Delaware Republicans are not SO for
tunate as their brethren in other States.
In Pennsylvania Republican knows
who his boss is. 1t is Quay. In Ohio
Republican also has ease of con
sicence. His boss is Foraka-. In
West Virginia every Republican knows
that Elkins bosses him. In New York
the Republicans glory in obediency to
Plat. He is very big boss. In
New Jersey Republican is safe from
all harm in Sewell's pocket. He
knows that Boss Sewel owns him.
But the fight in Delaware was so in
conclusive last winter that the average
Republican can not find out who is
the party boss. 1t distresses him To
be thus masterless. Modern Republi-
canism has grown into boss rule, and
it is distressing not TO be able to know
who is the boss in particular locality.
Mr.. Addicks claims that he is the
Delaware boss, but the average Della.
ware Republican doubts mis- bosship,
and is compelled to wander around dis.
consulate and without a comfortable
collar.

We take the following extracts from
Bradstreet's" summary of the state
of trade for last week:
Tho week is characterized in trade
circles by an unexpected, but no less
pronounced, improvement South and
Southwest. This is reflected at mar
kets from which supplies are dis
tributed to these regions.
The most bullish report comes from
St Louis, where there are many coun-
try buyers, and all lines Of staple mer-
chandise are active, with the railroads
making freer purchases, and the manu-
featuring industries pressed to keep up
with requirements. Kansas City, too,
also distributor to the West and
Southwest, reports unusually prompt
mercantile collections and relatively
enormous orders placed with the whole
salers for shoes, dry goods and hard
ware
Al the South fall trade is opening
up more freely than anticipated, with
marked improvement in business, and
increased confidence as to the outlook
at Jacksonville, Atlanta and Augusta,
The improvement in iron has had an
influence at Birmingham and through
pNb Wv iNBlbus du tNulplfb
of which is found in tho temporary
inability of Birmingham wholesalers
to meet the demand for hardware and
groceries.
Aside from the firmness of cotton
goods prices, which is a feature in
trade circles North and East, the most
conspicuous movement is the continued
activity in iron and steel, highest
quotations yet reached having no effect
in restricting demand.
Gross railway earnings of 127 railroads
for August aggregate SAB, 10, Gi2, a
gain of l,G per cent over August a year

OFFICIAL GOSSIP.

Judge II. B. Hamilton, of Socorro, the
newly appointed member of the terrific
rial supreme court, was confirmed by the
U. s. senate yesterday.
1t is understood that Judge A. B. Fall
has forwarded to Washington his resigna-
tion as judge of the 3rd Judicial district
Hon. G. n "ontz, of Silver City is the
principal Applicant for the position, and,
judging from the readiness with which
prominent people are indorsing him, it
seems likely that he has the cinch on the
appointment.
The United States court of private land
claims will convene in Santa Fe on the
2Sth instant, and will probably continue
in session for two or three months. Law

ARBITRATION BILL.
1t Will Probably BE Presented In an
Amended Form.

Washington, Jan. 1l.-Disappointment
is voiced by the members of the house
who favor the arbitration bill over the lack
of interest manifested by the parties
N ost affected by it. Before the holidays
invitations we're sent to many prominent
labor leaders, officials of railroad organi-
cations, railroad magnates, ETC., to pre-
sent their views to the committee on
labor. No response has yet been received
from any one of these men, 80 that the
hearings which we're to have begun this
week and were expected to be interesting
and valuable sessions will probably be
abandoned.
Chairman McGann will bring the bill
up in committee tor vote, however, and
obtain an expression upon it. Mr.. Nc
Cana says such labor leaders as he has
talked with are not strongly in favor of
the measure. They express distrust of
two features of 1.-THE establishment of
permanent commission and the authority
given the courts to enforce the Judgments
of the commission. Objection to the first
PROVISION is that salaried commissioners
may find it more to their interests to
favor railroad corporations than the
worklngmen, and may become biased by
these circumstances. The power given
to the courts is said to SAVIOR of compul-
sorv arbitration, which is generally un-
popular with the workingmen, although
the decrees would be enforced but short
time.
There is possibility that tho bill will
be reported to the house in an amended
form.

EQUALIZING TAXES.
Outline of the Proceedings of the Ter
rit0rial Board Which Ad-
journed Yesterday.

The territorial board of equalization,
which has been in session all this week,
adjourned yesterday afternoon.
There. have been present Messrs.
John Corbett, M. G. dc Baca, w.
O. Kennedy, of Albuquerque, and W..
E. Kelly, of Socorro, Mr.. Martinez, the
Santa Fe member, being out of the city.
Mr.. Corbett, chairman of the board, pre-
sided, and Mr.. de Baca is secretary.
The board has fixed the rates Of assess
ment in a number of instances, those on
the railroad and telegraph lines being the
same as heretofore, The railroad rates
are: Seven thousand dollars per mile
for standard gauge main line railroads
north of Albuquerque, and $6,500 per
mile for the same class south of Albu-
querque. For branch lines of standard
gauge the rate is $4,50O per mile; and for
narrow gauge lines the rate is $4,000 per

will have to pay taxes on the basis of 81
per head and on native goats the assess
ment fixed is 35 cents head.
As to the assessment of lands the board
annulled the rule providing maximum

matter to the discretion of the county
asSasaOra.

BARRETT SCOTT, MYSTERY.
Detectives Volunteering to Find the
Body Of the Missing Treasurer.

Roy and Mullihan, the alleged lynchers of

O'Neil, Neb., Jan. 11.-Hinkerman
Roy and Mullihan, the alleged lynchers of
Barrett Scott, waived preliminary exam
ination yesterday and were bound over
in bonds of $1,000 to appear in the dis
trict court next month.
A large number of letters have been re-
ceived from d .tectives all over the coun-
try who want to ferret out the mystery,
one man going so far as to say he would
recover the body of Scott for $500. Tt is
believed that the family wish to keep the
name of the author of this last mentioned
letter from the public until he is in the
clutches of the law and then he will be
made to tell what he knows about the
case, as it is supposed it was sent for the
purpose of throwing the authorities off
the track.
Sheriff Hamilton has starts out with a
party of twenty volunteers, residents Of
the Niobrara valley, who will continue the
search for the body. The work will be on
the theory that the body was thrown into
the Niobrara river, and the party will be
supplied with graphing hooks to drag
the river. Since the bed of the river is
constantly shifting and is full of quick
sand there is little chance of it being
located if it IS really in the river.
