antiquities, etc, have delighted many thousands. In 1872 he started The Fat Contributors Saturday Night, and in 1886 bought an interest in Texas Siftings, on which he was employed when his last illness came.

Another Imported Industry-Ginghnms.
 A news item from Massachusetts af- lords another illustration of the work ings of the Mckinley law. The Mitchell Manufacturing company, an offshoot Of the we'll known firm of A. M. Mitchell, Jr., & Sons, of Glasgow, manufacturers of some of the best Scotch ginghams in the world, have organized at Fitchburg. They have come to this country to en- gage in tho manufacture here, and they are making this seasons goods on hired looms in Philadelphia. s. Roger Mitchell who is president of the company just or ganized at Fitchburg, spent most of last summer travelling through the southern and middle states in search of the most desirable place to locate a new mill, and decided upon Fitchburg. Alexander A: Mitchell, his brother, will be associated with him in the active management or the Fitchburg enterprise. The building to be erected will be one story in height, S40 feet long and 125 wide. Ground will be broken for 1t as soon as spring open&

The farmers who may subscribe to the stock of the company will have vital and personal interest in the production of sugar beets.
 Farmers and capitalists can estimate the chances of loss and gain as well as the directors of the company, but it may be promised that agricultural land free from taxation forms safe investment, and that machinery which can be i'm ported free of duty and enjoys immu- nifty from taxation, is only subject to loss by fire, which can be covered by insurance.
 Land in Arizona will produce at least twenty tons of sugar beets per acre, twice annually.
 The market price will depend upon the quantity of saccharine.
 Sugar beets require neither bagging nor storage; but are cash at the miA, and the company might even be able to ad- vance money on unencumbered land de- voted to their cultivation.
 It is matter of consequence in some parts of Arizona that sugar beets ex- tract alkali from the soil better than any other production.
 After supplying the home market in Arizona with sugar, molasses, confec- tions, etc., transportation is the most serious question, and the smaller bulk the production of the country can be reduced into the better for the producer.
 Sugar will bear transportation better than hay, grain, or ores.
 A sugar mill at some railway depot with capacity of 100 tons per day, at $5 per ton for sugar beets, would be a great benefit to the farmers and mer- chants of Arizona.
 The cooperative system of offering the farmers one-half of the capital stock payable in the productions required for the mill has worked well in Germany and France, and in fact the cooperative system in every country is the out growth of civilization.
 The farmers interest in the company will be a guarantee to the nonresident shareholders of vigilant watchfulness over the management, and by united eff. fort a staple production may be intro duced in Arizona which will enliven the source of all permanent prosperity AGRICULTURE.
 It is not to be overlooked that after tho saccharine matter is extracted iron sugar beets the residium forms excellent food for sheep, cattle, hogs, poultry etc.. and nothing that comes from tn, soil is wasted.
 The cultivation of sugar beets may b' carried on by the least intelligent labor Indians, Mexicans, children may all b' employed in transplanting the beets ant gathering the crop. Only the mill re quires intelligent labor.
 Sugar industries are being started il many States of the Union less adapted by nature to the growth of saccharin products than Arizona, and an effort ol the part of the residents may encourag assistance from abroad.

NATIONAL ECONOMY (?)
OUR FREIGHT BILL NEARLY AS LARGE
 AS OUR TARIFF REVENUE.

One We Pay Abroad, the Other ws Dis burse at Home-We Might Save at Least
 Half of the Former-At the Same Time
 We Would Increase Our Business.
 We are indebted to Commissioner William w. Bates for the following comparative statement of the customs tariff revenue and the freighting charges paid foreign shipping for the years 1870 to 1890, inclusive, on the basis of 15 per cent. on the valuation of merchandise carried, which is believed to be approxi- mately correct for the commerce of the United States:

 Time IIumorists to Go.
 A. Miner Gri,wold, whose death from apoplexy was recently announced, may be chased as the last of the old set of humorists - these who attained some prominence before the war. There was a peculiar break, if one may call it such, in the succession during the war, and though Artemus Ward, MT. Griswold and few others survived through vari- GUS terms, whole school of old style humorists-John Phoenix and his cotem- poraries-seemed to drop out of literature at once and be succeeded by men who wrote in totally different vein. MT. Griswold was born in 1886, in Oneida county. N. Y., and was known in jour
Arizona republican., 1891-05-08

The period begins with ratio of for eign freighting tax to customs revenue of 49 per cent. and ends with ratio of 90 per cent In 1876 the foreign freight ing tax exceeded tariff revenue by $7,- 428, ,S16, in 1878 it exceeded it by &, ,097,- SEQ, and in the year 1879 by $200, ,253. For the whole period (twenty-one years) the average ratio of foreign ship transfer charges to revenue for tariff was S4 per cent. For an average of ten years past the ratio was S6. l2 per cent. and for the last two years S6.22 per cent.
 The customs revenue represents money disbursed at home. The foreign freight ing tax represents money paid abroad. The tariff revenue for support of govern ment we must always have. It Is in large part paid by foreigners. But the freight money paid to foreign shipping, nearly all of it by our own people, may be dispensed with by having shipping of our own, and paying our own people for building, manning and sailing it. We should cease, as fast as possible, the pay ing of at least half the tax now collected by foreign vessels annually. In other words, there is in sight $l00, ,000,00 of ocean transportation which we should recover into the hands of our own peo- pie, besides the gains to be made from an increase of foreign commerce con- sequent upon cur retaking and holding our place on the sea.
 To increase our transportation in the foreign trade is to increase our business with foreign countries. It is to enlarge credit and decrease debt abroad. In our present situation the increase of trans portation is even more important than the increase of commerce, because the na- tional defence demands the former, while the national economy requires the latter, and trade is not comparable with safety. Navigation comes before commerce as a road before travel, or bridge before crossing. Transportation ill the foreign trade is the national balance wheel of for eign commerce. Opulence, power and independence may easily be lost by neg lecting the practice of shipbuilding and giving up the business of transportation in the foreign trade

HARTFORD, March 1.-Before Judge
Freeman yesterday in the probate court,
Saturday, two claimants to the $12, 500,
left by the late Charles McLaren, were
represented by lawyers. It was at first
thought the deceased left no heirs, and
that the money would therefore go to the
state. McLaren came here from Strathlay,
Scotland. Mrs Frazer, of Strathlay, is a
relative of deceased and her daughter lives
in Hartford. Attorney Downey of Water
bury, also appeared before the court in be-
half of John McLaren of New York, a
brother of deceased. The two brothers
has not heard from each other in twenty
five years, and each supposed the other to
be dead. George G.. Sumner was appointed
administrator Of the state. He was for
years an intimate friend of deceased.

NEW YORK, Feb. %.
The weeks business in stocks were merely a
movement of few different sp ecalties in differ
emit directions, owing to special causes peculiar
to each case. Burlington is nearly points lower
than week ago, as the result of the reduction on

settling down of the price is merely the gravita-

though as it is still about IS points higher than

a considerable margin yet either for further
