RIDING WITH THE RURALEs.

In Mexico pilfering, stealing, high
way robbery and the raiding of haci-
endas, to mention them in an ascend
ing scale, have been all of too-fre-
quent occurrence in the outlying
districts. This condition of disorder
resulted in the development of one
of the most efficient bodies of mount
ed police in the world, the Mexican
Rurales. They were first called into
existence in the time of Santa Ana,
when General Lagarde organized
troop of rancheros, for rural police
service. which were popularity known
as Gueraderos With the fall of
Santa Ana, a period when all Mexico
was upset and no honest man could
tell where his bread would come from
next, the Gueraderos took to the road
and became successful highwaymen,
upholding the best traditions .of the
gentlemen robbers Of the old world.
Like Mr.. Tom Faggus and his straw
berry mare Winnie, these bold road
agents took great pride in their fleet
horses and were such dandies in their
dress that they were commonly called
Plateados (silvered ones). President
Comonfort recognized the possibilities
of these men as force for law and
order, and, applying the adage "set
thief to catch a thief" it was in his
administration that the Platedos gain
came under government control. The
Rurales, the name given them in the
third and present stage Of the corps,
are the sole safeguard against the
bandits and border ruffians who in
fest the thinly-populated parts of
Mexico. Ranking with the Northwest
Mounted Police for ability to ride and
shoot, and rivahng the Russian Cos
sacks in picturesque detail Of uniform
and equipment, these soldier-cowboys
of the Southland challenge our ad-
miration at every turn. For good
fellowship in the barracks or rough
work on the road they are by far the
best of the Mexican forces.-Sidney

AUsTRIA's GREAT NAVY.

A weak king, I hear you say. Aus
tria has no navy. There, my friends
you are mistaken. Because Austria
has not been a sea-power in the past
is no sign that she Is not going to be
one in the future. You are not aware
that within two years Austria will
have available thirteen of the most
powerful battleships in the world ?
And do you appreciate that these thir-
teen battleships will be at the service
of Germany? And do you appreciate
what such an Austrian fleet can do
in the Mediterranean, with no force
to hold it in check? 1t would have
Malta, Cyprus and Egypt at its mercy
Austria would not find the slightest
difficulty in despatching an expert
tionary force to any of these points.
and once in control of Egypt and
dominating the Suez canal she could
dispatch her smaller ships to attack
commerce, proceeding by the Cape
route to India. Thus it is clear that
in case of war powerful British
fleet must be stationed in the Med
iterranean, unless the British people
are prepared to see their commerce
destroyed, their communications with
the east interrupted, their fortresses
in the Mediterranean one by one at
tackled and captured, and staggering
blows struck in every quarter against
their empire. With a navy which
will certainly be the most efficient in
the Mediterranean in the near future
Austria may reasonably entertain dar-
ing ambitions.-November Every

THE THIRD PARTY.

At the mass meeting week ago this
evening it was made evident that radi-
cal prohibitionists will not favor the
Third Party movement nor will the
old time saloonmen. During the past
week there has been criticism of the
movement by both these elements. To
the saloonmen the Third Party move
seems worse than prohibition. On the
other hand some prohibitionists pro-
fess to believe that the move has been
prompted by the liquor interests.
But the Third Party is not seeking
to satisfy either of these elements.
Those behind the move want to do
away with the "blind pig" system and
its attendant lawlessness; they want
to have the liquor business handled
health of the county will be fully pro-
tected; that the legitimate demand
for liquor may be met in a legitimate,
decent manner and the city given a
proper revenue from the business that
is transacted It is a move to bring
order out of chaos and to substitute
law for lawlessness.
The saloonmen are right in consid-
ering the Third Party "worse than
prohibition" The Third Party If 1t
has its way will put half the present
saloons of Pendleton out of business.
Around those who remain in the busi-
ness it will throw such rigid regula-
ticns that they will conduct their
places with much more decency than
is observed by the present blind
pigs" The Third Party move was not
instigated by the liquor interests. Far
from it,
But Of course the Third Party will
rot appeal to extreme prohibitionlsts
and especially to those of the pro
fessionaT' type. Such men are out to |
spread a propaganda, some Of them
for pay, and they refuse to be guided |
either by reason or by common sense. !
IL their zeal they often show as little |
regard for the truth as do saloonmen !
and when they get in the saddle they /
like to ride over the rights Of others
just as did the saloonment a few years
ago Some narrow minded, hypocrlt-
ical advocates Of prohibition are now |
trying to libel the Third Party in
hopes Of casting discredit upon that
movement But their efforts will fail
for the reason that arguments based
upon lies cannot stand.
The Third Party move was started
in an honest, patriotic effort to solve
IN a sensible, practical manner, the
problem that now vexes this city II
is seeking to take the fight out Of the
hands Of men who are prejudiced and
radical, some in favor Of saloons and
some against them, and to leave the
matter to people who are seeking only
to promote the best interests Of the
people of this city and county. Even
tually the Third Party is going to win
out. If not next year then at some
time in the future It will win be-
cause its policy is based on common
sense and truth.

MAYOR MURPHY.

There are many reasons why it
would be we'll for Mayor Murphy to
succeed himself He is probably more
familiar with the financial affairs of
the city than any other man in town.
He has gained this experience through
six years of service in the city council
and in the mayors chair His ex-
perience is worth something to the
city.
Mayor Murphy has been at the head
o: the city government during very
trying period. 1t is but natural that
he has had some critics. No man in
that position could have escaped critti-
cism. But Mayor Murphy is an honest
official and one who is anxious above
everything else to forward the interests
Of this city. Such a man is needed in
the mayors chair and while Mayor
Murphy is there the city will do well
.o keep him.

JUDGE SUTTON ADDRESSES
INSTITUTE OF BANKING
Jurist Talks. of Crime, Criminals and
Divorce, and Takes Pessimistic
Views Of Modern Life.

Judge A.. L. Sutton OF the district court
was the speaker at the meeting of the
Omaha chapter of the American Institute
of Banking, held last night at Chambers
academy.
Crime and Criminals and Divorce"
were the themes OF the address In the
course of which the Judge took rather a
pessimlstic view Of conditions among the
American people. He gave it as his opinion
that since the earliest history of the race
there has been a steady increase in crime
and this in spite of the fact that schools
and colleges and churches are multiplying.
He stated that In the United States only
one man. in ten who commits murder is
convicted, while in Germany and England
there are 9S per cent of convictions and in
Europe SO per cent. He thinks the remedy
lies partly in doing away with the prac-
tice Of e~xcusing the better class of citizens
from jury duty.
In regard to divorce he stated that during
some months the number of divorces
granted in Omaha equalled the number of
marriages and that in the state of Ne
braska there is one divorce TO every five
marriages., while In the United States
there is one divorce for every ten mar
riages.
This will ruin the nation, he believes,
unless some remedy is found and this must
come largely through the efforts Of the
churches.
Preceding the address of Judge Sutton
there was a program of music and men,
bers of Prof. Chambers dancing class
rendered some numbers which were greatly
enjoyed.
The quarrel scene from julius Caesar
rendered by Messrs. E. $. Thompson and
". F. wappich. was roundly appIauded.
e. F. Folda handled the question box. ]. G.

holders, largely Omahans, are ready to
erect a new mill OF fireproof construction

The Rex Stock Food company has occu-
pied a building at Sixteenth and Leaven-
