SOME GOOD SCORES
Sharpshooters Record for
Past Two Months.
Chance for Picked Men to Send
Challenge - This Team
Will Accept.

Owing to the crowded condition of
the columns of the newspapers during
December, it was impossible TO pub
lish the scores made by the Sharp
shooters during the month of Novem-
Der. Today the scores of 80 men for
November and December are given.
The showing is good enough to tempt
some of the crack shots in the Ma
tional Guard here, or abroad, to send
in a challenge. 1t is understood that
the team is ready to hear from any
other of 10 TO 80 men.

Gen. William F. Draper, whose APP

ness At 10 he enlisted in the war of
the Rebellion and served with distinc-
ton and had command Of a brigade in
the Army of the Potomac, was wounded
at the battle of the Wilderness and was
brevetted brigadier general when mus
tered out. After the war he entered
upon the manufacture of cotton ma
chinery and has made a large number
of valuable inventions. It is said that
the cost of cotton machinery has been
reduced one-half and the production
doubled by reason Of his improvements.
He has written many valuable articles
on technical subjects, has made a
thorough study of the tariff and has
twice been president Of the Home Mar
ket club of which his father was the
founder. He has served two terms in
Congress. He is in every way qualified
for the position.

Reappoinlment Of Judge Whitehouse.
Secretary OF State.

The reappontment of Judge White
house to his second term on the SUI
preme bench was expected as it was
deserved Precedent would ensure this
reappointment by Governor Powers,
but the distinction already won by the
recipient is such as would assure this
recognition were the precedent utterly
wanting. Judge Whitehouse was ap-
pointed to his first term by Governor
Burleigh in 1890. He was peculiarly
fitted for the position by reason of his
valuable experience in the IL years that
he presided over the superior court of
this county, being appointed to that
office at the time the court was estab-
lished in 1878. His brilliant record at the
bar and his wise and successful rulings
as judge, which We're rarely reversed,
naturally led to the expectation that in
the more distinguished position to
which he was called he would speedily
attain distinction. In this respect
there has been no disappointment. He
has written many important opinions
that have commanded wide attention
and the last volume Of the Maine re-
ports bear testimony to the ease and
ability with which he performs his
happily possessed of the qualities that
both win popularity and command
respect and there is no member of the
supreme court whose reappointment
would affords qualification to a wider
circle of friends.

to the friends of Cuba. Just what will
be done with the unfortunate man can
only be surmised 1t would be in line
with the Spanish policy to put him to
death as a traitor but it hardly seems
that Spain at this time will be so short
sighted as to nerve every insurgents
arm to the death and annihilate all
prospects of settlement of the insur-
rection except such as may come after
years of warfare. In such a death
Rivera would indirectly be of more ser
vice to his country than he would have
been had he been spared to the COM
mand of the insurgents in the western
province But if his life shall be spared
the loss of his personality in the lead
ership of the Cuban cause is by no
means irreparable. He was a gallant
leader, but not altogether acceptable
to some of the Cubans. as he himself
was not a Cuban although no more
loyal man has taken up arms in the
cause. He won gallant record in the
ten years war and then settled in Phil
adelphia as a cigar maker. He made
many friends there and was respected
by those who became acquainted with
him. He has not been able to take the
place of Maceo in the popular mind
and comparatively little respecting his
adventures has been published. Never
theless he has been able to hold his
own in that province and has defied the
utmost efforts of Weyler to drive him
out He will have a worthy successor
in all probability and it should be
borne in mind that since the death of
Maceo the insurgents have steadily
been growing stronger and Spain more

Government Seed Distribution.

The new national secretary OF agri-
culture, Mr.. Wilson, believes that 'he
system of government seed distribution
should he maintained. In this respect
he is Numerically opposed to his pred
ecessor, Mr.. Morton. and to ve:y
MANY. for of late the criticism OF tn"
svstem has become quite general. But
Secretary Wilson proposes to demon
strate the correctness Of his belief by
proving that the work is valuable
one. Mr. Morton, by delays and eva
sions of the law, succeeded in making
If as nearly worthless as it was pos
sible to do. Now under Mr.. Wilson 1t
will be possible to ascertain for GER

tenn may be. Energies and money VIII
not be frittered away in distributing
seeds that the recipient would other
wise get at his own expense. a slight
one, by the way. but it is proposed to
supply those which may serve to in
troduce a class of plants that have
proved exceptionally valuable in other
parts of the world. Such plants as
cow peas, japanese beans and clover.
and field peas have been found very
valuable as meat producers, and Sec
rotary Wilson intends by the distribu-
tion of seed packages to extend the ex-
periments in some Of these lines.
In experiments made in Iowa all the
world, says a well known writer, has
been ransacked for different varieties
of nitrogen producing plants with
which to supply the demand for the
new order of things. In this connec-
ton a knowledge and use of the le2u-
minous plants. which draw their sup
plies of nitrogen from the air is most
valuable Where heterogeneous plants
are used to great extent, soil will be
built up much faster than where ma
nure is used with small percents of
fertilizing properties. Besides legu-
minous plants draw much less virtue
from the soil. BY a combination of
these deep rooted plants it is practi-
cable to furnish a succession of crops
which shall give from the opening of
spring to the first snowfall constant
fresh supply Of heterogeneous foods for
farm animals, which adds very greatly
to their value for food.

Let the tariff alone. Reduce expen-
ditures." That is the brief and pithy
summing up of the Democratic policy
by the New York Times, and it fills the
bill.-Eastern Argus.-That is scath-
ing arraignment of the Democratic
party, which when it had full control
didn't reduce expenditures to receipts
but brought about a condition of affairs
such that it was necessary to sell many
million dollars worth of bonds in order
to pay running expenses. Such efforts
at Misrepresentation do not give the
public credit for either memory or
sense.

VOICES OF the PRESS.
The Man Of the Week.
IN. Y. SUM-

IN. Y. SUM-
Having no further voice or part ir
the making of laws. the Hon. William
l.. Wilson of West Virginia, is express
ing his ideas on the subject of new
tariff by the kind permission and
through the courtesy of our enterpris-
ing contemporary, the New York
Herald. The tone of his letters is
worth remarking, for it is character
istic. In his light. professional way he
discusses the Dingley bill with the con-
seriousness of superior Theoretical!
knowledge. and mild satire which is
almost as acidulous as very weak
circus lemonade.
Mr.. Dingley's efforts to make a tariff
seem to amuse the professor. He
affects to regard the dead-in-earnest
man from Maine as a profound humor-
list, bent on causing the whole world to
laugh at the schedules he produces.
THE agricultural schedule" says the
Hon. William l.. Wilson. lis fine
piece of humor." Again. says Prot.
Wilson. Chairman Dingley is not sur
passed by previous humorists." Again.
THE Dingley bill has another
scarcely less humorous feature
in it's so-called reciprocity provisions"
Such is the attitude of the gentleman
who made tariff which produced n
deficiency averaging about $50,000,00c
annually, toward the gentleman who is
endeavoring to the best of his great
ability to replace that disastrous tariff
with tariff which shall produce a
revenue adequate to the needs of the
government.
We beg leave to assure Prof. Wilson
that he is widely mistaken both as to
the character of his successor in the
craftsmanship of the ways and means,
and as to the temper In which the
American people are now watching the
latter's experiment. 1t is in no humor-
Gus or pleasantly controversial spirit
that Nelson Dingley of Maine, has
undertaken the tremendous task OF
correcting the appalling mistake and
amending the failure and the public
calamity to which Prof. Wilson SC.
blithely attached his name. There is
no person in Congress less affected by
the lighter considerations that bubble
in Mr.. Wilson's brain than the man
who will call tomorrow for a vote upon
a measure honorably conceived. framed
in grim earnest, and honestly intended
to restore prosperity to the people of
the United States.

Nj. s NJ. Trains Not Running.

The regular Wednesday train
over the N. & NJ. road did not leave
Matamoros this morning, ana all
traffic over the road has been sus-

near Reynosa.
So far nothing has been done to-
wards relaying the track or any
measures taken TO mend the trouble,
as no instructions have been given
to that effect. Since the death OF
the late Superintendent Shepard
no one has been appointed to fiji
the position OF superintendent, and
the minor officials at Matamorcs are
at loss to know what to do, with
ont an authorized head to instruct
them.
