 STRONG HORSERADlSH.

It Did Everything in Horse Languas>
 Except Secure Customer.
 The young man had been a groom at the riding school and had also been en- ployed at sale stable. Still, the knowl- edge that he had acquired at these places did not serve him well, now that he was engaged as clerk in grocery store on Sixth avenue.
 One day young lady came in the store and asked the clerk if they had any horseradish.
 "Hossradish? I should say we have, ' exclaimed the young man. "We prob ably have the most remarkable hoss- radish in the market" and he pulled down bottle, covered with the dust of ages. and rolled it along the counter.
 "Observe its gait" he continued with enthusiasm. There's hossradish that I can recommend. There's an A No. 1 family hossradish. can warrant it to work anywhere. It will drag a family carriage, on heavy track, in 2:40."
 The young lady looked at the clerk with some astorishment. She wanted the horseradish, however, and ventured to ask if 1t was strong.
 Strong echoed the clerk; "why, it's as strong as steam stump puller. Its the strongest hossradish that ever looked through collar. You can take it right out of your phaeton, after whirl around Central park, hitch it to stone boat, and if it doesn't pull more than loco .,o ~l,,h is, it's a heavy draught hossradish, with the swiftness and endurance of Salvador. !"
 T meant to ask," said the young lady, somewhat confused, If it is sharp does it bite:'
 Bite? No; it's gentle as a sucking dove; wouldn't bite the smallest child. It seems kind O sad like when it has to take the bit in its mouth. Oh, no; it wouldn't bite a piece of molasses candy. And kick? You couldn't make that hossradish kick if you tickled it with a straw" and the clerk punched the bottle in the ribs as proof of its excellent dis position.
 The young lady did not seem entirely satisfied with the recommendation, and took the bottle up to examine it more closely.
 That's right, said the affable young man; "look it over carefully. Examine it closely for ringbone, spavin, quarter crack, heaves, thumps, humps, bumps dumps, grumps or anything else under the shining sun. If you find it is not as sound as a dollar, the hossra:iish is yours without costing you red cent, and with a nice set of silver mounted harncS, thrown in. Shall wrap it up:'
 The young lady said she would no take it along now, but might call latel with halter to lead it home-Rive, and Driver.

RAILWAY MATTERS.

F IT keeps three large Chicago factories busy to manufacture the locomotive headlights and railroad lanterns that are used in this country. The facto- ries give employment to HOO men and boys.
 AN Italian engineer has originated a system by which he proposes to utilize the power of trains running down grade. He has perfected a machine for com pressing air as the train goes down grade, which can be used to actuate a motor at the will of the engineer, and be used to assist the locomotive on up grades.
 THE largest locomotive ever made weighs nearly one hundred tons, and was recently turned out by the Bald win locomotive works, Philadelphia. It has five pairs of driving wheels, the firebox is eleven feet long, and is guar anteed to haul seven hundred and sixty tons up a grade one hundred and five feet to the mile.
 AN experiment has been made on a railroad between Rome and Frascati with new combustible prepared from Ignite, rich deposits of which have been found in Italy. Of the new fuel three hundred and sixty-seven kilo- grams did the work of three hundred kilograms of coal. 1t is thought the discovery will obviate the necessity of importing coal

A DISTINGUISHED HONOR.

While Collector Christ was in Wash ington he received letter from Col. J . $. CIarkson, President of the National Republican League, asking him to ac- cept the position of organizer for Arizona. The letter which we have been permitted to read, not only speaks in the highest terms of MT. Christ as a republican, a gentleman of experience and standing and a worker as a member of the national republican committee, but contains flattering al- fusion to Arlzona's great mining, stock and agricultural possibilities, her rapid advancement in every direction, and tie extraordinarily large number of able men who are here as permanent citl- gems.
 After considering the matter carefully MT. Christ accepted the offer of his distinguished frend and will as soon as official duties permit, enter upon the work.
 It IS an honor of which MT. Christ may be proud, one he appreciates and a station which he will fill in an admirable manner.
 The foregoing is an excerpt from the Nogales Herald, MT. Christ's home. It but re-echoes the general sentiment of southern Arizona in regard to that gentleman. His republicanism needs no oommendatioHs from anyone. lit is there to stay, as MT. Christ is with Arizona. AS a worker in the cause he is inde- fatigable and more than that, to the consternation of his enemies, he gener- ally "gets there" in everything he starts out to accomplish. His appointment by MT. Clarkson, as chief organizer of the republicans in Arizona, unequivocally meets the appreciation of the republi- cans as whole and much good We hope will result therefrom.

STAND BY PROTECTION.

No surprise seems justified by the fact that the Mckinley tariff does not suit the men who have assumed the task of ''tariff reform" in accordance with the British standard. Farmers of the exist ing law found inspiration closer home than Europe, and they laid a tariff along those lines indicated by the founders of our Republic and the law makers in its first congress. Of course this could not be done without existing op- position from free trade attorneys, as such opposition is the only excuse for their existhnce.
 Bat the real facts of the situation, at any time since the passage of the new tariff law, have in no wise warranted their bitter opposition to its enactment or thelr determined efforts for its repeal Immediately following its posssge, and before some of its most important pro- visions were in force, its influence for good was manifested in the renewed as- surance gwen to capital that the great body of American voters might still be relied on to maintain the traditional defense against foreign competition made necessary by the advance standard of wages and living prevailing in this country. IE many localities, factories long idle or materially restricted in out put by enforced division of the domestic market with fereign competitors, were given with new life, skilled operatives found opportunity for steadier employ ment than before at wages enabling them to live as becomes American citi zens, without ahy material advance in the cost of manufactured products as they reach the hands Of ultimate con- sumers.
 Meyer in the history of this country could more of the neceSSaries and lux urias of life be obtained by honest effort than since the Mckinley bill became law, despite the early prophecies of Its opponent that the reverse of this would follow its passage, and their subsequent efforts to insure confirmation of their dolesome predictions.
 In the face of this array of facts free trade promoters serve notice of a contin- uance of thelr crusade against the policy by which all of this has been brought about. By way of preliminaries, thread bare arguments are being patched in to shape, oft refuted prophecies are be- ing placed in the mouths of spokesmen, and the hObgoblin of high prices is marched to the front to scare voters into support of free foreign trade. Ia short, history is to report Its record of past efforts to substitute British politi- cal economy for the policy of protection of home industry under which our country has made phenomenal ad- vancement. Let patriotic voters see to it that the same page shows that hls- tory shall further repeat itself by record ing the overwhelming details of this re newed attempt at checking the pros perity of the worlds greatest republic.

THE Brooklyn Eagle. of July 29th contains an account of dinner given by Walter s. Logan, at the Marine and Field club, Bath Beach, complimentary to John N. Irwin, Governor of Arizona, and H. H. Logan. It is described as an elaborate affair, at which two hundred covers were laid, many of the guests being men of destinction. Governor Irwin's speech. as reproduced in the Eagle, IS bright and effective, and very different from the garbled report tele- grsphed to the territorial press. It is a we'll considered and truthful tribute to Arlzona's worth, and calculated to disabuse the minds of eastern readers of the enormous impressions formed of our territory.-Silyer Belt.

THE Republican doesn't like MT. Christ, neither does 1t like General Clsrkson for his recognition of him. We regret this very much as we had hoped that all training under the Re- publican banner would let by zones be by.gones, and the unrepublican person slities of the last campaign be allowed Co die where they were born-ln the snimus of rival ambitions. Unfortunate ly this is not to be so, but the seeds Of dissension are to be again sown to the prejudice of good party discipline. This is evidenced by the fact that the Re- publican charges MT. Christ with cor ruption in having made personal use ot money intended for the National Republi- can Committee. We always believe in be- ing fair ana will rot knowingly wrong an innocent man. Neither will we cover up the sins and shortcomings of the guilty if public or party interests de- mand an exposure. In this faith we de- pIcCl6b0 JUG CuhIStb uoOo dkaAASb NAA' Christ, but it is consolation to know that that they are old and harmless. They were matched out and did service st the time Mir. Christ's enemies strained their backs in an effort to beat his can didRcy for his present responsible and distinguished position. They were care fully examined into and pronounced groundless. Every dollar had been strict ly accounted for, and if proof of thls IS wanting We most respectfully refer those sufficiently interested in the matter to the chairman or treasurer of the Nation al Republican Committee: If the par ties making these charges have proof, let them put it before the people. It will, however, take more than ancient antiquities to convince them that such is the fact. The fact of an Investigating committee which exonorated NIT. Christ cannot be so easily set aside. Let us have peace.

WHILE the public, says the Scientif American, is still marveling over Salvs- tors wonderful performance in running 8 mile in 1.3511, there are few who have, through comparison and analysls, sought to realize what terrific burst of speed this is. It is nearly forty miles an hour "a rate averaged by very few of our fastest railway trains. There are 5,2S0 feet in a mile, so that for every one of these ninety-hve seconds-for every beat of mans pulse-thIs wonderful horse covered fifty-five and three tenths feet of ground. The shortest space of time noted by the turfman's watch is a quarter of a second-an interval so brief that the eye can hardly observe, the mind can hardly appreciate it. Yet Tn every one of those 3S2 quarters of 8 second that magnificent creature leaped sixteen and three tenths feet. Such are the amazing results of careful eeding as exhibited by the American race horse.

THE latest political gossip at Wash ington is to the effect that MT. Noble did offer his resignation to the president several weeks ago, and upon the ground of ill-health asked to be relieved of his duties in the interior department. The president expressed an unwillingness to allow MT. Noble to go at that time, say ing that be expected soon to lose Mir. Proctor from the war department, and that he desired to make some changes folloRing that resignation and with drawal. Then he intimated that he hoped to induce Robert T. Lincoln, minister to England, to take the place of Secretary Proctor, and that if MT Lincoln would agree 10 that appoint ment, Mir. Noble should be sent as min lster to England. Il. 4. Times.

THE condition of the German keiser is sad to be serious, and another turn of the European wheel may be looked for as result. To an average mortal on this side of the frog pond, it seems strange that the peace or WAT of half the civilized earth should depend on the whims or wishes of any one man. Give the keiser or czar the colc and every man in Europe stands to his gun till the trouble is over. These one-man machines will be a roaring farce, and treated as such within the not distant future.

He is the son of a lawyer, and his admiration for his father has led him to announce frequently that when he became a man he intended to be in ''iust the same business as papa" He fell i'll, however, and the services of the family physician were sought with prompt and fortuitous effect. Convalescence is apt to engender reflection, and the small Robert became thoughtful the other af- ternoon, with this result: ''I guess, man. ma," he said, apropos of nothing, Twill not be in papa's business when grow up. would rather be doctor, because, you see, he can't die.

ON Tuesday the board of trade re ceived a telegram from the secretary of the Southern California Editorial asso- citation, saying that the proposed visit of that body to Flagstaff this month had been indefinitely postponed. We pre- sume that the cause of this is the failure of the association to secure trarsporta- tion over the A. & P. We are certainly disappointed and sorry that such is the case, still it is probably better for all concerned that it should be thus, as the editors Will undoubtedly visit Flagstaff next summer, when our people will be better situated to entertain them. We are not alone sorry for ourselves, but for the members of the association also, as they are missing one of the grandest treats Of lifetime in not being able to carry out their plans and visit Flagstaff. In the meantime we trust that our brethren Of the Pacific coast will not be come discouraged, but come cut and see us next year.
 We rise to remark right here that the sorrow expressed by the Coconino Sun from which the above was taken, does not end with it, but extends down this way for a considerable distance.
