and who say the boy was waiting for
the Connecticut authorities to notify
him tina he was wanted.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The members OF both the council
and house have put in most OF the
time for the past week talking on the
various bills before them.
A great deal Of attention has been
paid to the high license bill introduced
in the council. The house passed a
substitute for it. The subtitute pro-
vides that the liquor license in towns
aud precincts Of less than 500 popula-
ton, shall be 500 a year; in towns Of
over 500 and less than LOCO, $500, and
in tcwns Of over 1000 population,
saloons shall pay a license of s40O a
year; no license shall be issued for less
than a year, etc. The sentiment OF
the legislature as expressed in this
matter marks an epoch in the history
OF New Mexico. The substitute may
get to be a law, and it may not.
The bills repeating the meat inspec-
tion act and for the condemnation OF
private property by municipal corpora.
tions were passed by both houses and
signed by the governor.
The council bill relating to justices
Of peace, provides that such officers
shall hold for two years: shall be elect
ed on the first Monday in January and
enter upon their duties one month
later
Among the many new bills intro
duced We note the following:
The committee on territorial affairs
reported c. B. Nc. 35, providing that
sherif's shall feed county prisoners at
60 cents per day per man. The com.
mittee recommended that the price
be fixed at so cents.
An act creating the Office Of count,
clerk, defining his duties and com
pensation.
Authorizing the admission Of church
records and family records as eyi
dence.

1t was to be- expected that Sir John A.
Macdonald would retain his hold upon the
Dominion government. In the last Parlia-
ment he had majority Of fifty: and to over
throw that in campaign Of about a month
in the midst Of winter when it was difficult
for the farmers on whom the Liberals chiefly
rely to get to the polls was here ulean task
Yet the Liberals came much nearer accom-.
piishing it than was generally deemed posi-
BILE. The majority of 30 is cut down more
than one half and it looks very much as IL q
month more of discussion would have sweep,
1t away entirely. The Conservatives relied
chiefly on the loyalty cry, and 1t is a curious
TACT that the provinces that have the least to
be loyal for, namely, the maritime provinces
of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia and which
nave the most to gain from free trade with
the United States stood by the government
far better than the provinces of Ontario and
Quebec on which the government has chiefly
showered Its favors and which would proba.
bly, reap the least benefit from unrestricted
reciprocity with the United States. Though
Sir John has maintained himself for the time
being the general result shows that there |,
growing feeling in the Dominion for closer
trade relations with the United States. This
feeling Is certain to increase rather than d.
minish In the future. and seeing this 1t
would not be at all surprising if Sir John
Macdonald should steal the Liberal thunder
and become champion of Unrestricted Ereci-
procity. himself. OF course it would be a
remarkable somersault. but Sir John has
frequently. demonstrated his great capacity
for inconsistency. What be aims at chiefly
Is success. About the means he is not very
particular.

ferhaps the Republicans of the Illinois
legislature did the best thing possible under
the circumstances In agreeing to support A.
j. Streeter, the Farmers Alliance candidate
Tor Senator. The alternative was probably
the election of John M. Palmer, the Demo-
cratic candidate. who would have stood with
the Democrats in the Senate on all political
matters. Streeter will undoubtedly act
with the Republicans on most political
measures. 1t is greatly to be regretted,
however. that ex-Gov. Oglesby. better
man than either Streeter or Palmer, could
not have been chosen. he would have beer
gain in the Senate. Streeter will count 10,

can be said.

Two Cuban physicians, Drs. Finlay and
Delgardo, of Havana, have found use for
mosquitoes. They have discovered that the
mosquito bite under certain conditions is an
almost certain preventive Of yellow fever.
Their method consists in inoculating a per-
son subject to yellow fever with the virus
obtained by mosquito bite from person
having the disease. A mosquito is allowed
to sting sick person and is then transferred
TO the person to be treated. In singing the
healthy person 1t Is supposed that some par
ticles Of the virus are introduced into the
circulation, but In modified form, so that IL
they communicate the disease at all it is In a
milo form. The principle involved is about
the same as In inocculation for small pox.
Drs. Finlay and Delgard0 have been expert
-menting with this novel treatment for the
last ten years. AID have followed up fifty
two cases of their own, besides observing
cases treated by other physicians. OF the
htty-two persons subjected by them to mos
quito incubation twelve experienced mild
attack of yellow fever between the fourth
and the twenty-sixth days; twenty-four
others had the fever In mild form before
the end OF three years; three others con-
tracted well-marked yellow fever within
three years. and one person who had been
inoculated had fatal attack at a later time.
The remaining twelve neither had the fever
nor experienced any effects from incubation.
OF sixty-fve monks who arrived at Havana,
thirty-three were inoculated; only two con-
tracted the fever, and neither of them died.
Of the thirty-two who were not inoculated
eleven had severe attacks Of the fever and
five died.

Mr.. True and the Water COMPANY.

Inc Argus has several times insinuated
that the Hon. George W. True was in some
way interested in the Portland Water Com
pany, and that his election to the mayor
atty would enure to the benefit of that
corporation In the pending contro-
versy with the city concerning water
rates. There is not one word of truth in the
story. Mr.. True is identified with the Water
Company in no way nor shape. He owns
none of the bonds and none of the stock.
The only interest he has in it is the interest
of citizen Of Portland to have the water
rates made as low as possible. Mr.. True. If
elected mayor, will labor assiduously for
such an adjustment of the water rates as
will be fair and just to the water users.
Any insinuation to the contrary is untrue,
and its repetition after this statement will
be malicious falsehood which no honora-
Bile man or newspaper will indulge In.

Gov. Hill in his attempt to make little
capital for himself with the Connecticut
Democrats has put himself and his State in
sorry predicament. The Governor de facto
OF Connecticut is Mr.. Buckley, whose reoui-
sition Hill refuses to recognize. He Is per-
forming the executive functions, and is
likely to continue so to do tor long time to
come. or course having once refused to
honor his reQuisition Hill must continue to
refuse or else admit that he was wrong.
which he is too much Of dema-
gosue to do. And having refused to recog-
nize Gov. Bulkeley's right to issue reouisi-
ton he cannot of course ask the Governor to
honor his acquisitions. for that would be a
recognition of the latter as Governor de fac
to. The consequence is that every Connect
cut criminal that gets into New York
has safe asylum there, and every New York
criminal who gets into Connecticut has
safe asylum there. Hill will not return Con-
necticut criminals and he cannot ask Bulk
ley to return New York criminals.
