MEXICAN ENCOURAGEMENT. ;
Governor Ross Alarmed Over the Work of
Grea.er Engineers


Ell PAso, Tex, Nov. l2.-The mayor and
city coancil of Eli Paso has taken action
which is cal .ulatei to lead to important dip
lonatic correspondence between the United
States AMI Mexico In an official
communication to the city coun-
Gil, Mayor Lightbody stated that Mex
ican engineers, acting under authority of
the Mexican government, were constructing
embankments opposite FL Paso, ostensibly to
protect the Mexican bank of the Rio
Gran ies which embankments, he believed.
would cause the river to damage the
American bank. Moreover, he believed the
Mexicans had already extended one of these
embankments across the boundary, and were
now working on American soil He urged
that immediate action should be taken to
stop this work by force if necessary.
The council decided that the mayor should
telegraph the facts to Governor Ross, and a
message was sent, stating that the work is
being prosecuted with the intention of
changing the channel of the river. "Unless
the work is art once arrested" says the mes
sage, mot only will the frontier be arti-
ficially changed, but serious injury will
be inflicted on Texus land owners What do
you advise me to do in order to protect the
territory OF the state and of the United
States, as the urgency of the case will hardly
allow the delay necessary to obtain redress
by the ordinary diplomatic channelsl"

PHILADELPHIA, Nov IA few weeks
ago the cigarmakers employed at the factory
of Roig g. ,Langsdorf, in this city, went on
strike, owing to some difference with the
firm. Yesterday the general executive
Board of the knights of Labor addressed
note to Messrs Roig s. Langsdorf request
ing that the firm meet the representatives of
National trades assembly No. 2z5 so that an
anicable settlement of the difficulty might
he made.
To this note Messrs Roig g. Langsdorf
IN the afternoon sent reply to Secretary
Hayes, Of the general executive board, in
which, after thanking him for the courteous
tone of his note, they say they cannot see
any reason for a conference as suggested
I'm point of fact" their reply continues,
"our employees are satisfied with us and we
with them, and we are not aware that there
is anything to discuss. Presumably you are
acting on information received from gentle

who left US without cause and whose places
voluntarily abandoned by them have been
filled. Much as we regret any loss or incon-
venience they may suffer, we are powerless

Lord Sackville West will visit the governo,
general Of Canada, shortly.
Gen. Grosyenor thinks that Mckinley will
be the next speaker Of the house of repre-
sentatves.
Hon. Roger O. Mills says that tariff re-
form must come and that Cleveland may be
there in 1892
The yardmen employed by the railways in
Indianapolis have been granted an increase
in wages since the election of Harrison.
Judge A. G. Thompson, of the Portsmouth
district, thinks that Blaine and Sherman
will both prefer places in the senate to cabi-
net positions
1t is rumored that Dan. Lamont will
shortly resign his post as private secretary
of President Cleveland and take the manage
meut of the New York Star
1t is thought by many that Gen. Har
r'sons private secretary will be D. L. Alex
ander, of Buffalo, N Y. Mr.. Alexander is
a lawyer, journalist, and an intimate friend
of Harrison.
Sherman thinks that the Mills bill was
chiefly instrumental in defeating the Demo.
cratic party, because in reducing the tariff il
made invidious distinction in favor of the
south and against the north.

The Electors r, ON New York.

New YORK, Nov. 12 The Sun says it Is
possible that two of the candidates for presi-
dential electors from this state are elected.
This result, if it has really been accom-
plished, is brought about by the fact that
the electoral ticket given out by the labor
party included the names of thirty -four Re
publican electors, with the two labor elec-
tors-at-large at the head of the ticket, two
of the Republican electors being necessarily
omitted 1t is thought that the number Of
Labor votes thus cast were sufficient to de-
feat the two Republican electors omitted
from the Labor tickets, thus electing the
Democratic electors at-large. Such a divi-
sion of the electoral vote in this state is not
recalled by any politician.

osophi; view of it, if what he said to one of
his callers expresses his exact views, for In
conversation with that gentleman he attri-
buted his defeat solely to the lavish and cor

opinion he reiterated repeatedly and with
emphasis, and he evidently believes, or tries
to believe. that his tariff policy, in the Ian

DARK CUTTING OUT LIGHT.
The Fair Haired Men of the Aryan Race Civ
ing Place to the Sons of the South.


ing Place to the Sons of the South.
The anthropological editor of the
Rochester Democrat, in. discussing the
race types, declares that the Aryan race
is largely what may be termed restora-
ton of work of modern scholars. That
is, they have grouped a class of Language
and similar types of mon under general
head, and considered them the develop
ments from one original race, which has
been named the Aryan. The Aryans
were generally characterized by light
com plexion and yellow or sandy harr
Most of them were of staiwart frame
They included in Europe the Greeks, the
Sclavs, most of the Russians, the Ger
mans, and the Celts of Gaul and Britain,
and the Scandinavians. These yellow
haired men ruled Europe for ages and
rule it yet, but the yellow hair and light
COMPILE xiop are departing.
In Homer's time the Greeks were yell
low haired. At least the heroes and
heroines of which he sang were blondes
No one knows exactly when H, mel
lived, and it is possible that the blonde
Greeks had begun to disappear in his
time. But the blonde type was the basis
OF the Cree ideal of beauty. The ty.
plcai Greek greatly resembled his Aryar
brother, the true German blonde as oc
casionally met with today. Not all of the
Greek Gods had yellow hair, but A polio
the highest type of manly beauty and re-
fnement had golden locks. 1t would bs
in vain to seek Greek with golden lock:
today. The blondes have deserted Attics
and from Sparta and the Greek islands.
The color of the darker races have pre-
vailed. The southern barberians whom
the Greeks held as slaves have survived
and their race characters have trium ph
ed over those of their masters. It may
| however, be justly he'd that the minglins
of the yellow haired Greeks of earl,
times with the darker races produced
| people which brought civilization forwars
at marvellous rate. The Greeks coloniz
ed Italy, but the blonde type disappeared
from Italy and only the swarthy type per
sists.

PASTURES AND MEADOWS.
Their Fall Treatment,

It would seem waste to feed or take
stock from pasture and meadows about
the middle of October and give them dry
food; especially if there is considerable
grass remaining. Yet considering the
advantages, il will generally pay. By
taking off all stock early it will give the
roots chance not only to strengthen
themselves but TO form protection
against the cold and storms Of winter,
producing growth of top which acts as
a mulch. The results are much earlier
pasture, IN the spring when it is most
needed, and stronger healthier growth
the whole season following. There are
many fields OF COIN stalks and meadows
going to waste practically by not chang
ing the stock from the meadow to the
stacks early enough. The fall rains soon
destroy the value of the stalks as soon as
they began to ripen or after frost, while
that is just the time the meadows want to
be left alone--excep pit that they will ail
Welcome good top dressing of manure.
Otherwise they should be allowed to pre-
pare themselves fer winter the same as a
tree Iipens up, or an animal stores up fat,
for the cold season. The hay field has
done its duty 10y producing it's crop. and
if imposed upon by pasturing il in the
fall, exposing its roots to the changes of
the weather, it will always show the
effects in the tutare oy decrease in yield
and quality
