RiOTING IN NULHEIM.
Result of Competition Between
Steamship Comunnies


BERLIN. August 19-The competition
between two steamship companies caused
a tumult in Mulheim yesterday. and the
trouble continued to-day. The local po-
lice were unable to suppress the disorder,
and they were reinforced by police from
Cologne. The combined forces of police
attempted to dispense the mob that had
gathered. but We're met with showers Of
stones. bottles. and fragments OF iron.
and revolver shots. Many persons were
wounded. including the BurgOmaster, a
police commissary. and twenty-one police
men.
Among he wounded was a boy. who is
dying IN . hospital.
The police fired into the mob but the
effect was not reported. A large number
OF the rioters were arrested. The police
have. however, not yet succeeded In re-
storing order. and IL will probably be
necessary to use troops to do so.

CHANGE THE SUBJECT.

The EAGLE from it's lofty perch has
been watching the conduct of large
number Of its contemporaries for some
time past and finds that they are vast
ing much valuable space wrangling
about questions in which their readers
can feel very little interest. We sec that
tho Ne,C Merican and tho Advertiser
and Independent Democrat are making
horrid faces at each other, the Colfax
Stockmdn and Lincoln Ne,Cs have broken
every bone in Allen Kelley's body, 30 far
as editorial articles at loo miles distant
can accomplish it; the Citizen appears
disgruntled and is snarling at the whole
menag erie, and Col. Williams OF tho
Chieftain has his stick in the pool and
thinks he is stirring it up from the bot
tom. There is one peculiar feature in
these personal chickering's which the
EAGLE observes, and that is that the
most desperate of the combatants are
located very long distance from the
othcr fellow and show no inclination to
take trip in the direction of their en-.
emy-at least, from our perch we can see
no preparations going on looking to that
end. In one or two instances we have
noticed the hurried packing OF grip
with gun. paper collar and a bottle
Of something, but these preparations
have all resulted in blood curdling edi.
torials for the next paper and the can.
collation. OF the engagements to which
the guns and bottles pertained. On the
whole, when the EAGLE closes one eye
and squints at the field, there appears tc
be more atmospheric disturbance in al
this than anything else, and We woul(
like to see these otherwise valuable ex
changes get down to work for their con
stituents and drop the "manly art" bust
ness. Some months ago some Of then
told the EAGLE that it was proper t.
conduct paper in the interest OF it
community and for the benefit OF it
readers. Acting on that advice we flint
we are drifting away from and losinl

sire to have New Mexico remain in a

will join the advocates OF statehood
whenever it is shown that respectable
state government Can be maintained
here. There ought not to romain one
opponent to our admission when we are
assured that good government will fol-

RESULTS OF THE ELECTION.

Democrats have now plenty Of time to
consider the results OF the election held
on the 5th inst. in many of the states
They appear to be simply rcpetitions Of
those held one year ago, though not SO
important in the effects rs applied to
the national issues; yot this second re-
buke OF the democratic party must be
more acutely felt because Of its deliber-
alton after the lapse OF ample time for
the consideration OF the situation, while
last years defeat might have been due
to one OF those inexplicable tidal waves
which are so apt to sweep over the coun.
try against party in power. This years
defeat is the second emphatic stamp OF
disapprovsl OF the policy Of the domo.
cratic party since the Inauguration OF
the present administration, and II would
seem to bo proper point to stop and
take a retrospect for the discovery Of the
causes Of this second overwhelming 70.

In the first place. why should demo-
crat vote the ticket OF his partyY And
what does such vote, when cast, stand
for II tho label ON the top Of the
ticket is sufficient to induce one to vote
it, then the interrogatory is answered.
But il II is claimed that il now means a

ter than the Mckinley act itself So far
as the question OF tariff IL concerned

Let the press of New Mexico lift tho mining
