A Card of Thanks.

Tn the multitude of counsellors there is wisdom" it is said. I some times doubt this aposthegm, but am in no doubt as to the truth of the proverb now set forth: 'In the multi tude of friends there is consolation. '" And I wish to say and thank all those good friends who helped me on Wed nesday evening by word and deed when the fire demon scattered my household Gods. My heartfelt thanks to all who worked for me and to all who subsequently offered me hospi- tality. Fred. T. Bennett

THE PORTO RlcAN CASES.

"A decision was rendered on Mon day in the supreme court of the United States covering all issues con- nected with the Porto Rico tariff cases and our new insular possessions. Although several of the decisions up held the contestants on certain issues raised, yet in the most important de- cision, that of Downs vs. Bidwell, Justice Brown announced sweeping decision of the court upholding the general attitude and policy of the government up to the present time. The effect of this decision is to affirm the constitutionality of the Foraker act and to give congress power to deal with the newly acquired territory in such manner as the legislative branch may consider suitable for the new territory. The decision also has the effect of declaring that the new insular possessions do not by virtue of the treaty of cession acquire all the privileges and rights of the constitu- ton.
 In the Downs case involving the va lidity of duties on imports from Por to Rico subsequent to the Porto Rican tariff act the court decided that while Porto Rico is now territory of the United States it is not such for tariff purposes and that the Foraker act is constitutional. The decision in the Downs case involving as it does the status of Porto Rico at the present time, is most important of all de- cisions rendered, establishing the right of congress to fix import duties on Porto Rican products and denying the contention that Porto Rico is an integral part of the union as far as tariff regulations are concerned.
 The court goes back to the period in which the republic was formed and the constitution framed, and en- deavors to ascertain what was the in. tent of the founders of the nation.
 The opinion of the majority of the court disposes of the uniform taxa ton clause of the constitution which has been invoked by all the appel lants in these cases, in the following manner: The framers of the consti tuition in writing that clause, had nc thought of its application to territo- rial possessions. No such question as is DOW presented had arisen il their minds; the clause, "all duties imposes and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States" tho court holds, was placed in the con stitution as the result of the jealous ies of the states which united il forming the nation. 1t was intended to prevent any state or combination of states securing advantage over an other or others; to prevent the port of one state gaining preference ove those of another in the importation O goods.
 This rule of uniformity was mad primarily for the states united, th' oo,,rt holds mt for tar.r-itoriac tba, possessed or afterward acquired anC the constitutional requirement is sat isfed as long as all duties on import are uniformly imposed at all tn ports throughout the United States The advantageof this uniformity ma, be extended to territories and posses sions of the American Union, but tha is for congress to determine under tn authority of the constitution.

The contract provides that on the first day of each month he shall deliver enough manu- script to fill the editorial columns each day that month. This is done so the printer wont have to "wait for copy" When he passed through town Monday he had a grip filled with enough editorials to fill his con tract for the coming month. Judging by the smoke that occasionally puffed from the grip, many of the editorials were hot ones.-Lordsburg Liberal.

From MAY 5. 1S57. until early in 1861.
some thirty camels that had become ac-

WHAT DREANs 1rAY coME.
sleep Dreaded b. the Majority of
Criminals.

/
Criminologists say that the greatest
terror that aalictsethat fraction Of hu-
manity suffering from an uneasy con
science is not dread, of the police. by
any means, not awe OF any other ac-
knowledged enemy or law deders.
What the criminal breads is sleep.
Sleep is, it appears. the friend Of the
righteous only. To men with the knowl-
edge of dark deeds stored wi, lin them
| sleep is the most treacherous of foes
The countless poems that have been writ
ten in praise OF it very naturally appear
as so much cold-blooded mockery to such
as are in hourly dread OF betraying them
selves under its influence.
An untold number Of crimes have seen
confessed by their perpetrators during
sleep. Is IL any wonder that those con-
scious OF irregularities of conduct prefer
TO remain awake?
1t was not long ago that a well-known
New York detective happened to be trav-
cling In sleeping car. The detective,
who CHANGED TO be occupying a certain
lower berth, heard the sleeper above him
burst forth into long-wiDded confession
regarding several daring jewelry robber
les wherein he had taken rart. Much i'm
pressed. the official kept an eye on him.
Further enquiries proved that the con-
fession had been an exact record of what
had taken place.
Many years ago a common lodging
house was the scene OF a sleeping crimi
nails confession. The room occupied by
himself and one other-a young sailor.
While the sailor was lying awake he
suddenly heard curious and CHASTITY
laugh issue from his room companions
lips. The laugh was followed by long
and rambling description of a murder
he had committed horrible in its details.
The sailor crept downstairs and in
formed the landlord Of what had occur
red. The latter at once summoned po-
liceman, who recognized the sleeper as
the man wanted for the crime In ques-
tion. At the trial which followed he was
found guilty and sentenced to death. As
for the sailor, he came in for consider
able reward.-Topeka Capital.

CALLING BY PROXY.
Sending ii Representative Is One of
the Latest Fnds.

the Latest Fnds.
"The fashion and etiquette writer's in
some of the English journals are making
a big ado over the matter Of calling by
proxy" said the woman who priles her
self on doing things in the right way,
but there is really no cause for all the
fuss and feathers. The idea is by no
means new. Il was tried in this town a
long while ago. The custom never grew
into great popularity. 1t is true. but it
was introduced. and by women who are
supposed to know what is what
Il well remember what shock the ln-
novation gave me at first. l had never
heard Of the practice until woman-an
English woman. too, by the way-who had
ME on her calling list, sent a representa-
tive around one day to pay her respects.
The occasion was of more than usual i'm
portance. for l was entertaining friends
from the West then. and the calls were
intended more for them than for me. In
agine, then, my surprise to receive
woman whom | had never seen before
and whose name was totally unknown to
me. The English woman's card was pre-
sented along with hers, and she fastened
to explain the secret Of her presence. The
Brltisher, It seemed, was not well enough
TO come, and, being unwilling to pass my
afternoon altogether, she had delegated
proxy to call in her stead. She must
have found the makeshift satisfactory, for
subsequently met the same agent at
several houses on the same errand. The
proxy was a very agreeable woman. and
1 must say that. aside from the novelty OF
the plan, no one seemed to regret the
substitution. Finally several other wOm-
en- whose social duties pressed too heavily
on their hands adopted the scheme OF hir-
ing proxy. and 1t Is still in vogue TO q
limited extent, although / doubt if there
is any danger OF the custom ever becom-
ing general here, as the English writer's
seem to fear win be the case on the other
side. New York Times.

salaries Increased.

The committee waxod eloquent as It
proceeded with its report: it even grew
sentimental, though all the time main
tanning an air OF dignihed resentment. Il
showed that no complaint had been made
when Congress increased the salary OF the
Attorney General from 81. 800 to $4,000 a
year. and gave better pay to all the sub
ordinatcs In all the executive depart
mcnts. Then. waxing indignant, it con-
tinued:
rs Il according to the principles Of the
Government that the legislative Offices
should sink in character and Importance
below any office, even in the highest gift
Of tie Chief Executive? Or can anything
be moro uupropitious to the success Of
free government than that the represen-
tatives of the people should estimate any
thing higher than their own seats or ind
inducements to look to any other favor
than the favor OF their constituents?' The
tone In which these questions were asked
indicates that the committees implied
answers we're, Not on your life.
This report was discussed with much
feeling and avidity. Some members even
advocated another increase In salary, but
the majority. still apprehensive of the
popular opposition to Sl,500 year, passed
a bill fixing the compensation at IS day

Long the Price.

The uniform price for an English
almanac for many years was penny. but
the monopoly increased the price. and
the imposition Of the stamp taxes after
Queen Annc's time raised it stin more.
In 17s1 "Moore's Almanac" was ninepense,
two being for the stamp; in 1886 IT rose
to 1G pence. and In 1916 TO 2 shillings and
3 pence. Between 1921 and 1890 the duty
produced an average yearly revenue Of
E31 600 TO the Government but under
william ~ this duty, then OF l5 pence
per stamp. WIS abolished. In evasion Of
the stamp acts a shabby penny almanac
was produced iu England, and many are
san sold FOR that price.
