The Brownsville Sentinel reports thai
''hide peelers" from Mexico are still at work
on this side of the Rio Grande, but then in
consequence of the close watch kept out for
them by the troops, their facilities do not
promise very large business this year. It
says: ''The armed merchants of Mexico
are no longer in clover'-they do sneak
ing, after night, business-cross a few ami
mails and few hides into Mexico in the
dark. They have experts who separate
hides having American brands from Others.
These are generally shipped from Bagdad.to
avoid inspection and reclamation in Browns

Houston have gone there to look at the dis
ease, and if necessary, treat it. It is claimed

thing, however, is very certain, that it is q
very dangerous and fatal disease. There

THE correspondent of the New York
Times writes that there are large number
of destitute Americans in Vienna. Many of
them went there with few hundred dol
lars and have remained until not dollar is
left. Subscriptions in a number of in
stances have been taken up to send these
destitute Americans back home. Among
them are large number of bogus newspa-
per correspon dents who wherever they go
prove a disgrace to the profession and
thereby bring bad odor upon its legitimate
members. The Consul General is flooded
with applications for relief. The Times
correspondent says there is really much suf-
fering among these destitutes.

A QUERY.

Governor Booth delivered speech
In San Francisco last evening before
the Peoples Union, and In response
to an invitation from the Executive
Committee Of that organization. As
the Peoples Union Is an Independent
organization, which has repudlated the
nominations Of the regular Republican
Convention and placed ticket Of Its
own in the field. no further proof, per-
haps, Is necessary that Gov. Booth Is
making his fight for Senator outside
the regular Republican lines. We
would very much like to know If our
morning contemporary, the Territorial
Enterprise, favors this bolt or endorse;
the action Of Governor Booth. Recon,
utterances would seem to indicate such
n disposition OH the part Of that Jour
nal. We would further be pleased to
learn on what grounds. If 90, 1t en-
dorses the course OF Booth and his
boiling supporters. That Republicans
should make their nominations within
their own lines, we have often been
told BY the Enterprise. This being al
mltted, will that Journal answer our
question as to whether It endorses or
sympathlzes with the Booth move
ment? Many OF our subscribers are
anxious for the Views Of so strict a
partisan journal on this very import
ant question.

A LAW was passed some few weeks
since, by the Italian Parliament,
abolishlng religious corporations in
Rome, ordering. the sale Of their
personal property and the appropri-
alton Of the proceeds by the Govern
mcnt. This was resisted most strenu-
ously by the clergy, but was eventually
passed BY a large majority in both
houses Of the Government. On the
25sh Of July the Pope, to whom this
measure was especially obnoxious, In
asmuch as it curtailed his revenue TO
the extent Of several millions yearly.
delivered an allocu,ion denounclng the
act. TO all concerned In the execution
OF the law, or who purchase church
property sold under Its provisions, His
Holiness says that what they have
done or will do 1s worthless, null and
void, and that they have incurred the
major accommodation aud other CELL
sures, aud placed themselves In mani
fest danger OF eternal damnation.
This, although quito terrible, will
hardly restrain Italians Of specula-
tive turn Of mind from purchasing the
old monast1rles, provided they get
them cheap aud Victor Emanuel guar
