RAID transit inventors are getting in
their work with capitalists all over the
country lust now if newspaper reports
are correct. Following upon the heels OF
the announcement that Chicago has or
ganized corporation with $2o,OO0,O0O to
build real practical air ships, comes news
that prominent moneyed men are back
of Prof. VIM. Marks who claims to be
able to construct road that can be
operated between New York and Phila-
delphia, ninety miles, in thirty-six min
utes. There is no doubt but that perfect
wonders in the line of rapid transit will
be worked out by American genius in the
next decade.

Az THINLY populated as western Colo
RADIO is supposed to be, there is remark
able contest going on now between rail-
roads for that territory and the country
lying thence west to Salt Lake. Either
that or the country will ere long learn OF
q western railway combination that will
include all the Gould and Santa Fe inter
ests as we'll as those of the D. Il R. g.
and D. & R. &. Western. On yesterday
George Coppell, the real manager of the
D. & R. G., arrived IN New York from
London and there went into conference
with number of western railway mag
mates, Including President Moffatt, OF the
D. Il R. G. 1t is claimed by some that
the latter company has out-stripped the
Santa Fe and secured an option on Gen.
Dodge's Rio Grande Western. Some
rather important news may be looked
for on this subject at an early day.

means shall be produced by taxation for
their support for period of not less than
six months III the year, and we further
favor the comforting upon the voters OF
each school district the right to impose
additional taxes for such district for such
purposes, and we urge the election OF

ground that party bases it's chief objection

MR.. JOsEPH's COURSE ON THE LAND
COURT RIII,

Our friend, Antonio Joseph, who is a
candidate for re election to congress, and
who is running upon an anti-land grant
platform, has not yet explained, how it
came about, that he secretly and under
handedly worked against the passage Of
the bill for the settlement of Spanish and
Mexican land grants in New Mexico dur
ing the past session of congress; he has
not yet explained why he induced the
Democratic senators from Alabama and
Texas to oppose the passage OF the bill in
question, a bill, that if passed, would
have been of great benefit to New Mexico
and one that would greatly aided her ad-
vancement in every direction. AS Mr..
Joseph will not speak, some one else
must speak for him. The bill in question
contains a proviso, limiting all grants to
eleven leagues in area, and as Mr. Joseph
is largely interested in two land grants in
Taos and Rio Arriba counties, namely
the Cineguilla and the Ojo Caliente,
which he and associates, according to the
records in the Office of the surveyor general,
claim for about hundred thousand acres
each (Which is great deal more than
eleven leagues each) of course the bill in
question if passed, would have cut down
the land grant claims of Antonio Joseph
ct al. just about two-thirds. AS it was
not good policy for Mr.. Joseph to openly
oppose the BILL he induced few ex-con'
federate senators, who hate New Mexico
and her people anyway, to oppose the
bill. The latter has gone over, and it is
feared by its friends that there will not
be time at the short session for its con-
sideration and passage, and that there
fore the chances are against its becoming
law.
IT will be we'll and ior the best interests
vi III Lie PuoPiu ----- r-.-~,.,, sr.,..,.
Mr.. Joseph not be returned to congress
and should NJ. S. Otero, who has pledged
himself to work in every honorable way
for the passage of bill for the settlement
OF land titles in New Mexico, be elected
to represent New Mexico in the sgd con.
greSS.

WRITING over his own signature on the
Mckinley bill and is effects, Russell
Sage uses these words: "Within my own
experience iron sold at sos ton, and it
was of poor quality at that. 1t has since
been reduced to $25. In accomplishing
the reduction which have named, this
country employed its own labor and kept
its gold at home instead of sending it
away to pay labor Of other countries.
The future of this country is one OF con-
but these will be beneficial. When spec.
ulation goes beyond the bounds of healthy
enterprise, a striAgency in the money
market has a wholesome effect. 1t re-
strains rash undertakings, and keeps val.
ues within the proper limits. Our gov
eminent is strong, and commands the
confidence of the people to greater ex-
tent than at any previous time in its

THE nominee for superintendent of
schools on the Republican ticket, Bro.
Butolph, has been engaged in educational
work in Santa Fe for many years. He is
we'll known as successful teacher and
as an experienced man in school mat
tiers. Under his supervision, and we
think he will be elected, school matters
and school funds will be honestly and
inteligently administered. He should
poll the entire strength of the party and
should receive the votes of all good citi-
zens, who desire school funds properly
and honestly managed.

THERE has been a sharp decline in cat

THERE has been sharp decline in cat
tie markets of late, caused chiefly by un-
usual heavy receipts and the apparent
endeavor OF owners with nalf-fatted stock
cleaning it out of the way before winter
comes on. Common COWS are very low,
selling on the Kansas City market at rs
cents to $l.25 while whole strings OF
old cows may be had at 81 per
hundred pounds weight. Thus far October
arrivals of sheep at Kansas City are 49,
900 ahead of what they were last year
and prices are weak. This allusion to
the condition of the market is made for
the purpose of showing New Mexico
stockmen that they had best strain q
point and hold OH to their stock at pres
ent figures. Their range grass ought to
be abundant with the seasonable rains
they have enjoyed all through the pres
ent year and there seems scarcely doubt
but that the early spring will bring anoth-
er influx of outside buyers into New Mex

DURING three and halt years of the
Ross Doodle administration of the terri
torial penitentiary there was received
from the labor of convicts and the feeding
of United States prisoners the sum Of
$500. During the first twelve months
of the present Republican administration
from March 4 1889, to March 4 1890,
there being about the same number Of
prisoners in the institution year per year,
from 1885 to 1s90) there was received the
amount OF $4,000, from the same source.
Facts are facts and these facts mean that
The present administration of the terri
torial prison is honest and economical
and efficient. and that the Democratic
administration under ex-Gov. Ross was
extravagant and inefficient.

JUAN sANTIsTEVAN,

Hon, Juan Santisteyan, who has been
nominated as candidate for the legsla-
tive council by the Republicans of Taos
county, is a citizen Of sterling worth and
ability. He is banker and merchant
and we'll known throughout the territory
as very honorable and straight man.
He has held several offices of trust and
honor and in every position, in which he
has been placed, he has acquitted him
self with great credit and with benefit to
the people. He has been probate judge
OF his county and member of the legis-
lature and is well acquainted with public
affairs. He will make a first class coun'
Gilman, ii elected, and will guard the in
terests of his constituents and of the peo-
Pile faithfully and honestly.
The indications are that he will be
elected by handsome majority and that
is about the best thing the people of Taos
county can do, if they would have the
proper and right kind Of man to repre-
sent them in the council of the 29th legis
latiye assent ly.

JOSEPH B. MAYO, one OF the candidates
upon the Republican ticket for the legis'
lature, is the superintendent of the Col
den Hydraulic company in the southern
party OF this county. He is an excellent
business man, man OF honor and in
tegrity, an educated man and closely
identified with the mining and business
interests of this county. He should be
elected by large majority, and then and
in that case, this county will have an ex-
perienced and intelligent representative
in the lower house of the Goth legislative
assembly.

NO USE MINCING MATTERS.

A vote for the Democratic ticket in
Santa Fe county means the perpetuation
OF dishonesty and corruption in the fl
nancal affairs of this county; vote for
the Democratic county ticket here means
no influence and no standing in the COM
ing sessions of the legislature; vote for
the Democratic county ticket In this coun-
ty means no public schools, no law and
order, no influx of capital, no investors
and no investment in real estate here,
higher taxes and general depression of
business. The New MEXICAN does not
propose to mince matters, and will call a
spade spade. 1t rests with the citizens,
property owners and business men
of this city and county to make an effort
to put this county in its finances, in its

DURING the Democratic administration
from 1886 to 1889, the expenses OF the
territorial prison amounted to $52 900 per
annum. During the first year under a
Republican regime. from March 4, 1889,
to March 4, 1890, the expenses, with the
same number of prisoners, were 500 900.
1t is plain to any person who can read
and understand that the management
under the Democratic administration was
dishonest, and the management under a
Republican administration is honest.
That is all.

Some OF tho Wonderful Features OF tho

Some OF tho Wonderful Features OF the
Famous Mohogln Rock.
During tho past summer and fall Prof.
Henry Beals, q fellow of the Royal
Society Of London, has been visiting tho
New England coast, making study of
| the erratlc boulders SO common through
out that and other sections Of tho United
! States. His special search has been for
rocking stones," but a very few of
which arc known to exist, that is, COM
paratively speaking. During his tray
els tho aid rendered by local biologists
and scientific societies was greatly ap-
prcciated by the English scientist
All biologists, whether of local, State
or National reputation, worked in con-
junction with the professor, seeking to
establish beyond doubt the theory
that these great rocks and curiously-
balanced stones, which in many in
stances weigh hundreds Of tons, were
carried on floating icebcrgs during that
mythical ora known to biologists as 1.-THE
glacial period"
or tho rocking stones" Beal discov-
cred but ono new example in addition to
those already known. This was at
Noank, Conn, on tho farm of Caleb
Haley, New York fish dealer. This
rocking wonder is estimated by the dis
coVerer to weigh twenty-five tons, and
has rocking scope of only six inches,
allowing it to be readily moved by the
muscular cxertions Of one arm and hand.
Only ono other rocking stone" is known
in Now England, that at Lanesboro,
Mass. Mr.. Boal took photograph of
Mohegan rock, also known as Shehegan,
in the town of Montville. The name,
Mohegan rock, was applied by the early
settlers, because it was used by the
Indian tribe of that name as fortress
and as watch-tower and sentinel rock.
Late writer's describe it as being the
largest specimen Of the cratic boulder
rought down by the ice flow, now
known to exist in this or any other
country. 1t is forty-fve feet high and
seventy feet long, and is calculated by
scientists to weigh at least ten thousand
tons; it is wonderful to think Of the i'm
mcnse size of an ice flow which was
able to move under this enormous load.
1t is evidenced by the large flakes Of
stone that have been clipped from its
sides by the insinuating frosts, that it
must have laid in its present position
for thousands of years.-St Louis Re-
public.

PREMATURE BURIAL:
The Awful Possibility Made Evident by q
Personal Experience.

The Awful Possibility Made Evident by o
Personal Experience.
In view Of the many strange nervous,
cataleptic and kindred conditions which
ere 30 common nowadays it is not I'M
reasonable to call attention to the pos
sibilities, which would seem occasional
ly to occur, of premature burial.
A narrow escape of this was recently
communicated direct to the writer.
The lady was Che wife of the medical
officer attached to the til regiment;
she was stationed at - Island, where
at the age of twenty-eight she was safe
ly confined. Shortly after this she was
walking out with an attendant whom she
was taken suddenly i'll with q painful
spasm of the heGrt-what appears to
huve been an attack of angina pectoris-
and was conveyed indoors and propped
up with pillows, suffering great pain,
and although medical attendance was
summoned, nothing was of avail, and
She dicd-at least in the opinion of those
around her. 1t was the custom there to
bury at shutdown any one who died dur
ing the day.
She would never have lived to tell the
story but for On accident, which hap
pened in this way: Hor nurse, who was
much attached to her, was stroking her
face and the muscles Of her jaw, and
presently declared she heard sound Of
breathing. Medical assistance was sum-
rnoned and the mirror test applied, but
the surface was undimmCd. Then, to
make sure, they opened q vcin in each
arm, but no blood flowed. No limb re-
spondcd to stimulus, and they declared
that the nurse was mistaken, and that
the lady was dead beyond doubt
But the nurse persisted in her belief
and in her attentions, and did succeed
in establishing q sign of life. Then
mustard applications to her feet and to
tho back of her mock, and burnt feath-
ers applied to her nostrils, which she
remembers burning her nose, completed
hor return to consciousness. -Tocsin.

NOT QUITE ALL.

Strange rs it may appear, 80 far as
heard from, every Democratic paper
in Nevada opposes Speaker Reeds
way OF counting quorum, but it is
hoped their opposition will not have
the effect Of inducing him to again
hand over the management Of the
House of Representatives to the mi
nority.- Reno Gazette.
Evidently tho Gazette failed to re-
oeive tho INDEPENDENT OF Thursday,
Fob. 9th, otherwise there would have
boon ono exception in the above
sweeping charge. We arc aware that
tho INDEPENDENT is in q minority on
the proposition, so far as tho Demo
cratic pross Of the State is concerned,
but unlike majority Of tho papers
OF both political parties wo nre not 80
bound by party tics as to indorss
everything done by party leaders in
opposition to our own convictions of
right.
While wo condemn many Of tho acts

OF tho Republican majority in the

on the quorum question alone wore
