Interviews ON General Subjects.

Interviews ON General Subjects.
For slight divergence from q dali
routine, the GLOBE-REPUBLICAN scrit
put his inquisitor in operation this weel
and he gives few of his efforts at intel
viewing a number of citizens on passin
evonts.
NJ. w. Sutton was reading the Pres
dents message, and was trying to Sub
tract some consolation from Growers an
nual state paper, when We entered hi
Office. Mike says the United States is
great pacifcator, and recited the success
Of the Venezuelan arbitration. Grover
plan in his message was an adroit schem,
to put Spain upon plan for solving tn,
difficulty with the insurgents on til,
Cuban island. The proposition of tn,
President that Spain adjust affairs on tn,
island in the interest of both countrie,
was wise move; and that the UniteG
States would stand by this arrangement
was piece of diplomacy commendable
to the President.
Mr.. Sutton reads the glittering and fat
tering newspaper notices of Wyatt EarE
with many degrees of allowance. To
those who know carp intimately, these
newspaper extravagances sound like
gush.
Andy Russell, county treasurer, says
taxes are being paid up slightly better
than last year; and the one-fourth less
tax rate is an incentive to larger pay
ment of taxes. Many inquiries continue
to come from outside holders of property
regarding taxes, and this leads to the in.
ference that many taxes will be paid be-
fore the time for putting on the penalties.
G. n. RidenOur. Farmers are still
sowing wheat, and if the fine weather
continues many acres will be sown to
wheat. Late planting has proven sue
cess many times-the yield being as good,
if not better, than the early planting.
The conditions are excellent for q wheat
crop, better than for many seasons.
Paul Henkel. The Presidents message
is disappointment. I would like to
have seen more vigorous policy pro-
posed in Cuban affairs. it being so nearly
q home matter. believe Grover has ex-l
hibited a lack of backbone.
Chas. E. Gallagher. Shipments on the
Santa Fe road continue brisk; and all
classes of business has improved on every
division, being greater than ever before
known in the history of the road. Trains
each way daily, number Is to 30. The
rush Of business is likely to continue as
long as the pleasant weather lasts. Cat.
tie, sheep and fruit are mostly the con-
signments east, while general merchan-
disc, corn, etc., goes west.
DR.. c. A. Milton. There is little sick
ness, but it would be the part of prudence
to guard against diphtheria, which is
prevalent in malignant form In some
parts Of the state. Some local cases in
the county were stamped out before
many serious and dangerous results were
had. There is "good soil'' for the pro-
pagation Of this dreaded disease; but II
look for no serious consequences, owing
to the preventive methods being used.
Al Anthony. This fine weather
may last until after Christmas. A severe
cold spell in November IL generally fol.
lowed bv pleasant weather, and q mild
winter, until the closing days of Febru.
ary and the month of March. Il Is hoped
the present indications will be no ex.
ception to the rule.
Ed. II. Madison. Ihave got my pueu-
matio tube corked tighter than the tire
on a scorcher's bicycle, and no newspa-
per interlocuter. can puncture it this
morning. o, yes; the Presidents mes.
sage is great state paper; and I'm 20
Ing to the solitude Of my chamber and
digest 1t. { feel little bit encour,esd
about some matters; and will see Won
later.
Il. N. Wright. Some weeks ago
Wyatt carp made an untruthful. nm.
called for and undeserYed statement con.
corning myself In San Francisco paper.
These "killers" like . newspaper mol
toriety, and they are not choice about the
means In which they obtain It. Ju,t
now, carp 10 the ''hero'' of the hour: but
his history lisa wonderful perversion of |
the facts, and l am astonished that the
American people can gloat over the a. |
legged escapades Of men like carp. II il
true carp was brave man, and exhib. i!
tied skin and nerve In the uses Of the
'tgan" in many instances, but he ought to |
build up his reputation without tsadueinx |
other people and misrepresenting facts. |
was always his friend, and saved him
from being murdered In Dodge City.
Dr.. Crumbine. We arc going to bal.
