$4,000 a Pound for Bacon.


Napoleon B. Lazard Of San francisco. min
ing expert, and owner Of the big Cincinnati
mine at Tombstone, Ariz. has poor opinion OF
Mexico and the Mexicans. says the New York
Tribune. Mr.. Lazsrd has been at the Hoffman
house recently, and In speaking Of his expert
ences In Mexico he said: II have no use for
Mexico, because the government made me pay
Sle.O0O pound for bacon on one occasion.
ABOUT thirteen years ago I bought strip OF
land near Sonora, Mexico, forty miles from the
mouth OF the San Pedro river, and thirty miles
from Conanora. The land was good mining

part or this l purchased mining implements.

alone at tie mine drilled tunnel 600 feet long
through hard rock, and finally struck what l
was looking for-an arsenica ledge OF silver. l
had worked Christmas, Sundays, New ears,
thanksgiving and every other day, and some
times lost track of dates. IL was a happy
day for me when l reached the silver ledge, for
the mine, with all the machinery ! had

couldn't think Of anything better to celebrate
WITH than bacon, determined to have some.
mere Is no such thing as Mexican bacon, you
know. Hogs there have to lean against tree
when they want to grunt hog in Mexico is
called razor back He doesn't grow fat down
there because he doesn't get anything TO eat.
Inc duty in Mexico on pork Is 20 per cent and
as could get bacon across the border at Orcho

TO ride over there and get some. That is where
l made great mistake, for when was return

hscated by the government.

Gates, on condition that he put mill into the

The Walker crash, which caught Gov.
Mckinley and squeezed all his fortune out
of him, according to current newspaper re-
ports, continues to present new phases. 1t
is now reported that the governors labili-
ties, at first reported 10 be $4,000, will
probably amount to 100000 II is also said
that he was not only an indorser on Walk
er's notes, but was the joint maker of many
of those that were used in coal mine
venture near Connsllsville, Pa. Other no ties,
so the reports go on to say, were made by
Gov. Mckinley and Endorsed by Walker. 1t
is further alleged that Walker and McKin-
ley were partners in the coal deal, which
failed However, all of that may be, it
would have been better for Gov. Nc Kinley
TO accept the offer of Mr.. Kohlsaat and other
Of bis friends to lend him money to pay his
debts than for him to accept 81 contribu-
ton charity. There is nothing discreditable
In accepting loan honorably offered, while
there is much 60 be said against a man in
the prime of life accepting aims.

The Idle Blacks.

The articles Of the MORNING NEWS, call
ing attention to the large number Of idle
blacks In the city, and suggesting the ne
cessity for some action on the part Of the
authorities TO compel them to seek employ
ment seems to have attracted considerable
attention. These idle blacks either live
upon those who do work OF get the means Of
living in unlawful ways. The numerous
complaints against thieves justify the con-
clusion that some Of them ought to be in
the chain-gang.
The vagrant law is broad enough to en-
able the authorities to arrest the class of
idlers to which attention is called. These
idlers have no occupation and no visible
means Of support. Many of them have no
homes. They eat and sleep wherever they
can beg a meal or secure lodging place.
Why shouldn't the law against them be en-
forcedg
In western cities and the cities on the
Pacific slope, idlers are shown scant cour-
tesy by the authorities II they are found
on the streets and are unable to give a salts
factory account Of themselves they are noti-
fed to find employment, and il they fail ia
do so they are dealt with as the law pro.
vides.
A similar vigorous policy should be
adopted in this city. If 1t we're there would
be a great deal less stealing and the con
munity would be relieved of a heavy bur.
| den.

The attitude Of the New York Sun toward
Mr.. Hoke Smith, Of this state, from the
time he was first mentioned as a cabinet
possibility up to the present, has been de-
cidedly unfriendly, to say the least And
without apparent reason, for Mr.. Smith
has always been consistent democrat, and
his successes in life have marked
him man of ability. However, what
purports to be the 'inside to the storvn
Of the SUMS persistent and piquant ridcule
Of MIR. Smith Is given by the Baltimore
American. Mr.. Dana's ill-will, according
to the story. 'is not due to the generally
accepted belief that Mr.. Smith is the per-
sonal representative In the cabinet of Mr..
Henry Willard, but to an altogether differ
ent circumstance. When Mr.. Dana was in
Paris last December, some of his admirers
doomed him for the vacant senatorship of
New York. The New York Herald was
especially active in this work. Everybody
understood that it was a joke, and Mr.. Dana
himself, at the time, was interviewed in
Paris, and, through the Figaro of that city,
stated that Mr.. Frederick Coudert was. in
his opinion, an excellent man for the place,
While everybody in New York at all ac-
quainted with the feeling between Dir.
Dana and Mr.. Cleveland, knew that the
former would not accept the senatorship,
the Atlanta Journal. owned mostly by
Hoke Smith, took up the subject seri-
ously as If Mr.. Dana were hot in pursuit of
the Office. Personal attacks on the New
York editor followed, and when Mr. Dana
arrived home the paragraphs embodying
these attacks were shown to him. He de-
termined to pay off these old scores, and the
friends of the Georgian declare that the
present ridicule of Mr.. Hoke Smith has
grown from a feeling OF resentment in the
breast of the editor who knows how to hate
and how to fight"

That must have been a pathetic picture
in the Senate when Senator Colquitt was
wheeled into the chamber in an invalid's
chair and lifted into his seat A report
says; HE looked wan and helpless. al
though his eyes were bright and his manner
cheerful His whole right side is paralyzed,
and bis right hand lay useless in his lap.
Senators on both side of the chamber gave
him an exceedingly cordial greeting. Mr..
Morton left the chair to pay bis respects,
and the attention touched Mr.. Colquitt per
oeptably. Mr.. Colquitt did not remain
long in the chamber, and by the advice Of
his physician will not exert himself while
here" He is in Washington In response to
the demands Of duty to his party. His vote
will be needed in the reorganization of the
Senate, and, if nothing happens, he
will be there to cast it.

A Sadful Song.
From the Detroit Free Press.

D, am womans watch, ami,
But would that were not,
For If you knew you would not deny
That mine is a sorry lot.
She'll let me rest for a great long while,
Then all of a sudden seek
To twist me up so tight that I'll
Keep going for week.
She leaves me open when she will,
Till I'm sick of dirt and things.
OF pins and hair have got my fill
And of buttons hooks and strings,
There's four-leaf clover in me, too,
And piece of photograph;
I'm stuffed completely through and through
With toothpicks, cloves and chaif.
MY hands are twisted to and fro,
I'm thumped and Jared, alackl
And then, il fail to straightway go,
I'm pounded front and back
With her hat pin nay wheels she'll pry,
Till she breaks them every one,
And then she'll say: II don't see why
This blamed old thing won't rum"

fTom the Ci1cinndn Tribune (Ind.l.

congressional library building 5000 200 worth Of
foreign marble has been contracted for simply

Representative Scott. Of Illinois, wishes
this government to 60 into the exploration
business on a large scale. He probably
thinks that If Columbus did so well with so

priation Of $780, G0 each year and with it
keep part of the navy end part OF the

Farmers and "Futures. I"


Sweep away the produce exchanges and cot
ton exchanges ana the system of dealing in
futures, and the farmers and planters would
soon be at the mercy of great combination buy
ers, who would take their crops at the lowest
prices at the time when the producers were
forced to sell their whole seasons output, and
who would store and handle the supply at great
prices determined by the demand for consump-
ton at home and abroad. If the farmers fully
understood their own interests in this matter
they would protest loudly against such legisla-
ton as is proposed in the anti-option bill Its
advocates and supporters are not their friends
though doubtless some of Them honestly believe
that they are.

of the country to the other to otiiclate ct
great public meetings, dedicatIons Of build =

mistakes the most enthusiastic Tammany
man will admit that Mr.. Cleveland is not
absolutely infalliblel and comment on them.
his mistakes will have been forgotten and
the strong points OF his administration will
stand out in glowing colors." DR.. Depew
hes overlooked the fact that "Jim" Clark

destroy any Harrison boom that may
spring up. Garrison IS not man to forget
the mistakes made by Gen. Harrison during
his terg, aud he win take pains to keep
others from forgetting them.
