A SHALL ~REGISTRAIION.

We have repeatedly called the at
tention of our readers TO the necessity
of registering anew under the law of
1896 in order to qualify ones self to
vote in the coming January election
to decide the question Of the constitu-
tional convention, and to elect dele
gates to such convention.
New registration is absolutely ne
cessary to en- title anyone to vote ia
the future, as 10 one who is not
registered anew under the law of 1896
will he qualified as an elector.
Although this fact has been iterated
and reiterated ad nauseam By the
press of tie State much igno-
rance on the subject prevails, while in
many quarters surprising apathy
reigns. The coming election is an
important one, whether one favors or
opposes the proposed constitutional
convention, and it Is the duty Of every
intelligent citizen TO quality himself
to pass judgment OH this important
question in the coming election.
Lafonrche GEMS not exempt from
the general indifei ence shown by the
people throughout the State on this
all important question. A statement
furnished us by our obliging registrar
shows that at heclose Of last Tuesday
there were only 1875 citizens who had
taken the trouble to register. At some
precincts no { has yet registered.
To be sure OF tile part Of many,
this failure to register is due TO the
want of consideration of the subject !:
on the part of some to ignorance Of
the fact OF the absolute necessity of
registering new but it is much to
be apprehendtd that with not a few
1t is utter indifferentism to civic du-
ties.
We submit that all good citizens
owe it ~ their country to qualify
themselves in order that they may
exercise their right of suffrage in every
instance where the general welfare
requires them to do SO !; and that to
pass judgment by une's hallotupun the
important question submitted to the
people in january next, is il civic act
which the general welfare imperative

A story to Prove That intellectually
Is Not the Only Distinction.
Most persons think that the chief diff
ference between mems and women's
clubs is that the one is intellectually in
clined and the other isn't. But there are
other distinctions. At what oTganiza-
ton of men could the following incident
have taken place? asks the New York
Sun. 1t was at a gathering of feminine
clans the other afternoon, and some
body, with that delightful irresponsi-
bility common to such occasions, wanted
to know the time.

But here she stopped, and, after staring

fhc began to shake it and rap it in n
manner that might have alarmed any
one unfamiliar with women and their
lays with watches.
The gathering before her, however,
being of her own sex, took it all most
seriously. Suddenly the first vice presi-
dent put the timepiece to her ear. "Oh,"

AT THEIR OLD TR CKs.

The Republicans have long been
telling the farmer that it is their ear
ne desire to protect him, and they
are alTays threatening To Il" it. Tar
if after tariff has been made, and
yet. eli II nary to the ma ling of ev-
cry tariff, the farmer has been told
that lie must he prott cted. Tariff
duties have been repeatedly socked
ON the farmers products, and yet he
ha' always been marked out for the
con.idermte attention of the protec-
tionis,p, Just rs If he had BEEN hith-
er!o overlooked. The slime game is
beng played now. The farmer is as
sured that lie must be protected, the
inference being, of course, that the
tariff ma kers Tor got all al Iut him las
time. e is to be made happy. the re-
fore. too. 10y the slappmg on OF the
same old tariff duties that have ad.
mit;rCly failed to con stitute protec-
ton heretofore. And so it goes, and
30 1t viii keep ON going. There Is r. a
son to think it anyway.
The other day it was proposed in
the Senate to pay b unity on agri-
cultural products. This would have
meant protection; there is no doubt
about that. All that the farmer needs
it better prices for his products. lie
cannot get such prices under the pro.
tecSive system Of import duties; be-
cause there ID little or no COMPETE
ton from foreign agricultural pro-
ducts, and the home market is not
equal to the absorption of his entire
p o,:uc;ion. The proposed bounty
would have heen q good thing for
hin. 1t is the only thing, III fact, in
the way of Government gift that
could be hell full to him. Will he
get it? Not much. The senate lost
no time in rejecting the proposal
The protectionists are burning with a
desire to do something for the farmer
but when the opportunity to help him
is afforded them, they let it slip; they
run away from it.
PERHAPS, some day, the farmers
eyes Will be opened to the sort Of
work the Republican tarilftes are CIV
ing him.-EXchange.

He Was q GoldbuR.

Thomas Shone of the Bush hotel
had an amusing experience with a
fair sample of an Eastern goldbug
yesterday morning. Several passen-
gers of one Of the Christian Endeav-
or trains took breakf .st at the hotel,
among them being one with the APP
pearance and man uers OF a down
East business man. At the table thus
individual aired his views on roliti-
cal questions. and was especially loud
in his denunciation Of the silver lu-
natics. He illustrated his argument
to his fellow passengers i'll the follow
ing manner.
"Suppoing," said Mr.. Goldbuy,
Eve hal free silver and I should ten
der the proprietor of this hotel a five
dollar g,ld piece to pay
for this breakfast for myself and wife.
He would give me four dollars in
change In silver. Now, mind you,
these dollars would be worth only
fifty cents each or two dollars in all.
Therefore, 1 would be paying
three dollars for the meals. Would
not it be Il case Of legalized robbery.?"
aOutrageous! Shameful!" echoed
several of the listeners. and the talk
meut on in similar strain until the
meal WAS over.
Mr.. Goldbug hustled up to the
counter with an important air and
threw u ten dollar Dill down. Mr..
Shone handed him back d five dollar
g Id piece and four silver dollars as
charge. Mr. G1ldbug looked at the
CONS a moment. an expression Ut
righteous Indignation overspread his
face. and he loudly demanded:
"Fonr dollars and ninety -nine cents
more. please"
IL gave you the correct change
nine dollars," said Mr.. Shone.
@No. sir!" shouted Mr.. Goldbug.
"You have given me only fonr silver
dollars and miserable penny, and l
demand four dollars and ninety zine
cents moro"
Mr.. Shone at once saw the mistake
the excited Hannaite had made. and
quietly informed him that the sup
posed copper cent was five dollar
gold piece Of Uncle Sans coinage.
The other passengers crowded
around to get a glimpse Of the coin,
which, after some argument, was
finally accepted by Mr.. Goldbug. He
had learned one thing at least from
his Western trip.
An old lady on one Of the trains
made the same mistake last evening
and made IA great fuss abAnt being
robbed until it was explained that
the supposed copper which she hat
received i'll change was a five dolla
piece.

mind. He adopted very novel meth
Cd by which to test him. He slipped
into the little fellows room one morn
ing and placed on his table Bib1e, a.

the agricultural products in some To-
calities sugar beet growing need not
necessarily bring about such reduction
According to statement made in a
bulletin made upon the sugar beet, just
issued by the Arizona Agriculture Ex.
pertinent Station, the development of
of ths sugar beet industry in Germany
has in no way interfered with agricul-
tural development in other lines, for it
is shown that in those communities
where the sugar beet is grown exports
of other agricultural products have
gradually increased rather than dimin-
ished by reason of the sugar beet grow
ing. All the waste natorials in the
manufacture of sugar are now being
utilized, the pulp being found especial
ly useful as food for dairy COWS and
fattening beef cattle.

Every day when we open our morns
ing newspaper and read the political
discussions in its columns, we are sure
to come across something about the
tariff. Every one knows the meaning
Of the word tariff, but it is not gener-
ally known where it originated. II Is
of Moorish origin, and descended to US
from the time when the Moors occu-
pied goodly part of Spain. In those
days they built fort to guard the
Strait of Gibraltar, and they called it
Tarifa. It was the custom Of these
people to levy duties according to
fixed scale, which they adopted and
changed from time to time, even as
much as we do our own tariff laws, on
the merchandise of all vessels passing
in and out of the Mediterranean. They
obtained the right by yirtue of strength
and for years netted rich income -

Our Dearer Girls.

The girls of HoltoD, Kansas, seem to
be drug on the market, says con-
temporary:
At an entertainment given there a
few evenings ago, a number of the
handsomest and liveliest young ladies
of the village were placed on sale and
auctioned of to the highest and best
bidder for cash in hand. Not only was
the bidding not spirited, but The prices
were ridiculously low.
The only damsel over whom there
was any competition at all was the ac-
knowledged belle Of the town, and she
was knocked down, using the language
of the vendue, at the paltry sum of
ninety cents. Most CT them didn't
bring over fifteen cents. These, how
ever, are not such bad prices consider
ing the risk which the purchaser may

The Sugar Beet Zone.

Arizona ought to become one of the
principal beet sugar producing regions
of the United States. 1t lies within the
zons designated by Or. Wiley as the
sugar beet zone. Then there is the evi.
dence of successful production on the
west by California, on the north by
Utah, and on the east by New Mexico.
Touching this matter Director Devol
of the Arizona Station says il Bulletin
%: "It is reasonable to expect that
throughout the greater part of Arizona
the sugar beet may be successfully
grown. Nearly tire whole of the terri
tory lies within the zone designated by
Dr. Wiley, in his report of 1890, as the
sugar belt, the southern part reaching
somewhat south Of it. This belt takes
a sinuous course across the United
States, dou bling upon itself in the
Rocky Mountain aud Pacific Coast re-
gion, following the isotherm of 70 de-
grees Fahrenheit for the months of
June, July and August, and extending
for distance of one hundred miles
upon either side Of this isotherm.
Since the publication of that report the
area within which the sugar beet may
be prof1tably grown has been extended
in both directions. Though the per-
centage of sugar may not be SO great,
on an average, as in more northern eli
mates, the advantages of longer sea-
son during which the crop may be
grown and harvested and the longer
time open for working the roots in the
factory as well, more than compensate
for the small reduction in sugar con-
tent. In cold climates It Is necessary
to have factory OF sufficient capacity
to work up the whole beet root crop
within a short space of time, or the
roots must be buried in silO TO keep
them from frost, thus entailing an ex-
ira handling While in warm climates,
such as prevail over the greater part of
Arizona, the beets may be left where
they grow until needed at the factory"

Give Me a Home IN Arizona.
BY A COWBOY POET,

Give me home,
Where the rattlesnakes roarns
Where tarantulas and centipedes play.
Where ne'er is heard,
An encouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
Give me land,
Where the bright diamond sand,
Shines up through the cactus so green,
Where giideth aiosa.,
Thro' an alkali pond,
The water-snalze sleek and sheen.
Give me home,
Where the sand storms roam,
Over plains and mountains ne'cr green,
On the Colorado river,
Where seldom, if ever.
The least bit of Eerbdge ts ssSn.
[ love these sand showers,
In this dear land of ours,
/ love to hear the coyotes wild scream,
On {he cliffs Of white sand,
Where the sage brushes stands
And the green lizard reigns supreme.
The sand hills around,
With ruins SO grand,
Where once great tribe used to NOW,
But all traces are dim
Of the farms they put in,
For everything efused to grow.
Cow men have baen pressed,
From this part of the west
And it's likely they'll never return,
But sheep men will start,
In Sc arch of these parts,
When of Mex tn1ey they l5arn.
Come Moqnis and Navies,
Wen welcome you in,
Where all your forefathers have been,
Well give you this land,
With its blist tering sand,
Flying swiftly along with the wind.
