MExlcO'S RuRALES.
A Crack Corps OF Ten Thousand Mounted
ktnomen.

hinsmen.
There is no branch of the military
service Of other countries which can
be ikened to the Rurales of Mexico.
The sister Republic, out OF peculiar
conditions. has developed corps with
out counterpart. The Rurale is like
Cossack in that he is more at home
in the saddle than on foot, but there
the similarity ends. Mexico has her
cavalry contingent. but that branch OF
the service is as distinct from the Ru-
rales as it is from the infantry or the
artillery.
Frequent revolutions, a multitude
| of warning leaders. Il political con-
| dition which gave rise to the word
"Mexicanizcd' these helped to
| produce the material of which this
corps Of the army has grown. To be
| plain, the fact is Mexico has modified
her guerrilas and banditti, and has
named the new branch Of the service
"the Rurales.'
The process has been slow one. To
make of the most lawless elements Of
the whole country the best soldiers has
been q great work, but Mexico has ac-
complished it. There are now nearly
ten thousand Rurales, and the country
enjoys an immunity from revolutionary
outbreaks and highway outrages such
as has never been known before Cortez
| came.
The experiment was one Of risk, but
the principle proved to be right, just as
it has hundreds of times on the 'front.'

STANDARD OIL TRUST.


AS was foreshadowed in the EVENING
JOURNAL two weeks ago the standard
Oil Company has started 30 put up the
cost of coal oil TO the consumers. The
company is represented in this city by II.
G. Bardin. The Standard Oil Company
intends that the jobbers in this city shall
buy its oil at its own price. The jobbers
instead Of doing this at present buy their
oil OF Independent companies at lower
price The Standard through its agent
will deliver the oil to retail dealers only.
The EVENING JOURNAL reporter asked
DIR. Bardin this morning whether any oil
would be sold TO consumers. He replied
We would not sell to the consumers for
a dollar gallon; we sell to the dealers
only The oil is waiting the test Of Oil
Inspector Durney, after which II will be
sold from the tank on French street nea-
Front in quantities. Mr.. Bardin could
make no statement regarding the price
that would be charged for the oil
A prominent wholesale jobber was seen
last evening when he said 80 far as we
can find out, the action OF the Standard
is engendered by an envious feeling
towards the jobbers. The company has
been advancing prices lately, and conse-
quently We went TO the cheaper market
To retaliate, the Standard is trying TO
crush us out, but we are still in the field
What the result will be we cannot tell
We do not intend TO stop selling oil This
action will hurt the oil peddlers more
than any 9th 4r dealers
Another jobber had short converse
ton with the reporter He said a
think 1t is an imposition for the Standard
Company TO act as they are, and yet their
sections will have little effect on our
trade. The profit in oil does not pay FOR
the handling We have not made a cent
on oil for six months.
At the regular meeting Of the Retail
Grocers' Association last evening, the
matter was fully discussed but action was
deferred, as nothing definite was known
regarding the Standard Company's con
