PERIOD OF MOURNING
FOR THE QUEEN.

London, Jan. 2s.-A supple
ment of the Gazette this afternoon
announces that it is not desired
that the public wear deep mourn
ing after March E, but that half
mourning should be worn until
April II.
There has been strong outcry
from manufacturers and tner-
chants at the prolonged period of
mourning. The dealers regarded
the first edict with dismay and a
widespread injury to colored
goods. In many cases ac tual ruin
was anticipated. Following the
precedent of 1868, when the city
merchants petitioned George III
to Curtail the period of mourning,
the trade circles in the United
Kingdom have already started a
petition to King Edward VII,
begging him to limit the period
of national mourning. On previ-
GUS occasions the king, as Prince
Of Wales, used his influence in
this direction, and now, as king,
it is asserted by his we'll known
opposition to observance of long
periods of official mourning that
the prayer of the petitioners will
be granted,

The Beers are still fighting in
South Africa and the end of the
war is no nearer than when it be-
gan, SO far as appearances go. 1t
seems England will have to adopt
Uncle Sans plan, and send them
to St. Helena. Of course, it will
take time to catch all of them,
but it could be done finally-at
any rate during the present cent
tury, and that is about as soon as
we SHALL get the Filipino insur-
gents all sent to Guam.

HAZ!N6 AT WEST POINT.

West Point Military Academy
is educating a lot of cowardly
"Rufians" who think it proper to
cruelty punish new students, even
causing the death of the same,
and call it hazing. Such have
not the instincts of gentlemen
and ought rather to be in the pen
itentiary. If congress will do its
duty, hazing will stop, or the
school will cease to exist; for if it
is impossible to procure young
men of gentlemanly instincts to
educate for the army, then the
government should certainly not
educate cowards and "Ruffians. y

The Chinese situation is more
serious than for some time. In
fact, peace negotiations are at an
end. The powers have asked im-
possible things of the Emperor,
and there the matter must end un-
less demands are modihed. Ger
many has asked that the General
of the largest apd most powerful
army in China shall be beheaded:
This General has the Chinese
Emperor in custody. So, how can
the Emperor comply? This means
more war and final dissolution of
the Chinese Empire.

The republican papers carry
the picture of Governor Otero as
their choice for Governor. We
don't object to this, but if in do
ing SO, they represent the senti-
ments of the republican party of
the Territory, then we pity the
republican party. Do the people
know, and do some of these edit
Ors know, that Governor Otero
supported the coal oil bill that
passed the last legislature, and
that took ten or twelve thousand
dollars from the public school
fund, and gave as a present, in
effect, to the chairman of the Ter
ritorial Republican Central Com
mittee? Or do they think that
the poor children of this Terrific
ry whose parents are not able to
send them to school and pay,
have no rights that republican
officials should respect? Is this
your position gentlemen? Either
you are ignorant Of the facts, or
you hold the latter view. In
either case, you are not to be en-

board which sold the lands in the
Sacramento Mountain for three
dollars an acre, when they could
have been sold for much more.
Your candidate also favored and
approved all the extravaganza of
the 53rd Legislative Assembly in
Guiding the fee and salary bill.
Ii Governor Otero represents the
ideas of the republican party re-
specting legislation, then may
God have mercy on the republican
party.

Hon. Jas. F. Hidkle has intro
duced d bill in the council to
issue bonds to the AMOUNT of
SIS, 900 to add another building
to those they already have, at
at the Military Institute at Ros-
we'll. The bill provides for the
sale of school lands to pay the
bonds. Better sell the bonds first
and then build the house. The
fact is these lands will be sacri-
feed, as were timbered lands III
the Sacramento Mountains, if this
bill passes, as they will then
have to be sold at any price to
redeem the bonds. The Sacra-
mento timber lands worth from
ten to fifty dollars an acre, were
sold for three dollars an acre, the
minimum price, by our land COM
missioners. These lands if sold
at all should have been sold to
the highest bidder; but the 1egis-
lature has empowered a commits
sion to sell aud they fix the price,
at anything they see fit above;
thus, if this business goes on, will
all these lands be sacrificed, and
gobbied up by corporations, and
thousands of settlers will be kept
out of New Mexico, as desirable
citizens are not going to become
tenants on land owned by corpor-
ations.

A FEMALE coLleeEAr ROSWELL.

Prominent citizens of Roswell
have taken steps towards the
building of female college at

be. Roswell has the right sort of
people, and her business men are
in the front when it comes to
looking after the interests of the
town.

Hanna's ship subsidy bill is
having a hard time in congress.
This is a bill to enable the Ohio
Senator, Hanna, and his asso-
ciatcS to make a few millions at
the expense of the government,
simply by building ships and en-
gagiug in the transportation bus
mess, which others find profitable
without any subsidy. If other
people can build ships and operate
lines of transportation, for what
they can make out of it, in COM
petition with all comers, and with
out government aid, then why
can not Hanna and Morgan? But
Hanna is not built that way. He
is not running the republican
party altogether for his health,
and he is not averse to doing
something for himself and friends
when the opportunity offers.
If we are to pay men for build
ing and operating their own ships,
why not pay everybody else for
engaging in any and all kinds Of
business? One is just as the
other. If bounty is paid to one,
why not to all2 Pay the merchant

OTERo VS.. DoNA ANA.

The boards Of commissioners of
the counties of Otcro and Dona
Ana are having some little diff
Guilty in settling the indebtedness
of The former.
The pro rata of the Indebtedness
OF Otero to Dona Ana, by virtue
of the territory taken from Dona
Ana to form a portion of Otero, is
S14, 900. The Commissioners of
Dona Ana, backed up by two or
three local capitalists, want to
take Otero County's bonds at par
and cancel the indebtedness, but
the commissioners of Otcro Couu-
ty want to dispose of the bonds
themselves, which under the law
they have perfect right to do,
pay Dona Ana county the cash,
and reserve the premium for
which the bonds would sell.
The fact that the bonds would
sell at a premium in the open
market induced the speculative
gentlemen behind the Dona Ana
commissioners to demand the
bonds. w. H. II. Llewellyn has
pledged himself, so report hath
it, that if he IS permitted to break
into the legislature, that he will
introduce and push a bill where
by Otero may make over her bonds
TO Dora Ana.
This would be nice thing for
the Dona Ana board to take the
bonds at par, sell them at par to
some local political favorites, when
the bonds would really demand a,
fair premium.

TO CURE THE GRIP.
Advice of a Famous Physician.

Advice of a Famous Physician.
First and foremost REST.
Take care of yourself. Your already
weakened nerves want rest, and must
have it. If the attack is severe, go to
bed and remain there. More fatali-
ties result from neglect of this pre-
caution than from any other cause.
Eat sparingly. Your digestive or
gans are in no condition to take care
of large quantities of food.
Drink plenty of pure, cold water.
1T allays the fever, stimulates the kid
neys to action and opens up the pores
of the skin. Keep the bowels open
with DR.. Niles Nerve and Liver Pills.
Take three doses of DR.. Miles, Merry
inc per day, and if you cannot sleep
take an extra dose at bed time. To
further control the fever, and to over
come the peculiar aches and pains of
grip, use DR.. Miles, Pain Pills. They
act quickly and effectually, and no bad
effects result from their use. These
remedies have been thoroughly tested
more than a million times, and their
efficiency is thoroughly established.
