Wanted the Earth.

There wasn't dull passage in the comedy at Schieffelin Hall last night, and it was universally pro- nounced the best that has visited Tombstone in many year.
 John Dillon was irresistibly funny and kept the house in roar of laugh ter from the beginning of the first act in which G. Whitaker hides in the well curb tn the fetching reconcilia- ton with the Widow Van Dusen at the last. The play was clean and bright and the support uniformly good. Everybody was in love with the bride in her pretty Jenness Miller gown, and full of sympathy with the thrifty Flaxy, and even the snapping black::eyes of the fiery widow, who was bent on obtaining her ease for breach of promise, seemed to cast the same spell over the audience that they did over the rheumatic judge.

Why Us lt:

Fifty burros loaded with Tumaca- cori ore arrived yesterday, and forty more are expected to-day. This is the ore that MT. Ephraim is shipping to Europe for treatment. One car load of 2,5O0 tons left here in bond, Tuesday, consigned to Swansea, and another carload will leave next Mon day consigned to Freiburg, Germany, where is located the largest plant in Europe. The Freiburg company pays for every property contained in the ore that has a value, even to the minutest. Mir. Ephraim expects to get returns within five weeks from date of shipment. Now it does seem strange that ore produced within half days ride of Nogales, can be shipped by rail to New Orleans, there transferred to fast passenger steamer and fioated to Europe, a distance of some three thousand miles, at a much less ex- pense than if shipped to Pueblo ol Denver, Colo, and returns received ir about the same length of time.-No- gales Advertiser.

A Eighty Priest

A recent Los Angeles sensation is a runaway husband who proves to have been Father Donelly, a priest of high standing in the east, who fled from the church to marry a pretty girl, and after living with her for nearly year, deserted her to return to the priest hood. When the facts were made known, the Los Angeles priesthood came to her aid and gave her money to return to her friends in Chicago but they strongly denounce her faith less husband and say he never can return to the church.

Millions I'm It.

A land and irrigation company with an alleged capital of s5,0OO,OOO has been formed at Florence, and articles of incorporation were filed at that place on the 20th. The incorporators. says the Florence Tribune, are H
 Cummins of New Y ork, Judge Barnes of Tucson, and A. l.. Pogue of Indiana. The capital behind thIs company is sufficient to guarantee all the needed improvements that must be construct ed in order to bring this valley into due prominence as an agricultural center. This is to be an elaboration of the Florence Canal Compsny's work. In place of the present canal a much larger one will be made. The great dam will be an undertaking cas- lily within the means of the new com pany. Besides this, it is the intention of the association to purchase and locate land for use and improvement.

Bisbee enjoys among the mining towns of Arizona an enviable notoriety as the possessor of a large and well appointed library and reading room. To Mrs. Lewis Williams undoubtedly belongs the honor of:originating the movement through which we now en- joy as fine place of resort as may be found in the territory. As early as 1885 she began to agitate the subject and was instrumental in securing from Mir. Thurber of Wilbur, Thurber & Co.,, New York, the first contribu- ton of books. MT. Thurber also donated SlOO for the purchase of new books. At this time time the library was located in Ben Williams office, end whoever wished was welcome to go there and read at his leisure. So popular did the venture prove that it was soon found necessary to move the books to the Co.'S store. The Copper Queen Co. now took entire charge of the matter.
 The appetite for reading among the miners giew space and it was soon seen that even the store did not afford sufficient room. As result the pres ent commodious hall and reading room was erdcted, and this again will be enlarged in the near future to a 35x6O brick veneer, making an ele- gant and durable structure, of which Bisbee may we'll be proud.
 The Company then brought out Rev. J. G. Pritchard AS minister and librarian. They also furnished jan itor and fuel.
 The hall above is used for society meetings during the week and for re- ligious services on the Sabbath.
 The library now contains about HOO volumes, of which 150 to 200 are out all the time. The library is open from ' a. m- to g p. m. every day. Books are free to all. the only requirement being that they receive fair usage and be returned in a reas- enable time.

 With such opportunities for mental growth at hand the young men and women of Bisbee ought to go forth exceptionally well qualified for the duties of life, and it is the earnest hope of the management that such will be the result.

they become too cheap to bear the ex-
pense of exporting. He finds on exami-
nation that if he buys raw sugar and a
few other like articles, he car get them
into the United States without being
fna1lfor it. So he exchanges them for
raw sugar and other articles needed by
our trusts and sells to the trusts what
he is allowed to bring back as return
cargoes.
OF course, this is not intended to be
accepted as q statement Of the details
Of the trade, but it is a fair and accu-
rate outline Of the general course Of
our valley trade with Europe. But for
articles of foreign production now on
the free list, we would have no exports
at all, for there is not gold enough
loose in Europe or in the world to move
out any considerable portion of the sur
plus we produce or could produce in the
Mississippi valley if we were allowed to
exchange it freely on its merits at its
exchange value in comparison with
what we need most in exchange for it.
And this must always be remembered
that where for our valley surplus of
agricultural exports we are allowed to
take foreign products in exchange, it
is only and always for the primary
benefit of manufacturing corporations.
The republican party is in favor of
free trade-for the trusts only.
All articles on the free list, all
articles we can bring ia from abroad
without being fined for it under the
Mckinley bill, are for the use Of manu-
featuring corporations only. We are
forbidden to bring in a single dollars
worth of any article that is in a shape
in which we arc likely to be able to
use it at once
Convince the republican party that
free trade in any article will help the
trusts, and they will put that article on
the free list at once.
See how this works out in the Harri-
son-Blaine reciprocity Spanish
America is a farming country with nc
manufactured goods to sell. So the re.
publicans say to the exporters of the
farm products of Mississippi valley
s'Send your farm products to the South
American farmers, who have nothing
W CCAh III CCNARCbADhOA WIN bnC W hobo
and you can trade all you like as long
as you do not try to buy anything th'
trusts want to sell you"
There is nothing new about this. /
it simply the old republican plan o
free trade for the trusts only. We arr
only allowed to buy abroad what fh,
trusts want bought, and we are only al
lowed to sell abroad in the measure o
the quantities of foreign products tn,
trusts are Wiling ia have imported
We must either accept this Oh is
gold only with our exports, khicl
means no trade at all abroad and ruin
Gus prices at home.
This is the trouble with cotton now
and except in European famine year
it is the trouble with all the products o
the valley.
The republican rule works both ways
II is s'protection for the trusts only
and free trade for the trusts only
