A NASTY RECORD.
How Delegate CatrOn's Congressional
Record is Viewed by Outside
People.
The Denver News prints in Thursdays

The Denver News prints in Thursday 3
issue the following editorial:
TURN DOWN CATRON.
The people of New Mexico owe it to
themselves, and to the reputation of their
territory, to defeat Tom Catron as dele
gate to congress. One term of his SER
vices ought to be quite sufficient. During
the single session in which he sat in con-
gress he brought wealth of odium on
himself and on the name of New Mexico
from which it will not recover for years.
To great national body he brought the
small tricks of territorial legislature,
and the natural result was that he soon
made for himself reputation anything
but enviable.
One of his tricks was an attempt to in
troduce political Legislation into an ap-
preparation bill, and secure change in
the manner of organizing the territorial
legislature of New Mexico. He did sue
coed in sneaking it through the house and
with the aid of his old partner and CO.
laborer, Senator Elkins, anticipated clear
sailing in the senate. But Senator Hill
ex posed the job and Mr.. Catron's scheme
of controlling the New Mexico legislature
by means of an act of congress came to
grief.
Another of Mr.. Catron's legislative at
tempts was to validate fraudulent bonds
to the amount of $522,oO0 and force their
payment from Grant and Santa Fe coun-
ties. These bonds are SO evidently fraud
ulent that they can not be collected in the
courts and Mr.. Catron, in the interest OF
his clients, and in total disregard of the
welfare and wishes of the taxpayers of
the counties named, attempted to legalize
them by an act of congress. He failed
again in deceiving congress, but he did
demonstrate that he was in congress
merely to look after his personal interests
and without regard to the interests of the
people he represented.
This record is now before the people Of
New Mexico and added to his subservient
support Of Mckinley and the gold stand
ard platform is practically certain to &C.
compllsh his defeat. The silver men and
taxpayers and all the better political
element of the territory are arrayed
against him and with so excellent and
able candidate as Hon. H. B. Ferguson,
of Albuquerque, there is every reason te
believe that Catron will be turned down
by the people he has so glaringly misrep-
resented.

ALL-HALLON ZEN SPORTS.
some Of the Funny Games Which
Little Folks May Play Tonight.

The first autumn holiday after school
has fairly begun is Halloween, or All
Hallows Eve, the eve of All Saints Day,
November 1. All sorts of games and
amusements are tried on this mystic day,
and in olden times these we're supposed
to foretell future events. OF course we
do not believe in such things nowadays,
but the sport remains just as entertain
ing.
Most of the tricks relate to the future
husband or wife of the person who tries
them, and part of the fun is the absurdity
of children's having any ideas about such
matters. Perhaps the greatest fun for
youngsters is bobbing for apples. A
tub of water is place on the floor, and in
turn the children reach over it's edge and
try to pick an apple out with their teeth.
They are such slippery things that they
are very difficult to get at. Some times
a penny is placed in one, and this prize
is eagerly tried for. Or name is written
on the apple-as George, John, Grace, or
Helen-and the name on the apple which
you are successful IN getting out is sup
posed to be that of your future husband
or wife, according as you are girl or
boy. In this trick the boys and girls
must try in different tubs, or at different
times in the same tub, 80 as to have only
the girls names for the boys and the
boys names for the girls.
Another trick is to put on the table
thee bowie, one containing soapy water,
in another clear water, and in the third
nothing. Then the person is blind-folded
and the bowls are changed around in an
other order. The boy or girl comes up
to the table and puts out finger; if it
goes in the clear water his or her married
life will be happy, if in the soapy, q
widow or widower will be the wife or
husband, and if in the empty bowl there
will be no wedding at all.
Floating the needles is another way to
find out about the future, according to
Halloween mysteries. Each child takes
a creased needle and tries to sci it ahoat
in basin of water. It needs consider
able care to do this, and the behavior of
the needle after it is set atloat with all the
others is supposed to show what is going
to happen by and by. If one needle
rushes, as it often will, right to another,
it may be supposed that those two
needle owners are fond of each other.
Chewing the raisin is done by passing
a string through raisin and slipping the
raising along to the exact middle; then
two persons take each an end in his
mouth and begin to chew toward the
raisin. Whoever gets it first may eat it,
A nut or piece of apple is often used
instead of raisin. pretty trick is &C.
com plished with halves of walnut shells
used as boats. They are filed with melt
ed wax and provided with short end of
string for wick. When the wick is lighted
the little boat is launched in dish of
water, and the way the frail little craft
sails is supposed to show the future
career of it's owner. Sometimes, alas, it
promptly sinks, which is very ominous.
