The story of how Gen. Andrew Jackson got the name of Old Hick- ory is again going the rounds, and will be new to some. During the Creek war he had a bad cold, and his soldiers made for him a shelter of hickory bark. The next morn ing a tipsy soldier not knowing who was under the bark, kicked it over. As the general speeches. with rage, struggled out of the ruins, the soldiers yelled, Hello, Old Hickory. Come out of your bark and take drink" When they saw Jackson shaking the bark from his uniform, they gave three cheers for. "OId Hickory" and the name stuck.

Gambling in Mexico.

A statement comes from thC
 press of Mexico that the annual ex pense of the gambling houses O
 the City of Mexico amount to fifty. three thousand nine hundred and forty dollars, of which sum two hundred and sixteen thousand dol lars is paid into the charity fund as
 the price of the toleration of the au- thorities. The total annual win
 nings are estimated at one million
 four hundred and seven thousand
 eight hundred and forty, to which
 is added the sum of two hundred
 thousand dollars, the gains of the
 pawn shops on articles pledged to
 secure money for gambling. This
 would make the total losses per annum amount to one million six
 hundred and seven thousand four hundred and eighty dollars. Gam bling is not licensed in Mexico, but tolerated because it Is alleged, that an experience of many years has proven that 1t cannot be sup pressed and 1t Is thought wise to make those who profit by It C ol . tribute to the public charities and at the same time restrict the num- Der of gambling establishments.
 Gambling houses even when sub iected to the strictest P plioe regula- tions, are necessarily domoraIizing, and while it is utterly impossible to calculate the poverty and distress caused by gambling, it is quite pro- bable that the istencc ofthc gam bling houses in Mexico, causes an of more than $21G,000 to the city for the support or assis tance of the victims of the gaming tables and their families. Ift.lis is the ease, and it very likely is, it fol- lows that the ,oleration Of gambling by the local authorities is financially a mistake, to say nothing about the moral injury sustained by the com But when we consider the pecuniary losses of the men who fIe- luent these houses and their com paratively small number, it must be admitted that the sum which they loose in the course of a year is out of proportion to thelr earnings. If this was not the, case the profits oi the pawnbrokers would not be so enormous,no is it probable that the and criminality of the city would be so great as at the present. .El Paso Tribune.

COpP'S LAND REVIEW.
Heroic Treatment Given Mir. HOl-
 man'S Suspension Bill.

Written for the St. Johns Herald.
 The bill introduced by Mir. Hol man on August 18th entitled "A bil to suspend all laws touching the disposal of public lands except the homestead law, and for other purposes" to which reference has twice been made by me, came uT for action in the House of Repre- sentatives on the 21st inst, and was most thoroughly pruncd.
 The entire first section of the bill, as originally presented by NIT. Hol- man, was stricken out, which re- moved nearly all of the provision against which objections were di- rected, leaving only that portion relating to railroad grants.
 The public land laws will con- tinue to be executed as heretofore. Persons who have made pre-emp- ton filings and timber-culture en- tries may legally perfect title. Those who made homestead entries with the understanding that they could commute the same to cash at any time after the expiration of six months from date of entry, will be permitted to complete the same in accordance with the terms of their contracts and persons who accepted pledges of the government redeem able in public land for waivers of valid and valuable claims, may continue to locate their scrip.
 The people of the great Northwest are to be congratulated upon the escape they have experienced, as nothing could have more seriously injured the growth of the section, than the passage of the bill as in troduccd.
 The bill was so changed that tie title was found inapplicable and "A bill relating to railroad land grants" was substituted. Itsimply provides that during the bonding of the measures now before Congress in relation to the forfeiture of cor- tain lands heretofore granted by Congress to railroad corporations and thereafter, no act done or per formed by any such corporation shall in anywise enlarge the right or claim of any such corporation to any lands covered by any such grant, or diminish any right now existing ill the United States to de clare the forfeiture thereof. This provision shall not be constued to to in anywise affect CT diminish or waive any right now existing in be- half of the United States to de- clare the forfeiture of any of the lands embraced in any such grant.

The Difference.

The Boston Pilot expressed the whole essence of the principle of protection when it said-"AII We want to protect is wages; this in- wolves protection to manufacturers, but protection to manufactures does not involve this. And the difference between the two great parties of the country today is that the repub- lican party party seeks to protect the rich manufacturer, while the democratic party proposes to pro- tect the Iaborer. The democratic policy is to reduce the tariff where ever such reduction will reduce the price, to the laboring man, of the necessaries of life, but keep up the traiff at every point where its reduction would reduce the wages of labor; while the republican pol icy is to shape the tariff in the in tcrest ofthe manUfacturcr, and let the Iaborer take care Of himself.

lIdL LllIS lONIi-SItt uIOIIEE Is tu6 greese which smcothes the axels? Many people think that likcly-all will believe it to be true. unless the statement required by law, is soon furnished.
 Whatis their republican paper for and what has been its mission? 4 sluice gate, though which these worthies can pour the virus of their personal spite. A battering ram, which has vainly battered away at every thing reputable i'll the county government, and spent it's force weekly in the criticism and censure of every decent gentleman, connec- ted with the present local admins tration. A public journal that has chuckled over the failure of justice, and encouraged an ignorant official in the failure of his public duty; dirty sheet that is built of nothing i; that has wasted it's strength in throwing filth at the good name of the county.
 But what does this trio care? They have nothing to lose and all to gain.
 As sure as the night follows the day, however, they will fail, for their whole stock in trade is mendacity
 They lie about every thing and everybody. From early morn to dewy eve they lie. No stranger comes town, but that they grab him, and pin him, as cruel children do butterflies, to the wall, and into his unwilling ear they pour q red hot stream of lies, about everybody and everything. Their whole time and energy is devoted to surcharging strangers with malicious misstate- ments about men, who in all that goes to make a gentleman, arc their supcrior3.
 This trio is the head and front, soul and body of the peoples ticket.
 They have their iieutenants, .o9c, J. L, Hubbell, who was a. defahIter Ige tie c46uhty Wien Eg E9 5 fetiijYed fI6hal office, ..: - ewafrant 'fo soF S2.460 was 'fforEefbfy f5E{lfftb held BaGk By 2 tgt tR Supervi sors, to mako good his debt. He now owes this county over $500 de Iinqucnt taxes, until recently forced to pay them by the District Attcf- ncy, he had refused to pay one cent to the expense of the government, for three years.
 Barry Mathews brings up the rear. A disappointed democrat, having forfeited the regard of all his fellow partizans he has fled into the congcnial arms of the above mentioned gang, is the chief anony- nous dirt finger for the Review. Having proven himself an ut ter ingrate, his last act was a cow ardly attempt to assassinate the man who had fed and housed him for more than two years. He has finally reached the usual ultimatum of such a career, the county jail, and while there, may have time to real ize that he was welcomed by the men whom he formerly abused, be- cause, forsooth they could use him, we do not believe the decent peo- pie of either party will march un- der a banner raised by such a crew.
 To every democrat who follows them we say, go and stay, the dem scratic party of Apache County have arr9nUo1 tO dO without you

ST. GEORGE CREAGUE

ty-has filed several places of pub lie trust. and has always retired with clean. hands, and without even a suspicion of wrong doing in any particular. He is a large stock own CT and a heavy tax payer, and con sequently interested in an econom- ical administration of the county government. If elected the people can rest assured that he will do his whole duty without fear or favor making nc distinction between friend or foe.
 NAT GREER
 May be said to have been raised in this county-his father having moved hore from Texls when he was quite a youngster. He also is 6 heavy tax payer, and if elected, will fill the office with credit to himself and honor to the county.
 LEGIsLUTURE.
 Our legislative ticket is one of the best that could have been selec- ted. They are gentlemen of intel ligence and refinement, and if elec- ted, will reflect credit not only on the county but the territory. There are a great many inconsistencies ill our code which should be correct ed, and there are things left out which should be filled in--for in stance our election laws need revi- sion. Every voter should be re- quired to cast his ballot in his own precinct Such a law would make illegal voting next to impossible.
 SUPERVISORS.
 The democracy has placed be- fore the people two names, ?. I. Colman of Bush Valley, R. C. Bias singame who resides near the cen Ire of the county. Both are men of intelligence and good business Qual- ifcations, and will sfii the office honestly and with. advantage to the taxpayers.
 AUrHUR ATHT0N ~ Is young man of more than ordinary ability, as isshown by the manner in which he has filled the office of District Clerk. Any one who can, with only the experience of one term of court elicit from the officer such conmcnda- ton as was bestowed on him by Judge Wright at the closing of our last term of court, would undoubt- edIy mako q good recorder.
 JAMES. D. LIKENS Our candidate for assessor, is a young man, active, energetic, and well acquainted with the county. He is just starting in life and will use all diligence to retire from office with a good record, and will un- doubtedly do so. New Mexico sheep owners, who drive their hocks into this county every spring to eat up our grass, will have to bear their proportion of the bur dens of ssgovernment under his ad- ministration.
 J. T. LESUEJR
 For Probate Judge, is well known to the people of Apache County. He is our present Treasurer, and has filled this responsible position in a manner highly creditabIe to and with entire satisfac- tion to the people. He will fill the office of Probate Judge in the same manner, doing even and exact jus tice to all, will make his report to the Supervisors at the end of every quarter, and will retire from this position with the same credit with which he will retire from the Treasureship-that of an honest, honorable, capable servant of the people.
 The rest of the ticket, cannot be upon, they are men of intelligence, of honesty and upright ness,and the people owe it to them selves to elect the ticket from top to bottom, and will do so.

DAKOTIANS APPOINTED.

Recently the GLOBE took occasion to
note the unfairneSS of the complaint.
that no attention was being given by
the administration to the interests of
the territory in filling the offices. 1t
was shown that, as a rule, the selections
were made from residents. One of the
papers that has kept the tally finds that
of twenty-nine appointments made by
President CLEVELAND, twenty of them
more than twO-thirdS-Were filled by
recognized and acceptable Dakotians.
Those not regarded as residents is Gov.
CHURCH, who was member of the SUI
preme court of the territory at the time
of his appointment. Both of the land
officers at Fargo were neighbors
across the Minnesota line, and
familiar with the territory. The
others named by the president are two
associate justices and four land Office
officials. 1t is we'll to remember also
that out of this number seven were old
soldiers who had done good service in
the army of the republic. This is GER
tainly showing that Democrats need
not hesitate to compare with any pre-
cedents of Republican administrations.
1t may be admitted that Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND has not hewed quite up to the
line of the Democratic platform, but
the saints who can throw stones are not
found in the ranks of any political party
now in the field. 1t certainly does not
become Republicans to look in this di-
rection for party ammunition.

THE STANDISH BILL.

Attorney W. II. STANDIsH, of Da-
kota, has acquired some note from the
persistence with which he has for years
pressed his measure designed, as
claimed, to preserve for the use of the
people the pine timber of Northern
Minnesota. He has secured the in
dorsement of the legislature and Farm
ers' Alliance of Dakota and insists
that it is more important matter to the
people of Dakota than even statehood.
Tuesday he presented the subject to
the Fargo board of trade, which referred
it to Gen. ALLEN as an old, experienced
lumberman. Mr.. STANDIsH then adj
dresses letter to Gen. ALLEN, setting
forth his views and insisting that the
question shall be made an issue in the
election of a delegate to congress. He
says:
/ further believe that no party OF this terri
tory is strong enough to elect any candidate
10 congress who forces either a sale OF the
soil of our pine lands in Minnesota or the
stumpage on them before it shall be cut; and
as a lifelong Republican, l have concluded
that no such candidate from Dakota shall
have my suffrage, no matter who he shall be
or what party presents him.
Gen. ALLEN will not be likely to i'm
peril the support indicated by an I'M
favorable report; and the fact that he
has risen from the rolling log to his
present eminence may suggest to his
supporters some campaign legend and
inspiration such as did service for CLAY
and LINCoLN-"the mill boy of the
slashes," rail SPLITTER" etc. Put to
song, it may make the Dakota prairies
melodious this summer.
