SUN DAY.

A very narrow mind it must be that
would DENY the moral right of the citizen
to utilize his Sunday by trip into the
country such bright, genial, soul-insplr-
ing days as these. Sunday as day OF
rest can not more happily be passed by
many than by an excursion into the
mountains or valleys where all nature is
at the height of it's autumn beauty, the
rich foliage just assuming its myriad OF
superb colors, denoting the coming OF the
frost king and the waning of the year.
The occupations of many during the week
forbid their enjoying ga day in the woods"
at any time other than Sunday. Should
they see fit to thus pass the day who shall
proclaim it sacrllege? Mr.. Beecher once
said that the puritanical idea that Sunday
should be set aside as day OF silence, BE-
clusion and gloomy thought was all wrong.
The great preacher admitted that his
early training had been incorrect in this
matter and proclaimed that the Christian
Sunday is best spent in recreation, social
intercourse and innocent amusement
which does not exclude those delightful
righteous individuals are accustomed to
term "worldly."

Auditor Demetrio Perez proposes to see
that the letter and spirit OF the law, coz
corning the prompt settlement with the
territory for all taxes and licenses collect
ed by the several collectors IL the terri
torv, shall be carried out and that fully;
he will henceforth report to the solicitor
general all delinquent tax collectors {;
that official, under the law, must bring
suit against the several collectors ana
their bondsmen for the recovery
of all public funds not paid over or
accounted for as the law directs.
This action of these officials is proper
just and timely; all public funds should
be promptly and honestly paid over to
the proper officers designated by law as
the custodians of the public funds OF the
counties and of the territory.

Comes plantive wall,
From the Land of Fail;
Deep down by the Gulf OF Despair.

And the doom of boom in the boomless

Dropped with thud on the hither

A waiting wall,
From the moaning gale;

How the White Cap-Democratic 7x9
State smen Acted IN the goth
Legislature.
There will be no territorial courts held
in the 9th judicial district of New Mexico
this fall and none until 1892. The reason
OF this is that the appropriation for the
courts in this district for 1891 is exhaust
ed, so that his honor, Judge Freeman,
does not deem it best to attempt to hold
a territorial court. The United States
court for the 5th judicial district will be
held in December next, commencing on
the first Monday. Judge Freeman is
ready, anxious and willing to hold terri
torial courts, but there are no funds avail
able. The appropriations made by the
last legislature were only about half
enough for the year 1891, and all was ex-
hausted in the early spring terms. In
Socorro county large amount of bust
ness was disposed of, being some sixty.
six civil and thirty.six criminal cases.
In Lincoln eighteen civil and thirty
seven criminal cases were disposed OF.
This is a good showing, much more in
this county than was disposed of at any
three terms for years past, and in
Lincoln COUNTY S.ns .its Sa nsain snT eve,
transacted in one term. This fail
ure of appropriation is due to nc
one but the gentlemen com
posing the legislature of the goth legisla
tive assembly. To whom it is chargeable
to can be easily seen by reference to the
journals of the upper and lower house
The truth is these 7x9 statesmen who
from the outside dictated the policy of the
lower house are the ones to blame and nc
one else. Men with the interests of the
territory at heart were ousted from seats
to which they were elected and an ire
sponsble set of men seated, and the re,
suit is the people OF New Mexico are the
ones to suffer. -Socorro Chieftain.

ssRUNI,, IN GERNIANY.

The general impression in this country
is that there is not much regulation or
restriction of tie traffic in intoxicating
liquors in Germany, but a proposed new
law will, if it goes into effect, do some
thing against the abuse of spirituous
liquors. Some of its provisions are
similar to those of liquor laws in this
country.
Under this law licenses will be granted
only in cases where there appears to be
need for a retail liquor shop or for q
saloon. A license will be refused to any
one of immoral character or to people
who may be suspected of using the liquor
business as cloak for debsuchery, gam
bling, prostitution, etc. If the location
as, for instance, near the church-appears
undesirable, the license can also be re-
fused. In cities of over 5000 inhabitants
the retail trade in liquors must not be
connected with any other kind of trade.
Spirits must not be stored in salesrooms
which serve any other purpose than
that of selling liquor. Excepted from this
only are the drug stores, which may sell
liquors in sealed and labeled bottles. ALI
inn and saloon keepers must supply the
guests with non spirituous liquors if re-
quired, and also with eatables as far as
possible. They must keep strict order in
their places, and prevent anything which
may lead to the abuse of alcoholic drinks.
The different governments are allowed to
regulate the employment of female walters.
The police can forbid the sale of liquors
before Ga. m. The sale of drinks to
minors below the age of 16 is forbidden,
except in cases where they are accompa-
MED by grown persons or while travelling.
Inn and saloon keepers, as we'll
as retail dealers, are forbidden to
furnish liquor to people who have
become convicted of common drunk
enness within three years, also to
all intoxicated persons. They cannot ex-
pei drunken man from their premises
except by sending him to his home or to a
police station. Inn and saloon keepers are
not allowed to furnish liquors on credit
except in cases where the guest is taking
them with his meals. No claims for
liquors furnished in contravention of this
order can be legally collected. Common
drunkards and people who by their addic-
ton to liquor endanger the public welfare
or neglect their families can be placed
under legal guardianship. A fine up to
100 marks imprisonment up to four
weeks can be imposed upon any one who
becomes intoxicated while engaged in work
connected with the saving of life or the
prevention of FIRE, ETC., also, who attempts
such work while drunk, except in cases of
urgent need. The same applies to persons
engaged in taking care of the health of
others, such as physicians, nurses, etc.
If this proposed law becomes operative
the rum business in Germany will be
pretty well attended to. So far as we
know there is no law in Germany against
the abuse of beer.

AHOLEIN A THEORY.

-
The attention of free traders is cordially
invited to the case of the Bridgeport plush
factory. This factory is one of the results
of the Mckinley bill. Soon after the pas
sage of this bill large plush-making es-
tablishment in England found that if it
wanted to sell goods to advantage in this
country they would have to be made here.
So factory was bought in Bridgeport and
the work begun. Now according to the
free traders the duty on anything is SO
much added to the price, and western
free trade paper assumed that plushes must
have risen in price. A protectionist
thought he would test the correctness of
this assumption, and interviewed the
superintendent of the Bridgeport
plush factory. The superintendent said:
The statement that plushes have risen in
price is due either to entire ignorance of
the fact or to objectionable misrepresenta-
ton. Pushes are being marketed to-day
at the same price as before the passage of
the bill, the effect of the duty being mere
ly to more surely reserve the market to the
American producer. Under the old rate
we in England could break down the Amer
ican manufacturer every time. Reduce
the Mckinley tariff and plush manufacture
in the United States becomes impossible;
the higher rate of wages paid is the ir-
reconcilable element which prevents COM
petition with the foreigner Our present
plant is but an experiment; we are grad
ually enlarging it, and as our facilities for
manufacturing increase, and the American
competition which is sure to follow the en-
actment of the tariff begins, fall in the
price is inevitable.
Of course such incidents as these don't
make the free traders lose faith in their
theory. Nothing could do that.

CAPEL In DECAY.

sCatesby'' of DIsraeli,s ssLothaIr., n
Tutor on n California Ranch.
[San Francisco Letter to the Chicago Tribune /
The disappearance from the outside
world few years ago of the once famous
Mgr. Capel, the courtly, eloquent champi-
on of Catholicism, has from time to time
called forth numerous articles of inquiry
both in the English and American press
So far as the public is concerned the Mon
signor has been dead for about five years,
but in reality such is not the case. Nor
would any one suspect as much should he
drop into the luxuriously furnished home
on the Arno ranch, some twer ty-fve miles
south. asst of Sacramento, and there see q
man who looks every day of sixty-five, of
rather srout figure, and bearing every
evidence of a life anything but abstemious
But that parsonage would be Capel, not
the man so satirically characterized as
Mgr. Catesby in Lord Disrseli's "Lothair," :"
but an individual as totally different as
the characters of Jekyll and Hyde. For
the last few years he has been practically a
man of leisure, though he chooses to term
himself tutor in the family of the Coun-
tess Valensin, the divorced wife of that
natty little italian noble who is so well
known throughout the country as breed
er of fine horses.
The countess is an unprepossessing wo-
man of the bone and sinew order, with q
long, lantern-jawed face and complexion
of yellow leather. The first time that
there was such a person known to the out
side world as the Countess Valensin WAS
when her divorce suit came up in the uni
ted States court. The grounds were pecu-
liar, and it was apparent to all that there
was a strict desire to shirk the real ques-
| ton at issue or rather the grounds for di-
vorce. The plaintiff, who hailed from
Oakland, Cal, frequently intimAted that
| the count married her solely for her mon
ey. Valensin showed that he had money
when he married her and had imported
| fast horses here from the plains of north
ern Italy. He was dspper little fellow,
addicted to good clothes, patentleather
shoes, fast horses and a sunny smile. The
countess intended, after she had secured
her separation, to live in Oakland, but to
the surprise of all she moved away 10 the
ranch in Sacramento county, and then it
leaked out that, desirous of having her lit
tie son educated, she had prevailed upon
Mgr. Capel to accompany them there and
act as tutor to her boy.
The Monsignor has been seen in San
Francisco hardly once a year since his
| starting on the life of recluse. Your
correspondent had the pleasure of seeing
| the distinguished gentleman, however, q
short time ago in French restaurant on
| Z street in Sacramento. The doors of the
main room were suddenly flung open and

say, 'Let us sit here" My attention was
at once arrested. No man but Capel has
such a voice. looked up and it was the
day he arrived in San Francisco a few
