As a rule, the West Virginian who
is drawn to the west in search of the
fabulous FL Dorado, or Of some fer
tile plain where cereals are Of spon-
taneous growth and yield an immense
harvest, comes back after few years
and settles down on his humble farm
better satisfied with his surroundings
and opportunities here. Hefinds the
country created more upon an equal
ity than he supposed and taking
everything into consideration, if any
part of it has been particularly IA
vored, it is West Virginia. Land
may lie more suitable for cultivation
in the West, but building and fencing
material is scarce and the country is
not near so healthy there as here
The man who was reared in the pure
air of the West Virginia hills and has
quaffed the limpid waters of her
mountain streams, can never endure
the arid winds of the western plains
nor tolerate the stagnant waters of the
swamps.
West Virginia is the State above all
others in which to be healthy and hap
py and grow rich. The man who
goes out to find better country will
come back poorer but wiser man
and declare that this is the best and
most favored country under the sun.

EFor the Spirit of Jeferson.i
Down Beside the Sea.


What grandeur in the briny deep
The host of waves that never sleep
A strange immensity
Resplendent meets the rowing eye.
Oh what world of wonders liey
Down beside the sea.
'Tis night, aud darkness spreading far,
And now, quieseently each star,
Looks down upon the main.
The silvery moon, with queenly pride
Glides forth and draws the mighty tide,
As il with silken chain.
The world of man is hushed In sleep,
Save where some part, their vigils keep,
Der death, in crime, or glee;
The rolling waves are never still,
The coral caves their voices fill,
With magic harmony.
'Tis day, the golden sun shines now,
The gentle zephyr fans the brow
And dallies, near the lee;
The waters ripple on the beach.
As far as human eye can reach,
Morn's brightness, tints the sea.
Here and there the friendly sails
VI many Nations, WOO the gales
And Ocean perils brave:
From cline to cline, from lands to lands,
The industries of human hands,
Are borne upon the wave.
But, Lol a speck from ont the north
With fast-inereasing gloom comes forth,
The dreaded cloud-rings lower;
See, wind is roaring DER the deep,
And breakers rising huge and steep:
The Storm-King rules the hour.
The dazzled mind athirst for light,
Looks out towards the infinite
In reverential mood.
The Real fades in the SubIIme
And seeks beyond the clouds of time
The Spirit of the food.
Grandeur, beauty, here combine
To teach the mortal the Divine;
The Present, the to-Be.
The Soul imprisoned claims its own,
Though yanders through the dim un-know

SATURDAY. JANUARY u.
THE GARCIA-MARrINEz CASE.

The action of the house of representa-
tiyes Yesterday in settling the San Miguel
county contest in favor of the contestant,
Donaciano Garcia, viii require no de-
Tense to those who are familiar with the
facts in the case. The New MEXICAN has
examined the evidence on both sides
fully, and in spirit rs friendly to Mr..
Martinez, who is an ex client gentleman,
as to his successful republican opponent,
and is convinced that the house took the
only iustiGable course left open for it.
The evidence in the case was nearly
exactly that upon which the Prichard-
Veeder case was decided in the council,
and while there may have been some
technical objections to heiadmission and
consideration of portions ofthat evidence,
there were glaring facts and figures, which
could not be ignored, in favor of Mr..
Garcia, sufficient to clearly show his cleo
ton by the legal votes cast.
Mr.. Martinez majority on the face OF
the returns was Al. and the AZ illegal
votes which he received from Mora coun-
ty was sufficient to wipe this out and
place the majority on the other side. But
these are only very small portion of the
illegal and fraudulent votes cast for the
Democrats in San Miguel county, which
the two contests have brought to light.
In number of Precincts the err
rors and frauds shown by the
returns are so glOFing that it is
matter of wonder that any person Of
good sense would attemptto impose them
upon an intelligent community. In quite
number OF these the Democratic candi-
date is shown to have received many
more than the whole number of votes
cast for both candidates.
The house is bodybf equitable juris-
diction, and all the equities in the case
were clearly in favor )f the contestant.
The members, We believe, can confidently
20 back to their constituents upon the
record they have made in this case.

favor of the people. The act to settle
estates; the act permitting an innocent
person whose property has been attached
on process against third person to re-
plevin it from the officer; the act making
time in Jail count at so much per day in
extinguishment of fines, etc. ; the limited
partnership act, and the act preventing
the filing of the general issue to suits on
open accounts and notes, are all bills for
the benefit of the people. The Citizen is
glad to learn this, and believes that Mr..
Rodey will work for the benefit of the
territory, and for no particular class OF
persons.-Albuquer1ue Citizen.
Senator Rodey's bills so far are all in
the right direction and for the benefit OF
the people. He is hard working and
painstaking member and ismaking very
good record. His bill to fix the fees of JUS

eminently good one. Senator Rodey is
all right Let him 60 ahead.

The New MEXICAN is extremely glad to
be able to fully indorsc the views Of the
New York Press, the leading Republican
daily in the east, in regard to Senator
Henderson. The senator is we'll known
in New Mexico and is very friendly to the
territory. The Press says:
1t is rarely that such . compliment is
paid to any man as that which the Hon.
Charles F. Henderson, of Nebraska, re-
ceived few days ago from the Nebraska
legislature, when l0l of the 1903 Repub-
lican members announced their intention
of voting for him to succeed himself as
senator from that state. And yet it was
deserved. Senator Henderson has made
a splendid record as thorough going Re-
publican, and the state Of Nebraska had
become SO satiated with Van Wyck and
his antics that clean stit, earnest, fore
ible, patriotic senator. stch as Mr.. Man
derson has been, naturdly pleases the
people. Verify this is good year for the
Republican party.

benevolenCe be as good as is the moral
effect OF the common school system,
which is Immediately created and sup
ported by practically the whole people,
and thus produces in the people at large
the wholesome sense of self-help.
The state must educate, because many
people want the motive to educate A
problem that the state must deal with is
the intellectual and moral inertness of the
ignorant and bestial and, in low forms,
vicious class. In general, this class lacks
the internal motive to educate. In simple
self-defense, the state must apply to such
cases the stimulus of an external motive.
To prevent crime, which is as much its
function as to suppress crime, it must
prevent the needless production of crimi-
nails by forcibly dissipating that ignorance
which is the largest source of criminal
life. The father who will not give his
children at least an elementary education
infringes upon the fundamental rights of
those children which the state is bound
to guard.
And finally the state must educate, be-
cause only under state control can there
be an equable and equitable distribution
of the means and instruments of education
The poorest wards in our cities are as
well provided with buildings, instruments
and teachers as the richest wards.
The American common school has at
least two functions. The larger and prob
ably more important is the teaching func-
ton. 1t is the function of the common
school to teach reading, writing and arith-
metic. To these may be added natural
sciences, history, language, literature, the
primary principles of political economy
and civil government. Then it is the
function of the common school to teach
the elements of industry. Industrial
training, as to its elements at least, be-
longs logically to the scheme of education
which common school system properly
contcmplates. Our schools must produce
not only knowers but doors. The train
ing of the mind to think has its true cor
relative in training the mind to execute.
That this properly belonged to the function
of the common school will be per-
ceived more and more wildly rs
the industrial problem OF our time and
civilization discloses its ominous mag
nitude. It is the function Of the common
school to teach the element of morally.
In the nature OF the case, religion, as com
monty conceived, rightly is excluded from
the common school. Our definition of re-
ligion is, as yet, sorely defective. But
morality the principles of right conduct
in the various relations # life - belongs
in the sphere of that teaching school. 1t
is vital part OF common school education
to produce in the pupils the moral habits
Of obedience, order, cleanliness, courtesy,
truthfulness, honesty, self-control and
scripulous regard for the rights of others.
Certain studies, rs history and political
economy, cannot be pursued without invol-
wing very impressive instructions in NOR
atty.
