THE CROW AND THE GOLF BALLS

He Likes Only New Ones, Which He

From the Westminster Budget.
A crow which haunts the Mid-Surrey
links at Richmond Is a bit of a humorist.
He has played such pranks with the golf
ers' balls that the subject has been discuss

on players who use nice new white balls:
''remades." or balls that have been played
with before, and on which the paint has
Clipped, receive none of his embarrassing
attentions:
Recently two players were approaching
one OF the holes, one player using a new
ball, the other ball that had been played
with before. On walking toward their balls
the players were astonished to see the crow
alight near them, examine first one hail
and then the other. eventually rejecting
the older ball, and fly away with the new
one In his beak. The crow took the hail
over into some marshy ground beyond the
boundary of the links, where the caddie In

CURRENCY REVISION.

Therei is mo- doubt that the coming
congress will attempt to make some revi.
sion of the currency and existing banking
system, but it will doubtless be confined
to the most conservative measures posi-
BILE. People who are extremely friendly
to the monetary commission and who
would like to have its recommendation
adopted, are already beginning to feel
that no such changes as the commission
will doubtless be compelled, for the
purpose of mpleteness, to suggest, will
be adopted by congress. 1t now looks as
if congress would be inclined to legislate
with respect to the greenbacks, and it IS
stated that the Presidents message will
propose legislation looking toward the
conversion of that currency into medium
based upon gold, dollar for dollar, but
this statement is looked upon as being
the father of the desire.
In hisinaugural the president stated that
something in the way Of currency reform
was e1pedient, but it is not thought that
his recommendations in the annual mes
sage will GO to the extreme of urging that
only gold shall be used as a medium for
making the proposed changes. In that
address he stated that our financial sys-
tenn needed some revision; that our
money was good, but that its nature
must not be further threatened that it
must be put upon an enduring basis, not
subject to easy attack 1t is thought
that in harmony with these expressions
the president will suggest that the law
which provides for the reissue of the
conditioning their use by the treasury
only as gold certificates. This means
their redemption practically, for when
the process is completed they will have
become mere warehouse receipts for
gold.
1t is doubtful that congress will 90 to
this extent in the revision of the existing
currency laws. While it would possibly
be advantageous and prove to the rest of
the financial Word hat the money Of the
United States is based upon .hv fecop-
nized metal of intrinsic value, there is a
feeling in the country that the interests of
silver must not be disregarded, and
the senate is not apt to override that
feeling.
There has been much speculation as to
what action congress will take on the
financial question, but it is safe to pre-
dict that no radical measures will be
adopted on the question.

TRANsMlsSIssipI EXPOSITION.

Acting Governor Wallace is in eipt
of letter from Mr.. E. E. Bruce, manager
of exhibits of the Trapsmissssippi ex.
position, in which he says:
"You will doubtless remember that
$1,450 was appropriated by your legisla-
ture for the purpose of securing an
exhibit from New Mexico at this exposi-
tion, and that commission of nine was
appointed to see to it's proper expendi-
ture. 1t gives me pleasure to state that
our executive committee recently offered
to the territory, free of charge, 500 square
feet of space. But 80 far as we can learn,
nothing has as yet been done toward
preparing an exhibit, in spite of the very
great advantage given by this money and
this free space to New Mexico in COM
parison with several states which, although
entirely without appropriations, are
nevertheless preparing to make most
creditable displays Of their resources at
the exposition. We had hoped that the
Leeson collection, which was at Nashville,
might be forwarded to Omaha as nucleus
for New Mexico's exhibit, and are very
sorry that for some unexplained reason
this was not DONE"
1t is q lamentable fact that very little
interest has so far been taken BY the
people of New Mexico in the exposition
which opens on May l, 1898. The dis
play made at Nashville, limited as it was,
proved of great benefit to the territory
in attracting attention to New Mexioo's
resources, both mineral and agricultural,
and ths Transmississippi ex position, since
it's avowed purpose is to exhibit the re-
sources of the western states, will offer
greater advantages than did the Nash
vile show for advertising this gres, ter
ritory. The appropriation made by the
legislature, while small, is sufficient, If
judiciously used, to make very cred
liable exhibit. The commissioners ap
pointed to carry out the provisions of
the act making the appropriation, If sin
cere in their desires to advance the inter
ests OF the territory, should take hold of
the matter in an energetic manner and
send oredltable display to Omaha. The
time for making Preparations is short,
and not day should be wasted.

the residents of one state or country can
cause the people of another state or
country, nearer the source of stream,

necessary to prevent the robbery of ma

There may be some occasion on the
part of Mexico and Kansas for com plant
regarding water rights, bnt the people of
New Mexico and Colorado have rights to
the water in the streams which flow
through their boundaries which must be
guarded and regarded. The welfare and
prosperity of all New Mexico and the
southern part of Colorado are in large
measure dependent upon the right to
the free use of the waters from the Rio
Grande and the Arkansas, and the i'm
portance of the matter must be i'm pressed
upon the representatives in congress
from these commonwealths. Congress
meets in few days and steps should be
taken to bring the matter before that
body in it's proper shape and importance.

WESTERN WATER RIGHTS,

The gradual settlement of the semi-arid
regions of the great southwest and the
placing of countless thousands of acres
of land under cultivation have made
water rights extremely valuable, and re-
sultipg from the scramble for water is an
endless chain of litigation.
In New Mexico, one Of the most
important and largest irrigation en-
terprises ever attempted in the ter
ritory, is held up by an injunc-
tion secured upon technicslities. Those
who have secured the estoppage of
this enterprise are said to have ul-
terror motives back OF them, but be that
as it may, the southern part of New Mex
ico has been held back in it's advance
ment for more than year and the mat
ter is still in the United States Supreme
court.
The latest trouble in the water world
is the threatened action of the people of
Wichita against the citizens of Colorado
in reference to the use of water
from the Arkansas river. The far

continued dryness of the stream on ac-

VIII succeed Archbishop

The appointment of Archbishop Cha
pelle of Santa Fe, N. a., to be archbishop
of New Orleans, to succeed the late Arch
bishop Janssens, was responsible for
the rumor here that Bishop Matz of this
city was, in torn, to succeed Archbishop
Chapelle at Santa Fe.
At the bishops residence on Stout
street Father Casey said that as far as he
or anybody knew, Bishop Matz would not
90 to Santa Fe. He recalled the fact that
three years ago the bishop sent in his
resignation to Rome, but that it was re-
jected, as the pope WAS anxious to keep
him in Denver. He further stated that
as far as he or Father Phillips knew, the
latter being second to the bishop in Den
YER, Bishop Matz has never entertained
any desire to 20 to Santa Fe. Father
O'Brien, when seen yesterday afternoon,
said that Bishop Matz could not be
transferred to Santa Fe until after the
dignitaries of the church held their next

said that the bishop had not expressed
any desire to 60 south.
