RANK TNsINCERTry.

ON THE uday following the appear ance of the offensive article leveled at Consul Roberts, in the columns of the Arizona Gazette, there appeared an- other equally offensive article, in- splred no doubt, by the same young gentleman, leveled at MT. B. F. Ham beton, special inspector, treasury de- partment, which reads as follows:
 B. k. Hambleton the reputed special inspector will soon have his lop-eared commission revoked This relic of a mistaken administration thinks the western horizon rests upon his mighty shoulders, whereas dose of epccac would relieve the terrific pressure.
 There is every reason to believe the foregoing was inspired by well known customs official who was at Phgnix last week As the gentleman meant has in the past done everything to smooth a former attack on MT. H., his later attitude, as shown above, is certainly severe reflection upon his professions for peace.

Consul Roberts Reception.

In honor of the birthday of the Father of his Country" the American consulate at Nogales, Sonora, was the scene, last Saturday evening, of not able reception, Consul K w. Roberts entertaining large number of gentle men from both sides of the line in a manner highly beftting his official station and the high appreciation in which he is held by Americans and Mexicans alike.
 As the hour for the reception ap- preached the Philharmonic Band took station in front Of the consulate build- ing and discoursed the patriotic and national music of both republics until the festivities closed, There were present a large number of gentlemen conspicuous in civil and official life on both sides of the line, while the mem bers of the Nogales Fire Department and Company c, First Regiment Ari- zona National Guard, and the officers of La Gendarmeria Fiscal" all in uni form, added greatly to the color and animation of the scene.
 Above an hour was passed in social conversation among the gentlemen, refreshments being served. Then a list of toasts proposed and responded to. Many of the responses were parti- cularly felicitous and eloquent--that of Judge Eb. Williams notably so. The latter gentlemen first spoke in English and then repeated his remarks in l Spanish.
 The first toast was to "the Heroes of Mexco,n ,n to which very felicitous response was made by Hon.. Eb. Will Hams of Nogales, Arizona.
 The next toast was to President Cleveland, neatly responded to by Con- sul Roberts himself.
 The third toast was to President Diaz, which was happily and felici'

THE VERY POINT.

Necessities born of social life and advancing civilization are the real measure of wages, says Hon. Thomas B. Reed This question of wages is all-important as bearing upon the question of consumption. All pro auction depends upon consumption. Who are the consumers? In the old days when the products of manufac- turers were luyuries the lord and hls retainers, the lady and her maids, were consumers, a class apart ny themselves, but to-day the consumers are the producers. Long ago the la- bOrer consumed only what would keep him alive. To day he and his wife and children are soimmeasurably the most valuable customers that if the shop had to give up the wealthy or those whom it is the custom to call poor, there would not even be moments hesi- tation or a moments doubt. .-l lCoconi- no Sun.
 And the foregoing leads to the very point on which the American protect i've system is founded. The necessi- ties of our American social system de- mand that all classes dress decently, comfortably, and with some regardfor the ever changing style. Our factory operatives and other laborers are com pelled to live well and to raise their families on that scale; and their em- ployers must pay them wages which will enable them. Now to throw open our markets to the manufacturers of countries where labor is scantily and lily clad, both men and women going barefooted and sometimes bareheaded and their children go naked, and where all subsist on handful of rice or corn, is to subject the American manufacturer to competition which he can meet only by reducing the the compensation of his workmen toa like meager standard. Are the Amer ican people prepared to do that?

THE APOLOGY WAS ACCEPTED

In accordance with the programme for the Washington Birthday parade, published in THE OASIS last Saturday morning, Company c, First Regiment National Guard of Arizona, marched up to the American custom house at Nogales, and presented arms to a closed building, with not living being in sight, save large dog.
 There are those in Nogales who are SO unkind as to say that 1t was a snub leyeled at the commanding officer of the militia company, Captain Allen T. Bird, by Collector Webb.
 The same evening Collector Webb called on Captain Bird, and apologlsed for the oversight, explaining that he had not been notified that the custom house was to be saluted, and he had taken down the flags because of the storm. Captain Bird accepted Collec- tor Webb's apology, and said he had no doubt that the gentlemans state ment was correct.
 But Captain Birds acceptance of the apology does not shut Editor Allen T. Bird out from saying that had Collector Webb possessed the acumen of billy goat he would have never been caught in a corner where such an apology seemed necessary.
 It was only another evidence of the llllmitable capacity of Mir. Webb for doing the wrong thing at the right time.

To Intervene.

Washington, Dec. est has been
learned from an authoritative source
that Secretary Olney and Senior Dupuy
de LONE, the Spanish minister, have
practically terminated the negotiations
on the Cuban question which are to be
submitted to congress when it convenes
on JAMS. The terms of the agreement
are based on the recent official com
muni:ation from Premier Canovas, ad-
dressed to the secretary of state.
The premier states clearly the terms
which Spain will accord to the insur-
gents and practically asks the United
States to propose these conditions to
her rebellious subjects.
In return for our good offices, Spain
assures thus government that she sin.
cerely deplores the great comercial loss
which we have sustained on account of
the Cuban disturbance. She assures us
that she is now even considering a re-
ciprocity treaty which will deal main
~ with Cuban products and which will
be framed in such advantageous terms
towards this government that our loss.
es both in commerce and in the des-
truct;on of American property iii Cuba
will be most generously compensated:
Premier Canovas says that Spain can
not. of course. as self-respecting and
respected nation, stand before the
world as having been coerced into
measures by the United States.
