MGAUGHEY FOR COMMITS
SIONER,

Yesterday morning it was learned OF
the streets that the attorney genera
had issued an opinion backing up the
land commissioner in his refusal t.
hermit land agents and the public IL
general to examine the records i'll the
land office without paying fee, unless
it be the party at interest. The OPINION
also holds that the party at interest," can
not delegate his privilege IN TINS dlrec,
can NOT come himself to examine the
records he can obtain a certified copy OF
60 much of them as concern him by ap-
nIving to the commission for the same
and Enon the payment of the fee hXeu
Inv law for such certified copy.
when II was learned on the streets
r. created a regular whirl among the
land men here in the city. AS soon
as began mingling with the crowds
Yesterday morning l heard the talk, ana
It was anything but joyful talk, 100
Truth to tell, the land agents were mad
and they didn't care much VINO knew It,
1t will be remembered that Land Com
missioner Baker, when he went INTO
the Office, made clean sweep OF previous
rulings and stated emphatically that out
Sa;dors could not look at the land office
records without price or hindrance. This
raised n commotion, and kicks have been
numerous, and many all down the line
but now that the attorney general sus-
tains the commissioner in this matter,
the land agents are sore indeed. Ihey
Yesterday threatened dire vengeance
against Commissioner Baker, but know
ing him as well as | do, | think that
he is able to stand their cussing. lie
seems to get along exceedingly well,
standing alienated as he does from the
balance of his executive family in their
silver hobby. His sound money doc
trines have caused the balance OF the
MAINLY loss of sleep, but Colonel Baker
does not seem to worry much about the
fact that he is singly and alone in this
matter of sound Democratic principles.
The reason of this is that he knows he
y is right, and he says the same sense of
security attends him IN the present in
stance anent the fight of the land agents
on his rulings. The land agents mean
to wage war, though, and if the old
saving that straws indicate which way
the wind blows, | am in position to
advance the scheme by which they pro-
pose to even up matters with him, and
it is this way:
Yesterday while several of the agents
were discussing the matter they cited
the fact that when Colonel McGaughey
was in the land Office the latch string
was ever on the outside to all corners,
and they wished to God that he was
back there once again. This last re-
mark was made with such a knowing
look that it gave an inkling of their
intentions, which are nothing more nor
less than to run Colonel McGaughey
for land commissioner next year against
Commissioner Baker. When Colonel
McGaughey was here several days ago
he was seen hobnobbing with several
land agents, and he gave it out that
he was here on land business. He had
hardly gotten out of town, however, be-
fore it was intimated quietly that posi-
bly, the colonel might be a candidate for
his old job at the next election. And
thus the matter is before you. The

FAKE SENSATIONAL NEWS.

Tegucigalpa, Honduras, via Galveston,
Tex, Sept. 15.-The statement that
earthquakes occurred on last Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday with a loss of
lives and causing destruction of a church
and dwellings,, is without foundation so
far as is known in Tegucigalpa. No
such earthquakes have been heard of
here and the statements made in the
supposed dispatch are false in detail.
The American public was electrified on
Friday last, September 13, by a detailed
report in newspapers served by the
United Press, of horrible earthquake

CHOLERA PRECAUTIONS.

washington, Sept. 15.-Dr. Wyman
surgeon general of the marine hospital
assured a reporter that all possible pre-
cautions have been taken to secure the
United States from an epidemic OF
cholera or yellow fever. He says that
the cool weather will do great dea
to keep out yellow fever, and the country
having escaped so far there need be NJ
fear of an invasion this late: The doc
tor says the cold weather will not inter
fere materially to prevent the spread Of
cholera and close watch will have to be
kept upon all ports where there is q
possibility of cholera being introduced.

MASSACRE INQUIRY STOPPED.

New York, Sept. ia Worlds cable
from Foo Chow, China, says: The Chi
nese refuse to execute single murderer
implicated in the massacre of missiona-
ries unless they are assured that with the
execution of the men accused all other de-
mands shall cease. The work of the
American and British joint commission
is therefore stopped. Without the pres
ence of foreign feet no punishment for
the massacre is possible. The Vegetari-
ans are relying on official sympathy to
begin again Selling and torturing Chris
tians.

where somebody was suggesting to Gov

ming the day, and within six months
from now the backbone of the silver
movement will be SO effectually broken
that 1T can not sustain even itself, let
alone the men who are now hanging
on to it. So, judge the situation as you
may, and you can see where it would
be to the interest of any politician to de-
sert a ship that has already sprung q
leak and will ere long sink to that obi
won that has kindly covered So many
political wrecks in the past"
NO TROUBLE IN THIS INSTANCE.
Talking about the taxpayers here
kicking about their taxes being raised
reminds me of an incident that hap
pened in one of the older States some
years ago." said a gentleman to me
yesterday. "There was an old lady
there who owned a house with about 10
acres of ground and an old Southern
mansion on it. She had lived there
since she was young woman and had
raised all her children there. Her affec-
tons for that old home were as tender
as those of mother for her child. This
old lady was one of those sweet-faced
old-timers that won the hearts of all
those who came in contact with her, and
in that section of the country every one
adored her. Prior to this particular
time some one of her children had al
ways rendered the property to the tax
assessor at $2500, which was about half
of what the property would really have
brought at private sale. On this all-im-
portant day, however, when the tax
assessor came around he found the old
lady sitting on the front gallery and
asked her to assess her property. She
Immediately said that she would not
take 100000 for the property and that
she wouldn't sell it to anybody at any
price. The tax assessor explained that
he wanted to know what the property
was worth, and knowing the old lady's
pride in her home, tried to show her
that she must only render it at what it
was really worth. He knew that the
property would not bring $4,000 and tried
to tell her so. The old lady took deep
offense at this and insisted that the
property was worth 100000, and,
what's more, she made the assessor put
it down at that. 1t is needless to say
that unbeknown to the old lady the as
sessment was changed back to $25OO
by the children. If all taxpayers were
like this dear old lady, however, there
would be no necessity of raise in the
assessment rolls.

MANCHESTER MARKETS

Manchester, Sept. 15.-The market has
been unchanged and slow and dragging.
Eastern offers for cloth have been fairly
large, but not generally like acceptable
limits. Still some business has been done
in shifting and jaconets for Calcutta.
The miscellaneous markets were taking
small stock lots. The home trade is i'm
proving. The spinners' position remains
unchanged, and losing margins continue
the leading feature. The continent has
maintained it's excellent position.
