Hersey. He asked him if he knew of any
pension office employees who furnished in

THE tailors OF this town claim to
have a real grievance, and the the CITI-
IN has been asked to bring the matter
before the public for consideration. The
fact of the matter Is that they have al
most been driven out Of business by
commercial agents who undeTbid them
in the matter of clothing and take from
the town a large voIume of trade that
should, by all manner OF fairness, stay
with it. On the other hand it is claimed
by patrons of foreign trade, that the
tailors as a rule charge too much for
their wares and that suit of clothe
purchased at home costs half is much
again than if bought elsewhere. Thi'
may be and probably is true to a large
extent, but it soon becomes apparent to
the wearer OF the clothes that there is
also a vast difference il the quality of
the goods as well as in the price. HON
made clothes Lay cost more but the ma
terial in them and the manner of thir
make is infinitely better, and there are
many reasons why this should be SO.
1t is not possible that these travelling
statesmen can give as good material in a
suit of clothes as a resident tailor can
for tie same price, for the reason that
their expenses are out Of ali propors
ton one with the other. The expense

heavy. He pays first~class trar sporta
ton fares, bolrds at irst-class hotels
and must perforce be always liberal
with his money 10 places of public re
sort. To do this he must make al
enormous profit or his wares. for, as a
rule, money and not health is the cou
sideration. Who then foots the bills?
The customer of course, for the houst
or firm represented must also be paid
their profits on the goods sold. Thes,
taken together with the expenses Of tbs
agent utterly preclude the posslbilit!

terial at first hands in the east. The
goods they sell are as represented, and
can be depended on, and although then
prices may appear high, it is very evid
ent that they do not get rich but the
difference goes INTO the material and
make of the clothes with which they
supply. In the end it is always cheaper
to buy at home than it is to send away
for goods.

REPRESENTATIVE KITGoRE, of Texas,
whose only claim to craftsmanship was
obtained by kicking open one of the
doors to the chamber of the house of
representatives. during the ffty-first con-
gress, has become temporarily promi
nent again through an action just about
as creditable as the first one. When the
joint resolution authorizing the secretary
of the navy to charter steamer to carry

starving people of Russia by warm
hearted Americans had been passed by
the senate and an attempt was made to
get unanimous consent to make it up in
the house Kilgore upended hemself and
shouted 81 object" The next day, when
the resolution was before the house
again, Kilgore was joined by numerous
members Of the peanut wing OF the dem
ocratic party in opposing the resolution
and in spite of a solid republican vote
and the assistance of some democrats,
the resolution was defeated. For Russia,
as government, we have no love, but
the sympathy for a starving people
should be as wide as the earth's domain
Citizens OF the United States contribut-
ed largely of their means to relieve the
famine stricken districts of the car and it
would have been in accord with the heart
of this great republic to have chartered
a ship to convey the grain to Russia.

An arrival at San Antonio from Pie

Sonora. A report direct from Ascon-
sion, Sonora, reports an outbreak there.
Nothing has been heard from Durango,
but it is known that Disturbances have

real revolution under way, it does not
come to head. CARA has been kept on

In Durango the famine will favor revolt.
1t is said that the revolutionists can gel
all the arms and ammunition they
want from the United States. Possibly
some individual or corporate American
interests may have point to make in
this connection. There are holders of
lands, mines and franchises in northern
Mexico who would make money by an
nexation. A successful revelation
would tend in that direction. The re.
cent report that the revolutionists in
tend to split of from Mexico and erect
an Independent state was significant 1.-THE
adhesion to CARA OF so many Mexicans

dence and good wishes of our govern

ARIZONA, having held constitutional
convention and formulated an organic
law before an enabling act had been
passed by congress, and in face of tie
fact that congress may not adopt such
az act at all, is awakening to a conscious
ness of the fact that perhaps she has
gone at the matter backwards. Even il
congress takes favorable action, an
other constitutional convention may
have to be held, and unless the same
body of men is called together again
there is no certainty that the present
constitution will be duplicated. Thus it
appears that the too-prevlous people of
the territory have had their trouble for
their pains. But then they have ac-
auired "a heap of experience" and that
counts for something. Il. A. Times.
IL congress passes an enabling act and
orders another constitutional conven
ton, there ought, 10 all justice, be an
other election of delegates. The handi-
work Of the last convention would IN
that case never be repeated, for the rea-
son that "a heap OF experience" has been
gained. We do not, however, anticipate
the need of another convention to
make a constitution as a whole, but un-
less We much mistake the purport and
meaning OF the presidents last messae e
to congress the Objectionable water
clause will have to De modified. This
we believe should be done in the inter-
ests of the people, and we furthermore
believe that the test oath should like
wise be inserted. If il is not done the
Mormons will dominate the politics of
be territory and for one we do not pur~
pose this shall be so If il can be avoided.
The test oath should, as We have repeat
edly urged, be submitted to the senti-
ments of the people. If article Is, on
water rights, is to be amended by
popular vote, q decision on the test
oath can at the same time and without
expense, be reached. But no amends
ment to the constitution need delay the
admission OF Arizona as a state. Let
the enabling act be passed and the re-
CURED amendments designated with a
fixed time to don the purple Of state and
Arizona will be in readiness and walt
ing for the suspicious moment when
Uncle San shall bid for her welcome in.

thing il it could only be put into effect,

ever prone to do wrong, all of the efforts
of the law makers since there were law
makers, have been unavaIllng and u.s.
ury has existed and will continue to ex-
list. Why? Because when a man is
compelled to get money to avert COM
mercial ruin he will not stop to count
the cost, nor will he inform on the usur-
