ent campaign in the United States. The
poor peon has been so horribly pic
tured and so pitifully described that he
would find it difficult to establish his
identity.
1T must be borne in mind that all
the common laborers of Mexico are In
dians. This is also true of even a
large majority Of mechanics and work
ing people of higher class. But no
matter what their race or descent, they
are all self-suppOrting, and none are
idle who are willing to work.
when the amount of labor per-
formed is taken into consideration, the
Mexican is as well paid as the Ameri-
can. l think 1t was at the battle Of
Buena Vista that General Taylor put
to rout about four times the number
Of men under his command in that en-
gagement. The Mexican works about
as he fought at that time. His wages
are, however. ample to satisfy his sim
pie needs. With his frugal habits and
plain tastes and the cheapness of the
food products he consumes, he is just
as well provided for as the toilers be-
yond the Northern border. Whether
he lives on the Northern mountain

II can imagine some of the enforced
idle working men at home who depend
upon such unfriendly sources Of infor-
nation as Mr.. McKinley's literary bu'

A NEW JAIL BUILDING.
PLANS FOR ANNEX TO BE BUILT
IN TIE WEST JAIL YARD.

On account Of another rush Of busi-
ness with poll taxables to-day the
Levy Court had TO take the hours be-
tween u and o'clock for its meeting.
All the commissioners were present
The pay-roll was approved and a num-
ber of bills from the Fifth district were
ordered paid.
Jail Commissioner John T. Stoops
and Architect r. r. Carswell appeared
before the court i'm response to sum-
monses, with two preliminary drawings
for a new building at New Castle jail
TO be used as the kitchen. One plan
was to erect a one-story annex in the
west yard; another was 10 build a two
story separate building in the east
yard. near where the post and pillory
now stand.
The west yard annex seemed TO be
the favorite. IL was 14x16 feet This
plan was recommended by Commits
sioner Stoops, because IL would not
only give three or four more cells, but
would provide an entirely separate
place for the cooking, easily accessible
and so built that all the odor OF cook
ing would be carried OF.
Commissioner White considered the
east yard project Of no account for,
while it would provide much more
room and could be used for all the
Municipal Court colored prisoners di-
rectly adjoining the stone pile. yet It
would not do away with the sickening
smell OF cooking. The Jail physicians
had reported that the smell should De
carried off. as there is danger OF il
breeding typhoid In the crowded
prison.
The plans were submitted to Com
missioner White for investigation and
further consideration, and he viii re-
port at the next meeting upon the ex-
pediency of the west yard building,
when bids will at once be advertised

THEY SAY IT'S A FAKE.
F. Blumenthal & Co., Have
Signed No Agreement.
TRUST IS CERTAINLY PROPOSED
BUT IT IS UNLIKELY THAT #.
BLUMENTHAL & co. WILL BE A
PARTY TO -IT-THEY WOULD BE
FORMIDABLE COMPETITORS.


On Saturday morning last the New
York Morning Journal published a.
story about the proposed leather trust
in which IL was stated that Il. Blumen-
thai a Co had signed an agreement
with the promoters of the trust. which,
however, was to be void case of the
election OF William Jennil8s Bryan.
The real facts of the proposed trust
are entirely different. AS n matter of
fact, no trust has as yet been formed.
though number of capitalists have
such an end in view. The interview
with Peter J. Ford published in yes
terday's Evening Journal gives the es-
sential points about the proposed
scheme correctly.
f. Blumenthal & Co. have given out
this statement about the publication
in the New York Journal:
THE article appearing in the New
York Journal under the heading Huge
Trust in the Shoe-Leather Trade" is
as far as we know. made out of the
whole cloth. The statement appearing
in the article that we had signed a
trust agreement. which was to be null
and void in case of the election of VIII
/ liam Jennings Bryan to the presidency
] III lue lbtlhtNmlub tietllons Is dunO-
/ lutely false. We have signed no agree
ment with any manufacturers of lea
ther of any kind whatever. We have
not entered into any agreement of any
kind for a consolidation OF our busi-
ness with that OF any other leather
manufacturers in any shape or form.
furthermore, the intimatiOn that
Mr.. Blumenthal is in Europe to meet
Mr.. Dennis regarding his patents and
joining the alleged trust is likewise
equally untrue, as Mr.. Bumenthal does
not know Mr.. Dennis and in all prob
ability has never seen him. and is in
Europe for an entirely different pur
pose"
From the tenor OF the statement
may be concluded that the Blumentha
b company would not sell out it's plant
= i'm which case the trust would have
formidable competitor, as the plant o
the company is one of the largest il
the country. having a capacity Of 80
T dozens of skins daily, and usually EN-
, ploying about 1000 hands. The com
s pany imports directly all the skins
, tans and has the advantage of care
d ful European selection, Mr.. Blumen
thai visiting Europe every year.
