IMPORTANT ISSUES INVOLVED
In a Series of Suits just Begun at Wichita,
Has.


WICHITA, Kas., Dec. 5. In the dis
trict court Thursday, the AngloAmer-
lean Land Mortgage and Agency Co.,
an English corporation, which owns q
great deal of Lombard securities, be-
gun suit against the Lombard Invest
ment Co., of Kansas City, for $500, 200.
The suit is the beginning of numerous
suits against eastern stockholders of
the latter company, and is attracting
much attention because of the impor-
tant issues involved. Eastern courts
have held that the double liability
which is imposed by the laws of this
state upon corporations and stockhold-
ers applies with equal force to corpo-
rations and stockholders outside of the
state. Both sides to the contest charge
fraud.

RAPINE AND MURDER.
WcyIer's Campaign of determination Un.
der Full Roadway.


CINCINNATI, Dec "A special to the
Commercial Tribune from Key West
says: From all reports from Madrid,
near where Weyler is now, the work
of destruction is being carried out
fully. The Spanish army sweeps eve
rything before it, killing beeves that
it can not use, burning cane fields and
small stores with their provisions and
leaving a white waste of ruin and des-
olation in its wake.
People vainly implore WeyIsr to
leave them provisions 10 keep them
alive, but his brutal officers refuse
with oaths and insulting words, if not
worse. Over 300 refugees have come
into Mariel since Weyler went out this
last time, all giving the same story of
rapine, plumber and murder by the
Spaniards.
A Spanish guerrilla captain named
Colzazo is accused of numbering over
100 persons in the valleys 100 miles
south of Mariel during the latter part
of November. In one instance he is
accused of con fining a number of wom-
en- and girls in q church, and after
they had been repeatedly abused and
maltreated by his men, burning the
building with them in it.

gents. The revenue cutters Morrill,,
Winona and Boutwell,, which are in
Florida waters, have been ordered to
keep a lookout for the Dauntless and

Expectation at a High Point.

HAVANA, Dec. 4-The expectation
of loyalists here is at a high point,
they wishing to hear of decisive de-
feat of the rebels in the province of
Pinar del Rio by the troops under COM
mand of Capt. Gen. Weyler. Since his
return to the front from Havana Gen.
Weyler has had no engagement with
the insurgents. In fact, the Spanish
scouts have not been able to locate the
enemy, and the position is not known
of single one of the rebel parties.
The last report received here stated
that Gen. Weyler and his forces were
encamped near Los Palacios.
The condition of Gen. Gonzalez Mu-
aoz, who recently returned to Havana
suffering with fever, has become
worse, and fears are entertained that
he will not recover.
Musket and Cannon Firing Heard-Ru-

| HAVANA, Dec 4.-Muslzetry and can
| non firing has been heard in the direc-

Vaja hos, about seven miles northwest
IF Artelisa, and in the rear of Gen.
| Neyler's forces. As yet no report has
reached here as to the occasion of the
firing, but it Is thought that detach-
menL of Spanish troops has met body
of insurgents who are detached from
| Maceo's command.
Gen. Weyler's ignorance of the
whereabouts of Maceo is remarked
apon here, and is giving rise to many
rumors. One report has it that he is
in the Rubi hills with small force,
while another report states that he
mas left the province of Pinar del Rio,
having abandoned his men and
crossed the trocha in disguise. All
these reports are based on nothing
but con lectures.

Benson's pedagogic methods some
times savored of the Turkish pasha.
He once caned boy until he confessed
what he had not done; and on another
occasion he, in defiance of the consti-
tuition of the school, logged a project
secretly. The matter got round to the
sixth form, and a round robin of re-
monstrance was sent. All that Benz
son said to the round robin was that il
ought to have been addressed to "the
master" instead of the "head MASTER"
but he never repeated the offense.
A culprit whom he threatened to ex-
pei whined out something about Ibis

pie, SIR" roared Benson; fare you a

fore the rite of confirmation the boys
always went to the masters lodge for

ask each boy what his besetting sin
was, and it came to be the fashion to
answer Temper, sir.n Once when the
sixth were stumbling sleepily over
their Virgin he got very excited, and
told them of the energy of the Bir-
mingham mechanics, while you, the

THE HOME PRODUCT.

From the Las Vegas Optic.
Governor L. Bradford Prince, in his
work on "the Money Problems or BIZ
metallism VS.. a Single Gold Stand
ard" but recently issued from the
press Of the Ogilvle publishing COM
pany, New York, does everlastingly
use up the Las Vegas convention and
its little side show of free coinage for
the American product. Not that he
mentioned the convention; for wheh
his book was published the conven-
tion had not convened, and conse-
quently had not industrlously used its
opportunity to write itself down an
ass. But the arguments delivered,
with the sledgehammer by the ex-goy-
ernor, against the puerility Of attempt
ing to coin only the home product,
are just as true and absolutely un-
answerable as though the Las Vegas
convention had never formulated such
plank and its "bralny and energetic
candidate had never accepted il.
He shows that free coinage of silver,
regardless of where produced, would
at once raise the price OF silver, all
over the world, to the full mintage
value, less the expense of getting the
bullion to an American mint. There
would be no excessive coinage, for the
bullion would have a fixed and stable
value, easily determined and constant
! ly maintained. But the coinage oil
only the American prodnct would mol
have such effect. Silver would still
be commodity in all the rest OF thC
world, and in America the scramble tC
secure its coinage would be indescrib
able. Just as now, uncolncd silver
would bear one price and coined silver
would bear another, and all the diff
culties OF our present position woulC
be maintained and intensified.
Then, too, the American minei
might be benefited by the free coinage
of the home silver product; but u
benefit farmers, mechanics, laborer
and manufacturers, the price Of silye
must be raised th) world over. Thi
can be accomplished only by the fre,
and unlimited coinage of silver, re
gardless of where produced, at tlxcC
and unvarying ratio.

sHooTlNa STARS.


Blaze and Darken.
The shooting star is an oddity of the
very oldest Kind. 1t is world cf itself
"a miniature planet probably not
largor than The pupier macho globe on
your study table or the rubber ball
with which tho schoolboys play "threo
cornered cat, +" but it is world just the
same These haby planets are not al
ways round, as planets are generally
supposed to be, but are known to be in
all sorts cf queer shapes. Some are
square, others octagonal; some irregu-
lar aud many cornered, while one is &C.

as Il brick or q cement paving stone.
Probably you have never heard of a
man (or woman either, for that matter)
meeting with shooting star in any
of his wanderings Let us see how such
a thing might be possible.
The shooting star is originally min
iature world, revolving around the sun
with as much regularity as the earth,
Jupiter. Venus or Mars. 1t keeps up
this unerring flight thousands or oven
millions of years. Finally it reaches the
limit Of its existence. Suddenly and
perhaps without any visible cause it
shoots off at tangent. 1t is now Il
9shooting star. " Formerly it was
world, but even now it is not bright as
other stars are Let us sec what will
cause it to "hamo up like gigantic
torch in the heavens. This particular
body that we are talking about shot off
from its orbit III the direction of our
earth. It's speed is not less than 20
miles n second, probably five times that.
In the great outer sea of space it en-
counters no resistance to its headlong
fight. But wait. 1t is nearing the en-
yelope Of atmosphere which surrounds
our globe What will be the result when
it comes i'll contact with 'the air we
broatho?" Tho first stratum it strikes
is so altenuated that its resistance is
very slight. Yet the friction is great
enough to instantly raise the tompera-
turo Of the falling world. Within the
hundrodth part Of a second the dense
stratum Of atmosphere has been encoun-
tered. The flight Of the little world is
now perCeptibly checked the result be-
ing a sudden firing of the mineral mat
tors in the stone. There is an instanta-
neous burst of light, and then we see
the doomed representative Of the minia-
ture planets in all its meteoric splendor.
Possibly the streak Of fire it leaves
athwart tho heavens will not appear to
be more than a few hundred feet long,
Certainly it will be thin and short il
the little world was not larger thar q

the denser portions of the atmosphere.
On the other hand, if this world which
has so suddenly como to an end was as

LOOK TO THE LEGISLATURE.

bOOh ~ I'LL nnQAb4IA L OhA'
From tho Albuquerque Democrat.
In the midst of the excitement Incl
dent to the presidential campaign the
people of New Mexico must not lose
sight Of the fact that we are to meet
this fall certain local issues of para
mount Importance.
Reform in our methods of county
governments is imperatively demanded.
Without it majority of the counties
of New Mexico will stand face to face
with inevitable bankruptcy.
Our expenses every year are far ia
excess of our income. We have pro-
vided for the deficiency from year to
year by the issue of bonds, thus weak
ening cur credit and increasing our
expenses, till we have passed the dan
ger line and in most counties have
reached the constitutional limit. We
have come to the end of our borrow
ing and we cannot increase our tax
levy for we are already up to the max
imum and the people of the territory
are unable to pay a heavier tax, even
if the law would permit it to be lev
led.
Many of the counties are so far be-
hind with their current obligations
that the vouchers" in which they pay
are not worth more than 40 cents on
the dollar. This doubles our expenses
in everything but fixed salaries, ard
thus drives the county faster and fast
er towards hopeless insolvency.
We must call a halt. We must
make radical reform in our fancy
pay rolls and come down to business
basis.
With the exception of two or three
minor positions, onr county officers
are paid larger salaries than would be
paid in the states to like officials in a
county with population as great as
that of the entire territory of New
Mexico. This is utterly at yarience
with all reason, justice or business
sense, and such a condition of things
should not be permitted to exist a
week after the meeting Of the next
Legislature.
A bill should be passed providing for
radical reform. 1t should not be a
mere Slight reduction, but should cut
deep. Some salaries could be reduced
to one-fourth the sum now paid, and
nearly all one half, and still give our
officials much better pay for their SER
vices than the most of them could get
in any other line OF business, and more
than vast majority of our people arc
now receiving. And the new sched
ule should take effect at once. If il
is to be postponed for two years it, i;
not worth while to take any action il
the matter at all, for parties interest
ed will be sure to have lobby OF
hand at the next session sufficient!
strong to secure a repeal. We have
tried that plan twice, and it has beer
J fat failure both times.
! We have got to the point now wher
we can't afford to temporize with tn
matter any longer, and the local cam
palgn in every county should be Tough
. strictly on that issue, thus giving fai
notice to candidates of what it is in
tended to do.
This is a phase of the "money qnes
tion" that comes home to all of US an
both parties should see to it that onl
such men are put on their legislativ
tickets as will stand incorporating
ly for radical reform.
