to understand, with unimpeachable
moral records, who come to find an
actual relish in that vicarious degreda-
ton, and who draw lingering breaths of
ineffable pleasure in the vitiated atmos-
phere of the police cells and the jails.
In rare cases, like Nj. Lecoq in GabOr-
iau's Crime d'Orcival," they even give
a loose rein to their perverse imagina-
tions, and revel in the clever e5croquer-
les they might have committed had the
chances of their lives offered favorable
opportunities. But cases OF this KIND
are altogether exceptional 1t rs as
serted, and we daresay with some truth,
that novels like Ainsworth Jack Shep-
pard," and illustrated sheets like the
Police Neacs, have largely recruited the
ranks of the thieves and the burglars
There the seed had fallen in kindly soil
prepared by circumstances and heredi-
tary depravity. The mass Of amateurs
of the horrible in the upper or middle
classes are more prosaically minded or
less romantcaIly disposed. At all
events, they seldom dream of translat-
ing thought into action, and taking the
short but dangerous cuts to their crimes
which come SO naturally to their favor
lite heroes and heroines. They are con-
tent to admire, to cape, and to swallow;
to shrink delightfully."- at the rustic of
the stealthy prisoners night dress, and
to shudder at the heavy thud of the
hired ruffians bludgeon as it lights upon
some respectable head. Criminal fiction
does little direct harm, in the sense of
shortening inconvenient lives or tamper-
ing with important deeds. But it steadily
demoralizes the palate for anything
milder and more delicately favored;
the habitual dram drinker will have his
stimulants stronger and stronger, and
YOU can not expect him to turn with
satisfaction from spirits above proof,
fresh from the distillery, to the choicest
of Schloss Johannisberg or Chateau
Youem. Sensational stories, in moder-
ately priced single volumes, are the
fashion now, and, without satirical IN
tention, we say the shortness is in their
favor. Some are as good as Mr.. Steven
sons Treasure Island" or "Kidnapped;
others are comic and CORY burlesques of
the better kind of criminal eXtravagan-
zas Considering the difficulty of hitting
upon any fancies that are decenty fresh,
we are bound to say that not few of
them show credtable dexterity and
ingenuity. But surely this sensational
business must soon come to an end, or be
suspended for half a generation or so.
The public is getting familiarized with
all manner of mysteries, in cabs, in
black boxes, in garrets, and in cellars;
the detectives have been tolled off for
such intolerably hard duty that it IS
clear they must soon strike IN disgust,
and refuse to lend themselves to those
stale combinations; and the pirates, high
waymen, and bushrangers who have
been Unfortunately resuscitated will
find temporary rest again in their dis
honored graves The novel reading
public revels in excitement. and Is not
over critical; but of sensation, when it
has degenerated into melodrama and
burlesque, there must surely come safety
at least Blackwood's Magazine.

THE FOUR SEASONS.


SPRING.
The farmer to the city HES,
And from his much-depleted hoard
Picks out meagre wad of bills
Topay Tor lads" of Country Board.
SUMMER.
The city man jumps at the lure;
For quiet rural scenes he yearns.
Of tan and freckles, dust and heat,
And various insects much he learns.
AUTUMN.
Now comes the day for settling up,
And many pocketbooks are light;
That one which late IVES lean may now
Look round, and prosperous, and tight.
WINTER.
The farmer in his corn r sits,
And rests itself, with much good cheer.
The others through hard weather toll,
So they may come as Tin Next Year.

HONEST COURTS AGAIN,

A genuine feeling Of relief exists and
great satisfaction is expressed by leading
citizens and lawyers at the advent OF
Chief Justice O'Brien. People feel in
stinctively that the reign of corruption,
dishonesty and persecution that has char
acterlzed the administration OF the courts
under the Democratic rule has now ceased
to exist and breathe freer. They need no
longer be afraid OF packed grand and petit
juries, dishonest court officials and partisan
and corrupt judges. However, right here
it is meet and proper to say that Judge
X. A. Reeves, of this district, was all
honest and good judge. In fact, he was
too honest man and could not stand the
surroundings, and therefore resigned after
a little over year g service. OF the other
judges sent here by Grover Cleveland
there will be plenty of chance to speak
anon, and the New MEXICAN will do the
talking about them and their official acts
SO that it will impress the people of New
Mexico fully and seriously.

BRIGHT TIMES AHEAD,

A Jolly old time did the citizens of the
new state of Wyoming, that 10 to be, have
9t Cheyenne on Thursday after the receipt
OF the news of the passage by the house of
the admission bill OF that territory. The
News special from that city states that
realty values advanced % per cent on re-
| ceipt of the news, and there is a general
feeling OF bright times ahead. There is no
doubt but that the dignity of statehood will
add greatly to the material and general
welfare OF our northern sister, and again
we doff our hat and shout in unison with
her people, Long live the state OF Wyo-
ming denver News.
Yes, and in the near future 1t will be,
Long live the state of New Mexico"
And then what happened in Wyoming
will happen in New Mexico. Property
will increase in value, and capital and en-
terprsing immigrants will come into the
territory as soon as it shakes off the child
hood condition of territory and becomes
self-governing state. The constitution
prepared by New Mexico is better than
the one presented by Wyoming; New
Mexico has larger population and more
taxable property and many more and
varied natural resources than Wyoming.
The admission of Wyoming must of
necessity be simply forerunner to that
OF New Mexico. Again, We congratulate
our more fortunate northern sister and
bespeak her aid in New Mexico's effort
to become state. The matter OF the ad-
mission of this territory is in good shape,
and all it needs is energetic aud united
action on the part of our citizens. This
action should he had, and we think from
all appearances will be had. Let it be
had.

CONCERNING the action of the house
committee regarding the admission OF
New Mexico, the Washington Star of re-
cent date says as follows:
The house committee on territories to-
day decided to postpone the consldera-
ton OF bills for the admission OF New
Mexico and Arizona as states, and TO ap-
point subcommittee of five to examine
the constitution of New Mexico and to re-
port to the whole committee upon the
question OF the admission of the two ter
xitories. The Democrats regard this &c
ton as an indefinite postponement OF the
admission OF these territories Inc Re
publicans say, on the cont sry, that the
chances OF New Mexico securing state
hood are greatly increased. Arizona,
they say, will probably have to present
. constitution for the consideration OF
congress before her case will be acted
upon.
Our advices from Washington are that
the reference to the subcommittee is 10
New Mexico's favor, and that q bill will
be prepared and submitted, containing an
enabling act and for the adoption of the
constitution framed last September. With
the proper effort on New Mexico's part,
such action will be had soon. That every.
thing looks very favorable for New Mex
ico's admission before the presidential
s1scsioa il certain.

THE NEW MEXICAN gladly and fully in
dorses the following from the Albuquerque
Citizen, Judge Whitemau's home paper :;
VIM. H. Whiteman is the victim of
malignant enemies and untoward circum-
stances. 1t appears to be certain that
he will not he confirmed as Judge OF the
lat judicial district. In that event he
will return to this city, and among his
old friends and neighbors, who know
him well and honor and respect him for
his many good qualities OF head and
heart, he will resume the practice Of the
law. His rejection may be blessing in
disguise. He is needed here as Il citizen,
and surrounded by his family and friends
will prove to the world that a good man
can not be disgraced by the buhetings OF
jealous enemies and the trowns OF poEt-
ical fortune.

A STRONG petition for Judge White
mans confirmation was forwarded from
Las Cruces to Washington last week.
The petition was signed, as We are in.
formed, by every member OF the 81 district
bar present at Las Cruces. A similar
petition was forwarded from Santa Fe
some ten days ago. 1t must be gratifying
to Judge Whitem an, no matter what the
outcome OF his case, or the abuse and
SANDERS heaped upon him by Democratic
papers, that he has the good will and
esteem OF the larger portion of his brother
members of the bar of New Mexico.

A COMMISSION will probably be named
by the president to confer with the Mex
leo authorities as to international water
rights, SO far as the Rio Grande is con-
cerned, and in relation also TO the con-
struction to the so-called Mills dam" at
Ell Paso. This is all right, but the &C.
companying announcement from Wash
ington that the irrigation subject will
probably be left IN the hands OF the geo.

policy is adopted, God help the arid land
settlers OF the west.

1t looks as if Col. J. Frank Chavez

nomination for councilman from Santa Fe
county.
The Democratic nominees on the Albu.
querque city ticket, many of them, re-
signed in body, refusing to be either
'called or chosen" Queer.
Gov. C. H. Moore has been appointed
postmaster at Puerto de Luna, vice l.. p.
Tracy, resigned; and j. NJ. Romero, at
Penasco, Taos county, vice Sanchez, re-

Hon. A. Staab, Judge s. B. Axtell and
Hon. E. S. Slower are among those whose
names are mentioned in connection with
the filling OF the vacancy in the chair
manshlp of the Republican territorial
committee.
The appointment of 10 E. Sheridan as
county commissioner, to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation OF Thos. Cobb,
gives universal satisfaction. Mr.. Sheri-
dan possesses excellent financial ability
and being one of the heaviest tax payers,
the county's interest will be his, and his
administration in connection with Messrs
Carpenter and Bragaw can not but be ad.
vantageous to the county at large.-En-
terprlse. Yes; with the Republicans in
a majority on that board things will move

NEW YORK, April Is. - Merchants

house of H. B. Clafin & Co. is about to
dissolve and reorganize again as great
stock company. According to the second
clause of the will of H. B. Claflin, who died
in 1885, the bulk of the estate was to remain
in the business only during the :life OF his
son John, or for period of five years if
John survived, in which case the business
would be wound up and the capital with
drawn and divided among the residuary
legatees. The end of the five years
is rapidly approaching; John Cafiin
survives, and the firm is to become stock
company under the name of the Il. B.
Clatlin Company. with capitalization of
S10,000,000. OF this large controlling in
terest will be taken by the partners, John
Clafiin, Edward E. Eames and Daniel

will be opened for subscription to the
employees of the house. The annual busi-
ness done by the firm has always been a
matter of surmise. 1t is claimed that it
