4 'Busted' Consul.

We are reliably informed, says the Nogales Herald, that United States Consul Kelton, at Mazatlan, Mexico, is just now in more financial trouble than the most astute diplomat could possibly get out of without more per sonal embarrassment than any man could desire. It appears that in addi- tion to his official duties he was acting as the agent for the Mexican Central Railroad, the Express company and the Waters Pierce Oil company. For some reason his income did not suffice to keep him out of the financial mire and he is now several thousand dol lars worse than "dead broke."
 Some time ago the express company took their business out of his hands and it is said that that corporation thereby escaped being heavy losers, but the oil company and the railroad company did not fare so we'll. To the former he is indebted something like ten thousand dollars but just how badly the railroad company got pinched has not been made known.
 MT. Kelton was appointed Consul at Mazatlan soon after Cleveland was elected president and so far as is known made very fair official outside of his business record. He is said by those who know him to be clever gentleman and much sympathy is ex- pressed for him.

Gen. Crock and His PetS.

Major Katzerlitzky, of the Mexican army, with headquarters at Bavispe. Sonora, IS in the city. He informed us that the earth was still trembling ln that part of the country. He also said in conversation with friend. in speaking of General Crook, that Crook was at one time an able soldier. and a good Indian fighter, but had of late years become so much of religious crank that he was united to further command troops, or deal with savages. It seems that the Major was formerly a soldier in the American army and served under Crook, and at the time General Crook was in the hands of Geronimo and his band of cut throats. the Major was sent with detachment Of Mexican troops to relieve Crook which he did but was not allowed by General Crook to attack or open fire upon the Apaches, Crook saying he dld not desire the shedding of blood; that everything would be all right without making any sacrifce.-Noga- les Record.

FORT BOWIE, February 6, 1896.
 EDITOR EPITAPH II have read with some attention the article of c. F. Spray entitled "The State and Re ligion." He need not have searched into ancient history to find out that people have always been superstitious, and superstition clings to them yet. The constitution of these United States was formed for and by the peo- pie and is political document, and it was not the intention to favor any system of religion, and in that is it's great wisdom shown. The sticklers for theocratic government have ever striven to crowd in their particular tenets, but the world has had enough of such government; it has ever been domineering and oppressive, Any re- ligiOn that calls for the civil law to enforce its tenets is on the road to de- cay.
 To keep one day in seven, as a rule, may be, OF may not be, good thing {; but to compel by law all to observe it as holy day, whatever the exigencies or inclinations may be. savers of the old spirit that burned people as heretics that dared to question. John Huss was burned at the stake by fel- low churchmen because he had dared to speak of the abuses and corruptions of the church. Immortal Bruno was sentenced by the Inquisition and burned because he dared to think, and the present Pope is still whining over the honor done to his memory upon the spot where he was burned.
 After the experience of fifteen cen turies of war and bloodshed through theo-politico governments, the people are beginning to look with a cold eye upon state religions, and with cause.
 These great sticklers for Sunday laws are not themselves consistent. If they were the contribution box (beg pardon, the receptacle for the offerings') should not be passed around until Monday, besides, no food should be cooked on Sunday. no street cars or mail cars run, and might be well to re-enact the Joshua fable and have the earth and all the planets stand still and be rested" on that seventh day.

An Experts Opinion.

General Manager Jackson of the Central railway is reported as saying that the scheme for building rail- road to the Isthmus of Panama and into the heart of South America seems to be impracticable. Insurmountable difficulties prevent the construction of the road, and, even were it construct ed, the company could not compete with steamship and railway route by way of Tehuantepec. The railroad across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec will soon be finished, and it will shorten travelling distance from New Orleans to Western South American ports many hundreds of miles.-Mex- ican Financier.
