viii be held tomorrow as soon after
the representatives of the house are
named as II is possible for them 10
assemble. and the meetings after the
formal gathering tomorrow will be as
nearly continuous as the physical en-
durance Of the mem bers of the con-
ference will hermit.
The minority in the house will make
no opposition to the Republican pro-
pramme OF sending the tariff bill to
conference at once.
Both the Democrats and Populists
see that nothing can be gained by the
/ lnterpositiOn Of factiOus opposition.
AS the conferees are the ranking of
! the committee from each side, the con-
ferees of the house viii be: Chairman
Dingley, Messrs. PAYNE of New York,
Dalzell of Pennsylvania, Hopkins of
/ Illinois and GrOsvenor of Ohio (Repub-
! Iieans), and Messrs. Bailey Of Texas.
Mcmillan Of Tennessee and Wheeler Of
Alabama (Democrats)
As 10 the length of the conference,
there is a difference of opinion among
the house conferees.
Chairman Dingley. speaking of the
conference on the Mckinley bin, said IL
Z
as many vital points Of difference be-
tween the two houses then as there
are now.
General Grosvenor, on the other
hand, predicts that the bin viii be a
law week from Saturday, If the bill
goes into conference tomorrow. The
rumOr afoat today to the effect that
the house managers had agreed to ac-
ceDt the bill rs it passed the senate,
and thus avoid all possible delay. is
pronounced absolutely without f0unda-
ton After the bin has been in con-
ference a hours and the Republicans
nave had an opportunity 10 go over
their differences and ascertain the
temper OF each side with regard to the
main points in controversy, il win be
much easier to pr0gnOs 5icate the zine
which viii be required 10 reach = fui /
agreement. Probably the most difficult |
programme the cOnferees VIII have TO
solve will be the sugar schedule. The |
house conferees via make a strong I
stand for the house schedule, which .
they claim has been received With ap-
proval by the Republicans and the Re /
publican press Of the country geneT- /
ally.
on the subject of hides the house
cOnferees are disposed to yield, but not
TO the full extent of the duty imposed
by the senate. The senate fixes the

of the members Of the house talk Of

\ compromise on wool rates also ap-
pears probable.
The Republican Representatives of the
senate in the conference express the
opinion that the conference will be very
brief.
we ought TO conclude the conference
in four or five days, said Senator Al
drich and be prepared 10 adjourn by
the 18th of the month"
I should say that we should be able
to adjust all our differences in a weeks

The Democratic conferees did not
take so sanguine q view.

Porcupine Quills.

Porcupine cuills are a necessary of life
TO anglers. for they make the excellent
floats for bottom fishing. Also scores OF
penholders are made from the black-and-
white spikes. and many kinds OF orna-
mental screens and fans are pierced with
these quilts.
Something like 100000 Dorcupine quilts
are imported yearly and they come
chiefly nom India. also q few come from
Spain.
rne animal has 10 be hunted and killed
before the quilts can be obtained and
many hundreds of poreuDines are slain
for this purpose every year. The quilts
are carefully extracted and dried packed
in crates and shipped away to Europe.
where they are used for all manner OF
things in the way of tackle and ornament
tation. A porcupine is always worth kill
ing, for every 'spike-pig' carries $3.50
worth of quilts on his fretful back.

Labor Day Proclamation.

Territory of Arizona Executive department.
 The laws of the United States designate the first Monday in September of each year as @ Ie- gsl holiday, to be known as Labor Day.
 When we reflect that labor is the foundation and creator of all wealth that upon it depends aIl happiness and all excellence; that its labor that builds up great states and carries on the commerce of the world, the wisdom of this en- actment is apparent and especially isit so when applied, to the people of our territory who are laboring to develop its various resources and es- tablish for themselves happy homes. Our busy and industrious communities contain but few drones hence nearly all can be rightfully classed as Iaborers-the mechanic, the merchant, the miner the lawyer, the farmer, the divine the banker, the physician, the teacher and the clerk as well as he who performs the more severe task of daily manual labor, are laborers in the best sense of the word, for while many earn their daily bread by the sweat of their face. and oth- CTS by the work of their brain. they are all toilers
 A general observance of the day so wisely set spart by congress will tend to promote higher appreciation of the dignity of labor and the great part it is taking in the building up of our territory and the great republic of which we hope soon to become a state. To bring labor Of all kinds into closer relations with itself and with other interests, to inculcate friendly feel ing and hearty cooperation be ween labor and capital, thus encouraging good will between all classes of the community, with view to pleas ant and reciprocal relations, is the great object of this observance of Labor Day.
 Now, therefore, l. Myron H. McCord, governor ofArizons. do proclaim and declare Monday, the sixth day or September, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-seven, alegal holiday, and do most earnestly recommend that all business of whatever nature, except such a the necessi ties of the community require to be carried on be suspended on that y, that all who desire may have an opportunity to observe the day II amanner befttng the importance of the occa sion.
 Let us not forget that Labor Day is as import ant and to future generations will become a suggestive and inspiring, as the religious an patriotic holidays that our people so Loyalty an religiously observe.
 Done at Phoenix the Capital this 10th day o August A. D. 1897. MYKON II. MCCORD,
 Governor of Arizona

The Calamity Waller.

The Kansas City Journal is without doubt precisely correct when It says that Populism, which IS but another name for pesslmism or calamity -hoWl- ing, "is not a theory. 1t IS condltlon' It is not 6 mistake; it is a disease" ." Not the utmost limit of prosperity can cure it, and no matter what the condl- tions, that bird of ill omen and disaster the Shrleking Shltepoke of Despair, will be heard lifting up it's lugubrious notes amid the smiling fields and the orchards weighted with glorious harV- est, and not even the whlr and roar or the wheels in the factories can drown the noise of the wheels he hears Tn ms own head. The normal people may as well settle down to 1t and agree to put LID with the mournful wall of the troube- some campers and kickers. for they will be here carping and kicking no matter how high the waves of prosperity rises nor how much it may bring good times to the howlers' own pockets. The men, tai crank who sees visions of hobgoIins and hears the clank of spOoky chains cannot be cured except by decapitation and as that is not practicable, we must be satisfied to put up with him and let him roar, for
 "He's a mach I-born shrieker,
