COMPLETING ENDORSEMENTS.

The world still flohnders in an economic morass out of which no early emergence seems likely Cur rency and tariff dislocations add to the unsettle- ment and continue to rstard the flow of goods without which international activities must remain subnormal
 The most hopeful sign is plainly that the dis tress and maladjustment and critical problems are now in the open. Few are longer ignorant of the scope of the depression and the deflation and the consequent necessity of making readjustments throughout the economic structure
 Every week brings additional reductions in dvi- dends and wages, emphasizing the spread of the readjustment Buying power is, of course thereby reduced and prospects of revival dmmed It is hardly surprising that operations of the steal ano motor industries should be recedng slightly at a time when expansion should seasonally be oc- curing.
 But the reasonable limits of contraction mus be rapidly approaching, if they have not already been reached Once the governmental borrowing anc taxation policies are made known a basis upor which business be conducted without undue apprehension should exist and that alone should make for betterment.

POLITICS
 AT RANDOM
By BYRON BRYCE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

It would be easy enough to draw wrong conclusions from the strange political quiet which hoy cred over Congress during the whole month of January
 With Republicans, Democrats and Independents keeping steadily at their knitting, perfecting the recon struction corporation, bolstering the farm banks, shaving down appro- priations, a political reporter from Mars might think an era of peace and goodwill had arrived at last on Capitol Hill
 The fact is the Congressional leaders merely were postponine the inevitable while they attended to some necessary first aid This is a campaign year, and a political case must be made before the coun- try sooner or later
 A forecast of the future weeks of political strife appeared around groundhog day, when the unem- ployed relief issue came out of it's hole amid cross-fire of brick bats

Dry Issue Sticks Out

What to do bo ut prohibition probably will remain in open de- bate in both parties right up to the national conventions.
 The Democratic drys are drawing together to resist any platform declaration tending to weaken the existing statutes, and the anti-pre- hibitionists of the party seem to be verglng toward the common ground of referendum. It appears like ly the issue will be fought out on the convention floor.
 The Republicans are approaching the situation with caution. Some of their leaders believe that when the Republican convention meets on June IA it already will be fairly

NO WHIsKEY BUT IN BRITAIN?

In suit tried in Berlin court recently, six British dstlers contended that real whskey cannot be made anywhere outside of the British Isles and sought to have German firm restrained from calling its products "whiskey Because of it's special char acter, they declared that whiskey is dependent British climate and so the clearly belonged to Britain.
 We have information about the particular merits of the German product not having sampled it. British made whiskey has much to be said for it.. But we cannot go far to agree that 1t alone is entitled to be called 'whskeya For a great many years own American product was without peer: Kentucky became synonym for bourbon whiskey and Pennsylvania was more widely known as the home of Monongehela rye whiskey

Tariff stin In Politics

Generations of statesmen have prayed for the day when the tariff would be taken out of politics; yet knee-deap in politics it remains.
 When Congress met in December. the demand for a tariff on oil was making a noise like a legislative hurricane. It blew in on Washing ton from Republican Kansas and Democratic Oklahoma alike Well, a bill or two repose on the ealen- dar, and some one mentions the subject now and then, but that's about all. What happened?
 Would it do for the Democratic party. which has argued so long against Republican tariffs, to be- gin its legislative control by build ing a new tariff wall?
 Could the Republican party pass up the opportunity to stand aside and say to the Democrats: You ay this tariff game for Q while, and see how you like it?"
 Something may be done even- tually. out for the present, in both cases. the noes have it.

MORE NEWSPAPERS IN 1881.

Despite a decrease in all other types of publica- tons last year, the number of daily newspapers in the United States and Canada increased by 23 it is revealed by N. W. Aver and Sons 1892 directory of newspapers and periodicals. There are now 2415 daies in the United States and Canada, and 11524 weeklies The aggregate circulation of daily news papers is 44,448325 against 45106245 a years ago. All publications showed decrease of CAT to 1191 at the end of last year
 The popularity of the daily newspaper which brings the of the world as well that of the local field into the home regularly each day, accounts for it's enormous circulation And that in turn is bringing to it and more the national advertising which in former years wont to go to what termed national magazines.

would marry soft-eyed senOrita, and
the years of his life would unroll as
pleasant vista of happiness. So he
deluded himself, as so many of US do,
with the hallucination that the Joy of
living comes from outward circum.
stances rather than from within.
The method used by the rustlers of
Dunwig's park was simple one. They
stole only cattle running in the hills
within q days drive of their boiling
place. Most of their work was done at
night. No brands were altered till
they reached the safety of the pasture
ground at the end of the hidden can
yon. Here the rustled stock was kept
until a dark night made it compare
lively safe to rush them over Horse
Thief pass and down across the bor-
der.
To avert suspicion, Gitner and Jas
per bought a few mining tools and
some dynamite for blasting. Occa-
sionally they rode down to Mesa and
spent day or two there. Both at
Pedro's place and at the Gilt Edge
they heard stories Of the rustling that
was depicting the herds Of the cattle
men.
"The Cattlemen's association doing
anything about 1t or just shootin' off
it's MOUTH" Jasper asked when the
subject was mentioned at Basford's
emporium.
Simp Shell answered. II understand
they've put it in the hands of COM
mittee to investigate. Wills Mccain
is at the head of the committee, an
he's some go-getter. that boy is"
Simp's bland smile denied any specific
personal meaning to this. "An' yore
brother Phil is a member of it. too.
The talk is that they mean business. "
"Since when has Phil been kow-
TOWN. to wills McCann?" Jasper de-
manded angrily. IF my father had
been living Phil wouldn't be doing
business with the McCanns. That's a
cinch."
"You got the wrong angle to this
thing, Jas" the fat man told him
amiably. 1.-THE time for feuds in this
part of the country is past. I've not
heard that Phil an Wills have shook
hands, but If so they surely have done
right. They're both mighty nice boys,
an there's no reason in the world why
they shouldn't be friends.
Except that Wills Mccain killed
Father" Stark retorted harshly. "You
can claim that Father served notice he
was Amin to shoot Mccain. I'm not
denyin' that. But that don't make II
right for Phil to have any dealings
with the man who waylaid Father"
"No-if wills did," Simp said evenly.
.'Ive been hearin' Dave Stones story.
It's right interesting. By his way OF
it wills comes pretty near having an
alibi"
"Why not?" Jasper asked truculent-
ly. "Ain't 1t up to one killer to stand
by another? Didn't the McCanns save
him after he killed Tom McArdlei
You're certainly easy. Simp."
Jasper turned on his heel insolently
and staggered away.

clension that his reluctance to joining
the rustlers was due to no moral
scruples. Yet he had been brought
up In a country where the crime
ranked as a capital one. All the
teaching Of his youth reinforced this
view. A rustler was a sinking coyote
of the desert, to be shot down or
hanged If caught red-handed. He had
holly argued this more than once. Now
he had slid into that company of the
furtive-eyed who must ride crooked
trails and look upon all honest folk as
potential enemies.
"Well make a stake, settle our
scores with Wilson McCann an maybe
Dave Stone, too, then light out for
Sonora" Gitner predicted.
With few drinks under his belt It
was easy for Jasper to believe that
this would come true. He would get
away from this part Of the country
where he had been forced to get in so
bad and he would make a fresh start
in another land. He would have
enough to buy hacienda. maybe not

Colored Voters Awakening
Says Democratic Chairman

Mr.. Frank NJ. Lamborn, well known
publisher here, an old and esteemed
citizen for many years had the fol-
lowing to say the other day relative
to Colored Voters: 1T appears to me
that the colored voter is waking up
from their long sleep and subsection
to the Republican party. One evil
dence of this is the absence of the
old time Negro alleged political lead
err who always controlled the Col
ored Vote" according to his preten-
sions, and who was selling out for
miserable handout to any one foolish
enough to pay him small sum. They
harped long and loud on the dead
issues of the Civil War, and who
fought to free the slaves" and
pocketed the Republican small change
fer themselves. Now the colored
voter of today is self-controlled, and
he allows no man white or black to
sell him out to any class of pol
itieians.
Relative to the visits of Oscar De
Priest and 7. W. Myles to this sec
ton, Mr.. Lamborn thinks that the
G. o. P. has discovered that the
colored man is getting wise, and seek
to hold him by raising the race
question" The colored voter knows
he has to eat, wear clothing, have
shelter and that his economic inter-
ests of today are the very same as
those of any white man. And the
Negro voter is going to vote accord
ingly, knowing that he will make and
find new friends by breaking away
from the old time moss-backed talk
about Civil War issues. The average
colored man knows that the Repub-
lican party once stood for men, but
that now it stands for money only
