Our Terms With Mexico.

As we arc now about to negotiate
treaty of peace with Spain 1t is inter
esting to know how We made peace with
Mexico. the last foreign country the
United States was at war with up to the
late trouble with Spain. Like the pres
ent war. the war with Mexico was one
unbroken succession Of victories for our
armies. Mexico was being overrun by
the armies under Gen. Scott and Tay-
lor. After the capture OF Vera Cruz
Gen. Scoot marched on the City Of
Mexico. At Puebla he was met BY
Mr.. Nicholas p. Trist. chief clerk of
the State department. Genera! Scott
was outraged when he learned that Mr..
Trist had brought with him the draIt OF
treaty which he was authorized to-
make with Santa Anna. Scott refused (:
to have anything to do with this pro-
ceeding. but Trist succeeded in reach
ing the Mexican authorities through
the medium of the British legation.
Santa Anna refused to ask for peace:
and declared that he would not 40 so
until the American armies haa won
more victories: that his capital must be
AIKEN before he would think OF giving
nm the fight. General Scoot the NOV
ed forward and captured the City OF
Mexico. Saints Anna. however: still
refused to talk Of peace. Trist was or
dered BY the state department to return
to Washington: He made bold. how
ever. to continue his efforts for peace
and soon after the City Of Mexico was
captured he brought the Mexican con-
rress to terms. Under the treaty NeA-
leo agreed in consideration Of So. OO9,-
coo. to cede to the United State all the
territory now occupied by California,
Nevada. Arizona and Utah. and large
part of that which now makes Colorado,
and New Mexico. Though Irlst h9G
really negotiated the treaty. he could
not sign it. as his commission had been
revoked. Gen Scott approved inc
treaty. but refused to take any @ftlclai
nart IN the proceedings. Trlst finally
sent the treaty to Washington; PreSl-
dent Polk signed it promptly; The
United States Senate and the Mexican
congress ratified the treaty very soon
after il received President Polk 5 sigma
tnrr and thus the war with Mexico
ended. These are the facts as given
bv the Atlanta Journal.

Less Liquor Drinking.

The bulletin for the Federal depart

show that there has been large de-
crease in the contumption of intoxi-
eating liquors by the people Of this
country. In 1880 the consumption Of
distilled spirits in the United States
was ,. gallons for every man, woman
and child; in 1896 it was less than one
gallon. Such decrease il the use Of
strong drink probably never occurred
before among any people. There has

ment of the house. 1--WE have had the
opera house leased for two years and
two mouths, The fact that we have
removed our scenery from the build
ing does not go to show that we dc
not intend to manage the house any
longer. The scenery has been used
for two years and is not suitable for
the Reed any longer. We have paid
high rent and the year has not been
very prosperous one theatically. In
case we can make satisfactory terms
with the management we may re-
lease the property for another year. "
e. p. Mccormack, tue manager and
lessor ofthe Reed, said: "The scenery
that has been placed in the Reed since
it has been leased to Patton Bros. Is
their own personal property and the
hour OF day or night in which the re-
moyed the same from the building has
