THAT ROST.

In d conversation between Gen.
Baldwin, commander Of The depart
ment Of the Colorado who passed
through our city yesterday and an
Optic man, the question OF the mill
tary post came up. In the course Of
the conversation the general express
ed his belief that the chief hope Of
Las Vegas in this direction lay In the
opportunity Afforded by the beautiful
hotel and ground at Hot Springs. He
said that while these was no need for
the establishment Of q post In this vi
entity for purely military reasons,
that such a thing was most feasible
for sanitary reasons.
Our government has to provide
every year for the care Of thousands
Of invaded soldiers and every n OF
Its hospital posts is greatly over.
crowded.
The Fort Bayard sanitarium. the
general said. had during the five or SIX
years since its establishment taken
care Of over $4,000 patients and was
by no means able at the present time
to provide sufficient accommodation
for our sick soldiers.
President Murphy Of the Santa Fe
Prescott q Phoenix railroad. seconded
the views Of the general and said that
II the people Of Las Vegas and the
Santa Fe road would cooperate. pre-
senting to the government the I'm
equalled advantages afforded for es
tablishing a sanitary post up at thu
beautiful hotel and park \ woult
doubtless be received with favor. Thil
suggestion offers ground for sorioul
thought.

that there Ia no discrepancy. The
claim is that the discrepancy the ter

Schulz, a local artist and mining man,
has hit upon a somewhat novel and in

From the bottom OF this incline, visit

Judge Clark on Elections.
Chief Justice Walter Clark Of North
Carlina. who Is understood to be the
choice Of Col. Bryan for president,
certainly has some radical views with
reference to appointments and cleo
lions. An address recently delivered
| by him touching this matter was pub
lished In the Democrat Saturday. He
believes in the election Of all public
officers. Even postmasters and feder-
al judges should be elected by the
people according to his theory. I'm
doubtedly there have been SO many
serious abuses In the various depart
ments where positions are filed by ap
pointment that a feeling Of resentment
Is the natural consequence. The PEG
pie have been misled and their rights
curtailed. 1t Is no wonder that a feel
ing should exist In favor OF fewer ap
pointments and more elections. New
ertheless, 1t would be impracticablt
to elect all the officers who serve the
public. Judge Clark's position is tor
radical and will not meet with genera

III. & b. Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, July 7.-Our market
opened with sales of August at 11.47c,
after selling at IL .47c, II ruled at .07c,
at l D. m. During the morning the
market was another scene of excite
ment, with fluctuations as rapid as they
were wild. Little attention was paid
to any European advices, but the liqui-
dating orders were sharply watched.
To-day they seemed to come from out
side holders and not from the larger
interests. August was pressed for sale,
on what appeared an intention to force
out the bull pool. The buying of Sep
TENDER was better than the selling and,
unless the pool has parted with it's
holdings they have now little company,
in fact, the short interest has been in
creased on the decline. The bureau was
about what was expected, showing an
Improvement, with weevils increasing
in Texas At the close the market had
a more settled appearance, but the local
trade is not disposed to admit that it
is more than a natural reaction. Pres

afternoon. The spot market was quiet,

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, July There was more
appearance of speculative interest IN
to-day's stock market. The resistance
of the market in the face of dullness
seemed to encourage an attempt to put
up prices. There was no news to ac-
count for the point rise in St. Paul and
Missouri Pacific on professional opera
lions.
Despite this not very striking demon
stration the market was, but a colorless
affair-up to the last hour, and the vol
ume of dealings showed no appreciable
improvement over that of yesterday.
There was some indication of q specu-
lative contest in the last hour, in which
neither side gave signs of any great
strength. The market had begun to
sag off from inanition, but had stiffen-
ed again when heavy stream of
United States Steel stocks began to
pour upon the market. The common
was carried a point under last night,
