 Dr. ". B. Phillips rendered his resig- nation as a membsr of dhe committee from private reasons. The resignation was not accepted, but he was allowed to resign from the subcommittee having in charge the matter for the pamphlet. and w. T. Underwood was named to fill the vacancy.
 There was much discussion over the reading of MT. Shocks report before the general committee. This report embodied the cost of iI'on and steel making, and it was argued by some that 1t would be ob- jeated to by members who wene interest ed in companies engaged in the manu- fracture of iron and sIteel.
 In this connection Chairman Aldrich of the commltte on this question said that some one had to take the responsibility for this reporG, that there would be ob- jections on the pant of those interested in iroa and steel making. He we'll knew. but he Ahought iG wrcng to force the sub- committee to bear the whole brunt, and he wanted the report read before the general committee and such changes made as were Hlought proper.
 There were many objections to this and it was finally decided that the sub- committee should be empowered to edit the copy and have it published without further recourse to the general commit tee. This adroitly ended the discus sion.
 Letters were read from prominent of- ficials of railroads offeling any service they could render in assisting Birming- ham to entertain the beard.

 OF MERCHANDISING

Reduces the cost of handling goods to the lowest possible minimum. Our goods arc continually on the move-hence we have no old, epideuic-breeding goods or hard stock on hand, and we sell every kind of goods you can possibly need, thus saving you the worry and trouble of running all over town to do a little shopping.

Prime rlinister of Spain Murdered.

Senior Canovas del Castillo, the
Prime Minister ofSpain. was assas-
sinated Sunday at Santa Agueda by
an anarchist.
The murderer fired three shots, two
OF which struck the Premier in the
head and another in the chest. The
wounded man fell near his wife, who
was with him, fingered unconscious
for two hours. The assassin was
arrested Immediately. He is a Ne
apolitan and gave the name OF
Rinaldi, but his real name is proba-
bly, Michele Angine Coli. The muir
derer declares that he killed Senior
Canovas "in the accomplishment OF
a Just vengeance, and that the deed
is the outcome OF a vast anarchist
conspiracy. The Premier went to
Santa Agueda last week Thursday to
take a three weeks course of the
baths, after which he expected to
return to San Sebastian to meet
United States Minister Woodford
when the latter was officially received
by the Queen Regent.

The Situation Better.

"Bradstreets," which is recognized
as most conservative publication,
summarizes the business situation:
II. That the crops are good.
"2. That the price of wheat and
cotton has so greatly advanced as to
pour scores of millions ofdolars into
the laps of the farmers, while the
price of other staples has advanced
in sympathy with these.
"3. That short crops in Europe,
India, and Argentina assure a con-
tinuance of these high prices during
the market season.
a That merchants everywhere
are replenishing their stocks of goods
as they have not done for several
years past.
rs. That in consequence railroad
earnings every where show improve
ment.
&c. That there are already signs
OF revival in industry, the manufac-
turers beginning to anticipate the
new demand Tor goods.
so. That our exports for the last
year have been so enormously in
excess of our imports as to make us
very heavily a creditor nation-a con
dition that does not guarantee pros
perity but tends strongly to help it
"S. That there is everywhere
among the farmers feeling of hope
fitness which has not existed for sew
eral years past"

KlOndike Gold.

1t was silver last year, it is gold
this. Every dog has his day, and
just now gold seems to be on top.
No one will object if the silver miner
can see clearly his way to profit in
the gold mines. 1t is the stuff he can
find market for without govern
ment interference. He complains
that his mills, where they are, with
silver at as cents to the dollar,
gained slowly. In the Klondike, if
the tales that are told OF it are only
half true, they will grind fast and
well, and their product will be worth
every day 100 cents to the dollar.
He can depend upon that, though
his rations are short, and the tenn
perature hanging around-700.

Shameful.

A shameless man out west, who
shall be nameless here, has taken
upon himself the miserable business
OF haunting eastern investors about
the wretched condition of their hold
ings in his state, and, indeed,
throughout many other states. He
has the impudence to say: 1--WE are
willing that you should own and
control the property which was ours
and in which your money is in
vested, but when you attempt to
force upon us your financial policy,
your politics and your religion, we
object. You may own and control
the property but not us! Here we
draw the line" And this he says
directly after implying that the west
will see to it that the bulk OF the bur-
den of taxation shall fall upon the
properties IN which the eastern inves.
tor interested and that the eastern
investor can have no redress against
the jobs and steals going on out
there, for the simplestof all reasons, he
has no voice in the framing and en-.
torcement of western laws.
1t is past belief that such denuncia-
ton can truth'uly reflect the honest
sentiment OF majority of the people
of the plains. With the bountiiul
harvests now being gathered there
a vigorous protest against such
demoralizing and insane vaporings
ought to go out from the real friends
and upbuilders of the great empire O
the west, for this man, it is evident
is neither wise friend nor an empire
builder.

Prosperity.

An English statesman used to say,
at a time when England had to
depend much more than now upon
her own grain production, that no
ministry could hope to survive two
bad wheat harvests. The price of
wheat and its abundance are just
now lifting the farmers courage and
his mortgages, and one might reason.
ably think the western demagogue
and calamity bowler will find, for
the rest of the year, poor soil in
which to scatter the seeds of his
philosophy. With great harvests,
good markets and plenty of talk
about Alaska's gold, our friends, the
prophets OF silver, do seem to be edg
ing of toward the back seats. Next

sas and Colorodo papers pipe up in
the presence of bountiful harvests.
Silver isn't in it at all. The bank
examiner OF Kansas says that her
farmers, merchants and live stock
men were never in better condition.
Her wheat crop is the largest since
'92 and her corn crop will beat the
record. More gold is being produced
in Colorado than ever before; it's
fruit crop is bountiful, and agricul-
ture generally is in a prosperous
stage. If western people have made
some discoveries to their advantage,
the East is heartily glad otit. Let
us hear no more to the discredlt OF
eastern money-changers.

The corn crop is unusually large
and the price is high, so also is the
price of pork high. The hopes of the
farmer are also high. The cotton
crop is large and ripening satisfac-
torily. Cotton is worth a cent
pound more than it was last year.
and this means $40, 100000 more in
the pockets OF the cotton planters.
The wheat crop is one OF the greatest
ever known, and it is worth 20 cents
more than a year ago. Surely the
farmer has reason to rejoice and
with him the rest of the country, for
whom he has money there is a
demand for goods in all lines and
business begins to pick up.

doubled in fifty years, the proportion OF
that gold which has been turned into
coin has also been doubled, thus making
the gold money Of the world four times
as much for each individual as it was
fifty years ago.
The increase of gold, coupled with the
increase in the percentage of that metal
which is coined, is one of the most i'm
portant facts to be taken into considera-
tionin the determination of the cause OF
the falling off of the demand for silver
and consequent falling off in its price.

Senior del Castillo, the prime minister

queen regents court and to all Spain.
He was man of marked ability and

anger against the wretches who, as

struction.

The rumor that the life Of the daughter Of

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY.
SATURDAY EVENING. OCT. %, 1897.
A PRETTY kErrLE OF FISH.

Private information from Santa Fe
states that the jim crow politicians,
who are running the city administra-
tion over there are involved in an ugly
fracas that bodies no good for the sue
cess of Mayor Spiess' administration
1t appears that there has been no meet
ing of the city council for months
in fact, not since Mayor Spiess and
Alderman Solignac, president OF thu
council, came so nearly clubbing one
another over the head with chairs, and
that now, in the absences of Mayor
Spiess, acting-Mayor Solignao has sus-
pended the city marshal from duty,
owing to alleged gross abuse of his
Official powers in making arrests.
Now this city marshal is no less a
parsonage than Ricardo Alarid, one OF
the brothers OF the four men
executed at Santa Fe, las,
April, for numerous crimes, and it
is said that the common people OF
Santa Fe, regardless of politics, are
rather glad that acting-Mayor Solignac
has had the courage and decency to do
all that is in his power to undo the
outrageous action Of Mayor Spiess in
appointing this man city, marshal.
And on the whole, il reports are true,
it seems that Spiess has about reached
the end of his political tether over
there-indeed, even the hide. bound
-NeW Mexican calls upon him to either
do better or resign; and it is said that
a move to disincorporate the ancient
village is being seriously discussed.
