Ed. Raum, Administrator OF the es-
tate of Geo. p. McConkey, offers a re-
ward of 81, 900 for the arrest and con-
viction of the murderer or murderers
Of Geo. Z. McConkey. To many this
looks like an attempt on the part OF
the bondsmen to crawl out of paying
tie amount of the McConkey defalca-
ton. It's a little bit thin. We all
know that McConkey would be alive
and risky as ever had he been elected
Treasurer. Let justice be done, no
matter who it hurts. The murder
theory won't work.

..NothIn0 for Wear and Tear

A bill to essentially change the law
concerning breaches of promise to
marry has been introduced in the
British House of Commons, with a
fair chance, 1t is thought, Of passage.
1t rules out the plea of blighted affec-
lions, wrecked hopes and inconsol-
able grief. The old way is left open
to actions for damages for money ex-
pended or pecuniary loss suffered by
the plaintiff through the uDfulflled
promise OF the defendant, but nothing
al be recovered for wear and tear OF
heart, or mental suffering caused by
n mans or woman's pertidy, or fail

If the thousands who emigrated
from Canada and the east to Mani
toba and along the line OF the
Northern Paci0c, those frozen re.
giDns, of. the North where there is
nine months winter, had directed
their steps to this part of the coun.
try, there would not have so many
of them become disguised and
gone back. If now they could get
the right information and become
convinced of what kind of a coun.
try we have here in New Mexico,
especially Lincoln County, | think
they would try emigration a second
time and make a stay of it. They
would find here a most splendid
climate, the country so elevated
that we have no uncomfortable
heat in summer. and SO far south
that there is but little winter. The
finest of grazing lands for all kinds
of stock, and on the elevated me-
a and in the valleys and gulches,
and OH the northern slopes OF the
mountains a rich black soil which
will yield without irrigation as
richly as any land in the northern
states, any and all kinds of crops
raised there. l mean such a soil
as is found on tho upper Bonito and
Its small tributaries, on Eagle Creek,
the Ruidoso, the Penasco and
places in the Captain mountains.
There was raised, on the Penasco,
last season, five hundred bushels OF
potatoes to the acre. Besides the
mining industry affords as good a
maaket as one could wish for all
kinds of crops and garden vegeta-
bles. We hope to see the right
kind of information in regard to

He Got Home all Right

A man WHO has got fun in him
will be funny under the most dis.
tressing circumstances. This was
illustrated recently in the case OF
Mr.. Frank Hatton, assistant post
master general and editor. He was
on a sleeping car from New York
to Washington, and when he got
up in the morning at his destina-
ton, he found that his pants had
been stolen. The passengers were
getting off the car, and all sympa-
thized with IIatton, but none of
them offered him their pants. He
wrapped a red sleeping blanket
around him, took a feather duster
and placed the handle down his
back so that the feathers stood up
over his head, and stood in the
aisle of the car, when everybody
laughed, except the car porter,
who turned pale. A friend said:
We'll, Frank, what are you going
to do3" Frank looked at himself in
the glass, and said: We'll, | guess
I'll take a hack, go up to the secre-
tRry Of the interior and ask to be
sent back to my reservation" The
oldest mar in the world could not
have studied up a funnier answer
in a week. President Arthur, who
happened to be on board, lent Mr..
lIatton the flannel Ease to his
double barrelled shot gun, for
pants, and he got home all night.

wants to know why We do not fay
or prohibition The question is
easily answered. In Arkansaw, rs
in all other states, prohibition has
proved Il failure. In the main, it
does not lessen the sale of whiskcy,
but deprivcs the towns Of revenue.
1t does not promote sobriety, but
increases stealthy drinking. Pro
hibitlon, In this state, although it's
leaders claim to be real retormers,
is simply a political movement.
Old politicians, whose hobbies of
former days are worn out, and who
have tried in vain to keep their
names i'll print, resort to the tenn
perancc move.
a very sod affair has just result
ed from prohibition, in Lawrence
county, this state. A man stopped
at u house and asked for whiskey.
The husband was away from home
and the wife, in a spirit of neigh
borly kindness, gave whiskey to
the man, from a bottle she kept for
medicinal purposes. She intended
no violation of the law. She did
not know that the eagle of Ameri-
can liberty was sustaining an in
suit at her hands but she was ar
rested, by authority of the law
which torbids the sale or giving a.
way Of intoxicating liquors within
three miles of a church or school
hovse, arraigned before court, and
fined two hundred dollars. Being
poor, and unable to pay the fine,
she was sent to Jail, where, with
her siX-weeks-old child, she became
an inmate Of n criminals cell. The
CLOSE confinement began to tell I'M
mediately upon the child's health,
and, with a feeling of horror the
poor mother noted the wasting face
and deathly countenaace but the
law must be aycnged-the great
rule of action must be appeased.
The child grew worse. The poor
woman prayed for sunlight, and
God granted fresh air, but the
bolts did not draw back. She had
given whiskey to n man, within
three miles of q church. The man
who had committed murder could
20 out on bail. The hog thief had
friends the burglar was out in the
sunlight, but the poor woman, with
her dying child, sat in the gloom OF
a cell. All, that was a proud vim
dication of the law, gentlemen.
That tells YOU whether or not pro-
hibition will prohibit. Who, wit
Messing that poor woman and that
suffering child, could say that the
law is not enforced in the great
state of Arkansaw. ut makes no
difference" the leaders of the great
reform could say, "if the murder
ers did secure a change Of venue,
and finally defeat justice. We are
not running that kind of law. We
I prohibitionists, we are. We
don't care anything about your
thieves and your murderers, but
when a woman violates our law she
must suffer the consequences"
Finally a petition was gotten up
by generous people, and sent to
Governor Berry, giving the facts
and stating that the woman's child
was dying, w~hereupon the governor
granted a pardon.
This is one reason why we do
not favor q law of such oppression.
