A storr Of RAMON.

The Washington Post tells story H.
lustrating the politeness of Minister
Ransom. One day, when he was in the
senate, as he was going down the cap
itol steps, he saw approaching a very
dull, long winded man. Ransom was
alarmed. He was in no mental or phys
ical shape to bear the brunt of a full
dedged bore just at that moment. He
must do something to save himself. As
the dull one drew near, Ransom, in his
desperation, greeted him with short
ness and hurried by. The other had
paused, but at this brief dismissal, as it
were, turned away up the steps. Ran
som was smitten of conscience at his
own rudeness. 1t was foreign TO his po-
lite and howery instincts. He must do
something to take the soreness out Of
the man. Ransom turned pleasantly
when some ten steps separated him from
the bore and called out: "Goodby,
Simpkinsi I've been thinking a mighty
heap about you lately, Simpkinsp" At
this Simpkins began to betray symp-
toms Of returning. but don't come
back, Simpkins, demonstrated Ran
som, wildly motiOning with both hands.
1--WE been thinking a mighty heap
about you lately. Simpkins. but don't
come back; don't come backP'

Peat fiber can be bleached to snowy
whiteness and will dye any color. One
Of the great advantages Of cloth made
from peat fiber is that it is entirely anti
septic and possesses properties which
render it inimical to parasitical organ
ism. In appearance the finer makes are
quite equal to the best tweeds and close

- The people have long since learned
that the most disagreeable medicines
are not necessarily the best. In fact,
as a rule, they are not. What is want
ed is something mild and sure, such as
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. That is really
pleasant to take when reduced with
water and sweetened. Then it is &C
knowledged everywhere to be the sue
cessful remedy in the world for bowel
complaints. Ask any number Of drug
gists for the best remedy they have for
diarrhoea and fully nine out of ten
will recommend Chamberlain's. In
speaking of this medicine Mr.. B. B.
Buffum, Of Friendsville, Suspuehan.
ma County, Pennsylvania, says: "We
have used it in our family for pain in
the stomach, collie and diarrhoea, and
found it to be the most effective rem.
edy." For sale by all druggists.

with an uncOmmonly severe attack of
diarrhOea, Mr.. w. b. Guinnip, of At

Cholera and DiarrhOea Remedy. He
says: Il found it to be one of the
most effective remedies 1 ever used.
1t gave me almost immediate relief.
1t has no superior and 1 think no
equal. No bad effects follow the use
of this remedy. 1t is pleasant to take
when reduced with water and sweet
ened. Children like it. 1t never fails.
1t is the most perfect remedy ever
produced for bowel complaints" For

Col, ]. P. Newoomb and the Negroes.

Col. j. Z. Newcomb and the Negroes.
Freie Presse Fuer Texas, Aug. 20.
The negroes seem to have got.
ten 1t into their heads to push Col.
Jas. p. Newcomb out OF the Repub.
lican Executive committee Of the
Twelfth Congressional District,
and we are sorry to say that they
are being assisted by few I'M
principled white politicians who
have gone through "thick and thin"
with the negroes and used them,
(the negroes to cry down the re-
spectacle white Republicans in
conventions. We have said in for
mer issues Of the Freie Presse that
the Terrells, Sulzbachers, Clitfords,
ct al, bad no cause whatever to be
present or assist at, or to join the
negroes protest and indignation
meeting; they could have
kept away, could have re-
manned neutral in discussion in
which they were not interested,
especially after the convention
had decided that Col. Newcomb
should be member of the eXecu-
tive committee.
While the opposition of the
negro to Col. Newcomb is dis
grace and a shame, it but shows
how far ingratitude can be carried,
but 1t is still more to be deplOred
to see few whites make common
cause with the darkies and at
every chance try to and do keep up
this unjustifiable antagonism.
Col. Newcomb was Republican
at time when it required courage,
and that not of the doubtful kind,
to openly espouse Republican SEN
timent or proclivities and to pro-
claim oneself member of the Re-
publican party. He was at this
time subject to all kinds Of annoy
ance and persecution, but has re-
manned firm to his convictions,
thus creating for himself the most
bitter hatred OF the majority of
his fellow citizens.
Republicans were not then
plentiful, as now. Political tolera-
tion existed in name only. New
comb was and remained an earnest
defender Of the Republican cause
in speech and writings-and now
at this late day come the negroes
and a few Republican novices, who
have had hardly any experience in
life sufficient to appreciate and
measure the sacrifice, that had had
to be gone through with by any
one who called himself a Republi-
can thirty and more years ago,
and these self assumed censors
attempt now if possible to kick
Col. Newcomb out Of the party.
We do not agree with everything
that Col. Newcomb has done in
former times, but 1t must be born
in mind that irritated and
prosecuted on all sides to such an
extent when 'forbearance almost
ceased to be virtue and when
patience and leniency would
come to an end with him.
However during. these last twenty
years he has become more toler-
ant and we have never found
that he made any attempt
to force his opinion when
there was any opposition to him;
that he was always ready and
willing to sacrifice his ideas and
adopt more prudent views for the
sake Of peace.
II Col. Newcomb wishes to cur
tail the influence Of the negroes in
the Republican party Of Texas, he
does so only for the best in
terest Of the negros themselves,
and he is in fact better
and greater friend to them than
those who flstter and fraternize
with them for their own vile and
selfish purposes.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Aug. 2s.-Great
interest is being taken in the proposition
of Bishop Taylor of Utah looking toward
the construction of direct railway line
from Cedar City, Utah, to Los Angeles.
The Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation has interested itself IN this
project, and there is active skirmishing
among the business men OF the city with a
view of encouraging Bishop Taylor. At
an executive meeting of the directors of
the association tonight a committee was
appointed to confer with the Bishop, ee-
cure his references and plans and investi-
gate them thoroughly.
The report of this committee will be the
basis for future action.
This is the second time Bishop Taylor
has interested himself in behalf of this
railroad enterprise. Three years ago
proposition to raise 81 ,000, 900 to carry for
ward the work was under consideration,
and it was in fair way toward accom-

the commercial bodies here that it would
build the road on a guarantee OF half a
million. This proposition was taken up,
and Bishop Taylor went home. Having
defeated the enterprise, the Union Pacific

SKELETON PASS OUTLAWS
Joe George Believed to Be the
Leader of the Intrenched
Desperadoes.
Marshal Hall Will Await the Coming
of Frontiersmen Before At.
tacking.

SILVER CITY, N. MEX, Aug. 2s.-
Owing to the roughness of the country
United States Marshal Hall has deemed it
better to rely upon experienced frontiers
men in the attempt to capture the bandits
entrenched in Skeleton Canyon, near the
New Mexico line. He has recruited suf-
ficient deputies to make the attack with
out the assistance of troops, which have
been ordered to return to their respective
posts, Forts Bayard and Grant. Marshal
Hall and force will reach the stronghold
of he robbers by Saturday night and ex-
pect to attack them early Sunday
morning.
1t Is now definitely known that the
leader of the bandits is the notorious Joe
George, who headed the gang that held mp
Southern Pacific train near Stems Pass,
in this Territory, about a year age. II is
said that the robbers are remaining in the
canyon to care for two of the band who
were wounded in the recent fight with
Sheriff's posse at the time of the Nogales
affair, until they shall be able to travel.
George has been operating along the
border stealing stock for the past eight
months, and he has now gathered together
a gang of desperadoes for the purpose of
train and bank robbery.
