Eastern Wool Market.

The "American Wool Reporter" Bos- ton, says. There was a further falling off in the wool market the past week in point of activity. The total transac- tions, however, were large,when com. pared with normal periods. There is still an excellentinquiry for wool, which is as yet principally from large mills. While there has been considerable trad ing between dealers during the last few
 weeks. the great bulk of the material z. ..l u -..-to. -as -gLe l0 uauuiaCG- urers.
 The Outlook for Prices.-APparently the edge has been taken oI oI the dem and for wool, and the large mills, while still prepared to purchase heavily. are nevertheless for the most part in search of speclalties or of things which they can buy at attractive prices. Prices are firmly held to day, and there is feel ing in good many quarters that they are bound to go higher in the event of tariff legislation.
 Australian Wool-Among the rumors the last week was one to the effect that 35 900 bales had recently been received at San Fransisco direct fl om Australia, presumably iD transit to the East. This story is really lacking in probability, the total purchases for American ac- count in Australia being estimated at only 45 ,000 bales.
 The New Clip.-Another current re- port is that one Boston house has bought large amount of wool recently on the Pacific coast, and this statement is subst antiated by the statement of our San Fraosisco correspondent in thIs issue, that a Boston house last week bought 100000 pounds Tn San Francisco, besides cleaning up the wool that was left in Oregon. As rule. the h olders of wool in the West are asking prices which the dealers in the East are precluded from paying.
 California and Oregon.-We note the sale of about 100000 pounds Of Spring California ..and 100000 pounds of East ern Oregon. Prices show no striking changes.
 The sales for the week amount to 3, 742, 600 pounds domestic, including 200.- OO0 pounds Spring California. at to l3 cents per pound; lOO00O Eastern Oregon at 70 to Il cents peI pO14~.

A FELONY.

Nearly all the fun of the present ses- sion of the legislature has occurred in the Council, but occasionally ''josh" bIll has been introduced in the lower branch. On last Saturday, Speaker Chalmers handed over the following which, under suspension of the rules, was promptly passed by vote of 13 to II. Chief Clerk Adams, who is himself =. las, aper puUus4ags ..41ol-.-l,. -ia sentiments in an emphatic Aye p' be- fore proceeding with the roll call Ma jor Reppy, the only editor member Of the assembly, also voted with the ma- jority.
 The bill was solemnly sent to the council. and that august body, after a quiet smile of humorous appreciation of the situation, killed the enactment. The text of the bill is as follows: An Act making the publication and editing of
 newspapers in the Territory of Arizona a fel-
 ony, and providing suitable punishment
 therefor
 Whereas, It has become apparent that the wealth of the territory is becoming rapidly di- verted from the taxpayers into the coffers of the opulent uewspa. CT proprietors und editors of the Territory, and
 Whereas, The Nineteenth Legislative assem- bly, of Arizona views with arm the encrOacn- ments ofthe capitaistic press, and has assumed the position that newspap IS are enemies to the public morals therefore,
 Be it enacted by the Nj ieteenth Legislative Assembly of Arizona
 Section That hereafte it shall be deemed felony to edit and publish a newspaper within the Territory of Arizona
 Section2. That the punishment for the crime described shall be not less than ten years nor more than twenty years imprisonment i'll the penitentiary at Yuma.
 Section 8. That the power Of the governor of the territory to issue pardon for the offense herein described be and is hereby revoked and annulled.
 Section A. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage

If either MT. Cleveland or MT. Olney can extract any satisfaction from the part they played in getting from Spain the pardon of Julio Sanguilly, in order to head off the adoption by the senate of a aresolution directing the president to demand the immediate and uncondl- tional release of Sanguilly, they should be allowed to do so. The sentiment Tn congress was pretty nearly expressed by Senator Morgan, when he sad in the course of his speech on the recent relations of this government with Spain ooh, what welcome news was that pardon to that president of ours, n the White House, who for two years has been down on his hunkers before Spain :! How joyous his honest and noble American heart must be, and Tn what transports of joy must be his magnificent person, when he hears that by combination between the crown of Spain and the President of the United States they have dragged out of poor creature confession which enables them to escape the danger of paying damages, and gives them the liberty of sleeping and snoring like sluggards. while Americans suffer

The Cattle Business.

| Every line of business has It's draw
 backs. It's liability to loss, it's seasons
 of duliness and long operation without
 profit, rightly says the Montana Stock Growers Journal. In fact, there IS no business, no matter how legitimately or
 carefully conducted, but that is likely
 to meet with serious reverses. All
 things considered, the range stock busi-
 ness Is probably as safe, where properly
 conducted, as any business that there
 is. On the northern ranges stock is not
 subject to any hazard but that of loss from winter storms and by wolves.
 How is it with almost any line of mer- cantile business? Tie possibilities of loss are almost innumerable. With
 competition constantly forcing the man in business to lower his prices, to extend credit to customers not entitled to it. with the possibility of loss from fire, and falling of of trade by reason of hard times, the man in business sees but very EtIle time that he is free from care and worry. So it's with the man. ufacturer his hazards are about.the
 same as those of the merchant, and he Is beset with tariff unceTtaInties that are constant menace to his business. Of course. as a rule, merchants and manufacturers would cut rathera sorry figure in the stock business, but con- parison from different points of view results rather favorably to the men en. gagged in the stock business. He has less to worry about, his pursuit is less contining and more healthful. He is not confined by any means to his ranch, his busy season IS during the summer months, and Tn the winter he is at Iib- erty to occupy himself in the pursuit of nleasure or otherwise as ha may coo ht One drawOacE lo lie O. a stock ranch Is it's isolation. To man with family this is Q serious matter IE may not be noticed at first, but in time the inconvenience of it becomes appa- ient; communication with the outside world is irregular, and constantly re- curing trips to town are tedious. In many cases the monOtony of ranch life is relieved by passing the winter sea- sons in town, and in this way the life is made very pleasant one.

A dispatch from Washington says that Lewis Wolfiey wants to be govsr- nor of Arizona, and has filed an appll- cation, with endorsements, for the po- sition. All the applicants for the office are now in Washington pushing their claims, with the single exception of Colonel McCord, who seems to be ably represented by Oakes Murphy, who says that McCord will be appointed within the next tau days, and he talks as though he thoroughly understood the situation. Goodrich, Penrose ct al. are franticaily wiring from V ash ington to Phenix for support, and at the same time urgently requesting pro tests to be sent against disappointment of Colonel McCord.

His Strange Resemblance.

A certain farmer, who is by no means noted for his resemblance to Apollo, has son of 7 who possesses more wit than pedigree. One day a stranger came to the farm, and, seeing the lad, asked: "SOnny, where's your father?"
 "In the pig pen,' was the reply.
 "In the pig pen? Thanks!'
 And, as the man moved in the dIrec- ton indicated by the boy shouted:
 "I say! You'll know him, cause he's got 8 hat on!"

Anarchists and Men of Business.

"Herr Most and have been talking it over, said Eli Perkins, "and we are glad those awful monopolIes and trusts are to be killed. The man who does 8 wholesale business is criminal. Yes, sir, we Anrchists think that wicked wholesale Carnegie, who makes 20 cents day on each of his 14,0OO workmen, is bad man, while our retail house pain. ter and carpenter who makes SS a day on six men is saint. Fifty innocent sugar refners, who were selling su- gar at five cents while the Govern ment was paying two cent bonus, were angelss while the wicked wholesale Havemeyer, who employs 10000 men, raises their wages ten cents day, and sells sugar at 34 certs, is devil inear- nate

WHEN MOTHER GETS TEA.

When on a Sunday aftInoon
The children are away
And wife and at home alone,
She'll look at me and say
"We'll let the servants all go out.
When only you and me
Are left, just as used to do,
I'll get your Sunday tea.
And so we watch them as they go,
The maids in ribbons gay,
Butler and cook and all the rest
Depart in brave array,
And when the last has disappeared
l rub my hands in glee
And say, "Now, Mary, for old timesl"
And "mother" gets the tea.
Stand back, each Jane and Bridget,
And hide your blushing face!
If you could only cook like this,
You'd never lose place!"
Such oysters and such omelets,
Chicken and toast--ah, me,
How happy twas when, long ago,
She always got the tea!
Those good old days, when we were poor
And boys and girls We're small!
Since then the Lord has prospered us,
While they've grown strong and tall
And think they ought to have ''mor
style"
Perhaps such things must be,
But still I'm longing for the days
When s'mother' got the tea.
