Goshen. There was no contest ex-
pected there, and it was this fact that
made it possible for few persons, who
had a grievance against him, to at the
last moment run in few votes and
elect an opposition ticket. This state
OF affairs grew out of a prosecution
there during the last year. Had there
been any intimation OF the trick. it

MEXICO SATISFIED.
Under the silver standard the Coun-
try Is Prospecting ms II Never
Did Before.

Mexico City, April 1s-Finance Minister
Limantour, after several years severe Ia
Dor, the result of which has been the
restoration of the financial equilibrium of
the nation, now finds It necessary to take
rest and under the advice of his ply
sicans will go to Carlsbad, Germany, for
a short stay and will also travel in Europe,
1t is reported again in official circles
that on the return of the minister of
finance President Diaz will take short
trip to the United States and Europe.
That this can be considered as probable
indicates the profoundly peaceful condition
Of the country.
1t is again rumored with some insistence
that prominent American and European
bankers have offered finance loan which
would place Mexico on a gold basis. The
manufacturing element is firmly opposed
to any change of the standard, as Mexico
is prospering as never before, and the
silver standard is credited with the coun-
try's ability to compete in manufactures in
many lines with Europe and the United
States. The great planting interests are
now largely exporting and are opposed to
the gold standard
The retail price OF beef has advanced
| sharply owing to a large number OF cat

since his return from the Oaxaca hunting
trip.
