Representative Mudd was chosen yes

three votes and Mr.. Baker two. Mr..
Mudd was supported by Senator Nc

the slightest ill-feeling over the result. II

service and as the member OF the last
committee would seem to have had a
right to expect a reelection.

Macrum'S Mistake,

1t seems that when Macrum was or
dered to act as the agent Of the British
In the matter of distributing charity to
needful subjects of Great Britain, in the
enforced absence from Pretoria Of the
English consul, the American consul
did not know that the action was GUS
tomary in such cases, and felt that he
was debased by being compelled to act
for the nation with which he did not
sympathize, while his vice consul was
fighting for the Beers. So Macrum
wished to come home, demonstrate with
the secretary of state, and tell him what
bad people the English were. Had Ma
crum read the newspapers and learned
that during the war between the Unit
ed States and Spain the British consul
that during the siege of Paris the
American minister's home was the ha-
ven of Germans shut up in Paris, the
consul might not have worried himself
out of a job. Macrum was a small pol
itician in Ohio, and secured his position
to what was considered an unimportant
post through personal acquaintance
with the president; who perhaps
thought the fellow had sense enough to
represent this country at a post where
there is ordinarily nothing to do but
draw a salary, and act in much the
same capacity as a notary public. If

The Curtain is Up.

When Secretary Seward engineered
the deal whereby the United States ac-
quired Alaska, he predicted that the
Pacific ocean would soon become the
theater of the worlds events. The ex-
pectation has been realized. The cur
tain has been rung up and Uncle sam
is the star on the boards. The United
States has secured a foothold upon the
eastern shore of the Pacific, and will
soon be doing more business there than
any other nation. This country has al
so the halfway stations in the middle of
the ocean, and spanned across the Ca
madam country in buying Alaska. In
the course of time Canada will become
American territory by the law of grav-
itation. When the United States has
the entire coast from Mexico northward
the Pacific will become as active COM
m%ercially, with steamers running be-
tween the two shores of the Pacific and
from the Atlantic, through the Nicara-
qua canal, as the ocean separating
America and Europe.

Looks Like Tide Has Turned.

The British are not yet out Of he
woods in South Africa, but they have
certainly gained a great strategical vic
tory in swinging around and relieving
Kimberley. From there to the capital
of the Free State is comparatively level
ground. Heretofore the fighting has
been in the hills. The English forces
in reach of Kimberley are large, and a
campaign from that direction may be
more successful than was one directed
from the south toward Ladysmith. The
British commander has evidently con
Guided to let Ladysmith wait, since the
Beers We're unable to take the place
when there were no attacks upon the
besieging forces to distract them. Be-
ing unable to cross the fence which
stood in front of them, the British have
gone around the obstacle and driven
the enemy from a weak point. The
vaal countrymen, and now that the
Free State capital is menaced by supe-
rior numbers, may make terms rather
than fight with that persistence which
has marked the defense by the people
Of the Transvaal. There may be other
surprises for the British at an early
day. The world has never doubted,
however, hat in the end the Beers
would be outnumbered and whipped.
The advance of the British to Kimber-
ley and the retreat Of the Beers Is but
the beginning of the end, though that
end may not come at once, o for
many months.

NEW MEXICO INDIAN SCHOOLS.
What Is Said of Them By Superintendent
Estelle Reel.

In the annual report of Superintend-
ent Estelle Reel of Indian schools, are
the following comments:
Santa Fe Indian School, vas at this
school from May 7 to May IA. This is
an industrial school. The average at
tendance for the year has been 225, but
the last quarter carried an average Of
nearly 300. The pupils, many of them
from the pueblos of New Mexico, are
remarkably energetic, and all lines of
work are carried with enthusiasm.
The buildings are poor, and a number
of repairs are needed. An addition to
the girls wing of the main building
should be made in order to accommodate
more pupils, and an enlargement of the
shops and increased water supply are
absolute necessities.
Nambe and Tesuque Pueblo Day
schools-A number of day schools are
in this vicinity. The pueblo Of Nambe,
IS miles from Santa Fe, was visited, as
was also Tesuque. At Nambe is an ex-
cellent day school, and the contrast be-
tween this village and Tesuque, where
no school had been established, is a

Religious training is carefully given.
Albuquerque Indian School-On May
IA | arrived at Albuquerque, remaining
until the Goth. The general condition
of this school is excellent and the at
tendance is good, about 300 being ac-
c~ommodated. The school building is
n of the best l have so far observed,
being commodious and we'll ventilated,
but the shops are small and should be
enlarged. The farm Of go acres is poor.
Agriculture in this part of the country
is very difficult, but as rapidly as pos
sible the land is being put in proper con
dition and set to alfalfa.
The live stock is in good condition and
shows careful attention. The water
system has been very much improved,
the bathing facilities bettered, and the
buildings replastered and retloored al
most throughout.
The literary and industrial work of
the school is of a superior character and
the corps Of teachers efficient The
religious welfare of the children is care

#Fjshjnu For Suckers.

All the "get-rich quick" schemes have
not been exploded by the flight Of the
promoters of most Of them as soon as
they had harvested a crop of victims
with more dollars than sense. At the
office of the secretary of New Mexico
inquiries are frequently received from
companies organized in the states to So
licit the money of persons eager for
large returns. One of the latest of these
desiring to know whether it a do
business in this territory is a "bankers'
investment company at York, Il jay
town in Nebraska. The company claims
a capital of but s75, 900, yet guarantees
that an investor will receive 50 for ev-
/ that the returns will come within thir-
ty-nine months from the first monthly
installment RENTED by the investor. 1t
is the small money owners that the
company expects as victims, for men
who have had ability and judgment
enough to make much money never
dump their ducats into the mill of a
company which promises more than it
can perform. The people of New Mexi-
co are making money in these prosper
Gus days. Some of them save earnings,
but do not need to send the lucre away
from home to secure employment for 1t
with satisfactory profit from its use. AS
interest rates in Nebraska are much
lower than in New Mexico it is very
evident hat only speculation could Sc
cure the returns this investment COM
pany offers. If any are foolish
enough to remit dollars to village spec
ulators in Nebraska, not much sympa-
thy is due when they lose their money.

of Importance, Doubtless the object of
the Tennessee politician in singing out
the sugar trust for attack was to con-
vey the idea that it was aided by the
Republican tariff law, which was passed
to establish the beet sugar industry in
this country. It is now the favorlte and
perhaps the only way Of attacking the
tariff, by claiming thai it is responsible
for the growth of trusts, although the
sugar trust was perhaps more powerful
in the days Of Cleveland and the Will
son free trade compromise than at pres
emit. For the purpose of attacking tariff
legislation the Standard Oil Company
cannot serve as a horrible example, be-
cause there is no tariff on oil or its
products. But as a slight duty is i'm
posed upon imported sugars, the sugar
trust, established many years ago,
serves as a text for the Tennessee lead
