was tho sorrow produced by tho other.
Tho first report which came from
New York was received ut y o'clock in

In the United States and cabled back
here representing that John Sherman ia
dead. It Is incomprehensible how these

and it was immediately reported that

better, resting easily and expected to
recover. He will be transferred. if all
goes favorably, to the United States

CHICAGO, March 22.-The government
court of inquiry examined two wit

tion-Dr. Nicholas Sem and Lieuten-
ant Colonel A. w. Corliss. DR.. Sem,
who served in Cuba and Porto Rico,
testified that the troops in Cuba lived
largely on canned roast beef and bacon.
He had every reason to believe that the
canned beef was not roasted but boiled.
It was tasteless and certainly appeared
to lack nutritious qualities, as was sp-
parent from the condition of the men
who returned from Cuba to Montauk-
men who had never been ill but were
greatly emaciated.> He thought one of
the meat supplies Of the future for the
army should be dried beef. Men could
be fed once or twice . week ON canned
roast beef without i'll effect on their
health, but as daily ration for any
length Of time he would not consider 1t

FiIipin0s to be Dep0rted.

The Filipinos must go. That is the
6s Filips brought to the San Francisco
fair for exhibition must be deported the
same as Chinese. The secretary of war
has telegraphed General Shafter to ship
them bag and baggage, the fair having
closed. They are probably classed as
paupers. being rude savages with no
means of support. just because the
United States owns the islands, is not
regarded as giving all the riff raft there,
the right to come here to live upon the
public. nor to stay as cheap laborers to
root better people out of work. Charity,
in this case, begins at home. But the
secretary of war has given Atkinson ct
ais. a chance to kick over the woes of
the So Filips, though they are probably
delighted to get free transportation to
their old HON es where they may pursue
an easier gait.

More Silver Currency Needed.

In Denver Secretary Gage, of the
treasury department. stated that there
is now a great scarcity Of silver coin and
the demand from the south and west is
growing. 1t is reported that he has
asked the attorney general for a legal
opinion regarding the authority Of the
secretary of the treasury to purchase
silver bullion for the purpose of increaS-
ing the subsidiary coin. Under the law
only $50, 900, 900 in fractional silver
money can be coined. and the amount
on hand is very low just now there
being only a little over ? 1000, 900 worth
of such coin in the treasury.
Secretary Gage, in his forthcoming
report to congress, will enew his rec
concentration for authority to increase
the coinage of subsidiary silver coin to
meet the public demand. The supply of
standard silver dollars in the treasury is
almost depleted: in fact. the demand
from the west and south cannot be sup
piled. This will also be touched upon
by the secretary in his annual report.

Signs Of the Times.

perity. In a general way his points APP
ply to all parts of the country and de-
serve reproduction all over the union.
The words of the chief executive of the
nation were as follows:
Fellow citizens: | thank you for
this patriotic demonstration. ! appre-
eiate this expression, not as a personal
favor to myself, but as your tribute of
devotion to the government of the Unit
ed States, over which, by the partially
of your suffrage, | am permitted to pre-
side.
81 am glad to meet the w%orkingmen
of this busy manufacturing town and
to meet my fellow citizens generally and
congratulate them upon the improved
conditions of business over 1896. l am
glad to know that this year the place
hunts the man, and not the man the
place.
Somebody has asked. what are the
signs of the times? Coming along on
the railway ! received a letter from one
of your great works here, and | thought
it gave the best answer that could be
made. Here it is:
SIN 1896, from 100 to 800 men were
turned away fro,n our gates every norm
ing and every night, who were looking
for work. Many Of these people went
away with tears in their eyes. We gave
work to large numbers of people for a
few days at a time, simply to enable
them to live. During the last two years
our bulletin board has been constantly
covered with notices of additional men
wanted.
SIN M of your factories in 1896. in
the month of September. you paid $33,-
600 to labor; in the same month of 1899
you paid $103, 900 to labor. | am told
that this railroad over which we are
travelling loaded in the month of Sep
of this year 800 cars (more than
before loaded in a single month in
it's history with the products of the
farm, the mill and the factories along
It's line, and 1000 more than were load
ed in the same period last year. So l
feel that can congratulate you upon
prosperity that prevails in this COM
and throughout the country.
The hum of industry has drowned the
of calamity and the voice of des-
pair is no longer heard in the United
and the orators without occupa-
ion here are now looking to the Phil |
ppines for comfort. As we opposed them
when they were standing against indus

A Beneficial Term OF Court.

The New Mexican would be r~ecreant tC
its duty to bestow credit upon work well
done and to a public official who has
earned commentator, did it fail to
Judge John R. McFie of the 1st judicial
district of the territory, in the term OF
court just ended. The court was in
session 80 days in which there was no
evasion of work by the shortening OF
hours to the Inconvenience of litigants
and detention of %juries. In the 80 days
70 civil cases were finally disposed of
and no longer do they cucumber the
docket. Seven cases were set for hear
ing during vacation. During the period
% of the cases on the criminal docket
were disposed of by trial or otherwise,
and though 10 indictments were found
| but IS cases remain to be heard. Nearly
| all of the accused. if not all, are under
bond and no expense is entailed upon
the county in caring for the parties
charged with offenses, which are mainly
of Il petty character. C~ontinuances ass
general thing were sought by defend
ants, and granted only for legal and
good cause. That there were not more
indictments found is largely due no
doubt to the charge of the court to the
grand jury not to bring indictments
against parties for trivial matters and to
exercise caution that persons should not
be harrassed or prosecuted through the
medium of the court for personal
reasons in which the public had no in
terest.
The main object OF the court being to
secure obedience to all laws, the effort
of Judge McFie to obtain that result in
the future, rather than to rigidly en-
force a penalty in regard to the Sunday
law, whichhad almost by general consent
been regarded lightly, met with the APP
prevail of the public as represented by
the grand jury, and past o%ffenses were
ignored upon promises of all the bust
ness men in the city to bow in good faith
to the requirements of the court in ref
renee to this statute.
That Judge McFie was able to dispose
of so much business is largely due to the
willingness OF the bar and litigants to |
have him pass upon matters at issue in
civil cases rather than to exact trials by |
This willingness proved the
existence of confidence in his clear
headedness. fairness and integrity that
have been gratifying to the
court.

Work on Forest Culture.

The government printing office at
Washington annually turns out an enor-
nous amount Of printing matter that to
most people seems mere rubbish. But
once in a while a work is published the
value and interest of which everyone
can appreciate. Such a work is a neat
little book of 90 pages printed IN coated
paper entitled "A Primer of Forestry
The Forest by Clifford Pinchot. 1t is
issued as bulletin No. "a of the United
States department of agriculture; divis-
ion Of forestry. The volume is Illus
trated with about 90 half-tone and out
line ~engravings that are not only artistic,
but also instructive and interesting. The
book explains tersely the life of a tree,
its life in the forest. the life of a forest,
tells of the enemies Of the woods and
gives directions for forest culture. The
style is clear and free of the technical
tiles generally found in such a volume,
and whether read merely to while away
an, hour pleasantly or to gain knowledge
such as every man should possess, it is
sure to please everyone.
