left. The pineapple plants in the south

matoes and other vegetables which are
raised in large quantities for the early
Northern markets are also killed.

It looks as though President Diaz is
handicapped by his cabinet on account
OF finances, but Guatemala, as far as
can be learned here. still stands on
her original proposition. Mexico has, so
far, apparently ignored clause OF the
treaty Of 1889. calling for arbitration,
consequently Guatemala and the other
members OF the reputed federation OF
the Central American republics ignore
the treaty OF 1857. Guatemala has be-
tween ten and twelve thousand troops
now on the frontier. Among the yari-
GUS foreign nations hero the sentiment
seems unanimous that Mexico's policy
is Justified and tho opinion also seems
to prevail that unless Guatemala re-
cedes there will be a declaration OF war

THE WONDERFUL GRAND CANYON.
More Impressive Than Niagara, More
BeautIfnl Than the Aims


There Gro many wonders within tho
limits OF tho Yellowstone park, but OF
thom all there Is nothing so wonderful as
the Grand canyon Of tho Yellowstone river.
One can ut no senson Of the year yiew this
tremendous gorge without sense Of awe
at the worl, Of tho Titanic elemental forces
which have Followed It out Of the ondur.
ing granite of the bills. There is an i'm
preston of unspeakable solemnity con.
yeycd by this giant spectacle, and no
American looks upon It without sense
OF absolute humility and insignilonnca.
Tho thought the meaning, the expression,
OF the Grand canyon Is something the hui
man mind Is unable Mt first TO grasp.
There is no coup d'nil possible there.
There Is no definite thought resultant up
on any siuRle glance at the Grand canyon,
no mntter how comprehensive or how per.
spectivo that may be.
The Grand canyon refuses to be com
pnssed at glance. 1t demands faithful,
patient, humble study More impressive
than Niagara, more mighty than the sen,
more beautiful than tho Alps, IL offers to
the visitor an enigma capable Of solution
only after long and Teverent acquaintance.
To attempt to see tho Grand canyon In ON
hour or day Is ridiculous To attempt 10
see IL as one Of crowd Is n wrong TO onos

mako tho visitor and observer at first Gu

almost say, worshipful. Not even the most

IT lakes IN ALL CITIES,
DOES THE LAW REGARDING rLEc-
qIoN or ALDERMEN.



Austin. Tex, Fob. l.--Assistant At

following letter to the mayor Of Gail

Auatln, Tex, Feb, 1, is95.-IIon. A.
W, Fly. Mayor or Galveston. Galveston.
Tex Dear Sir: Your letter OF january
10. dirccted 10 the ottorney-generM
has been received. You ask in sub
stance, II cities acting under special
charter come within the rule OF tho
decision rendered by this department
January %. holding that a statute pro-
vidlng for the election Of aldermen by
wards. voted for only by the qualified
electors of such ward. was unoonsti-
tutlonal.
In passing upon the question. my
answer was confined strictly within IA,
scope OF the question asked. and there
was no effort made to arrive at a
conclusion as to whether cities over
10000 inhabitants, and acting under
special charter would be affected.
After examining into the matter I see
no distinction In the election OF nlder-
men In citicH acting under special
charter and those Incorporated under
the general law. Tho same constitu-
tonal mandate giving every qualified
voter OF city or town the right to
vote for mayor and all elective officers
applies to cities and towns OF both
CLASSES
Aldermen who have been elected
undor tho statute now In force are
dc faeto officers. ana all their acts arc
binding and valid.

olsion OF january 20. the reasoning In
which also applies 20 the ruling now

This disputed strip" said Mr., Nor

that both nations claim are just crowd
