The truthful advertisement is
the one that brings business, and
most all advertising is truthful,
just o. most all men are truthful.
Occasionally one meets a man
who lies. That sort Of a man
writes lying advertisements. They
may pay temporarily, but no per-
manent success was ever built on
a foundation Of humbug. Most
of advertisers arc honest. At
least they mean to be. Often each
one Of half a dozen dealers will
insist that he has "the biggest and
best stock in the city" OF course
they can't all be right, but that is
merely a form Of words. Really,
it doesn't mean much of anything
either to the writer or reader, and
SO does no harm-except that it
wastes valuable space in the pa
per.
The advertisement that pays
best is the plain, honest, forceful
talk, written just as il the writer
was talking to the reader face to
face "a statement of facts. There
is nothing in the world so inter-
esting Is facts, especially the facts
Of business. They should be writ
ten about entertainingly. People
like to know where and how things
are made. Not a technical de-
scription. but a hint here aud
there. For instance: "These goods
we're designed and woven in
France, the cotton came from AL
ALBANIA and the silk from China.
Twice across the Atlantic, once
across Asia and Europe, and here
is the finished fabric for 75c. a
yard"
1t creates an interest that a mere
bald statement of facts never
would get. knowledge, thought
and truthfulness will generally
produce n good advertisement,
and q good advertisement in a
good paper will always bring good
results. The selection of the me-
dunn is the first and most impor-
tant point. The writing comes
after. Even a bad ad in a good
paper will bring some business.
A good ad in a poor paper is sheer
waste.

TO THE POINT.

The SOUTHWEST SENTINEL is
the paper of the people, a medium
through which its readers are in
formed; a newspaper through
which only Legitimate and reliable
news is given. Its columns are
not devoted to personal abuse of
any individual because of personal
grievance. It's influence is never
cast in the interest of any one
whose acts are under investigation
by officers of the law. 1t does not
attempt to forestall the courts
upon any question which requires
legal adjudication, nor does it at
tempt to impress the public mind
through false statements. From
its sources of information it sup
plies the news honestly and with
out prejudice or favor. While
some of the other newspapers of
Grant County are belittling the
courts of justice and poisoning
the popular mind through false
representations, this paper only
aspires to furnish actual facts and
legitimate news.
The Lordsburg Liberal and Sill
yer City Enterprise are just now
earnestly weighing the evidence
in the Davenport murder case and
viii no doubt dispose of the mat
ter Ito their satisfaction before
the November session Of the dis
trict court

GRANT county has a little gang
of republican political manipula-
tors, who would sacrifice silver
and everything else for that mat

aud who are preparing to deliver
representation of that party in
the next Territorial convention to
select delegates TO the national
convention who will vote for Nc
Kinley, Morton, Sherman OF any
other gold bug who viii recognize
their claims for political prefer
ment by appointment 1t remains
to be seen whether or not the free
republicans Of Grant county,
unquestionably a large majority
will permit the gang to deliver
the goods. Thereis going TO be a
fight in the republican
lamp and the democracy can COM
plaeently look on aud enjoy the
fun.

In response to an appeal to
Mayor Fleming and members of
the council by the citizons Of Sill
yer city, instigated by the SOUTH
WEST SENTINEL, the Lezinsky
building at the corner Of Main
street and Broadway, which was
wrecked by the food Of July Dist,
has been condemned and the same
is being torn down and the debris
cleared away. While this prompt
action on the part Of the mayor
and council is to be commended,
there are other buildings in the
city equally dangerous and un-
slightly to which we wish 10 fur
Their direct their attention.
The old Benton House, in it's
present state, presents a sickening
sight If there was the slightest
intention on the part of the own
els Of this property to repair il,
even at some indefinite time, we
would not complain. But such is
not the case. The building is
completely wrecked beyond hope
of repair, is a menace to public
safety, a reproach upon the pride
and enterprise of our citizens and
an eye-sore to all who look upon
its CHASTITY hanging walls.
The old adobe Chinese wash
house at the corner of Main and
Yankie streets, is another danger
GUS and disgusting wreck. 1t
could not be repaired; it is ruined
beyond redemption. 1t will sure
ly collapse very soon and some
unfortunate pedestrian or child
may be its victim. Why not or
der it pulled down and avoid this
possible calamity? Since the
good work of removing these
death traps has been 30 intelli-
begun why not make the
work thorough and sweeping?

had one that would 'hold out to

CAB scrap last year over the Agri-

down, investigated and reported,

nocuous desuetude. / do not
know that such is the fact but
there are these who have a suspi-

ALL that talk of nominating
Judge Henry G. Caldwell, of the
United States circuit court, as the
republican candidate for Presi-
dent in 1896, is as ridiculous as it
is impossible. Judge Caldwell is
a free coinage man and a friend
of the masses of the people. Just
stop and consider a moment how
awkwardly the G.. o.. p. would APP
pear with sucha man as their pres
idential standard bearer? How
utterly incompaitiable he would
be with the tenets of his party
mono-metallism and protective
tarif-the two great enemies of
American industry. The gold bugs
of Wall street would move heaven
and earth to defeat him both in
the convention and at the polls.
There is no use in associating the
name of Judge Caldwell with the
republican nomination for Presi-
dent so long as capital dominates
that party and political renegades
are bowling for Office.

STRANGERS attending the SEES
sions of the U. S. District court
express great surprise at the con-
dition of the city since it was so
roughly handled by the great food.
The facts are, we did suffer great
loss and il looked for a time as
though our injuries might prove
permanent, and such would have
been the case in most any other
place than Silver City. But our
business men have sufficient
pluck and enterprise to surmount
any reasonable calamity. They
possess in a very marked degree
the spirit of Banquo's ghost-they

If his bicycle is geared at 60, one

CAnR GIVES NnrIcr-

d. P. Carr, referring to an edi-
torial in the Albuquerque Citizen
William Mckinley as
the logical candidate of the repub-
lican party for president, publish
cd the following in the Las Vegas
Optic Of August 81:
The republican party of New
Mexico is committed TO bimetal-
lism and the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver, and four-hfths
of the voters of the party IN the
Territory ire opposed to the per-
petuation of the gold standard.
There is nothing IN the record
or public utterBnces of William
Mckinley to give to the friends
of silver n ray Of hope that he
would, as president, direct the use
of the standard silver dollar as
money Of redemption, or approve
of a law for It's free and unlimited
coinage, il enacted by congress.
On the contrary, there is every
reason to believe that he is as firm
an adherent to the cause of honest
money (2) and the gold standard
as John Sherman, Governor Nor
ton, of New York, John G. Carlisle
or Grover Cleveland.
just why, at this early date, he
is to be "boomed" in New Mexico
and the state made up for a Nc
Kinley delegation to the republi-
can national convention, is not
apparent upon the surface.
The writer has information that
q Mckinley bureau has been es-
tablished at Santa Fe, presided
over by a gentleman OF Milesian
extraction, who could not be elect
ed coroner of bis county, but who
expects to, and should Mckinley
be elected president, undoubtedly
would, be appointed Governor of
New Mexico; and under whose
administration, should such an
affection be forced upon us, the
Territory would rstrograde at
least twenty-five years.
For some weeks past the head
of this bureau" has been writing
letters to republicans In the sever
al counties prescribing ex-Gov-
ernor Prince and other prominent
republicans, advocates of the cause
of silver and urging that they
should not be sent as delegates to
the national convention next
year.
1t is my opinion that if you
scratch the back of a Mckinley
supporter in New Mexico, you will
disclose an enemy Of the cause of
silver, at least one who would sac
riice silver upon the altar of party
spoils.
AS before stated, four ifths of
the republicans of New Mexico
are earnestly in favor of the resto-
ration of silver as money of final
redemption and they should take
measures to tbwart the designs of
the Mckinley boomers and to
send to the national convention
next year, delegates who will vote
for a man for president, who is, at
least, not committed to the perpet-
uation of the gold STANDARD.
l believe hat there are thou
sands of republicans in New Mex
leo, who, like that staunch repub-
lican and sturdy patriot, Henry
M. Teller, of Colorado, will not
the flag of protection into
the gold standard camp, and it
were just as well for the slate
makers and candidate boomers to
take notice thereof.

 FOR HEARING OF THE WHISKY TRUST
 CONTROVERSY BY JUDGE GRosscUP.
 CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-Judge Grosscup this morning named Saturday for hearing counsel on both sides of the whisky trust controversy on the motion made on be- half of the majority stockholders for dis solution of the receiyership instituted Monday evening at Judge Grosscup's resi- dence. Judge Grosscup in announcing the date said:
 'tfFhe bill filed in this case was on behalf of stockholders. It was very voluminous, but the gist of 1t was that the Distillers and Cattle Feeding company had assets throughout the United States aud was prac- tically insolvent. It was further set forth that unless the administration of this com pany was put into the hands of receivers injury would result. The situation set forth in the bill was such that 1t was nec- essary that an order should be entered and an action taken immediately. To publish this to the world would be to bring on the attacks which the bill sought to avoid. It was necessary that the company should be brought into the shelter of a court of equity. petition has now been brought by other stock olders, who claim that the parties who made application for the re- ceivership represented but a small portion of the stock holders. They ask that under these circumstances the court hear them on an application to dissolve the receivership. 1 will therefore appoint Saturday morning as the date to hear this case, and will re- quest Messrs. Green hut and Lawrence, the two receivers, to be in court in persona

 A FORMIDABLE ENEMY
IN THE SHAPE OF wEEvEL FOUND IN
 TEXAS COTTON CROP.

IN THE SHAPE OF wEEvEL FOUND IN
 TEXAS COTTON CROP.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.-The department of agriculture is engaged in the investiga- tion of the cotton boil weevel, destructive species of which has recently been intro- duced into southeastern Texas from Mex ico. The insect is practically new to entomologists, although it has been found that thirty years ago it caused the abandon ment of cotton culture around Monclova, Mex.
 Texas cotton planters observed its work in their fields for the first time last sum- mer, and specimens were sent to the de- partment of agriculture for Investigation. An expert was sent into the field under the direc ion of the entomoogist, Dr. l.. O. Howard, and remained through the fall and early winter months, carefully studying the Ina bits of the insect. A district of about 5000 square miles is now infested.
 The insect bores into the cotton boil end ruins the fiber and the seed. In soms in- stances during the past summer 1t has caused loss of from 50 to 90 per cent of the crop. It spreld rather slowly by flight, but is apt to be carried into new re- gions In cotton brought from the infested fields to the somewhat widely separated cotton gins.
 The department of agriculture has warned the state Of Texas, through letter written to the governor, of the probable extension of the damage to the cotton crop in Texas in the near future and the possi- bility of the spread of the insect to neigh boring cotton growing states. Immediate @ legislation is urged, Legislation winch will isolate the affected region and also the Mexican border.

AS TO AN ANNOUNCEMENT REFLECTINq
 ON NEW ORLEANS.
 NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 31.-The dispatches from New York announcing the appoint ment of receiver for the New York Filter company have a tendency to reflect un- justly on the credit of this city.
 Some years ago the New Orleans Water Works company, private corporation, undertook to make arrangements for the Altering of water in it's mains to be fur nished to offices and homes throughout the city. There was general public Inter- est in the project. Nearly a year ago the public was very much disappointed to learn from published announcements that the experiments had been failure. Wher the experiments proved unsatisfactory the water works company declined to accept the apparatus or to carry out the contract. Last December suit was brought against the water works company for S134 ,500, and the suit is still pending in the civil court.
 The New York concern which has just failed has no claim against the city, and its suit is solely against the water works com pany, in which the city has no direct in- terest. No supply of water has been fur nished the city, and the city has not de- faulted in payment.

 NEW YORK, Jan. 3l.-The Recorder says this morning: An agitation is now going on among certain labor unions in fivor of boycotting the militia. Capt. Louis Wendell of Wendel's battery has already fallen, under the ban of the bakers union, who refused to hold their meeting In his assembly rooms by order of the Socialistic Central Labor federation.
 Walters Local Assembly No. s742, Knights of Labor, has passed resolutions boycotting the militia, which have been indorsed by Mixed Local Assembly No. 2234 and other labor organizations.
 Hereafter applicants for mem bership will be asked if they are members of the national guard, and if so, if they are will ing to withdraw as soon as their term of service expires. Members of the assem- plies and unions joining the national guard must resign from their orgeniza- tiops, and hereafter will be treated as non- union men.

CRESCENT CITY RACES.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 31.-There was an attendance Of over 5000 at the races today, and the ranks of the talent were greatly augmented by a goodly gathering of would-be sports who burnt their money up on every horse in the race. Their game was chiefly played on the dollar book, and the "Indian ciub' reaped rich harvest of their intended success. The weather was all that could be desired, but the track was still slushy and heavy. The chief charac- teristc about the running was the fact that before the start the jockeys could be desig- mated by their colors, but at the finish they were all alike covered with mud. Jockey Turner was suspended ten days in the sec ond race, and Mcdonald got S25 dose of discipline by Starter Pettingill in the fifth race.
