THUS FAR WITH BIMETAL.
LISM

President Cleveland signed the inter-

terday and the measure is now law,
but the country is as far from bimetal-
lism as ever. 1t is doubtful whether
President Mckinley will name the
American members of the commission
until the tariff question is disposed of;
but. unless England changes her mind,
there would be no sense in holding a
conference, for France and Germany
have already expressed their opinion
that it would be unwise to attempt to
remonetize silver without Ergland's
cooperation. 1t is to England's inter-
est to hold the commercial world upon
the single gold standard basis, and
English statesmen are not the kind of
men to do what is not good for England.

redemption money they will have to get
it by opening the mipts of this country
to silver independently Of other nations.

Juan G0Entv,

Captain W. H. W. James returned yes
terday afternoon from trip to San Juan
county, where he has been engaged in in
specting and recognizing troop OF cav
airy belonging to the New Mexico mill
tie, and made up of citizens of the town
of Aztec.
Aztec has had a military company for
some time, but the enthusiasm which once
characterized the organization seems to
have died natural death, and for many
months no meetings for drill or other
purposes have been held.
Captain James had orders to either dis
band the company and ship it's outfit of
arms, uniforms, etc, to headquarters at
Santa Fe, or to organize new company
on basis of usefulness and activity. He
found the town DESTROYS of having a
military company, and possessing ample
material for such an organization, SO he
| proceeded to reorgauize, with As members
on the roll. Laurence Welsh will COM
mand the new organization which will be
known as troop @, First Battalion of
New Mexico cavalry, and the other officers
will be elected at a meeting to be held in a
few days, after which the new troop will
get down to work at once. The arms
uniforms, etc., are in first class condition
and Captain James is of the opinion that
the organization has the material for a
crack troop.
While waiting for the citizens of Aztec tc
make up their minds as to what they
wonld do in the matter of reorganization
Captain James paid visit to Farming
ton and inspected number of the fine
orchards and vineyards for which San
Juan county has become famous. He
says that the apple, peach, pear, grape
and plum yield for this season will be ex
ceptionally heavy. Fruit shipments this
year will be sent to market over the new
road between Pennington and Gallul
which has been about completed. This
will save the long haul of 40 miles ovel

route for all agricultural and horticul
tural shipments from San Juan county
