How They Live In Mexico.

1t is not easy to say how the rule
which authorizes only light morning
meal became established. Perhaps it
is an instance of the survival OF the tit-
test-the fittest arrangement for the
climate and the habits of the people.
Strangers soon fall into this order of
things, and Americans pronounce it in
fnitely superiOr-for Mexico-to that
to which they have been accustomed.
Two full repasts appear to be sufficient
for the preservation OF life ana vigor in
this latitude and longitude. Possibly
the Mexican plan would work well in
the United States. Doubtless the habit
of spending the evening in the open
air, with late hours, is not conductive
to early rising or the prolongation OF
the business forenoon at its former end.
The favorite hours in the higher circles
for visiting the plaza are between 8 and
IL o o'clock in the evening. And yet 1t
is no uncommon thing to find govern
ment officials busy Mt work at z in the
morning. AS rule ''coffee" between
and q. m. is the only Introduction
to ''breakfast" between noon and one
o'clock.
Those who can afford the time sleep
after dinner. The siestn habit in form
or days led to the universal closing OF
business places between II and 8
O'Clock, and this unenterprising Gus
tom still prevails to some extent in GER
tain places.
Between the noon and evening meals
there is no great difference. Both have
meats in abundance and OF various
k;n,1o axoant Suaat iuiev rOa sts which
are rare. And in both there is sur
prising lack of vegetables. No markets
in the world contain finer displays and
more varieties of vegetables than those
of Mexico; no hotels or restaurants in
the world can have fewer vegetables
upon their tables. The only explana-
ton of this singular anomaly is that the
cooks are not in the habit Of preparing
them.-Cor. ST. Louis Globe Democrat

THE NORTRE DAME CALAMITY.

Now comes the shocking intelligence
of the destruction by fire Of the Con-
vent of Nortre Dame, located at Belle
Vile. Illinois, in which Fl young lives
were lost. 1t is the same old story OF
being shut in like a prison, and cut of
from all means of escape. Whenever
a catastrophe Of this kind occurs the
press of the country Is filed with
lengthy editorials On "Better Mean2 OF
Escape or the necessity Of prompt
legislation for the safety and protection
of lives, and that is usually the end
of the matter. This building had no
"6re escapes attached and no pre-
cautions against fire, from what can be
learned. While the details Of this
calamity is read in all homes with a
shudder Of horror and profound sor
row, we do not hesitate to say tha'
the same building occupied by thc
trustees Of the institution and derelic
legislators, poking their heads through
the windows and wondering how ia
it was to the ground, or specializing a
whether they would draw their salarie
4 from the "dear people" just the same
in New Jerusalem, would afford
c scene, the details of which woul
occasion a thrill of JOY throughout tn
land. Has Montana, in her statute
IS any law relating to sire escapes {

d buildings. If not, it is a good time

SYMPTOMS of acute and chronic CLAN
ders are known to exist in several parts
of our territory. The fatality OF this
disease is well known to stock ralsers,
and too much care cannot be exercised
bv them at the present time. A close
watch should be maintained, and the
stock kept from mixing with strange
herds as much as possible. The stock
interest of Montana is rapidly becoming
one of its greatest industries, and
should this dreaded, contagious and
incurable, disease get a start, the result
would be disastrous in the extreme
The only means of preventing Its
spread, is to Immediately destroy the
animal afflicted with it. The legislature
should pass a law compelling the de-
struction of all animals suffering from
CHAMBERS, and appoint an aPpralslnG
committee whose duty it shall be tc
appraise the value of stock SO destroyed
and see to it that the wner are REIN
bursed by a portion of their value
Such a law is now in effectual opera
ton in several of the states and tern
tories, and proves a sure preventive
against the rapid spread and whole
sale destruction Of their stock interests
Stockmen will do we'll to give thu
matter their earnest consideration.

Sad Accident.

j. E. Dohm, of the firm of Dohm &
Moran, our rustling liverymen, met
with a severe accident last Saturday
afternoon. While en- route to the post
and descending Gold Hill, the cutter
tipped, causing Mr.. Dohm to leap to
the ground. In so doing, he caught
his foot between one of the logs used
in grading and the road bed, throwing
him over the log and breaking the
thigh bone of his right leg above the
knee. BY persistent efforts he sue
ceeded in regaining the cutter and
drove to Fl. Maginnis to secur the
assistance of DR.. Willard, who on
learning the nature of the injury.
advised the sufferer to return to Maiden
before having it set, as to be moved
afterwards would be dangerous. Twenty
four hours later the broken bone was
set, and the patient, under the skillfu'
care Of DR.. Willard, is rapidly reeov
ering.

THE GRAND JURY REPORT AGAIN

Not for many long day has San Fran
cisco had such stirring up in official quar-
tiers as has been given to it by the report of
the Grand Jury, Of which John Nightin-
gale was foreman, and a sketch of which
has appeared in these columns. The Dem
ocratic press has come to the rescue of the
officials, and charged the jury with having
political ends in view and with being ac-
tuated by unworthy motives. There does
MOTTO the candid reader appear any sufficient
grounds to warrant either of these accu-
sationS. 1t is evident that the jury touched
upon the raw. since there is such a general
squirming beneath the rod. The members
of the jury have replied with vigor to their
assailants, challenging proof ofany incorrect
statements in the report, or of any unbound
ed charges, and affirming with Indignation
their honesty of purpose and unbiased ac-
ton. 1t is Il vigorous, an incisiye defense,
but we submit that the jury had far better
trusted TO their original report, and
the ability of the public to perceive the
truth and estimate the assaults made upon
the jury's work at their true value. So
long as we are to have Grand Jury system
at all, its inquests should be supported by
the presumption of honesty of in
tent. Until it is clearly shown that the
Grand Jurors ignored their oaths, and set
their solemn obligations AT naught,
they should have the support of public
opinion. Unqucstionably they have itin this
case. Clearly the criticisms of the jury
were within the scope OF its duty, and Ger
tainly it was possessed Of courage equal to
the call of duty. There is little danger of
our civil government being run in the in
terests Of vicious methods or ends, so long
Is Grand Jurors can be found as fearless as
those just discharged from five months of
duty in San Francisco. The most absurd,
not to say dangerous, critiSism made upon
the jury, emanated from the Alta newspa-
per. That journal in the blaze of the CEN
fury has had the eltrontery to suggest that
d Grand Jury has no warrant for inquiring
into the acts Of Judges OF the Supreme
Court, and declares that the Court possesses
the power, and is merciful in not cxercis-
ing it, to imprison the jurors for contempt.
1t is startling that such thought can find
expression in The columns of enlightened
journalism. When any Court shall be ex-
empt from the critical gaze of any citizen.
much less the straightforward and open
criticism of a jury Of the country, 1t will be
time to fold the flag Of free government, and
cEtomb the hopes Of mankind
And now, since the lu1 thinks the
Grand Jury fortunate in escaping prison at
the hands Of the Supreme Court, it is
timely to remark, that assuming the
charges and deductions of the Grand Jury
to be correct concerning the violation Of
law by that tribunal, the Judges may con-
slider themselves exceedingly fortunate that
they escape the peniteutiary.
