Seasons in Mexico.

May and June are the hottest months
in the City of Mexico. If one is toe
thickly clad at midday it is usually pos
sible to take the shady side of the street.
Since nobody is ever in a hurry, it is, OF
course, quite unnecessary to walk in the
sun. And when the new conner gets
thoroughly Mexicanized he will stay in
doors at midday. Umbrellas are some
times useful as walking sticks or para
soils save in summer they are never
wanted to shed rain. Just now the
rainy season is on and we have had
some tremendous showers. So has the
country down below. The rainy sea.
son, in fact, ought to be called the show
cry season instead. 1t never rains driz.
zle, drizzle, after the Eastern style, but
it pours, and yet there is no continuous
downfall In June, July and August
in Mexico, rain descends almost every
day in copious showers, but the sum
mer sun shines with no less regularity
between times, and every dav has
clearing Off During eight months out
of the twelve it is as certain, day by
day, that the morrow will be pleasant
as that the morrow will come. 1t seems
to be the American opinion that Mexico
will make good winter resort, but is q
country that it must be wise to keep out
of in summer This is great mistake.
Denver and Santa Fe are summer re-
sorts the towns of the Mexican plateau
are no less fit to be. They are southern,
but they are elevated, and high eleva-
ton countervails low latitude. In the
summer, again, the face of nature is
beautiful, while in the dry season it be-
comes withered and uninviting, But
of course the contrast between North
ern American and Mexican winters il
greater than between the summers OF
the two regions, and on the whole Mex
leo is better country to flee to to es
cape cold than heat. Travelling suits,
for men or women, ought to be dust
proof. In the cities the upper classes
display European fabrics and styles ex-
clusively. Women of refinement ap-
pear almost universally without head
covering. This is the only noticeable
departure from the habits of their Amer.
can cousins. The feet should be well

hotels, and the better kinds are expen-
sive in Mexico. As for the customs Off

Grande, should say, would do well tc

other paraphernalia seems likely to be

Wards Of Court.

Formerly, the Court of Chancery in
England declined 20 sanction the mar
rage of an infant ward when, on ac-
count of his infancy it was impossible
for him to settle his real property so as
to 60 along with his TILE, or to provide
for his younger children by the settle
ment 1t is provided, however, by the
Infants Settlement Act for 1855, that
every male infant of twenty-one years,
and every female infant of seventeen
years, may upon. or in contemplation
of, marriage, with the approval of the
court, make valid and binding settle
ment of their real or personal estate on
their matrimony.
1t is considered very erious con-
tempt of court to marry ward without
its consent; and the person who does so,
as well as those who contribute and as
sist at the marriage, are Liable to be
committed to prison; while, if they are
peers or peeresses, sequestration will
be ordered against them; but members
of the House of Commons will not be
privileged from arrest and Imprisonment
for this offense.
Among the more noteworthy cases of
such contempt of court are those which
have occurred last century and the early
part of the present one. Of the more
fragrant of these cases is one in which
the son of Lord Tankerville's steward,
by the contrivance of nobleman, mar
ried a ward of chancery in the noble
mans park; for which grievolis con-
tempt they, and parson in the Fleet
Prison, who had been bribed bv the
nobleman with one hundred guineas to
marry them, and also maid-servant,
were all sent to and kept in jail for a
fortnight, except the husband, who was
detained there for six weeks. In anoth-
er instance woman in mean circum-
stances and of bad character was lodged
in prison for long period for marrying
male ward of court, who was made
drunk at an ale house, and thus entrapped
into the marriage. A very fragrant
,ontempt Of court. Eader exceedingly

The Other Side,

We have heretofore alluded to the
Spooner Convention and to the fact
that Barron county was emphatically
dlspleased with the treatment she re-
ceived at the hands of the said con-
ventlon. Since our comments, we
have received a copy of the Cumber-
land Herald, which gives the other
side OF the story, and accepting its
statement as correct, we do not blame
them for getting mad. We belong to
the northern part of the district, it is
true, but we do not endorse any poll
teal trickery or meanness on that ac-
count, and it Is just because we do not,
that our little home party of schemers
are trying to drive us out of the party.
Barron county is strong enough, no
doubt to make it mighty unpleasant
for the other fellows when the time
comes, and we cannot blame her for
standing up for her rights. They give
this version of the case:
The Republican Assembly District
Convention, to elect delegates to Mad
ison, was held at Spooner last Friday.
There were twenty-seven delegates
present, or represented by proxy, of
which Barron county constituting
about one-half of the assembly dis
t-ict in point Of population-had
twelve delegates, leaving the other
counties bare majority. The con-
vention had two delegates to send to
Madison, and as Barron county had
about one-half of the representatives,
it was thought fair and reasonable
that they be allowed one delegate to
Madison, but it was not SO. The upper
counties were determined to have the
whole hog or none-they had counted
noses carefully and knew they had a
majority, and proposed to profit there
by; consequently they elected Hon.
Z. Anderson, of Burnett county, and
T. E. Bradshaw. of Douglas, as dele
gates. But they were not satisfied even
with that. The Senatorial district =
consisting of the st. Croix and the
northwestern assembly districts-elects
two delegates to the State convention,
and 1t Is customary To award one del
egate to each assembly district; it was
therefore resolved to instruct the six
senatorial delegates to procure the
election of Judge Mead, of Washburn
county, to Madison, thus completely
shutting Barron out.
We are sorry to be obliged to say
it, but we look upon this action of the
convention as high-handed outrage
against decency and justice At the
last presidential election Barron
county cast 1927 votes for Garfield,
while Bayfield, cast rs, Burnett 369,
and Douglas Al, or 4SS in all, thus
leaving Barron a majority CT $50 votes
over the balance of the district. Since
then the population has increased all
over, and the upper counties may have
grown the fastest. The following is
the vote for Congressman Price in
1882, the latest statistics we have:
Barron, 776; Bayfield,, 449; Burnett,
33S; Douglas, 10. making a majority
against Barron county of ISL. Since
that time Barron county has grown in
population as much, if not more, than
those counties combined.
Gentlemen, 90 on with your bar
gains and trades, but always remem-
Der to count Barron county out. How
ever, one thing should not be lost sight
of altogether, and that is, it is one
thing to make the bargain and anoth-
er thing to deliver the goods.

The financial wrecks that lave
been made in Wall Street this week
have had no parallel since the cash
of 1869 and 1873. Old houses that
withstood the storm of those Gays
closed their doors last Wednesday and
the fortunes lost mounts away up in
the millions. The best of stocks vent
down to figures which had never been
dreamed of by any one. Later re-
ports however affirm that the panic is
over and confidence becoming Ie-es-
tablished, with prices slowly but are
ly advancing or remaining firm. Men
who SOW the wind must reap the wairl-
wind, and this stock dealing business
will surely wreck the operators so.ner
or later. 1t is fortunate that our gov
eminent is in condition to rende, re-
lief if it actually becomes necessary to
do So.
