 And from the moment they boarded the boat until they left it six frightful hours later, Higgins had his 'jolly time of it'' racing from the engine room to the deck after one or more of the five little Higginses and saying:

CALIFORNIA.

The last legislature passed bill offer
ing reward of So for each cayote scalp
delivered to the properly designated
state or county officers. This was toe
big a plum TO pass unnoticed by the
great American Spectator and cayote
farms-where the animal was bred and
reared-were soon reported from all sec
tions of the state. Even the cayotes of
Arizona were levied upon for bounty
scalps and La, the poor Indian, was
busy on the plains gathering in the
luckless quadrupeds at a dollar apiece,
and regular shipments were made to
the California trade. illquite recently
so many scalps were being turned in as
to threaten to bankrupt the state. This
was the condition of affairs less than
two weeks. Now, however, the scalp
spectators are panic stricken, the
attorney general of the state has gone
back on his former opinion and pro-
nounces the law unconstitutional and
declares that the scalp hunters must
whistle for their money as none will be
paid by the state. This decision, while
it gives the cayote breathing spell, has
thoroughly disguised his pursuers, and
he breeding farm owners. Lots,of law
uits are threatened and the end is not

The entire press of the county from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, continues It's
discussion on the meeting of the Ma
tional Republican Committee at which
Senator Quay resigned the chairman
ship of the national ard executive COM
mittees. His resignation from the latter
YVES a genuine surprise, and left the
executive committee no choice in the
matter; they were compelled TO accept
the resignation of the Craftsmanship Of
the executive committee, leaving the
resignation of Craftsmanship Of the full
committee to be acted upon by that
body when it meets in November TO
name the time and place for holding the
next national convention. Another sur
prise was the resignation of Gen. W. W.
Dudley, as treasurer Of both committees,
which was rendered as soon as the audit
ing committee had reported. General
Dudley leaves his post because his pri-
vate business needs his attention. Both
designations were accepted with great
reluctance, and resolutions were passed
endorsing both of the retiring officials
that any man would be proud of. These
resolutions were printed in the CITIZEN
at the time. The committee elected Mr..
J. S. Clarkson chairman, and Mr.. G. a.
Hobert, of New Jersey, vice chairman,
and instructed the chairman to appoint
a treasurer, while the committee was in
session one of its members-J. Sloat
Fassett, of New York, was notified that
the president had appointed him col
lector of the port Of New York, vice
Erhardt resigned. As this is regarded
the best federal position in New York,
it is needless to say that he was warmly
congratulated by his colleagues in the
committee. We have no doubt on
earth but that Mr. Clarkson will succeed
to che permanent chairmanships Of the
two committees. We cannot but regret
that the committees should lose the
great services of Senator Quay and Gen
oral Dudley, but at the same time it
must be fattering to the republicans of
the country to see the responsibility of
political management fall to such men
as Col. Clarkson. No sleep need be lost
over future results, while he stands at
the head of the committees.

THERE is not man who reads dem
ocrat or mugwump newspaper that has
not seen the statement reiterated dozens
of times that the Mckinley bill would
entirely destroy our foreign trade be-
cause foreign countries would not buy
from us unless they could sell to Us.
Now for few facts, things that demo
Gratis have never had much use or liking
for. This week the bureau of statistics
issued q review Of our foreign commerce
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1891,
who shows it to have been greater than
that Of any year in our history, its
total value reaching the enormous
amount of 81, 729, 33O,S96. So much for
the whole, now for our imports of for
eign merchandise during the first nine
months under the Mckinley tariff law:
Was there falling off? Not a bit of
it. Our imports from October 6, 1890, to
June 80, 1891, under the Mckinley law,
reached valne of s630,206,OO4, against
$685., 800 for the corresponding pc
riod in the previous fiscal year, which is
an increase of 31,436,1 100. This isn't
political buncombe, but it is from Off
cial figures. Republicans would do well
to paste these figures in their hats and
spring them upon every democrat who
attempts to mIsrepresent the effect
which the Mckinley bill has had upon
our foreign commerce. Now word
about what we sold to foreign countries:
Our exports for the year ending June
80, 1891 reached SS44, 425. 405, which was
S26,94l,7 1877 more than we exported the
year before. That looks like foreigners
refusing to buy from US, doesn't 1t?

THERE is great opportunity in NOW
Mexico foe New England school marms
Some 200 or 800 school teachers are
wanted in that territory. AS result OF
the lew school law, schools are being
established in various parts of the ter
ritory, and the supply of competent
teachers is far from great enough for
the demand. New England maidens
would do we'll to communicate with the
superintendent of public instruction at
Santa Fe. By doing SO some of them
would likely secure good situations as
teachers next fall. Inside of year they
would secure husbands, for wives are in
as great demand in New Mexico as
teachers. This is an opportunity the
Yankee girls should rot let slip. New
Mexico has delightful climate, and it
is a growing and prosperous country.
AS place in which to live, it is immeas-
urably superior to New England. --Den
