YANKEE TRICK IN LEGISLATION

In the bill to prohibit pelagic, or open sea sealing, by Americans, which was sent to the president by congress few days ago, there appears to have been clause that indicates that some fine Italian hand was at work in the framing of the measure.
 The last provision in the bill pro- hibits the importation of seal skins into the United States, by any person or from any quarter and authorizes the seizure and confiscation outright of any such imported skins when found in this country.
 This, if 1t becomes the law of the land, will be an effectual reply to Canada's refusal to stop pelagic seal ing. It is said that the United ates furnishes the chief market for seal skins, and to close such market is to render pelagic sealing unproftable There is abroad only about a fourth Of the demand for the furs of this description that there is in the United States, and any considerable ca ct would so overstock the only remaining market that the price would not pay the sealers.
 The move is a regular Yankee tricl and will result in outwitting Canada and protecting the fur seal herds a i one and the same time. There is nc danger of any American citizen sui i fering in the meantime for the wan of sealskin overcoats and sacques i These articles can hardly be chased as necessary to the well being or hap 1 piness of the American people, al 1 though fem nine humanity, in spots

AS MT. Cannon, in the house, and MT. Frye, in the senate, are agreed that retrenchment is necessary in or der to avoid financial shipwreck, they should agree upon the direction in which retrenchment is most feasible. They do not need to look far. The river and harbor bill might well be dispensed with this year. There is a form of retrenchment which would not only save the government money, but which would do away with a national scandal Jti to be found in ridding the pension roll of frauds and 1mpos- tors. It is a self evident fact that a pension roll which, thirty-three years after the war has closed, aggregates $150,0O0,000 per year is rotten from top to bottom. If the republicans ex- tirpate this abuse they will be entitled to the thanks of the country.

This is the season when Phoenix should put on it's best bib and tucker. There are hundreds of strangers in town, and they are forming their inn pressions of Phoenix. They must have noticed ere this that the authori- ties have a way of permitting people to do about as they please with the public streets. An individual or a cor poration has the privilege of tearing up street and no pressure is brought to bear to have the street restored to it's original condition. Time takes care of such matters in Phoenix. We are reaching out for more people from the east, forgetting meanwhile that such people are used to good streets and neat premises. It is high time for the people of Phoenix to awaken to the fact that the city is far from being as attractive as it should be. If we expect to induce people to settle here we must at least put our streets s in good condition. The members of the city council might take this mat ter up with ultimate profit to the con- munity.

There are various methods of ex- pressing affection, from the nose rub pings of the Hottentots to the thrash ings which the American boy receives "for his own good."A Wichita. Kan. man has developed a new method, how ever. This gentleman. strolling along the street, met another mans wife and fired two loads of buckshot into her, after which he discreetly took to the woods. He has mailed a letter to. the woman, who still sur wives, explaining that his action was the result of the great love he bore her. Singularly enough, this explana- ton does not satisfy the people of Wichita, who yearn for his return, so that they may lynch him. It is the fate of great minds to be unappreci- at ed
