SANTA CLARA CELEBRATION.
Mexicans and Indians Make High
Holiday.


ESPANOLA, N. NJ, Aug. 12-This
was Santa Clara day, which means as
much to the MeXicans and Indians
OF the Espanola valley as the Fourth
OF July, Christmas and st. Patricl1's
day combined to the ordinary Ameri-
can About 5000 people congregated
at the Santa Clara Puebla, where high
mass was celebrated at Z O'Clock. after
which procession was formed and
the image of Santa Clara was carried
through the streets of the village and
landed with much ceremony in a place
prepared for the occasion. Candles
We're kept burning in front of the altar
all day and a guard of honor stationed
at the entrance to the booth. At noon
the Indian drum announced the be-
ginning of the dance, which was kept
up by about fifty dancers until nearly
nlghtfa1l. 1t is called the harvest
dance, and given in honor of the patron
saint of the Puebla in hopes that he
will intercede in behalf of the people
and secure a good harvest. Delega-
tons from eight or ten other Pueblas
We're present, as we'll as large delega-
lions of NavajoS and Jicarilla Apaches
The dance was the principal feature
OF the day, although there were foot
faces, scrub horse races and chicken
races during the afternoon. There was
no whisky sold at the village, but the
bootleg saloon was very much in evil
dence and several free fights were the
result among the Mexicans, one man
being badly cut in the face The. fe-
male dancers wore all their fine toy
gerry, while the males were naked from
the waist upward, being painted
maroon color and decorated with white
spots.

VALE, REXANS.

The case of Mr.. Pembroke and
his pension having been disposed of,
it is not necessary to waste much
time on such small fry as Col"
Bevans, the officious amateur report
er who seems to have been response
BILE for the unjust statements con-
corning it. He appears to be one of
those singular people who prefer to
stand before the public in an IN
pleasant light rather than to re-
main in his native obscurity. Acting
on this principle, he contributed to
yesterdays Pioneer Press long let
responsible for the original erroneous
statement in that paper, and for the
criticism of which it was made the
basis. We do not feel that the Pho
neer- Press is to be congratulated
| upon this addition to it's reportorial
and editorial force; for, upon Bev-
ans statement, which, however, is
not infallible, he belongs to both.
He now admits that he never saw
Mr.. Pembroke at all; and as the pa
pers in the case tell their own story,
it will be seen that the predicament
of Bevans is not a pleasant one. The
vulgarity of the remainder of his
communication is in keeping with
the original performance that is now
brought home to Bevans. Since he
says that he is in doubt as to what
the G l o b e thinks a proper punish
ment for offenses of this sort, we can
inform him. When a man is con-
victed, by the records and by his
own confession, of doing what Bev-
ans has done, gentlemen everywhere
decline to have anything further to
do with him. The G o e, having
administered the castigation which
he invited and deserved, will set the
example Vale RevanS

men whose support was expected have
advised the leaders of the affair that
they will not be present, and it appears
the conference will be a hopeless fizzle.
1t is officially announced that if the
meeting is held at all it will meet solely
for the purpose of deciding upon the
plan for carrying on the fight for sill
yer within the party lines, and that
no action which could be considered in
opposition to party doctrines will be
taken or considered.
BOSSING ALLISON'S BOOM.
One of the things remarked about the
recent presidential boom of Mr.. AIH-
son is that it appears to be in the Gus
tody of Col. Clarkson. This was unex-
pected. Col. Clarkson has for some
years been very much in evidence in
Iowa Republican affairs, but he did not
appear to run the recent convention.
HIS failure to do so at that time ex-
cited some remark. He was supposed
10 be to certain extent in favor of
Mr.. Allison for president, as all Iowa
Republicans were, but he was looked
upon as being lukewarm in the cause.
Folltlclans Immediately drew compari-
son between Clarkson, of Iowa. and
the passing of Platt and Quay. Mr.. AL
i,oi4 Aliehds, 1t is understood, liked
the new arrangement They claimed
that 1t removed his candidacy from a
too intimate connection with bosses
and bossism, and that he could do per-
fectly well without Clarkson. 1t is now
suggested that the situation and sentf-
ment throughout the whole of the
Northwest had to be considered and
the knowledge of political tactics pos
sesssed by Col. Clarkson led to his be-
ing again charged with the manage
ment of the Allison boom.

WHEN THE PEOPLE SPEAK.

The essential difference between
the Democratic conventions in Illi-
nois and Missouri, which declared for
free silver, and that in Iowa, which
declared against it, must not be lost
sight Of. Neither of the former
could be called, except by stretch
Of the imagination, a representative
assemblage of the people. In neither
of these states is there any election
to be held this year. In neither of
them were any candidates to be nom
mated, or was there any ordinary or
legitimate occasion for the holding
of convention. 1t is simple i'm
possibility to get the voters of a
party out to the primaries under
such circumstances. These two
bodies were officeholders' conven-
tons, pure and simple. They repre-
sented principally the holders of
state or federal patronage, and were
called and engineered for political
and personal purposes. Those who
voted for delegates to attend them
constitute but small percentage
of the aggregate Democracy of either
of these states.
The convention in Iowa, on the
other hand, was regular state con-
vention, in which the people took the
usual interest and had the usual
voice. 1t was called to nominate
candidates for state offices, to be
voted for at this falls election. The
primaries were held and the con-
vention assembled according to Or
derby precedent and party rule The
delegates represented, therefore. &C
curately, the opinion Of their con-
stituents. The result of this was
the defeat of an unconditional free
coinage plank by the votes of about
two-thirds of the entire convention.
The free silver sentiment has been
immensely stronger insIowa than in
Illinois. 1t has carried away with
it more members of the Democratic
party in the former state than in the
latter. 1t can probably count more
followers there today relative to
the total membership. We be-
ieve that the Democratic con-
vention in that state declared
in favor of free silver only
five years ago. Yet there was at no
time any doubt about the result in
the present convention, nor any hes
itation on its part in expressing the
opinion that the Democratic party
must not support free coinage at the
: ratio of 16 to l.
In Illinois and in Missouri the con-
yentions were irregular, out of date,
and not representative of the peo-
pie. They were called together by
the chairman of the state Democratic

HARVEST EXCURSIONS.
One Fair for the Round Trip,
With Conditions.

with Conditions.
CHICAGO, Aug. 12-The committee
of the Western lines which has had the
task of preparing a report to the gen.
eral meeting on the subject of general
restrictions to be placed around the
sale of harvest excursion tickets, has
for the most part finished it's work,
although it will meet tomorrow to fin
ish up some odds and ends. The plan
which it has been determined to rec
ommend to the general meeting is as
follows: The tickets shall be sold at
one fare for the round trip; when the
purchaser desires to return, the agent
at the pointof destination shall, on the
payment of 81, issue certificate that
the holder is the original purchaser of
the ticket. No ticket will be honored
on the return unless shown with the
certificate attached. This plan does
away with the necessity of issuing a
lot of special tickets for the excur-
sions, and makes, the committee be-
lieves, ticket sufficiently ironclad for
the purpose. Two harvest excursions
will be run, the last of August OF
about the LIST of September, and two
more in October.
The roads in the Western Lines Pas

round trip has been granted for the
following fairs and expositions: Ham

THE DOUBLE UMPIRE SYSTEM


The question of having two UNI
pires on the ball field instead of one.
which has come before the National
league, should be considered serious
ly by the Western league as well.
No objection having force has been
urged against it to our knowledge.
Whether there shall be two umpires
or one is only a matter of expense on
one side; on the other, it is a matter
of fairness. No devotee of the ball
field can fail to agree, we think,
that the two-umpire system is more
satisfactory both to players and to
spectators. 1t is impossible for an
umpire standing behind the bat to
render an exact decision as to Wheth-
er men are put out at bases, unless
he is enough of a sprinter to cover
the whole field in less time than it
takes the fastest runner in any team.
No man standing in the center of the
ground can always be accurate in
his judgment of balls and strikes.
Now the interest of the game de-
ponds upon absolutely fair rulings
throughout. While the mistakes
made either way cancel each other,
on the average, in the work of a fair
umpire, the public wants as few of
them as possible.
The worst 6ra no o1z Of
and the one most certain to de-
stroy its popularity if continued, is
the constant interruption by kicking
against the decisions of the umpire.
There would be little or no room
for this if the double umpire system
were adopted. With one umpire al
ways behind the bat, having moth
ing to do except to decide on balls and
|. strikes, and not needing to watch
the bases at all, and with another
in the diamond who could reach any
base as quickly as the runner, and
be both certain and just in his de-
c1sionS, this constant quarreling
SOAN w SIOPpCo. IL WOulu D0 just,
with such a system, to fine peremp-
torily every man who made himself
obnoxious by protesting against a
decision. When the game had lost
some of its popularity, so that man.
ayers found it difficult to pay their
expenses, there was some excuse for
adopting the single umpire system.
But this season has seen such a re-
Vlval of interest in the Western
league that the receipts are more
than ample. The small item of an
additional salary for another UNI
pire ought not to weigh for a mo-
ment against the Improvement of the
game, and the increased satisfaction
of the public which this change
would give. There are a good many
thousand people, in these two cities
at least, who earnestly hope that the
double-umpire system will be adopt
ed permanently. Nor will managers
who yield to this opinion find it, in
the long run, pecuniary loss. There
is money in it.

STIRRING UP WHISKY.
Fresh Attempt to Stop the Sale Of
Trust Property.

PETOSKEY, Mich, Aug. 1.-THE
great whisky trust case was again in
court today before Judge Wood, of the
Seventh United States circuit, sitting
in chambers at his summer cottage at
BayView. The argument was on a pc
tltlon for an appeal from the decree
OF Judge Showalter, ordering the wind
ing up of the affairs of the trust and
the sale of all its assets by Receiver
McNulta. The plaintiffs came to Judge
Woods because at present there is no
circuit judge in Chicago. The argu-
ments were not finished today, and
the session was adjourned until tomor-
row morning. The request for grant
ing of an appeal comes from John
Olmsted, upon whose petition the de-
cree of sale was granted. William
BURY opened the case for Olmsted, ex-
planning the apparent inconsistency by
insisting that the decree of July "a
was a final decision, ordering the sale
of a large amount of property which
would thereby pass to third parties,
and that the decree did not grant Ohm
sted's petition, because Greenhut and
Lansy were not permitted to be joined
with Olmsted. Mr.. Mayer replied for
the reorganization COMMITTEES.

contracting in harmony with them,
certainly has something in it which
we could with profit assimilate to
our own banking practice and in
corporate with it. The first step to-
ward any such reform, however,
must be the abolition of the system
of government issues. AS long as
the amount of money in circulation
is regulated by political bodies, as
long as such money is issued directly
from the federal treasury, and is so
inelastic in volume that the authori-
ties have no power to make it re-

world of trade, we cannot hope to
have currency that is either sensi-

This was the day set by the court for
the final settlement of the claims, and
the insurance companies not being able
to prove, as they have always main
tanned they could, that the doctor is
still alive, were compelled to pay over
the amount stated. 1t was divided as
follows. Provident Savings associa-
