BERiNG SEA CLAIMS
Lengthy Argument Over Motion to
Strike Out Two of Them,

Nictoria. b. c., Nov. 29.-At yesterdays
sitting of the Bering Sea Claims Commits
sion, counsel for the United States moved
to strike QUO two OF the claims filed by
the British side on the ground that they
did not come within the terms of the CON
renlon. which had resulted in the formation
of the present commission. not having been
Included in the summary of claims referred
to the Paris tribunal.
Thesc claims were that of the schooner
Black Diamond for 81 800 for loss arising
from her being ordered out of Bering Sea
In 1856, and the personal claim of Cant.
James GaudIn, of the British marine ser
vice, for $4,000 expenses incurred in CON-
nection with the seizure of the schooner
Aida.
Both claims. the British counsel insisted.
Were among those which should properly be
dealt with, and correspondence regarding
them clearly showed that it was contem-
plated To include both.
The argument WIS continued at some
length and the decision was reserved.

to get on the last car, Just as Ii was pulling

pital. DR.. West sewed up the cut in his
face, and after being baudaged the man

yesterday between Edward Clinking and J..
Lewis, neighbors. residing on Ninth street
northeast, near E. Mr.. Lewis is not an
ardent admirer Of dog flesh, and when
Clinliing's nondescript specimen bothered
him he didn't do a thing to the dog.
Clinking called his neighbor. a cruel brute
or words to that effect, and suggested
the need of good thrashing. The dis.
cussion had become a neighborhood af.

an anomaly, the

has been unfit for any outdoor exercises;
the second, because the first and, there
fore, the most important eventof this kind
occurred nearly two months later Wash
ington was inaugurated as President of the
United States on the thirtieth day Of
April. There was no sense in changing
the date, for on the last day of April
spring-like weather prevails in his region,
and there is no danger of a case Of
pneumonia being the result of exposure to
the air, as has happened too often since
Inauguration takes place on the fourth day
of March, when, as a rule, the rawest of
raw winds blow and the weather is in
every way unpropitious. BY parity of
reasoning, therefore, there would be cmi-
nent good sense in returning to the last
day of April, on account of its being both
more pleasant and more correct historically.
Several times attempts have been made in
Congress to change the date. and it GER
tainly would be a commendable act that
would transfer the ceremonies to the season
of spring.
AT The same time law should be passed
fixing the date of the first meeting OF n
new Congress upon Il date as near as
possible to that of the Inauguration.
There is neither rhyme nor reason in a
legislative body not convening until thir-
teen months after the election at which
its constituent members obtained the peu-
pies mandate. At every Congressional
election some important question of gov
ernment is passed upon by the people, and
it is absurd that more than a year should
pass by before the body to whom the com
mission has been given to legisate in
conformity to the popular will, assemblies
and proceeds 10 do the peoples biddin.

A friend asked US this morning: What
right had Great Britain to batter down
and burn the palace of the sultan of Fan
zibar yesterday morningf Precisely the
same right that John L. Sullivan had, a
few years ago, when he wore the belt as
the champion pugilist of the world, to
knock down and brutally abuse a boy in
Kansas City. Precisely the same right
that any other bully has to assault and
beat one of inferior strength. Precisely
the right that Great Britain has always
exercised in dealing with weaker powers
the right made right by might!

LABOR IS ALERT.

The sturdy sons of toll all over the
land are thoroughly aroused over the
great question involved in the pending
campaign. The laboring men in New
Mexico have fully grasped the situation,
and that they possess the courage of their
convictions goes without saying. We
present herewith an illustration in the
shape of circular which reached the
New MEXICAN Office last evening:
To the Men of Gallup and Vicinity, Greeting:
In order to show our sympathy, pub
licly as we'll as privately, with our fellow
men who are now struggling throughout
the states for the cause of independent
free coinage of silver, as well as to free
themselves from the grasp of organized
greed and corporate tyranny, and to show
that we appreciate the heroism of their
struggle for the whole people, let us seek
to encourage them.
For this purpose, all the friends of sill
yer and the peoples cause, without re-
gard to former party affiliations, are re-
cuested to be present at meeting to be
held on Saturday evening, August 20,
1896, in the Maxwell building (under the
X. p. hall), the meeting to commence at
1880, when it is intended to organize the
strongest political club that this town
has ever known, to be called "The Bryan
Independent Free Coinage Club of
Gallup"
Remember that in this struggle we are
not backed by the Rockefellers, Hunting
tons, Pullmans, Carnegies or the heads of
great wealthy corporations who are led
on by that arch-enemy of labor and labor

Our campaign expenses come alone

who has just been nominated d the Re-

his friends we're doubtless as much sur
prised as anybody when it was found that
he had beaten for the nomination such

but as to the nominee. MIR. Black is q
journalist and lawyer of ability, and at
present is member of congress from
Troy. He is, however, more than likely
to fall victim to the intense strife now
engaging the New York Republicans, and
with such man as Gaynor or Sulzer it is
freely prophesied that New York will go
Democratic this fall in spite of the in
fuence of the spectators and money
sharks on Wall street.

PRESS COMMENT.
Accomplished by stealth.

Schuyler Colfax will be accepted as
pretty good Republican authority on acts
of congress in 1873. He is on record as
saying that the denomination of silver in
that year was accomplished by stealth.
In letter published over his own sigma
ture in the Chicago Advance of Novem-
Der 30, 1877, he wrote:
"The demonstration act, therefore,
was passed not at all responsive to any
demand or desire or petition of the peo-
pie, and was SO ingeniously concealed in
the coinage act that neither the president
who signed it nor tho president who has
to execute it, if not repealed, knew what
had been done until long after it had
gone into effect"
And an eminent Indianan once re-
marked, "that's the Gods truth of the
whole business.". -Las Vegas Optic.

SAYS THE TAX IS VALID
Judge Coffey's Decision in the
Suit of the Stanford
Heirs.
The Law Is Not Unjust, Nor Does It
Discriminate Unduly Be.
tween LegateeS.

Judge Coffey has decided that the col
lateral heirs to the Stanford estate must
pay the inheritance tax. 1t was contended
that the law was unconstitutional, but
Judge Coffey has declared otherwise. His
decision is upon the lines of similar one
rendered in the litigation of the estate Of
]. Clute Wilmerding.
The tax due from the Stanford heirs is
$237 500. 1t was contendsd that the law
was discriminating, in that it taxed cer-
tain heirs and passed over others. and also
in that it made the court the collector of
the tax, when the constitution requires all
taxes to be collected by the Tax Collector.
Judge Coffey sets aside both these con-
tentions, for he saw nothing in the consti-
tuition which forbids the tax. Continuing
in regard to the tax itself he says:
"The in hetritance tax in general may be
regarded as limitation OF inheritance,
especially between collateral relations, but
it may be sufficiently well justified from
the standpoint of pure finance. 1t accords
as well as any other one tax with the
principle of ability, and it serves as a sue
cessfui aG Gjunct to other taxes in bringing
about justice in the fiscal system as q
whole. It should be added that it is thor
oughly practicable; it is difficult to evade.
and large amounts Of revenue are obtained
from it without any perceptibe disturb
ance of industry. No tax is less oppressive
or paid with less unwillingness. No tax is
better adapted to replace the antiquated
person al property tax"
