WHAT ARE TOOLS.

The English language is susceptible of many interpretations. Recently the custom house made decision that may make them world of trouble. A few days ago seventeen trunks full of silken tights were held at the collectors office and pretty Agnes Huntington, the con signee, was notified that they were duti- able and that she owed Uncle Sam's treasury good round sum for buying her costumes abroad. In vain did the business manager and the financial packer of the fair singer attempt 10 con- vince the naughty customs officials of the errors of their ways. They remain ed obdurate and the silken goods re- mained with them. Thereupon Miss Huntington herself laid siege to the col lector's office. She made spirited ap- peal to the board of appraisers, if the veracious correspondent is trustworthy, and explained that she was an Amer- can girl, that she proposed to wear the disphanous costumes herself, and that the action of the board was directly op- posed to the interests of the public, which demanded high art and high heels behind the footlights. The board listened and was taken captive. The tights were admitted duty free under the classification "tools."
 But if the abbreviated skirts and silken tights of the tallet dancer are the tools of her trade and are to be ad- mitted duty free then why are not other people to be treated with like considera- tion? Why, for instance, should not the apparel of the dude be admitted free? His trade is to be fascinating, and his hat, his coat, his cane, his everything, in fact, are the tools of his trade. Or perhaps sex has something, in some way, to do with making tools of apparel. Then why tax the imported dresses of the butterflies of fashion, whose trade is to attract the men? In their business the clothing IS as much necessity as Is that of the ballet girl, and often is little less immodest.
 The soft-hearted custom house officials are liable to find this decision troubling them ia the future.

SKY ROCKET AND THE STICK

The returns of elections from those western states where the Farmers AL liance flourished last year like green bay tree present that abnormal growth in withered, leaaess and lifeless form. The Alliance went up, up, up last year like a giant skyrocket. It has come down, down, down this year like the stick. In Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota, where it throve in 1890, there have been local or state elections in which it has been shown that the All;- ance is literally wiped out. The Kan sss election is the most crushing. That state was the birthplace and hotbed of the Alliance. Peffer and Jerry Simp- son were the saints of the new political religion. They have been parading the country while their constituents at home have been learning their folly in putting such men into office. In the county elections four-ffths of the officers elected this year are Republicans or anti-Alliance men. Nebraska, where the Alliance made clean sweep last year, has elected Republican judge of the supreme court, although the Demo- cratic nominee to that office withdrew in favor of the Alliance candidate. The majority is large enough to make it sure that the Republicans will carry the state in the presidential election.
 In South Dakota there was a congres- Al m. state has not been divided into congress sianal districts, so the election was gem eral. The Republican candidate was elected bya good-sized majority. These are gratifying proofs of the renewed force and activity of Republicans in the west as we'll as of the decline of the third party movement.

lnere IS a SeNtle' Dyspepsia. man at Malden-on-
 the Hudson, N. Y., named Captain A. G. Pareis, who has written us a letter in which it is evident that he has made up his mind concerning some things, and this is what he says:
 1T have used your preparation called August Flower in my family for seven or eight years. It is con- stantly in my house, and we consider it the best remedy for Indigestion,
 and Constipation we Indigestion. have ever used or
 known. My wife is troubled with Dyspepsia, and at times suffers very much after eating. The August Flower, however, re- lieves the difficulty. My wife fre- quently says to me when I am going
 to town, We are out Constipation of August Flower,
 and I think you had better get another bottle l am also troubledwith Indigestion, and dwhen- ever I am, take one or two tea spoonfuls before eating, for day or two, and all trouble is removed" @

of great wealth to the territory. Verify, Arizona lis in it" every day in the year.

It has a bad look when people begin to accuse other people of plotting conspira- cies to ruin them, just out of pure ill will. Most persons are too busy with their own affairs to sit up nights plot ting against others. Accusations of dark plots and deep laid schemes are some times an evidence of incipient insanity, sometimes an attempt to cover up un- worthy transactions. The fearless man who attends to his own business has nothing to dread from anybody's plots. His very fearlessness and honesty pro- tect him.

NO USE, MIR. HILL.

The nomination of Flower for Cover. nor of New York practically eliminates Cleveland from the presidential race. kven in Buffalo the Cleveland faction of the Democra tic party was defeated and the Hill ring triumphant. Some of the scenes at the caucuses and conventions were disgraceful, but it was a case where Greek met Greek, and the fine Italian hand of Hill carried the day.
 In just what manner Hill expects to be benefited, however, is hard to sur. mise, although he has been successful in hanging the hide of his dreaded oppo- nent-to use a fgurative speech-upon the fence to dry. He has defeated Cleveland, but there is yet the Republi- can candidate in the way, and when Hill tackles that gentleman he will dis cover that it is not Grover he has to deal with.
 The clean record of this administra. ton backed by one of the wisest legisla- tive acts ever placed upon the statute books-the Mckinley law-will make the Republican candidate sn invin- cible foe.
 Hill is wasting great deal of time that might profitably be bestowed upon the two offices he is at present holding, which ought anyway to be about enough for one man.

HERE IS WHAT the Grand Junction (Col.) Necs has to say about the estab- lishment of canning factory:
 It is now a settled fact that the Fruit Crow CTS Association will establish canning factory in Grand Junction before the next fruit crop is harvested The results of the crop this year has set all doubt at rest, SO far as making it a paying institution is concerned, Tomatoes can be raised for a half cent per pound, or even less, and still afford a good profit. Fruit too ripe for shipment can also be utilized to good advantage and saved from total loss. We ought to be able to supply all tho canned fruits for the western slope.
 fla canning factory would pay in Col. orado, which by no stretch oi the imag- inative can be construed as fruit pro- ducing state, why would not similar en- terprises pay in Arizona? TaE REPuB-
 IcAN believes that the production of fruit is one of the chief resources of the territory, and not until there is mar ket for every pound of fruit grown, will this paper feel that it has done it's !nll duty as factor in the progress of Ar iZona

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN STATE.

It is we'll for the Democrats to parcel out the offices among themselves while they have a chance, for it is not likely that they will be permitted 90 revel in these pleasures much longer. The bill admitting Arizona as state will be passed by Republican Senate and signed by Republican president, and we have too much confidence in the peo- pie to believe that they will not remem- Der who were their friends.
 And besides the same pride that in- duces the people of Arizona to ask for statehood will impel them to wan. progressive state government, such as Democracy cannot give. As territory Arizona has been controlled by certain Democratic influences, but as state, with the in Aux Of immigration that will follow, . Arizona will proudly take place among her sisters of the Republican faith.
 In that grand galaxy of stars that in bloodshed and war, amid trials and tribulations, remained firm 10 the old flag, unshaken in allegiance to the government and offering up as sacri- ice on the altar of freedom millions of lives, will the new state of Arizona be found. The brave and hardy pioneers who nave for SO many years withstood the hardships of the frontier, because of their faith in Arizona, are too patriotic tO allow the new state to be anything hut progressive, which is syn onymous for Republican.

WASTED RESOURCES.

Thousands of dollars worth of fruit is annually wasted in the Salt river valley. II this was properly taken care of i, would not be necessary to ship fruit here from California as is now done. This is queston of grave importance and ought to have the thoughtful con sderation of every person interested in the development oi Arizona.
 Next tO mines and cattle as wealth product is fruit rais ing, but if our productions are to be wasted and fruit for home con sumption purchased in California, it is evidence of exceedingly bad manage on the part of the people of Arizona.
 California cannot produce fruit equal to that of Arizona, and not only should the home consumption be supplied but Arizona fruit ought to be iound in every eastern market as readily as the Caliior- mia brand. Let our people attend to .his matter and one very important item in the development of Arizona will have been accomplished.
