Another Haul,

the smuggler. The officers had been
 given quiet Tip, and last night were on the watch between here and the line
 when suddenly their man came in view
 with two burro loads oi mescal, amount. ing to forty.two gallons. The Mexican was ordered to stop which he did, and fthe officers then brought him here and he occupies,a cell in the city jail. The Mexican's whole outfit, consisting of three burros, one saddle, two pack sad. les, blankets. etc., gun and pistol, were brought in and will be sold at auction, together with the mescal.
 These officers arc making it warm for smug9lers in this vicinity and are de serving of great credit for their recent captures.
 "Qrganize or get left" seems to be the impelling spirit of the hour. A farmers paper says: Combination among nations, concentration among corporations. That's the watchword of the hour. With industrial and na tional expansion this policy will grow in strength. It means that the farmer organize ill self-protection or he will get left The time was never so aus picious for great movement to advance the cause of agriculture. We don't mean by organizing political party, but by perfection com bination.among farmers that will compel all parties to do them just!ce, besides helping farm- ers to buy together and sell together and to aid them socially and education. -ally." But, as the sarue paper says, it is easy enough to start suoha movement, but it takes brains to make a go of it. It is to be feared that no means can be devised free the farmer from the evil of having to sell as we'll as buy at other peoples prices.
 THE farmers are thinking about the proposed annexation of the Philippines and of Cuba. The tobacco raisers of the Connecticut valley easily see that these islands, once in the circuit of the United States tariffs, will ruin their home in- dustry. They can't help Porto Rico, and that will furnish an injurious com- petition. but they will surely be heard from against the further competition of the countries we don't nee1 to take. Then there are the sugar planters to be considered. Hawaii's annexation has been as much of blow as they can con- sent to. This concern of agriculture in the colonial policy is very forcibly set forth by the New England Homestead. Protection is tobe left standing for ev. erybody else apparently, but it is knock ed out completely by cslon;alism at the only point it affords any advantage to to farmers.
 The Meat Market of Overlook Broth CTS was broken into last night and the cash register robbed of between eight and ten dollars. An entrance was made through window on the south side of the building by cutting the wire screen. There is no clew to the perpetrators.
 No further news has been received concerning the dead man found on the river, except that he was found by the officers and buried. No marks of violence was found as, the body was in an advanced stage of decomposition. Voters should bear in. mind that registration. closes 20 days before election, and that those not registered cannot vote. Make it point to go to your justice of the reace and register without delay.
 The university of Arizona will open September 18th. F om the number of applicants now registered there is req son to believe there will be much larger registration than before.
 BIsnHE should put up some good man for supervisor this year and support him regardless of politics, as the business end of the county should have at least a little say when it comes to. "cinching" the people for expenses.

 SENATOR FoRAKaR is probably correct in his assertion that the senate would ratify treaty annexins all the Philip pine islands, says the Globe-Democrat. Annexation sentiment, as shown by the expression of the newspapers and of public men, has been growing rapidly III the past month, and it will probably be much stronger when, next December or January, the treaty comes before the senate. Very little opposition is shown now to the acquisition of all the Philip pines and that which docs appear ~is usually accompanied by the acknowl' edgement that it is useless. The Amer ican commissioners will' all stand out for the possession of the whole g'ouo, and their position will naturally prevail. We are masters of the situation in the
