The City of Flowers.

Paris rather than Florence should be called the City of Flowers. In every quarter you may see tall, handsome "kiosk," slender and graceful corner built of wood and glass, in which pretty flower girl has her shop. She has witty word for every body, even for the ladies who make her haul over her whole stock in trade and then go away without buying more than two sous worth of violets. She sells little breast knots of flowers to the work girls going to their toll at eight in the morning, and sends home bouquets and cut flowers ordered by ladies out shopping. In the afternoon she sees a long procession of gallants pass before her, and her income de- bends largely upon her popularity. When evening comes she has the strangers and the fianeurs for patrons. And it is generally midnight before she packs her baskets, closes her Xii osk and goes home. These girls often work fourteen or fifteen hours daily, since they have to be at four or five o'clock morning flower auction at the Halles.

TEMPE BACKS STRINGTOWN.
Her Confidence in the Rural
 iStS
Based on a Former Sporting Event Which Terminated Surprising
 ly and Dlsastrously.

The Phoenix Gazette and other terri torial papers are in error when they speak of the Tempe baseball nine that will soon cross bats with the Tucson boys. The club belongs neither to Mesa nor Tempe, but in Stringtown, an agricultural suburb of Mesa.
 The town of Tempe does not repudiate the club because they are afraid the boys will be beaten in the coming match but in a spirit of fairness.
 The club belongs solely to itself and is under no obligations to any town, having at all times paid its bills and won all games played with the outside world.
 Tempe did at one time, little more than year ago, organize a baseball club which was the pride of the town. After practicing some time they sought glory by playing the present Stringtown nine on their grounds near Mesa. The day was fine one and the entire south side turned out to see the gallant lads from the metropolis of this side of the valley do up the hayseeds from the Mormon settlement. Before the game begun a fine dinner was spread at the expense of the agricultural nine after which the command to play ball" wa: given. Contrary to all expectations ol precedents the country nine led of with good score followed by the Tempe lads with goose egg. This was re peated nine times and the score stooc Al to o in favor of the rustics.
 Since that date Tempe has had nc base ball club and is in fact out of tn, market as competitor. Tempe how ever takes much interest in the coming tournament and will place her none, on Stringtown.

The idiot and lunatic are ac-
counted unfortunate beings, and
are accorded the worlds pity; but
the man who is abnormally vicious
and prone to the commission of
crirna, is held By the naturally am
iable-those to whom crime is re-
~yolring, and with whom its com
mission is impossible-to be exactly
as morally guilty, and in the same
degree culpable for criminal cons
duct that they themselves would
be. This is a very grave error
one giving warrant to cruelty and
wrong Human character, whether
it be good or bad, is not primarily
of the will-througb which it only
finds expression-but is founded in
nature. 1t is a simple matter OF
fact and experience that human
natur is a thing of infinitely vary
ing, bat always and lnexorably OF
limited possibilities.

What Export Figur S Show.

The changed conditions which q
year may bring in our trade rela-
tions is strikingly shown by a com
parison of the experts of wheat
and corn for the first half Of 1898,
with those of the first half of 1892.
The exports Of wheat and cora
from the Atlantic and Gull ports
from January 1 to May 20 were
Al, 797,o22 bushels, as against 3d.
595,210 bushels for the same period
in 1892, a shrinkage of nearly
sixty per cent. This shrinkage is
not due to lack of wheat and corn
for shipment, as the visible supply
of the two combined is nearly So
100000 bushels, or more than
double that at tho same date dur
ing the past three years. We have
plenty of grain for export, but the
demand is light and our stock is
being left on our hands.
This fact alone would account
for large gold shipments and close
monetary conditions if there were
no financial uneasiness from other
causes. The exports of wheat and
corn for 1892 amounted in round
numbers to 291, 00O, 900 bushels,
Assuming that the ratio of grain
shipments for the first half OF
1898 will be continued the exports
for the year will be considerably
less than one>halt what they were
for 1892, and this with our eleva-
tors full OF corn and wheat that
could be exported if a heavy for
eign demand existed. The lack OF
a foreign demand tends to keep
prices low here, thus further reduc-
ing the money value of the wheat
used for home consumption,
When TO this dullest in the ex'
port OF breadstuffa, which next to
cotton is the chief item of our
export trade, is added the unset
tied financial condition growing
out OF The piling up of cheap silver
in the government vaults at Wash
ington, it is evident that the time
has come for wise action on the
part Of the United States Govern
ment to prevent an already unsat'
~isfactory financial condition from
going from bad to worse. With q
heavy demand for American bread
stnfs and provisions, gold might
be retained at home and the sup
ply added to, in spite of the con-
tinuation OF the silver folly. With
a light export demand and a con-
tinuous stream OF cheap silver
pouring into the government vaults
the gold drain il likely TO continue
Either the silver folly mus be
abandoned or there must be q
change for the better in the export
demand for American staples it We
are to get upon a more substantial
financial basis in the near future

A NOBLE UNDERTAKING.

The United States Naval Assoc
citation, composed of all graduates
of the u. S. Naval Academy, have
arranged for the dedication of a
memorial window at Annapolis to
the victims of the great Samoan
disaster of March 16. 1889.
The window will be seventeen
feet high and four feet wide and
will contain three pictures. two of
them representing scenes from the
shipwreck, the third being a Scrip
tural piece illustrating the text
from St. Matthew, "And He saith
unto them, Why are ye fearful, o
ye oflittle faith? Then He rose and
rebuked the winds and sea; a1d
there was a great ealm."
The names Of the four. officers
and f%ortyNseven men who persisted
in the terrible hurricane will be
inscribed on a tablet below the
window.
We trust that they will not be
dishonored by association with
those of the imbecile politicians
who sent them to their death, or
that of the officer whose bad judy
ment in declining to seek a safe
anchorage was the immediate cause
of the needless calamity.
