Madre D'Oro.
The rate of the Man who Entered the
Home of the Gold.
New York World.l


A story about which there is a fascination
which it is impossible to resist when you hear
men tell it is that of the" Home of the Gold
Somewhere in southwestern New Mexico, In
the Sierre Madre, it is said, there is wonder
full valley. Small, inclosed in high, rocky
walls, and accessible only through secret pas
sage, which is known to but few, is this ex-
traordipary place. 1t is about 10 acres in ex-
tent, and has running through it stream
which waters it thoroughly and makes it a per-
feet paradise, with its exquisite flowers and
beautiful trees In it are thousands of birds of
the most brilliant plumage. Running across 1t
is ledge of pure gold, about 80 feet wide,
which glistens in the sunlight like great gol-
den belt. The stream crosses this ledge, and,
as it runs, murmurs around blocks of yellow
metal as other streams do among the pebbles.
The ledge of gold is supposed to be solid gold
and to run down into the center Of the earth.
The legend is of Indian origin, and around ID
clusters number of Indian stories, in which
the name of the ill-fated Montezuma occurs
frequently. The descendants OF the Astecs be-
lieve firmly that the day will come when
Montezuma will will return and free them
from the dominion of the descendants of the
Conquistodores. They believe that the money
necessary for this Work VIII De taken from
Madre d'Oro. The secret of the entrance into
the valley is supposed to be carefully guarded
by tribe of Indians living near it, and among
them is only communicated to the Oldest men,
amid the solemn ceremonies of the medicine
lodge. Having such story to work upon,
there is little wonder that the vivid imagina-
tion of the Mexicans should have built upon il
tales of men who have found this wonderful
place. One is that a certain Jose Alvarez,
while wandering through the mountains in
search of game, saw the valley from the top Of
one of the walls. Finding that he could not
hope to enter it by climbing down, be took up
his abode with the Indians who guard the can
on leadin into it, The daughter of the chief
fell in love with him and betrayed the secret
to him. Exactly how she found it out they do
not tell. Having been shown the entrance,
jose went in and would possibly have gone
away with some of the gold had he not
weighed himself down TO such an extent that
he could not get up the declivity at the lower
end of the passage. He was discovered, and
the Indians sacrificed him on the golden
ledge with all of the terrible ceremonies of the
old Aztec religion. The girl, in despair at
losing him, threw herself from the high walls
into the valley below. Hundreds of prospect
ors have spent months Of toll trying to find the
Madre dOro but, it is scarcely necessary TO
say. with no result

MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 13.

ELECTION, MONDAY, MAR, 20.
FOR MAYOR,
CHARLES f. LIBBY
The Tariff Commission.

The tariff commission bill after having
been several times passed over, comes up
for consideration in Congress this week, and
there is prospect of warm fight over it.
The reasons for opposition to it ara not at
all weighty. The bill is one which would
naturally commend itself to all reasonable
men, whether they believe in tariff or no
tariff for it proposes thorough investiga-
ton of the matter and wise and impartial
report on the evidence obtained from and by
competent and trustworthy men. Those
who are opposed to a protective tariff ought
to welcome an exposure of what they be-
lieved to be it's injustice and its inexpedien-
cy. While they who favor it must see that
the present system, however wise in policy,
practically works many injustices, and in
not few instances defeats its own aim.
The bill for commission, which is in the
interest of neither side to the controversy,
ought therefore to pass. The passage is
doubtful, however. Parliamentary delays
are so many and tedious, and private inter-
ests are so often preferred to public, that
this important measure may very likely be
pushed out of the way by the crowd OF bills
of little general concern.
The Portland daily press., 1882-03-13

A MOVEMENT is on foot to secure the pas
sage by Congress of a bill directing that all
immigrants arriving in this country should
be vaccinated, unless they produce certifi-
cate showing that the operation was per-
formed before they left home. This is un-
questionably step in the right direction.
There can be no manner of doubt that the
great prevalence of small pox at the present
time is largely due to the enormous influx
of foreigners from countries where vaccina-
ton is little practiced or not at all. These
people bring the germs Of the disease over
with them, to be developed after their ar
rival, and the fact that they are unprotected
themselves renders them source OF danger
to others. They spread themselves through
the States, and serve at once to feed and
propagate the horrible disease. Vaccina-
ton should be made compulsory every
where, and it would be no more than pru-
dent to begin by making it compulsory at
the ports of emigrant arrival.

RAILROAD managers look with favor on
Mr. Adam proposed bill for national rail
road commission. Mr.. Hugh j. Jewett
says: "I have no doubt if commission OF
intelligent and impartial men were created,
with authority to examine fully into the con-
dition and necessities of the railroad inter-
ests of the country, it would be able to de-
wise system of legislation which would be
protective of the public as well as Of the rail
road properties and companies" Mr.. Van
derbilt remarked that "Charles Francis Ad-
ans knows what he is talking about" and
says the measure would be satisfactory. Mr..
Mr.. j. Tillinghast, assistant president of the
Central Hudson road, thinks '.the bill would
accomplish more than any measure that has
yet been suggested The Chicago Tribune
thinks the approval of the railroads is
caused by the hope that the appointment of
commission would lead to delay. 1t urges
a commission with greater powers.

A BILL recently introduced in the Nation
al House, and now before the judiciary COM
mittee for consideration, is of great interest
to all wholesale merchants, manufacturers
and Others who employ commercial travel
ers to sell goods by sample. The bill is one
which prohibits any State or municipal cor
poration from interfering in any way with
any commercial traveller, selling by sample
goods, wares and merchandise of any kind,
who may be travelling in State other than
the one in which the merchant or manufac-
turer does business for which said traveller
is acting, and providing that any officer who
shall thus interfere shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor and be liable to indict-
ment before the United States grand jury in
the district in which the interference occurs !;
and, if convicted, shall be liable to pay a
fine not to exceed one hundred dollars, or
three months Imprisonment in Jail, or both

EVERY fresh dispatch from the flooded
region along the Mississippi Valley describes
the situation as being worse than it has
been previously represented. The state of
things at last accounts is simply appalling.
Thousands of people are destitute, and un-
less they are to perish from privation, they
must for some time be extraneously sup
ported. Congress has done something, and
will no doubt do more, but unless the char
liable public does its part, it will go hard
with the poor people whom such terrible
misfortune has overtaken.: Congress can
not properly be called upon to do all that
the exigencies of the situation demand.

DURING the last three months the police
of New York city have arrested 1884 per-
sons. Of these arrests nearly one-half were
natives of this country, and 1852 of these
arrested persons could read and write. The
New York Sun, from which we take these
statistics, says: "The statistics in regard to
the education of the arrested show that our
common school instruction does not keep
people from crime. Of the whole number
only about one in thirty was unable to read
and write.'

THERE have been 1897 divorces decreed in
Philadelphia since September, 1878, and
the Record alleges that the divorces there
during a year are more by 100 per cent. than
in any other city of the Union in proportion
to population, the system being easier than
Illinois, Indiana, and other Western
States, where divorce laws are considered
unusually lax.

A Good Little Boy Story

Troy Times
A little boy wanted drum. His mother,
wishing to give him an impressive lesson, sug-
gested that if he should pray for it he might
receive one So at night, when ready for bed,
he knelt down and prayed:
'sNow 1 lay me down TO sleep,
Il want a drum)
L Ipray the Lord my soul to keep,
q want a drun.)
If should die before l wake,
Il want drum,)
pray the Lord my soul to take,
Il want a DRUM
His Jather who had been let into the secret,
had meanwhile quietly placed a drum on the
bed. As the younester rose and his eyes fell
on the drum he exclaimed in an emphatic
manner that banished all serious thoughts
from the minds of his listeners: Where the
devil did that drum come from?'
