Ladt£s mantles are short. We
are sorry, because we believe in
charitv. ~—
Istbe long expected boom com-
ing for south-west New Mexico? It
looks so.
The player who gets out of a
"skin game" with a whole skin, is a
very lucky man.
Chihuahua is booming. The
wages of farm labor has rised with-
in six months from $7 to $25 per
month.
A new novel—Dorsey's expected
book. And when published, it will
be said that 'Ttime brings sweet
revenges."
It does not pay the United States
to employ men who practice at the
bar as custodians of the public
funds.
"Wasted moments" are plenti-
ful at the gambling table. Some
one found the truth of this a few
nights since to the tune of $700.
What a sjtamp-ede is being made
on the internal revenue officials.
It was a Raum go for the commis-
sioner to go when there was work
to do.
It is not believed that Senator
Anthony of Rhode Islands can re-
cover.^ The senate will lose its
most urbane member and the
handsomest man rrrthe body, when
he leaves.
Therk is [nothing the President
dislikes so much as having to fill
any of the leading positions in the
government. He'd rather leave a
Blaine man in than to be oblieed
to selcect ya Arthur on.* to fill the
vacant- v.
Tiitr-^El Paso Times speaks of
Crook's audacity. Never mind
Crook, Mr. Times. He knows what
he is doing, and the Apache who is
unfortunate enough to run up
against him, will also know wfiat
this renowned old Indian fighter is
about.—[New Mexican.
Our friend must have been hard
up for a pointer and has tried by
hook or by Crook to make one out
of us. We did not~ imply "that
Crook's audacity was to be depre-
cated or fearech Quite the con-
trary. We want to whisper a word
in your ear, Mr. "New Mexican,"
and that is this: That we prob-
ably know a little more and cer-
tainly quite as much about Crook
as an Indian fighter and also as to
his personal movements, as di»es
your own well-informed sheet.
-Sabe?
There are a lot of persons at Globe
City, near San Carlos agency, .who
haye an interest in maintaining a
continued warfare on the agent
-- there. At least they are always
doing it. How much reason is
there for their agitation outside the
~~fact that there is a vigorous desire
secure -from * that particular
neighborhood admission to the
mining prospects, ranch claims and
agricultural possibilities to be
found on that particular reseva-
tion? We only ask for infor-
tion, Seeing some funny things
set forth in a dispatch from Wash-
ington which alleges against agent
Wilcox, corrupt and immoral prac-
tices. One is that he has a sen-in-
law acting for him as post trader.
As there are United Si* tea troops
stationed at San Carlos, this may
possibly be true. If Wilcox does
not steal the Indian supplies to fur-
nish the "post jtrader" or military
^ sutler, and as the latter could not
sell th«*«®, if he had them, we can*
not see where the point lies in that
eluorge. Again, it is alleged that
u be bought a young "Yuma squaw
from her parents, paying $23 in
fisoiiey and a government wngon
-ifi&r-rher; tbat he took her to his
house and kept her for some time,
until a scandal was • caused by his
course; that he finally returned
her to h?r parents, but where he
continued to visit her for immoral
purposes." As there are no Yuma
Indians at San Carlos, or within
230 miles thereof, Mr. Wilcox's usu-
fruct on that investment would be
very small, indeed. If the other
charges rest on as slim a founda-
tion, they can ail be dismissed.
Denver Tribune says of Mr.
that a Here where bis hon-
morality were never ques-
tttse no one

It t'c.-'. the I:ish-At£ -rican
evolutionists
revolutionists of the same nation-
ality. In other words the Clan-na-
Gael, the really dangerous deter-
mined and powerful organization
that has practically superseeded
the "Irish Repubiic," the "Brother-
hood" and the "Fenians," have by
a little management got posessiori
of the new Irish-American nation-
al league, abolished the land
league, put their own man in as
president of the new organization
and otherwise manned its working
and executive machinery. Per-
haps this has been-designed from
the outset, because there is also an-
other result, and that is the utter
ignoring of such human vermin
and deadly nuisances as O'Dono-
van Rossa and his vulgar and hid-
eous brutalities and allies.
There is no doubt whatever, that
the Clan-na-Gael is both powerful
andjintelligent. So far a3 known,
it is a purely revolutionary organ-
ization, aiming first to unite Irish-
men everywhere; second, to be in
affiliation —with the revolutionary
programme, sympathizing and aid-
ing alike the struggle through con-
stitutional forms for a republican
government in England and Ire-
land, as well as the ma>re
forceful efforts of Russian
nihilism; third. to edu-
cate men to the tasks of leader-
ships in both military and civil af-
fairs ; and forth, to organize an in-
ternational police, against a similar
force now employed by the Euro-
pean goverment. As we under-
stand it, the Clan-na-gael is the at-
tempt of trained intelligence to or-
ganize scientifically for tbe radical
changes it seeks and believes will
be attained. It of course looks to
Ireland as its first duty ; but it
claims to be in full and through ac-
ord with the English democracy.
The clan declares that spies can-
not enter its inner penetrance. It
has six or seven degrees, and the
lo wer ones may he known by any
of a hundred di'>'«rent names. The
upper circles nro not known to each
other and members yield obedience
to a higher will than they are al-
ways conscious of apprehending.
Dynamite is not one of the clan's
weapons, at least not as now used
by the knavish fanatics -and clown-
ish knaves of the O'Donovan Ro-sa
ilk. Hvnes, the secretary of the
new league is known to be con-
nected with the Clan-na-gael; so is
Congressman-elect Finerty, of Chi-
cago. There is reason to believe
that Alexander Sullivan is very
near to, if not the head center of
the Gael organization. If these in-
timations are true, Parnell will be
come an agent; not remain a lead-
er.
Rock men ere scarce iii Central
have captured contractors are af Laredo
hunting good a|en for good wages
The highest point on the Texa3 j
exican railway is 894 feet, 122£
iles from Corpus Chrfsti. This is
the dividing ridge between the
Nueces and Rio Grande rivers. The
Rio Grande valley begins probably
at that point. The down grade
from there to Laredo averages
about twelve feet to the mile.
About 10,000 sheep will be ship-
ped in a fen davs from San Diego
over the Texas Mexican and Mexi-
can National railroads to Mexico.
They were purchased by General
Francisco Jsaranjo, secretary of
war.
Prospects are encouraging for
the Rio Grande and Pecos railway,
as they made a sale of a quarter of
million of bonds or their new issue
of half a million.*
Application has just been made
to the Mexican National by weal-
thy Mexican families in Monterey
ft r coaches in which to visit Cor-
pus Christi.
Improvements are noticeable at
many stations on tbe Texas Mexi-
can railway. Section houses and
depots are all well built and kept
in good shape.
The Corpus Christi and Nueces
Valley railway company contem-
plate a branch to San Antonio.
Whenever the people of the Alamo
city offer the proper support, the
branch will be chartered and put
through.
The traffic on the Mexican Na-
tional, both freight and passenger^
is increasing daily and it is fair to
expect a large and paying traffic
when the road is completed.
The Rio Grande and Pecos is not
at present pushing construction.
The road having been completed to
the coal mines ail energy is concen-
trated on their development. A
fine quality of coal is being mined.
Eight hundred tons are furnished
the Texas Mexican railway per
month, and arrangements are being
made to supply the Sunset road.
The Mexican National railway is
being pushed with all possible dis-
patch. Not less than 2000 men are
engaged in the work of grading be-
tween Monterey and Saltillo. The
construction company are shipping
ties, telegraph poles and other ma-
terial to the end of the road by ev-
ery train. Quite a number of ties
arc being obtained on the Trinity
river and brought over the Interna-
tional road as well as through Cor-
pus Christi. Nearly enough mate-
rial is now on the road to finish it
to Saltillo. The latter place will
be reached without doubt in July
next. The grading for. the entire
distance is nearly completed, and
when it is, active track laying will
begin. On the southern division
the road is in operation as far a
Acambaro, 146 miles from the City
of Mexico. By the time the north-
ern division reaches Saltillo, next
July, the southern division will
have been built to Celaya, 46 miles
north of Acambaro, leaving a gap
to span of 383 miles to give a
through line to the capital of our
sister republic. The total distance
from Laredo to the City of Mexico
is 801 miles. The highest point on
the road is Salazar, 10,020 feet
above sea level, Laredo being 438
feet.
The New Mexican truly says that
"the safety of silver as one of the
immutable standards of value, will
insure the future of New Mexico,"
and we may add emphatically, of
the entire west. The double stand-
ard and the constant if small ex-
pansion of silver coinage, is daily
demonstrating the value of the
policy pursued. It must always be
borne in mind that bi-metallism is
the ism ofjthe enterprising or grow-
ing community, and that mono-
metallism is that of the creditor
class or the broker and exploiter.
In the United States we have an
additional security in the saving
presence Of the greenback.
n?w mexico mining notes,
John McCaila will commence this
week work on he Homestake and Con-
tention mines. Both claims show gray
copper and sulphurets, running from
thirty to sixty ounces in silver; #5,000
will be expended In developing these
claims.
The old Stephenson mine, in the Or-
gan mountains, which was jumped a
week ago by Sam Ashenfeltsr, of Silver
City, was to-day taken possession of by a
party representing the original patentees.
General Macy, of New York, president
of the company, has telegraphed that he

mence work, and until 'My'"1" it shall
be guarded in the interest of the
original owners.
The new lead found in the Mountain
Chief mine has drawn a large number
of prospectors to the Organs.
A two foot body of chlorides running
$2,000 nas been struck in the mine at
teoeorro owned by R. M. Tweed, of the
Grand Central hotel.
Some time since Mr, Hoopes, one of
the proprietors of the Jay Gould mine
in tbe Oigan mountains, received % let-
ter from Mr. Uubbs, of Albuquerque
smelter, stating that he was ready to
receive his ore, and that be had made
arrangements with, tbe Santa Fe com-
pany Tor the shipment of ore at $4.43
per too. On this reooqj mendattoa Mr.
Hoopes shipped a car load of or® to
Hubbs' smelter and received a bill from,
the railroad for #7.40 per ton. There
was a lane quantity of ore in this city
ready to ship to the smelter, but 'when
they saw the Mil, whitfh they teat to Mr,
Hoopes they decided not to send in their
ore. There is some ®,000 tot* afore on
tbe dump at present and might go to
Aiboqoacnae but for the —*
rates charged by the
Albuquerque Review.
Arizona Mines.
The Total Wreck has announced its
flrjt dividend of 20 cents per share, pay-
able In New York on the 16th. inst.
One-half interest in a mine at Calico
District, has been sold to S. A. Whit-
more, formerly one of the publishers of
the Tucson Citizen, for 91,0 0.
The working shaft of the famous Sil-
ver King mine, of Pinal county, is down
750 feet, and the ore taken from the
stopes is of tbe usnal good quality.
A number of prominent capitalists of
Tombstone have organised a ditch and
Irrigation company,. and will apply to
the city council at tbe next meeting 'for
a franchise to run water through the
streets of the city. The water supply
Will come from the Grand Central mine.
