A SUGGESTIVE INCIDENT.

A rather instructive circumstance
recently presented itself in connection
with the American tin plate industry
The American Tin Plate company
asked its employees to submit to 25
per cent reduction in their wages. This
demand was based upon the desire of
that concern to secure the patronage
of the Standard Oil company, the larg-
est consumer of. tin plate in the United
States. The Standard Oil company
finds itself in position to supply itself
with the necessary tin plate by i'm
Tr. tation, Notwithstanding the talIff,
at rates more favorable than can lie
had by patronizing home industry.
This is due to the fact that the Stand
ard Oil company, after paying it's tariff
.of S1.40 per box on tin plate, receives
under the Dingley law rebate of 80
per cent when the tin which it pur-
chases is used in exporting American
oil to foreign markets. TIE tariff on
tin plate, it will be seen, was meant
only to bleed the ordinary consumer,
sreC ial provision being inserted in the
law to exempt the great Standard Oil
monopoly from any of its onerous pro-
visions. The Republican party, with
its usual care protected the monopoly
at the expense Of the consumer
But the incident reveals an economic
situation abnormal in character, called
into existence by the system of special
privileges represented by the tariff
The American tin plate industry has
reached its present proportions
through system of government boun-
ties unparalleled in extent. Yet the
corporate beneficiary of these bounties
finds itself unable to control the mar
ket which has thus been safeguarded
to it through governmental interven-
ton, because a greater monopoly, the
Standard Oil company, had to be taken
care of specially. And now it comes
about that the tin plate trust, having
exhausted the possibilities of govern
ment aid, because the Standard OH
monopoly can not be hurt, turns to its
employees asking them to further sup
plement the arbitrary advantage which
it receives through the tariff, in order
TO save it from competition.
How long will the American people
consent to witness such exhibitions as
this before they make their servants in
office understand that they will no
longer continue to pay enormous taxes
for the maintenance of monopolies of
the character Of the tin plate trust? Is
not the fact that the Standard Oil COM
pany has SO per cent the best of the
ordinary consumer of tin rather en-
tightening? 1t is all right to rob the
orGirary consumer, but one monopoly
can not be robbed for the benefit of
another.

THE HIGH LICENSE ORDINANCE.

The Citizen firmly adheres to the
belief that it is the duty of the mem
bers of the city council to assume the
responsibility with which the people
entrusted them, and consider the high
license ordinance in the spirit of what
they assume to be their duty to the
people. There is no necessity for re-
ceiving special instruction from the
people, and consequently no need of
referring the matter to the decision OF
a popular election. There is no poll
tics involved in the question, and it is
more in the nature of what may be
called a police measure than a moral
question. 1t affects the peace and or
der and well-being of the community.
Its object is to suppress the dives and
dens that disgrace the city and endan-
ger human life.
The councilmen did not think of
seeking an instruction from the people
when they granted a new charter to
the electric light company and refused
a franchise to the gentlemen who
sought one to establish another light
ing company, few weeks ago. These
were very important matters, yet the
council properly disposed of them
without going to papa for permission.
Why do not the councilmen assume the
responsibility of their position in deal
ing with the high license ordinance?
Are they afraid of the dive keepers?
Do they not know that the intelligence
of the community demands action?
But if The city fathers honestly need
instruction, if they entertain any
doubt regarding the sentiment of the
responsible people of the city, the
Chamber of Commerce is capable of
enlightening them. The Chamber Of
Commerce represents the head and
heart of Tucson. It's membership is
composed of the business men of the
town. 1t can more nearly voice the
views and sentiments of Tucson than
any body in the city. 1t is representa-
tive of the industry. the business, the
progressive spirit of the town. If the
city council desires to be responsive to
the best thought of the community, It
can safely accept the advice of the
Chamber of Commerce.
There will be meeting of the Cham
bel of Commerce tonight. Let us hope
that every member will attend The
Chamber of Commerce should fully and
freely consider the high license ordi-
nance proposed by Councilman Bueh-
man, and take such action regarding it
as propriety and wisdom dictate. The
people Of the city will be disposed to
accept the recommendation of the
Chamber of Commerce, and the city
council will make no mistake by doing
the same.

HE TOOK THE CAKE.
A Story of William Black, the Novel,.
7st, and Mary Anderson.


One time when Mary Anderson was
playing in THE Winters Tale" in
Dublin William Black, the novelist.
who was very intimate with Miss An
derson and her family insisted upon
assuming the part Of one of the superS,
who was dressed as a very old man
with venerable beard and locks that
fell upon his shoulders. When Black
went upon the stage in this disguise,
he walked about among his fellow
Supers with unceasing restleSsness and,
judging by the wild motions of his
arms, seemed to be addressing to each
in turn an impaSsioned harangue. The
audience began to wonder who the
new actor was and what on earth he
was doing in play in which neither
Shakespeare nor the stage managers
ever intended him to appear.
Presently came the time when it was
the business of perdita to distribute
whom Black had his place. Miss An
derson, carrying on the practical jokes
Of the family circle, had prepared a
surprise for this moment, and, having
distributed flowers among the less ia
vored supers, she handed to Black a
large cake crowned with a wreath of
laurel, saying as she did so, You take
it," in allusion to his triumphs in the
contests Of wits at the supper table.
To her CONSERVATION, Black showed
that he was quite prepared to carry
out the jest for, taking the cake from
the hands of Perdita, he Immediately
distributed it in substantial portions to
his hungry fellow supers, who. finding
it to be of excellent quality, began to
MUNICH it greedily under the eyes of
the Exchange.

A Kicking Horse.

A writer in the National Stockman
gives this method of treating a kicking
horse: Put on him a strong surcingle
and crupper. Have ope ring where the
check hook comes and one eight inches
lower on the right side. Now run
strap from the lower ring to the crup-
per about where the hip strap passes
through. Now take q five eighths inch
rope fifteen feet long, fasten. it to the
ring at the check and then hook
through the ring in the halter and
back through the lower ring in the
surcingle. Strap up his left fore foot.
This should be done in Il straw yard.
Now you have him ready. Take your
rope and go ahead of him q few feet,
a little to the right, and begin to pull.
Hold him steady and let him fight this
hard, but keep drawing his head to his
side and he will go down to the ground.
Now you have him where you want
him. Show him you can Go as you
please with him. Keep him there
until he gives up, if it takes all day.
Show him you can handle him.

Which is as true as if the Standard Oil

that there is no such person as Senator

One of the mavels of our time

digestive powers are unusually

We can suggest one thing that
will surely help her, and it isn't a
drug poison either. 1t is Vinol,
