IN these days of "busted banks" it is with feeling of peaceful security we turn to the last sworn statement of the First National Bank, of Albuquerque, N. M., issued April 24th, 1896. By this statement we learn that the resources of the home institution amounts to the enormous sum or $l, ,3O9, ,697, ,49, of this immense total all but the insignificant sum of $4O,OOO (real estate) is in cash and gilt.edged securities. Ought we not to be proud of such showing?

Two Militant African Powers.
[Review of Reviews.

lReview of RevieWs.J
 One ofthe two native African powers is the ancleDt kingdom of Abyssiuia.- the oldest fiercest, and most effective organized element in the vast popula- tion of the Dark Continent,-andt the other power is the empire of the Mahdi, the newest but none the less the most formidable politico-military organiza- ton to be found anywhere today out side of Europe, with the exception of Japan and the possible exception of Abyssinia. It has within a few days been stated by Mir. Curzon. the Brihish Under secetary for Foreign Affairs (who always now speaks in the house of commons for the foreign depart ment), that the Mahdi and bis dervishes represent fighting force of not less than 300 900 men. The effective army of the Abyssinians,-not merely the force that might Tn an eme rgency be under arms, but tde force to- day act ually in the field under command of King Menelek,-is sad to be leIs than 100000 men, supplied with late patterns of repeating rifles. These two forces,- one of which (the Mahdi and his men) represents the fercest conceivable re- vlval in tue Arab breast of Moslem fanaticism, while the other (King Menelek and his vassal lords and chief tains of the provinces) represents 8 people who. having espoused Judaism in the time of King Solomon. were converted to Christianity some fifteen hundred years ago.-have not hitherto been workidg in cooperation.

DEMOCRATS NOT DEAD.
New York Evening Post.1

New York Evening Post.I
 More town elections were held in various States. and, as in the case of of those held last week, the rascally Democrats showed that they were not only alive as party, but were eager to vote for their party's candidates. It IS quite clear that the Democratic party is not dead; after all; and that it may make a somewhat formidable resistance to the Republicans in the approaching Presidential. election.

 f 6eHltry

Carrollton, June 13-(Special Corre- spondence) )-The weather is the all i'm portant subject now with the farmers. It has been very variable during the past week.

The negroes alleged at first that the parties were disguised and that they recognized several of them, who were named. It turned out that the statement was without any foundatlon, and now they claim that the marauders were not disguised, and that they did not know any of them.
 MT. Jesse T. Thompson of Rutherford county, Tennessee, is visiting his rela- tives, MT Samuel E. Comerford ana Mrs. Sue Comerford, of Reform. MT. Thomp- son formerly lived at Pickensville, from which place he removed more than thirty years ago.
