SHALL THE RIGHT TO CONDEMN
FOLLOW DISCOVERY?

The approaching season Of legis-
lation has brought to mind a ques-
ton which it has occurred to Inc is
worthy of the consideration Of those
interested in the development of
the great wealth Of empire hidden
upon the high line Of the CONT
nent. In the past, as Don as
there was a mere prospect, and be-
fore there was a railroad in sight,
most Of the states and territories,
through their legislative assem-
blies, came very promptly to the
front, and by way OF encourage
ment, enacted liberal legislation {;
in some Instances, q bitter expert
ence has taught. when vested
rights had accrued and too late for
immcdltatc remedy, advancing t.
the verge OF a compromise of cor
responding benefits hoped for
when the railroad became Il pres
ent fact.
An item Of no mean proportion
in railroad legislation is the class
o. law which enables railway com
panies to condemn the right of
way, to the extent sometimes Of
wlping out ones house, garden and
home of taking a liberal area of
improved city property, or of a
farm under cultivation, for depot
purposes and for machine shops,
round houses, offices and dwell
ings for condemnng springs and
water courses, standing timber and
gravel beds. allthis with a provision
that upon application to the court,
there would be IL commission ap-
pointed to examine the property,
take testimony, and assess the val
ne ; the value of the property con
demned, as stated under the laws
OF some states or territories, to be
that value which existed before the
railroad was present or in prospect;
the amount thus assessed to be
paid by the railroad to the owner
of the property taken by the for
mer.

TERRITORIAL
OUR NEW YORK LETTER
from our regular correspondent.

New York, Jan. 9TH, 1884.
The appalling condition of the
streets, impeded travel, depleted
pocket, colds, wet feet, and indi
gestion, all of which followed
Christmas, have somewhat detract-
from the glowing memories Of that
holiday. To my mind the most
attractive feature of the New York
holidays is the universal charity
shown to the poor, People have
a small idea Of the vast numbers
Of charitable men and women who
devote nearly all of this time and
n great deal of money 10 those in
want. No one from his own eXpe-
rience can get any idea of the eX-
tent OF this charity, but a glance
at the papers on the day after
Christmas will always show how
much has been done. Railroad
magnates give away thousands and
thousands and thousands of tur-
:eys, great corporations open their
hearts and give money to their
clerks ; business men remember
their employees; merchants give
flour, feed, grain, poultry and feed
of various sorts to the missionaries,
who dispense it from the steps
of the city hall and from wagons
which traverse the poorer portions
Of the city ; Churches have Christ
mas-trees and free dinners for the
poor of their Pensioners and nu-
merous gifts to Sunday School chill
dren /; newsboys IRE gathered to-
gether and dined to the point Of
safety, and tramps beggars and
outlaws are taken in by the va
rious charitable institutions and
generously fed; banks and banks
of flowers are sen, to the hospitals
and even the prisoners in the peni-
Tertiary have a Christmas and
New Years dinner. This is only a
general glance over the field. 1t
leaves out daily charities parcticed
by thousands Of kind people, and
it only gives a faint idea of the
many generous acts of the citizens
of this great city,
Two men met and passed each
other in lower Broadway. They
were both underuzed and their
falls were not such as to save them
from the commonplace rank to
The Lincoln County leader. [volume] (White Oaks, Lincoln County, N.M.) 1882-189?, 1884-01-19

which their lowness of stature as
signed them, In a military com
pany they would inevitably be
placed in the rear rank. One was
gray-bearded, stoop-shouldered and
plodu'Ng his clothes were not eN-
actly fashionable, and were worn
c~arclessly, his eyes we're downcast
and he gave as little attention to
the throng as they bestowed on
him. The other small man was
somewhat shapclier, his mustache
and imperial impaired more eX-
preston to his face, and his move
ments were brisker but his short
ness of stature kept him out OF no
tice. He seemed cngrossed in his
own thoughts, too, and paid no
heed TO the other man whom |
have described. | do not think
that they saw each other, nor do !
know whether they are on speaking
terms. Why do ! pick ont these
two individuals for notice, if there
was nothing unusual about them,
and a New York crowd passed
them by without a glance Be
cause they were war heroes. One
was Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, andthe
other was Gen. Geo. b. Mcclellan.
They had long ago pursued and
overtaken glory /; now they were in
the general American chase after
wealth. Gen. Grant had been in
a number Of great railroad schemes
some of which have undoubtedly
forfeited him, while others-espe.
cially Mexican Ones-hold possible
millions tor future realization. Nc
Clellan is also connected with rail
road construction, but less specu-
latively, his great talent as an en-.
gineer being in very remunerativC
demand.
The art loan exhibition in New
York has aided S12, 600 to the
Bartholdi-pcdestrial fund, a consid.
cradle sum, of course, but far toe
small to fill out the deficit, which
yet exceeds the amount raised BY
something like 500, 600. Evl
IDENTITY the rich men Of New York
will be obliged to 60 deeper YET
into their pockets and how tc
persuade them to do so is the veX
atoms problem that taxes the inge
nuity Of the committee, The stat
ute is rapidly tecoming a bore tc
the sordid New Workers who new
er respond very freely to any ap
peal to their patriotism or public
spirit.

THE NEW YEAR

Silent and white
Thru' the dim night
Fell the snow slow
Now fast, now slow.
Making the posts
Like sheeted ghost,
RobiuV thu woods
In hncr goods
Then ever were spun by mertal skill
And bipachcd ON the sunny side OF the hill.
Then fringes were woven by VIEWERS. where
The wrap Is mist and the wool is air;
The world is dressed. like II bride, Is white.
Although the poor old year died last night.
Drop not a tear
ON the cold bier
or { h g brave year
Whose course IL here
Iiis work is done
Aud battles wOu.
And he win 10
Named with the FREQ
Through future time
For dpods sublime.
We welcome horc
The new horn year.
The snow that fails
From the gray walls
or the thick clouds
Is no for shrouds
For h days lied
Or the years dead.
It's the white fleece
Emblem Of peace,
sent down to caccr
The soft young year.
May no re Il vein
Make u red stain
On the robe white
Woven Ia { night.
So ring I h G soft
Sweet bells aloft,
Ring the true chime
OF p g good time
Ring loud and cl,ur
For this New Year.

"WouId Were a Boy Again"

Old Mr.. Wardlcs was watching the
BOYS cOasting on one OF the streets, and
as the cutters were tearing down at the
rate Of thirty miles an hour, his memo
~ Travelled back forty years, and he
impulsively remarked to young man
that he would give $4,000 if he were
a boy again" A juvenile with red
sled and red nose heard the remark,
and asked Mr. Wardles if he didn't
want to ride down. Wardlcs said he
believed he would try one trip. He
weighs 200 pounds, and when he got
on the clipper its joints creaked omi-
nously and his eyes sparkled with fun.
The boys gave him good send-of, and
pretty soon the sled yeered sideways,
there was crash. and Ward.cs went
end over end for about twenty yards,
and then douDlc-clipper, containing
six boys, struck him amidships and
turned him over some more in a most
ridiculous aud painful manner, and
just rs he regaiGed his feet another
jumper dashed into his legs, and'he sat

Outwitting a Fog.

A scientist, while out in a boat one
night on a river in Florida, was caught
in fog SO dense that he could not
see twenty feet ahead. The boatmen
stopped rowing, and said they would
have to wait for daylight or till the fog
cleared away. as they did not know in
what direction to steer. The scientist
showed them what science can do for
man in an emergency. He says: at
once stood up in the boat and hallooed.
Soon the echo came back. Pointing in
the direction from which the echo
came, | said: There is the nearest
land.
Rowing a half-mile in the direction
of the echo, we soon reached the land
and "coasted" home. The boatmen
expressed great surprise that they had
been on the river all their lives and
had never thought of SO simple and
easy plan TO find shore when lost in
fog. A knowledge of so simple a
fact saved me many dismal hour,
night and day, too, on the river.
Fishermen to whom | have communi-
Gated this have told me knowledge OF
this would often have saved them from
whole nights of useless toll, and would
have been worth hundreds of dollars
in their business. Steamboat pilots
may also be benefited. / have seen
them run ashore with the echo striking
them in the teeth During a fog the
atmosphere is 50 saturated with moist
urc that it is a much better conductor
Of sound than when dry.
Two results follow: First, sound
travels faster and hence the echo re-
turns more speedily; and second, the
sound is heard more distinctly
Remembering these Two facts, per-
son with little practice can soon de-
termine the approximate distance Of

The market is unchanged since the open
