The dyspeptic carries a dreadful load
on his back. 1t seems as if he were
really made up of two men. One Of
them ambitious, brainy and energetic;
the other sick, listless, peevish and with
out force. The weak man weighs the
other one down. The dyspeptIc may be
able to do pretty good work one day,
and the next day. because of some little
lndiscretion in eating, he may be able to
do nothing at all, Most cases Of -dys-
pepsia start with constipation. Consti.
patton is the cause of nine-tenths CT all
human sickness. Some Of its symptoms
are sick and bilious headache, dizziness
sour stomach, loss of appetite, foul
breath, windy belchings, heartburn,
pain and distress after eating. All these
are indicative of arrangements of the liv-
er, stomach and bowels, and are caused
by constipation DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets are the quickest, easiest and most
certain cure for this condition. They are
not violent in action.

On tne otner manu-, IL ID Claimed by
the same few newspapers that the need
of a compilation of the present amhig-
nous Territorial laws is SC apparent,
that it is difficult to understand how
opposition a be generated in any
quarter. The necessity for such COM
pilation is urgent and one Of the press.
ing demands OF the hour.
1t IL certainly no credit to the Terri.
tory, that such a condition of affairs
exists-a condition, by the way, to be
found in no other state or Territory OF
The American union.
Under the circumstances, how are
we to expect q wise and intelligent ad-
ministration of the lawsP How are we
to know what is law, and what is not,
from an xtmination of the worse than
badIy-muddled statutes. as they nov
existP
The OPTIC would answer, with Judge
Hewitt: By a thorough revision OF the
lawsl However, this paper is not Of
the kind that base their objection to
the compilation of the present laws on
the fact that they are not to have q
hand in the work. They would cry
down a measure because, forsooth, a
neighboring journal will be benefited
to the extent OF a few hundred dollars,
for doing a little printing. Out upon
such narrow-minded, selfshness and
craven back-biting. III the measure is
M Of public utility, and it is decided
SO to be, let it become a law, and that
at once. II is not q question OF cost,
in a case Of this kind, though the ex
pence of the work should of course be
made as slight as possible.
The constituents OF the gentlemen
now assembled at Santa Fe, for the
purpose Of providing laws for the
general interest OF the Territory, are
expected to act honestly and intel
ligently for at least a revision Of the
laws, and enact such a measure as will
preclude the possibility in the future,
Of the costly blunders that have arisen,
from time to time in the past, as a
direct result Of the muddled, unintel-
ligible and incomprehensible condition
OF existing statutes.

" THE LAWS.

Judge John Y. Hewitt is right in his
newspaper, the White Oaks Eagle, IN
insisting that the laws OF New Mexico
should be revised, the matter Of their
compilation being let severely alone for
the present.
He says:
A few of the newspapers are advocat-
ing the compilation" Of the Territorial
statutes. Just why the stuff now on our
statute books should be again compiled,
these advocates do not tell Us. The whole
system should be cleanssd by a complete
revision Of our laws. The reputation OF
New Mexico demands such a revision and
II the legislation Of the past forty years
could be hidden, our chances for statehood
would DO largely improved. No compiIa-
tion for us.

CHINESE MINERS
To Take the Place of Americans in
Illinois

CHICAGO, Nov. THE Times-Her-
aid says Chinese coal miners are to
take the place Of the Americans in the
Northern Illinois district. An attempt
will be made to break the strike that
exists, and 500 skilled Celestials have
been picked for the work.
They will all bear arms, live inside
gatling gun equipped stockade, and be
body guarded by 100 former Chicago po-
licemen. An agent of the Chinese Six
companies was in Chicago last week
and made a contract with the Washing
ton Coal company to deliver the 500
Chinese at the mines of the Wilmington
Braidwood district The first consign-
ment of 200 will arrive next Tuesday,
and the others will be on hand as soon
as provision can be made to take care of
them. Arrangements for an additional
1000 Chinese miners have been made
conditional on the success of the first
venture.
Elaborate preparations have been
completed to take care of the first 500
Chinese and give them ample protec-

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Nov. "A
special from st. Augustine to the Times
and Citizen says: The Hotel San Marco,
one of the finest and most commodious in
this city, was burned to the ground this
morning. entailing loss of $250,000, with
less than $4,000 insurance. 1t was few
minutes past o'clock this morning
when Jake Masters. from the Ontagus
residence, discovered fire in the boiler
room OF the San Marco hotel. He imme-
diately fired a pistol and notified Ed
ward Mcbride, who has charge of the
property and who lives in the hotel. An
alarm was Immediately sounded. 1t
was found that incendiaries had cut the
llrebell rope and steam whistles had to
be resorted to.
Those who gathered at the first call
did not wait for the engines and hose,
out attached the hotel hose to the we'll
on the grounds and commenced the fight.
One engine reached the scene, but it's
work was delayed owing, presumably,
TO the firebugs having cut holes in the
suction pipes which supply water from.
the hydrant and in screwing up the
couplings 81 t!SIit tiidl tllilS was IoSt ia
looSening them.
The flames spread from the woodshed
and boiler room to the kitchen, then to
the dining room and theater. These
structures were four stories high and to
The west of it, but connected with the
main building, which was six stories
high. with towers in the center and on
each wing. Hundreds of men assisted
in removing the furniture from the main
floor and large quantity was taken out,
the main floor being almost entirely bare
before the fire drove the workers away
1t was not until the flames set fire to
the main building that the burning
structure presented its most awful yet
fascinating picture. The blaze not only
illuminated the entire city, but could be
seen for miles around. In few hours
the structure was reduced to embers.
The owner of the San Marco was Will
liam Beale, real estate dealer in Bos-
ton. and was leased to Mcdowell &
Palmer, and would have been open next
month.
Fearing further incendiarism, those in
charge of the Hotel Ponce de Leon have
ordered steam up constantly to furnish
water pressure at moments notice.
The citizens of the city have offered $500
reward for the capture of the incendia-
rieS.
