PRESS COMMENT.
Chaves County Republicans.

4 On the call for new business
Colonel Timoney introduced a non
partisan resolution in substance as fol-
lows:
Whereas, The recent message of Presi-
dent Cleveland on the Anglo Venezuela
controversy, in which he reaffirms the
policy of the United States to stand by
the Monroe doctrine, rises above partisan
politics and appeals to the patriotic SEN
timents of every true American, regard
less of party afiliation; therefore, be it
Resolved, That this league does most
heartily indorse the action of the presi-
dent and commends the present Repub-
lican congress for its promptness in pro-
viding ways and means for the appoint
ment of commission to investigate the
merits of the controversy.
Colonel Timoney, who, by the way, was
the only member of the league there pres
ent who had shouldered musket or be
held an enemy in line of battle, supple
mented his resolution with few we'll
chosen remarks, in which he said that be
did not anticipate any actual hostilitles
to result from the stand the president
and congress had taken; that for himself
he had had in the days long ago en- ough
of fighting; that this resolution was
intended as an earnest that when the
country called, there would be no
north, no south, no east, no west, but a
united band of brothers in the defense of
the country's cause and in sustaining the
country's honor. j. NJ. Miller promptly
seconded the motion to adopt the resolu-
tion and the fun commenced. Nathan Jaffa
moved to lay the resolution on the table,
and his m otion was hastily seconded by
j. K. Brown. G. H. Sparks, speak
ing to the motion to lay on the
table, urged the league not to be in
hurry; that the original motion had
been precipitated upon the body with
out warning, and that 1t would do no
harm to let 1t lie on the table until the
next meeting, when the league would
have time to consider it. Col. Timoney
arose and attempt to explain that the
resolution was plain in its purposes and
simple in its terms, but @. Fl. Sparks
raised the point of order that he had
already spoken to the resolution once,
and the point was promptly sustained by
the chair. On the call for question, the
chair ruled that the motion to lay on the
his authority from Reeds Parliamentary
Law aud called up the resolution. The
vote stood. ayes 4, nays IL. Mr.. Cleve-
land, congress and Col. Timoney were re-.
buked and the organized Republicans of
Chaves county smiled.
just at this juncture Secretary Reed
read letter from A. l.. Morrison, presi-
dent of the territorial league, in which he
congratulated the Republicans of Chaves
county for their loyalty to the cause and
for the glorious campaign they were wag-
ing in the cause Of political education: !:
for their undefiled loyalty and unwaver-
ing patriotism.-Roswell Record.

The Chaves county Republicans have
again cruelty turned down Col. Mob
Timoney. The colonel is stalwart, out
spoken Mckinley supporter, and it ap.
pears from this that the Reed factionists
have deliberately set about to bring him
and his friends into public disfavor. OF
course, it isn't our fight, but we make note
Of the fact merely in calling attention to
a most despicable piece of business which
is detailed in an extract reproduced else
where from the Roswell Record, and from
which II appears that the Republican
League Of Roswell is the only organiza-
tion outside Of New York and Boston that
disapproves the action Of the president,
the senate and house in the Venezuelan
affair.

The Albuquerque Citizen pathetically
appeals to Delegate Catron to repeal the
Edmunds law. The Citizen may have
some friends who are in trouble, but II
SO We may be permitted to suggest that
the best way to annul this rank piece OF
Republican legislation is to bring the
territory in as a state. If the Citizen
really means to do the fair thing it should
appeal 10 Delegate Catron to adopt q
reasonable apportionment and push the
state enabling act.

THE CATROh APP0RTIONMENI.

If Delegate Catron's statehood bill be-
comes law Grant county will have five
delegates in the constitutional conven-
tion.-Lordsburg Liberal.
Correct. And Valencia county will
have seven delegates. In other words, it
requires 354 voters in Grant county to
entitle her people to a seat in the con-
vention, while in Valencia county the
people are given one delegate for every
263 voters. How does this strike the
voters of Grant county, Possibly the
Lordsburg Liberal will enlighten us.

The Transvaal incident serious as it
really seems to be, comes at most op-
portuoe time for the Salisbury ministry.
Temporarily, at least, it distracts public
attention from Salisbury's pusillanimous

his awkward Venezuelan predicament

A Chicago Fire Legacy.

The books Of tie United States
treasury still carry an item of ST.
100000 which represents United
States notes which are supposed to
have been consumed in the great
Chicago fire Is years ago, says a cor
respondent of the New York Sun.
1t is known that there was 81, 000,.
900 of currency more or less in the
vaults of the subtreasury then and
that none of it was recovered, but
the denominations of those notes
and the exact amount are unknown,
as the books of the cashier were con-
sumed also.
There could not have been, how
ever, very many dollars less or very
many dollars more than $1,000, GOO,
and it would simplify the accounts
of the treasury and save great deal
of labor to the bookkeepers if con-
gress should pass a bill or resolution
recognizing the fact that this mon-
ey is no longer in existence, for ev-
cry day when the cashier of the
treasury balances his accounts be
has to include this item, deducting
it, or adding it as the case may be,
from the amount in hand. Itappears
upon every daily, weekly, monthly
and yearly statement of the assets
ard liabilities of the government as
unknown destroyed United States
notes, 81, 600. 600. !"

A Snake That Swallows Eggs.

The Hydraoi yeti is a native OF
South Africa, and, taken all around,
he is ouriousity in the reptile line,
Unlike the regulation snake, he has
no teeth in his mouth, but has full
set of grinders in his stomach !
These dental wonders grow from
the center of each vertebra. They
pass through the walls of the stom-
ach and are each crowned with
enamel. Hydraci is the champion
egg sucker, and the teeth in the
stomach appear to be natures pro-
vision for breaking the she'll of the
egg without running the risk Of los
ing the precious contents. When the
egg lands in the stomach and the
serpent's instinct tells it that every.
thing Is all right, the abdominal
walls contract and theegg is crushed
against the long row of vertebral
teeth. st. Louis Republic.

THELAST CAPTURED SLAVEF
Her Captain Said to Have Been Annge
on Bedloe's Island.

Her Captain Said to Have Been Hanged
on Bedloe's Island.
The only captain of slave vessel
who suffered the death penalty IN
America was captured by crew OF
which one of the members is now
citizen of Cleveland, the engineer OF
the Peoples Gaslight and Coke COM
pany.
"The slaveship was the Erie, and
it was the last American SLAYER cap
tured," said Mr.. Matthews in talk
ing about the historical event. "She
was taken of the mouth of the kon-
20 in the spring of 1861 by tho Unit
ed States sloop-of-war Mohican. l
was captain of the foretop and OF
the starboard watch. The capture
was accidental. The vessels dealing
in slaves would slip out in the inter-
walls between the patrol beats Of the
men-of-war, and they knew pretty
we'll our habits. But this time the
Mohican was delayed two days in
waiting for mail, and going from
the island of Fernandez we sighted
a vessel making from the mouth OF
the Kongo. We were flying a French
flag, and the stranger foated an
American flag. We signaled for her
to heave to, but this request not be-
ing regarded shot was fred. Then
she hove to without offering re-
sistanoe, and a party sent aboard
found every one dressed alike. 1t
was thus some days before we dis
covered who was the captain. She
was manned by il men and had on
board 800 slaves and three slave
agents. The slaves were landed,
and the slave agents and five Span
iards who did not wish to claim
American citizenship were sent
away in tradeboat. Eight of the
,, slaver's crew were shipped on the
Mohican, and the officers and two Of
,, the crew were brought to America
The slaveship was taken to Liberia
1.-The captain of the SLAYER was
Nathaniel Gordon, and year after
his capture he was swung on Bed
loe's island, where the statue o.
' Liberty now stands. The first mate
was sentenced to ten years impris
onment, the second mate received
five years sentence, and the twt
seamen were each given a year.
: 1.-THE severe dealing with the Off
GERS was due to the intense feeling
Q on the slavery question, as tho wa
: had just broken out. The secont
: mate and tho two men volunteered
= to enter the army and were allowe'
8 to go free. Our lieutenant, Cumming
J ton, went into the Confederate nav.
after bringing Gordon back.
