WEAR Y1UR 0NN c0aT.

We seem to have turned over the tickle
box of the Buena Vista Patriot. 1t has
resurrected a gray-haired anecdote, and,
after laughing itself hoarse, shoots it at
us in this fashion:
Isn't it funny that the DAWSON NEWS
admits that the democratic party wants
"bimetallism. AZ parity" while it adVo-
Gates unlimited free coinage of silver at
the Is to ratio, which would bring silver
monometallism and create a great dispar-
ity in our money. This reminds us of a
crosseyed man who was in the act of
knocking a hog in the head while anoth
er held the swine by the ears. 'Hold
on" cried the man holding, ''if you are
going to hit where you are looking get
another man to do the holding" That's
the trouble with these free 10 to l fel
lows. Under the cloak of "bimetaliiSm
at parity" they are hitting heavy blows
for the silver standard.
Like the rainbow chaser, the Patriot
cries "stop thief to divert attention. This
is why it insists that those who believe in
blmetallism are after silver monometal-
ism, while the truth is the advocates Of
"sound money" hope thus to bring gold
monometallism to pass. THE News is
for restoring silver to the place it occu-
pied before it was demonetized and the
countryl put upon gold basis. We are
for bimetallsm without any reading be-
tween the lines.
But we are glad to know that the Pa
triot has opened its joke pouch. We
hope it will be on tap early and often.
There is no reason why there shouldn't
be some fun mixed with the discussion
of this weighty matter.

BOSTON, April L, 1S95.-The Coal Deal
ers Club of Boston, an organization
comprising the principal retail dealers
and many wholesalers doing business in
Boston and vicinity, disbanded. after a
rather stormy meeting. yesterday after
noon.
The club was instituted several years
ago, for mutual benefit, the principal OBJ
ject being to regulate the Boston market
by fixing the selling price OF coal from
time to time.
The arrangement worked admirably for
those directly interested. Larger divi-
dends were declared and business has been
very prosperous for the dealers who
wer members of the combination, while
many dealers were obliged to give up
business.
A scale of prices was issued from time
to time and dealers who were members
of the combine were expected to main
tain the standard agreed upon. Those
who sold coal in small quantities, who
are obliged to buy from msmberS of the
coal club, we're forced ito sell at the STAN
dard prices, or at least not below them.
Any infraction of this generally under
stood law meant that they would have
to buy coal in some other place than in
Boston, for the combine practically
controlled the market here.

Iashrnent Totally Destroyed.

The fat rendering works of Dietrich
Molendrok, at the foot of Sip avenue,
were destroyed dast night by fire. The
main building was forty-five by one nun
dred feet, with several outbuildings. The
works were two blocks from any house
and five blocks from any fire hydrant.
At $40 o'clock last night Officer Hen
nessey of the Fourth precinct saw the
flames from West Side avenue and i'm
nlediately sent in an alarm. Owing to the
bad roads leading to the works st took
the firemen twenty m.nutes to reach the
scene. The building was burning thirty
minutes before the fire engines reached
them.
The scarcity of water In the neighbor-
hood hampered the fremen in their fight
against the flames.
The fire started in the northeast part
of the building Mr.. Molendrok, his bro
ther and a workman named John Lafish
worked until 8:15 O'Clock, when the men
went the rounds of the building to see if
everything was all right, when they
suddenly discovered the dames over Their
heads.

with grease It burned like a tinder box.
There were tears in the owners eyes as

CATTLE ARE DEAR.

SANTA FE. N. NJ. April u. 1S95.-An
advance of about twenty-five per cent.
on beef cattle in the last sixty days has
served to greatly elate the live stock
dealers of New Mexico. Mutton has also
gone much higher, showing an advance
equally as great. The stockmen of the
territory saw what was coming year
ago and have husbanded their resources
accordingly. AT the advanced prices
some 1000 cars of cattle will be shipped
during the next six weeks. In 1894 but
100000 head of cattle were on the ranges
OF New Mexico, but during the past year
every stochman has been saving up his
stock, and this year the number reported
for taxation is 750.000 Experts say at
least 100000 head of meat cattle are
now on New Mexico ranges. and of this
number about 25O.000 are ready for ship
ment The sheep in the territory i'm 1890
were 10000 mead. and in 1894 they num-

Up to noon today no trace had been OBJ

abouts of the five convicts who on We'd
nesday night escaped from the Mattea-
wan Asylum for the Criminal Insane.
The attendants of the asylum, REIN
forced by county and State officers, are
securing the country about here in
every direction in the hope OF finding the
men. Immediately upon the escape be-
coming known telegranis were sent to
all the towns and cities close at hand
asking the authorities to keep d watcn
for the fugitives, and the hope IS felt by
the asylum officials that the men win be
caught in some of these places.
The general opinion Is that the men
must be hiding close at hand, most prob
ably IN the mountains. In accordance
With this idea, DR.. Allison has guarded
of the asylum and affords the only road
to Cold Spring, and the FHshkill Noun
tain to the East. He believes that if
the convtcts were moving they would
have been heard from, but that 1t is
likely that they are in hiding and are
waiting for favorable opportunity to
get away.
The men are mot in convict garb. They
were not fully dressed when they es-
capped, and are liable to suffer from the
cold. Thy had trousers, vests ana un-
derelothing, but no overcoats. hats or
shoes.
The belief that the men had aid in the
prison IN escaping gains ground. Lit
is also possible that friends outside have
helped them in their fight.
