Cold Weather
Catarrh

Though the d~isagreeable effects of Ca
tarrh are felt all the year round, cold and
disagreeable weather aggravates the
disease and it is during the winter sea-
son that its severest form is felt. Each
succeeding year seems to intensity the
disease, SO that it gradually fastens its
hold upon the sufferer with a grasp that
becomes frmer each season.
Catarrh often appears as only a cold at
first, and is hardly noticed. But gradu-
ally the cold returns, and it is more
dificulttoc cure, and stays longertha for
merly. These symptoms cannot be mis-
taken; they mark the first appearance ofa
disease that will develop in severity and
stu%bbornness, and which it is impossible
to cure with the local treatment of sprays,
washes, and similar applications. Being
a disease of the blood, only a blood
remedy can have the slightest effect
upon it. SIS. (Swift's Specifc) is the
only cure for Catarrh, because it is the
only blood remedy which goes to the
seat of all obstinate and deep-seated
cases, and forces out the disease.

chant of S%partanburg, S. c., writes:

the TAX payers, 1t is IA we'll known fact
that live stock Of all kinds has advanced
greatly in value during the past year, in
some cases the prices for which such
stock can be sold being doubled. This
fact should be taken into careful con
sideration and acted upon accordingly:
merchants have been doing a very pro-
ftable business during the past II
months and this should be duly consid-
cred. The property of corporations has
advanced in value and this fact should
be needed. The people expect the board
of equalization to do its duty fearlessly
and fairly and the New MEXICAN hopes
that the people will not be disappointed
and that the best interests of the terri
tory will be needed by the board.

Actuated by Sordid Motives.

There is no longer any doubt enter
tanned by a great majority of the senate
concerning the ACCESSIBILITY of annexing
the Hawaiian islands at the earliest
possible moment. The condition of af-
fairs in the Orient has demonstrated the
wisdom of taking the islands under the
stars and stripes and action on the
treaty in the senate will be taken at an
early day, but an opposition to the rati-
fcation of that treaty has sprung up
that is a little difficult to understand.
That opposition comes from the SEN
ators from the western states and is
caused by a fear that the sugar interests
of their states will suffer from the COM
petition Hawaiian sugar would offer.
The admittance of the islands would re-
move the tariff on sugar sent to the
United States from the islands, and the
price of that article might possibly be
forced down a few cents the hundred
pounds. Another source of opposition
comes from the men who have con-
trolled the sugar lands on the islands
under leases. Should the treaty be
ratified the lands will pass from the
control of the present holders through
purchase, and leases could not be re-
newed upon as favorable terms as under
the present condition of affairs.
The anti-annexation lobby at Wash
ington is already at work. 1t is headed
by the sugar kings of the islands. the
sugar planters of the south and a few
western senators and representatives.
How successful they will be remains to
be seen. but there is not much doubt of
a failure. In this matter, as in pretty
much everything else concerning the
country, that reaches the Legislative halls
of the capitol, politics enters into it. II
the eastern Republicans find that they
can uphold the president in his Hawaiian
policy and still not offend the western
Republicans, the treaty will be ratified

The Independent Man in Politics.

Since the retirement of Mr.. James II.
Eckels from the Office of the comptroller
of the currency there has been consider
able talk in the mugwump papers about
the independent man In politics and
the position he holds in affairs of that
kind. The independent man in politics
certainly occupies a peculiar position,
which is best illustrated by a little story
told by prominent man in Illinois during
the last campaign in that state.
He had become dissatisfied with the
Republican party and joined the Demo
Gratis in search Of reform, and from that
party driftcd into the ranks of the So
called independents. When that novel;
ty wore off he returned to his first love
and in relating his experience said: 81
soon found that | was not big enough
myself to make a party Of much intlu-
ence, but that did not bother me much
until [ began to look about for asso-
ciates, and then l found that I was the
most lonesome nan in the whole coun-
try. Since | could accomplish nothing
by myself, L concluded that if all that
was the matter with me was a needed
dose of reform, 1 had had a plenty and
at once came back to the only political
party that had ever done anything for
the country"
That is about all there is to the situa-
ton. A man who imagines that he is
an independent in politics usually finds
himself very lonesome, he has no in
%tluence, can, secure 10 change in e1-
listing conditions, and realizes that as a
political party he is a failure in every
respect.
The only way to secure reform in
politics is to remain with the party that
promises most in that way and work for
q betterment of conditions through the
strength of that party. Independence
In politics is a very pretty theory, but it
does not work out in practice.

without any trouble, but should the op-
position be able to convince the friends
of the measure that the western people
will act ugly owe it, there will be con
siderable difficulty in securing that rati-
fication.
The popular Supposition is that when
a man is sent to congress, either as a
representative or senator, that he is
sent to look after the welfare of his own
state particularly and of the nation in
general, and incidentally to advance
the interests of his party, but when
matters Of great moment come up which
concern the safety of the country that all
other considerations are to be laid aside;
country first, local affairs and politics
next. But in the matter of securing
possession of the most important and
strategic islands on our western coast
many members of congress seem to be &C
tuated by sordid motives wholly. Should
a squabble arise over the treaty and the
measure fail of ratification, Great Brit
ain will not lose a moment in raising
the British flag over the islands and at
once proclaim to the world that by the
grace of the Lord land the foolishness
of the Americans) the lands growing
sugar cane, the admirable bays and sta
tions on the coasts if the Hawaiian
islands were hers, and the Monroe
doctrine might be hanged or fought
for. The easiest and most satisfactory
way out of the difficulty is to annex
the islands to this country at once and
settle the matter for all time.

After coughs and colds

After coughs and colds
the germs of consumption
often gain a foothold.
Scott's Emulsion of Cod
liver Oil with Hypophos-
phites will not cure every
case; but, if taken in time,
it will cure many.
Even when the disease is
farther advanced, some re-
markable cures are effected.
In the most advanced stages
it prolongs life, and makes
the days far more comfort
able. Everyone suffering
from consumption needs this
food tonic.

Democrat Nonsense.

The eastern Silver-D Democratic papers
are promising a silver fight" in con
gress, that will eclipse any and all pre-
yious efforts of the Democratic party to
discomft the Republicans. These pa
pers say that the old Stanley Matthews
resolution. which was passed in 1878
and now stands on the statutes as a
dead letter." will be introduced in the
senate and referred to the committee on
finance, which favOrs the resolution,
and will at once be reported favorably,
and thus precipitate a row, and a num-
Der of senators who have been fencing
on the meNl question will be smoked out.
The Matthews resolution declares
that the policy of this government is to
pay its debts in gold or silver at it's OPP
ton. just how a fight can be gotten
out of that resolution is somewhat diff
cult to understand. The resolution is
now the law of the land and it is the OPP
tion of the government to pay its obi
cations in gold. The party in power
has heretofore constituted the gov
eminent, and if President Mckinley
sees fit to continue gold payments he
can do so without violating any law
whatever. Unless the silver men are
able to make the payment of govern
ment obligations in silver mandatory,
the repassing of the Matthews resolu-
ton will accomplish nothing, and effect
no change in the present name of doing
business at the treasury. The talk of
forcing a fight on the silver question by
presenting the resolution mentioned is
nonsense.

She Had Married q Negro and Told Him

"Uncle JOSH Perkins, a we'll known
New England tin peddler, whose CHEEKY
face and well stocked cart are familiar
features of the landscape between the
Berkshire hills and Boston, tells the fol-
lowing good story, in which he for once in
his life got the worst Of the argument:
Sin a certain town ON my route lives a
white woman whose husband is a decided
brunette, or, in other words, u full blood
ed African.
81 was in blissful ignorance of this
somewhat mixed state Of affairs, however,
and one day l sold the lady in question =
quantity Of tinware from my cart, in
payment for which she rendered me a 30
bill. 1 happened to be a little short Of
change, and she said if l didn't mind step
ping out back of the barn, where her hus-
band was at work, he probably would
change the bill for me.
Il didn' t mind in tho least, and l stepped
out there, but presently came back with
the bill in my hand and reported that l
was unable to find her husband.
"'Sure he wasn't there?' asked the
woman.
"'I'll take my oath to it, madam, said
/ glibly. Il looked all around, and there
was nobody out there but an old cool back
in the lot a ways digging potatoes!'
Cocoon, eh? I want you to understand
that the gentleman to whom you thus re-
fer is my lawful husband!' snapped she
Indignantly.
"'Your h-husband!' l gasped in aston.
ishment. Surely you don't mean it?'
"She assured me that she certainly did
mean it, 50 there was nothing left for mo
to do but apologize, and l promptly did
so in my most elaborate and abject style.
II had things nicely smoothed over, and
then like q laundering numbskull that l
was | had to go to work and spoil it all
by asking a question that popped into my
head just then. Said 1:
"'Excuse me, madam, but just out of
curiosity I'd like to know how an intelli-
gent, good looking white woman like you
came to marry a COOL should say colored
man?'
Her eyes flashed fire for an instant;
then a sarcastic twinkle crept into them,
and after slowly looking me over from
head to foot she replied:
"'Well, mister, seeing you are SO terri
bly, curious about the matter, I'll tell you
how it happened. When I was a young
woman, I had my choice between marry
ing a tin peddler and a coon, as you ex-
press it, and I took the coonr
Give travelled around considerably in
my time,'' concluded Uncle Josh, with a
reminiscent sigh, land I've crossed wits
with everybody and anybody that came
along, but l never was SO completely and
thoroughly squelched as / wal on that oc-
oasion. l collected my bill and got my tin
peddler's cart under motion without ask
ing any more questions, you can bet. -

HERD OF WHITE DEER.
Unusual Sight Reported by . Newport
Sportsman In Maine.

Unusual Sight Reported by . Newport
Sportsman In Maine.
A herd Of white deer was seen near
Kingman, Me-, a few days ago, and ev-
cry hunter for 20 miles around is now
trying to get one of the animals. The
herd was first seen by a Newport sports
man. For awhile he was SO bewildered
that he did not know what to do, for it
may be that no man before him ever
saw more than n white deer at a time
in the Maine woods.
He succeeded in killing a big white
buck weighing about 225 pounds, and
he left on the next train for home, after
having been here only three days. The
buck was almost as white as snow.
There was a patch of brown hair on his
right side near the rump. When the
man arrived in Bangor, he met a tax
idermist, who bought the deer at a
handsome price. The taxidermist said
that he has mounted only one white
deer in his life, and that was for a
London man who wanted it to present
to the British museum.

The vast majority of the good
people Of the territory desire the
capital located permanently in this
city and the vexed question taken
from territorial politics. During the
past IA years the capital remov-
al agitation has been productive Of moth
ing but corruption and boodling and has
simply been the means of allowing some
corrupt legislators and lobbyists to
fleece the people of Santa Fe and Albu-
querque. The passage of the bill, intro
duced by Delegate Ferguson, for the
permanent location of the capital in this
city and its becoming law, is greatly de-
sired by the decent and honest voters by
a large majority and would be a great
step forward toward territorial advance
ment and the purifying of legislative
doinps.
