THE New York Herald, independent
Democratic in politics, comments as fol-.
lows on the first two weeks of Presidel. I
Harrison's administration
A week or two before Mr.. Harrison's
inauguration We expressed the hope that
having been duly elected to the office
by the people-he would be president.
1t is perhaps little early to speak, be.
cause he has been in Office only twelve
days, but we have been watching his
course with good deal of care and in.
terest, and so far, at any rate, We are glad
to see that the new president is actually
president.
Few men in that high ofiice--certainly
not Mr.. Cleveland, and scarcely his pre-
decessors since Lincoln--have been ex-
posed to 30 vigorous and determined an
attack, from all sides, as Mr.. Harrison.
whether it is because, as an exasperated
Republican recently said, he is "the head
| OF party most Of whom can read and
write" or whether four years in the mi
nority have made the Republicans fero-
ciously hungry--it remains true that the
| onset OF office seekers and their friends in
Washington has been uncommonly
| savage.
The country is greatly pleased that Mr..
Harrison has made what We may fairly
call gallant and effective resistance.
There were many in his own party who
dolorously prophesied that he would be
the tool of Mr.. Blaine, the obedient
servant OF the imperiJus senatorial set,
the prey of the great herd of office seek
ers, the victim OF faction leaders. But so
far he is none OF these things. Mr.. Har-
rison remains president, and we may as
we'll tell him that in this he has greatly
pleased the mass of his own party and
the people in general.
lie made his own cabinet-'a poor
thing, perhaps, but mine own" he is re.
ported to have good naturedly replied to
great Republican leader who wanted a
different kind Of cabinet altogether. He
has evidently made his own foreign ap-
pointments. He has--in spite of peril
nacious efforts to drive him from his pur-
pose and the promise Of his platform-ap.
pointed residents Of the territories to the
offices in them, instead OF giving these
places to parcel Of bankrupt politicians
from the east, rs his predecessor did. File
has made few excellent appointments
to fill the higher department places.
And OH Thursday he gave notice that
he would hear no more appeals for office
for the present.
So far, then, the president remains
president. Let him go on in the same
path. The people chose him to the office,
and not an irresponsible set OF party |
leaders. He, and he alone, is responsible |
to the whole country for the execution OF
his great Office. He is not there to crafty |
one party leaders animosities or TO re-
ward another ones favorites. He was
elected by the people to be president, and |
they are glad 10 see that he is president. |

GOOD NEWS TO SETTLERS.

GOOD NEWS III sETTLhhS'
We publish to-day, in another column,
an act Of the 50th congress, approved on
the 9TH day of March, 1889, the proyi-
sons OF which are of the greatest inn
portance to homesteaders wherever there
is any government land, and especially to
the people of New Mexico.
The act provides that whenever hereto
fore any settler has made q homestead
entry and has lost his homestead right
before final proof has been made for any
reason, say, abandonment or cancellation
by the department, that he is entitled to
exercise the homestead right again.
There are thousands of men to whom
this will be welcome and glad news.
Further, by the provisions OF this act all
private sales of public lands have ceased
and the price OF all lands within forfeited
land grants, that have heretofore been held
at $3.50 per acre is now reduced to $l.25
per acre. In New Mexico this provision
applies to the forfeited land grants OF the
Atlantic & Pacific railroad in eastern New
Mexico, in the counties of Santa Fe, San
| Miguel, Mora, Bernalillo and Valencia,
east of the Rio Graude, and the Southern
Pacific railroad in Dona Ana, Sierra and
Grant counties. This is extremely good
news to homesteaders, pre-emptors and
desert land entry men in those sections
who will now pay only minimum tees
and 81. 25 per acre, instead Of maximum
fees and $3.50 per acre, as heretofore.
One of the most beneficial features o.
the act is the following: Wherever anc
whenever heretofore settler has made {
bona fide homestead entry, has completed
the same, and has received patent fol
any less amount than l60 acres, he vii
be entitled to select sufficient amount o
land contiguous to the land contained il
the original homestead to make the quot'
OF full 100 acres, which amount ~
selected will be patented to him wthou
previous occupation or settlement there
OH. To be more full whenever and wher
ever settler has made homestead Ell
try, completed the same and received
patent for forty acres, he will be entitled
unde. this act to select I'D acres NOR
contiguous to his original entry, whicl
will be patented to him without previou
actual occupation and residence; SHOULD
the settler have received patent 10
eighty acres, he will be entitled to eight
acres more; should he have received
forty more. - 4
The act contains several other yer
liberal provisions to homesteaders an
settlers. The most important point, a
far as New Mexico is concerned, is tn
reduction in price from $3.50 per acre t,
$l.25 per acre within the limits of the for
feited railroad land grants within this ter
ritory.
1t will be remembered that the 2Stf
legislative assembly passed a memorial t.
congress, praying that such reduction bt
made. This no doubt had some effect ir
the matter. The provisions OF the act are
wholesome and in the right direction and
will stimulate immigration into New
Mexico.

TO BUY GOULD a HAT.

When Jay Gould's special train ar
rived at Omaha the other day Mr..
Gould's nephew, Reid Northrop. presi-
dent of the American Refrigerator Tran
sit company, was there to meet it. Mr..
Gould caught sight of his relative and
without getting his hat jumped from the
car to greet him. Quite crowd gath
cred about as the two rich presidents
chatted together, and the strong Ne
braska wind played merrily through the
elder gentleman's hair and whiskers.
Those on the outer edge of the gathering
did not know exactly what was attract
ing the crowd, and several remarks
about getting the police, fight, child
stolen or man killed passed around
Presently an old, near-sighted gentle
man came up, and peering over the
crowd from above his glasses, he benev-
olently remarked:
Here's a quarter to start the thing
No Use havin' a crowd like this dom
nothin' but talk an talk. Who'll give
another quarter toward gettin' the old
man a hat:''
When Mr.. Gould, Mr.. Northrop and
the crowd had finished their laugh, a
kind policeman took the confused old
gentleman off to corner and explained
that the man for whom he was raising
money to buy hat could purchase a
million head gears at $50 each and
hardly miss the money.

THE SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB.

The women are going to give Marsh
Murdoch another whiTl. The Social Sci
ence club will meet at Wichita, the 18th
and Sth of Observation-Disclosures Republic
can.
The Social Science club, as we under
stand it, is composed of body of intelli-
gent, earnest women whose sole aim and
object is, SO far as this organization is
concerned, to afford not only opportuni-
ties to women of expanding her social
relations but of developing the ways and
means of investing the more homely
and constant duties of life with more of
LIES poetry and music, so to speak, rem
dering the irksome things not only inter
estlng, but Il means to an end. There
is all the difference in the world, for in
instance, in the way women preside over
and direct their homes. and all the diff
ference in the world as to
their manner of devising and
disposing of its details, from
giving directions to the cook to the selec-
ton of the hour for reading the last
magazine or making social call. As
have no use tor the breeches except as
they are found comfortable expedient
for the protection of the limbs of the
male portion of the household and to
hand out occasionally to mild-eyed
tramps; that they are not longing for
public life nor aspiring to play the role
of a military or of civil commanders. In
short our belief is that the great ma ority
of the members of the Social Science
club are like the members of Wichita's
Hypatia, a band of sweet womanly
women, as bright intellectually as any
like number of men that could be gotten
together In the state of Kansas, and
withal, more noble, pure, truthful and
disinterested, than any average lot of such
men. Our idea is that they compose a
body whose members consider them
selves and womankind generally, to be
just as good as their male kind, and in
many directions good deal better, with
the one central thought coloring all their
productions, and that thought intelli-
gence, happiness and home. A woman,
in fact, who does not thoroughly realize
that she is more refined being than
a man, and who does not believe that
womankind are more susceptible of
purer and better exaltations than their
male kind, we have very little use for as
a social factor. They may do as a run
ming mate to man in the race of life and
in the scramble for sustenance, from a
standpoint of mere existence, but she
fails as ministering angel when the
trial hour comes to those to whom she
has given life. A woman may possess all
that comprehends the universe yet I'M
less she is of the tenderness that can be
moved by pity, smiles and tears her
shrine is not worth worshipping at The
social science woman is she who leads
by precept, the female suffragist she who
would drive and failing of the whip
simply rants, as We understand the
difference. And, therefore, the sugges-
ton that the EAGLE is to get another
''whirl" we don't believe to be we'll
founded.

TALKS ON THE TARIFF.
a London Journals Practical Answer
to Mr. Huntington Smith

Mr.. Huntington Smith recently pub
lished in the Popular Science Monthly an
article on 1.-The Ethics Of Protection" in
which he claimed that high duties, in
addition to enhancing prices, tended to
prevent the perfection OF the quality of
manufactured articles by competition.
1t will be interesting to zee what the
London Morning Post says to just the
contrary effect:
"As matter of fact, what do we find
in America: Why, their manufacturers
can actually beat us out of the field on
the score of mere cheapness only.
So far from protection enhancing
the cost of their goods. they can
turn them out at rates which we,
with all our free trade. cannot.
The Yale lockmakers can afford 10 pay
the carriage of their goods TO England
and vet undersell the Wolverhampton
masters in the very heart OF the lock
trade, Just as the Belgians can quote
lower rates for angle iron delivered IN
Derby than the local ironmasters of the
Midlands. The Philadelphia engine
makers can turn out as servieeable a To-
connective as any English firm and ship it
all the way TO New Zealand for 600 less
than the English tenders. In south
Russia the agricultural implement trade
is said to be passing entirely into the
hands Of American exporters Ii spite OF
English and German competitors, though
the latter are nearer by 1900 miles to
the local market With the exception
Of made up clothing, which is dear be-
cause labor is highly paid, and not be-
cause the duty on stuffs is so heavy.

cultural implements TO cutlery and
