THE RAILROADS.
Attractive Advertisi1g.

The San Antonio & Arsnsss Pass Rail- way, with a view of attracting attention to the coast country of Tsxss, hes had Q number of large tarpon mounted at the Pass by Mr. Farley. The fish arc quite attractive and appear as natural e when taken from the water. They are now in toe hands of Superintendent G.. w. Butcher at tho compsny's shops, whsrs they are being remounted ou bapdsome boards with elegant moulding prior to their shipment to Northern cities.
 The hsh will be placed in prominent ticket city offices ID Chicago, Dsnvss. St. Louie, Ksnsss City, Washington and Few York. Each agent will be supplied with tarpon scales and sdvertisipR mat. ter relative to Southern Texas coeat re. sorts reached by the San Antonio & Ar. ansas Psss Railway.
 Thn following is list of the tarpon co mounted, their weight, and by whom caught, and no doubt each gentleman will take great pains in baviug their friends take look at the bear ties:
 Jssob Sanders. Denver, caught Oct. 6, lS96; weight. 165 pounds.
 Bsn Hecey. facson, caught Oct. 20; weight, 147 pounds, 5 ft. II in.
 Jake Sutherland, Chicago, caught Oct 10; weight 130 pounds.

 It is the intention of the railway con- psny to add yearly to the number of tar poo % that every prominent city in the country will know of the wonderful fsh- iug on the Texas coast.

SIMPLICITY.

THE New York Times is trying to
 make people believe that the inaugurs-
 ton of Jefferson was conspicuous for its
 simplicity: and bitterly bewails Hanns's
 announcement that McKinley's insugur
 ation will be the grHndest affair of the
 kind in American history. The Times eays 'it is vainglorious and sadly out of taste" It strongly advises @ return to the simplicity extant on such occasions in the time of Jefferson. Evidently the Times library does not contain a copy of the Aurora" of March II. 1901, or Its ideas of matters in this direction would undergo somewhat of 8 change. h. stead of tying his hobby to the fence and walking up to be sworn, as the Times seems to believe, the "Aurora," in its account of the proceedings says:
 "At an early hour on Wednesday. March 4th, the CitJ of Washington pre- sented spectacle of uncommon sni- nation. oocssioned by the addition to its usual population of large body of citizens from the adjacent districts. A discharge from the company of Wash ington artillery ushered ID the day, and about 10 o'clock the Alexandria con- pany of riflemen, with 8 company of artillery, psradsd in front of the presi- dents lodgings. At F o'clock Thomas Jefferson, attended by number of his fellow-citizsns, among whom were many members of congress, repaired to the capitol. His dress was, as usual, that of 8 plain citizen, without any distinc- tive badge of office. He entered the capitol under discharge from the ar tillery. As coon as he with drew discharge from the artillery wst made. The remainder of the day was devoted to purposes of festivity, and at night there was pretty general illumi- ostion."
 That's the kind of Jeffersopisn eimpli- city Mark Hanna wauts, with the only difference that 1896 is almost 100 years after 1901, with all its changes and progress.

THE session of the National Irrigation Congress which has just ended its labors in Phoenix, will be prolific of more good for Arizona than anything which has ever occurred ln the territory. Repre- sentatlvss from every section of the union were in attendance, and many of them had thsir eyes opened to Ariz- ona's resources in way they little dreamed of. Their impressions will be carried to their homes and liberally circulated among their neighbors. The result will be, anxious inquiries and 8 desire to know more of the glorious land of the west.

ANTONIO MACEO.

Antonio Maceo is one of the most da-;ng and picturesque of modern sol dIers. An atmosphere of romance sur rounds his history, and makes him 8 figure that appeals forcibly to the inn sginstion. He began his military career at 8 comparatively early sge, not from ctoice or in a regular way, bur under the pressure of cruel circum- stances and from sense of duty that was unavoidable. The home of his family was attscked and destroyed by the Spanish troops at the outbreak of the ten years war in Cuba, and his mother and sisters were shRmefusly treated. Then the father and all of his eleven sons except the youngest entered the insurgent army, with VOW never to lay dowp their arms until the island should be free. During that war the father and nine of the sons were killed. Antonio distinguished himself by reck- less bravery in battle. receiving no less than twenty-one severe wounds, and was promoted step by step to the rank of general. When the insurrection failed, and peace was signed, he refused to accept the situation, and retreated with his command to the mountains to con- tInue the fight. Finally he was induced to leave Cuba, and he made his way to West Point, where he acted as hostler and picked up such military knowledge ss he could. From there he went to Costa Rics, where he remained most of the time until the present war began. when he returned to his country and has borne a conspicuous part in the con- test.
 This gallant leader is mulatto, part negro and part Spanish. It does not appear that he ever had any education in the art of war except such as be secured by private study and practical experience, and yet he has more than once proved himself to be superior in strategy and in personal courage to the best of the Spanish commanders. He is above everything else a fighter, and belongs in qualities and methods to the old order of pslsdins, who won distinc- tion in hand-to-hand combats rather | than in the clash of armies. Is is his | delight to be always in the foreground of the fight, where there is the greatest peril and the best chance of individual prowess. The general judgment of military critics is that be is not as com- potent in all respects as Gomez, for example. but he is dashing and brilliant beyond all of his fellow-leaders, and the Cubans cherish special fondness for him.

IN the republican caucus committee,
 which recently met to consider the
 bimetsllic proposition, Senator Wolcott,
 of Colorado, chairman of the committee,
 sad:
 "The senate Republican coacus com-
 mittee to report Legislation in further
 snce of the international bimetSllc con- ference had full meeting to-day, and the question was discussed at some length. The subject was chiefly con- sidered with view to securing the wid- est possible latitude to commission and so framing Legislation that the in- coming President would be at liberty to act immediately upon his inauguration, and without waiting further legislative action. There were thousands of re- publicans in the West who were in &C., cord with so much of the Chicago plat form ss stood for the free coinage of silver. but who were unable to accept the other blanks of the platform. There were also in the Middle States hun dreds of thousands of republicans, ear nest bimetslIists. who voted the republi- can ticket because they believed the financial plank in the St. Louis plat form to be sacred promise committing the party to sn earnest effort to secure international bimetallism.
 "Se fer as I can observe, the senti- ment is practically unanimous among republican senators in favor of an ear- nest effort toward international agree ment. do not anticipate any serious trouble in the way of securing such | legislation as has been outlined, and | which will prepare the way for this effort. So far as I can learn, there is no | opposition on the part of either demo- crsts or populists to such legislation as has been outlined, for think 1t may be truthfully said that go per cent of the people of this country are bimetallists, and even those who believe this country can alone maintain the double standard have no sort of objection to the same result being accomplished by interns- tionsl agreement, If it shall be pass- ed"

Patriotic League of America is not ee- cret organization, having for its aim 8
 few special purposes, but it is organized
 to renew the old sentiment that animst-
 ed our ancestors to combat tyranny and
 strive for manly independence and self government. It has DO restrictions. Any
 American can belong to it, no matter
 what may be his creed or color. Its
 doors are wide open to every American
 and its chief object is to incite all citl-
 zens of this Republic with the patriotic
 spirit that appears to have been suOor-
 dinated to commercial zeal and the pur
 suit of the elusive dollar.
 The address speaks in DO equivocal
 terms on the Cuban exigency. It de- clares that the intervention of this na- tion at once is imperative, and that
 "the eagle and the shield" shall panoply
 the island, putting a stop to further carnage in the interests of humanity, if nothing more. The address points out the indignities subjected to American citizens while abroad, and discloses the humility of American citizens seeking protection from British consuls in foreign countries, owing to the weakness and inefficiepcy of our diplomatic force. It accentustes the subservient and almost servile attitude of this country to England and other countries in many complications, and with unmeasured terms stigmatizes this conduct as un- worthy of great nation. Perhaps the most startling part of the entire sd- dress is the advice to cease making any further efforts towards general srbl- trstion treaty with Great Britain until that country dismsntles all the fortifcs- tions along the Canadian frontier. The address goes on to state these fortifica- tions are of recent construction and are intended for no other purpose than menace and 8 threat to this country. The address says that haste to be at peace with the world is sometimes made at the expense of honor. It advocates protection to American products and the immediate construction of the Nicsrsgusn canal, the promotion of the merchant marine and the incorporation of adjacent islands and territory in the United States, and to make the Amer can flag respected throughoutthe world. This is not jingoism, but 8 true state nent of broad Americsnism. May the | society grow like green bay tree.

THE Cameron resolution on the Cuban question was adopted by the senate con- mittee on foreign affairs yesterday, and will be reported to the senate, at once. There is 10 doubt that this resolution comes a great deal nearer the views of the people of the United States than anything the president has had to say on the subject. Recognition of the Cubsns as belligrrents, by the United States, will give the insurgents many advantages of which they are deprived at present and to which they are justly entitled.

MANY complaints are being made by nearly every paper in the territory thht

The Weary Wsggles and Lone- some Lons are exhibiting spirit of in sulting bravado toward unprotected ladies which may result very seriously to some of the fraternity if they do not chop on their system. Any man who is willing to work should undoubtedly have the opportunity to obtaln food.
