The large audience at Morrill, hall
Saturday night, which had gathered
to hear the big guns Of the democratic
party address the people on the issues
Of the day we're startled by Mr.. Fall,
who stated In substance that Mr.. An
eaeta told him on the platform Of Rim.
con "That while he, (Ancheta) could
not prove It, that be was satisfied in
his own mind that Mr.. Catron was at
the bottom Of the attempt which was
made to assassinate him In Santa Fe,
about two years ago"
Mr.. Ancheta has since replied to
this statement in his various speeches
at Central and Pinos Altos in substance
says that he had no conversation with
Mr.. Fall at Rincon. MIR Ancheta
came out of the dining room as Mr..
Fall entered it, and merely shook
hands with him as he sat down to the
table. In regard to these stories OF
the shooting, Mr.. Ancheta further
states that for several months past
prominent democrats have at differ
ent times Informed him that they had
positive proof that Mr. Catron was al
the bottom of the attempt on his life
He had replied to them that when the
proof was forthcoming that he would
have Mr. Catron arrested, but up TO
the present time not the slightest evil
dence had been given him, and that
in his opinion these statements had
been made with the hope of securing
his support for Mr.. Joseph.-Enter.
prise.
Such denials as the above are
worse than useless. Mr.. Ancheta
has made substantially the same
statement that he made to Mr.
Fall at different times and in diff
ferent places and not only can i
be proved that he made the state
ment to Mn. Fallibut the affidavits
of some of the best citizens of this
city that he made substantially
the same statement in their pres
ence can and will be obtained il
either Mr.. Ancheta or the Enter
prise want the proof.

AN ANSWER TINT KILLS.

A prominent democrat who was once n
publisher OF the SENTINEL, and now IN
terested in Cooks Peak mines, from
which he is receiving a princely revenue,
acknowledges that in the duty on Mex
lean lead ores the benefit of protective
tariff is demon strated. Enterprise.
Knowing that description could
fit but one man, a Headlight report
er interviewed S. NJ. Ashenfelter,
Esq. with a view to ascertaining
his real opinion as to the tariff
upon lead. MIR. Ashenfelter says:
'If it be true that this tariff upon
lead has increased its price, there
can be no question that 1 derive
direct benefit from the law; but
in face of that fact, l have no hes
taition in characterizing the law as
an unjust one. What right has the
government to take by the throat
my neighbor who wishes to paint
his house, and tell him he must
pay tribute to me before he can
do that Pointing; what right has
the government to raise the price
of a commodity like lead and add to
the expenses of every consumer
in the country, in order that /
may have the beneftY
"There is another phase to this
business" added Mr.. Ashenfelter,
''The Enterprise pretends to be
the friend of the silver producer,
as, for example, of Georgetown
The higher the price of lead, the
more the Georgetown silver pro
ducer is. compelled to pay for the
treatment of his ore. 1t bears the
same relationship as fuel. The leaC
ores are used as huxes for these
dry ores, and the higher the price
of lead the more it costs thesmelte
to reduce the dry ore and the NOR
the dry ore producer has to Fay
AS a practical proof of this, let tn
silver producer, sey of 100 ounc

TIN PLATE ORATORS.

It is a we'll known fact that tin
plate orators generally do not
have enviable regulations when
it comes to speaking the truth.
New Mexico's tin plate orator
vas here last week and made a
record from which he cannot get
away. In the presence Of fully
two hundred people at Morrill,
Hall last Tuesday evening Major
Morrison, the tin plate orator of
New Mexico, in endeavoring to
belittle the work of Delegate Jo-
seph in the house of representa-
tives said: "This statehood bill he
didn't introduce. Washington in
troduced it into the house" He
then went on in a burst of elo-
quence which fell upon the audi
ence like the explosion Of a decay
ed egg, to explain how proud we
ought to be to have the bill for
the admission of New Mexico in
troduced by a man named Wash
inpton
The official records show the
following;
"Fifty second congress, first
session. H. r. 7136. In the
house Of representatives. March
| IL, 1892. Referred to the commit
tee on the Territories and ordered
to be printed. Mr.. Joseph intro
duced the following bill: A bill
to enable the people of New Mex
leo to form a constitution and state
government, and TO be admitted
into the union on an equal footing
with the original states"
Maj. Morrison stated that when
the bill was up for passage Mr..
Joseph did not raise his voice in
support of it. The bill was passed
on Monday, June 6, 1892. The
Congressional Record, the official
publication of the proceedings OF
congress, of Tuesday, June Z, 1892
page $3.50, shows that he did raise
his voice in the house Of represen.
tatives at the time the bill was
under final consideration and but
a few minutes previous to it's pas
sage in support of the bill. Maj
Morrison may be right about these
matters but we prefer to take the
Congressional Record and the
records of the house in matters
of this kind.
The tin plate orator also stated
that Mr.. Joseph said that 100000
900 pounds of shoddy were useC
annually in this country. Wha
Mr.. Joseph did say was that ther,
were 62,0O0,0O0 or 63,000,00l
pounds of shoddy manufactured il
this country. We are inclined {,
be charitable toward the tin plat
orator of New Mexico, even if h
is an imported gentleman and say
''airly," but 237, 100000 Is no
? quite so close to the truth as til
plate orators usually get and b
ought to come down a few hun
dred just to make it appear NOR
, plausible. Some people Nigh
! think he is straining the truth
' point or two.
The Major sawed the air mos
, magnifcently with his shapel
5 hands while he spun fairy tale
:, in a voice varying from a series c
t gurgling gutte1als to the shri
! clarion notes of a bantam cocl
! He said Joseph had told awft

The latest argument in favor Of
the election Of Catron to congress
is that republicans want to get
him out of the way Of the legisla-

other arguments advanced in fa-

very reasonable price indeed. The
worst Of it is that the taxpayers Of
the Territory have paid for the
brick and Catron has the benefit.
There is nothing like having an
accommodating public pay for the
material in ones building.

Monster Prehistoric Tides.

At present the moon is 100000 miles
away from our globe; but there was a
time when it was only one-sixth part of
that distance away, or, say about 40. 600
miles away. That time must of neces-
tity have correspondent to some great
terrestrial geological epoch; probably it
was at the time when the cocoon lived.
The object of this mote" however, is
not to speculate on the remoteness of the
time, but on the powerful effects our
''silver sister world" must have had on
this earth, its waters and its atmosphere.
At the present time the average height
of the tides the world over is only about
three feet; in the far away time alluded
to (when the moon wns only 40, 600
miles away they were ZIG times rs high
as ut present, or Gas feet in height. Such
tide as that would wash St. Louis off
the face of the earth, throw a flood of sea
water sixty-one feet high on the Chicago
waterworks tower and drown out almost
every place of importance in the
United States. Three-quarter tide
would leave but a few of the tallcst chin
neys and spires In st. Louis above water
aud full tide would run well up into
the pineries of Canada. But this would
only last for few hours at a time; in
less than five hours the whole of this vast
flood would have retreated. Not only
would it leave Missouri and all of the re-
mainder of tho United States high and
dry. but would probably drain the Gulf
of Mexico and leave gravel and ahell
paved path from the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi to Cuba and Jamaica. a few
''dry" hours would pass and then the
whole land would again lie inundated,
only to soon be abandoned.
These mighty tides are the gifts which
modern astronomers have made to the
working machinery Of the modern geolo-
gist. Who can doubt that they consti-
tuted terrific power while aiding in tbs

Jack HolsaK and the Tiger.

"Perhaps the most remarkable man,
physically, the country ever produced
was Jack Holsak, a flatboatman well
known on the Ohio thirty-fve or forty
years ago." said Thomas G. Jamison, who
was discussing Americas new champion
slugger. "Jack stood 6 feet inches
without shoes, and weighed $50 pounds.
He was muscled like Hercules, and
used to boast that he was the strongest
animal of his weight in the Ohio Valley.
He was simple-heartcd, good-natured
fellow, who would not hurt fly. The
stories told of his feats of physical
strength rescmbled the miraculous per-
formances of Samson. Like the story
of the three black crows, they probably
gained something by repetition, but it is
pretty hard to say what is impossible to

at is said that he once visited me-
nagerie in Cincinnati where man-eat-
ing tiger was on exhibition, and after
listening to the descriptions of its
strength and ferocity given by the animal
lecturer, offered to enter the cage stark
naked and whip the tiger out of its
boots for a gallon jug Of
whiskey.' AS the proposition was
made at the top of his stentor-
like lungs before tent full of people,
the circus manager could not we'll de-
cline. 1t was arranged that the gladia-
tor act should take place after the night
performance, the women and children
being dismissed. Jack, half drunk and
as naked as Greek god, bounced into
the cage and grabbed the royal beast of
Bengal by the back of the neck and
slapped the side of the head 1t emitted
an ugly growl, and Jack slammed it up
against the side of the cage with vio-
lence that bent the heavy iron bars. In
stead of proceeding to make a meal of
the intruder, the man-eater covered
down in corner of its cage. Jack
grabbed it by the tail, dragged it around
the cage, and then, to the horror of the
spectators, threw open the door, pulled
it out into the circus ring and rolled it
in the sawdust. Now, tiger that has
been reared in a cage and fed on cold
potatoes and stale meat is a very differ
ent brute from one reared in an Asiatic
Jungle; still, l hardly think that any of
the distinguished pugilists now posing
before the public would care TO tackle
even circus tiger."-[St. Louis Globe.

The Maritime Register publishes
statement recently made by Robert
Thompson. president of the Northeast
Coast Engineers and Shipbuilders' Asso-
citation (English), which says that the
average life OF an Amcrican-built ship is
eighteen years. The life of an Italian
built vessel is placed at twenty seven
years. This comparison, the journal
says, will startle many shipping people,
and some may dispute its correctness. 1t
is shown that the conditions upon which
the comparison between the two was
made have greatly changed and the table
mas little value now.
In the new merchant marine which is
being built up in this country steel and
iron largely take the place Of wood, and
as Americans rank high as expert ship
builders, il is quite likely that the new
vessels will be found to be equal in all
respects to those built in foreign yards.
The average life of the ships Of other
nations is given in the table. Those of
France are placed at twenty years. the
Dutch twenty-five, German TWENTY-FIVE.
and British twenty-six.

How Hindoos Battle.

An interesting sight at Benares, the
sacred city of the Hindoos, is the bath
ing CHATS. For miles along the left bank
of the river are from fifty to hundred
steps or terraces that lead from the Hin
doc palaces and temples down into the
water. Here every morning at sunrise,
summer and winter, are thousands upon
thousands of bathers and worshipers.
They reach the waters edge facing the
rising sun, disrobe, pray, battle, go
through many strange, cabalistic contor-
tons and give many curious signs in
worshiping their great gods. All is
done with the utmost decorum, modesty
and sincerity. Here they wash their
clothing, oil their hair and their bodies
with cocoanut or faxseed or palm oil,
put on dry clothing and go away
with pot of the sacred water on their
heads as happy and contented as possible.
AS we ride by boat in the early morning
up and down the miles of bathing CHATS
we wonder whence came this curious
custom. But when we remember that
the Egyptians and Assyrians did the
same thing over 3, 900 years ago; that the
old Persians and Peruvians and even the
ancient Mexicans did the same, that the
Mohammedans do the same, that the
Jews immersed in the sacred Jordan, and
that our Christian believers use water
either by immersion or sprinkling with
the hottest rites, we can but wonder If
the world adopted its religious ceremoni-
ais with water from one of the Oldest
people on Garth, the good people of Ben
ares San Francisco Chronicle.
