May, lsgS. He was wounded ia the

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
Dead, Dead.

If we are 10 accept outward indi-
cations as evidence of inward con
ditions, then things among the
'pressmen" are becoming "queer."
The authorship of the late "Inqui-
~ Bill" or rather a bill to inquire
into the moral, intellectual, mater
ial, religious. Industrial, CONNER
cial and political condition of the
colored people of the United States,
seems, if we are to judge from the
pros and cons on the subject, as
CLEANED from our exchanges, to be
shrouded in impenefrable gloom.
Just why the authorship should be
the matter in boiling controversy
is a subject for sober minded peO-
pie to wonder at, but perhaps the
authorship was the whole push and
the shuttle was for that distinction.
Some contend that the phraseOlOgy
was loose and lacked teshnieality
and legislative ear-marks; others
that the bill was ungramatically
drawn, while others are of the opin-
ion that the bill was reported from
copy. But whatever may be the case,
the authorship has caused great
contention. But why should we
trouble ourselves about the bill
The thing did not pass, and whether
it was drawn MP by the wrong man
Or whether it had the wrong ring
or whether it was ungramatlcal'
seems but little to the purpose.
Whether the bill died from inani-
ton, suicide or just because there
was not a particle of sense or reason
in it one way or the other, cuts no
figure. The bill is dead, dead,
dead. And may the resurrection
be long deferred.

ran, Of Wells, Fargo G Co., and I
have seen many Christmas rushes. but
this year is the greatest I have ever
known. | do not mean to say that W
have been swamped. We will take all
packages which may be consigned to
us and we will guarantees that they
will be safely and promptly delivered
What | mean is that the advance
business is 10Y as great as it was .
few days before Christmas last rear.
and IL the rush nearer the holidays il
proportionate, we will do this year the
greatest business which has ever been
done here.
I'VE have adopted a new method OF
sending Christmas packages this year,
and one which | know will appeal to
those who nave goods which they de-
sire to send east. You know that all
packages which are sent by mail are
dumped into a pouch and are tumbled
about in a car until 1t often happens
that many packages are broken. Our
new system is different. We use .
number of large boxes or trunks. Sup
pose a man wants to send a package
to Kansas City. That package Is plac-
ed in a trunk along with many other
packages and the trunk Is locked and
taken to a car. 1t is not necessary to
open that trunk until Kansas City Is
reached. and thus the package is han
died only by the nan who places it in
the trunk.
Nov we may have half a dozen or
more trunks for Kansas City on each
train which leaves here. and say ten
or more for Chicago and about three
for New York. Those trunks are not
opened until they reach their destinar
ton. Suppose a present is sent to some
town neal Chicago. With our new sys-
TEN it is like sending the package from
the Chicago office, for 1t Is handled no
more than II it were SEM from there
I'VE believe this system will be very
satisfactory to our patrons. We are
prepared to take are of all business
which may be offered. and will deliver
goods as fast as trains from the east,
west and south bring them in"

n Il SIDE
What the Opponents Of Statehood Are
Wiring From Washington.

The following articles are taken
from the Los Angeles Times, being
wired as special dispatches to that
paper from Washington. under date of
December 16:
After two days of actual debate in
the senate, IL has been practically
agreed. all around. with the exception
of Senator Quay. that the statehood
bill is hopelessly dead for this con
gress and that not even Oklahoma will
be admitted, let alone Arizona and
New Mexico. One thing that is operat-
ing against the omnibus statehood bill
is the vindictiveness of some advo-
Gates of statehood for Arizona. who
have fallen to abusing every senator
who fails to agree that Arizona is not
fully equipped to take her place in the
union.
There Is vast amount of such abuse
in Washington just now. 1t Is com.
ing in letters from Arizona, and is
doing an i~nculculable amount Of harm
to the entire statehood prospect.
Albuquerque daily citizen. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1895-1903, 1902-12-20
QUAY Would Own EN-.

New reasons for defeating the ON
nibus statehood bill, the discussion
of which was begun in the senate to-
Gay, have been put forward by the OPP
position in a quiet way. and amount to
the practical statement that il Arizona
and New Mexico were admitted, Sena-
tor Quay would ''own" the two new
senators.
II is openly said among the members
OF the opposition that one of Senator
Quay's chief reasons for advocating
the omnibus bill is that he wished to
bring to the senate his well known pc.
litical friend, William II. Andrews, for
merly of Pennsylvania, who is now liv.
ing in New Mexico.
Another statement freely made is
that a brother of Senator Penrose,
who has large financial interests in the
territory, also wishes to become Unit
ed States senator. o. this account,
the statehood contest, which is still
in an acute stage, is. among other
questions, turning on the point as to
whether Pennsylvania will have four
United States senators or only two.

PLAYED A JOKE.
AND THE VICTIM RAN UNTIL
HE FELL IN A FAINT.

For the past several weeks and dur
ing the past summer the residents Of
the Little addition and the employees
of the yard office of the local l. @.
road had been seeing lights in the
marshes and the hollows near the road
and in the vicinity Of the l. @. depot.
The light, which is undoubtedly the
will-o -the-wisp, was seen again sew
eral days ago and the negroes Of that
section became alarmed, thinking it
was a ghost of some one killed by the
railroad.
There has also been seen about the
yards an animal resembling a wolf
which appeared in. the woods at differ
ent intervals making tine most hor-
rible sounds imaginable. Tuesday
night one Of the colored employees Of
the yard department was sent to town
on an errand and upon his return the
yard employees had fixed up a joke to
scare him. They procured green
piece of cloth and tied it about a
lighted lantern and stationed them
selves behind trees in a hollow
through which the negro had to pass
to reach the yard office. Pretty soon
he was seen coming down the track,
and the lantern was produced just as
he neared the hiding place of the jok-
ers. The men set up dismal howl,
and waving the lantern started in
pursuit of the merge, who had lost no
time in getting away from the viciu-
ity. When. he reached the yard office
he fell in faint, and it required some
little time to restore him to his normal
condition.
