Philadelphia. Pa. Feb. 26--Ricardo
Ruiz DeGarrio or Ricardo Ruiz, as he
was lately known, and who is said to
have been beaten to death in Spanish
prison in Cuba, was an American citizen.
He was naturalized In this city. This
fact was alleged some time ago, and to-
day the record of his naturalization was
found in a prothonotary's office. Under
his fun name (Ricardo Ruiz DeUgarrio)
Ruiz declared his intention OF becoming a
citizen Of the United States on Dec. 10,
1877. and the final naturalization papers
were granted on Jan. 81 1880. When he
came to this country he called himself
simply Ruiz. lie was naturalized In open
court by Judge Thomas X. Flnletter, the
papers were regularly indexed under the
name of Ugarrio, and when the contro-
versy was begun over his nationality the
name Ruiz could not be found. The dis
covery to-day, however, removes all
doubts on the subject

There is undoubted evidences of
better times in nearly all channels
of business this broad country over,
Notwithstanding the fact that, cur
iously enough, too, there is a certain
class of people who do not want to
believe it. The PRESS believes these
people have taken a wrong position,
because of their preiudices, which is
detrimental to themselves. 1t may
be that some are disappointed be-
cause prosperity does not come rush
ing at us in cold chunks, but that
times are slowly and gradually inn
proving is absolutely certain, which
will in time be followed by general
industrial awakening. Courage and
good cheer will help it along SO much
faster that every man should use
both freely.

The Mexican silver dollar has
dropped to 40 cents. >AIill our silver
farmers bring in about two bushels
OF wheat for a Mexican dollar, and
then be satisfied to take 40 cents
worth of sugar, meat or dry goods
for that dollar? Well, hardly. And
vet with a Bryan law making As
cents worth of silver dollar, some
one must stand that 30 cents loss,
while the fellow who owns the silver
bullion gains that much. These
facts are becoming plain now to the
intelligent American people, even ifa
whole lot OF them did vote for free
silver before they had time to thor
oughly investigate it--all Of which
accounts for the passing OF the silver
wave.

Truths Told i'm a Few Words.

A child's respect for it's parent is
not secured by oyer-leniency any
more than over-severity.
A daughter should never seek nor
be allowed to ''outdress" her moth
er. In every family the mother
should be the best-dressed member.
The discarded finery OF q daughter
should never constitute a mothers
wardrobe. No one feels especially
dignifed in the presence OF one whose
old clothes she is wearing, and IL
mother should at all times preserve
her dignity before her children. The
mother who never loses her queenli-
ness Will never lose her crowl.
Preventable misfortunes consist,
chiefly, OF manifold things, little to
do, but immense things to have done.
The man who earns one dollarand
spends two, and the man who earns
two and spends one, stands on either
side of the hair-line between needless
ness and discretion, between ruin and
safety.
Parants generally receive that
measure of filial respect they deserve
no always, perhaps, but very gen.
orally.
When q mother allows her daugh-
ter to appropriate her wraps, gloves,
wells, or other articles personal at
tire, she begins a policy OF famiiiari-
ty which, sooner or later breeds con-
tempt. A respect for ones belong
ings engenders n respect tor their
possesser.-August Ladies Hone

The new tariff bill suits north
western farmers, and it's operations
will undoubtedly be beneficial. Our
democratic and free trade friends
have always claimed that farmers
received no protection for. their pro-
ducts, but they can not longer sub
stantiate such a claim. Under the
new republican lawpotatoes brought
into this country from any other
must paw a duty OF % cents a bush
el hay 81 per ton, eggs , cents per
dozen, hides 15 per cent, butter .
cents a pound, wheat 20 cents per
bushel, ordinary horses $50 head,
cattle SO to 1915 per head, barley
80 cents per bushel, oats 10 cents,
and so on down the list of farm pro-
ducts. AS the PRESS said last year,
this protective tariff law will do far
more for the American people than
ony free silver law could possibly do.
II is an industrial policy that pro-
tacts labor and labor's product.
And the PRESS is pleased to note
that some of our intelligent Hand
county farmers, who were temporarl-
" blinded by the silver excitement
now see and cordially admit their
mistake. This is the usual result
where men will 4ay aside their pre!u-
dice and honestly think the matter
out for themselves.

To ALL The death of an individ-
ual, however prominent, matters
very little except to few immediate
friends and relatives. The few who
suffer loss are nothing to the millions
who, not knowing the deceased, feei
no poignant grief at his departure.
If all | have ever written before is
false, this at least is true and true
universally. Viewed from inside our
own hearts, some OF US feel pulled up
with Importance viewed from with
out we are onl Y units int vastcrowd,
each unit living its life and then per-
ishing, unmourned and uncared for
by most of the units around. The
only thing ofinterest to the surviv-
ors is the record of things done. The
trees we plant live after us and
shelter generations that follow; the
crops we grow feed other mouths
than ours; our deeds, good or bad,
do live on; the good is not inferred
with our bones" Things done and
not merely dreamed about are the
things that make us have interest
for our fellow creatures. And these
works must be done without eXpecta-
ton of full recognition. An Offering
of precious service to the world is and
must be largely impersonal, for
though our deeds may be widespread, /,
our own individuality is known to
but few. This is as it is with our
rulers. We know them as names
only, impersonal they remain always
until we see them.

To RISING ONEs:-It is delight III
sensation to rise in the world: to
have the few who thrust out the
tongue at you, humblpd in the dust:
to have the many dazzled at your
accomplishments. But, il dazzling
or despite lurk in your heart as the
great pain of rising, you have missed
the grandest pleasure Of power. He
who actually hampers himself in
order that Others may be upllfted is
greater than he who moves upward
alone. The hampered one sets other
forces at work, the credit OF which is
really his. The imperious, cold
hearted one stands alone. When he
ends, his power ends, and he leaves
no beneficiaries behind him to carry
on their work along lines to which he
first gave the impulse in their hearts.

To The AMBITIOUs:-Viewed from
a selfish standpoint, there is nothing
So helpful as struggle in attaining an
ambition. Just think what crowd
there would be at the top, if the
mountain of purpose were bored for
a safety elevator like some Of the Al
pine SUBMITS. But Just because
there is no beaten track but only
hardships and chilling greverses, there
is and always will be room for those
who are successful. The strenuous
effort that a writer has put forth,
for instance; the delays in recogni-
ton: the pittance of pay. All these
continue year after year, wear out
the feeble-hearted and give larger
field for the hearted who, even if
unsuccessful at first, out of their fail
ures get strength for later successes.

To CROAKERs If the balloonist
now drifting across the frigid north
asserted that his beloved homeland
did not exist, for the reason that it
was out of sight, he would not be
more unreasonable than we who de-
eide the world to be retrogading and
worthless as q whole, Just because we,
ourselves, are retrograding or our
outlook is cheerless. The world is
wide and the view OF any one person
narrow. Because, perhaps, for Us
there is no good thing at this mo-
ment we may even deny blasphe-
mously that there is sunshine for
anybody, for we try to believe only
in those things we see. We see self
ishness but we do not see farenough,
for there is much else in the world
that is better: we see immortality
near us but we must be blind if we
conclude, therefore. that all women
or all men or both are plunged in a
seething cabdron of vice. Take a
broad view of life, and despite mur-
ders, rapine. cruelty. you will be con-
vinced the hands OF time moye for
ward. Bear in mind to your comfort
that the things OF good are ever
uuieter than the things OF evil, and
yet as the quiet river erodes the land
more nightly and effectually than
volcanic outbreaks, so these quiet
elements of humanity are working
our whole selves ever upward, despite
the crashing noises OF downward
tendencies.
