WELCOME CHANGE.

Weather literature and weather discus
sion are apt to be rather perfunctory and
commonplace. but there is food for real en-
thusiasm in the prospect that the long
drouth which has terribly afflicted nearly
every State of the Union is at an end.
Official and unofficial predictions have
so often gone astray of late that one ap-
proaches the subject with extreme titnid-
ity, but the outlook is now so fair for
weather usually called foul that cangratu-
lations may be Offered, even il one must
cautiously attach a string to them.
1t is fortunately rare in the meteuroIogi-
cal history of the country that drouth
of the extent and severity OF the one now
apparently ending has been experienced.
Possibly never before have the great lakes
and rivers been SO eriousiy affected
Large cities have suffered for water for
ordinary uses. Fleets of vessels have been
stranded in rivers and lakes. Traffic, both
international and interstate, has suffered
immeasurable loss. Pasture has been
ruined. Fall crops have been in iured in
quantity and quality to an extent that
cannot be estimated Aud yet, with all
these calamitous conditions, there is plenty,
prices have not materially advanced for
any necessary of life, and Industries are
everywhere increasing the number of the
employed, the wages paid them, and their
output at good prices.
There is no good reason, therefore, for
calamity howl even in the presence of
the drouth's great damages. And now
that Jupiter Pluvius seems once more to
have got the upper hand in weather in-
vention, evcn the most lugubrious proph
cts of evil may properly wear a comfort

Phenomenal Increase Leads It's Rival
to Resort to Underhand Methods.
Since The Times began publishing its
sworn circulation statements, cries OF
distress have from time to time been
heard from the camps uf its competitors.
But, it was only when the strongest rival
was overtaken and distanced in the race
for popularity that underhand methods
which would not be tolerated in ordinary
business transactions, were called into use.
The numerous merchants who have been
approached, and who have kindly kept The
Times Informed, afford other advertisers
the best evidence of the strength of The
Times, and its value as an advertising
medium strength that cannot be shaken

Say that The Times is their favorite paper.
The total number OF copies of The Times
actually sold and distributed during the
past week was 22S, 4s5. showing a gain
over the preceding week Of 1.029, and
sos more than its nearest rival These
figures speak for themselves and are not
affected by slanderous tongues
Circulation brings results, and merchants
who use The Times obtain the Results for
which they advertise.

Cleveland's World Tour.

NEW YORK, Nov. ga local
paper says: 1t was announced last
evening by E. G. Benedict, the
trusted and intimate friend of
President Cleveland, that the lat
ter will not, under any circum-
stances, accept third nomination
for the presidency. Mr.. Benedict
has so long enjoyed the confidence
of Mr.. Cleveland and is so close in
his Citations with him that this
statement has semi-official COM
plexion. Mr.. Benedict said: 81
am certain that Mr.. Cleveland
would decline another nomination
il it were offered to him. 1 am
positive he does not want to serve
third term. l am equally posi-
tive that he could not be persuad-
ed, under any circumstances to &C
cept the nomination il it should be
rendered TO him. l have heard
him say that he intended to make
tour of the world at the expira-
tion of his second term; that he
wanted to see more Of the world
than he had seen and that he had
his travelling companion already
picked out, at least that he had
asked a personal friend OF his to
accompany him on the tour. In
making this statement for publica-
ton, Mr.. Benedict has so far de.
parted from his previous reticence
with regard to Mr.. Cleveland's az
fairs, that it has special signifi-
canoe.

MURDERED AND ROBBED.
The Unknown Found Dead Near Mutt
Believed to Be W. L. Cheney.
Of Las Cruces.

On Wednesday the New MEXICAN print
ed telegram from Mutt station, Dona
Ana county, stating that the body of an
unknown man had been found in pool
near there. Word now comes from DonR
Ana county that the victim is believed to
be W. L. Cheney, of Las Cruces.
Cheney and his brother have been liv-
ing on the Hadley place for some time.
Last Saturday the Young man left with
saddle-horse and pack mule for hunting
trip in the Black Range. On Sunday
night he camped near Mutt station, where
he was seen by passing train crew. On
Monday morning he was found dead, ~
ing on his back with his throat cut from
ear to ear. The description given leaves
no doubt in the mind of the elder Cheney
that the murdered man is his brother.
As no mention of the animals is made
in the meagro reports received from Mutt,
it seems probable that the murder was
committed for plunder and that the horse,
mule and hunting outfit we're taken by
the assassin. Cheney must have been at
tackled while asleep.
