We have received from many
English statesman and poll
ticians much encouragement to
embark upon a policy of i'm
perialism- But it will be found
that all who have given us this
advice are men who think such
a course would fit we'll into
their own national schemes, or
else they are of that policy of
their own county that they can
not see why any other country
should hesitate to initiate it
whenever the opportunity offers.

The Arizona Bulletin justly
says: ''Ihe railroad freight
bill introduced by Councilman
Goldberg is most too severe. It
cuts freight rates in the middle,
when it is claimed by railroad
men, and justly we believe, will
seriously cripple the branch
lines of the territory. Arizona
is yet in need of more railroads
and the investment of more Or
ganized capital in other public
enterprises which will add to
our prosperity and assist in the
development of our varied and
unequaled resources. The
building of new railroads in
Arizona during recent years has
added greatly to our general
prosperity. Capital was in
vested in these new railroads
at the special invitation of the
territorial legislature, who
gave the encouragement by
passing a law exempting the
new lines from taxation for a
number of years. This was an
implied promise that there
would be no such radical and
arbitrary legislation as soon as
the roads were completed as
that proposed by the Goldberg
bill. Freight rates are high in
this territory, higher than they
ought to be, but notwithstand-
ing this Arizona can bid def
ance to any section of the coun-
try to show a more prosperous
class of business men and mer
chants generally than are to be
found here. The Goldberg bill
we consider unjust because it
puts all railroads in the terri
tory on the same footing. The
]. ! j. ] u J
big trunk lines and the branch
lines reaching mining camps
here and there are all to be
treated as equal, in their ability
to carry freight. The main
lines manifestly can afford to
carry freight from stations in
Arizona at a much lower rate
than the branch lines. We be-
lieve Arizona could well afford
to defer any such radical ad-
verse legislation as proposed
by Mr.. COLDER, but if the leg
islature thinks the time has
come for some remedial legisla-
ton in the matter of railroad |
freights, then the action taken
should be conservative and rea
5onable and some provision
should be made allowing a just
discrimination in rates between
main lines and branch lines.

Frederick Scoble, a promi-
nent Washington, Ind, grocer,
is the victim of remarkable
phenomenon. His hair and
beard turned snow white in
night. One day last week he
felt a severe pain in his head
and face during the entire day.
He retired as usual that night
and finally fell asleep. His
slumber was not disturbed un-
fiji morning when he awoke
feeling as well as usual, but to
his amazement he found that
his hair and beard had turned
snow white. His hair had been
black and up to that time had
only been slightly streaked
with grey. Some of his most
intimate friends failed to recog-
nize him after the remarkable
change. Louisville Dispatch.

THE QaRE
OF KID GLOVES

81 CONOMY in small things is often
overlooked and if only more con-
u sideration were given to this sub
ject quite a considerable sum of
money might be saved annually. The
careless manner in which a very large
number of ladies treat their gloves is an
instance in point, and perhaps the fol-
lowing hints may serve to show how
the reasonable care Of kid gloves would
result in reduction of expenditure:
In the first place, it may be pointed
out that rough handling is specially
disastrous to kid gloves, and it very
often happens that new pair are split
and ruined by jerking them on in a
careless fashion. Always put on a new
pair kid gloves for the first time long
enough before they are to be worn to
allow of due deliberation in the task
When a pair of fine gloves are bought
the purchaser should insist that they
be fitted on In the shop; then if there
are any flaws they will be detected be-
fore the gloves , paid for and taken
away.

vestments, but some Of the best shops
keep a fairly good line of gloves at low
prices, which are worth buying for COM
mon wear. If strong and we'll made
