The rumor Friday morning that
one of the Memphis trains was
wrecked between Baxter and Col

uiar-except that there was no
wreck and nobody was killed. This
rumor no doubt originated where
the smallpox and yellow fever ru-

England has rewarded General Kitch-
ener for subduing the tribes of the Sou
dan with a gift by parliament of $780,
600. One member of parliament opposed
the grant, because the commander had
desecrated the grave of the Mahdi, de-
stroying the tomb and the body and
sending the head back to England in an
oil can. The rest of the kingdom cared
little for this action. The commander
believed that so long as the tomb exist
ed the fanatics would make pilgrimages
and wars would result from the avage
being assembled for so-called religious
purposes. 1t is not unusual for the Eng
fish government to thus endow it's sue
military commanders. Undoubt-
eddy some undeserving ones have sue
ceeded in securing rewards. No patriot
ic soldier needs the incentive of a money
reward to incite him to strive for VIC
tory, and subsequent bestowal of riches
puts him on a level with those who per-
sisted because of the recompense sue
cess would bring.

The kind of fight Filipinos put up
against the brave and w~ell-trained
United States forces yesterday must
necessarily elicit admiration from
Americans. 1t is not astonishing that
Spain had so hopeless a job in subduing
the rebels in Luzon when it is consid-
cred that the latter are giving the
United States a severer tussle than
Spain did. The United States can not
relinquish and will not ~relinquish the
fight until the last Filipino has submit
ted, but it is only fair to acknowledge
that the dozens of cablegrams ANNOUNCE
ing the subduing of the Filipinos and
that the last remnant had been scat
tered, etc, published from time to time,
We're too sanguine, and did more harm
than good, for the people will get i'm
patient with a war that is announced
to be on its last foot regularly once a
week, and still drags on for months.

A Hot Weather Funcfio n

Prof. c. A. Keffer, at Mesilla Park, is
accomplishing a revolution in Las CRU
ces society circles that is worthy of be-
ing initiated by the four hundred in
New York City and elsewhere. He has
issued invitations to a dance, but in
sists that his guests shall be comfort
able and able to be about again the
next day. He has stipulated that all the
ladies attending the society affair may
wear shirt waists, and the gentlemen
appear in light suits and negligee shirts.
The guests are commanded to come
early, and are told that they may leave
with propriety any time between 5 and
IL o'clock in the evening. This is sensi-
BILE, n if it were adopted everywhere
society would be more of a pleasure than
a bore, as it is at present. With the alb
surd society etiquette in vogue, with it's
foolish rules of dress and late hours,
many an ambitious man and sensible
woman shuns society affairs as incom-
patible with success in life and the
maintenance of good health. OF course,
Ward McAllister said that society was
only for people who could afford to
sleep until moor and be invalids, but
society with members only of that class
would be dull indeed.
The Las Cruces swells can Join in
poetical praise of their host for his in
novation, with the following verse:
When hot waves rush in and assail us
It's comfort all mortals desire,
And that is just what we are finding
In making this change of attire.
Though some will declare it's not "dressy.''
Remarks of such critics don't hurt
Our feelings, for gladly we're hailing
The time of the neglige shirt.

The Standard Oil Mon 0DoIy.

The Standard oil monopoly is not too
big to do little things. It descends to
the meanness of attacking and coercing
the smallest dealer in a village with the
same determination that it uses in
freezing out another oil company. Tes-
timony taken before the industrial COM
mission of inquiry at Washington re-
veals some of the methods this COM
pany has to destroy the others. It's OPP
erations in various Ohio towns, as told
by a witness formerly employed as one
OF the company managers, showed
clearly that the corporation coerces 9TH
ers. This witness testified hat at Ma
rietta the Standard ousted other COM
panies from the business by competi-
ton and then put up the price of oil. He
said that eight nominal grades of Oil
were sold out of only two tanks, the
being turned in different direc-
lions for different grades. This was
done under Instructions from the mana
gers. The company bought and sold
turpentine, but before selling it would
put six or seven gallons of gasoline in
each barrel of turpentine.
AT Urbana, a competitor was driven
out by a threat to force the price down
to / cent a gallon. The competitor after
went to the poor house.
AT Newark, the company bought a
building from over a leaser's head who
doing a competitive business, and
Clark, with other men, went into
the building in the absence Of the COM /
petitor, loaded the building on carts and /
carried it away. The competitor was /
driven out of business, after a boy |

.or's wagons and locate his customers, |

twelve hours daily.

Republication in France.

France is nominally a republic, but
lacks much of being an ideal one. Lib
erty, as it exists there, does not bring
contentment nor prevent violent upris-
ings against the government. In Amer
lea there is no dissatisfaction with the
government itself. There may be dis
satisfaction with the administration
n executive acts of the president and
the cabinet. If so, his hands are soon
tled by the election of a congress re-
hecting the views of the people. and in
a short period his successor is chosen.
In France, let TN unpopular thing he
said or done by the president, or let a
popular hero of a day criticise the ex-
ecutive. and at once a mob cries for the
gore OF the president. The opposition Of
the legislative body which elects the
president for a fixed term auses the
ministry to resign, and extremists are
at once chosen, who are not in harmony
with the president. In a week or month

somebody without fear of personal
consequences has started a discussion
as to whether custom should be chang
ed and women be allowed to make mat
f1monlal proposals. An innovation Of
this character would not meet with the
sanction of the women, for it is the
height of pleasure for most of them to
nave tnelr diplomatic efforts crowned
Win success. They do not want the
so much as they do the sensa-
ticn OF winning the proposal. The ex-
pert fisherman enjoys the pleasure of
angling, OF landing, and is then ready
to give his catch away after permitting
Others to envy his skill. So it is with
many women. They do not want the
success of a catch interfered
with by a change in custom.
