Shopping for Amusement.

The French critic, musician and gov
srnment official, Romieu, was fond of
joking. One of his diversions-amus-
ing, but not to be communicative to
go into some shop where he was not
known and perplex the clerks by his
questions and remarks. One day he
went into a glove store and told the
clerk that he wished to make a pur-
chase, but must apologize for his poor
French. If she would listen carefully
he hoped to make himself ineligible.
He had always found the clerks in Paris
so intelligent and amiable, he said, that
one need not be discouraged even if he
did not speak the language very well.
He would like pair of gloves-hid
gloves. Did she understand?
All this was said in perfect French,
with irreproachable accent and idioms.
Certainly, sir, murmured the aston
ished clerk.
"Ah, then will persevere; kid gloves,
pearl gray-do you understand-pearl
gray"
Eyes, sir, you speak French with per
feet

proof Of the inexhaustible amiability and
patience which | have noticed in the

1.-THE Parisians are SO quick to catch
ones meaningl And will you kindly
stretch them, and put in some glove
powder? What is the price? wish my
command of French permitted me to ex-
press my thanks for the promptness and
courtesy with which have been served"
He paid for his gloves and departed
without smile, Youths Companion.

ATTEMPTED ABDUCTION.
A Thrilling Adventure of Little
Oracle Beebe Last Night.

Oracle Beebe Last Night.
About hall an hour before midnight
last night shrill female voice rang out
Help! Helpl Oh HelpW The shrek
seemed to come from the vicinity of the
railroad tracks just below the freight
office. a member OF The REPUBLICAN,
force who was passing along Jefferson
street near Tonic with a friend heard
the cry and both ran in the direction
whence the cry seemed to come. After
proceeding short distance they saw
three men running rapidly eastward.
The low whining OF dog furnished the
newspaper man and his friend guide
and they followed il until they dis
covered the source OF the screams they
had heard.
On returning from the opera house
little Oracle Beebe OF the Crawford
Comedy company who had been de-
tanned washing the burnt cork from
her face, had been accompanied
by two male members Of the company
to the road leading to the company's
palace car, where they left her to return
for a lunch, thinking there could no
danger attend her between that point
and the car. The gentlemen had not
gone more than fifty yards before they
heard her screams for help. They ran
back and found her struggling in the
hands of three rufiians, one OF whom
wore a Mexican hat. The other two
looked like tramps. Calling the dog,
"Dover," a noble mastii, the gentle
men rushed to the scene. One OF the
gentlemen felled Que OF the tramps
with a blow from his stick. Dover
seized the man with the Mexican hat
and held him until his owner, Baron
Woleson," (Chas. Underwood) came
up. The two tramps engaged in u
struggle Of self defense and their com
paniOn succeeded in breaking away
from the dog and all three managed to
escape. Mr. Gale Adams, musical di-
rector OF the company, received slight
scratches in the encounter.

RETIRING FROM BUSINESS
$4,000 Worth of Goods fol
Sale.
Dillon g. Kenealy Offer Rare Bar
gains to the People of the Salt
River Valley.

After due consideration we have final
ly decided to retire from business in
the city of Phoenix. This important
step we have fully discussed, and have
arrived at the conclusion TO close out
our business in this city in order that
we may be able to give our undivided
attention to our several interests in the
city and county of Los Angeles. In
closing out this business we are aware
OF the fact that we are going to sacrifice
one Of the largest and best assorted
stocks of dry goods, clothing, gents
furnishing goods, shoes and hats in the
city of Pho nix, as well as the most sue
cessiul and best established concerns in
the territory of Arizona.
During the past six months we have
had several applicants for the purchase
of this business, but to dispose of our
large and varied stock of goods a great
sacrifice Of property is indispensable, and
we have therefore concluded that the
people OF the SaltRiver valley who have
so steadily and literally given us their
trade and patronage during the past
nine years IN the city of Phoenix are
the best entitled to whatever sacrifice
we shall be compelled to make in dis
posing of our stock OF goods. On
Thursday and Friday OF this week we
shall keep our store closed in order to
remark our entire stock of dry goods,
clothing, mems furnishing goods, hats
and shoes for this great closing out sale.
1t is our intention to close out our
stock as quickly as possible, therefore
every article and piece OF goods in our
store shall be marked at invoice cost in
the eastern market. This. is the most
genuine closing out sale Of frst-clase
goods ever offered to the people of the
Salt River valley. On Saturday Oct. 80
we shall commence the sale OF our large
and well assorted stock which will be
continued from day to day until all the
goods are disposed Of. We respectfully
call the attention of housekeepers,
hotel and restaurant proprietors, farm
ers, mechanics, miners and the general
public to this great sacrifice of first
class goods.

Cremation.

The laughable farce comedy, "Crema-
tion," was rendered to crowded house
last night by the Crawford Comedy

and to persons who enjoy that sort of
entertainment it comes up to expecta-
tons. All the characters were well
sustained and some deserve more
critical mention than space allows.

hands, but it has been done quietly and
without the clamor of boom. When
the rush to get in on the ground floor
begins il will be sign that the rapid

STABBING AFFRAY.

Powerful Antagonist.
Yesterday morning Deputy Sheriff
Phil Sheridan brought up from ella
Bend FrancISoo Ruvio, charged with
attempted murder. Night before last
Runio, in the course OF fight at ella
Bend, stabbed his antagonist, whose
name is unknown, three times in the
back below the shoulder blade. The
prisoner bears good reputation at ella
Bend and the quarrel is said not to have
been OF his seeking. He was also over
matched in the fight, and was receiving
terrible beating when he drew his
knife and made himself even with his
more powerful opponent. He was ar
rested at once and bound over IN the
sum of $3.50. The small amount of the
bail fixed indicates that the committing
magistrate believed that an element Of
self defense entered into the stabbing.

have millions upon millions back of

where this money is to be invested we
quote from tho Prospectus:
"lu the central and western states Of
America high rates If inter, 81 prevail.
Their growth and prosperity and the
increase OF population should afford n
continuance oi the great development
of industrial enterprises. which has
hitherto been so remarkable"
We have always held that all that is
needed TO develope the CENTRAL aud
western states is plenty OF honest
money aud whether il IS British gold
or Yankee greenhacks, our industrial
enterprises are sure 10 reap tho bene-
tit. We need more money aud Cheap
er money, but at the same time honest
money.
Of course the Modern Light, and

English gold hugs and capitalistic
cormorants, but if our farmers and
business men can secure plenty of
muney at reasonable rates, the pessi.
mists may go hang themselves. II

1t looks as If tue tide Of foreign gold
which has been flowing SO steadily

things, either this is the best country

Hoodwinking the Farmers.

The payment objected to by the pro-
lection bunco steerer is that which
might be made here" Why is it not
made here? Because with farm labor
we can earn more of it than we can
make of it, with the same work. 1t
pays labor better to take tea in pay
ment for surplus cotton than to raise
tea instead of cotton; 1t pays farm la Dor
better or would but for protection
to take manufactures in payment for
farm products than to put the same
labor in the mills. The American mill
owners cannot offer the same wages to
the American for the mill work that
the foreign mill owner offers him for
farm labor, and the American mill
owners naturally object to his surplus
farm labor for foreigners that produces
manufactures in payment for it as its
final result.

Milwaukee would have had a tin
plate factory by next fall, were it not
for the uncertainty felt by the project
ors as to the outcome of the approach
ing national election"
SO says The Milwaukee Sentinel,
and The Grant County Herald APPROX
ingly copies the statement of The Sen
tinel. It's rather strange, isn't it? for
regular orthodox party journals to ex-
press any doubt as to the outcome of
the campaign. From reading The
Darlington Journal and others of our
good republican exchanges we were
led to believe that every high taxer in
the land could read his title clear to
victory sure and certain in November.
If the question of tinplate factory
for Milwaukee is to be decided by the
result of the election, the reasonable
or unreasonable prices for the articles
of tinware used by the dairymen of of
Wisconsin also hangs in the balance.
The projectors of the Milwaukee en-
terprise must be waiting to be assured
the power to exact exorbitant prices
for their tinplate. Such result would
cost the farmers of Wisconsin power
of money.

When the protection bunco steerer
says that he objects only to American
labor competing with foreign labor, the
man who believes him must be a fool.
Every protected industry in the United
States was esta blished for the open
and avowed purpose of having every
workman engaged in it enter into di-
rect and active competition with
cheaper foreign labor. Is not the work
man in a protected industry making the
same article that foreign labor makes?
Is he not making the same article for
the same market? Can it be disposed
of except in competition with the for
eign product, and by offering it at
less price? The only Americans in the
United States who are working in d.
rect competition with foreign labor are
those in our protected mills. The en-
ployer is protected because he is COM
petipg with foreign labor. That is the
only excuse the protected mill owner
has for his protection. 1t is the only
one he offers If he did not have to
compete with foreigners, he tells Con-
gress, he would not ask for protection.

FOREIGN PRODUCTS.
Why They do not Compete With Anne
4 oh

Why They do not Compete With Amer
lean Labor.
When the protection bunco steerer
tells his dupes that the importation
of foreign mill goods which enter into
competition latter they have become
the product of an American farmer in
payment for his work. with our own
mill goods, drains us of our gold, he is
banking on their credulity. He does
not pretend that the importation of tea,
or coffee. or anything on the free list,
drains us OF our gold. 1t is only the
payment of mill products to our
farmers. he says, that drains us of our
gold. Forbid the American farmer, he
says, from receiving anything in pay
ment for his surplus labor that COM
petes with the products of our mill
machines, and we will keep all our gold
at home. ut was lie, of course
said the Yankee at King Arthur's court,
'but let it go at that" Let this.
How does this bunco steerer propose to
keep our gold at home except by MAX
ing 1t worth more and la Dor worth lessp
IF the Americans now working for
foreigners and receiving profitab BILE for
eign payment can have their foreign
wages cut down, then they will be will
ing to work here for less money, and
%. 5 grains of gold will be worth SO
much to US, because it will buy more
labor. 1t now buys two days labor in
Germany and only one days labor here,
SO Germany wants it. If we make it
buy two days labor here then we will
want it as much as Germany does
now" Even this is a bunco If it
were true, then gold would flow to the
countries where labor is cheapest But
1t does not. All the gold of the world
is in the three countries where it is
worth the least as money-where
labor is paid the highest wages-the
United States, Great Britain and
France. The explanation of this is that
Its value is not in it's use as money, but
as standard for money. It's old use
as money has passed away and become
obsolete. But the answer to the bunco
will occur to every man of brains: Why,
then. have you imported. during tbs
last fourteen years, $l02, 064, 1873 worth
of gold more than we have exported?
On page - of the last report Qs9D Of
the Bureau of Statistics of the Treas
ury Department the victim Of this
bunco-steer will find a statement of
our total exports and imports of gold
coin and bullion, by years, for four
teen years last past-1S7S to 1891, both
inclusive-and while some years show
an excess on one side, and some on the
other, the total shows that we have
not only kept in this country every
grain of gold mined, but that we have
drained from foreign countries, and
added to our stock Sl02, 064, 1873 from
foreign countries-despite the fact that
the Mckinley bill drove sos, 1870, 0S7 out
of the country in 1891.
