The Republican party has it in its
power to admit New Mexico to the
Union or to keep it out. The Repub-
licans have a good majority in both
branches of congress, and the Presi-
dent is committed to statehood. The
action of congress at this session on
the admission of New Mexico will
demonstrate beyond any doubt as to
whether the Republican party is sin
cere in desiring the admission of
this Territory to the Union. The DEM
ocratic party has favored the admis-
sion of New Mexico for years, and ia
vors the admission of New Mexico
as a single state now. What are the
Republicans, who have the President,
both branches of congress and the
delegate from this Territory. going
to do about statehood?-Santa Fe

THE SPECTRE OF FINANCE.

Denver Field and Farm.
Readers of a daily paper h live
on a farm in the West can afford to
view with considerable complacency
the turmoil that has beer going on in
Wall street for the past fortnight, for
they are wise enough to keep out of
such things and are not caught in the
trap k the miserable creatures VINO
play the game. Stock gambling has
caused more disaster, ruined more
men and wrecked more families than
the Civil War, a1d it is strange that
a benevolent government will allow
such things to go on indefinitely. L
has destroyed the future of many 9th
erwise promising young and middle
aged men.
It's mock commercial aspect throws
over it a veil of responsibility which
seduces many who could not be a1lur-
ed by faro or poker. At the same
time it implants and c~ultivates the
gambling passion to quite as great
extent as is found in the crap shoot
ing devotee who will put up even the

clothes he wears to satisfy his pas
sion for the game. The fact is motor
ious that wien the gambling passion
is once acquired, no money and no
trust, however sacred, is safe il the
hands of a gambler, like Heinze who
mas created the most of the present
rumpus, although some malcontents
pretend to lay the trouble at the door
of Mr.. Roosevelt.
The average stock Spectator does
not mean to steal, perhaps, but the
hopeful view of the probabilities of
winning easy money leads him to ap-
propriate for the time any funds with
in his control, and as a rule h is
never able to replace it. The ban lies
against the banks of Wall street as
mucn as it rests upon the individual,
and this is why the Knic&erbocker
Trust Company was forced to the wall.
The gambling features of the stock
exchange n boards of trade of the
various cities should be suppressed
as sternly as n other form of gam
bling. Many states are passing laws
for the suppression of pool selling at
races, and they are right. Yet pool
selling is comparatively harmless by
the side of stock gambling. The lamb
goes to the aces, on a lark perhaps,
buys pools, loses money that he can
lily spare and takes his punishment
in the form of h ~self-denial he must
undergo for the want of it. He learns
a lesson, perhaps, and it does him
good. Not so with stock gambling.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM

Barney Sheridan, of Paola, Kansas,
who acted as receiver of two banks
during the panic of '93, last week said
in his paper, the Western Spirit:
while the country went through a
hard financial test in the last ten
days, there never was a time in the
history of the United States when the
banks Of the country were in better
condition than they are today. The
people are well-to-do; crops are plen'
tifu1 and prices fair. The threatened
panic came by speculation, 10 only

duction, which gives an abundant mo-
ney supply and maintains prices so
that business is brisk"
Then you do not think the present
bank trouble shows the need of an
emergency or asset currency?"
"Not by any menas. On the other
hand, | think it is a strong argument
against an asset currency. Suppose
for instance, we had been using asset
during the past year, and in
to the present trouble h
people had distrust about the money.
That would make matters so much
the worse. As it is now, there is no
doubt about the quality of our money"

Oil Mill Company Organizes.

Pursuant to a call Of the subscrib-
ers, meeting was held at the Bank
of Broussard to organize and adopt a
charter for the Brcussard Cotton Oil
Mill Company, Ltd. The subscribed
capital is $4,000. This is only an
other progressive step Of Broussard.
In fact, the growth of Broussard since
Dec. 26, 1905, has been nothing short
of marvellous. From a dull and quiet
place to that date it has grown SO
since that time-the date Of its lncor-
poration-that it has added several
residences costing about $500, a
bank with an earned surplus Of over
IA per cent within the year; a school
of three teachers in 1906, now has
grown to Z normal graduates who are
teaching $50 children.

Foretells Own Death.

J. W. Saxon Of Waynesboro, died
suddenly. He leaves wife and three
daughters and several grandchildren.
The strangest thing about his death
IS the fact that lie some time ago
sent for his daughters to come home,
claiming that he was going to die in
March. Mrs. c. HI. Taylor, who lived
in Oakland, CAL; Mrs. Collins Of Lit
tie Rock, Ark, and Mrs. r. L. Nc
Gahee, of Meridian, all came home,
and as he was in his usual health APP
parently they attached no Importance
to his belief that he was going to die,
and they were all in Mobile, Ala, on
a short visit. He had congestive
chill, but was apparently getting along
all right, and his physician left him
to attend to other patients, when he
was found to be in a dying condition
and died in a few minutes. He was
at one time County Treasurer Of
Wayne county.

Shot and Mortally Wounded.

John Banster, switchman employ
ed by the Yazoo and Mississippi Val

wounded by a negro at Vicksburg.
The shooting was unprovoked, and the
police and Sheriff, with his deputies,
have been searching for the murder
er. According to John Weir, foreman
of the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley
Yards, the negro was walking down
the track and met Weir, who asked
him where he was going. The negro
replied that he was trying to catch
a train. The negro walked down to
the switch shanty, where Banster
came to the door, flashing his lantern
in the negro's face. The negro drew
a revolver and fired, the bullet pass
ing through Banster's body just be-
low the heart.

CONGRESSMAN
FAYROT FREED
JUDGE BRUNoT QUAsHEs IN
DICTMENT FOR MURDER.
GRAND JURY IS ILLEGAL
Decision Will Necessitate New Jury
Being Selected State Appeals to
Supreme Court-One Juror Could
not Read and Write.

Baton Rouge-The indictment Of
Congressman George K. Favrot for
the murder of DR.. r. III. Aldrich last
November was tonight quashed by
Judge Brunot, after long legal bat
tie, participated III by the attorney
general and District Attorney Wax,
representing the state, and I. j. Ker-
nan, L. R. Beale and Edward E.
Wall; the two former representing
Favrot, and Mr.. Wall representing
Capt. McClendon, also indicted for
murder.
Quashing this Indictment necessi-
tates drawing another grand jury and
nullifies all the indictments brought in
since the machinery Of the court was
started again February 5. The new
grand jury will probably take up the
Favrot case first, but now that both
the state and the defense are so well
organized for the fight, it is profile
matical whether a new indictment
will be brought against the congress
man.
The grounds upon which the indict-
ment was quashed were purely techni-
cal, one being that the court had or
dered that body to meet November 13,
and it did not meet then, and the 9th
er that one Of the grand jurors could
neither read nor write. The appear
ance of the attorney general in the
case followed written instructions IS
sued to him by the governor and
which instructions he filed as part of
the record in the case. Judge Guion
was not disposed to enter the case,
mainly on account Of the condition
of his health, but when the governor
insisted after fearful appeal from
the widow of the dead man, Judge
Quion insisted upon written instruc-
tions.
When the case was called in court
for argument the lawyers got togeth-
er land decided to argue the McClen-
don and Favrot cases together. AT
ter considerable documentary evi-
dence had been submitted, the first
contention arose over the admission
Of evidence from Grand Juror j. A.
Shaffet, as to his ability to read and
write. The attorney general contend
ed thta he could not be put on the
stand to impeach his own standing as
a grand juror, and was sutained by
the court, but the point was proved
by other witnesses
Attorney General Guion and Dis
trict Attorney Wax gave notice that
an appeal will be taken to the state
supreme court.

70 Atlanta Prison.

Judge Niles pronounced sentence
upon Jesse A. Hickman, of Durant,
an ex-United States mail clerk, to one
year and day Imprisonment in the
penitentiary at Atlanta for the crime
of tampering with the mails. Hick-
man was indicted by the Grand Jury
here last May, was arraigned, and,
acting on the advice Of his attorney,
pleaded guilty to the charge, as the
evidence against him was very clear.
Sentence was pronounced upon him
at the time, but execution was with
held pending presentation Of an APP
plication for pardon to the President.
The Chief Magistrate refused to in
tervene in the matter, and there was
nothing for the Court to do but re-
mand the prisoner, and accordingly
Hickman was formally committed to
the custody of the United States Mar
shall, who left with him tonight for
Atlanta.

tilted that Major Penrose said h. had
made no personal inspection of the
men, arms or ammunition and that
two commissioned officers said they
had made none, when the committee
called on Penrose the morning follow

Mr.. Penrose further testified that
ill-feeling against the soldiers did not
exist on their arrival. He said he
frequently heard them make obscene
remarks concerning ladies and heard
them indulge in vile and profane Ian
guage on the streets.

States Commissioner Creager was

Of exchange for the latter sum from
an Oakland bank, sailed across the
Pacific and cashed the draft in Hong
Kong. The police theory is that the
Chinese worked with a confederate
in the person of man named Woods.
The job began in the State Of Ken
lucky, where Woods bought a draft
for So on the Hanover National Bank
Of New York. The draft was trans
ferred to Woo Ang, from all appear
ances. Whether Woods or the Chi
nese did the raising act is not known.
But Woo cashed his bill Of exchange
in Hong Kong before the fraud was
discovered, and beyond the fact that
he is in China, the detectives have no

based their conjectures upon the ac-

passed here fully three days before
it was expected. All the predictions
have gone awry and for this, there
is great rejoicing. It means. an en-

states the practicability of the le-
eve system, and is proof that the riv-
