1mPOrtS Lacking.

Mr.. DinRley's explanation of why
his tariff bill is failure is a sufficient
commentary on the boasted republic
can capabiity for legislation. His
explanation is almost amusing In its
weakness, not to say it's stupidity.
He argues, with freedom that dis
regards accuracy in details, that dur
ing the four months the tariff bill
was receiving the attention Of the SEN
ate there was not far from 100000
ZOO worth Of goods imported In ex-
cess Of the amount imported during
the same period Of the previous year.
This excess OF importations was in
anticipation Of an increase Of duties
and with view to escaping the pay
ment Of new rates. Prior to July l
there was paid in duties under the
old law S32,OO0,000. This he argues
should be credited to the Dingley
law and not to the Wilson law. Sing
ularly enough this amount just about
covers the deficit for the present fis-
cal year. But the Dingley law goes
right on piling up deficit months
after month. Chairman Dingley's
explanation is like limited ticket,
not good after date. Next month he
will have to give another explanation.
and it will have to be something else,
because he has used up the S32,000,-
600 "anticipatory duties" the first
crack.
The real reason why the Dingley
bill does not produce revenue enough
is that there is insufficient imports.
They are insufficient imports because
the duties are high. The duties we're
placed high for the very purpose OF
shutting out imports. The Dingley
bill is therefore failure because it
defeats itself. High protection and
revenue clash in a tariff bill. If high
protection is set up, revenue is lack.
ing. The Dingley bill is failure be-
cause the rates are too high.
We would like to know how Iong
our republican friends believe that
the Dingley law settles the tariff
question, with deficit running at the
rate Of sl0,OO0,0oO a monthP-Utica

Several days ago Mr.. II. Goodman, the
hide and leather dealer, purchased a
large quantity Of ginseng from Oneida,
Tenn, which place is in the mountains
above Hartman. Mr.. Goodman paid n
good stiff price for the, drug, which
cures all the ills that Celestial flesh is
heir to, and brought the same to his
store in this city. .i3H
For dried ginseng Mr.. Goodman
thought this stuff was unusually heavy,
but paid no more attention to it until
he went to empty it from one box to
another. AS he did so he discovered
quite a large amount of bird shot in
tile bottom of the box. He could not
account for the presence of the shot,
and began examining the ginseng, with
the result that he found the greater
number of roots stuffed with shot.
Ginseng is purchased from the Sang
digger" by the pound, and the roots
were cut into when green and stuffed
full of shot. A further examination re-
vcaled the fact that there was large
number of bogus roots in the ginseng,
which Mr.. Goodman's employees spent
some time in sorting out.

An Eloquent Address.

An Eloquent Address.
 At the grand lodge of Odd Fellows. at Phoenix, Monday, our fellow towns man of Nogales, Judge Flo. Williams, speaking upon the subject Our Fra ternity,n uttered the following elo- queDt words:
 Ladies and gentlemen, the subject, "Our Fraternity" presents itself as a long, long path tessalated with statis- tics, and although along it's border grew many flowers which my be pluck cd in passing, the way is too long to walk tonight; and so instead 1 will make a short speech and try to tell you in a few plain and unimpassioned words what saw and thought saw short time ago.
 "A few days ago 1 stood in crowd watching the beautiful ceremony of laying the corner stone of the first Masonic Temple of Arizona, and as 1 looked there came to me the similitude of things material and things moral, of ediiices built upon stone and those resting upon ideas, sentiment, princi- pie; and on the material side of the comparison there arose before me the grand old cathedral of Notre Dame l saw its strong old Saxon columns, its heavy, massive twin towers, it's sculptured facade; saw 1t in l492. a time at which, looking back at it from 1880, Hugo imagined Causimodo prow- ling in its galleries CT riding, shrieking on it's swinging bell. And then I remembered that Charlemagne had begun it's construction away back in the tenth century about 950, and through all those weary and wasting years, through battle and siege, through revolt and revolution it has stood and the colored glasses of its great central "roseton" still dissolve the rays of the evening sun as they have for hundreds of years.
 And all this mighty structure rests upon simple things, some rough hcwn stone hidden from sight, buried deep down beneath the ground. And 1 ! turned srom the material to contem- | plate the moral ediices of the world ! and my heart-beats were quckened l as l saw that of our order standing re- splendent among them and as beheld its magnitude and marked the harm ony of its proportions and saw the beauty of all it's outlines I knew that it too had passed through many trials; that is had not been built in q day but the years of the past. Thou sands and successive thousands of meu working with willing hands toll ing for humanity had raised its walls stone by stone, tier by tier, course by course until 1t reached it's cornico and then came women's hand and in Rebeaah's name, laid it's golden dome the graceful finish of tho edilicc, and iherc it stands in view of all the 'arth, simple, beautiful, grand, ma estic. And as look down it's naves : see friendship every hour burning .pon it's altars the incense of love and | rom it's broad portals roissuing con itantly troops of men and women

The cienesa Gold Field.

The Cienega placer mines are sit
 hated about forty miles southwest from Santa Ana, Sonora, and the area
 included in what is denominated the ] Concession Aurifera Fl Tro, is sixty
 kilometres square. The concession
 aires are four brothers, Arturo, Ma
 nuel, Leon and Agustin Serna. Gov ernor Ramon Corral and ". Loalza of
 san Francisco, are also interested in the concession. In the area described about 900 men, mostly Yaquis, are employed, operating dry washers. Of these machines there arc l43, located in four separate camps -fifty-nine at El Tiro, fifteen at San Bias, thirty nine at La Cienega and thirty at. Campo Serna. Each machine is oper- ated by five men, and the net product of each Is about three "adarmesn of gold per day. A description of the machine was recently published in Prof Warnings article. An "adarme" is obout one-sixteenth of an ounce. The concessionaires are satisfied that they do not get all the gold theii
 chimes sield, for occasionally their workmen have small sized nuggets. which, while there is no evidence of of the fact, were undoubtedly snapped up while working at machine. These unconsidered triiles the concession aires buy, having from iong custom grown to consider their ;S3..fc..iaa=f il part of the business.
 The cOncessionaires also conduct general merchandising business to supply the wants of the workmen in | their camps. Tine goods and supplies consumed annually invoice about s25O,0OO. There are some other trades in the vicinity who also supply the | workmen.
 Besides the placer ground there are some yalnableqnartz lodges within the Urea of the concession. One Of these, El Tiro, has been recently bonded to the Mexican Gold & Silver Recovery Co.,, hy, the concesslonarles The mines at Cerro Colorado are also within tho area Of the concession- between La Cienega and Fl Tiro-but they are owned by other parties, hay ing been denounced prior to the granting of the concession.
