The Bond Law.

The County Clerk yesterday received
a certified copy of the law passed by
the last Legislature authorizing our
County Commissioners to issue the
bonds of the county in any sun not
exceeding sixteen thousand dollars, at
a rate OF interest no to exceed fourteen
per cent. and running two years or
less. This law was enacted to provide
for possible contingencies in the pay
ment of our present bonded debt of
twenty thousand dollars, which bears
eighteen per cent. interest, falling due
in July. From present appearances
it is not probable that the Commits
sioners will have to borrow any part
of the sum authorized by this law.
1t was thought proper. however, to
make provisions for the protection of
the county's credit in case the revenue
derived from other sources should
prove Inadequate TO the redemption of
our standing bonds at the date of their
maturity.

1t seems that Geperl Butler has no
idea Of antsgonizing the present Ad-
ministration. On the contrary, he has
expressed a determination to stand by
the Presidents Southern policy until
it shall have been given a full and fair
trial. To this end he wants nothing
attempted at the extra session Of Con-
gress further than to provide for the
army. An interviewer OF the New
York Herald reports him as follows:
Il hope aud trust there will be no
business done except to provide for
the army. The country is weary of
political struggles just now, and no
good al be attained by renewing
them. The Presidents policy for good
or for evil-whatever opinion may
prevail with regard to Unjust now
be tried; and December will certainly
lie early enough for the review of the
work and its results by Congress. OF
course, the President can not prevent
Congress from making such legisla-
ton as it chooses. except by veto; but l
assume that it would do nothing more
than appoint a Committee Of ApprOpri-
alton, or Ways and Means, hat might
sit in the recess, and that after passing
the appropriation bill Congress would
adjourn. / suppose the President has
called vi together SO late in the season

REVOLUTION IMMINENT.
General Lerdo to Raise the Stand
ard on Mexican Soil.
BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS, April 5.

BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS, April s..
Reliable advices from the City of
Mexico indicate growing dissatisfaction
with the Diaz Government, among
both the army and civilians. The for
mer doubtless are alarmed by his as
serted purpose to reduce the
standing army to fifteen thousand
men. Merdez and some other
military leaders have become
disatfected from personal differences
with Diaz. Civilians claim that army
reduction will increase the public tu-
mutt and insecurity and leave a COM
paratively free field to ~brigandage and
robbery. They also find that Diaz'
pretensions as q reformer are a poor
substitute for the constitutionality and
general fairness OF his predecessors.
Iglesias' prospects for the Presidency
are null even if Diaz fails. Public sen
timent strongly tends toward Lerdo,
who is known to be organizing the
Government for his own restoration.
His manifesto, published at the Capt.
tul on the oath of March, was well re-
ceived, and inspired his partisans with
energy and confidence. Many army
officers who proclaimed for Iglesias
now adhere to Lerdo, asserting that
their favor OF Iglesias was simply n
protest against Diaz. Lerdo will soon
raise his standard on Mexican soil,
when it is believed the country will
rally SO strongly in support Of him
that his prompt reinstatement will be
the alternative of a bitter civil war.
The commercial barometer indicates
c~onclusively that war is expected by
the most intelligent Mexican and for
eign residents. There are impending
movements on this frontier which pru-
dence forbids declaring at present that
justify their apprehensions.

SIGNS OF THE SEASON.

1t is exasperating and disccuraging
to read in our exchanges the stereo-
typed notices of the advent of spring.
The "beautiful snow" fiend has hardly
disappeared before we get a dose OF
blades of grass, tiny flowers, swelling
buds, blooming roses, ETC.. What do
they know about spring who have
never watched the glorious sagebrush
unfolding its beauties to the influence
of the balmy breeZes, or snutfed up
the perfumed odor that it sheds on the
air? Who hat ever reclined under its
outrageous branches and watched the
sportive jackass-raboit gamboling on
the hillside, or contemplatively
m%unchin2 the tender sprigs of bunch.
grass, will forget tho delightful sur
roundings of the Base Range? And
as for the musical notes of feathered
songsters, "sweet harbingers of
spring." the echoes of the melodious
tones of one of Ennis jackasses fills
the air with a vocal music that throws
the melody OF a grove full of night
ingales in the shade. Talk about
spring-time! why, you can get a deader
tJiue VII tno sFdSbn Wy hOtibS TIC at
tons of a group OF Piutes than all the
signs that were ever unfolded to the
jewellers of other lands. These are the
days that he crawls from his
wigwam, arrayed in a new cal
leo shirt and stiff trimmed hat,
and plays poker in the vacant lot with
a careless grace, while his sun-browned
squaw browses round the kitchen
door in quest Of cold grub for her liege
lord. When he tires of the game, or
gets raised OUT on seven jacks, look
how pensively he stretches himself
out on the sidewalk and pillows his
head in the lap of his spouse, basking
i'm the love glances of her dark eyes,
while she toys with his hair and pros
poets for the denizens of that region,
bringing down the game with unerriDg
fingers, and discriminating them with
a vicious crack of her jaws. This low
ing couple will extract more solid com
fort from the rays of a spring sun than
would a ship-load of their Caucasian
brethren.
AS for other signs of spring, there is
the fact that poll taxes are due, parlor
stoves are at a discount, a fall in the
price of cord wood. cold dinners during
the annual house. cleaning season,
saloon doors wide open, and a gather
ing of idlers on the street n We

Jim KEENE.

1t is really amusing to observe how
che subject of this notice is being be-
smeared with laudatory paragraphs
by the New York press. One day we
have him off for Europe with millions
of Wall street profits, and the next
that he has formed q copartnership
with Jay Gould, and is going to still
further startle the speculative world.
Then, on the heels Of this, comes the
announcement that he has purchased
. controlling interest in the New York
Sun, and meditstes putting on a new
line of Pacific mail steamers. From
the liberal manner in which he is
''puffed," We are almost led to con-
clude that he has bought all of the pa
pers in Gotham, including a majority
of the stock representing the Western
Union Telegraph Company. And at
ter all, this is the same Jim Keene who
used to rustic for hash in the northern
mines like other poor prospectors.
Courage, though, begets admiration,
and that il what ais Keene. He is q
bold, reckless operator, and for this
reason receives the plaudits of the
multitude. II success makes generals,
it also makes the ideal broker, and
hence Jim Keene just now ais a bigger
man thar Grant, ut the other end of

This afternoon Charles DriscoIl,
commonly known as "Charley the
Nick" entered the publication Office
of the Morning call, and presented an
advertisement offering a reward of
1926 for the arrest of the party who was
the author of a bogus call for 900
working men which was published
Yesterday. He was at nee identified
by the clerks rs the party who perpe-
trated the hoax, and was promptly ar
rested. He was o drunk at the time
to explain his conduct, but having
been drinking heavily for several days,
his action was supposed to be a
drunken whim; if, as seems evident,
he is the principal in the matter, the
sensational rumors as to The Interior
object of the hoax may be considered
as effectually exploded. Driscoll was
formerly a member of the police force,
but now keeps a gin mill on the city
front.
Fer the first time in a number of
years the chain-gang, composed OF the
prisoners in the County Jail, was set at
