4 Queer Method.

It is fact surprising to man, that the council and assembly of the erri- tory of new Mexico, debate and pass laws in Spanish. Courts are opened and closed in that tongue. No Ameri can holds an office under the territori- al government, with the exception of one or two counties, except by the fa- vor oft the Mexicans. Voting is carried on in Spanish. They vote the "boleto republican" or "Doleto democrata."
 The vote is recorded in the poll books in Spanish, not for a delegate to congress but for "delogodo al con gresso; and if the name of the candi- date be American, it is changed into its Spanish equivalent. For instance no one in New Mexico last election voted for Anthony Joseph, the present delegate to Congress, but for Antonio Jose; just as though this fragment of the United States of America were a province of old Spain.
 A Washington dispatch says: As sistant Secretary Thompson has noti- fled the Collector of Customs at Fl | Paso, Texas, that as cattle from So- moro, Mexico, to Arizona have spread splenetic fever, thereby causing the death of many head of cattle in Ari- zona, he will not allow any more such arrivals at his port. They can be ad- mitted at Nogales and Yuma, however after being examined by the Territor ial Veterinarian of Arizona and pro nounced free from contagious diseases This action was taken on the request of the Commissioner of Agriculture.

AMIsCnIEvoUs LETTER.
The British Minister to the United States Unconsci0usiy Explodes Political
 Eolob.

The following is the correspondence that is causing any amount of worry to the supporters of President Cleveland, and which will result in the recall of Lord Sackville West:
 Pomona (Cal), September 4, 1888.
 To the British Minister, W Washington, D. C.-Sir * As you are the foun- taln-head of knowledge on the ques- ton and know whether MT. Cleve- lands present policy is temporary only and whether he will, as soon as he secures another term of four years in the Presidency, suspend it for one of friendship and free trade, apply to you privately and coniidentially for information, which shall in turn be treated as entirely secret. Such in- formation would put me at rest my self, and, if favorable to NIT. Cleveland, enable me on my own responsibility to assure many of our countrymen that they would do England a service by voting for Mir. Cleveland and against the Republican system of tariff.
 As l before observed, we know not what to do, but look for more light on mysterious subject, which the sooner it comes will better enable true Eng ishmen in casting their votes.

Suffering in Dakota.

A Minneapolis dispatch says: J. Harpmann, just returned from Ram sey, Dakota, tells the story of the ter rible suffering of the Polish Jews com posing the settlement of 90 families near Devils Lake. They came there two years ago and went to work to be- come independent farmers. Those without money mortgaged their land to pay the government price, but prospects frightening up after raising their first crop they further mortgaged their lands and other property to buy stock and farming implements. The second crop was disastrous failure owing to the severe frosts in August, and the creditors becoming alarmed foreclosed and merchants refused them further credit. The situation became so bad that the sheriff refused to infict further suffering by taking their property. They are now in abject poverty without fuel or bread. All are in rags and ice formed Saturday a quarter of an inch thick

IN the estimates made of the prob able majority that Hon. M. A. Smith will receive for Delegate to Congress, upon the day of election, Pinal county has been set down to give three hun dred. As near as can be judged from the open expressions of favor for MT. Smith, this county will give him at least six hundred majority and per haps more. With very few excep- tions, republicans and democrats alike are openly supporting Mir. Smith in the belief that his able services in be- half of the people of Arizona fully warrant them in ignoring political lines for this time. No argument ol specious sophistry can change this sentiment and the fact will be devel
 oped next Tuesday that MT. Smith will receive over six-hundred majority in Final county, notwithstanding it is generally conceded to be a repub

He became candidate very reluctant ly and only at the earnest wishes of his friends who recognize his sterling worth and integrity.

THE BRITISH MINISTER'S REPLY.

Beverly (Mass.), Sept. 13, 1888.
 Sir; 1 am in receipt of your letter of the 4th inst, and beg to say that 1 fully appreciate the difficulty in which you find yourself in casting your vote You are probably aware that any po- litical party which openly favored the mother country at the present mo ment would lose popularity, and that the party in power is fully aware of this fact The party, however, is, I believe, still desirous of maintaining friendly relations with Great Britain. and is still as desirous of settling all questions with Canada which have been unfortunately reopened since the rejection of the treaty by the Republi- can majority in the Senate, and by the Presidents message, to which you allude. All allowances must, there fore, be made for the political election thus created.
 It is, however, impossible to predict the course which President Cleveland may pursue in the matter of retalia ton should he be elected but there is every reason to believe that, while up holding the position he has taken, he will manifest a spirit of conciliation 1T dealing with the question involved 1T his message. 1 inclose an article iron the New York Times of August 22d and remain, yours faithfully,

Diamond-Covered Boots,

Few persons would think of looking for
fresh knowledge in the simple backing of
boot, but 1t is nevertheless a most inter.
esting subject. did it ever occur to
you," said a chemist, "what remarkable
and unique process the blacking of boot
Is? You see, we smear the boot with a
preparation Of bone black, which is en-
tirely devoid Of luster. and then, by the
friction of a dry brush, make it shine like
the sun. There is not another process
like this anywhere in the arts so far as I
know, and | never read anywhere anv SCI
entlfic explanation of the process. | have
theory OF my own, however, which [
will give you for what it is worth. The
key TO the mystery lies in the fact that
diamond is nothing more than crystallized
carbon. The backing is little more than
carbon paste, and the friction of a hair
brush being one of the most efficient
methods OF generating electricity, has the
effect oi crystallizing the carbon of the
backing. As soon as this is done the boot
Is {. covered with millions of infinitely small
diamonds, and, of course, begins to shine
as mass OF diamonds would. OF course
tins Is not perfect explanation of the
What part the other in
gradients of the backing play, and espe-
clally why it is that the blacking must be
moistened cannot tell perhaps some one
else can. But feel pretty sure that the
oootblacks are engaged in turning black
