readily does he adapt himself 70 cir

Parties in Bisbee are orgonizing an Angors goat company and are offering stock for sale at popular subscription. There is no doubt but what the Angora goat business is going to be one of Ari- zona's chief industries in the very near future, for the reason that we have the country best adapted to that kind of of business. Any place in Southern Arizona is we'll adapted to the raising of any kind of goats. The Oracle goat people are making success of this same business, and they have only been in the business 8 little over year. Oracle is forty.6ve miles north of Tucson.-Post.

A Remarkable Record.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has a remarkable record. It has been in use for over thirty years, during which time many million bottles have been sold and used. It has long been the standard and main reliance in the treatment of croup in thousands of homes, yet during all this time no case has been reported to the manufacturers in which 1t failed to effect cure. When given as soon as the child be- comes hoarse or even as soon as the croupy cough appears it will prevent the attack. It is pleasant to take, many children like it. It contains no opium or other harmful substance and may be given as confidently to baby as to an adult. For sale by the Pioneer Drug Store.

too much. Without raising the ques-
ton as to the honesty of the managers
OF such company, it is safe to predict
that sooner or later it will collapse.
1t is not founded on safe principles.
There is too much power Entrusted to
one or two men who direct operations.
There are religious communities such
as at Amana, that flourish but they
are conducted by an entirely different
organization than a mere cooperative
company. The Amana society has
gathered a class and raised up class
OF men who make it a part of their re-
ligion to labor for the success Of the
society. 1t is governed not by one
man but by select body who in other
organizations would be named as d.
rectors but the powers of these men
are directory and executive although
they do not bear the high sounding I'll
tie of directors. So far this society
has prospered but the men and wom-
en- and children also, are of one mind,
and subject to the peculiar religious
influence that prompted founding OF
the colony. Mere cooperative compa-
MES have no such restraints nor guild
ing influence. They are made up of
divers kinds of men without any con-
trolling thought except to make money
and entrust their capital to one or two
men to conduct a business that is ex-
ceedingly hazardous owing partly to
fierce competition and the extreme
danger that lies in trusting too much
to the judgment of one or two men
who are by no means infallible.

THE JEWISH METHOD OF FIGHT
ING HIGH PRICES.

The Jewish character of stubborn
persistence and unwearied adherence
to fixed purposes has come down to
the modern Jew with undated pow
er. The protracted siege of Jerusa-
lem by the Romans was due to the
inflexible courage of the Jew and
his determination to fight until all
hope had persisted. 1t has been so
through all the centuries; their 10y
atty to the faith of their fathers was
exemplitied through all the periods of
persecution. The Jews Of Chicago are
now stirred up to their ancient spirit
of warfare, by the high price of beef
and while they are as determined as
were their ancestors the warfare they
will put in practice is peaceful meth
cd of conquering the combination to
which they attribute the elevation in
price. They have formed societies of
men and women who have pledged
themselves that they will eat no high
priced beef. The people who are not
Jews act spasmodically and somewhat
upon the impulse of appetite but the
Jew has schooled himself through the
ages to sacrifice and will take delight
in once more putting in practice the
Inherited qualities that distinguish
him from all other races.

The south would indeed be land of

No reasonable man objects to the po-
litical views of the southern people so
long as they are expressed in consti-
tutional and orderly way but there are
grave objections to the policy pursued
in many of the states or sections of

that there cannot be an alignment of
political parties that would result in
breaking up the old associations SO
that all voters there without respect to
color could freely express their views
through the ballot box, and divide on
the issues and on the tickets that are
to be voted for.
The southern states constitute IA
vored part of the country in climate.
soil and productiveness and the vast
areas of land now uncultivated are a
constant reproach to the country at

selves have the power to remove the
barriers that now hedge in that region
If these are taken away there will
come q flood of immigration composed
of the hardy men of the north who will
adapt themselves at once to the situa-
ton and be as loyal to the true inter
ests of the south as though they were

VOLCANOES AS SAFETY VALVES.

The prediction of Professor Huel-
.prein, that the islands in the Lesser
Antilles may be submerged at any mo-
ment, may soon be realized. The inhab
itants of Martinique6who have all their
lives been accustomed to threatening
volcanoes, are abandoning the island.
Mont Pelee refuses to be quiet and is
still vomiting fire and great columns
of red hot rock and is scattering frag-
ments over the adjacent territory. The
island of st. Vincent is also in a very
dangerous condition. The principal
volcano is in almost a constant state
of violent eruption. While all this is
true it is Well to be comforted with the
Thought that volcanoes are safety vents
through which an awful, pent up force
expends its strength If there We're no
weak places in the crust of the earth,
through which the super-heated steam
and gases could escape, there would be
commissions that would be manifested
in tremendous earthquakes and the
regions now deemed safe would be sub.
jected to those dread visitations.

THE BUILDING PERIOD.

The impulse to build houses in OF
tumwa came unheralded. There were
no visible signs during the latter
months of winter or the first month of
spring that there was about to come an
era of house building such as had not
been experienced for years. The dis
position to build business houses and
private residences had its origin in the
fact that there We're not enough houses
to accommodate the requirements of
the situation. Merchants had gone
along in their former places of bust
ness so long as they could wait upon
the wants of their customers Mean
while the people of the city were not
satisfied with the crowded condition OF
things. There were few establish
ments that were in spacious quarters
whose trade was constantly expanding
and the people wanted more of them.
They are attracted by sharp competi-
ton and variety in the displays of
merchandise and attractive displays
at that. The citizens themselves
were weary of their old time dwelling
places. They want new and better
houses and are building them. 1t would
surprise anyone if he or she would
make tour of the city and see the
new and handsome residences that are
jim course of erection; then the pretty
and tasteful cottages in every ward,
in every quarter are charming to the
eye. as well as giving substantial evi-
dence that the workingmen are pro
viding themselves with comfortable
homes.
