A. L. Morrison, the newly appointed col
leotor of internal revenue, was born in Ire
land sc years ago and emigrated to America
while yet a boy. Learned the trade Of
chainmaking in New York. Volunteered
in the Second regiment of infantry New
York volunteers and served in the Mexi-
can war. Returned with his regiment to
New Orleans, where he was honorably
discharged and returned to New York,
soon after removing to Troy, N. Y, where
he married his present wife in 1851. Four
years afterward the young couple re-
moved to Chicago where five boys and
two girls were born to them While en-
gagged at his trade MIR. Morrison read law
and was admitted to the bar, subsequent
ly he was elected to the Illinois legisla-
ture and as member of that body he
voted for General John A. Logan for U.
s, senator. While attending to his legis-
islativs duties and without solicitation
on his part he was elected collector of
taxes for west Chicago and served two
terms. He also was police Justice in the
city of Chicago for several years. In
1882 Mr.. Morrison was appointed U. s.
marshal of New Mexico by President Ar
thur and subsequently served as register
of the land Office under President Harri-
son.
1t is hardly necessary to say that the
sub ject of this sketch is a sturdy, uncom.
promising Republican and ardent pro
tectionist. Mr., Morrison has been en-.
gagged by the Republican national COM
mittees in every presidential campaign
since the war, including the last, where in
addition to being appointed manager Of
] the Mckinley anti-convention movement
in New Mexico by Mr.. Hanna, he was en-
gagged in the active work of the cam paign
I for two months in Michigan, Indiana, and
| Illinois.
Mr., Morrison has filled every officia
| station he has held, With credit and Ell
cheney. He is a straightforward, honora
BILE and conscientious man, we'll known
throughout the territory and highly re
spected.
His many warm friends throughout this
territory and Arizona are greatly graft
fed at his selection and the people OF
New Mexico generally are much pleased
believing that bette, appointment could
not have been made.

The land department of the Santa Fe
railroad company announces that the
sales of lands during the past six months
greatly exceeded the sales for the same
length of time in other years, and almost
reached the total sales for all of last year.
"The sales made so far this year have
been heavy said Land Commissioner
Frost of the Santa Fe, "when compared
with the sales of recent years. With few
exceptions the sales made were in the
grazing districts and grazing will be
carried on more extensively IN the south
west than ever before since that territory
was devoted exclusively to grazing"

CAPTAIN NoRDsTRoM, acting agent OF
the Pueblo and Jicarilla agency in re-
port recently submitted to the commits.
sioner of Indian affairs in Washington
thinks that the custom of Indian dancing
among the Indians under his charge is
pernicious in the extreme and ought to
be forbidden and abolished. Captain
Nordstrom is absolutely right, but he
might go further and recommend that
the Pueblo and Jicarilla Indians be com.
PEELED TO wear civilized clothing. The
blanket and the breech clout ought to

inches and gathered as close as possible
to the collar under steel buckles. At the
waist it bulges slightly over buckles a

spread. In front this drapery extends

The only reason that those who pretend
to be opposed to statehood for New
Mexico can scare up, is that under state
hood, boodlers would have freer scope
for action, than under the present terri
torial government. Of course this ia
pure nonsense and wholly unworthy of
attempted refutation by means of logical
or reasonable argument. The best men,
the men who have made New Mexico
what it is today, are unit for statehood,
and the socalled opposition is hardly
worthy of notice coming as it does,
to large extent, from a few
mossbacks and back numbers who are
contented TO jog along in the same old
ruts. To such men enterprise, prog
rsss, push and energy are like red flag
waved in the face of bull. In cities
they are denominated silurians, and are
always to be found opposing the opening
Of new streets, and in fact any enterprise
at all that progressive citizens favor.
They like old methods, old buildings and
old things generally, and have strong
affinity for anything that is ancient and
Undiscovered. II is safe enough to as
SORT that In the case at issue their wishes
will not be respected. New Mexico must
be admitted to statehood. The people of
Tho territory demand 1t, and they will be
satisfied with nothing less.

Mr.. BRYAN has evidently been putting
his boom to rest by his recent talks. He
has travelled too much and talked too
much and made himself monotonous.
The people who gathered to hear him at
Charlottesville, Va, the university found
ed by Jefferson, found him raw and te-
dlous and tiresome. His California au-
diences were disappointed, save SO far as
Bryan has become very stale. He has not
got the intellectual force or the informa-
tion to carry on movement as he has
undertaken to 90. His mind is as dull as
his voice is husky, and the twaddle he
gets off about silver is ludicrous.

MRS. TUT BOFFIN'S PARTY.
The German Lady Was Not Invited and
Spoiled the Social Function.


Spoiled the Social Function.
When little Mrs Tut Boflin, recently
married, moved into tho Misery flats, she
arranged to give an impressive social func-
ton. That affair was to have taken place
last night, but grand coup by the lone
German lady who lives in the basement
caused an indefinite postponement of the
party. Still Mrs. Botfin is not sorry that
she neglected to invite the spiteful, mean
creature. So there, now!
The main idea of the party was to i'm
press the other flatters with tho impor-
lance of the Boffins and their social con-
nections. Little Mrs Tut had a sort Of
catch as catch can acquaintance with
millionaire contractor who lived in his
own house on the corner, and he was Ju-
diciously billed as the lion of the evening.
The man who reyels in whole house Is
regarded with mingled feelings of venera-
ton and respect by fat jewellers every
where and on their account the diplomatic
Mrs. Boffin invited the entire population
of the Misery flats with the exception OF
the German lady in the basement. There
was no special reason for overlooking this
estimable person, nor could the Botfns
conjure up an excuse for asking her to the
feast. So they totally ignored the German
lady.
"Once l will even get NIT her, alretty
yet " murmured the sighted one as tales
of vast preparation on the top floor were
carried to her by considerable flatters who
had been invited.
AS the hour for the function drew near
last night an aroma of back number sauer-
kraut, hot and steaming, filtered through
the building The odor came in fleecy,
| greasy banks like fog and hung dripping
from balustrades and walls. The hall
lights blinked dimly in the suffoCating
mist and the flatters gasped and choked in
their rooms.
One by one the outside guests arrived
and fought their way upward flight by
flight, but none Of them reached the Botfin
apartments on the top floor. The million
aire contractor did struggle to the landing,
but got stuck in the stencil which was SO
dense between the ceiling and the floor as
to be almost visible to the naked eye
With stifled wall the millionaire faint
ed dead away and was rescued by couple
Of robust fatters, who said it was an out
rage and shame that Mrs. Boffin, after
all her boating and swell pretensions,
should invite decent people to a sauerkraut
banquet and then cook the beasty stuff in
her own rooms 1t was perfectly ridiculous.
Not single card was presented at the
Botlin portal. The preliminary symptoms
in the hall threw off such flavor that the
guests fled In horror. All that night poor
little Mrs. Tut wept and tore her hair and
moaned.
ooh, that awful Dutchwoman in the
basement! Wouldn't like to pitch her
head first into her own vile sauerkraut pot!
The wretch Oh! Oil OH"
Down in the basement the vindictive
German lady lifted the deadly pot from the
stove and chuckled

THERE has been a demand created for
gold by the increased use of that metal as
the standard of value, and the demand is
being supplied from South Africa, Colo
RADIO, California and Australia. More
real money is now being added to the
worlds stock in gold alone than formerly
in gold and silver together. Of course,
we speak of value according to the mar
kets. The gold discoveries on the Yukon
are richer in realization than the first
marvels that mate rialized in the returns
from California. We shall have the gold
cure for hard times.

SENATOR TELLER says of the holding
up of the battleships by the silver trust
and the free trade theorists, that he does
not care whether those ships are ever
finished or not. The utterance is very, to
say the least, nnbecoming. Senator Teller
would hold up the whole country for the
sake of using the government to bull the
silver market. The senator who lives 1000
miles from the sea, and opposes navy
adequate to represent our power, is un-
patriotic, and if he presents the silver
question: as an excuse, he becomes an OBJ
ject of suspicion.

THE SALT LAKE CELEBRATION.

Salt Lake City is in the throes OF big
celebration in honor of Brigham Young,
the leading event of the first day of the
jubiation being the dwelling of monu-
ment to the great apostle of Mormonism.
Brigham Young was great man in his
way, a man of remarkable executive
ability, tenacity Of purpose, ingenuity of
resource, and man who must have pos
sessed other personal qualities of merit,
as is proved by the deep attachment of
his people to him and to his memory.
And yet over his record there hangs the
all-pervading fact, that while with one
hand ne was working to advance the world,
in the way of colonization and building,
with the other he was trying to turn it
backward. He attempted to resurrect
from long past ages custom which, like
slavery and serfdom, had it's proper or
rather unavoidable place in those crude
times-the practice of polygamy.
1t is not fair to attribute to Young and
his associates, as only their bitter assail-
ants have done, the purpose of resortlng
to polygamy through motives Of lechery
and qualification. Their motive had
q more direct and clear aim than this
the rapid building up and peopling of
little empire which, with lands of its own,
a religion of its own and an organization
of its own, should be Independent and
able to resist even the authority of the
United States.
To this end they did not scruple to de-
base woman to the level of beasts of the
farm fooks and herds.
And if it was right thus to debase woman
by recalling polygamy from the buried
centuries it would have been right to re-
habilitate slavery by their dictum.
The day was doubtless one of jollity at
Salt Lake, but there was one name which
perhaps nobody uttered-the name which
to Brigham Young was like that of We'll
lington to Napoleon, the name of his con-
queror and the conqueror of polygamy-
George F. Edmunds of Vermont.

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION,

The opposition to Hawaiian annexa-
ton in certain quarters is developing
disregard for truth, which it is charitable
to impute to ignorance.
In several newspapers that are either
anxious to please Mr.. Searles and Mr.. Have
meyer, or have not the advantage to
know what they are talking about, the
assertion ia frequently made that the
sugar trust is at the bottom of the an.
nexation project. That great combina-
tion does not seem at all adverse to Civ
ing the service of its own odium to the
advancement of its financial interests if
the end cannot otherwise be accom- plished.
The most powerful opponent of the Ha-
waiian annexation treaty is the sugar
trust, as it was but few weeks ago the
most active and influential advocate of
the abrogation of the reciprocity treaty.
The trust is at war with the sugar plant
ers of the islands, who are endeav oring
to escape from its clutches. The situa-
tion is this:
In 1892 the Hawaiian planters made q
contract with the trust to sell it all their
sugar for five years at San Francisco at
the New York market price, lees cent
a pound. The trust managed it 30 that
the San Francisco price was usually
higher than the New York price, making
the planters loss the difference between
the two, as we'll as the cent off. This
nefarious draw down of the trust has
amounted to 100000 annually, or &c.,
100000 since 1892. The planters have
refused to renew the contract, as they be.
lieve that with new independent refineries
and continued reciprocity or annexation
they can get the full value of their crops.
Hence the desire of the trust to abolish
reciprocity and to prevent annexation.
Moreover, with Hawaii part of the
United States, the islands would be en-
abled to send Us washed sugars that

quantity of the refined product of the
trust, and cut its profits still further.
The sugar monopolists are both greedy
and vengeful. Not only do they object
to the island planters wrestling them
selves free from spoliation, but they long
to punish them for their rebellion. Con.
sequently the sugar trust will kill the
annexation treaty if il can.
