The death of Justice Jackson caused
one OF the most desirable vacancies
within the gift of the Executive. As
the late Justice Jackson was from
Tennessee The South ought to have
the position. Political gosslps here
say New York will get it, and that Ex-
Postmaster Blssell is the strongest man
for it. A leading Democrat says that
Hon. John Randolph Tucker of Va,
or the Hon. John Goode would be a
good man tor the place. \ orth Caro-

HOME AND ABROAD.

1t is the duty of everyone. whether
at home or travelling for pleasure OF
business, to equip himself with the
remedy which will keep up strength
and prevent illness, and cure such ills
as are liable to come upon all in every
day life. For instance, Hoods Sarsa-
parllla as a general tonic. and to keep
the blood pure and less liable to absorb
the germs of disease, Will be we'll nigh
invaluable. Change Of drinking water
often causes serious trouble, especially
II one has been used to spring water in
the country. From a few drops to a
teaspoonful of Hoods Sarsaparilla in a
tum bier of water viii prevent the wa
ter having any injurious effect.
Hoods Vegetable Pills, as a cathar-
tic. cause no discomfort, nor disturb
ance, no loss Of sleep, but assist the d.
gestlve organs, SO that satisfactory re-
suits are effected IN a natural and reg
ular manner.

1t has been stated recently that NJ
Walter II. Page, late editor of the
Forum, Is now on the staff of the New

This is a good thing for the Herald
but for Mr.. Pages sake we could wish
he were IN position where the public
could see him. A staff writer on a pa
per like the Herald Is very much like
piece OF the machinery in one of its
great presses.

The Genuine Merit

OF Hoods Sarsaparilla wins friends

COTTON.

Cotton is prc-eminehtIy the ag-
ricultural product Ct the South,
and cur first consideration must be
given to the conditions which af-
feet the production Of that staple
The worlds supply of cotton Is
chiefly furnished by the United
States, India, China, Africa-par-
ticularly Egypt-and Brazil, Of
which, according to Thomas Eli
son (lSS4} the United States con-
tributes some sc per cent and the
other countries the remainder.
According to statistics, however,
OF the United States Department
Of Agriculture (lS93) tits estimated
that net less than 70 per cent of
the cotton which enters into uni
versal commerce is supplied by
the Southern States. This vast
contribution has given ground to
the belief that the cotton supply
of this country fixes the worlds
prices of that article, that those
prices rise and fall in direct pro,
portion to the volume of our crop.
and that we can make the price

important to know if this is cor
rect. Individual opinion cannot
determine the matter; we must be
guided hy the most authenic sta
ustical data. TO avoid the errors
often resulting from covering toe
short period, the following table
is made to extend from 1871 to
1892, inclusive. and is prepared
from statistics furnished by the
United States Department Of Ag-
rlculture, and represents the VOL

INDIANS IN WHITE OAKS.

The report circulated on the Rio
Grande to the effect that two men had
been killed on the trail between the
Jicarihas and this place, lacks only a
few points of having semblance OF
truth in it. There is town here known
as "White Oaks about ten miles from
White Oaks is a busting mining camp
bearing the name OF "Jicarilas." and we
are informed that there are such things
as Indians But that anybody has
been found dead between this town and
JIcarilla Is not true, nor have there been
any hostile Indians in this region, so far
as known, for many years past. Now
and then a few Mescaeros, who arc
farming in a small way on tho west side
Of their reservation, come to White
Oaks with their products and exchange
them for such merchandise as they re-
quire and then return to their homes
apparently wol satisfied with their
business transactions here.
This is the sum and substance Of the
Indian dep-edations which have caused
such commotion abroad.

WEIGHT OF A BEE.

Careful Weighing shows that an ordinary bee
not loaded, weighs the one five thousandth
part of pound, SO that it takes FIVE thousand
bees, not loaded, to make u pound. But the
loaded bee, when he comes in fresh from the
fields and fowess. loaded with honey or bee
bread, weighs nearly three times more that is
to say, be carries nearly twice his own weight.
OF loaded bees there are only about eighteen
hundred in the pound. An ordinary hive of
bees contains from four to five pounds of bees,
or between twenty and twenty-five thousand
individuals, but some swarms have double this
weight and numkss of bees. Farm Firesids
The bees we used to monkey with
weighed very much more than they dc
nova days. AS we remember them
they were always loaded and would
weigh ton.

HUGHES AND THE COURT.

We would remind the White Oaks Eagle that
two of the judges learned in law and who were
present in all the proceedings Of the supreme
court against Hon. Thomas Hughes, decided
that the court had no legal right to imprison
Mr. Hughes.-Raton karge.
The EAGLE has not offered any criti-
cisms and does not propose to comment
on the merits OF the case against Mr..
Hughes. 1t believes the court was in
better position to ascertain it's duty than
the EAGLE at this distance from the
hearing. We have always thought, and
still think, that the majority OF the court
decided the case as they believed was
right. We also believe that those mem
bers OF the court who diesented from
the decision did so in the honest opinion
that their views we're correct. We
should very much deprec cate the wrong
full imprisonment Of any citizen, whether
he be Republican, Democrat or what
not politically, but we are not ready to
think that the Imprisonment in question
was from any vicious or corrupt motive
on the part OF the majority. The case
was fully argued by counsel Tor the
| defendant and presumably all the ques-
tions OF defense were submitted to and
were before the court, and to assume
that, because the judges on the bench
were OF one political party, and the de-
fendant of the other, that political
malice was at the bottom of the decision
against Mr.. Hughes, is a violent dis
regard for the apparent truth. We
believe that the present bench of New
Mexico, in point Of ability and honesty,
compares favorably with any former one
in thelast seventeen years, during which
period the writer has had more or less
to do with courts in the territory, run
nlng through both Democratic and Re
publican administrations. True, all
litigants. who are met with decisions ad
verse to their respective causes, are in
clined to think that the court is wrong
and how frequently we hear one com
planning that the political views Of the
: parties and the Judge had some influence
in the case. This is an exceedingly
! narrow minded conclusion in sucf
matters, but it seems to be too common
even among mee who usually take 1
much broader view of the affairs OF life
And this is apparently the situation o
many of the Republican newspape
s writer's OF the territory in the case O
, Mr.. Hughes. We do not believe that al
Y the virtue or intelligence is in the Re
t publican party, nor do we think that al
. the rascality, which is often found:in pub
D lie affairs, can be traced to members O
q that party. On the other hand W
y claim for the Democratic party just a
d much honesty and good sense as can b
}, found in the opposition, and we admi
s that there are some bad men in on
e party as we'll as TIE other. There ar
certain public questions, concernin
a which people do not agreo, but it doe
not follow that, because one is identitie
d with this or that political school, thos
'f of the other schools must nocessaril
. call him knave or fool.

THURMAN DEAD.

Hon. Allen @. Thurman died at bis

o'clock on the afternoon Of the 18th,
inst, at the age OF 80 years Tne im-
mediate cause OF his death was fall ho
sustained some weeks since, from the
effects of which he was thought to be
recovering.
Judge Thurman had been conspicu.
Gus figure in National and State affairs
Tor more than fifty years, having been
elected to congress in 1871. A few years
later he was elected to the supreme
bench OF Ohio and served one term,
and twelve years in the United States
Senate from that state from 1869 to
1881.
He was born at Lynchburg, Va, but
whom six years old his parents moved to
Ohio whore he continued to reside TO
the timo Of his death.

the most upright and nble Of the men
OF his time, and ms private lie may we'll

AHLSIyE.

There seems to be general disposi-
tion ON the part of the Republican press
of New Mexico, which amounts to
contagion, to vilify and abuse, not only
every Democratic office holder, but
every Democrat of any prominence.
Even the Las Vegas Optic, usually so
conservative and fair, has fallen victim
to this infection and turned its battery
on that excellent lawyer and respected
citizen, W. B. Childers, of Albuquerque,
and intimates t5at Mr.. Chiders is
"scheming" fer The solicitorship Of the
Santa Fe railroad.
Tho Albuquerque Democrat, in a
forcible review OF the subject, says:
All this is the veriest rot Childers and
Judge Sterry do not belong to that class OF
lawyers who resort to the methods of small fry
politicians to secure professional employment
They wait for clients to como to them they dc
not seek their clients. Any man who does is
not worthy to be trusted with the large and del.
icate interests of q big railroad corporation oil
anybody olse. 1t is not true that Childers hai
recently made any more enemies in New Mex
leo than he has always had. Tho feerless ant
honest discharge of disagreeable duty imposed
upon him iu the Catrou and Spioss case has se
some of the ours to barking at his heels wh'
never at any time lacked the dis psss4Icn to dc
so. Mr.. Chdders never discharged duty il
his life half hcaItedly. When the suprem

of the Catron aud Spices case, the court. a

did more. Such man can be safely trustee
with the most important and delicate interee
of any client.

HARMONY.

There is a certain class OF newspapers
OF the Democratic faith that is Just
now urging upon the party the necessity
OF harmonizing the differences on the
issues before the country, and uniting to
flight the Republicans" So far as we
are concerned we have no fight to make
on Republicans. Many of our very best
neighbors arc Republicans whom we
highly esteem as individuals and
citizone. 1t is "Repnblicanism" that we
are inc red to oppose, and because we
believe that the public policy pursued
by that party and proposed for its future
course has not been, and will not be,
conclusive to the best interests OF the
country. And it ls not material con
sideration with us whether that Repub-
licanism is found among members of
that political organization or among 30
called Democrats, in either case we are
opposed to it. II those who claim to be
Democrats desire to adopt the Republl-
can doctrine OF national finances, which
has been opposed by practically un-
divided Democracy for thirty years or
more; or If they wish to endorse the
late tariff Legislation as the exemplica-
ton of this Democratic theory OF "tGriff
reform" while that act is, in fact, nothing
but a protective scheme in slightly
modified form, they have un upquestion.

be in b tier taste for such as these to
support "liepublicanism in the Repub'

friends of the organization their politi
cal views are calculated to disrupt and
