Chicago, ILL.,, Got. 20.AThe Democratic
silver managers declare no permit is nec-
essary for their parade on October 81 ard
hence they are determined to parade
without one. A decision to this effect
was reached by the managers after hear
ing legal opinions on the point involved.
Chief of Police Badenooh does not show
any sign of receding from the position
he took on Friday, when the Democratic
leaders asked him to give their parade
preference over the Mckinley Working
mems clubs parade and which was an
nounced for the same night, October 81.
II do not intend that any parade shall
take place without permit" he said.

NATIONAL POLITICS.
REPUBLICAN FIGURES ONCE MORE.

hEPUBLICAN FIGURES ONCE MOhE'
Washington. - The Post says: The
Posts estimates on the election, given
out some fortnight or 30 ago, have at
tracted widespread attention. The ex-
planation of this is to be sought in the
fact that the Post is recognized every
where as genuinely independent jour
nal-a journal which has its own views as
to public measures, but which does not
adjust those views to the dictates of any
individual or party. The country under
stands that the Post speaks it's honest
convictions upon all matters, without
fear or favor, that it owes no allegiance
to political leaders or organizations.
When, therefore, We offered an estimate
on the situation as it appeared to Us at
that time, our figures we're generally ac.
cepted as the result of an intelligent and
unbiased investigation. They may have
been challenged here and there, but not
because of suspicion as to their color
ing. No one imagined that they were the
product of partisanship or unthinking
zeal.
Since then there have been some
changes in the superficial aspect of
things, and it seemseto us that revision
Of our first survey Is in order. For the
purpose of making this more Ineligible

pouring out floods of money to contro
elections, we believe it to be our duty to
strive with our utmost energy against
the wicked and criminal bribery of the
ignorant and corrupt, and we invite the
help of all honest citizens to stop it and
punish IT.
"We are in favor of increasing the
amount Of money issued by the govern.
ment for the reason that our present
econ nomical condition is the result of a
scarcity of the circulating medium.
"We demand national money issued
by the government aad net by the banks,
"We favor the free and unrestricted
coinage of silver and gold at the ratio OF
16 to /.
"We demand that the government shall
be taken from the control of powerful
corporations and restored to the common
people, for whose aid and protection it
was formed by the patriotic men of the
past.
"We most emphatically declare that
many of the powers now exercised by
our government, both local and national,
are not derived from the consent of the
governed. Freedom and right, asserted
by our fathers in the Declaration of In
dependence, demand change. The legitl
mate purpose of law and social order is
the welfare of the people and not to make
rich and powerful the Office holders and
their masters. Against the latter we shall
contend with every power of word and
brain and will, and act as free and inde-
pendent men, whether opposed by the
abuse and lies of the evil-minded, or the
misconstruction of honest men.

special privileges to none.'"

Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 20.-A hitch has
occurred in the settlement of the paro.
chial schools question. Premier Larier
and the delegates from Manitoba agreed
to allow half hour day In each school
for the teaching Of religion by the Roman
Catholics, the belief being that this con-
cession would settle the difficulty. The
Protestant leaders declared that such
concession was violation of national
school principles. So the Manitoba pre-
mier, Greenway, had to withdraw from
the agreement.

the payment of his share Of

repudiated the payment of his share of
the taxes levied in the past to pay inter
est on these very bonds that he is now
seeking to validate by special act of con-
gress.
Are you willing to return man to con-
gress who, while neglecting and refusing
to pay his own legitimate taxes, is
shamelessly trying to crush the poor peo-
pie under an added weight of illegitimate
taxesf Are you willing to return man
to congress, who, while your representa-
tive, wholly forgets your interests and

of attempting forcibly to collect from

WHAT 1NFLuFNoEp cATRoN.
It is currently reported and generally
believed that Delegate Catron's unblush-
ing and indefensible effort to persuade
congress, by systematic Interpretations,
to validate the Brice- Coler bonds Is attrib-
utable to very valuable consideration as
an "attorney-at-law." 1t is openly re-
ported on the streets that the Oolers have
agreed to lift the $4,000 mortgage from
his business block in this city, and to pay
him $4,000 in cash If he succeeds in
validating these bonds. No one knows
all the Influences that have induced him
SO fagrantly to betray his constituents
in the interest of rich eastern clients; but
the fact that Mr.. Joseph, while New Mex
zoos delegate in congress, was offered rs
per cent of the bonds in question to aid
in their valuation by congress will help
the discriminating reader to correct
understanding of the probable. induce
ments held out to Delegate Catron in the
same behalf.
Like the honest, upright and inoorrupt
ible man that he is, Mr.. Joseph indig-
nantly spurned the unconscionable offer
to betray his constituents and no further
effort was made to validate the bonds
while he was In congress. Contrast Mr..
Joseph's honest record in the premises
with that of Delegate Catron.
Once more, fellow citizens and fellow
ax.payers, the New MEXICAN earnestly
appeals to you seriously to consider
these facts and then 10 act as your enlight-
ened reason and quickened conscience
dictate when it becomes your solemn
duty to exercise the sacred right of every
freeman on the Sd of the coming Novem-

NATURAL GAS In SAN JUAN.

lily Burns-It is 800
Feet Deep.

The outside world knows but very lit
tie of the grand resources and possibili-
ties of San Juan county. We have nat
ural advisatages here that will in time
make This s1iite richest and most populous
portion of the great Rocky Mountain
region. We will not attempt right here
to mention the vast beds of coal which
underlie almost the entire county, nor of
the hundred and one other resources of
which the county boasts, but will merely
mention one thing which, if discovered to
exist in almost any other portion of the
Union, would set the inhabitants of the
locality wild with excitement, and be
followed by rapid development on the
line of the discovery. We refer to nat
ural gas. We have it here. 1t is no hy-
pothetical proposition, but an actuality.
Mr. s. S. Blake, in sinking an artesian
we'll on his ranch adjoining Pennington
several months ago, at depth of 300
feet, struck natural gas, which, when light
ed at the mouth of the well, flames up to
foot or N ore 10 height. The force is
but little at present, but we're the we'll
bored 200 or possibly 100 feet deeper it
would undoubtedly be greatly increased.
Mr.. Blake's circumstances have deter
red him from going ahead with the work
sooner, but he contemplates resuming
work on the we'll sometime this winter,
and the day is not far distant when Farm
ington will be supplied with heat and
light from natures own gas works, says
the San Juan Times.

TOUCHING CUBAN AFFAIRS
A Soothing Dispatch Sent From Wash

tween Weyler and Lee.
CRAVE EVENTS PREDICTED IN SPAIN
Premier Canovas Characterizes as Alb
surd Reports That Spain is Con-
sidering Abandonment of Cuba
Assured That the U. S.
Will not Interfere.

Washington, Oct. 2O.-It is stated by
officials that the reports from New Or
leans as to the exciting controversy at
Havana between Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, u.
8. consul-general, and Gen. Weyler, over
the attempted apprehension of a Mexican
named Fernandez on board the Vigil
lancia, give Significance and import
anoe to the event not warranted by the
facts.
Weyler ordered the arrest of Fernandez
as suspect, not knowing that he was on
board an American ship.
Lee notified the Spanish authorities
that the Vigilancia was an American ship,
which, under treaty rights, had immunity
from search and seizure for suspects in
transit.
Weyler promptly acceded to the posi-
tion taken by Lee and the affair ended.
wEYLER MAY BE RECALLED.
New York.-A World dispatch from
Havana says: Weyler and Blanco will
be recalled, Premier Canovas will fall
and grave events will occur in Spain,
Madrid dispatches say, unless the rebels
in Cuba and in the PHILIPPINE ISLANDS are
conquered within month.
PREMIER CANOvAs INTERVIEWED.
Madrid.-In an interview with the pre-
mier, Canovas characterized as absolute
ty false and ridiculous the statement
that the Spanish government intended
to abandon Cuba in the event that the
war is not concluded by March.
Regarding the report that President
Cleveland intended taking action in ia.
vor of the insurgents, Senor Canovas
says the government has received assur-
ahces from Washington to quite con-
trary effect.
