ing of the Irish'pauper.. immigrants lately
landed in New York, remarks;
The English Government is now un.
dertaking to do for surplus agricultural
population, which has not food enough
to live upon, exactly what is usually
done in individual cases by private
means. Of course among the people ii
assists in this way, in the present condi-
ton of Ireland, there will be more real

emigrants, and these ought to be, and
will be weeded out; but the idea gravely
suggested of sending back all the "assist

proposition.
1t is we'll not to mistake the real point
of the objection. 1t is bad enough tc
have shipped to this country people who
are so destitute that they are not able t
pay their own transportation hither with
out assistance; but that is not so objection
able, if the persons thus helped are able
bodied and competent to earn their OWL
livelihood.

county. Here lie learned of a
province a days journey to the
north called Tanos, containing as
stated in the report 10000 people.
Espeio undertook to visit the lat
ter province, but his force being
small and meeting an opposition
force, he abandoned the purpose
and Immediately returned to Mex
leo, going down the Rio Pecos.
This was early in the month of
July, 1898, just 300 years ago
from next July, the time appointed
for the exposition.
We have thus a date certain of
EspCio's explorations in New Mex
leo and in Santa Fe county, and an
account Of how he attempted to
visit Tanos pueblo now Santa Fc),
and according to tradition the cen
ter Of operation among.the Pueblo
Indians.
1t was then, as now, Il stragctic
point ofcasy access from towards
Taos and San Juan pueblos to the
north, Pecos to the east, San Hide
fonso and Santa Domingo upon
the Rio Grandc to the west and
from the group Of pucblos south
and Galisteo. Onate came with Il
colony in September, 1898, and
first located at Chamita, upon the
west bank of the Rio Grande
where the Rio Chama emptics into
the former, and was named San
Gabriel.
The settlement Of Tanos or Tc-
qua, on Cicuyc, as some insist, by
Europeans, followed almost immc-
diately under the name Of Fl Tegu-
ava, subsequently named Santa Fe,
and was made the capital OF the
Spanish province of New Mexico.
Except rs interrupted by rcvolu-
tons, it has continuously remained
the capital to the present time, and
center Of civil, military, e%cclcsias-
teal and commercial operations.
This i'll brief is the early history
Of New Mexico and the basis Of the
proposed celebration to be held in
Santa Fe next summer.
The subject of the celebration be-
longs to the whole territory, while
the great central point Of historical
Interest," is Santa Fe. The early
history including Santa Fe itself,
and the oldpalace, the Oldest gov
eminent house in the United States
and singular certainly belongs to
the whole territory, 1t is to be
hoped that the celebration and ex.
position will be made general.
Every portion of the territory
should, as | have no doubt they
will, become substantially intercs
ted in its success. Whatever benc
fit accrucs from the presence o
numerous visitors to the cxposi
ton, cannot help but rebound t.
the benefit of all.
The Lincoln County leader. [volume] (White Oaks, Lincoln County, N.M.) 1882-189?, 1883-02-03

BY W. G. RITCH.
The objects and purposes of an
historical celebration certainly can
not find a broader or grander field
than in this, our own territory and
home; nowhere upon this great
continent can be found a history
more replete with heroic adventure
Of more thrilling interest, or Of
greater antiquity than in New Mex
leo, of Which Santa Fe is the cen
trail figure and most ancient capital
city in all this broad Republic.
Away back in the 10th century a
remnant of Il party of explorers
found themselves stranded, wrecked
and destitute upon the western
shores of the Gulf of Mexico
This party was Cabeza de Vaca
and three companions. Thousands
of miles of a trackless Wilderness,
then wholly unknown to Europeans
and bcset with savages, lay be-
tween this small party and their
Spanish brethren in sparscly settled
Mexico. Nothing daunting, this
intrepid little band, with nothing
moro Of this worlds goods at their
command than the Indifferent cloth
ing which covered their nakedness,
but with indomitable will, cndur-
ance of steel, and their own tact,
entered upon the hazards of ira
versing this uneXplored and
TRACKLEss CONTINENT
in the forlorn hope Of reaching
their countrymen and friends some
where upon the other side. The
undertaking antodated any perma-
nent European settlement within
the bounds of what has slnce be-
come our own beloved country, the
United States. 1t was less than q
decade later than the conquest OF
Mexico by Cortez, and nearly a
century previous to the landing OF
the Pilgrims upon the shores Of
Massachusetts Bay that these Spar
tan souls departed upon the most
wonderful and successful journeys
known to the pages of history. The
point Of departure was upon the
gulf coast Of either louisiana OF
Texas as known to modern gcogra
phies.

distress. The people thus met and
described by Cabeza de Vaca and
his companions correspond with
those who were found and dcscrib-
ed by subsequent explorers in New
Mexico, upon the slopes of the Rio
Grande, at Santa Fc and at Zuni.
These were the first towns, the
first permanent settlements Of a
people possessing habits Of civil
zation within the borders of this
great nation Of free people, and
who had thus attained to their cs-
tate many generations anterior to
the landing of Columbus. The
same distinctive people, with the
same habits, although greatly re-
duced in numbers by wars, aggres-
siye and defensive, still constitute
an important element in the popu-
lation OF New Mexico in this last
quarter of
THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.
Furnished with supplies and
such means of comfort as was pos
sible for the small party to carry
with them, after still another pc
Rod of wandering, in all probabil-
ity FIVE years, they arrived in the
spring of 1886, at the town of San
Miguel, upon the west coast of
Mexico, and in May following re-
ported to the Viceroy at the City
of Mexico. The stories of Cabeza
de Yaca Of a great people living in
towns and cities far to the north,
were in confirmation of traditions
and statements previously made by
the native Mexican people. AS a
consequence, expeditions were at
once fitted out, the first under the
lead of Friar Marcos de MIA, who
took with him as a guide, Esteban,
a Blackamore, and one of Vaca's
party.
MIA only reached the Cabola
country, (Zuni). Estcvan had pre-
coded him a few days, and was the
first to arrive at Zuni. His indis-
erection cost him his life, and came
nigh bringing the whole party into
difficulty, and making the return OF
MIA a necessity. The report OF
MIA was confrmatorv.
The expedition of Coronado, gov.
crnor of New Galocia, under the
patronage of the Vicoroy, followed
in 1910, with assured hopes Of fnd.
ing great stores of gold and silver
among the people, as had beer
found by Pizarro in Peru, and by
Cortcz in Mexico. The expedition
was composed very largely of scion'
of royalty, and persons Of refine
ment and wealth, most Of whom
were lily prepared to Withstand tho

The House has passed the bill to
build a new capitol, at a cost of one
million dollars, by vote of SO yeas
to So nays. The time in which it
is to be built has been put at six
years, and only 100000 can be
spent the first year, and $l8O,OOO
each year afterwards. Of the $780,
900 the city of Atlanta will furnish
$50, 900, leaving only $4,000 to be
paid by the State. AtlaOta donates
the city hall park as the site for the
buidipg. The bill forbids any in
crease of taxation to raise money
for the capitol. The present build
ing can be sold for enough to pay
one years expense. The bill pro-
vides for FIVE commissioners at a
salary of $1,000 year each, who
are to act in conjunction with the
Governor, President of the Senate,
and Speaker of the House, in Super
vieing, letting contracts, etc.

USURY.

Mr.. Harris, of Bib, has intlo-
duced q bill TO amend the usury act
SO as to make it allowable to charge
twelve per ceLt for money if there
is a written contract, the legal rate
to remain eight per cent. We see
20 just reason why the bill should not
pass. Money is taxed like oil other
property, and its owner should be
untrammelIed to use it to the best
advantage. There would be as much
Justice in regulating the price Of
corn, wheat, hogs, horses or real es-
tate, ms to arbitrarily regulate the
price of money. The borrower
knows his business and knows what
rate of interest he is able to pay
witbou. the State stepping 10 and
debating to him, as if he was such
au irresponsible idiot as to need a
guardian. The time prices on pro-
visions are from thirty to fifty per
cent, and ye. the law would say a
man shall not borrow money at u
per cent, and buy provisions at cash
price, when he could save more than
double the amour! by such trans
action. The bill was defeated.

ENL1aHTN1Ne A BAR KEEPER.
Savannah Times

Yesterday evening a man walked
into a Jefferson, street bsr-room,
where a crowd was drinking, and
sal to the bar.keeper: T'm pretty
good at slight Of haud DOW if you'll
fll glass with whisky and set it
under your hat or the counter, I'll
drink the liquor and guarantee that
in thirty seconds il will be back uu-
der the hat again The bar>keep-
or placed glass of liquor on the
counter, placed bis straw hat over it,
and said, go aheed.' The man
muttered some incoherent magical
words, and then taking the whisky
from under the hat deliberately
draok it. The excitement of the
crowd was intense 10 anticipation of
the whisky's returning under the hat.
Then the slight-of hand man slowly
