Horse Stcaling Galore.

On Monday. III. b. Carr Of Fruita.
Colo. swore out warrant before jus
tice Now for the apprehension Of one
Hank Grummon. alias Hank Burt.
charging him with horse stealing.

of Sheriff Williams, and accompanied

ing at Carnrike's, information WAS OBJ.
/ tanned locating GrummOn i'll Elkhead
guIch. In order not to stampede the
game Carr was left behind ANA tn
sheriff accompanied by Jacqus FrusUd
proceeded up the guIch and arrested
GrummOn without any trouble. He
was haudcuffed and placed in Mr.
Freund's buck. board with the intention
of bringing him to town. All went wei
until nearing Freund's ranch. At This
point. Mr. Williams went ahead of the
vehicle for some purpose. He had
turned sharp corner in the road and
was out of sight. 1t WIS getting dark
GrummOn stopped down, presumably to
get piece of tobacco, but in realty 10
get hold of an um!Oaded rifle lying in
the bottom of the wagon. Mr.. Frgund
saw the move and made grab for the
rifle The horse thief had secured the
best hold and pulled it away from
Freund. and as he did so hit the latter
a wicked blow over the head-knocsing
him senseless. The thief then made his
escape, being aided by the thick brush
and darkness.
About this time (Which didn't take
more time than il takes to tell it) Sheriff
| Williams looked back and not seeing
| Freund coming along as expected. re-
traced his steps and found the team at
standstiI and Mr. Freund insensible
from the effects Of the blow he had re-
ceived. Fortunately the latter was not
seriously injured.
Owing to the darkness and nature
of the country search for the es-
capped criminal was delayed until
morning. lie was tracked back to the
place at which he was arrested, Here
his trail was lost. Later it was learned
that lie had made his way to AXia ard
stole a horse and saddle from Ed Collom,
and made his escape.
The chase was then given up rs GTum-
mon was then well on his way to
Browns Park, that great rendezvous OF
robbers and murderers.
Much Indignation is felt here among
cattlemen and others at the evidence of
sympathy shown in the basin for Grum-
mon. 1t seems that he is an all-around
thief and bad man. \ good deal of
plunder was founn at his camp ut Elk
head.
Mr.. Carr was lucky in recovering
three of the four horses stolen from his
ranch. The latter says there are half Il
dozen Pen" charges against Grummon
in Garfield and Mesa counties.
| "Wednesday morning, Louis johnson
of Powell Park, reported the disappear
ance of one of his hired men. named
r. IL. SNYDER, and horse and saddle.
Louie wasn't grieving over the loss of
the man but he felt hurt over the de-
parture Of good horse and furnishings:
therefore he had the necessary papers
issued by Justice Nov and placed in
the hands of Under Sheriff Walden.
So far the thief has not been captured,
but it is likely he will be. as he 'hit the
trail'' in the direction of Grand river.

Evidences of Good win.

Although the translation OF good actions
into terms of good politics is sometimes
difficult or the attempt ungracious, we
must really say that Mr.. Mckinley in
joining with Admiral Dewey in providing
Young Gridloy with the means of prepar-
ing for MS examination for a commission
in the Marine Corps. puts the President in
good company, and tends TO minimize the
wicked suspicion that he is tolerant Of
Crowninshield's apparent attacks upon the
victor of Manila.
Now, when Mr.. Mckinley has gone so
far in the matter and, we must remark,
IN q very delicate and nice way. it would
please his sincere friends and the country
at large if he would go further and put
his official foot down crushingly on the
conspiracy against Rear Admiral SchIey,
whose only offence is that he won the
battle Of Santiago in the absence of a Ger
tain Captain Sampson, to whom Long and
CroWninshield would like to give the laurels
and the prize money. They know, or by
this time ought to know, that they cannot
effect this purpose. Why they should be
aware Of the fact we must leave them 20
reflect or to guess for day or two; but
they are fully advised and corresponding
ly excited.
Very likely, the inside facts have been
Withheld from the Commander in Chief
OF the Army and Navy. II so, he viii have
additional reasons for wishing that he had
not courteousIy asked Long not to resign

ommend certain Investigations in his an

time, and then We hope he Will be indig-
nant in a manly way when he realizes how
he has been used TO promote contemp-
tble piece OF business which ought to
send somebody before a martial, and
not Of the packed kind either.
one Of the great and constant regrets Of
citizens who appreciate the innate good
ness OF the President and his desire to
DO right, is that his confidence has been
and is being abused by persons whom he
trusts, but who should be in a far different
type Of uniform and performing public
service in way vastly more geological
than their current duties suggest. II he

tentiou called TO certain matters by regular

though it viii be much regretted. If moth

quantity Of whitewash to contract for

AGITAroRs IN HAVANA.
The Bane of the Population and a
Hindrance to Progress.

HAVANA. Nov. 29.-"La Lucha," COM
menting on the situation growing out Of the
work of agitatOrs, says there will be no re
volt. 1t declares that matters are in a grave
condition, but are not alarming, and adds
that judicious behavior on the part OF those
who have influence will prevent any serious
development Agents have been through
the country trying TO spread discomfort, but
they have not had much success. The
rural population want to return to work.
and they are greatly opposed to any disturb
ance. The crops are beginning TO grow
and they are anxious TO reap the benefit
that VIII accrue TO them from the sale Of
their produce. The American authorities
are fully aware of what il happening. They
also know the prime movers in agitation.
In conclusion, La Lucha" says that the
Americans have splendid spy system,
which is composed mainly of Cubans them
selves.
Reports from Manzanillo indicate that
trouble is anticipated there, growing out
Of the sudden discharge Of hundreds of la
borers who were employed on the Ceiba
and Hueca sugar estates. The discharged
men are without means Of support.
The Veterans Association here intends
to protest 10 Jhe Supreme Court against the
sentence Of twelve years Imprisonment ins@
posed on Aldamo who was convicted Of
killing a Cuban soldier in November, 1898.
The ground of the protest is that the crime
was a military one, and the accused should
have been tried by court-martial Of the
revolutionary army.
General Lacret says it would be madness
to think Of going TO the woods at present.
To do so would be uupatriotic and inhu-
name. The people have no reason TO mis-
trust the American Government If any
one should be foolish enough to attempt
TO start a rebellion he would find 10 SYM
pathy among the Cubans. The mission of
all good Cubans is 20 work and not TO make
trouble
General Roberts says that any attempt
now to cause trouble viii meet with .
poor reception in the country.

he and out OF The question, Il is true
that We have agreed to leave the internal
administration of Cuba to its inhabitants,
as soon as we shall have been able 10
establish for them a stable government.
This pledge does not commit US 10 turn
the country over TO a horde OF completely
impossible semi-savages to loot property,
make legitimate agriculture and Industry
a joke. and involve US in trouble with
foreign nations whose subjects and trade
interests would be injuriously affected by
cur evacuation and abandonment
No; we are bound to keep faith but not
uureasonably to our own detriment The
Cubans must first demonstrate their ca
paoity for self -governmen, under the tute-
Iaga Of the United States before they can
be left TO their own devices. They must
show material progress, and progress in
ability to manage first municipal and then
larger affairs. before we can afford 10 with
draw any Of our authority over them. or
any OF our troops. If they, or any con-
siderable part of them. should elect TO
rebel against our paramount authority,
then such an act would relieve US of re-
spousibility TO consider their island or
their cause from a sentimental point Of
view. and leave us in the position which
it is unfortunate we did not occupy from
the beginning.
Il is to be hoped that the
ignorant masses of Cuba and their
demagogtc leaders may be open to
the counsels of the conservative
and property owning minority of their
people. IT, Notwithstanding good advice
and the certain consequences awaiting re-
bellion they elect to take the warpath,
they viii only have themselves 10 blame.
They viii not be opposing Spain, and they
VIII be suppressed and cleaned out We
did not intervene in Cuba TO erect a
Guinea Coast savagery near our shores.
We VIII have an orderly semi-indepen-
dency, the foreign relations of which shall
be under American suzerainty, or we VIII
annex the island.

nTHE SENATE CURRENCY BILL.
1t VIII Differ From the Measure Pre-
parch for the lInnsc


Senator Allison. who arrived from New
York last night, said the subcommittee OF
the Senate Committee on Finance would
meet in the committee room on Saturday
morning to complete its work on the. Cur
rency bill. He said It would differ some
what from the House caucus bII as pub
lished yesterday morning, but declined 20
say in what particulars Mr. Allison said
the bill would declare for the gold stand
ard. CT rather. reafiirm it, but he would not
say in what manner the declaration would
be made When completed he said the
bill would be presented to the Committee
on Finance and would reach the Senate as
a committee bill.
Mr.. Allison cid rot think the Senate
would transact any business on Monday,
but would adjourn as soon as it met.
Owing TO the death of Vice President Ho-
bart the President would probably not send
in his message on Monday. as usual, so the
Senate could adjourn on the announcement
OF Mr. H0hart's death
A caucus Of the Senate viii probably
be held on Tuesday for the purpose Of Sc
lecting a committee to make up the list
of the committees OF the Senate. Mr.. Al
lison did not think the question Of a change
of officers of the Senate would be taken
up at this caucus. as that was a matter
that could be left 70 another time. As the
officers Of the Senate held over until their
successors were elected, the Senate does
not have to elect its officers every two
years, as the House does.

The salon in America.

It is reported that a rich New York
woman desires TO revive" the French
salon this winter. Shrewd observers Of
New York society doubt whether the thing
can be done. The salon in the French
sense of the word is an exotic here and
likely TO remain so.
There are some characteristics Of Amer
icaD society which might very well be
eliminated and one is the tendency to
"try on" all sorts OF fashions brought from
the Old World instead of evolving new
ones based on true tact and straightfor-
ward logic. There are too many people in
this country who think they are doing the
correct thing when they copy a custom or
on article Of furniture which they have
seen in Europe. carrying The one to ex-
tTemes and celebrating the other out OF
all naturaIncss and beauty. great deal
OF this kind Of copying reminds one Of the
custom which used to obtain a few years
ago in a lower stratum Of society-that Of
gliding milking stools, ears of corn, and
frying pans. and putting them in the parIor
with ribbons tied on them somewhere. A
great deal Of fun was made of that. but It
is really not bit funnier than serving a
luncheon for young girls in an elaborate
fashion suited to women OF great worldly
dignity, nor is il much worse than mass
ing great quantities Of American Beauty
roses in a way which no more displays
their charms than the making Of a doormat
out OF Violcls. a salon constructed on the
principle which has governed these adapta-
tiors in the past would probably be dis
aslrous failure on large scale.
But the fundamental idea Of the salon is
a very good one, and, practically, it has
been carried out by many clever and
charming American women. Society" as
the word is generally understood, is, blunt
ly speaking, an arrangement for the MAX
ing OF marriages and the furthering Of So
cial ambitions. The young people take
part in it till they have found their chosen
mates; then they are quite likely to drop
out The mammas take part in it for the
purpose Of arranging advantageous social
connections for themselves and their fam
lies. The paterfamilias generally keeps
out Of 1t as much as he possibly can.
This arrangement OF things is bad from
two or three points of view. In the first
place it reduces the father OF the family TO
a money making machine. because when
he has come home from business in the
evening he has no inclination to go to a
place whore he win meet no congenial per-

BALTIMORE, Nov. 29.-Hr. James
Kitchen. who has been acting as the agent
of the New York syndicate which viii
shortly make an offer for the city's inter
ests in the Western Maryland Railroad,
was in Baltimore today and saw Mayor
Hayes and City Register J. Frank Supplee.
Mr.. Kitchen had nothing to say in refer
eHce to the progress Of the negotiations for
the road. He did not disclose when the
syndicate expected TO forward It's offer for
the city's interests, and had nothing to say
in regard to the rumored change of the
plans of the syndicate. which is now said
to be considering the advisdbiIity of simp
ly purchasing the city's holding of bonds
instead Of proposing that the city should
institute foreclosure proceedings against
the company and later sell The road out
right to the syndicate.
During his interview with Mayor Hayes,
Mr.. Kitchen asked for and received let
ter of Introduction to the new city solicit
tor, Mr.. Bernard Carter. He explained
that the syndicate's lawyers would wish to
confer with MIR. Carter and clear up some
doubtful legal points in connection with
the transactions of the road.
Mr.. Kitchen got frCm Colonel Supplee
copies OF the bonds on which the company
had not paid interest for the purpose. it
it is supposed, of securing references 10 the
ordinances under which the city was au
thorized 10 buy the bonds and become
