Ell PASO. Tex, Feb. 10.-There have been
lively times to-day between Dan Stuart,

hacker, J. j. Quinn, came down from Las

has to make. He asked the men, because
there were so few people here, to agree to
take only the 5000 now up in case the fight
did not come off instead of demanding the
full $4,000. Julian was the first to kick.
Buck" Connell, for Maher. was at first
inclined TO let Stuart have his way, but
the conference broke up with all hands In
an ugly mood, and the question as to what
the fighters would get were they not to
fight remained unsettled. Later in the day
Stuart notified the managers of the men
he withdrew his request, and the full &c.,
600 would be divided between them whether
Another squabble has come up which
threatens to break up the whole business.
Julian this afternoon met L.. Rector the
kaleidoscope representative here. and asked
him If he expected to photograph the fight
Rector admitted he did Then Julian said :
II will not allow Fitzsimmons to appear
in the ring. nor will he appear unless the
company gives US $4,000 in cash"
II have nothing to do with you" replied
Rector. My business is with Stuart. Go
to him.
1T makes no difference who you have
business with, retorted Julian. II tell you,
who are representing the kaleidoscope that
Fitz will no. enter the ring and permit the
company 10 photograph his fighting unless
he receives $4,000 in cash and gets it before
he enters the ring"
II stunned Stuart when Rector told of it.
and made him mad he was on the point
of calling everything off. He hunted up
JNian and had a long conversation with
him. What the outcome was is not known,
but IL Is believed Julian was induced to re-
consider his demands. He ard F'itz re-

How the Africans Might Double Their
Cattle and Goods.

How the Africans Might Double Their
Cattle and Goods.
In some South African tribes the use
OF money IS unknown, and trade is
carried on by The primitive method of
swapping cattle or grain for calico,
guns, ETC. But although they have
no money, these people have n system
OF keeping accounts by cutting notehcs
on stick, 50 that when n trader buys
cattle for which he cannot pay when
they are delivered he gives thc seller a
piece of wood with as many notches
as there were head OF cattle. These
sticks a. afterward redeemed in cloth.
guns or rum, according to the wishes
of the cattle raiser. and thus serve as
u 'medium for exchanging goods.
Were the schemes of the free silver
and fiat money advocates of this coun-
try TO lie adopted in Africa there would
be an easy way for Increasing the
wealth of the people. We are constant
~ told by tho cheap-moncy orators that
under free coinage everybody would be
twice as rich as he is now, and that
doubling the country's money would
double its wealth. If this were true,
all that would be necessary In Africa
would be the cutting of great many
moro notched sticks, when there would
be twice Us much grain, cioth, etc, ana
twice as many cattle as there are now
OF course the American silyerite will
say that such n proposition is ridicu-
ious. 1t is. But ii is just as sound and
logical as the idea that the people Of
the United States would be richer II
they stamped "One Dollar" on a lot of
pieces of silver worth only so cents.
Anyone who can understand that by
cutting notches to represent cattle
would not make more cattle should be
able TO see through the claim that
doubling the means by which wealth is
measured and exchanged would in
crease the total quantity Of wealth.

The Masonic brotherhood.
Respectfully,
A. j. MAY.
Commander.

The following incident, illustrating
Masonic brotherhood, we take from
All Grafton delivered by Brother
Thos +. Garrett, at the recent open
lug of the new hall at st. Louis:
Much is said and surmised about
the peculiar nature of our ties of
brotherhood, which to the world, APP
pears so mysterious, so enduring, so
strong. To many the universally
and binding force is inconceivable.
They canrot be fully explained ex
cept in the secreat recesses of the
lodge; but 1 may be permitted to
give single illustration of the trus
spirit of Masonic brotherhood which
came under my personal notice not
long ago. Two men had been fast
friends. In an evil hour they quar-
relied, and from violent words they
came to dagger's points, but used no
daggers. They did not speak and
had not spoken for years-mutual
friends had tried the art of recoucili-
alton in vain. They were avowed
enemies for life.
The whole difficulty was purely
personal, and the honor of neither
was impeached either by the origin
OF the quarrel or subsequent circum-
stances. Probably they were equally
to blame; one of them became Ma
son after the enlargement, and it
happened the other remained ignor
ant Of it, One evening, he too, was
admitted to the lodge. Almost the
first voice he heard, and certainly
the first face he saw, was that OF his
enemy, who presided over the eere
monies Of initiation, and was obliged,
according to usage, to address him
by the tile Of "brother." This was
Il most peculiar situation, aud a se-
we're ordeal for both.
After the lodge was closed the APP
prentice sought his quondam friend,
the Master of the lodge. aud without
any preliminaries, the following col
loquy ensned, commenced by the
newly-made Mason:

a Grand Future for Masonry.

We regard the future of Masonry
with greater interest that the past,
though yielding to none our pride of
MaSonry's history. There never was

Masonry stood higher, meant more
or was truer to its mission than the
present, and yet we forosee that the
future has greater triumphs in store.
Never before was Sc much able tai
ent, consecrated energy and wealth
of resources enlisted in it's service.
As it shows the disposition aud &C
quires the experience and reputation
for the wise dispensation of charity,
the means will surely be provided to
carry on It's work. Some charge Ma
sorry with being little more than
an expansion of selhshness; that our
charities are confined to our own
membership. While there may be
some color of truth for this charge,
1t Is still general truth hat charity
expands the heart and oyerfiows to
wards all with whom we come i'm
contact. Charity under any name
and form is a spark from the heaven

image in which We were created. Ma

among men of every race aud country
Is sure Of Coils blessing aud will be

Spectator Ought to Know.

The most talked of incident con
nocted with yesterdays proceedings
of the Republican convention is the
Missing of the mention OF the name
Of S.onewali Jackson. II is tru-
that these bisaes were uttered by re.
groe~, but they occurred in con.
ven'inn over which presided Gener.

Jackson in the command of the bfi
SaAe which bore the latter's name

We must correct, as far as can.
this accusation against the negroes
In that convention. They did not do
the Missing complained of; there
were none Of them in that quarter
and TO their credit. be it said, they
were dcceut. orderly, and well be
haved throughout. They are accused
of enough things Of which they are
not guilty, and, therefore. we feel il
onr dH.y to set the public right as
to this. The negroes dill not hiss
the name OF Stouewall Juckson.-
Spectator.
Why could not the Spectator say
that the name of Stonowall Jackson
was not Missed ut all?-The Saun
ton Daily Times.
l. Because Mr. james = Frazier
who was spec king, aud made the &C
eusation, saw the party who Kissed
and was best able to judge as to
whether Jacksou's name was Kissed
SIR, Frazier said it was, aud would
not retract the accusation, even when
friends assisted on his doing so. We
heard them beg him to do so.
: Because the party accused o. his
sing the name of Stonewall jackson
did not rise in his place aud deny it,
nor did any enc else deny it for him.
nor was there any one who attempt
ell to deny it for any person, or on
behalf of the delegates as body.
3. Because hal not the conve,
tIOn been satisfied Mr.. Frazier's
charge was a correct one, somebody
would have arisen then and there
and denied the accusation. But the
lasted nearly two days If
terward and all was silence on this
question.
4. Because there was kissing. and
a public accusation was made that
the Kissing was intended for tue
name of Stonewall Jackson. and no
body denied it when made, and be
lug no party b. the transaction, we
do not feel called on to deny it for
them, since they would not deny it
themselves.
These are some of the reasons
why Tia Spectator could not say the
name of Stonewall Jackson was not
missed. If amy further ones are de
sired they will gladly be furnished
