CAPITOL REBUILDING.
foundations Being Laid That will
Endure Like the Rock OF Ages
Some significant Details.

A New MEXICAN scribe this morning
paid hurried visit to the scene of the
rebuilding of New Mexico's capitol build
ing in Santa Fe.
The manner in which the work has
progressed during the past ten days was
something of surprise to the ubi-
quitous reporter and even Colonel
Bergman was betrayed into admitting
that it seemed to be "good work, true
work, Just such work as the builders re-
qure,"
Clearly the foundations of New Mex
ico's new capitol are being laid so deep
and strong and massive that nothing
short of an earthquake will stir them.
When it is explained that these founda-
tions are planted on preparatory
preparation of concrete and cement, have
been dropped down about ten feet below
the ordinary level and are composed of
solid limestone, the intelligent reader
will have no difficulty in realizing that the
perstructure to be erected thereon will
not crack or crumble.
Finer and more enduring foundations
have never been laid west of the Missls-
sippi than those that will easily and COM
fortably support the massive walls of the
new capitol building. These foundation
facts would be amply sufficient to sustain
a ten story structure of steel and iron.
About 40 convicts are daily employed
upon this great work, with four or five
experts IN the stone and brick mason's
lines employed from the outside to direct
the same. Captain John G. Hull is in
charge of the conviots. Foreman Sal
mon watches each brick as it is put in
position, and Tom Davis does not permit
a stone to be laid until it has been
squared and numbered" and pronounced
good by "the builders"
The probabilities are that the founda-
tion of New Mexico's noble capitol build
ing will be completed In month or six
weeks, and, this vital part of the work
being completed in manner that will
afford no chance for criticism, the rear
ing of the substantial and beautiful su.
perstructure will be accomplished with
out delay or difficulty. 1t may be safely
added that the next legislative assembly
will enact laws in the new capitol build
ing.
Mr.. I. Fl. Rapp, architect in charge of
rebuilding the capitol, is entitled to much
credit for the faithful way in which he
has so far acquitted himself.

MAGNIFICENT TRAY OF GEMS
Twenty-Five Cut ana Polished Tnr.
quOis Exhibited in Santa Fe-
FauItless in COlOrs and
Texture.

The New MEXICAN yesterday made
brief mention of the magnificent tray Of
cut and polished turquois exhibited al
the jewelry store of s. Spitz by Mr.
Thomas Moore, the we'll known lapidary
and expert in this kind of jewels.
The collection consists of 25 different
ste nes, ranging in size from four carats
up to 81 carats. Several of them weigh
from 20 to 35 carats. The 5111 carat
stone is valued at $2,575, and the entire
collection is worth fully $4,000.
The colors of these gems are absolutely
perfect, being exactly the delicate and
shimmering shade of blue so much sought
after, and the texture thereof is almost as
fine as that of diamonds of the first
water.
Mr.. Moore declines for the present to
disclose the precise locality whence these
beautiful stones came, but does deny the
wired story that they came from Lincoln
county. He expects soon to receive some
more and probably larger stones from
the same source and then he promises the
NEW MEXICAN more details.
The stones above mentioned were ex-
pressed to Tiffany in New York last
night.

ABOUT HYDROPHOBIA.

At the conclusion Of an exhaustive
article on this subject, the editor Of our
animal Friends submits the following
excellent suggestions, which are specially
appropriate during these so.called "dog
days."
"We have said, and we repeat, that
hydrophobia is one of the rarest Of dis.
eases; and that when it appears to be
developed, we believe it, in the vast
majority OF cases, to be simulated
disease produced by morbid magma
tion. We do not 90 30 far as to assert
that it is ae0er caused by the bite Of
rabid animal; and therefore we would
advise that all proper care should be
taken to destroy, without delay, all
animals that are affected with rabies.
Yet, here again, we must recall the fact
that rabies itself is one Of the rareet Of
all the diseases with which dogs and
other animals are affected. When we
hear the cry Of Mad dogP the chances
are millions to one that the dog is not
mad; it is the people who are mad with
terror, When we read newspaper reports
of the appearance of mad dog here or
there, the chances ara enormously
against the truth Of the story. Yet
there is such disease as rabies; and
since there is no cure for it but death,
an animal which is really rabid ought to
be killed Immediately.
"We must remember, however, that
the symptoms ofrabies are not what they
are generally supposed to be. An
animal, for example, is not rabid because
it avoids water; the rsbid dog laps water
eagerly. So, a dog is not mad because
he froths at the mouth; whom he does so

PULLING WOOL OVER THEIR EYES

A ludicrous incident happened the
other day in the House of Representa-
tives at Washington. 1t appears that
the Democratic party has abandoned It's
"frse raw material" doctrine, and Mr..
Bailey Of Texas, the Democrat leader in
the House, was asked why he supported
the proposed duty on raw wool. His an
swer is thus reported:
"Never as long as I am in Congress
will vote to give the woolen msnufac-
turer so per cent. duty on his woolen
goods and charge him nothing upon his
WOOL"
This positive declaration, we are in
formed, was followed by prolonged ap-
plause." The applause doubtless came
because, from the manner Of putting the
statement, it would seem that Mr..
Bsiley's strong point was the taTjgg Of
the nlGnIfGctureT-that he did not pro-
pose to let the manufactures have so per
cent duty on his woolen goods without
making him pay something for it.
How easy 1t is sometimes to deceive
ones self, saying nothing about deceiv-
ing others, But Mr.. Bailey is too smart

THE THING CALLED CONFIDENCE.

The commercial agencies have been
basing their hopes Of an early return Of
prosperity on the general expectation
that, with the passage Of the tariff bill,
confidence in more stable conditions
would operate for the general good.
This was reasonable and altogether
proper. 1t is always we'll to note the
bright spots as we 90 along and snjoy
them.
BradStreet'S, which we regard as the
most reliable because best informed
among strictly commercial publications,
in it's latest review of the business situa-
tion, says, among other things:
"The widespread confidence that there
will be a marked revival in general trade
in the fall continues to grow, and with
it material evidence that it is we'll
founded. Il
"The worlds wheat crop outlook con.
tiDues to favor the United States much

"Unfsvorable features include the con-
tinuance of the strike OF bituminous coal
miners in the Western and Southern
States, which now begins to threaten the
continued activity of industries depend
ent upon that variety Of fuel, the practi-
cal stagnation OF the Bessemer pig iron

low as ever known, the shutting down OF

it is proof that he is not mad. The

a man not to know that a duty on wool
is not charged up to the manufacturer.
Whatever the duty on raw wool is, il is
added to what is intended for the manu-
facturer's benefit. 1t requires two and
a half to four pounds of raw wool to
make pound Of finished cloth, accord
ing TO grade and quality. II it be in
tended to give the manufacturer q pro-
lection Of so per cent. on his work, the
duty on cloth would be put high enough
to include the raw wool duty. To illus
trate: Say cloth is expected to be worth
81 pound, and four pounds of raw wool
are woven in it, the duty on which four
pounds is 40 cents. The duty levied on
the cloth, then, would be 80 Cents--50
cents on the manufacture alone and 40
cents on the raw wool.
1t was on that ground that Senator
PETER quarreled with the Democrats
during the debate on the Wilson bill,
which allowed 40 to so per cent. duty
on the manufacturers work but allowed
nothing on the farmers wool. He held
that the farmer who produces wool is as
much entitled to protection as the fac
tory man who makes it into cloth, and
he argued that il the farmer is not enti-
tied to protection the manufacturer is
not. and if the manufacturer is so enti-
tied, the farmer is likewise.
And this Dingley bill that Mr.. Bailey
was discussing contained provisions add
ing the raw wool duty to the amount of
protection which it is intended the man
ufacturer is to receive Here is a para
graph from the Dingley bill as it passed
the House, "On blankets and fiannels for
underwear composed wholly or in part
Of wool, valued at not more than thirty
cents per pound, the duty per pound
shall be the same as the duty imposed
by this act on one pound and one half OF
unwashed wool Of the first class, and in
addition thereto five cents per pound
and fifteen per centum Gd 0GIOTem.
This additional duty is known as "com
pensatory" duty. 1t is to compensate
the manufacturer for any addition to the
price Of wool occasioned by the duty on it.

EnsIoN A TWo.EDGED SWORD.

"Cyclone" Davis has fight on his
hands and it is among his old-time
friends The Southern Mercury charges
him with disloyalty to the Populist
party, and he reaches for the Mercury
Texas fashion. He says "The Mercury
folks are loud and strong against fusion,
yet last spring, months before the st,
Louis Convention, arranged a complete
fusion in Dallas County with gold.bug
Republicans and bankers to run fusion
county ticket against the organized
Democracy, and Mr.. Tracy, one Of the
editors, was on the fusion committee,
Tracy was also member of our State
plenary committee, consisting Of Tracy,
Marion Williams and j. M. MalIett.
Tracy and Williams were in favor Of
making an official fusion with the Re-
publicans in Texas, and had the terms
written out and agreed to at the Repub-
lican State Convention in Fort Worth,
and, for two days and nights, tried to
get Mallett to sign them. But Mallett's
part of the State was opposed to it and
he would not sign it, but so far as Will
liams and Tracy could carry it, the fusion
was made, and Marion Williams is now
an applicant for the postoffice at Austin,
urging his co operation in this matter as
recommendation to Mckinley"
Going outside the State for further
evidence, he says: alabama had a
State fusion ticket with three Republi.
cans on it when Bryan was nominated.
Louisiana had complete fusion with
the Republicans in her State just prior
to our National Convention"
Coming back 10 Texas, he let's this
drop: "There we're $4,000 gold Demo
Gratis and Republicans voted our State
ticket, and $4,000 true loyal Populists in
Texas voted for Mckinley under the
fusion arrangements led by Harry Tracy
and Marion Williams. Now why don't
the Mercury expose and condemn all
those if it is simply fusion that it ights?"
This fusion business is a two-edged
sword-it cuts both ways. 1t helps two
opposing bodies and lowers the standard
of political morals. We see but one way
to check the evil--for it is growing, and
that is to organize in one great National
body all elements opposed to the present
gold standard regime.

CONCERNING SILVER CERTIFICATES.

tary Of the Treasury. 1t is stated that
this supply will be mostly Of the smaller
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES twos, tives and
tens-and will be sufficient for the needs
OF the treasury for period OF about
three months, covering the usual large
demand for small bills to be used in the
movement Of crops.
The curious reader will woncer why
the Secretary needs or wants any Del0
treasury notes when he is not now pur-
chasing any silver to be paid for with
treasury notes. The Sherman law which
authorized such purchases was repealed
four years ago.
And the same curious reader will won
der why the Secretary wants or needs
any new silver certificates " hen he, as an
officer Of the Government, is not author
lied to deposit silver dollars and issue to
himself certificates Of deposit. The Ian
guage of the law is this: "That any
holder of the coin authorized by this act
may deposit the same with the Treasurer
or any Assistant Treasurer Of the United
States and receive therefor certificates >
etc. The latest report we have at hand
June 30 last) shows the number Of silver
dollars in the treasury to be 399,99254O,
Of which number only 81, ,379, $50 were not
covered by certificates already issued.
Why are S1O4,OOO,O0O worth Of new
certificates and treasury notes to be
printed when there are only 3l,379,930
silver dollars to be covered and they not
in the hands of individual persons at all,
but lying in the treasury, and no pur-
chases of silver to be made?
The explanation is easy. When the
free coinage bill was under discussion in
Congress and among the people in 1878,
Secretary John Sherman was in the
midst of his resumption scheme. He had
contracted with a syndicate Of bankers,
brokers and spectators (Seligman, Nor
gan, Belmont, Morton, Bliss, Rothschild,
and their associates) to sell them bonds
for gold coin. Large amounts Of the
bonds were then in London, and Mr.. S.
F. ConRnt, Treasury agent, was there
to assist the syndicate in "plRcing" the
bonds. The silver discussion frightened
the syndicate and that frightened the
Secretary and the President and their
friends in Senate and House, and the
Bland free coinage bill finally came out
as the Bland Allison act, entitled "An
act to authorize the coinage of the stand
ard silver dollar and to restore it's legal
tender character"
The act authorized the purchase and
coinage of $2OO,O0O,O 600 worth of silver
bullion a month; also authorized holders
of the dollars to deposit them and receive
certificates for them. And in order, as
far as possible, to prevent competition Of
these silver dollars with the gold coin
being and to be furnished by the syndi-
cate, they were made legal tender only
when not "otherwise expressly stipu-
lated in the contract;" and the certif,
Gates were not made legal tender at ALL
