LET HARMONY BE CULTIVATED.

mas has seen fit to criticise the attitude of the American govern ment in the complications now aalicting Mexico and to assail all Americans. This exception is taken not so much at the criticism levelod by Fl Imparcial at the adminis- tration at Washington as to the em- bracing of the occasion by that newspaper to heap upon all Ameri. cans abuse, reviling and epithets S0ch a course is uncalled for en. tirely, and in no way tends to promote that harmonious feeling between the people of the two nations, which feeling is necessary at all times, and particularly ne- cessary at the present critical juncture
 The relations between the two governments are very harmonious, not only where are concerned the communications between the cen- tral authorities of each, but wher- ever subordinate and local author i.i9s come in contact along the border. No better illustration of this fact need be given than the conduct of the neutrality cases heard at Nogales this week. Upon complaint lodged in the local American federal court by the con- sul of Mexico three United States civil officers escorted by a detach- ment of soldiers under command of commissioned officer, went fifty miles to arrest and bring into NOgales number of men alleged to have engaged in an insurrec- tionary expedition into Mexico They were charged with a direct violation of the neutrality law of the United States. The United States attorney came all the way from Bisbee to prosecute. Had the proof upon examination been what was promised the accused would have been held, tried, con- yicted and punished But the difficulty was that on the witness stand, in open court, the witnsses could not be induced to give the same accounts of what they had seen and heard that they had given the Mexican officials and the United States attorney before going into court. Every opportunity was given the prosecution to prove its case; vet 1t was unable to do so. Nor Is this an isolated case. Wher- ever along the border there is de- tected a violation of the American neutrality law and those charged herewith are apprehended, United States officials may be depended upon to exert every effort to en. force the law.
 That there is in the United otates considerable sysmpathy with the insurrectionary movement in Mexlco is a conceded fact. Yet

desirable Young Woman"

young Ladies' Evening was OBJ
served at the Central Presbyterian
Church last night. That mere man
should have no part in the arrange
ments the committee consisted Of
young women and the ushers also were
recruited from the feminine portion OF
the flock. Nevertheless the diversion
was a most magnetic drawing card and
the young men retaliated by coming
out in force and gracefully allowed the
pretty ushers to lead them to a pew.
The pastor. the Rev. Dr.. George W.
King, through his Rection OF the subject
of THE Desirable Young Woman"
enabled the young men 10 get a good
idea OF what constituted the best quail
tiles in the other sex.
DR.. King treated the theme from the
OF righteous living. and
dwelt upon the need OF the young peo-
pie TO cultivate those habits or inclin-
that reflected the most whole
and enriching spiritual character
istics. He cautioned them to be true
to themselves. ennobiing to their sex
and right with their God.

INSURGENTS TO
CONSULT BEFORE
CHANGING VOTES
Littleton's Entry Into New York
Senatorial Situation Inter-
ests Legislators.

ALBANY, Feb. 20.vThe announce
ment by Martin w. Littleton of his
candidacy for the New York toga ex-
cited the members of the Legislature
before the Joint ballot for United
States senator today more than any
thing which has happened since tho
deadlock became a settled fact be-
cause 1t has been known for weeks
that the main body OF insurgents would
vote for him any moment that they
thought that Charles r. Murphy would
accept him in place of William F.
Sheehan.
However. before the joint session to-
day 1t was impossible to poll the In
surgents to learn how many would
swing to the new congressman. Most
of them did not arrive till the presld-
ing officer was about to call the ses-
sion to order, for they, like the regu-
lars, had gone home over the week.
end.
VIII Wait to Consult.
A good many of them had not even
heard OF the statement of Mr.. Little
ton, and they would not express opin-
ions on 1t until they had time to con-
suit with their fellows. Several of them
said that they would continue to vote
as they had voted till they could meet
to consider the new situation. So a
large number of changes In the ballot
of the day were not anticipated,
Mr. Littleton's letter to Lieutenant
Governor Conway begins by saying that
before the Legislature assembled he
was urged to make the race for United
States senator, but he expected the
choice to fall on Shepard or Sheehan
and declined. Since 1t does not seem
likely that either Shepard or Sheehan
will be chosen. he has decided to enter
the contest himself.
Outlines His Platform.
He thinks corporations and railroads
be wisely regulated. He believes
that the United States senator's should
be elected by direct vote of the people.
He advocates a permanent, well-equip-
ped tariff commission. He wants i'm
mediate action in removing the duties
on the necessaries of life, without walt
ing for any commission to act. He ex-
presses approval of the reciprocity
treaty just concluded, and says the de-
mands of business require a parcals post
system. He advocates currency reform.
