Sioux Falls, S. D., Feb. 26.-The experience
Of this city in holding a special election for

MEXICAN GUARDS
VERY STRICT.


Complaint i made by some OF on
neightor- OF Matamoros that, under
the new customs ruling, the guards
are much more strict than formerly,
not allowing them TO carry even small
purchases from Brownsville with
out paying duties. Even a bar of
soap,or pound of lard, they say, is
confi~cated at the ferry, if one tres
to take it over without paying a1?.
whereas formerly such articles in
small quantities were passed with
out notice 1t appears probable
that the new order, while apparent
lv more liberal than the former
rule Of paying duties at the Gus
tom house, is really intended to
protect the home merchants of
Matamoros. By collecting duties
on ali articles purchased on this
side, no matter how small, or con
fiscating the same. people residing
on the Mexican side will not find it
to their advantage to by on this
side SO much as forl Erly. Such
articles * soan lard canned ooods
etc, sell cheaper on is side, and
naturally the people from the OPP
posite border would prefer 10 buy
here if they could take their pur-
chases home duty free, which used
to be generally permitted, when
only small quantities of such ar
ticles were taken over.
