Horrible story of the Wreck of the

LONDON, Sept. 9--The crew of the yacht
Mignonette, rescued after being many days
i'll open boats. captured a turtle on the fourth
day after the sinking Of the yacht On June
Is the crew had been seven days without
food and five without water They discussed
casting lots which should die that the
others might live, but were unable to
agree. The next day it was determined
to kill the boy Parker. Capt. Dudley opened
Parker's jug uiar vein with a penknife, and
the boy died instantly. The survivors, the
captain and two seamen, drank of the muir
dered boys blood, and sustained life by eat
ing his flesh until rescued by Che ship Monte
yuma on the 5th of July. The reason as
signed for determining upon the boys death is
that he suffered most from thirst, and was
unmarried. When rescued, the men looked
like skeletons.
Capt. Dudley and the two seamen were
brought before magistrate on charge Of nun
der After hearing testimony, which was
in effect that the boy was killed, in order
that the prisoners might yet prolong life by
eating his flesh, the accused were remanded
without bail

CHINA MAKES AN APOLOGY.
Not TO Johnny Cropaud, However,
but TO Johnny Bully.

LONDON, Sept GA dispatch just received
from Shanghai states that the. Chinese gov
eminent has sent an apology to the English
admiral for the recent mistake of the
Chinese military authorities at Foo Chow
in firing upon the British ron-clad
Zephyr. The Chinese minister says he
was grieved that such an affair
should have happened to friendly power,
and that the government was willing to in
demnify the officer and the sailor who were
wounded by the fire from the Chinese guns
The British admiral sent return note, stat
ing that he was satisfied with the apology, as
he had no doubt that the firing was the result
of ignorance on the part of petty artillery
officer, who did not know the difference be-
tween the English and French flags

In every walk of life those distressing
diseases neuralgia and rheumatism intrude
themselves. They respect neither age nor
station, and young and old, rich and poor,
feel their malign power, Medical science
has shown beyond dispute that these dis
eases spring from an irregular condition
of the blood. Athlophoros searches
through the life current and whenever
poisonous substances are encountered
they are promptly expelled with the result
of bringing new health to every part of
the human frame.

WILLIAM GOLDEN achieved lofty fame
on the stage in the original cast of Rice's
"Evangeline." He used to play the front
legs of the famous dancing heifer in that
now obsolete burlesque, and in the as
sumption of that difficult role exhibited
marvellous talent. The applause of ass
sembled throngs, the lavish of encomiums
of the press and salary of SIS a week
turned the young artists head-turned it
toward numerous bars. Like all men of
genius, either of head or of heels, he had
his follies and his frailties. Golden's
great weakness was whisky, but it did
not remain weakness long. On the con-
trary, it got the better of him, and for the
past year he has been wreck. A few
days ago paralytic stroke finished the
work the dancing heifer begun.

lr is singular coincidence that
the name of the woman that Alex
ander Hamilton had a guilty alli-
ance with and Grover Cleveland's
flame were both named "Maria. "
But there is no similarity in tho
conduct Of the two men. When
his guilt was brought home to
Hamilton he owned up like little
man, and begged forgiveness of his
fellows, while Cleveland says moth
ing, and his friends content them
selves by saying he is no worse
than was Hamilton. But IIamil-
ton never offered himself for the
Presidency, but met his death at

chce.

LAND FRAUDS.

The positive utteranccs of the
Republican platform regarding the
notorious frauds committed under
color of the pre-emption and home
stead laws, are wise and timely
The true interests of New Mexico
are identical with those of the la
boring poor, who come here to Gre
ate farm, erect home, and raise
and educate a family. The Ma.
tional land laws were intended for
the benefit of this class. Every
fraudulent entry of land under
those laws is a crime against the
statute, and a fraud upon the peo-
pie,
Every entry man, under the des
ert law, timber culture, pre-emp-
tion and homestead acts, is re-
quired TO make oath at some stage
of the proceedings, that he makes
his entry for his own exclusive
use and benefit, and not directly
or indirectly for the use or benefit
Of any other person or persons
whomsoever. Under the two lat.
ter acts he must make oath to ac-
tual, personal settlement and i'm
provement of the specific tract, and
IN final proof must depose to con
tinueus residence and cultivation of
the land. And in all cases, he
must, at that stage of the proceed
ings, depose that he seeks to OBJ
tain title for his own exclusive ben
eft, and that no contract or under
standing exists between himself
and any other person or persons,
whereby title is to be conveyed to,
or to inure to the benefit of any
person other than himself.
The public is well aware of the
extent to which these laws have
been Systematically violated.
Perjury and subornation of per
jury have been the necessary
means for the hitherto successful
violation of the law in these cases.
Upon the sanctity of oaths, and
the credibility of evidence, the we.
fare of society and the preservation
of legal order very largely depend.
And every class Of offences OF
frauds, which tend especially to
destroy these guarantees, are, and
ought to be, peculiarly obnoxious
10 all right minded men. There.
fore, not onlyin the interest of the
poor, but in the general interest OF
society, the demand is rightfully
made for the exposure and punish
ment of these frauds, and for such
additional legislation as may be
necessary to their prevention in
the future.
We are glad to know that the of
ticers of the Department Of Justice
have had their attention especially
directed of late to this class OF
crimes, and have been encouraged
by the highest authority to proceed
fearleSsly in the performance ot
their duties. We are also gratified
in knowing that the Republicans o.
New Mexico have strengthened
the hands of the officers OF the
law by strong declaration on the
right side, and sidcerely hope tha
"No guilty man may be suffered
to escape" no matter what hi
wealth, or his rank and standing

A SINGULAR DOCUMENT.

wi. 1DICCutll . lClbCI w lilO Nv
publicans of the 3rd judicial dis
trict, should have been addressed
to those of all the districts, in view
of the fact that more than half Of
Rynerson's vote came from the lst
and 2nd judicial districts.
Emanating from a man Of Bree-
den's admitted ability, it is very
singular document. The causes
of the late division at Santa Fe,
are not even limited at. The plea
is to an indictment not found. He
defends himself from charges not
made, by a confession Of inius-
tice in the apportionment for the
late Convention, which, if true as
alleged against himself, was as in
excusable as the subsequent offens-
es which led to his reputation by
Il majority of the representatives
of his party.
The Republicans of Southern
New Mexico have never regarded
the gentlemen from Santa Fe as
autocrats from whom favors were
to be begged, and herein, perhaps,
lies part of the difficulty. The
Republicans of Santa Fe" voted
at the May Convention for the
Southern candidate for delegate to
Chicago, but, none of the delegates
are ignorant Of the fact, that they
did so only when they had been
beaten upon the temporary organi-
cation of the Convention by near
ly two-thirds vote, and it was ap-
parant that Llewellyn would be
elected without their aid.
The causes OF complaint against
Col. Breeden, and the combination
OF which he is the meuthpiece, are
not that he and his clique have not
"done enough" for Rynerson and
his Southern friends. These have
expected nothing but what they
could do for themselves, and they
have not herein been disappointed
The complaints were based upon
Breeden's defiant refusal to obey
the directions of the Territorial
Committee, and upon his shame
less attempt to transfer power
from the majority to the minority
of the Conv ention. To these causes
of complaint have since been add
ed the baretaced misrepresentation
by which that attempt has been
sought to be excused, justified, or
obscured. The Republicans OF
Southern New Mexico intend TO
hold Col. Breeder to his record. -
They have hitherto made sacrifices
for harmony, and may do so again.
But "harmony" may be bought too
dear, No compromise is possible
on any other basis than recognl
ton of the fact that the majority
of the Convention was right, and
that Breeder was wrong, nor up
on any basis which leaves Breoden
in position to repeat the attempt
OF August 26th. The Republicans
Of Southern New Mexico are not
"st stabbing the party to death.
The have taken the course most
likely to secure it a new lease OF
life. ltIs the men who have been
using its honors and confidence as
the capital stock of vulgar trade,
who have used the power confded
to them to load an unwilling peo
pie with an unnecessary debt,
whose careless incompetence has
made the statute book Of the 2Gth
session a marvel OF absurdity, who
have stabbed the party" nigl
unto " death"
These are the real issues between
the Republicans, not only OF Sou
thern, but OF all New Mexico, ant
Col. Breeder and those for whom
he speaks.
