Miserable Mexico.
Mexican Herald.

Mexican Herald.
 Editorial myopes in the great republic are thinking to strengthen the cause ofgold monometallism by citing Mexico as a warning and an example. "Miser- able Mexico" is the summing up of their arguent. WellIf Mexico be "mis- erable," what must be the proper term in the wide and ample vocabulary Of English to apply to the present condi- ton of tke United States industrlally commercially and financially? The seriou weekly journals, devoted to busi- ness and.trade, depict the situation as dismal and with TO prospect Of becom- ing better until the presidential elec- ton is over and there is some well-de- fined policy, as regards, both the tariff and the currency, presented by the leaders of the victorious party.
 In Miserable Mexico" we are tram quii: our national industries are every where expanding, railways are under construction, superb residences are be- ing erected III this the capital city. the banks are paying large dividends, there is no unhealthy imitation of the cur. rency, and the tropical republic, wisely aud the judicious!y governed, presents striking contrast 10 the mismanaged richest nation on the planet.

IT CAN'T BE DID.

The following article is cut from the columns of the Phenix Republican. It shows state of affairs which render Mckinley and the Republican party perfectly powerless to fulfill the pledges to the people made in the platform adopted at the late convention in St. Louis. There is no use in trying to raise any false issues, the silver question is the paramount and all-absorbing enc. Any alteration in the existing tariff law is a secondary consideration Affairs in this country will be worse complicated by the election of Mckinley than by one holding the most extreme views on the silver question. Should this country suffer the misfortune to elect the Repub-

AN instance of the suneriorl

AN instance of the superiority of the new army rife with its small, hard metal bullet was noted at the target practice of infantry at San Diego recently. Last year this practice was carrIed on at the same rife butts as the practice this year but with the old style rife and lead bull lets. The rifiemen this year found i'm bedded behind the butts leaden bullet which had been partially flattened, fired the year before, and half way through this bullet had passed one of the new hardened bullets, cutting clean hole through the lead after passing through thick butt. The hardened bullet was not muti!ated in the slightest.

The New York Life Insurance com pany, which is represented so ably at this point by MT. R. R Harper, has just made settlement. that it has been ready and anxious to make far some weeks. MT. Reynolds of the Albuquer- que office came down on this mornings tram and a settlement was made III a few moments, ofthe claim of the estate of the late Frank Reitz, for $3,OOO,0 against the company. The company has been ready to make the payment since the third day after the news of the foul murder of our late townsman reached Gallup, and has had to await the appointment of an administrator. Mir. Tom Hinch has been appointed to act in that capacity, and so the money was this morning paid over to him. The company is to be congratulated on it's promptness i'll settling.

JAMES ] CoRBETT. champion heavy weight pugil:st of the world, was under a contract to put q common, ordinary sailor man named Tom Sharkey to sleep
 n four-round slugglng match The contest took place in San Francisco on evening of the 24th of last month. At the end of the fourth round, Sharkey was rot only wide awake and on his feet, but appeared, according to some accounts, to be in the better condition of the two. During the fourth and last round both men appeared to have lost their heads, and regular rough and tumble, gouge-'em-andb bite-'em scrim- mage was indulged in. The police in terfered at this stage of the game, and the gong sounded for the close of the exhibition at the same instant. It is charged that Corbett signaled the police his desire 10 have the fight stopped. When order had been partially restored the referee declared the battle draw and all bets off The next day the man. ager of Sharkey and Corbett in his own proper person, met and entered into the preliminary arrangements for $10,000 fight to a finish The air and language Of the pompadour champion during the interview was disgusting, he showing his chagrin at the result of the contest very plainly. It appears, from all ac- counts of the whole transaction, that the fistic champion. instead of adding any fresh laurels to his fame as a pugi- list, rather lost prestige, while his de- meanor next day proved the appellation Gentleman Jim to be misnomer.

Good Health

And good appetite go hand in hand. With the loss of appetite, the system cannot long sustain itself. Thus the Notifications of good health are broken down and the system is liable to ttacks of disease. It is in such cases that the medicinal powers of Hoods SarsaparilIa are clearly shown. Thousands who have taken Hoods SarsapariIia testify to it's great merits as purifier of the blood, it's powers to restore and sharped the appetitie and promote healthy action of the digestive organs. Thus it is not what we say but what Hoods Sarsaparilla does that tells the story and constitutes the str ngest recom- mendation that can be urged for any medicine. Why not take Hoods Sarsa- pariiIa now?

The assertion of some of the terri torial papers that Attorney General Wilson is a goldbug is untrue and un- fair. Col. Wilson is and has been a pronounced advocate of free silver for years and has probably spoken more fOrcibly on this subject than any other man in Arizona with the exception Of Mark Smith. The friends of silver are not overburdened with able champions like Col. Wilson and iE is unfair to mis- represent and viilify a man who is loyal to every interest 0 four territory and na- ton as is Col, Wilson.

The republican party may laugh at the bolting silver senators as loud as is pleases now. It will be better able to disTense with the votes of the silver states in the electoral college than to do with out the votes of their senators when it undertakes to pass protective tariff bills. The bolt at St. Louis re. duced the Republican vote in the sen- ate to forty. only one more than the Democratic vote and six less than a majority. This fact takes some of the humor out of the situation.-Albuquer- que Democrat.

THE IRON INDUSTRY.

The London Spectator has the follow ing to say about the British iron trade:
 At the meeting ot the British Iron Trade conference which took place at the Westminster Palace Hotel on Wednesday, the President, Sir Alfred Hickman, M. P, made very remarka- ble statement. What" he asked. twas the cause that we were being left behind in the race ?' The delegation of the British iron trade which recently visited the continent were unan- imOus in assigning, as the chief reason, the much lower cost of conveying the material. A reduction of farthing per ton in the carriage of minerals would revelutioniZe the English iron trade That is very interesting, and, we believe. true Our neglect of canals and our extravagant system of railway transport has in- iurei all our industries, and ha!f-kilIed those pressed by foreign competition. like agriculture and iron. MT Jeans statement to the confer ence as to what ii happening in the iron trade Is as gloomy as it is sensational. During the past twenty years we have, he declared, yielded up our place of supremacy in all branches of the iron and steel trade, except that of tin'plates, to the United States German and Belgian su- premacy was established in nearly every conn., try, including our own while nations such as Russia had created on the most modern lines Gn iron industry which would bear comparison with that of Western Europe; and countries such as China, Japan, India, Canada and Mex ico have started on Q career of iron-making. Clearly, we shall lose the iron trade altogether unless we cheapen transport and adopt the newest processes. Staying Cf the evil day when new machinery must ba bought is one of the surest and most effective ways of ru:ning a trade.
 And all this English distress and con- sequent prosperity in :he United States was brought about through that odious and unjustly discriminating Democratic Wilson tariff bill. The above is voice direct from Great Britain, and yet, ii ycu ask the opinion of stauncb Re publican, he will say, "It's lie, trumped up by the Democratic party.

Mrs. Minerva Peck, for 81 years a

this month and leave for Cincinnati,
where she has relatives. Mrs. Peck

The institution has never had bet
ter employe and in the various posi-
tons in which she has served her
duties have always been discharged
faithfully and efficiently. Mrs. Peck's
salary is now $500 and she has saved
a handsome COMPETENCY out of her
earnings during the long period
she has served the State. 1t is due
to the Republican administration to
say that Mrs. Peck's retirement is en-

sured by DIR. Letcher that she would
not be removed. She has resigned
on account of failing health.
