A Communists Suicide.

death "in cuntumlciam' by one Of the
court-maItiaI5 sitting at Versailles.
But Parmonticr had not run away He
had not even left Paris. His wife,

The European Wine Crop.

A Vienna dispatch to The London
Standard says: 1.-THE wine harvest has
proved complete failure inmost parts
Of Germany, not more than one-twelfth
Of an average crop having been gath
cred this year. In France, too, the
crop this year was very small. This
dearth has led to II large traffic in
grapes and wines overland, by railway
from Italy and Hungary. Upward Of
six thousand wagon-loads of grapes
have been received in South Germany
from Italy alone, within the past few
weeks. From Hungary also, large
quantities of the fruit have been dis.
patched to the west. During the past
two or three weeks luggage trains,
loaded with Hungarian red wine have
every day been crossing the Bavarian
frontier at Passau, proceeding partly
to various destinations in South Ger.
many, but principally destined fol
France.

Money VS.. Roads.

Indianapolis sun
Money, like roads, is an aid to the
people in making their exchanges.
Without roads the people of one por-
tion of the country could not exchange
their products for those of any other
part of the country, but they could dc
it as well without roads as they could
without money. What would the peO.
pie say to proposition from their par.
ty leaders to allow Il few men, or Il
corporation to control the roads and
highways of the country; to open and
close them as they chose, and to charge
the people what they pleased for the
privilege of travelling over them? Can
it be supposed for a moment that the
people would sustain Il party which
proposed so gross an outrage upon the
rights of the people? Yet large ma
iOrity of the voters went to the polls
on the second day of November and de-
liberately voted to sustain an outrage
upon their rights equally as grave and
so destructive to their liberties, and
one in many respects similar-voted to
allow few corporations to say how
much money they might have to make
their exchanges with and what they
should pay for the privilege of using it

NEW MEXICO'S RAILROAD CENTRE.
Mesla the Chosen Town Instead oi
Ell Paso.

'ulurAdp Springs Gazette.
Mr.. William Waters returned from
his visit to southern New Mexico YES
terday. During his absence, he visited
the terminus Of the Santa Fe, also
the more important towns in that sec
tion of theterritOry. He gives Il very
favorable account Of the remarkable
progress which is being made in set
Ting up and improving New Mexico.
The town Of Mesilla is now looked
upon as being the railroad town instead
of FL Paso rs heretofore stated. 1t is
situated in the Mesllla valley about
fifty miles north of Fl paso, on the
Rio Grandc river It's location and
surroundings are said TO he preferable
to those of FL Paso, and the fact of its
being situated in the Mcsilla valley is Il
special argument in it, favor
There is not probably a better wa
tered or Il more productive valley in
New McNico than that of the McSila.
ml Mr.. Waters was informed hy one
Of the leading civil engineers Of the
Santa Ec that ii was bound to be the
railroad centre. Track; laying on both
the Santa Fc and the Southern Pacific
is being pushed along with the utmost
rapidity and the rails of the former are
expected to reach Coorow station,
Scycnty-liyr miles distant from Mcsllla
to-day.
The southern Pacific is booming
along toward the same destination and
about the same distance between its
present terminus and Nlesilla. There
is 4 great rivalry between the two
roads as to which shall be the first to
enter Mesilla, and the chances are that
there will not be twcnty-fom hours
difference in the time Of their entry in
the new town. There is Il large influx
to all of the new towns and although
several stage.colchcs are running from
the end Of the track. they cannot he.

Las Vegas, and seemed to he fayorably

approaching the Arizona line.

The advocates of a national curren-

received by the government must be
returned to the people in payment of
the national debt in exact conformity
with the laws under which the bonds
were issued. | would give the bond
holder the privilege Of taking his
pay IN gold, silver or paper at his op-
tiOn.
We contend that the mCOnstitutiOn-
al laws that wrongfully took the peo.
pies money and converted the same in
to a bonded debt, and placed that debt
beyond the reach of taxation, bearing
no part of the public burdens, was, as
Secretary Sherman declared in the
Senate, "An act of folly unsurpassed
by ancient or modern times" This
whole speech in the senate was intend
ed to show that a nations currency
could not he contracted without
bringing ruin on the debtors and the
laboring classes throughout the whole
country.
We as greenbackerS and national
men do not desire any change in

change from a financial policy that is
rapidly building up "moneyed oil,

Beside that Oaken door.
The eyes that shOnc, that melting tone

With silvered hair and plaintivc prayer

Making Game OF a Man.

Mr.. French miner living near JEFF

beaver noundering in the river. He
went TO his cabin, got his rifle, and,
returning,sho at the object whose noise
had attracted his attention. Later in
the day Mr.. French made an effort To
reach the object, which could be seen
frozen in the ice. As he drew near ia
the supposed beaver he was Mortified
to see that it was the body of man.

l'' .''IIl'' ''hfWll'O NlEWl

Funny Man." says the pilgrims hunor

doesn't manufacture fun. He doesn't
create it; he can't.
You can always tell a manufactured
Joke by its weight. The fun exists in
the world independent of the funny
man. 1t is there all the time; as near
to you and as it is to him, only you
and | can't see il until Bailey of Dan
bury, Lewis of Detroit, Croffut of New
York, Max Adeler of Philadelphia,
Williams of Fulton, Ray of Utica, and
Gregory of Elmila, and a host of other
bright fellows point it out to us. There
is nothing funny about a stOve-pipe un-
til they tell us how to put it up. You
and | look at Il rock, and because we
are not artists and our eyes are not
trained with an artists habits of OBJ
servation, we see plain, gray rock
mchanging gray. But the artist shows
us in that rock veins of green and blue;
here the glitter of quartz, the sparkle
of crystal; weather stains here, patches
Of moss there, shifting shadows of
glancing sunlight playing over it. So
the funny pilgrims of the press show
the rest of us the lurking fun that
brightens commonplace things. Every
thing that comes to his net is fish. His
eyes are everywhere on the lookout fol
the ludicrous side of human nature
And the funny man wants to know
such things as these: "Why white
washer can always get more kalsomine
on the piano-cover than he can on the
ceiling?" "Why it is so hard to find a
man when you want to borrow money
of him?' "Why dog of the New
foundland denomination will always
howl one-half the night to get out of
the house, and then yell the other half
to Get imp"
