Land to GOLD DEMOCRAT'S PLAN Washington, p. C, December 10 The annual report of Hon. Judson Harmon, attorney general of tbeUuited States, was sent to congress, to-day Concerning the an ti-trust law. be says the restricted seope of its provisions, as oonstrned by the oourts, makes amend' menu necessary, if any effective action is ezpnoted besides, tbe fund at the disposal of tbe attorney general, wbicb can be applied to investigation, prepa ration ana prosecution of oases is whol ly inadeqaata. Tbe report of Hon. George Hoadley, peoial counsel for the Uolted States, Is affixed to tbe above report, and shows tbat there is do substantial change in litigation oonoerning the Union Paoiflj railroad. Tbe attorney general says I have grave doubts as to the ability of the government to preserve Its pres ent situation much longer. As the only object In steadfastly keeping tbe government out of the cases, thus far, has been to secure some favorable sola tion of the difficult problem presented by its ownership of the subordinate security upon the property, which is insufficient to pay any but the first mortgage lieDS. I think tbat unless tbe pending, funding bill, is passed tbe government should endeavor to secure terms for its appearance in court la the way of an assurance of uob bid on tbe property in the case of judioial sale, to secure to it, a fair realization of the value of its lien A new crimes act was one of the things the attorney general thinks is needed. Washington, D.C., December 10 It was agreed tbat tbe senate be ad Journed to-day until Monday. A reso lution was adopted for the appointment of three senators to make the neoessary arrangements for the inauguration of the president-elect, on the 4 th of March nest. Senator Allen addressed tbe senate on Cuban independence. He prefaced bis speech with tbe Introduo tion of a joint resolution deolaring tbat "the extinction of Spanish title and the termination of Spanish control in tbe islands at the gateway of the Gulf of Mexico are necessary to the welfare of these islands and of tbe people of the United States." Mr. Cullom, after a brief reference to tbe President's message.said :"Cuba is lost to Spain. The public proclama tion of Spanish defeat may cot have been officially and definitely an nounced, but in truth and fact, the submission of Cuba will never again be yielded as of old. Geographically, Cuba is in American waters, and politi cally is entitled to statehood in the continent of American republics." At the conclusion of Mr. Cnllom's speech, Mr. Call took tbe floor and spoke on the Cuban question. Washington, D. C December 10 Mr. Call's joint resolution at the close of his speech, was referred to tbe com. mittee on foreign relations. The bill to amend the immigration laws was then taken up. IN THE HOUSE. Washington, D C, December 10. C. J Boatner, elected from tbe fifth Louisiana district, was sworn in, by Speaker Reed. Under the call of committees, Mr. Scranton, from the committee on Ter ritories, called up the bill to restrict the ownership of lands in the Territo ries to American oitizens the holders of present titles to be protected, bow ever. By a vote of 104 to 7, the house passed tbe bill prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors in tbe capitol. The tenate substitute for the honse bill was agreed to. Tbe executive ses sion ended In the senate at 3:55 p. m. An adjournment was taken until Mon day. Washington, D. C, December 10 i At a meeting of the bouse committee on Territories, this morning, Mr. Catron, delegate from New Mexico, endeavored to secure tbe consent of the committee to amend tbe New Mexican statehood bill so as to provide for its admission two years hence. The com mittee, however, so obviously opposed considering any statehood bills, that the matter went over without disoussion New California Postmasters.

The national democrats are her stay as a new and distinct polltioal party. This, it Is given out. will tbe decision of the executive commit tee of tbe gold standardiies, and which is in session, to-day, at tbe new DennL son hotel, in response to the can oi ids national chairman, William V Uynum The latter recently returned from an eastern visit of several days' duration during which be conferred with n num ber of representative goia aemoorats. including ex.Secretary of tbe Treasury Fairebild, ex-Governor (lower, uuver Perrv Belmont and Bouike. Cockrah All of truss and others were of the opinion tbat the organization should be maintained and that tne national aemo orats should seek to occupy tbe posi tion beld up to tbe tims of tbe disrup tion, last September, 'by tbe united democratic party as tbe only simor pure exponent of democratic princi. p es. Tbe executive committee will probably issue an address to the na tion, inviting attention to the dangers that aro threatened by tbe continued agitation of the silver issue by Mr Bryan and the western mine owners. Chairman Bygum says tbat from all over the country there are coming de maods that tbe organization be made permanent and keep in fighting trim and tbat, inasmuch as the free silver democrats have decided to continue tbuir agitation, there is no reason why the gold standard democrats should not keep their flag at tbe mist-head The committee will have brought to Its attention the new democratic republl can movement initiated in the east by Henry Willard and others, and the main object of wbiob is to get tbe tariff and money laws out of the bands of tbe politicians, or in other words to rally the commercial interests of the country under tbe "sound money fl ig, and with proper tariff regulations enacted under tbe advice of a commis. sion of business men. While it is possible, however, tbat tbe the cxeou tive committee may approve of the principles of this movement, it is not indited to recommend a coalition Nearly every one of tbe members insists that the national democrats must con tinue to fiirbt for the principles of the Indianapolis platform, and that the gold-standard democratic party must continue as an active organization.

Darton, of tba United States Geological Surrey, is quoted in tbe Denver Republican at saying tbat there is a prac tically inexhaustible supply of artesian well water onler the plains lying at tbe foot of tbe eastern slope of the Rocky mountains, and that tbe geological survey mapping; this region, showing where and what depth the water may ha found. According to tbe interview quoted, lying under the foothills on tbe eastern slope of the Rocky mountains, there Is a great beet of sand or sauds'one placed between two layers ot clay. The sand holds the water which gets into it in the mountains and tbe natural dip allows it to ron down under tbe plains between tbe impermeable ij strata. The depth of this bed Varies from 'SO to 1.200 feet. It is not probable tbat the water is as plentiful everywhere as in tbe well known South Dakota arte sian well district; but Mr. Darton thinks tbat with reservoirs and other provisions for proper economy, there Is plenty of water to develop the rich desert soil to a profitable degree. -'-j Nothing shown at Ilfeld's gives more delight than the beautiful doll's furniture In white enamel, plain and decorated.

"tBURBUAY KVENINQ, OEU. 1C, 1896. Matters in congress are evidently starting out favorable to an endeavor to secure international bl-metallism. With a hot-head in the presidential chair the past four years, tbe United States would probably have hsd both a war wuu liugiauu o i- d.imj ,Af Knfl n on ner hands, we con t agree w..u. land on his bond issue, but we do thank him for maintaining peace. niff h Mr l.lpve- 1 Wltn Mr. leve Now that the enterprising people of the Pecos Valley have a large sugar f aotory in operation, and the outlook is that it will be both profitable to the J I. n t .i rrt nra ftf owDers oi tne same aim mo thn nnmmiinitv. every town in New Mexico is crying for a beet sugar fac torv. It is well and proper that they should do so, as the industry can be nnndnntRd with eaual profit in most any part of the Territory. A RTESIAN I1UUGAX ION. Elsewhere, in this paper, appears an article on artesian wells, in which N H. Dirton, of the Uuited States geo logical survey, says that there is prao tioally an inexhaustible supply of water all along the eastern side of the Rocky mountains, at a depth of from 50 to 1 200 faet, and he thinks that with prontr reservoirs enough water can be had, by artesian wells, to develop the rich soil of this oountry. This is indeed refreshing news to the people of this country, to whom Provi dence had given, seemingly, everything but plenty of water, and had but with held this from us until a time when it is valuable to us, and when we have the means to use it, Mr. Darton further says, that the geological survey is now making a map which will show exactly the dis tricts where water can be found and at what depth. Irrigation by artesian wells, where water can be obtained io plenty, is the most successful and satisfactory method of irrigation known. By it, the farmer has no "tangling alliances" with his neighbor; has water at all times and generally of a superior quality. The irrigation congress which meets in Pbceiix next week should look into the practicability of this sea of water, under us, being brought to tbe surface and turning our barren desert lands into sunny gardens. IiET fJ8 ttKT TOGETHER. The recent campaign seems to have drawn the citizens away from all kindi of citizens' clubs, and other united ef forts to do something for ourselves But now that poplitics have been put aside for business, let tbe progressive citizens get together in matters of vital importance. One of the main troubles with past efforts of this sort, has been that tbe few patriotic men who attend. ed, would be called upon to plaoe op posite their names, on a subscription paper, a good, liberal sum of money and then further take the street to urge others to do tbe same thing. But there are many things that such an organiza tiou can do without the outlay of dollar. Among these things, a document could be gotten up by a committee, and addressed to the new industrial agent of the Atchison road, setting forth, in conservative manner, the advantages that could accrue to the railroad com pany by arranging equitable freight rates on Iscoured wool and tanned hides. Again from experiments already made it has been Bhown that sugar beets can be raised here equal to those of the Pecos Valley, and at one time Clans Spreckels, the sugar king, offered to put in a factory at Las Vegas if the amount of beets required could be guaranteed. Certainly this could be done If uuited action were taken in the Mora, Sapello and Galllnas valleys. It is tbe business of the United States geolngcal survey to furnish information as to where artesian wells can be sunk with profit a committee from tho citi zsls club could get this data with but little mure expense than the postage. It is certainly a good token of pro' perity when the great railroads ol the went are taking the matter 6t establish Ing new industnos Into their own hands, m a nnrtain extent. More than bait get, In thi. world, may be had lor the asking. Lot us get togetner ouu ing. astc for something. MUD BATHS IN NEW MEXICO. Have Curative Powers Eqnal to the Bathe of Carlsbad.

TOURING THE VALLEY. Wealthy Brewers Identified witb Pecos Valley Sugar Interests. The special car -speria," occu pied by Messrs. Henry Uiblein, Edward Uibiein. Capt. rred raost, miss raosi and tbe Misses Uihlein, all in charge ol General Manager Goetz, of the sugar factory, who had gone to Chicago to escort tbe party hither, came in wea nesday morning. The gentlemen named are large stockholders in tbe sugar factory com pany ot this pities, and are reported to be seeking further investments, Tbey spent tbe day In Eddy visiting the factory aod points of interest. Yesterday morning tbey continued on to R swell, where an inspection of the upper valley will be made. They were iined here by Messrs. E. A. Cahoon and Charles ri. sparxs, oi nosweu who with Vice-President Faulkner, ao oomoanied tbe party on tiie northern valley trip. It is tbe intention to re turn to Eddy to-night, spending Satur day here, and then continue, tbe trip to Old Mexico. Of course, tbe visit of men so well known in the business world, and whose accumulated wealth aggregates an immense sum, has originated all sorts of rumors and proposed plans, What tbe gentlemen will decide to do is as yet uncertain. Tbe Argus has no knowledge that tbey nave commum oated their intentions to anyone. Tbey are pleased with the valley, and may after complete investigation, decide that it is a profitable field for invest ment. When a decision Is reached the Araus will not be dilatory in glv msr it to its readers. Individually, its opinion is that if Messrs. Uiblein and Pubst have oapital for investment.sugar factories in tbe Peoos valley must make strong appeals Eddy Argus.

Topeka Journal. Homers and Carrier rig-eons. The homer and the carrier are both brilliant fliers, .but the homer is the soeedier bird and better fitted for long distances. The homor has tbe widest unread winjrs of all pigeons, and can sail for an enormous cuatance uirougn midair. It is also considerably lighter than the carrier and is possessed of more nhenomenal powers of endurance, having been known to fly 800 miles Without alighting. On a clear day, with a eood skv and favorable wind, auu miles is an admirable record, although 600 miles a day is the goal of every pi- eeon flier's ambition. A bird that can perform this remarkable feat is worth at least S100. and may be vainea at auu if it is capable of a better record. The bird's sramouoss, stamina and speed reach their highest point of excellence at 8 and 4 vears of ace, which is the natural prime of life for a flier. After they have passed their prime they de teriorate in a scarcely noticeable degree and at 10 or 13 years of age are still good for the shorter distances. Chicago Journal.

I tried every known remedy, consulted the best physi cians, visited Hot Springs, Ark., three times, spending $1000 there, besides doctors' bills; hut could obtain only temporary relief, My flesh was wasted away so that I welfhed only ninety-three pounds my left arm and leg were drawn out ol shave, the nuisolss IPS! m being twisted up in knots. I was unable to dress myself, except with assistance, and could only hobble about by using a cane. I had no appetite, and was assured, by the doctors, that I could not live. The pains, at times, were so awful, that I could procure reiki only by means of hypodermic Injec tions of morphine. I had my limbs bandaged in clay, In sulphur, in poultices; but these gave only temporary relief. After trying everything, and suffering the most awful tortures, I begun to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Inside of two months, I was able to walk without a cane. In three months, my limbs began to strengthen, and in the course of a year, I was cured.
