present prices those of 1866 were fully 220 per cent higher.
 Some radical changes may be seen in the prices of flour now at $i.S0 per barrel and in 1882, when it was SS.25 or in 1865 at $20 per barrel. It is there fore now at it's. lowest figure.
 Take sugcr also. In 1862 it was 12 cents per pound; in 1865, 3S cents; now it is and cents. Butter was 19 cents in 185O but had advanced to 60 cents per pound in 1865.
 oil is another leading staple which has shown wonderful fluctuations in price. Selling for $1.O5 to $1.15 per gal lon in 1865, it has now decreased to 10 and r cents per gallon, vast gain fer the consumer. In 1850 it sold at 9 cents, in 1858 at $1 and in 1875 at 40 cents per gallon.
 Potato prices have been regulated largely by, the yield. Tn 1850 they sold at 6 cents, in 1857 at $1, in 1880 at $1.10 and in 1892 ot @ cents per bushel. This year they have been Gs high as S1.2j to $2.25 per bushel.
 It will therefore be seen that all the above articles are lower now than 35 years to 40 years ago, and the same may be said of more than 100 other diff ferent groceries.
 For the most part, the grocers profits have gradually decreased on all articles since the close of 1872. the panic season nor is there any likelihood for Q better condition Of affairs fo- come time tc conc

TEE CHEWING GUM TRADE
The Way Man Well Known in Ari-
 Zona Got Into It.

W. F.. Curtis has an article in late issue of the Chicago Record Herald called Fortunes in Chewing Cum" It is an interesting story of the growth of a great business which is still less than a quarter Of @ century old. That is, it is less than a quarter of Q cen tUry since it became recognized as a great industry though chewing gum had been made and used long before that. MT. Curtis gives a brief sketch Of the fortunes of the well known chewing gum kings, the Adamses, the Beemans and the Primleys. He also speaks of William J. White famous as the maker of Whites Yucatan Of him he says:
 William J. White of Cleveland, who used to peddIe gum of his own making about the office buildings of that city, and on matinee days stood in front of the theaters with a tray suspended from his neck that contained his stock in trade. Tn 1887 he adopted a new flavor of peppermint, which struck the popular fancy and made MT White q millionaire. He now owns costly resi- dences in Cleveland and Florida. keeps yacht and a stable Of race horses, has served a term in congress and has been the hero of a very sensationa; scandal, all of which is due to the gum business.
 .''Au interesting story is told of the efforts of a relative of Mr White to introduce his gum into Chicago with out success, until finally that Individual came here himself in 1888 with a bag Of samples and peddled them around until he succeeded in having it placeI on sale. A few years later, during the worlds fair, Mir. White made his sec ond visit to Chicago coming around from Cleveland through the lakes in his sumptuous yacht called the Say When" and royalty entertained those who had assisted him at his previous visit.'
 Mir. White is quite we'll known in Arizona having been at one time in- terested in the cattle business in the southern part of the territory; he also found it necessary to invest a part of his surplus cash in mines. 4 reporter for the Republican knows Mir. White well. To him the great maker of chewing gum told how he came to engage in that business. He was liv- ing in Detroit and had reached the end of his string. His wealth was something less than $1O and a northern winter was at hand. White tramped the streets day after day hunting for work. He didn't care what kind: anything to stand off starvation. The mcanest kind of manual labor would have been acceptable and in fact he was expecting nothing better for he Lad been trained to no particular kind of remunerative trade. But he could get nothing to do. He saw that he would have to fall back on his meager capital and turn it into something for

Track laying on the Phoenix and Eastern railroad will be in progress today. as the graders win now be able to keep ahead of the steel men at least as far as Salt river.
 Yesterday morning a construction train came down from the north equip ped fer the real work of railroad build ing. There were twelve or fourteen cars in the train, part Of them boarding cars and bunk cars and the rest equip ped with machinery and tools for track laying.
 Accompanying the work train were about two hundred and twenty-five men who are to be engaged in con structiOn work. They immediately pitched camp on Car street and numer- ous small boys felt sure that a new circus had come to town quietly and without utilizing the bill boards.

DIR. WOODS IN scoTTsDALE.

To the Editor of The Republican:
 Sir: Dr. Woods, the equal suffrage lecturer. appeared before a Scottsdale audience on Thursday evening. accord ing to announcement. Standing unde~ the folds of the American flag she made a plea for justice to women that was inestima ble and won for her cause the support of every voter in the house who was not already wholly committed to the enfranchisement of women, as the signatures to the legislative petition circulated at the close, proved.
 pr. Woods is a level headed. brainy woman, with attractive personality and marked ability as 9 platform speaker. She presents her case in a clear, logical and most kindly manner. Her tribute to the generous, broad-minded western man was fine-the only equal suffrage states in the union lying in the west
 She basis her plea wholly upon the justice of the law Notwithstanding be- tween the young man and his sister in their chances to earn a living and pro- tect their property; and upon the stup- idity of our government in passing by the intelligent vote of the makers of voters so-called. and offering the bail lot to the field nigger" of the south. the unciviliZed Indian who by allOt- ment of land becomes a citizen and the raw foreigner who neither speaks our language nor cares a fig for our gov eTnmCnt.
 Tt strikes me a woman capable of making good voters could cast q mighty good vote herself" struck q good many in her audience, also.

COST OF GROCERIES.

From statistic of prices recently fur nished by a grocer in business previous to the civil war it is shown that flour retailed for $7.5O per barrel in 1S50 In 1856 it had risen to $12.5O per barrel, says the Retail Grocers' Advocate.
 But during the year 1865, when the war closed, prices had reached mar vellously high figures. For instance flour sold for $20 per barrel, sugar, 33 cents per pound; butter. 60 cents; cof- fee, 60 to 70 cents; tea, s1.40 to $1.6O per pound; oil, $1.O5 to S1.15 per quart; po- tatoes. $1 per bushel; soap, 20 cents per pound; eggs, 60 cents per dozen, and other things in the same propor- tion.
 After 1866, when the extreme limit in prices was reached they began to steadily decrease. As compared with

sHORT-LIvED ROYALTIES.

"One Of the peculiarities of the theat- rical prof =sion that interests me-" said a manager who has come into contact with a great many actors in the course of q long career. to a New York Sun reporter. lis their absolute refusal to see things in the same light Gs the rest of the world. While protesting that they are not in any way different from other men and women, they cling so ob- stinately 10 their own ponts of view that nothing in the world can really change them.
 Thus a well-krown actor. who takes his art very seriously and is chemically disturbed because his countrymen do not more frequently rise up and call him the greatest of living actors in this or any other country, has one marked peculiarity which shows itself with authors in whose plays he acts. He has other peculiarities, but they are chiefly directed against the actors who happen to be associated with him. It is this special peculiarity in it's present stage which has led him to devote his attention to the works of authors who have been dead too long to collect roy alties
 He never pays more than a certain amount royalties on any play. He has made that a principle ever since he be- gan to accept plays. He will pay regu- larly for a certain length of time. Then when the ahthor has received for his
 play as much as the actor thinks it is worth payment of the royalties ceases. It may seem to the outsider that this is difficult thing for the actor to ac- complish in view of contracts and oth- CT safeguards that authors have. But even contracts are not proof against the maneuvers of this noted actor
 He usually begins by reducing the number of performances of a play if the contract requires him-as most | theatrical contracts do-to pay a large percentage when the receipts represent more than a certain amount Thus, as
 he has repertory, it is easy for him to
 make change in the programme every week
 Then he will stop paying any roy alties at all. The author or his law | yers then get at him and he will pay
 a part of them. Then he stops again. The author arouses him again by legal means. Usually the actor is travelling | from place to place, and it is not al- ways easy to get at him.
 Tn one way or another the actor 1 harasses the author, giving him only
 a small part of the royalties due, and generally being frank enough to tell him as the season is nearing it's close | that he does not propose to give any
 more. No man in ordinary business could get out of an obligation in that
 way and still have credit enough to go ] on."

A BET OVERLOOKED
Twelve Virtuous Voters Escaped the
 Vigilance Cf the Politicians.

The registering officers, candidates, central committees and political ma chinery of all parties in this county should go away back and sit down. After all their hard work, all thei" lag chewing. crimiuations and recrimi- nations. and oU the campaign work of all the candidates, as they believed so thoroughly done, it now transpireS that everybody overlooked big block of twelve votes in one bunch. They were good American laboriag mems. votes at that, the kind that everybody was looking for and that each particu- lar candidate felt he could be sure of if he could find them and the other fellows would let him alone.
 George Hamlin came in from tue Relief mine yesterday, and said that he had twelve good men and true on his payroll that never even got their names on the great regi1ter. Early in the campaign he supposed the super visors would establish a precinct there but they failed to. and Cr-7~ thct h. supposed of course some interested person would at least come out and register the men so they could come to town and vote on election day if they wanted to. but nobody showed up and it slipped his mind till too late.
 But that was not the most surprising thing. During all the campaign when the candidates were beating the brush in every direction, on foot, on horse back and in buggies, not a soul showed up at the Relierf mine. They worked Glendale, a few miles away, to a hard boiled finish. They skinned out to Cave Greek, considerably farther and with but few more votes. They trailed through the Buckeye, invaded Fort NcDOweIl and scaled the Vulture peak. but never 9 meek eyed prohibitiOnist. q nation saving socialist, a democratic office seeker or Q prosperity agent. asked for Relief" at that camp sprung Q soda bottle or passed around the cigars.

But there they are. a solid block of twelve able bodied and virtuous but very lonesome voters.
 What makes their grief the harder to bear is the fact that when they look over the great register and find the names of so many dead men still on the active voting list they cannot help but solilouuize with Hamlet TO be or not to be, that is the question, whether it is better etc." Then when they find in two places on the first page the name of Carlos Aldai who served two terms in the pen and lost his citizenship through not being par doned, they are glad their names do not appear in such company.

QUAINT CUSTOMS IN LONDON.

A host Of quaint old customs says the London Daily Mail, finger round and about the famous Kings Guard at St. James palace, but perhaps none is more curious than that which de- Crces that his majesty's health sh . ! rot be drunk at dinner except when the Scots guards are on guard. The onis sion, when one reflects that this one toast, even when TO others are drunk, is invariably honorcd every evening at every regimental mess and guardrCCm dinner throughout the British empire, is sufficiently striking. The explana- ton lies in the fact thct the regiment from across the border was at one time suspected of leaning toward Jacobi-- ism. and so the officers were. specially ordered to drink his majesty's health after dinner, those of ether corps being forbidden to do so, in order to make the enforced loyalty of the Scotsmen stand out in clearer relief.
 It was also ordered that they should not be allowed to use finger glasses af- ter dinner lest they should drink to the king over the water" and finger glasses are in consequence taboCed there on these occasions to this day.

VALUE OF THE EUCALYPTUS.

That phenomenal tree of the Austral- ian deserts, the eucalyptus, which has been planted for forty years in the dry soil of our southwest, where it is com monly known as the blue gum, or red gum, is the subject of a bulletin sool to be issued by the bureau of forestry under the title Eucalyptus Cultivated in the United States
 Although of foreign origin, says Field and Forest, the eucalyptus seems spec tally fitted to the dry country of Ari- zona, New Mexico, southern California and western Texas, where it's value would be hard to overestimate. It's
