Baird sat down on the small box and
looked at the writing on the open sheet.
He held the newspaper in his hand, but
had not vet examined it. A transient flush
passed over the prisoners pale face as he
saw his unfinished letter being read; but
lie said nothing. Having completed the
reading, Baird looked at the name and
date of the paper, but at the first sight of
its columns he uttered loud exclamation.
What's the matter, Wally?" several OF
the men exclaimed.

The prisoner looked from one to anoth-
or of the rude faces around him, now dis
torted with anger, and bent menacingly
upon him. An intimation of the truth, a
suspicion of his own danger, was borne in
upon his mind.
Il read that account, he said, "and

Wallace Baird looked up from the paper.

An undergraduate of Oxford Univer-

lie had exhausted the chapels and the
clustered shades, he brought them into
a quadrangle of his own college.

AS the young man spoke he picked
up pebble from the path and sent 1t

The Rio Grande Republican wants
John R. DeMIer, OF Las Cruces, appoint
ell warden Of the penilentiary. We have
an idea that Gov. Prince has made up his
mind on that subject, and that Mr.. De-
Mier is not the man.-Las Vegas Optic.
The governor has absolutely nothing to
do with the appointment. The Loard OF
penitentiary commissioners consists OF
the auditor, the treasurer and the solicitor
general. The superintendent is appoint
ed by them. They are not responsible
for their actions to the governor or any
other official, but they are to the people.
The candidates whose names are being
considered are as follows: D. B. Abra-
hams, of San Pedro; Z. W. Wynkoop, of
Santa Fe; John Il. DeMier, of Las Cruces,
and a. j. Lairl, of Deming. A. B. Clark,
from Las Vegas, is also candidate, and
II. I. swope, at present guard at the
penitentiary, is being pushed by one or
two men here. The appointment OF q
superintendent will be made shortly, we
understand. We believe the board will
appoint a satisfactory and capable man
and good, straight Republican.

Of special interest to printers and news
paper Offices in the smaller towns in the
country was discussed, namely the one Of
the furnishing OF printed envelopes to
business men by the postollice depart
ment. 1t was urged that the postotiice
department, in its enormous business, can
do the work and furnish envelopes and
stationery cheaper than local dealers and
printing establishments. Ofcourse it can,
but on the same idea the government
might just as well undertake any other
kind Of business and furnish everything
else cheaper. The system should be
changed. Let the government furnish
postage stamps and stamped envelopes
and let it keep out Of the business olprint-
ing. There should be as little invasion as
possible OF the business activity Of the
citizen. A united effort on the part OF the
printers and newspaper offices throughout
the country might bring about the repeal
Of the law authorizing the postofice de.
partment to do lot OF printing that it has

IT is generally conceded that bossism

ARID LANDS,

Major Powell Of the United States geo.
logical survey says that in the great west
there are loo, 900, 900 acres Of land, now arid
and wholly valueless, which can be made
productive by irrigation. This was said
in response to questions put to him by
the arid lands committee Of the senate
and it is understood that the committee
will report the ACCESSIBILITY Of congress
sional appropriations for surveys in aric
districts.
This is, Of course, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, the first step toward the
reclamation of the arid lands; but it is
interesting to take step further and te
see what the result OF the statement
made by Major Powell may be, when the
United States has perfected and put into
operation q comprehensive system OF ir'
rigation.

COLORADO is moving to test the consti-

which have deprived silver OF its standing
in the minis. This is excellent and may
result in much good. Gold and silver
we're equally recognized by the constitu-
ton, and when the states, in surrendering
the right to coin money, also obligated
themselves to pay their debts only in golC
and silver coin, they no doubt believed
that they never would be confined by {
federal statute to the use of one meta
only, as they have to all intents and pur'
poses been by the laws which have pre-
vented free coinage OF silver. The south
west, and specially this territory, is greatly
interested in the matter, and it is to be
hoped that Colorado will push the cases

THE people OF Australia seem to be in

IHE people oil Australia seem TO be In
clined to possess their vast country them

United States, laws have been passed for
the prevention Of pauper immigration.
These are especially intended to antago.
nize the policy OF the English government,
which has for many years aided impover.
ished families in seeking homes in those
distant colonies. The feeling Of self
interest which prompts Australians to
such action does not argue very strongly
for the permanence OF British connec.

colonies should he effected, as has been
proposed, it would take but one step fur.
