The parkings around these buildings
have also made the sight from the car

THE EDITORS MISTAKES.

The newspapers have frequently

nese system Of dealing with bankers
who go broke. a very simple scheme,
consisting merely OF cutting off the
heads Of the bankers.

Chinese law relative to errors in news
papers. The punishment for this Of

told, until quite recently was instant

We are inclined to think that this
law IS a trifie severe. so much SO in
fact that we don't hesitate to declare
our hearty disapproyal Of It, II ID
we're rieldly enforced in our own fair
land we can see no other result than
the speedy extinction Of the entire
tribe OF editors. It Is evident that the
present race would be swept off the

might admit they are continuing pre-

A belief was expressed however.
that necessity for intervention Is be-

deny they have received any Ameri

here would be surprised at hearing
that certain preliminary concessions
were granted insurrectos and peace

On the other hand, members of

Wha tever the administration at
Washington decides to do II will
find the forces here prepared for

admitted that everything is planned
for an invasion of Mexico, in the
event the war department orders the
move. Major General Carter has or
dered the First brigade, command

Smith to Leon Springs, Texas for
maneuvers and to teach the rockies
how to shoot.
Smith asked for a regiment of
cavalry, which was refused because
the commanding general does not
wish to break up the cavalry divi-
sion. This is in line with a known
policy to use the cavalry as the
first invading force across the Rio
Grande while the infantry is enter
