Mr.. A, w. Thompson, native of Bel
fast, is strongly supported for the Office
of receiver of the United States land Of
fee at Clayton, New Mexico. Should Mr..
Thompson fail to receive the appoint
ment he can but feel highly honored BY
the ttibutes Of the press of New Mexico
to his abilities and his standing as a man.
There is not dissenting voice among the
press of the whole Territory. The Clay
ton Enterprise says of Mr.. Thompson:
His support is such that he can hardly
sail to receive the appointment, which as
a Republican he justly deserves. He has
been resident of Union county since it's
birth, and interested in local politices for
some years. TWO years since he ran for
Treasurer of the county and later was
elected Secretary of the Republican Cen
trail Committee of this county-a position
he still holds. He is native of Belfast,
Maine; and comes honestly by his Republi-
can views We sincerely trust, as we have
before said, that President Mckinley will
place this portion OF responsibility in his
hands,

X-Ray on the Law Department of

food for thought.
You will find among the Law Facul-
ty some worthy of being called "Pro-
fessors;" then there are others.
trust it will be your pleasure to visit
the Law Department some Thursday
evening, when it opens in October and
you will be satisfied beyond doubt that

cial Paper" can only be understood bv
one who has superior knowledge or by
a mind reader. In tie recent gradual
ing class of 81, it is alleged that it was
necessary to graduate the whole class
regardless of passing examinations or
competency. And why for this7 Be-
cause there were three or more white
students who had failed to pass, and
meet the requirements of the Star
Chamber Law Faculty, so rather than
turn one of our own down, said they,
in "Negro Law Schoo'' we'll COM
promise with or colored constituency
and graduate all in the aforesaid class.

HOW GRANT SAVED TWO
NATIONS FROM WAR.

Hon. John Russell Young, former
United States Minister to China, re-
CARDS General Grants part in arrang-
ing a treaty of peace between China
and Japan as one of the shining
achievements of his career. Writing
Of "When Grant Went Round the
World" in the May LadieS Home
Journal Mr.. Young says Prince Kung,
then sort of Regent for China, in his
conversations at Peking with General
Grant, talked with earnestness upon
the relations between China and Japan.
This led to message from the Prince
to the Mikado, an extraordinary Incl
dent little known in the histories, and
the whole business in time to be so
managed by the General that war be-
tween the two nations was postponed.
"At Nikko, Japan, General Grant met
the Japanese Ministers who came by
the Mikado'S command to discuss
with him the message he had brought
from Prince Kung and Ii Hung Chang.
Count Ito, Secretary of the Interior,
Count Saigo, the Minister of War,
Count Inouye, Foreign Minister and
Mr.. Yoshida, the Japanese envoy to
Washington, composed the embassy.
They sat in little temple the after
noon sultry, a thunderstorm rattling
among the hills) and discussed the
issues. In the end was a letter ad-
dressed to Prince Kung and the Japan
ese Prime Minister, containing sugges-
tions which were accepted by both
Governments. 1t was basis of peace
not 20 be broken for many years. So
it will be seen that there were useful
days as well as days of pageantry in
Japan General Grant in time became
not alone the friend, but the compan-
ion of the MikaGo and his counsel
lors."
