Mr.. Dandridge's course in the last Legisla-

We are informed that Mr.. Robert Earle
Chairman for several years past of tie
County Democratic Executive Committee
has yielded to the solicitation OF many
Democrats TO become n candidate for the
State Senatorial nomination. Mr.. Earle Is
a practical farmer, Il cultured gentleman,
dyed in-the-wOol DemOcrat--devO;ed to the
interests of the people, courageous in his
convictions, energetic and enthusiastic IN
enterprises for the advancement of the prln-
ciples Of his party, true as steel to the needs
of the people he would represent if elected,
straight forward and opposed to side-track-
ing. And without desire or purpose to
discount anybody whose name has been or
maybe mentioned for Senatorial honors, we
have no hesitation in commencing him to
the Democrats of the District. Having
said this much upon the bare announcement
to Us that Mr.. Earle's name is before the
Democracy for consideration, we need hard
" say that we expect to support with what
ability we may possess aud with all the
earnestness we feel assured is in our make
up. the nominee Of the Convention.
Since peuning the above we have clipped
from the Spirit the following contribution
"a well.merited compliment to our tai
ented townsman:
"Thc State Democratic Convention hav-
ing been fixed for the 9th of July next, at
Parkersburg, the opening OF the Democratic
campaign in the State is at hand and the
signal has been given 10 candidates and the
Democratic party generally TO prepare ior
one of the most important campaigns In the
history of the State. In connection with
the Office of State Senator from the Ihlr-
tsenth Senatorial district, there is no man
more available as a candidate for that ONCE
than Hon. b. d. Gibson. In the last Leg
islature he was strong friend of the farm
ers and laboring men. He has always been
grateful for the support of the county, has
Stood by its interests. and the interests OF
agriculture and labor in all their cOnnec
tions. His faithfulneSs to his constituents
has never been questioned and his public
acts will bear the closest scrutiny. Al
though there has been no public announce
ment by Mr.. Gibson on the subject of his
candidacy for the State Senate, yet many
expressions have been heard from voters al
over the county approving Mr., Gibson:
candidacy for that Office, and his fitness anC
qualifications for the same. And now thai
he is in the race, he is a most available can
didate and will be grateful for the support
of the voters. His promotion to the State
Senate will be worked for by earnest voters

Mistake in the Original

Associated Press Dispatches.


BENSON. Ariz., Feb. 90 Considerable
comment has been caused by the state
ment of prominent Mexican official of
the state of Sonora, Mexico, en- route
from Hermosillo to the City of Mexico,
that re-survey Of the international
boundary would throw sixty miles Of
American soil into Mexican jurisdiction.
This change would include the large
towns of Tucson, Yuma, Tombstone,
Nogales, Bisbee, Wilcox, Benson, Gila
Bend and many smaller ones; also San
Diego, CAL, and as far north as San Juan
Capistrano. An immense amount of
valuable mining property would also
come under the tnew deal; also the en-
tire line of the Southern Pacific railroad
in Arizona. While the statement is not
credited as being correct, it is generally
understood that survey now about to
commence will show some looseness, at
least, in the original lines. Captain
Finlay, U. S. A., is at Fort Bliss, Texas,
with two companies of soldiers and a
corps of $50 men, preparing for survey
which will occupy the better part of this
year.

Native Fire-water Causes Apaches to

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, Feb. 20.-A
drunken row which occurred among the
Mescalero Apaches on their reservation,
100 miles southeast of this place, result
ed in the killing outright of four Indians
and the serious wounding of ten or
twelve others.
They did not attempt to leave their
reservation, or to modest the white set
tlement in the vicinity, but fought like
fiends among themselves, till the agency
police, assisted by troops from Fort
Stanton, succeeded in restoring peace.
The law against selling liquor to Indians
is strictly enforced, but they manufac-
ture a liquor for themselves called mes
cal from the mescal plant, species of
Yucca, which grows very abundantly in
that part, and from which the tribe
takes its name.
The beverage is more villainous than
the worst whisky, and makes those who
drink it full of fight. The agent uses
every precaution to prevent them from
making it, but the reservation is SO
large and there are SO many good hiding
places that it is almost impossible to en-
tirely suppress its manufacture.

whisky trust is not backing any one to
buy breweries in Chicago. The officers
of the trust have all the work and busi-
ness they can manage to run the distil-
lery' interests legitimately, and won't
have any new enterprises. The party
who makes any such assertion presume
to be the same that built the Kalonset
distillery and sold out to the trust, as
they are the only persons who have en-
tered into any new brewery scheme
lately; that business not being very en-
couraging, except to sell out to syndi-

Feeling of Uneasiness Over
Affairs in the House.
Matters Have Simply Been
Drifting Along.
A Disposition Among Members Now
to Decide on a Programme.
The Priority OF silver or Tarif Caused
Temporary Embarrassment-sil
Mem Determined Not to Be
Frozen Out.
Assoclated Press Dispatches.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-There is feel
ing of uneasiness on the part of Demo-
cratic members of the house over the
condition of business in the house, and
. disposition to get together and agree
upon programme OF business. At
present matters are simply drifting
along, and it is desired to bring order
out of the confusion which prevails.
The silver question is the most dis
couraging element. The tariff bills and
regular annual appropriation bills
will soon demand great deal OF atten-
tion, and it is agreed that there must
shortly come time when programme
of business for some months to come
must be settled upon if anything is to
be accomplished. The absence Of Mr..
Catchings has delayed the meeting of
the rules committee for some days past,
and the i'll health of Speaker Crispsmade
It necessary that he should seek respite
from public affairs, while the house is
temporarily in recess on account of the
visit of number of members to Chi
cago. 1t is probable that the whole
Democratic policy will be considered at
a caucus and programme OF action out
lined as far as possible.
The silver men all say they have no
intention to antagonize tariff and other
measures, and that they are as good
tariff reformers as any other members
of the house. They say, however, that
they will not consent that tariff and
other measures shall be used to prevent
consideration of the silver bill, and if,
as they do not sbeiieve to be the case,
they should ascertain that this is the
policy of the promoters of the tariff
bill, they will insist in season and out OF
season on taking up the silver question.
Chairman Bland of the coinage COM
mittee voiced the sentiments of his as
Eociates today. He said: "Before we
take up the tariff bills and appropria-
tion bills there must be an agreement
on Just what we are going to do; there
must be an understanding from the be-
ginning, or else silver will be here as
long as tariff and appropriations, and
talked of as much as anything else be-
fore the house. am in favor of tariff
reform and the considering of tariff
bills; but if their programme is to keep
tariff here always and not to do anything

consider them all together. There is no
