Therefore when Tucson, masculine

glad hand to Arizona's ambassador to
the government Of the United States, it
was much more than a casual dem
onsTation Of satisfaction with his
work. 1t was in fact the very highest
tribute of appreciation for his services.
1t was in it's way decoration; for
Tucson is not an impulsive creature,
and does not move without good and
sufficient cause.

Smith was cordial and warm. And in
expressing approval of his work, Tue

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

Land cannot be too rich or too mel
low for fruits.
Manure for the garden should be free
from weed seeds.
The head of tree needs to be fairly
open to admit sun and air for full
growth of fruit.
The dahlias will never disappoint
you. Pink, white yellow or crimson,
tall dwarf or cactus, il is bound to
flower.
III the fall after the leaves have
dropped is generally the best time for
taking cuttings from ounces, but they.
may be taken later.
Heliotrope should not be mixed with
other cut flowers in water. They de-
cay quickly and have a harmful effect
upon the other blossoms.
Myosotis forgetmenot needs partial
shading, but not the shade of tree,
Plant among taller flowers or around
rosGbushes, and it will do well.
Plenty of yellow blossoms should be
secured for places which lack sun
shine yellow is good in almost every
situation and is the cheeriest Of tones.

dance Of tibrous roots to be made. The

HISTORY or a PANIC.

It is the customary fallacy of pro-
tectionists to attribute the panic of
1898 to the Wilson tariff of 1894, four
teen months later, whereas said panic
was caused by the financial legislation
of Congress in 1890, when the Sherman
silver bill and the new wasteful pension
bill were enacted
These acts of Republican Congress
during the Harrison administration
depleted the treasury, compelled the
treasury to use the gold reserve for or
dinary expenses and thus started the
panic. The Sherman silver bill un-
settled public confidence in the ability
of the government to keep the curren-
cy at par with gold, and hence the rush
to get greenbacks redeemed.
There was no Wilson tariff bill till
over a year after the panic, though
protectionist orators now commonly
date that Democratic measure back to
1898, so as to make it responsible for
the pahic Of that year.
The panic of 1898 was really due to
the fol1ies of 1890. The Sherman act,
the monstrous pension act with Tan
ner administering it and the reckless
waste of revenue in that year suffi-
GENTLY account for the alarm that
followed 1t used to be said by par
tisans that the panic was due to the
expectation Of a Wilson bill. If this
were SO, it ought to have come as soon
as Cleveland was elected President, in
November, 1892, whereas it did moi
come until June Of the following year
But it is easier now, since time has
obscured the connection Of past
events, to put the Wilson bill before
the panic instead of after it, and sc
make it responsible for the disasters
caused by the reckless legislation o.
1890. It was that legislation that ex-
hausted the surplus, cut down revenue
and alarmed the public.

THE GREAT 0Oal STRIKE.

The manner of approaching the
striking coal miners for q settlement,
which has been indorsed by the Pres
ident of the United States, is offensive.
The coal barons did not communicate
with the leader of the miners, but
assumed" that Mitchell would hear of
what they offered through the press.
The only thing in the assumption to be
commended is its intelligence.
Mitchell. as well as all other people in
the United States, has heard Of the
offer of the operators through the
press He will not, perhaps, stand on
dignity, but do what is right under
the circumstances. The wise fathers
Of our government made no provision
for informing a President-elect of the
United States of the duty that awaited
him. He, too, must hear from the
public prints or some other source, of
the determination of the people and
their officials. So we hope Mr.. Mitch

tors. sent through the President, but
