CLIENT
"Ye amt got no client, /" interrupted
the judge, land If thar Is any more re-
marks I'll fine 70 fur contempt of court.
That ends this case
1.-THE next case on the docket presents
pecooliar circumstances. This yere court,
who is court when he Is out Of court and
all the time, was a-ridin out to Big Bar
the other day on his cayuse, when he
meets up with Chinyman who had found
a 20 ounce nugget. When this court had
hefted that nugget and was sure 1t was
solid stuff, he suggested to the heather his
willingness to exchange his cayuse fur It,
don't 90 fur to say that the boss was
hardly wuth 1t, but he was a legal boss,
so to speak, and that heather could have
flung on heap Of style in the saddle.
He'd be the only heather in the saddle fur
100 miles around. Did 1T strike him that
wayp Not any! He jest drawed his head
down between his shoulders and suddenly
lost his speech. As this we're court feels
that he knows what's good fur Chinymen
he got off this cayuse and laid hands on
that heather to git the nugget away. Will
1t be believed, yere in this nineteenth
century, that the wall eyed son Of a gun
kicked this court on the nose and kicked
him on the shinp Sich was the case, and
while this court was temporarily disabled
the heather got away. It's case Of con-
tempt of court, and a mighty bad one. 1t
has taken us four days to find the Chiny-
man, and, what's wuss, he's hid the mug
get. If court can't maintain Its dig
nifty, then it's no court at all. The var
dict is guilty, and the Chinyman must
pay fine of $50 and $23 costs. The con-
stable will tie him to the stovepipe and

OUR GLORIOUS CLIMATE.
Santa Fe Enjoys a Most Equable and
Cool Summer Temperature and
Moderate Winters.
COMPARISONS FAVOR SANTA FL GREATLY

Lccality-Sunshlne Nearly
All the Time.

New Mexico lies at the point where the
Rocky mountains lose that characteristic
individuality which they have preserved
az a distinctive feature from within the
Arctic circle to Colorado and almost
throughout that state. Heretofore they
have been a range or broad series of
parallel ranges exhibiting lofty peaks
and passes at attitudes 80 great as to lie
further skyward than many Wanted al
pine submits. But when the chain has
reached its final great effort of elvation
in Pixies Peak it rapidly loses its massive
character and with astonishing rapidlty
sinks to rolling Hills and spreads out on
mesas of altitude still great but of even
and gentle slope.
Viewed by the aid of its contours of
altitude New Mexico appears as a plain
raised to the height of 5000 feet, broken
but by two systems of greater elevations
and interrupted by Lesser ones only on
the eastern and southern faces. Nearly
three fourths of the territory is in
cluded within the contour of 5000
feet. All that part of the territory
which lies above the 1000 feet con
tour is rugged mountains of precipitous
slope and deeply scored face. Their eli
matte purpose is to extract the rain from
the atmo phere for the benefit of the
lower levels; they do more than this, for
the rain carries away the desintegratiDg
rock to enrich the plateau and the valley
beneath. Arizona faces the prevailing
humid wind and opposes to it fight OF
steps; New Muxico is almost entirely OF
the leeward side of the mountain ranges
and exposes minimum of bluff surface
to the wind. Hence arise different oil
matte conditions.
The elevation of the barometer cistern
of the weather bureau station at Santa
Fe is 6,998 above mean tide of the Gulf of
Mexico, and the barometer is 81 feet above
the base of the monument in the main
plaza, 80 that the altitude of Santa Fe is
approximately 6,967 feet above sea level.
resume of the records for 23 years
shows that great extremes in temperature
are seldom reached, the lowest recorded
tenn perature being Is degrees below zero
in January, 1883, and the highest So in
July, 1878, in Santa Fe.
During the present decade the highest
absolute temperature has not exceeded
80 degrees, and in comparison of these
tenn peratures with extremes of the more
humid sections of the eastern states and
the Mississippi valley, the extreme dry
ness of the air must be considered; that
the heat experienced by the human body
is some 10 to Is degrees less than that
shown by the metallic thermometer, a
temperature of 80 degrees in the shade at
Santa Fe being about equal to 70 degrees
in st. Louis.
The following table taken from the
reports of the climate and crop service
of the bureau will give a general idea of
the relative intensity of heat as indicated
by the metallic Thermometer.

II will be observed that the difference
is less than that given in comparison
first above noted. This demonstrates
the decrease in the difference between the
absolute and sensible temperature as the
intensity in heat becomes less, until in
midwinter, the difference is slight and
low temperatures are therefore fairly
comparable.
The thermal conditions, especially in
summer, are not what might be expected
at this latitude, owing to the environment
The average enperature during the
summer months is about 81 degrees,
about the temperature of the upper

This yere court bein open, said Judge
Hoke of Sandy Bend as he felt behind him
to see if his guns were handy-"this yere

of Lee Hung, the wall eyed heather who
is charged with stealth pickax from the
camp of Jim Robinson. Thar amt any
need of lawyers or witnesses, fur | saw the
critter myself as he cum to town with the
tool on his shoulder. We are not goin to
ak why be stole it, kase that amt our biz
ness. Jim Robinson saw him when he
picked it up and fired three shots AFTER him
and never techcd ha'r, In one way this
court feels that she orter let that heather
go his way to pay off Jim fur bein SIGH
poor shot, and in another she can t furgit
that them heathens hey cum over to this
kentry to eat with chopsticks, work fur a
dollar day and bust up our relig US insti
tushuns. It's jest possible that the critter
mistook that pickax for mewl or bag
of flour, but that can't count in his favor.
Why he didn't hide the tool is nuthin to
this court nor the statoots of this territory.
What we hev got to look ut are the fact
that he stole it and that Jim Robinson

NO poOLING LEGISLATION.

1t appears that the efforts of the rail-
roads to secure pooling legislation by
this congress have been unavailing, the
house committee on commerce having
abandoned expectation of passing the
bill that has been pending before 1t. This
measure provides for permitting COM
peting lines of railroad to enter into
pooling arrangements. subject to the
commission. 1t was carefully drawn
with reference to guarding against un-
reasonable charges by the railroads and
had the approval of the commission. Its
advocates urged that it could not in
operation work any disadvantage to
shippers, while it would be of benefit
to the carriers in preventing ruinous
rate cutting.
There Is so strong an opposition In
congress, however, to such legislation
that prolonged fight against the bill, if
it were brought up, was assured and
this probably decided the committee not
to report it, as is implied by the dis
those business men-and they are nu-
merous-who believe that 1t would be
n mistake to depart from the anti-pool-
ing provision of the interstate commerce
law, which they regard as the most valu-
able feature of that act

SPANISH CONCESSIONS.

1t is to be hoped the report is well
founded that on the recurrence of the
kings saint day" the Spanish govern
ment will give full pardon TO all political
prisoners in Cuban jails. Such an act
of clemency would receive the hearty
cOmmendation of the civilized world and
would serve to create n confidence not
now generally felt in the reported inten-
ton of Spain to inaugurate a policy of
reforms in her colonial possessions. 1t
would carry some assurance that the
Spanish government Is not altogether in
sensible or Indifferent to the sentiment
of civilized mankind regarding its treat
ment of the Cuban people. Certainly it
will not be TO the disadvantage of that
government in the public opinion of this
country If it shall give freedom to the
Americans imprisoned in Cuba.
AS to the proposed reforms in Cuba
and Porto Rico, it is questionable
whether they will be put into effect to
the extent said to be contemplated.
Spain has before promised reforms and
did not keep the promise, so that there
is good ground for doubling her SINGER
ity now, The machinery of government
proposed for Cuba in 1885 creates II self
governing state, subject TO imperial SUI
perYision over taxation and expenditure,
but leaving to the qualified voters of the
island practically complete control Of all
their internal affairs. 1t is not contem-
plated, however, TO grant universal suf
frage, but existing provisions regarding
the qualifications Of voters may be some
what liberalized.
The Inauguration of n policy of this
kind before the insurrection broke out
might have ayerted the conflict, but its
promise now is not likely to have any
influence upon the insurgents They
have absolutely no confidence in any
