of town, were married last Tuesday

An A. & g. w. time table, issued
January 4th, 1854, was unearthed from
the Company's archives at the Erie
freight depot in this city, one day last
week.
The road was then in operation from
Meadville to Kent, distance of 994
miles, and accommodated the travel
ing public with four trains each way
two passenger and two freights. The
'.New York Express" was a daily
advent to the towns along this famous
line, and the people thought that the
ne plus ultra of railroad wonders had
been brought to their doors, on the
final announcement that a direct line
was open to the seaboard. The East
bound trains were numbered 2, 6, s,
and 10; those West bound, /, 5, Z, 8.
IF. Sweetser was Superintendent,
and o. s. Lyford Div. Supt. The
present Meadville telegraph call-H,

MEXICAN LEAD ORES,

The matter of the free importation Of
Mexican lead ores, mined by miners who
receive from % to IS cents per day, is
one OF the most vital Importance to New
Mexico and her mine owners and min
ers. Under the free trade Cleveland adj
ministration, which favored every foreign
interest at the expense of American labor
the fraudulent importation of Mexican
lead ores did great harm to the lead min
ing interests of the western states and
territories. However, a change of adj
ministration is bringing about change,
and that greatly for the better; we quote
from the New York Press, one OF the
ablest and most influential Republican
papers in the country.
More than two weeks ago The Press in
formed its readers that the treasury
department had in preparation circular
to custom house officials in relation to
the fraudulent importation of Mexican
lead ore which would at any rate make it
more difficult to defraud the government
out OF its revenue and the western lead
miner out OF the protection accorded him
in the metal schedule. The circular has
been promulgated, and will inaugurate
most stringent regulations in relation to
the entry, sampling, inspection, unloading
and handling Of these mixed ores. The
object of all this will be to ascertain
as far as possible ii the mixing of lead and
silver ore was done for the purpose OF
avoiding duty.
This is a step in the right direction, and
if the circular is vigorously put into force
the ores in which it appears that the
value Of the component parts OF lead clear
ly predominates will be assessed for duty
as such, whereas the ore which would
seem to honestly constitute silver ore will
be admitted as such free of duty. No doubt
the mining interests Of the west will be
glad of stricter enforcement of the law,
but it is not all they had hoped from
Secretary Window.
Lead is dutiable or lead is free. If it is
dutiable one-third of the entire consump-
ton should not be coming in free of duty.
That is q foregone conclusion. There
may be, as suggested in some quarters,
certain decisions of former secretaries OF
the treasury which take different ground.
What OF that? Is Sec. Window bound
by any such decisions? The Press thinks
not. The same, in measure, was true
in the worsted case. Sec. Fairchild had
given it as his opinion that nothing could
be done. And yet something has been
done. A step has been taken to save the
American worsted industry from total
destruction. DO the same with the lead
mining industries of the far western
states, and great Republican victory will
follow next fall.

AN EMBARRASSING SITUATION.

From Judge Whiteman's opinion in the
Coler case, published in this issue OF the
New MEXICAN, it appears that he regards
the late funding act as permissiye only,
and not mandatory. There are lawyers
who take q contrary view of the statute +;
but the county commissioners are justified
in assuming the law to be what the court
declares. Under these circumstances
the county commissioners have to lace a
great responsibility. Tie wisdom OF the
funding principle is recognized by the
court in its opinion, rs well as by all per-
sons conyersant with the complicated
problem OF municipal finance. The poll,
cy of the act is to relieve the people from
the immediate pressure OF outstanding in
debtedness.
A city or a county overburdened with
debt and unable to pay in cash, is in the
same predicament as n merchant suffering
under present ADVERTISEMENTS, although
hopeful OF the future. In either case, in
diligence from the creditor is necessary tt
avoid loss or possible ruin. The funding
act substitutes ten to twenty years Credi
for deiaulted debt, and prevents litga
ton and ruinous judgments.
If, as estimated by Judge Whiteman
the claims set up against the county arr
legal, the necessary result must be ajudg
ment which will necessitate an additional
tax levy this year OF perhaps 4 or 5 pei
cent, under which our wealthy taxpayers
may be each called upon to pay from
81 900 to $1,000 additional tax this year
Surely it would be better to make thu
funding bill available as Il protection
against impending disaster.

We are too apt to regard a small almcnt much

digiously strengthens in proportion, and begets

when the system should have been braced by
recent sleep, unaccountable nervousness, mac
tiyity of the kidneys or bladder-what are these
but the precursors of obstinate and serious bodl-
ly disturbance? In either of the above emer-
gencies, common sense and experience unite in
indicating Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as the
best preventive. Particularly should its use be
prompt when the languor, yawning, chilliness
down the back, and feverishness that precede a
malarial attack, manifest themselves. Incip-
lent rheumatism grows apace. Don't neglect It.

EQUAL JUSTICE FOR ALL.


About month ago the New MEXICAN
published letter written by fudge A. l..
Morrison, concerning the policy Sec.
Noble has adopted in the management OF
Indian affairs. A copy OF the paper was
sent to the secretary. 4 lew days ago
the following was received here by Mr..
Morrison:
A, l., Morrison, ESD, Santa Fr, \, N,
WASHINGTON, July s, lSS9.-Dear Sir
Yours OF the 9th ultimo, with its inclosed
article written 10y You for the New MENI-
CAN, has been received, thank you very
much for your kind interest i'll my action.
Ny purpose is to hold the balance even
between the white man and the Indian,
and to secure Justice for both. | think
the Indian has been greatly wronged be-
vond any necessity for the white mans
entire prosperity. think npon the other
hand, that the Indians have been played
upon beyond what is necessary, and if [
can secure the great boon OF justice to all,
| shall have discharged my duty to the
satisfaction Of myself and hope TO the
great good Of my country Very respect
fully, JOHN W. NOBLE, Secretary
The above foreshadows clearly the posi-
ton Sec. Noble has occupied and the
policy he will pursue in connection with
the administration Of Indian affairs.
Exact Justice to all is his motto, and the
secretary is evidently the man who will
carry it out to the letter without fear or
favor. Gen. Mobiles selection Tor cahi-
net position is proving to he one OF the
very best made by President Harrison.
