Mishaps of a Rancher.
rrn,n lile Grr.. Mir rnlon.

j Teli tss WEES Nat' Ahi'h-
A Birch Creek rancher started for Eel
mont with a load of vegetables a few days
since, but before reaching his destination
met with several mishars. First, his wagon
tongue broke; then one Of his horses got
the collie: his boots were blown OF! in 4
wind storm, and, TO cap the climax, he met
with an adventure the recital Of which is
enough 10 curdle the contents Of the stou,est
stomach. The night after leaving home he
made dry camp, m event which he had
anticipated BY carrying on his wagon keg
filled with water. When he camPed that
night he made coiiee in one Of these large
camp cofieepots that had no spout, bu; only
a large mouth at the top. The next morn
ing when he awoke he felt thirsty, and took
drink 81 the cold coffee lief! in the pot. As
the liquid gurgled down his throat he felt
some particles of solid matter passing
hi-esophsgus, but thought they we're coffee
grounds, until ut last one of the particles
stuck and hs attempted TO remove it with
his fingers. The Grst thing he grasped was
a round, thin, slick object, which he sup
posed to he a straw, but 10 when he drew il
forth i, was a tail. and subsequent develop
ments revealed a mouse attached TO the end
Of il. An examination Ct the contents Of
the coffee pot and keg followd, and from
the two vessels an aggregate Of foriy-three
mice we're extracted. The rancher aban-
doned his load Of vegetables, and mounting
one Of his horses rode wildly to town for an
emetic and some mouse traps.

In dropping General Adam Badeau
from the roll Of the army. the govern
ment has inaugurated movement of
economy that is worthy Of applause if
it does not single out this gentleman
as a target, for he is not the only per-
son in the nations employ who has
long been receiving double paw for do
ing much less than a single mans duty,
and that in a perfunctionary way.
There are scores of others on the army
list whose services are paid for in two
ways out of appropriations to each de-
partment at Washington, and there
are bureaus at fault that have not even
undergone the partial wedding Out
given lately TO the consular service.
If all the sinecures were promptly
abolished the regular army could be
increased, the navy improved and aug
mented, and the efficiency of all the
other departments enlarged, while
employment could be furnished to hun
dreds Of deserving persons. who would
be willing to work faithfully and hon
estly for small pay in the places Of
those who have grown rich by taking
the money Of the nation that they
never earned. Such a civil reform j.
what the people want just now.

The opponents and the doubtful
friends of the Texas Pacific measure
are now using all their energies to de-
feat the scheme by attempts at combi-
nations which in truth are but at
tempts to delay and ultimately defeat
the bill. The last suggestion of this
kind is the following:
"The eastern terminus of the pro-
posed road to be at Memphis, and the
line to run thence past Lake City to
Jefferson City, Texas: thence by the
International and Great Southern rail-
road to San Antonio, to Ell Paso del
Norte, to connect with any road to the
Pacific ocean now or hereafter to be
be built. affording communication with
the various military posts on these
lines and the valley of the Rio Grande.
The projectors ask for thirteen million,
to be repaid by transportation of gov
eminent mails and supplies" This
with like others comes to light just at
the time Huntington's men are talking
about compromises which gives it its
full significance.

he Mexicans entertain tn

The Mexicans entertain the most
profound contempt for the Americans,
and in view of the action, or rather
want of action, on the part of our
government in the recent outrages on
the Rio Grande, we don't know but
what the Mexicans are justified in de-
spising our nation. Here is the way
the C6n.bate, the leading Mexican pa
per, talks:
We admit willingly that the Yam
KEGS are an inferior race to the de.
scendants of COrtez, Montezuma and
Hidalgo. and are below our resent
ment. They are even below our con-
tempt. Hence Mexico can gain no
honor by conquering them, and the
national honor of Mexico cannot he
involved in the question at all. 1t is
not a fight between two nations. 1t Is
like q gentleman whipping cur who
has barked at him. We must teach
these Gringo dogs good man.
ners, that's all. We thought
the height of Yankee insolence had
been reached when they demanded
the extraditiou of the heroes of the
stor,ning Of the Rio Grande City Jail.
Gen. Canales merely raised his whip
and the big dog at Washington howled
mercy. They appealed to the gener-
osity of the great Mexican people,
and that is an appeal that is never
made in vain. We could affrrd to be
magnanimous to a mongrel race Of
Yankees, niggers, Dutch. and like
canaille, that for twenty-five years
have covered before Mexico. We
overlooked their indiscretion. We ex-
pected they would not again dare to
lif: their hand toward Mexico, but il
seems We are mistaken.

Victor Emmanuel III, King of Italy
whose death is announced in another
column of the BAzoo, was born in
Turin, in 1920. He was brave sol.
der, an able statesman, and popular
and a wise ruler. He was a man of
strong sense and powerful will, and in
consequence of this he was an import.
ant factor in solving the problems of
European diplomacy.
His military and political career is
brilliant and praiseworthy. In the
war with Austria in 1913, he was
wounded. In the next war. his father
was defeated, and he was called to the
throne of Sardinia. He sided with
England and France in the Crimean
war. In 1859 he took the field with
Napolean III, against Austria. In
1861 he received the title of King Of
Italy.
But a few days ago the Pope. who
is now lingering on this side of the
grave, asked, "What will happen if
the Vatican and the Quirinal both be-
come vacant" A few more days or
weeks. perhaps, and the world will
enter upon the solution of the question,
in the sense Of the Pope.
In the case of the Quirinal there is
really no disputed succession, and the
ministry represents the will Of the
people. The new King, the eldest
son of Victor by the Archduchess Ad-
elaide Of Austria, has simply taken the
oath as required by Law, and the OUR
inal will not be vacant, but the able
craftsmanship and wise counsels Of his
father will he missed in the councils of
Europe.

The question of doing away with the
present system of commercial travel
ing or selling goods by sample, by
New York merchants, is still discussed
and causing quite fiutter among
those interested. One traveller say:
he thinks abolition of commercial
travelling would be suicidal for New
York, as other cities will be then
make more strenuous efforts to get the
trade and good travellers will seek
those cities for and obtain employ
ment. Beng known to customers
they will be able to get the trade as
we'll for one house as for another, and

tuners will not long be idle.

In the month of August and Sep.

In the month of August and Sep
tember, 1877, there was an assurance
of good crops throughout the country !;
the Government was so far advanced
as to assure the success of a four
per cent. loan to take up and cancel
its bonds bearing higher rate of in
terest the greenback had approached
SO near to par that resumption, before
the date fixed by law appeared mat
ter of certain and easy accomplishment.
and all the industrial and commercial
energies of the country moved for
ward with a common impulse of re-
newed confidence. This state of
things continued until the assemblage
of Congress in extra session, when an
immediate and disastrous change took
place.
The sale of the four per cents. was
interrupted by a disgracefal PROPOSE
ton to scale down the national in
debtness by paying it off in deprecated
coin, and the way of resumption was
barred BY the initial steps toward tie
repeal Of the law fixing a date for its
accomplishment. These grave &C.
curreuces have filled the business men
of the country with dismay. Invest
ments have ceased. Capital has with
drawn itself in perturbation. Mer-
chants cannot buy goods to All future
contracts, when they do not know in
what kind of currency future contracts
are to be paid. Bankers will not lend
dollars worth 81 cents or 100 cents and
take the risk of being repaid in legal
tender dollars worth 30 cents. Bust
ness upon such basis is impossible
and accordingly there is no business.
The only apparent course Of safety
for business men seems to be resort
to gold contracts for all transactions.
And in the meantime petitions and re-
monstrances should darken the air al
Washington until Congressman return
to their senses and take their hands off
of the throat of the nation. If the
friends Of honesty and solvency
throughout the country do but join
hands in sustaining the financial policy
laid down for the country. and ap-
proved by both great political parties,
in their last authoritative declaration
Of principles preceding the Presiden-
tial contest. there viii be an end of
this miserable and shutting policy.

The Journal de St. Petersburg says
Russia, after her immense sacrifices,
demands the right to discuss the con.
ditions of peace with her enemies
alone. Russia, however. recognizes
the right of Europe to make known
its appreciation of the conditions set.
tied between the belligerents. 1t is
nevertheless important not to admit
pretensions which might mislead the
vanquished concerning their position
and the public concerning relations
between the powers.
