MORE NEW MEXICO BONDS.
Grant County Subsidies Asked to Be In.
cluded.

n WASHINGTON, d. c., March 49,
A hearing was given, yesterday, by the
house committee on Territories to W..
N. Coler, an attorney Of New YORK,
who desired congress to ratify the bond
issue for subsidies to the Santa Fe rail-
road and made by Santa Fe and Grant
cennties and Silver City, New Mexico.
When the bill to ratlfy the issue
of bonds by New Mexico
to build Its capitol, which
passed the house, was before the
senate, an amendment was added to
make it apply to $4,000 bonds is
sued by New Mexico for aid to the
Santa Fe. Now that the bill is back
in the house, several other parties
desire to have various bond issues in
cluded.
Mr.. Coler represents the holders OF
the bonds which, with those added by
the senate, will amount to half q mil
lion. No action was taken on the re.
quest.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 13.-The
coming Of the republican state conven-
ton to Milwaukee, next week, to se-
lect the delegates-at-large to the St.
Louis convention, has been heralded
BY the quiet arrival in the city to-day
OF coterie OF prominent republicans
hailing from various parts of the state,
and their early presence on the scene
has given rise to many hints OF dark
plots and leep-laid schemes, which are
expected to cnlminate on the corven-
ton floor next Wednesday. The vast
amount Of wire-pulling and button
holing which is being indulged ia has
no reference, as might be supposed BY
the outsider, to the candidates. Of Mo
Kinley, Reed, Allison or Morton, for it
is conceded in all quarters that the
Wisconsin delegation win 60 to St.
Louis instructed for Major Mckinley. II

4 PERIODILAL POP

Now that Jimmie Adams, of the Pine Bluff GRAPHIC, has turned loose his pop-gun on Gov. Clarke, it would be interesting to see Uncle Char ley" Newman of the Commercial, turn loose one or two blasts against his rival from his ''howitzer, the Commercial, just to see Jimmie quake in his boots. It would be fun for everybody else, but hard on Jimmie. -Paragould Soliphoae.
 The Commercial has DO rival in 'Jimmie," besides, why the neces- sity of wasting ammunition on a dead duck? See.-Pine Bluff Conn merc,al.
 We'll, Jimmie" is the liveliest "dead duck" ever seen in this con- munity, and it will require more than the Commercial to make him a corpse. If Jimmie" is allowed to live until that blanket sheet can make him among the things that were, the likelihood is that he will live to be as old as Methuselah.
 It is gratifying to observe, how ever, that our esteemed contempo- rary has ceased to regard us as it's "rival. It is entirely to the credit of it's good sense and judgment that the Commercial has at last recog- nized the fact that the GRAPHIC has so far surpassed it thatit has ceased to be rival ,
 As for that fhowitzer, it has wasted so much ammunition in the past in an intellectual sort of way that the manipulation Of the machine has at last come to full realization of the futility of his efforts. And then. too, it has exploded so often without doing harm or hurt to any body that it's periodical explosions have come to be regarded with DC more attention in this community than the Christmas pop of an ordi- nary cheap. two- packs-for -nickle fire cracker. See?

THE Fort Smith Democrat says it is opposed to Senator Jones because the '.gold bug" newspapers of the State are in favor of him. Has the editor of the Democrat observed that the Helena World and Little Rock Press, both gold buzz newspapers, are supporting Clarke while only two so-ealled "gold bug"newspapers are supporting Jones? From this it seems that honors are about even between Clarke and Jones among the so-called 'gold bug" newspapers.

THE Little Rock Press says that Senator J. K. Jones is one of the "great unknowns" of the United States Senate, In tbis statement the editor of the Press shows woe ful lack of knowledge of recent and current political history. Senator Jones on the 9th of the present month delivered a speech in the Senate on his financial bill, synop- sis of which was published in these columns a few days ago, and of Sen ator Jones speech we observe that the Associated Press said:
 The galleries were crowded and every seat in the chamber was filled today when Senator James K. Jones opened the debate on the finance committees substitute for the House bond bill
 Ex-Speaker Crisp and other prom inent Congressmen were close listen CTS. Upon the conclusion of his remarks Senator Jones was generally congratulated by his fel- low Senators and the Congressmen present.
 It is rather a remarkable fact that the utterances of a great unknown could attract such attention in Washington. Washington people do not flock to the galleries, or Con- gressmen to the floor of the Senate, or the leaders of the Senate on either side of the House surround the speaker, to listen to the speech of a great unknown. The fact is that Senator Jones is one of the most famous men in the Senate of the United States today and stacks up with such men as German, Voor- hees, Harris, Mills and other famous Democratic leaders. On the occa- sion above alluded to, after the con- clusion of his speech, Senator Jones was surrounded oy such men as Hill, Smith, Lindsey, Villas, Gray, German, Voorhees and others who heartily congratulated him on his able and magnificent effort. The editor of the Press has also doubtless for gotten that when the Wilson tariff bill was before the Senate during the last Congress, Senator Jones patched up all differences on that measure and brought about com promise by and through which only the passage of the bill could be se- cured.
 A great unknown could not have accomplished so great an achieve ment, and for which Nation, grown restive under tariff monopoly and oppression, owes a lasting debt of gratitude. His splendid work in

In Memory of Mrs. Nettle Pitts Andrews.

In Memory Of Mrs. Nettle Fltts Andrew Just as the sun proclaimed the dawn Of eeld and misty day, She meeRly folded her hands and smiled, Then quietly passed away. We watched her strength each hour grow les Her briehtning eye and cheek; We saw her life-sands waste away,
 Unnumbered, slowly, meek. We met her smile of tenderness
 And marked the lahored breath The feeble pulse and waning strength The messenger of Death. Then filed with beavenward trust
 We saw her close her tired eyes, As the Saviour bore her swiftly
 To her mansion in the skies A loving. faithful wife is gone;
 A mother, patient sweet. Ever soothing all nhe cares to rest
 That shared her uhldren,s feet; A tender, thoughtful daughter;
 And to all sincere and true; A gentle voice that spoke to bless,
 A willing hand to do Thy will. o Christ not ours be done,
 We say it, tho tis hard. We feel we can not spare her,
 But we gave her up to God. And though we grieye to lose her,
 Her death we can't deplore; For we know she crossed the portals That the Saviour trod before.
