 Mir. J. J. Crowley, supervising special agent of the treasury department, visited Nogales recently. One result of his visit will probably be the erection of gov ernmsnt sampline works there at the cost of not less than 10,000t A late ap- propriation by congress for the establish. ment of such works sets aside 45 COOS for three government works, one to be al El Paso. and the other two on the north. ern boundary. The act, though, pro. vides for the erection of other works, or rather for the erection Of additional ia. cil,ties for the collection of customs, the expense of such additional facilities to be paid for not out of the appropriation but out of the usual fixed fund for the maintenance Of the custom service. An average of four tons of ore daily pssses through the Nogsles port. It would be imprscticable to send it to Fl P4so for sampling and its value st Nogsles GUS tom house could be enly approximately determined with the existing facilities. = Metsllurgical Journal.

missed. By the terms of the compromise Monaghan & Murphy are to place deeds in escrow with the Crocker. Woolworth bank, of San Francisco, and upon the payment of 22,000s within twenty days the deeds are to be turned over. Bar ney has been turned down by the Marie Company and the directors who believe in dolng the fair thing sre in command. The properties in dispute are big, strong veins of gold bearing ore and although none have been developed to greater depth than forty feet they have produced many thousands of dollars. The new mill, just being put in, will operate on ores from this grpup of mines, and under the management of George H. Sanford grand success is sure to be made.

One of the meet ludicrous sights I ever saw was ID New Zs,lsnd few months ago, said a commercial man. Imagine a band containing hundreds of green sheep ell feeding of each others backs and getting fat Of course irquired abou. it and got an explanation ot the startling phenomenon. The sheep had been turned into stubble field from which 6 crop of wheat had just been taken. and the first thing they tackled was the straw stacks. They ate right into them, and what grain was left in the straw tumbled down into their wool. Th,n some warm rains came and the wheat sprouted and grew just as it does out of the wet gunny sack you see spread over beer kegs in this country to keep them cool But portable pastures were new to me.

A we'll grounded rumor comes to us that the suit of A s. Barney and Marie Mining Company against Monaghan and Murphy has been auncably settled. The suit grew out ot lease and bond gwen by Monaghan & Murphy, John Appel and Henry Brown to the Mare Mining Company on the Capital group of mines at Marie Camp. Barney, who represented the company was to pay 2 ,OO0$ for the mines and royalty of eighty five per cent on all bullion extract ed until the mines were paid for. The Monag han Murpby-Brown mill was ship. ped across the river and put up on the mines. Many thousand dollars was pro duced by the mill, but Barney failed to account for it to the lessors. After vainly trying to get settlement with Barney, Monaghan & Murphy caused his arrest at Needles about eight months ago. Out of lhls arrest grew the suit just com pro.

There Is nothing truer than the state. ment that history repeats itself. Let us hope that this truth will apply to great financial contests in the United States. We have had one since :he Union was formed, and we are now having second. The first one was when Andrew Jackson was president. Then the bankers and grea. sswspspers and ths corporations and wealth oi the country were arrsyed solidls on one side and the common peo' pie on the s.hsr. Then the great U. s
 bank and its breaches made the same boast that Wall Street makes now. They threatened to foreclose mortgages, call in loans and refuse accommodations to all who opposed government by the banks. Nearly every newspaper. then. as now, was owned or controlled by the bank and bankers. Every great newspaper pre- dicted an overwhelming defeat oi Jack son. When the votes were counted Jack son had more majority than Clay and Wirt, his opponents, had votes. He made almost clean sweep Of the coun' try. Then. as now, the opposition to bank and corporation and wealth control arose in the West, and was supposed to be confined to the Wsst, bat when cleo ton day came the common people of the East were found to stand with their Western brethren. Then, ss now, the money power was built up by the na' tionsl bank and It's branches. The bank and it's branches sprang into existence then as result oi the war of 1872, as our national banks spisng into existence as 6 resul. of the war of 1881.

No Pledges.

There has not been a president since Lincoln who did not enter the White House bound by certain pledges made by himself or by party managers with his consent. Johnson and Arthur are oi course not included, they having come to the presidential chair through the death of the regularly elected presidents.
 William Bryan will be an exception. His nominstion was won at Chicago not by skillful manipulation of managers or the dealing out of promises. put by the inspiration which seized the convention that In this crisis he was the man to lead to victory. Now ss the populist national convention is assembling, on whose action depends ths casting of some 10000 votes, Mir. Bryan declines to make any pledges save that he will ires, all of his supporters from whatever party they may come with equal fsirnsss and justice.
 This is a magnificent display of cour. age and manhood which will excite the admiration of the American people. It renders evident his appreciation of the high office for which he has been named, and that he proposes to win it not be. cauee of we'll distributed awards of pat. ronage in advance, but because of the confidence of the people in his judgment and ability and devotion to the cause he represents. Such man is new cres- tion in American politics, and may well inspire the confidence and enthusiasm oi the masses. It is time indeed that the republic had such man at the head oi its affairs, and now that the opportunity presents itself, there need be no iear but that the people will put him there. Den yer News.

REPAYMENT FOR SLAVES.
SwindliDg Scheme Designed to Reach
Guilible S~onfherners.

WASHINGTON. April 10, lSse,-Post-
master General Wilson today declared
that the UnitedS States Slave Owners
Registration Bureau of Washington, D.
G., was in violation of the postal regu-
lations and was not entitled to the privi-
leges of the mails.
This bureau was but recently i~ncorpor-
ated unde The laws of the District, and
the department made an investigation of
its method of business. 1t was ascer-
tanned that three of the incorporators of
the bureau gave Washington as their
residence, but none resided in the Dis
trict at the time of Incorporation. They
have just established offices here but be-
gan doing business in a sub-office in
Savannah, Ca, several weeks ago, by
sending out literature. The plan of the
bureau was to secure a record Of all
1865.
Instructions and blanks were sent out
to ex-slave holders, or their heirs, for
them to state the number of slaves owned
and their sex These blanks were to be
filled out by e~x-slave holders and re-
turned to the bureau with a fee of from
one to five dollars, the bureau promising
to have bills introduced in Congress look
ing to repayment sor slaves. The report
oe the Postohice Inspector is hat the
scheme is a fraud pure and simple.

MELVILLE TRAVIS GRAHAM,
Aged 4 years, 2 months.
Died April 10. 1896.


The casket was borne from the home
of his parents, opposite the church, by
four pall-bearers, three of whom We're
John, James and Peter Graham and Mr..
Alva Elliott. The church was crowded
to the doors long before the hour for the
services, and up the crowded middle aisle
the sorrowful procession moved; Direct
ly after the pall-bearers came the father
and mother of the dead boy, and after
these the immediate relatives of the FAM
lily. The casket was deposited on two
stools. A handsome piece of flowers from
the Bible Glass, of which little Melville
had been n of the brightest scholars,
beautiful pieces placed around the casket.
The Rev. David Mitchell opened the
services with a prayer, after which the
church. delivered a glowing tribute to
the little body lying in front OF him. He
spoke touchingly on the little fellows
which was the best. Mr.. Randolph said
hat all railroad engineers are given a
day of pest in order to rest themselves
be cool when the time of danger is at
hand. With the motormen, he said, it
was different. They are overworked and
nerves in and consequently the time when
they should be cool they are found want
ing.
feelingly on the mournful occasion and
the sorrow which had fallen on the fam
lily Of the dead lad. Mr.. Mitchell said he
did not believe the accident was the
work of God, as he did not believe He
was a butcher, nor did He mean the
young to be butchered in the brutal man
ner as the young life had been crushed
out of Melville Graham. No warning or
1premcnition, no time for preparation,
that was not the way God called His
children home.
The congregation sang the "Rock of
Ages" after which the infant class stood
in their pews and sang "All for Jesus.
1t was a most touching sight, these
young folk singing the lsst hymn in
which the voice of the little martyr had
throughout the church, and the relatives
of the little one. most noticeably his pa
rents. were almost heartbroken. After
the little ones had finished, the Rev. E.
Cronan pronounced the benediction. The
interment took place at New York Bay
Cemetery, a long line of carriages follow
ing the hearse to the last resting place.
