to reporters in California Speaking of him.
self and Riley Granna n, he says: AT Morris
Park we went on the block andlo $4,000
in cash. 10 made a big hole in our bank
roll Granna anted 70 make some money
and just as the tracks closed we got a tip
on stocks. Somebody told Riley to go to
Wall street and join the beats. We went up
and dallied in sugar stocks We were
touted correctly, for we had hardly bought
stocks when Havemeyer was taken sick
and this fact made stocks tumble. This
announcement was followed by a rumor
that Croker was dead, and stocks went
down another peg.
II told Riley that we We're novices at
the business, and as long as we were
S150.000 10 the good we had better sell
and get out. Riley thought it good
scheme, so we cashed in and quit Wall
street. 1t was a lucky move on our part,
for sugar didn't 60 down any further. This
killing in stocks left Riley in comfortable
circumstances, and he decided 70 spend
the winter abroad, and | am going to
join him there in a few weeks"

FARMERS FEEL PUZZLED
Don't Knew How to Obey Regula-

Write 10 the commissioners for In.
formation and Are Invited to
Conference.

The new regulations for vehicles and
bicycles, requiring them TO show lights
at night, are causing trouble and unpleas-
ant feelings TO others than the livery peo-
pie. The farmers for twenty miles around
the city don quite know what to do about
il. Prince George ana Montgomery coun-
ty farmers are frequently asking the ques-
ton whether hay ricks, making their slow
morning entry into the District, with two
tons of hay aboard, are included in the
regulations.

now ana then, and the regulations are long
and the Commissioners make changes in

difficulties. He asked esre .ially nbout

Free From
Rheumatism.

If the people generally knew the true
cause of Rheumatism, there would be
no such thing as liniments and lotions
for this painful and disabling disease.
The fact is, Rheumatism is a disordered
state of the blood-it can be reached,
therefore, only through the blood. But
all blood remedies cannot cure Rheuma-
tism, for it is an obstinate disease, one
which requires a real blo0d 'smeay-
something more than a mere tonic;
Swift's Specific is the only real blood
remedy and promptly goes to the very
bottom Of even the most obstinate case.
Like all other blood diseases, the
doctors are totally unable to cure Rheu-
matism. In fact, the only remedies
which they prescribe are potash n
mercury, and though temporary. relief
may result, these remedies produce a
stiffness Of joints aud only intensity the
disease. Those who have had experience
with Rheumatism know that it becomes
more severe each wear.

Help Cuba, But Not the Spanish Troops.

Not long since President Mckinley
issued all appeal to the American peo'
pie, asking aid for the starving Cubans.
In the appeal it was stated that ar
engagements had been made whereby
the distribution of all supplies would be
superintendent by Consul General Lee,
assisted by the other American consuls
on the island. The fact that General
Lee would be at the head of the relief
work was of itself a guarantee that the
food and clothing sent to Havana would
reach the people so badly in need OF
them.
But the Spanish authorities seem to
have misunderstood the arrangements,
for they now send out word that all
articles intended for the relief of the
starving twill be distributed exclusively
by Spanish committees, and the Amer
lean consuls will be allowed to assist
these committees" That explains
SPANS willingness to allow the CHART
able people of the United States to step
in and save the remnant of the in
habitants of the island. Spain is prac-
tically bankrupt, her soldiers in Cuba
are starving, and by distributing sup
plies contributed through ''Spanish COM
mittees," her troops will get much need
ed food which cannot be gotten other
wise.
The probabilities are that food and
clothing win not 60 to Havana in any
very large quantities now that the Span
ish side of the arrangements for distri-
button is known. While the people OF
this country are willing to succor the
helpless women and children, yes, and
men too, who have been prosecuted, rob-
bed, and starved by a barbarous warfare
and fiends in human form, they draw
the line at extending aid and comfort to
those who are the direct cause of name
less misery and heartless determination.
The debate, which took place on the
floor Of the house in Washington on
yesterday, is an index to public senti-
ment on the Cuban question, and while
the powers that be are able for a time
to prevent any action, the situation can
not remain in its present state long.
The pressure that is bearing upon the
congressman and senators, from the
country at large, will force the admin
istration tt back down from its policy Of
acquiescence in SPANS treatment of the
Cuban people. Then Cuba will be free.
With peace and order restored on the
island there will be no need of assist
ance, the people will take care of them

England Calls a Halt.


The utterances of Mr.. Balfour and
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, made in pub
lie speeches the past few days, have I'M
doubtedly placed a new light upon the
troubles in China. These two gentle
men undoubtedly stated the attitude of
the government upon partition of the
great Asiatic empire. and the statements
that the commerce of China should not
be closed to English products, ven if it
were necessary to 60 to war, will have
the effect to cause the other European
powers to carefully consider the cost be-
! fore going further with their despolia-
'on schemes.
GERMANY has, it is true, received a
.cession which practically amounts to
a territorial cession of the shore of
Kiao-Chau bay, but it is doubtful if the
rights thus acquired will prove very
valuable. 1t is said that the harbor is
not good and that it is not a strategic
point of great value. If this estimate is
correct, neither England nor Russia will
have much occasion to object to Ger
man occupation. The fact that Eng
land exhibits little disposition to object
suggests that Kiao-Chau is not, as a
matter of fact, of much value. England
is prone to object when any other power
appears to be gaining IA conspicuous adj
vantage.
The partition idea seems to be entirely
abandoned for the present. England's
opposition is very potent. 1t may be
that ultimately there will be something
like a partition Of China, but it Will not
take place until England gets ready, ex-
cept that Manchuria may pass under
the control, If not into the ownership OF
Russia. In this connection it is strange
that the strength of England in relation
to this Oriental problem has not been
more generally recognized. England
and Japan, acting together, would UNI
doubleday be lar o than a match ior
Russia and Germany. They would be
stronger than the opposition, even if
France were to join Germany and Rus
STA.
There will be no wal in the Orient on
account of the Kiao-Chau bay affair.
China will in a little while pass off the
stage as the object of chief interest.
War talk will be directed to the move
ments of England and France OF the up
per courses of the Nile. But, even
there, there will be no war. England
and France may growl at each other,
just as the leading nations of Europe
have snarled over the Chinese affair.
But they have too much at stake out
side of Central Africa to permit them to
go to war,

In this county during the past two

been lost to the territory and the county
by compromises OF tax suits that should
never have been made. The method
of compromising tax suits, when all
moneys due, taxes, penalty and costs,
can easily be collected. at rs per cent, is
not only illegal, but absolutely wrong.

dodger gets a premium. 1t is high time

The New Chief Justice.

On yesterday, as announced already
in these columns, President Mckinley
nominated Mr.. William j.. Mills, of
Connecticut, to be chief justice of the
Supreme court of the territory of New
Mexico. The-NEw MEXICAN, as soon
as ex-Solicitor General Edward L. Bart
lett withdrew from the ace for the
office, supported Mr.. Mills, believing,
from it's knowledge of his character and
reputation and considering the situa-
ton, that his appointment would be a
credit and a benefit alike to the APP
appointing power and to the people OF
New Mexico.
Mr.. Mills, upon his confirmation, does
not come among the people OF New
Mexico as a stranger. Quite the re-
verse; he resided and practiced law in
one of the t~erritory's principal towns,
Las Vegas, for more that eight years,
and is well known to the people of cen
trail and northern New Mexico as a man
Of sterling integrity. as a lawyer of@7
fine and thorough legal education al.
much experience and as a citizen OF
great worth and exemplary character.
In the New MExIcAN's opinion, a bet
ter appointment could not have been
made and this paper knows, in this
statement, it voices the sentiments OF
all those in this territory who know the
new Judge.
