Restricted to the German Language.

Berlin, Dec. 1.-The fight against
the American "bugbear" in Germany
has reached a stage where it approaches
the ludicrous. An agitation is now on
for the issuance of an order prohibiting
the officers of steamers of the German
lines which cross the Atlantic from using
the English language. If Americans
travel on German steamships and wish
to make inquiries of the officers they
would thus be compelled to all talk
German. The agitation has been start
ed by the administration of a rePrimand
to Captain HogemanD, of the North
German Lloyd line Kaiser Wilhelm H.,
for opening a concert on board the yes
sci in the English language. The fact
that 90 per cent. of the passengers were
Americans did not affect the reprimand
in the least.

GENERAL CHARLES X. bRA1ToN'
member of the republican national COM
mittee from Rhode Island, is another re-
publican who is anxious to reduce the
Southern representation in Congress ioT
ma other reason than. the fact that the
South is presuming to do what certain
northern States have already done-re-
strict the right suffrage to such as should
he entitled to vote. rhe laws Of Mas
sachusetts regulating suffrage, for instance
are of such nature that democratic
leaders in Maryland are considering the
adyisability of adopting similar ones for
that State. Such individuals on General
Brayton do much toward keeping alive
sectionalism. Their mission in life seems
TO be hostile toward the southern section
of the country, and they avail themselves
of every opportunity to show their aver
sion toward peaceable and law-abiding
people. But the inconsistency OF such
persons should be apparent to all. II
il is in order to reduce southern represen-
tation for the reason that certain can
cerous growtbs have been removed from
the body polite, the same reason could
be urged for decreasing the representation
Of certain northern and western states
where the same common-sense procedures
have been enacted. But the republican
partv has ever been paradox, and the
role it would now play is in keeping WIN
iis mast history.

New York stock Market.

New York, Dec. 4, II q. m.-The stock
market this morning was disappointment to
those who had looked for some reaction after
the extensive dealings and sharp advances OF

were of the most ordinary character and after
every small concession the course Of prices
was toward higher level. The strength was
practically uniform. 1t was announced that
the market had been practically cleared Of

repetition of recent rumors with regard TO q
settlement of the Gould.Cassat controversy
and reports Of the probable carrying out Of

None of the members-elect of the
next legislature lose their seats through
failure to comply with the clause of the
Barksdale election law requiring the
filing of statements concerning their
campaign expenses The time expired
at midnight, and an examination of the
papers in Secretary Egglestol's Office
shows thatall of those elected complied
with the legal requirements. Many Of
the defeated candidates have entirely
ignored the law, which imposes a
fine of 81, 900 on them for failure to send
in their statements. This is largely due
to ignorance as to the requirement, and
it is not known what steps will be taken
in the matter of prosecution.

HOUSE.

AS stated in yesterdays Gazette the
House ordered 10 its engrossment the
Jordan Bill to break the Baylor survey,
and it will be passed today.
The only amendment to the bill which
was adopted was that providing for a
commission to carry out the provisions
of the bill for renting the depleted oyster
grounds. Those named in the amend
ment are f @. Jordan, w. d. Cardwell,
s. Wilkins Mathews, A. d. Watkins and
Julian Bryant. This is practically the
commission appointed by the legislature
to investigate and make the report.
The matter will be more closely fought
out in the Senate than it was in the
House.
An interesting report has been fOrmu-
lated by the Board of Fisheries that
may have a strong influence on the
future of the bill. 1t will show that
large part of the white tongers are plant
ers on a small scale and desire more
land; that a large proportion of the
tongers are delinquent in paying their
license taxes, and that the prejudice is
so strong in certain counties that magis-
trates and other officers cannot be count
ed on to enforce the law.

We wish to express our heart
felt gratitude to the good people
of Deming for their many acts
of kindness and sympathy ex-
tended to US during the terrible
ordeal through which we have
passed in the lines and death of
our beloved only son. He was
his fathers loving associate and
companion, his mothers pride
and hope; his sisters protector
guide and counselor: a true
brother, a loyal friends devoted
son. If each one Of the friends
he has made in his short life of
twenty eight years could have
contributed one little flower and
another for each kind act of his
to others, his grave would have
been filled to overlooking with
fragrant flowers. Many friends
and relatives came to see him
laid away under the cool shade
and green sod in Evergreen &C.
metery Los Angeles Calf. and
they literally covered his last lit
tie home with beautiful flowers
and mingled their tears of sor-
row with ours.
