During his recent visit East Mr.. Frank
Crumb spent some time at Chicago,
Harvard, Ills, Omaha and other points
While calling on the EAGLE MIR. Crumb
stated among other matters, that there
was more talk bacz east about White
Oaks and railroads to this point than
any point in the Wert. Not only do
many think that our contemplated Den
ver-El Paso line will DO built this year,
as money is much easier East, but among
others Mr.. Ed. E. Aver, one Of the larg.
est contractors in his line in the United
States, told MIR. Crumb that he believed
the Rock Island would build into the
Territory through White Oaks soon and
be rapidly followed by the Santa Fe.
The more the merrier. especially wher
they come from different points.

White Oaks Post Office. The Finest In
New Mexico.


Having seen the principal Offices in
this territory the above heading goes
without qualification. The new fixtures
are most elegant in finish, being Of white
ash, vanished, showing the grain of the
wood beautifully. The bronze-faced lock
boxes are Of copper alloy and make fine
contrast with the wood work and glass.
The general delivery boxes are screened
with large, engraved, ornamented plates
OF glass. The windows are furnished
both with wooden and glass screens cor
responding with the remainder Of the
work. The only addition which might
desirably be made would be more Of the
larger lock boxes, which the EAsLB
learns will be done soon.
The room in which the Office is now
located is the largest. finest, lightest and
also most appropriate in arrangement, by
far, of any in the territory. 1t is situated
in the newly finished Watson block
which has iron front, iron roof and meta
ceiling and the whole building inside
and out is tastefully painted. The room
! is 25 K S5 feet and the office and lobby
occupies more than one-third of the room
The store fixtures, including counters
and shelving are finished in cherry, blacb
walnut and ebony.
VIM. Watson deserves great credit foI
the enterprise and liberality displayed
in remodeling this block, Messrs
Best, Schell & Co, for the work on th
building and the White Oaks Buildin!

ARIZONA DRUNKARDS.

The Sherman house has baby burro,
which has become confirmed beer
drinker. He stretches his neck and
bugs his eyes out with eagernees at the
very smell Of beer. So insatiable is his
appetite for stimulants that he chews up
remnants of lemons which have been
used in mixed drinks and thrown into
the street. When slightly stimulated
he cuts up all sorts of antics. When
real boo2y, he makes his bed in the
road and wagons have TO drive around
him. His nose has become elongated
and very red.
At Wm. Dulin's Montezuma there are
several rats which have become SO much
addicted to the use of beer that they
can be seen any night gamboling under
the faucet of the beer keg, licking up the
drippings from the floor. In the early
morning the night barkeeper states that
these rats after having drank beer and
caroused around half the night, become
quite drunk and cut the queerest antics,
They thrust their noses into the pool OF
beer and sip little at time, while their
bead like black eyes sparkle with delight
They will sit on their launches and
strike themselves first on one side Of the
face and then on the other with their
paws, and sometimes walk straight
standing on their hind legs with their
mouths open, to catch the fresh beer as
it drips from the faucet.
Martin Maier has a dog which almost
lives on beer. He has drank so much II
has little effect on him beyond making
him more rotund as he grows older. H,
is now nearly as broad as he is long, ant
is one of the best natured of drinkers
He is always neat and clean, and wher
too full to wag his tail never growls OIL

There are some of that kind Of animals
around here. They call themselves men
and bray louder and are much more
annoying than burro when they are
drunk. Sometimes some OF them get
far enough gone to be like the rats and
thrust themselves, noses and all, into
stuff they would be ashamed to touch
whom sober. At other times they
degrade themselves until lower than the
beast. This is not the only town in
which you find them. They are all over

The Free Silver Democrats.


Eighty-two OF the 236 Democrats in the
National House of Representatives voted
against free silver coinage during the
recent silver struggle. They were all
proclaimed at once as hard money Demo
Gratis. They are nothing of the sort
Some of them may pin their faith on a
gold basis. Some of them may believe in
the old fashioned Democratic doctrine
which emblazoned on its banners lizard
Money. Free Trade and Home Rule" But
it is quite certain that by far the larger
proportion of these eighty-two members
who took positions against free silver
coinage were actuated by motives OF
policy.
They were chiefly from the Eastern and
Middle States, and were influenced by
the fear that if the Democratic House
should commit itself to free silver coinage
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Massachusetts,, which they consider
doubtful, would Immediately become
strongly Republican States. There is nc
question but that twenty-five or thirty, il
not fully one-half of the eighty-two
Democrats who voted against the Bland
bill, are in favor of free coinage. The
obvious conclusion from this analysis OF
the Democratic opposition to the Bland
bill is that the Democracy contains vast
majority of free silver coinage advocates,
aud as party is in favor of that policy
There is no hope for sound finance from
the Democratic partly. \. Press.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The Senate

The debate has been extended and inter

mittee also participated ia it. as did in

who 10 IN the habit OF speaking on public
questions. Throughout the entire de bate
Senators insisted that the rights aud
dignity of this government should be
maintained at sll hazards, but in view OF
the unhappy consequences sure to result
from hostilties between two such nations
as the United States and Great Britain, an
earnest disposition was manifested on all
hands TO leave untried no honorable
means to avert collision. VIZ. Sherman
in the course of his remarks said we were
trembling on the very verge Of war, and
one hasty or lnjudicious step might bring
il on. The ratification of the treaty will
show England the amicabls disposition OF

Blankets.

We used to hear a great deal of demo-
gogical rant from free trade Democratic
speakers about the tax which the Repub-
lican party had put on "the poor mans
blankets" But of late this argument is
not heard from any of these gentlemen
and the reason why Is very plain. 1t is
because the tariff on blankets. instead of
proving to be a tax, has been the means
of reducing the price of blankets to the
poor man as well as to the rich. In 1858,
under free trade, common blankets cost
$3.50 pair. In 1889, under the working
of protective tariff, the same grade of
blankets cost S4.25, while in 1892 the
price has been still further reduced and
they can be bought for 1915. This is
rather "wet blanket" cast over exuber-
ant Democratic gush and nonsense

Reference was recently made in the

the British minister at Washington as to
whether there is any provision for send
ing back to England the two insane

Hon. J. G. Blaine. secretary of state. from
whose department be received reply on
Yesterday, signed by William F Wharton,
acting secretary. The letter stated that
inquiries similar to that of Sheriff Watts
have frequently been made; but that as
the United States government has no
funds at its disposal for bringing back TO
this country an American citizen who has
become public charge abroad, and has
thus been compelled to decline such re-
quests from foreign governments, it could
not ask foreign government to assume
this expense in the case of one of it's
citizens who has become public charge
in the United States.
The two paupers must therefore remain
here as public cbarges.-StaantoH DAILY

a MOthar'S Crime.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, March 25.-
Marion 5, Moore, a beautiful woman, 30
years of age, is under arrest for enc of the
most horrible crimes on record. Mrs.
Moore was married when she was l6. Her
eldest child was handsome girl of Is.
Two weeks ago the child was found muir
dered in the house, her throat cut from
ear to ear. Evidence has been secured
showing the mother was madly infatuated
with James Semple,a hired man in her
husbands employ. The man apparently
paid no attention to her advances. but
had repeatedly asked Moore to be allowed
to marry he daughter, Bette, and paid
her asslduOus attention.
All the evidence tends to show that Mrs.
Moore in her furious jealousy took the
opportunity to XII her child in the most
horrible manner possible.

An Amusing War Incident.

The following amusing incident, is said
to have occurred in Warrenton during the
late war;
On one occasion, during the late war,
the Federal forces came into Warrenton
very unexpectedly. Many of the residents
of the surrounding county, who happened
to be in town at the time, were cut off
from their homes by the sudden incursion.
The next day, however, it was announced
that these enforced sOjonrners as well as
citizens of the town, who might have
urgent business outside, would be allowed
to pass through the pickets upon obtain
ing passes from the provost marshal. His
office was, of course, soon besieged.
Now it happened that many OF the peo-
pie about there have most "beastly"
names. Ard as Mr.. Fox, Mr.. Wolf and
Mr.. Haze announced their names to the
provost, that official became interested.
When Bear and a Campbell followed
be evidently suspected a practical joke !;
and his flushes deepened aud his eyes
began to flash as the procession continued
with Bulls and COOns and Steers. But
finally, when a mild little Jew announced,
10 piping voice, that he was called Lion
and filters we're more than audible among
the bystanders, the irste, but still digni-
fed officer, drew himself up to his full
height and SAID:
