Wonders of New Mexico.

The surveys at present being made for the
Kansas City, FL Paso and Mexican Railroad,
which will be built in diagonal direction
through Mexico from northeast to southwest,
promise to bring 10 the light of modern eN-
ploration some regions of remarkable interest in
New Mexico Territory which have heretofore
been closed to the scientist on account of their
inacceS>ibility.
During their progress the surveyors came
upon the ruins of Gran Guivera. known to the
early Spanish explorers under Coronado, but
which have been visited by white men less Of
ten even then the mysterious ruins of Palen-
que i'll Central America
Very few people have been at Gran Guivera,
because it is at present forty miles from water.
The surveyors found the ruins to be OF gigantic
>t"ne buildings made in the most substantial
nanlc' and of grand proportions. One OF
th, was four acres in extent. All indications
around the aims point TO the existence at one
time of a dense population. No legend of any
kind exists as to how this great city was des-
troyed, or when it was abandoned.
One of the engineers attached to the survey
ing geNpedtion advances the theory that Gran
Guivera was in existence and undoubtedly sup
piled with water at the time the terrific volcano
eruption took place which formed the lava flow
called Molpais that the heat generated destroy
ed the whole surrounding country and perma-
nently dried up its winter supply, and that thus
the inhabitants were forced to abandon it and
the country generally.
The few MeXicans scattered through this
country with their small goat herds still have
a tradition that untold treasures are Secreted
under these ruins, and q few years ago an eX-
pedition Of adventures left Socorro for the
purpose of dragging forth this treasure. They
stayed at Gran Guivera and hunted until their
water gave out and then returned unsuccessful
and disheartcned.

A Successful Peoples Movement.

Bill Nye says: | have always thought that
life was the one adopted some wears since in
the case Of Cincinnatus. He was one day
breaking IL pair of neryous red steers in the
north field. 1t was Il hot day in July. and he
was trying to summer faow piece of ground
where the jin>on weeds grew seven feet high.
The plough would not scour. and the steers
had turned the yoke twice on him. Cincnnatus
had hung his to"a on tanarac pole to strike a
furrow by, and hadn't succeeded in getting the
pl0W in Llore than twice in going across.
Dressing. as he did. in the Roman custom of
-t5S b. G.. the blackberry vines had scratched
his massive LEGS till they We're Il sight to be-
hold. He had >courgcd Old Bright and twist
ed the tail of Bolly till he was sick at heart.
All through the long afternoon. wearing hot,
rusty helmet with rabbi-Skin ear-tabS, he had
toied on, when suddenly majority of the
Roman voters climbed over the fence and ask
ed him TO become dictator in place of Spurius
Meliu>.
Putting on his toga and buckling an old
hame strap around his ons he said: "Gentle-
men, if you will wait till 20 to the house
vcur debating for you as low as you have ever
had it DONE He then left his team standing
in the furrow while he served his country in
an official capacity for little over twcnty-nine
wears. after which he went back and resumed
his farming.
Though 2,300 years have since passed away
and historians have been busy with that epoch
ever since, no one has yet discovered the meth
ods by which Cincinnatus organized and exc
cuted this the most successful ''People's Move
mcnt" of which we are informed.

and maintenance Of one industry helps all 9TH
er industries. 1t not only increases the mar
ket for their products, but every avOcatiOn dis
continued must send out its employees to COM
pete with wOrkingnen in other avOcatiOnS. or
into i'lleness and poverty. Hence every indus
try is interested that every other industry
should live and flourish.
Why, suppose our manufacturing should
cease to exist. as the Mills bill provides, where
would the millions of men employed in it go:
Some other avoeation would have to be crowd
ed with them or support them in the poor
houses of the country. And yet this debate
are the chief objects of attack in this bill. The
gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Clardy) ar
ragned the six New England states and New
\ lork. Pennsylvania, and New Jersey for hav
ing advanced under protection beyond the 9TH
cr States.
If this be true. it has come from the fact that
these nine States have availed themselves of
the advantage which a protected revenue sys-
TEN has given to the whole country alike; that
they have used their advantages like good and
faithful servants. while the complaining States
have. like the sluggish servant, hidden their
talents. that is. their opportunities, in the
ground and it is equally true that these
American manufactures have furnished to our
people goods at price 30 per cent. lower than
they formerly got them from fcregn manufac-
tories. \ denial of this. and the claim that
these American manufactures have tiouriShed
by making goods cost more to the consumer
than we paid to English manufacturers during
the days of low duties. is denial of the potent
facts of history: but our Democratic friends
say they have unduy pro>pered under protec-
tion. and the system must, therefore, he abol-
i>hed.
