CLEVELAND MEETING.

NEW York, July 2O.-Fifteer
thousand people assembled in Madi
son Square garden tonight to witness
the formal notification of Messrs
Cleveland and Stevenson of theiI
nomination to be the Democratic
candidates for president and vice
president. When silence was re.
stored, Chairman Wilson, of the mott
fication committee, delivered his ad.
dress.
Mr.. Wilson, after formally deliver
ing the notification to Mr.. Cleveland
of his nomination for the presidency,
took occasion in his address to refer
to the acts of the Republican party.
He said that it was a dangerous
thing for a political party to remain
in existence after the work which
called it into being had been accom-
plished. In such a case it would in.
evitably pass, as the Republican par
ty has already done, into the service
of the great special interests which
everywhere strive to secure political
power for their own advantage.
Mr.. Cleveland, with much emotion,
replied, accepting the nomination.
During his speech, while talking on
the tariff question, he said:
sour workingmen are still told the
tale oft repeated, in spite of its dem.
onstrated falsity, that the existing
protective tariff is boon to them,
and that under its benificent opera
ton their wages must be increased,
whilst scenes are enacted in the very
abiding place of high protection that
mock the hopes of toll and attest the
tender mercy the workincman re-
ceives from those made selfish and
sordid by unjust governmental favor
itism. We oppose earnestly and
stubbornly the theory upon which
our opponents seek to justify and
uphold existing laws. We do not
base our argument on questions of
constitutional permission or legisla-
tive power. We denounce this theory
upon the highest possible grounds,
when we contend that IN present
conditions its operation is unjust and
that laws enacted in accordance with
it are inequitable and unfair"
Immediately after Mr.. Cleveland
had concluded HIS reply, Hon.
Stephen V. White advanced, and
facing General Adlai E. Stevenson,
delivered his address of notification,
which was suitably responded to by
Mr.. Stevenson.

AT a meeting of members of the
Peoples party held at Las Vegas
Monday night, at which there was a
large attendance, resolutions strongly
oondeming Felix Martinez were in
troduced and unanimously adopted.
This action was the result of the
efforts which Martinez has been using
lately to effect combination be-
tween the Peoples party and the
knights of Mutual Protection, by

"Let the governor issue an edict
that all men who commit murder in
New Mexico, whether in anger or for
theft, shall be exempt from arrest
and shall be pardoned as soon as the
deed is done" e."-Optic, last night.
The above should be amended so
as to include all attempts at choking
and murder, so as to cover the entire
ground intended by the Optic.

Reciprocity is the order of the day
and one good turn deserves another.
AS the Optic has very kindly put the
rate of advertising for the city at
one-twentieth of the legal rate, we
would suggest that it would be a
very kind act for the council to put
the price of plain drunk at one
twentieth of the legal rate, or so
cents. Besides, our neighbor is more
Democratic than Republican and the
former party believes in a low tariff,
and this would make very low one.

a WOOD RATS NEST.
The Home OF q Colony of Alaskan Rodents
Transported East.

The Home Of a Colony of Alaskan Rodents
Transported East.
For a queer and unusual article Of
freight a rats nest can hardly be ex-
celed, especially the nest of wood rat
that was built by those strange little
animal architects in far-off Alaska, and
which was shipped in large freight
car at the loading sheds at Fourth and
Townsend streets yesterday for the
Smithsonian institute at Washington.
Only one available car for the purpose
could be found by Mr.. Anthony, SO
large and cumbersome was the nest, it
being approximately cone shaped, seven
feet in height and with an irregular.
broad base, ten feet wide at one end
and about six feet at the other. With
its crate of light framework it weighed
nine hundred and eighty pounds, and
a big New York Central furniture car
with wide doors and high roof solved
the problem that Mr.. Anthony had
been vexed with for couple of days as
to how he was going to send it east.
OF course, neither the wood rat nor
his nest is O. very uncommon sight, but
the one in question is, however. on ac,
count of his height and size, and, like
many other nests of these rats, is most
interesting sight to many who have
never seen one of them, and a study to
everybody for the intelligence and de
sign displayed in its construction.
The nest at the first glance is appar
emily a huge pile OF small branches
twigs, leaves and grasses imbedded IL
clay and hard, dry Jumps in chunks OF
mud. The odor of dry grasses and
dull, whitish mud or clay predominant
ed, and on close inspection it could bt
seen that the little Alaskan rodents
had evidently laid every twig and piece
of wood and every bunch of grasses
and leaves with nicely and according
well-defined plan that would cause
the winds and rains and the storms to
beat against it without vail. AS is
their practice, it has been built ur
against number of small trees stand
ing close together in dense under
brush, and its sides were solid, compact
and waterproof.
At the narrow end of its base or
foundation was small opening or
door into this tiny castle, where proba-
bly, couple of hundred rats were wont
to make their home, 1t was, no doubt,
big enough for that purpose, because
the inside of the nest was filed with a
large number of pouches or little
rooms, each one leading from an open
ing and upon rude climbing and
winding stairway clear up to the apex
of the nest. The pouches are all lined
with soft grasses and leaves, and some
of them had lot of fur or hair in
them, for these little animals often
pull out their own fur to make warm
beds for their young. They have been
known to pull their fur from their
bodies by the mouthful in order to fit
up the pouches as snugly as possible
for their young. and this had evidently
been done by some of the rats that had
occupied the nest in question, judging
by the amount of fur in it.-San Fran
cisco Examiner.

WOODEN STONES.
Peculiar Formations Take the Place of
Trees in Falkland.

Peculiar Formations Take the Place of
Trees in Falkland.
The Falklandssproduce no trees, but
they do produce wood in very remark
able shape You will see, scattered
here and there. singular blocks of what
look like weather-beaten, messy, gray
stones of various sizes. But if you at
tempt to roll over one of these rounded
powders you will find yourself unable
to accomplish it. In fact, the stone is
tied down to the ground, tied down by
the roots, or in other words it is not a
stone, but block of living wood. If
you examine it at the right time you
may be able to find upon it, half hidden
among the lichen and mosses, few of
its obscure leaves and flowers. If you
try to cut it with an ak you will find it
extremely hard to do so. 1t is entirely
unwedgeable, being made up of count
less branches, which grow so closely
together that they become consolidated
into one mass.
On 4 sunny day-if you are lucky
enough to see sunny day in Falkland
you may perhaps find on the warm
side of the "balsam log" as the living
stone is called, few drops of fra
grant gum, highly priced by the shep-
herds for its supposed medicinal quail
ties. This wonderful plant is the Bo-
lax glebaria of botanists, and belongs
to the same family as do the parsnip
and carrot-Golden Days.

SUNSET AFTER A woRkDAY.

The skies are dark the rain drops fast
The dreary ranks OF toll file past,
The worfroom's hum sounds tired and slow,
The hand moves hstless TO and fro;
Even our needles seem imbued
With rustily rebellious mood,
And dull revolt against our will
Like teasing sprites, TO work us III,
Envy and discomfort steal in,
Whispering 10 us through the din.
None but ourselves, say they, must climb
Rough paths, while others have free time
For all hfe's joys. its beauties rare,
Its music soft, its flowers fair,
Knowing no tasks tor whose hard sake
Tired heads must throb and curved spines ache
We hail the whistles blatant scream
That wakes us from this bitter dream,
Break OF the thread and fold away
Our work, TO wait another day.
PlOd homeward through the darlxening street.
With chilly hands and mud-soiled feet.
The clouds seem frowning heaviest,
When, 10! they open in the west;
A faint pink touches smoke and mist;
One spire, its crowning cross atwist
With golden rays, points upward to
yapor- edged, rare glimpse of blue,
And through narrow brick-framed space
Smiles suddenly the suns dear face.
Life looks so hveable again;
Where are the long drawn hours OF rain?
Courage and confidence draw near,
Whispering 10 us, calm and clear
None but ourselves, say they, may know
The fullness Of this sunset glow,
For we alone, who drudged all uay
Twtxt streets OF mud and skies Of gray,
Can read the symbol fair Alright:
'At eveningtime it shall be light
Back 10 the heart comes, Heaven-sent,
That guest IL cannot tspare-Content.

THE FAMOUS RURALES.
Railroads of Mexico Protected by tn
Flower of the Army

Flower of the Army.
An American travelling in Mexico can
not fail to be impressed by the splen-
didly mounted and equipped bands Of
cavalry guards that dash up to the
railroad depots and stations whenevet
mail train arrives. These are the IA
nous Rurales. the flower of the Mex.
lean army, to whom Gen. Porfrio Diaz,
the president, has trusted the railroads
and border customs as special favor.
'FAnd right proud and jealous are they
of the trust. Their vocation is to guard
the customs of the border and to
protect the railways and trains from
robbers and wrecl1ers; and SO well have
they done their duty that no money
could tempt the most foolhardy bandit
to interfere with the railroads.
They are class of men eminently
adapted to their calling, combining
something of the cowboy of the plains,
something of the trooper Injured to
hardships, and good deal of the dash
and splendor of ornamental soldiers.
They ride like demons on fiery horses.
fight like tigers, and coolly smoke Gig
aretts in the face of death. All that is
their business, and they fairly revel in
it.
When they had train-robbers to hunt.
il is asserted on authority from tho
City of Mexico, they never turned and
fled. Nor did they ever let the robbers
slip through their fingers
A band of three or more is ever ready
when the train stops. Should the con-
ductor or engineer report any interfer'
ence with the trair, these soldiers are
away at once in quest of the offenders,
Quite often they ride on trains as
guard, SO that travelling is done in safe
ty south of the Rio Grande.
Mexico is exceedingly strict In deal
ing with bandits who meddle with the
railroads The penalty has been told
But so strict is this law it seems harsh,
or, in fact, arbitrary. Even the most
insignificant act that would injure a
railway-bed assures the same punish
ment. To remove a single spike, &c
chip off splinter from tie, is punisha-

as much as a desperate attempt at

seem, it is still matter for engineers,
not laymen, to determine whether such
acts would not derail a fast-running
