A merry Christmas to every one. The official record of the entire 27 months of the Gorman tariff shows a deficiency of $122,653,382. A Dubuque telegram says that Sen ator Allison has been offered the leading- position in the cabinet of Major McKinley, that of secretsry of state. It is said the profer was made by Major McKinley, through one of the most prominent men in the state of Iowa.and that Senator Allison now has the matter under consideration. While Senator Allison would make an admirable sec retary of state, the administration will need him in the senate, as much as it will need Senator Sherman. The movement in Louisville to estab lish a rival newspaper to crush the Courier-Journal, says the Dallas News, is progressing fairly. In less than one month the sum of $5000 ha9 been rais ed, and the projectors have every reason to hope that the remaining $495,000 necessary to make a start will be forthcoming within the next three or four centuries. El, Paso has the only kindergarten in the state, maintained as a part of the public school system, and it has given the city a fine reputation among educators for her aenterprise. Other cities of the state maintain private kindergartens, and the Fort Worth ladie9 maintain a kindergarten as Dublic mission. Sooner or later the kindergarten methodu will be used in all public education .

In connection with our "Napoleon' xvicK-iniey a well-known efforts to es tablish the beet sugar industry in the United States, the following is of in terest. It may not be generally known that Prince Napoleon was the author of a work on sugar beet. In it he makes the sugar beet industry say: "Respect me, for I enrich the soil; I fertilize th land, which without me will become uncultivated; I employ the hands, which without me would remain idle; finally, I solve one of the greatest problems of modern society I or ganize and improve labor." American Economist. A TEST CASE. Should the city fathers meet tonight, a number of citizens have said they intended to be present to evidence their interest in the tax matter. So far as they can, they desire to strength en the hearts of the city legislators, and let them know that the people are with them in their efforts to protect the municipal income, and establish their own authority. As to what method the council should pursue, there is one method frequently discussed, that appears to be wise. Of course in forcing collections, it should be done at the least expense. Some have objected to the employment of special counsel, because of the large percentage involved, claiming that 10 to 20 per cent of the delinquent taxes would make a fee of $5,000 to $10,0C0. Others argue that a contract with special counsel to collect all the back taxes would form a precedent that might operate seriously egainst the city's interest hereafter. But almost unanimously the opinion holds, that it would be well to make a test use of that delinquency, or delin quencies, which will involve all the issues, which case or cases should be pressed for trial, and if possible car ried to the supreme court to get all legal questions definitely determined. The trial of the balance of the delin quencies would lollow as a matter of course. A lawyer would prefer havintr to try only one or two cases, instead of bothering hitnsHf over the details that would necessarily arise in all, and the responsibility attached to a contract, in which he should be pledged to complete the collection of the long list of email offenders. A doubt has pervaded the minds of the people as to the necessity for taxes to be paid, and during these hard times, they have not tried as bard as they could to make their payments. As soon as the courts decide that the tax l"vy is a lin on property, and that taxes must surely be paid, there will be no determined effort of the people for tk-lsy . The city attorney will then, with the prestige of the contested points decided in his f ivor, havo less embar assment in his suits, lie can undoubt edly nUine try these contested caces, and brin them to a successful finish for the law is clearly with the city; b'.it haviniif acquie-eed in the wish of the council to give him assistance, and the matter beintf of su h gravity, the proposition presented is a reasonable one. With a clear legal victory for the city on a well contested case, the taxes would largely be voluntarily paid, and much of the routine work of redemption would be done by the city assessor and collector, and this in turn, would re lieve the strain upon the city attorney's duties. M I.MX(i IXTE L LIGEXCE. Notes of Encouragement From Many Sections of the Mine Comiiry. Capitalists will soon begin work, de veloping the rich deposits of petroleum in Jaboso. Valuable coal deposits have been discovered in the town of Jiquilpam de Juarez, state of Michoacan. A rail road thither has been protected from Zamora as a result of the iind. The new mill of the National Mexi can Mining and Development company, at El Plomo, in the Altor District, So., began operations last month. It has a capacity of 30 tons of ore. In the Mitras Mountains, two leagues wpst of Monterey, have been discov ered several new veins that have as- sava cry rich; and a company is now being- formed for their development. A $230,000 mining sale was recently consummated in a district not far from San Antonio, N. M., and several other mining- deals of equal magnitude are being figured on by capitalists who mean business. It is said that Gen. Aureliano Rivera. of the Mexican army, has discovered aluminum clay in the reniihlic of Mexico. It is now beicg assayed. If the assay turns out well, the aluminum will be made into cartridges for the Mexican army. Reports from the different mines in the State of Guanajuato indicate that they are being worked to good results and that many new veins are being developed. Much new machinery is being taken to that section and the future of mining in that state looks very brilliant. The Flor de Maria mine, in the Sierra de Moctezuraa, district Bravos, 'Jhihuahua, is being worked with good success. Its ores run from 40 or 50 ounces per ton, with 20 or 30 per cent of lead. It is situated very favorably for transporting its products, being 20 or 30 miles east of Moctezuma station on the Central road. The miners of the northern part of Chihuahua are much elated over the ouilding of the Rio Grande, Sierra .Mad re and Pacific railroad which is now pushing west from Juart-z. The bief engineer claims that the road will rach Corral I tos by June next This road will aid in developirg the rich mineral reaion of northern Mexico ind will no doubt b - a ve-y profitable railroad from the t:ice of its comple tion to Corralitos. Much tood in Mexico of importance '.o the whol woria is thi.-, spread of the Mexicau railroad systems to the westward, says the Globe-Democrat I;, means the opening of a vast mining ieion rich, in gold. CapKal is 1 preceding the railroads into this field, and more fore gn money is being invested than ever before in Mexico's nistory. A great deal of information bout Mexican mines passes through the Luited States consu ate at the Citv of Mexico. This rapid growth of interest in gold properties has attracted the attention of the consular officers. The vice consul general, Mr. Crittenden, saia a lew nays ago: inere is as mucn goia nere as in South Africa. It hasn't been mined because Mexico is full of silver which can be gotten out by the simple patio process. All that kind of treatment calls for is some Portland cement, running water, a few horses and a lit tle quicksilver. To get out gold takes money. It requires more than money. It means an expensive plant, scientific experts and skilled labor. The fact that silver was so much easier to get prompted the people of Mexico to con tine their mining in that direction, to the neglect of the gold possibilities. Capital is just bf ginning to g ve atten tion to the gold belt. When this comparatively new field receives the investigation it merits the results will astonish the world. Cecil Rhodes, the one man power in South Africa, has had the title of ,-the bull that separates the fighting bulls" conferred upon him by the natives, wbile his chief lieutenant and hdus achates. John Colenbrander, has been dubbed "the thick bird" which in Africa, always accompanies cattle and materially assist them in getting rid of the troublesome insects. The chief of the Berlin police has invited his colleagues in the various cities and towns of the German empire to take part in meeting for the purpose of discussing the disability of adopting tne uertnion system of identifying criminals by antropometry. The registration of business in Ger many has had the effect of show ing how large is the number of women engaged in trade. In Chemnitz alone (iOuO retail business and workshops are the property of women. The idea of freezing destroyed the germs in water has leg since been ex ploded. Chicago has now an ordinance forbidding the cutting of ice within three miles of any town or city of 20,000 inhabitants. The leading playwrights of Spain have agreed to give each the receipts of one performance of his most popular work for the benefit of invalid soldiers returning from Cnb.i. The city conned of Monu rey isabo-Jt to import a steam roller of fifteen tont burden for the purp s-i of levelling the streets which wi;l not bo paved with vitrified brick ; An international conurrw is to take place at Brus-s-ls next eumrut r for the purpose of discussing tbe subj-.ct of accidents to wor&iujiiaeu. The Destlly Cigarette. Mrs. Henrietta W. Smith of Louisi ana, now in Waco says to a News reporter: "Since entering Texas I have been discussing the cigarette evil with the reform societies, and I find a sentiment growing in favor of a bill prohibiting the sale of cigarettes entirely. It is a vice which captivates the children more than the adults. I have seen a boy 5 years old a confirmed cigarette fiend. Boys of 10 whose nerves are ruined past repair by smoking cigar ettes are getting to be numerous. I was recently at a coaference in New Orleans in suppression of the cigare'.to vice among children, and was startled by remarks of a physician. Ilestat d that a form of lunacy called pyromania was one consequence of early use of tobacco in the form of cigarettes The boys, he said, keep up a constant pulling, and of course, they must have matches to light their cigarettes. The nicotine enters their tender brains, j and they change from the fresh in-; nocence of childhood into besottt n pigmies, ripe for crime. To indulge their propensity they resort to out buildings. The next thiDg is arson. Imagine a group of boys, depraved by tobacco, provided with matches and eager for excitement. I feel sure that many of the frequent barn burnings are caused by incendiaries, made such by smoking cigarettes. I hope the Texas people will see that a suitable bill is enacted which will put a stop to the sale of cigarettes to chi:dren. Un der the present condition of things they are paid premiums of pictures and buttons to induce them to turn cigarette smokers." A Wild Man. The report published in the San An tonio Express of the discovery of a wild man in the vicinity of Eagle Pass created something of a stir among the newspaper correspondents here as they regarded it as a scoop for which neither of them could take credit. One cor respondent at once began a search and was on the eve of denouncing the story as a canard when there appeared on the streets a specimen which would lend some color to the tale. This specimen is a man and from appear ances belongs to the Caucasian race, presuming that his present color is not natural. He has a cadaverous glare that would at once attract attention, and in the absence of a better term one would naturally call him a wild man: though be is not wild in the seme of being afraid of others. He may have been called wild for the reason that he has not approached an acquaintance with any one so far as this correspond ent has learned. He does not seem to shun any one while on the streets, though he seems to have very success fully eluded the bath tub, and is a little shy on clothing. Who he is or where he came from no one knows. His bent form and hungry look gives him the appearance of one who had wintered in a cave and had been forced out in the early spring by hunger, but his habits are the reverse, for he is never seen except about this time, when the first breath of winter drives him to town. Nor does he remain long in town. He was here last year and the year before, though no one remembers having seen him during the intervals. Eagle Pass Guide. He Fears not Sassief y. A New Nork police captain with a corps of detectives at his heels invaded the ultra-fashionable Sherry's at 1 a. m., th" other day and made an extra ordinary scene. They forced an entrance to the small ballroom, the scene of so many entertainments of "the four hundred." A dinner was in progress. Around th board were seated fifty of New York's leading citizens. The police had information that law and decency were to be violat ed, and they appeared to make a protest, to threaten, and, if necessary, to march every man present to the station house. The action on the part of the police is unprecedented. Sher ry's is sacred as a resort for the young er members of New York's most ex clusive society. There all winter long the principal . social events of the younger 1-jO are given, and there, too, the as embly ball, one of the greatest fuuctiono of the year, takes place. There is much mystery concerning the affair. Captain Chapman of the West Thirtieth street precinct, who made the raid, says he will talkat the proper time, rut not now. A naked woman was to pose ard dance for these young sassiety sprigs. With the aporoval of congress, 1000 soldiers will be equipped with bicycle outfits before the close of the year. A bill has been prepared for presentation to congress authorizing th nurr-hfls of a sufficient number of bicycle-i to proviae eacn iort anu military station: , ., - with ten machines. The soldiers who Order of the Driver ol the Leiiv show the best skill in the use of the ery Wag-on, Smith's Creamery, wheel will be drilled upon the machines n. , , . .,r-.r and assigned to duties requiring rapid Telephone 156 or by mail, P. 0. Box truusportation. ai many oi tne posts oicycies are now in use, but trjey are either owned by the officers or hired from agents. Gen. Wiles is an en thusiast on the subject. He has signified his willingness to allow a troop of the United States cavalry to attend the bicycle carnival to be held in Madison Square Garden, in New York, from January 11 to 16, and how what they can do in the way of a drill. Vessels now in commission on the great lakes are fast outnumbering the American craft engaged in the foreign trade. This is proved by statistics compiled by the Marine lieview, at Cleveland. The vessels on the lakes are shown to number 383 as against 257 on the Atlantic and gulf coasts, and Jo on the Pacific coast. The tonnage of the lake vessels is about 200,000 in excess of that of the salt water boats. There are not three caes in a hun dred of woman's peculiar diseases that Dr fierce s favorite Prescription .will not cure.

The ob ject of the association is to encourage tree planting in the residential portions of the city. A sample of sugar cane from Yuma recently sent to San Franc isco, yielded 13.7 per cent sugar. Louisiana cane yields 12. .'12 per cent; Hawaiian cane, 15.70 per cent; Java cane, 13.93 per cent. General Boulanger is the hero of a new play called "A la Vie, a la Mort," soon to be brought out in Paris. The private life and not the political career of the general forms the basis of the plot.
