Three Oaks. Mich. Dec. 15.-This village
has been much wrought up over the pos
sibility that It may not receive the Dewey
cannon awarded Il for having contributed
the largest sum per capita towards the
Maine monument fund. Some one, It
seems, has questioned the right OF Admi-
raj Dewey to give away the cannon.
Admiral Dewey Is quoted as saying on
the subject:
when Capt Hooper OF the revenue
cutter McCulioch brought off the Span
ish gun from CorTegidor Island he
thought II would be a nice thing TO give
to the society In the United States that
was building a monument to the martyrs
of the Maine. / consented and the gun
was delivered at San Francisco, by the
McCulloch, and the committee decided to
award It TO the city or town giving the
largest sum of money for the monument
In proportion to population. Three Oaks
won 1t, and was entitled to It, and now
some one questions my right to give the
cannon away. II was mine, wasn't It?
II did not violate the rules OF the navy
department in giving the gun away. but
! was violating them every day. / was
Obliged to. Now IL they attempt to take
the cannon away from Three oaks l shall

Ratify the Treaty

Col. J. N. Smithee is out in az editorial in the Gazette over his own signature advocating a ratifica. ton of the treaty with Spain. He very correctly says that ''its ratiti- cation does not involve the future government of the Philippine isl ands, aud that he thinks 'our Sen. ators are in error in opposing the ratification of the treaty.
 It is not very often that the Graphic has the distinguished peas ure of agreeing with the editor of the Gazette on public questions, but we do So most heartily in the above. In our opinion nothing is to be gained by opposing the peace treaty with Spain. It would only bring on disorder and chaos. Spain and the United States would be just where they were at the surrender of San tiago. There would be nothing to do except to 20 to war again or ne. gotiate new treaty of peace, And then, the honor Of the nation is in. volved. Having negotiated treaty we should abide by it. The future government of the Philippines could then be settled more easily and speedily than under existing condi- tions, for until the treaty of peace is ratified, the Americans have no rights at Manila except as conquer OTIS.
 Ia our opinion a number of our greatest Democratic statesmen, in- cluding the two Senators from this State, are making serious mistake in opposing the ratification of the treaty of peace. They are placing themselves before the country as obstructionists, and destroying con. fidence in the Democratic party. If anything were to be accomplished by defeating ratification, there would be some excuse for their course, but they can vote to ratifY the treaty of peace and still be op posed to expansion and the acquisi tiGn of the Philippines.

Another's View.

The saloon keepers Of Pine Bluff have declared d that it would be ruin, ous to their business to close their back doors on Sundays. Upon this declaration thd prosecuting attorn- ey of the circuit have consented for them to admit customers at their back doors oa Sundays, with the understanding that each saloon keeper is to donate s to the school fund every Monday morning. This generosity is marvellous in view of the fact that they could have ad- mitted customers on Sundays through their back door entrance without paying cent. We do net suppose that the saloon keepers in Pine Bluff have any less regard for the Sunday laws than those of other towna. Now, when the prohibition laws are violated the advocates of saloons declare at once that the law is failure and therefore should be repealed. If that position is correct why not apply the same logic to the violation of the license law. The truth is, the regulation theory of liquor has been exploded a long time There is but one rational and right eous remedy for this monster evil and that is prohibition. This will not extirpate it but will diminish it's baleful results, To place it under the ban of public sentiment de- creases it's power aud influence. Ozark Democrat.

More Than He Could Stand

Uncle Alive w. Davis, an uncle of ].
r. Morse, of this city. arrived here
Saturday afternoon with the intention
OF remaining all winter for the benefit
of his health. Yesterday Mr..
Morse suggested that Mr.. Davis &C
company him to thu bull fight and
as 1t was something new to the visi-
tor the two went across the river and
into the arena. While the second bull
was receiving the attention of the ma
tabor the old gentleman tainted away
and Mr.. Morse at once went to sum-
mon physician and get brandy with
which TO revive him,
Mr.. Morse's actions created great
deal of commotion and all sorts of
rumors were set af1oat. Before the
doctor arrived Mr.. Davis had fully re-
covered and left the enclosure. He is
able to be around today and says that
the inviRorating climate of Ell Paso
makes him feel ten years younger.

Sundays Runaway.

Yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock
J. J. Taylor and wife were out driving
in east Ell Paso.
He got out of the rig to shoot at
something, when the horses became
frightened and commenced running.
He grabbed the bits just as his wife
who had hole of the lines turned the
borses into q fence.
Mr.. Taylor was hurt about the
stomach, although he was able to ap-
pear at his place of business this morn
ing. The horses and buggy were but
slightly injured, DR.. Villas attended
Mr. Taylor.

At the Bull Fiqht.

A bout fifteen hundred people, most
ly Americans, assembled in the arena
in Juarez yesterday to witness the bull
fight. Four bulls we're slaughtered
and dragged out. The second bull was
pierced with matadOr's sword five
times but it never reached the vital
spot and the bull walked around the
arena bleeding profusely from the
wounds. It was finally lassoed and
was applied to its brain and the agony
ended. For this poor exhibition the
matador was "hissed" very freely.
1t is the opinion of great many that
the company could, and should, i'm
prove on the matsdor. The picadors
and bsnderilleros did their work we'll
and were applauded frequently.

BEER in MEXICO.
Consul KlndrlCk OF Juarez Tells
The State Department All
About If,

United States Consul Kindrick OF
Jusrez has prepared for the tate de-
partment at Washington the following
concerning the importation and use
of beer by the Mexican republic:
Until within the past few years beer
has not been in favor in Mexico. 1t
has not been very long since it first
found market In the republic.
Formerly the Mexicans drank only the
white wines and clsrets from Europe
and cognac and their native liquors,
such as mescal, tequila and pulque.
Within the last few years extensive
breweries have been established in diff
ferent cities. The breweries at Mon
terey and chihuahua have proved so
plants have already planned their en-
largement and increased capacity. Beer
can be had on tap at the most remote
saloons in the republic.
Beer is also imported in large guam
titles and the imported beer is distri-
buted throughout the republic. At the
custom house in this city during the
$40, 800 was imported. Most OF. that
which entered at the custom house in
this city came from ST. Louis. The
breweries in that city have practically
the control of this market. Beer Is
imported in kegs and also in bottles.
It comes packed both in barrels and
cases, and is usually put up in quart
bottles.
Lager beer imported from the Unit
ed States is subject to an import tax.
The duties on bottled beer, with no al
lowance for waste or breakage , is 20
cents in Mexican meney per net kilo-
gram equal to q pOunds-and the duty
on Is pounds in United States money
would be 8 cents. calculating the rate
of exchange at As cents.
The duty on beer in barrels per net
kilogram is 8 cents Mexican, a trif1e
less than 4 cents in our currency
subject to duty of 181 per cent of the
whole tariff.
Beer is purchased Wholesale in this
city on about the same conditions as it
is sold to purchasers in the United
States. The shipper is not responsible
for waste or breakage.
The wholesale price of beer varies
according to the keenness of cOmpeti-
tion between the different breweries.
The beverage is sold over the bar in
this city for 10 cents per glass in Mex
lean money, or so cents for quart
bottle. In trade like this, American
money counts two for one, and. instead
| of paying 10 cents Mexican, 5 cents in
American money is acceptable for a
glass of beer and % cents
American for quart bottle.
The various brands of beer, whether
made in Mexico or the United States
retail at the same price in the saloons.
Two trunk lines-the Texas and Paci-
fic and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe-connect with the Mexican Central
at this place. Ketelsen & Degetau
and Dieter & Sauer are the leadin g
Wholesale dealers in Ciudad Juarez

printer are mourning lost money, and

stranger who worked the scheme on
them. The strangers name is given as
Lewis, and his act was to print several
thousand cards in the nature of an Off

pictures of the leading officials, and a
large number of advertisements. He
went so far as to collect his money,
have few proofs struck off and then
left town on a quick call.
