Mexico, who was instrumental in the lynching of Arroyo, the would be as sassin of President Diaz, committed suicide on Friday morning of last week, shooting himself through the left temple and dying instantly.
 Fl Paso Herald: Captain Gotta, aged 2j, of the l2th infantry, Mex ican. has been executed at the City of Mexico for insubordination and killing the major ot his regiment in a battle with the Yaquis. The cap tain met his death brayely.
 Fl Paso Herald: Two cars of oranges have been received at the joint ware house after much delay from the south, with about twenty five per cent in a bad condition. But for the washouts there would be quite rush of Mexican oranges this way.
 A City of Mexico paper says that the hundreds of young men sent from Mexico every year to be educated in the United States and Europe will hereafter be educated in Mexico. That government will establish big university at Aguas Calientes, where all languages will be taught.
 Fl Paso Herald: Parties acquainted along the line of the Mexican Central say they never saw in all their born days such an amount Of water be- tween Juarez and Chihuahua, and the Central has suffered as it never suf- fered before and perhaps never will again. Some Of the washouts were 4500 feet long, and the amount Of cribbing aud filling to be done has been something Imrnensc.
 El Paso Herald The Mexican Gen. tral got it in the neck again last night Carmen lake broke loose, and washed ont about about TOO feet of i'll averaging fourteen feet high for the Central near the station of San Jose; and it will be over a week be- fore the damage can be repaired In the meantime mails and passengers go via Torreon and Eagle Pass. The village, or rather the cemetery, of Villa Ahumada is under several feet of water, and is dangerously liable to stay there for the next two months.
 Regarding the projected road from Chihuahua, which is to be built under concession granted to Henry c. Creel and Alfred A. Spendlove, the concessionaries have completed their final arrangements, and have their engineers in the field, running the preliminaries under the direction of Chief Engineer Stafford The line will probably be built on the follow Ing route: From Chihuahua City to santa Isabel, say fifty kilometers: thence to Guerrero, 1s0 kilometers. This part of the road is sure to be built as rapidly as possible. From Guerrero forward, the country be- comes somewhat difficult, and con- structl0n costly, m order to get across the Sierra Madre range, or the Mex ican Rocky Mountains, but the prob able route will be from Guerrero to Boboyua, thence to Ouitoco, which is about the summit of the highest point of the Sierra; thence the natural line is to follow one of the atiluents of the Fuerte river, and finally to Topo- lobampo, or such other port as may be selected.

Good News From the Business
World,

Reports from business centres
which reach members of Congress
here are very gratifying. Dunn's
Review, which is accepted as a re
liable business barometer, not con-
trolled or influenced by political or
other causes which would affect its
accuracy, presents the most salts
factory trade statement for last
week that has been made since the
present business depression began.
That statement was remarkable in
its showing of the decided decrease
in embarrassments in all branches
of trade and in reports of unusual
activity in all the industries in an
ticipation of the passage of the
tariff bill. The failures reported
in most branches of trade are less
in number than at any time in the
last thirty-six months, while the
volume of business transacted is. in
quantity, larger than in 1892, the
year of our greatest prosperity, the
slight reduction in value being due
to the smaller prices paid for the
articles of commerce handled. When
it is remembered that this happens
before the new tariff bill gets upon
the statute books, and with the in
dustries of the country depressed
by the importation Of foreign goods
at the rate of over hundred mil
lions month, the improvement
thus noted is very remarkable

The cry against money power

ever since the human race began

and always will be men who possess
a faculty for accumulating wealth,

ed by those who cannot acquire
wealth by their own unaidcd efforts,

THE calamity bowling Democrat
ic papers get wocfulIy mixed up at
times in their attempts at proving
that McKinley's election can bring
no prosperous times to the country.
For instance, the ''Rcpuhlic" sent
correspondent into the pcnnsyl-
vania coal mines, who writes that
he saw no improvement there, but
much evidence of hard times and
suffering among the miners. In
the first portion of the article this
state of affairs is attributed to
''McKinley's prosperity" but later
on an intelligent miner is inter
viewed as to the cause of the dis
trcssing condition of the miner.
The man replied by pointing at a
Slav miner as ''the locust of Egypt
that is devouring the English-speak-
ing miner. 1t Is to the cheap
labor imported from Europe, and
not to political conditions, that the
intelligent miner attributes his hard
times. We don't see where the
connection between the two
ends of the published article
lies. McKinley's administration
certainly had nothing to do witt
bringing the british foreign labor
Ell in competition with the Amer
lean miner; yet the intent of the
writer was to prove that the new
administration was responsible fol-
all the unfortunate conditions he
saw.

The Democrats ard Protection.

The break in the free trade line
in the Senate grows larger as the
days pass. Bacon, Of Georgia, Of
fered an amendment to the tariff
bill putting e duty of % per cent.
al vaIorcm on raw cotton. and the
proposition was accepted by a
heavy majority. The Republicans
were not especially anxious to place
Il duty on cotton. which has usually
been on the free list. but as the
matter was brought squarcly before
the Senate they supported the
amendment. which was adopted by
Il vote Of - to -. Several Pop
ulists and silver ex-Rcpublican>
voted with the Republicans in favor
Of the duty. and with them were
six Democrats 81 Bacon and Clay Of
Georgia. McEncry Of Louisiana,
Ti!lman and NlcLaurin of South
Carolina, and RaWlins Of Utah.
The vote upon this side of the
chamber seems to he getting small
er and SMALLER. remarks Senator
Vest. He is right. At the begin
ming of the session McEnery was
the only Democratic Senator who
was expected to give any aid to the
protectionists, but he has brought
over a large enforcement. OF
course, as cotton is strictly a South
crn product, the vote on the Dem
ocratic side in favor of a duty upon
it will naturally he larger than on
almost any other item in the bill.
Most of the Democrats. though.
who helped to put the duty in the
bill will undoubtedly feel constrain-
ed to vote for the entire measure
when it comes up for tina! action.
After getting the duty in the bill it
would be folly for any of the Dem
ocrats who voted for the duty to
abandon it in the end. Whatever
these six Democrats may think OF
some Of the other provisions in the
measure, the majority of them can
be relied on to stick to the duty bv
supporting, on the final vote, the
measure which carries it.
1t has been evident from tho
moment when the first vote was
taken in the Senate on Il proposed
amendment to the tariff bill that
the measure was sure to pass that
body, but the majority which il
will have will evidently be greater
than any Republican looked fol
even as recently as a week ago
Moreover, a speed has been attain

even its most sanguine friends die
