An Ideal Home.

My idea of good housekeeping is
where a woman keeps her home sweet
and orderly; provides simple, we'll
cooked food; makes her home so rest
full and cheerful that all who come into
it shall be better for breathing the at
mosphere of kindness and cheerfuness
that pervades the place; and where the
household machinery always runs
smoothly because of the constant
thoughtfulness of the mistress of the
house. A place like this is truly a
home, and the woman who makes such
Il home deserves the respect aud ad-
miration of everybody. | have seen
such homes among the rich and among
the poor for neither wealth nor power
ty prevents the right person from fill
ing with the atmosphere of comfort
and happiness the house of which she
Is the mistress. - Good H0USekeepinQ.

In view of the fact that candidates
are to be nominated next fall for the
house of representative and the
senate, and that many Of those who
were members of the last house will
be candidates for re e-election, it be
hooves the voters of all shades of
political opinion to awaken to the fact
that the only question at issue should
be ballot reform. Many of those who
voted against the measure are now
outspoken in their advocacy of it, but
let not too much credence be placed
in what they say. A man who will
betray his friends once should be kept
from doing so second time. The
Phila. Press of the Goth inst. has the
following on the movement for bal
lot reform in this state.
The movement for a reform ballot is
unrestful and aggressive 1t does not
limit its time or sphere of action but has
all seasons for its own and treats all men
as possible converts. Many Democrats
have taken it up but its strongest support
lies in the Republican ranks Though
the last legislature of Pennsylvania did
not wake up to the value or necessity of
the reform or realize the popular
strength that lies back of it, several
things have happened since its adjourn
ment which are calculated to present
the subject in new light to many legis
lators. The ballot reform bill will come
before the legislature of 1891 under fan
more favorable auspices than attended
its stranded predecessor in the legislature
of 1899.
1t will be remembered that the bal
lot bill introduced at the last session
of the house of representative a
Harrisburg was introduced as Demo
cratic measure, and we fail to see why
it could not be passed then by the
very people who are now clamorin9
for a chance to be sent back again to
introduce it. The workingmen of
Pennsylvania want the Australian
ballot system pure and simple-noth-
ing else will satisfy them-and any
man, be he either Democrat or Re
publican, coming before them for
their suffrage as representative to
the assembly should be compelled to
pledge himself to vote for such u
measure, otherwise let him be rele-
gated to the rear.

The Young King Of Servia.

King Alexander of Servia, says a
London Times writer, is not yet IL
years old; but he is precociously de-
veloped and looks as English boys do
at 10 or 16. 1t seems but II short while
ago that he was being photographed
in a sailors dress and knickerbockers;
but now, in his colonial uniform, he
stands as tall as the three Regents,
and has acquired good deal of self
possession. lie has bright features,
but not an intellectual face. His fore
head is low, and little of it would be
seen if he did not wear his hair close
cropped. He has large, soft eyes and
a quick, pleasing smile; hut IL physiog-
nomist would say that the mouth and
nose slowed indrciSlon of character.

One Thing He Wouldn't Do.

81 read in your paper last Sunday
what some prominent men claimed
they'd do if they were women" re-
ticed that one of them said that he de-
spised a feminine man or masculine
woman. l agree with the gentleman
most heartily. Now, if there's one
thing that | thoroughly dislike-and
it's becoming more and more popular
every day-it is to see girl or woman
riding bicycle. 1t certainly may be
good exercise, but it doesn't add to
their grace, can tell you. If these
women could be men and see other wo-
men riding bicycles they'd see how dis
tasteful to men it was and they would
MT do it for style or money."-Butalo

The elevation to the Speakership does
not relieve the incumbent from the com
mon misfortunes of life. While the
committee on rules were discussing some
matters the other day Speaker Reed had
his hat stolen. AS the Speaker has q
very large head he could find nothing
around the building that would fit him.
When he left for the Shoreham he had
on his head a Derby three sizes too small
for him, and presented the appearance
of Harry Watson in German comedy.
The Speaker did not lingcr anywhere on
his way home. As Silcott is not now
about the capitol the thief has not been
located, but the theft serves to show
that stealing can occur in a Republican
as well as a Democratic IIosue. r.

THE ATTEMPT TO BLACKMAIL PENITBN
TIARY EMPLOYEES.

As the Reporter expected, the penten-
tiary scandal is all wind and WAS gotten
up for no other purpose than to distract
public attention from the great saving
made by the Republican administration
ofthat institution. San Marcial Reporter
The whole thing was an attempt to ex-
tort blackmail from some of the peniten-
tiary officials. OF course the scheme was
bound to come to naught. The attempt
at blackmail will be fully investigated by
the coming grand jury and shown up i'll
its true colors. In the mean time the
board OF penitentiary commissioners, con-
sisting OF Auditor Alarid, Solicitor General
Bartlett and Treasurer Salazar, goes on
quietly and energetically, sees to it that
the provisions of the law and the rules
governing the prison are faithfully carried
into effect, and provides an honest, fair,
humane and economical administration
for the institution. 1t is well at this time
to again remind the people Of New
Mexico that during the Democratic
Ross Doodle administration from 1885 to
80 the annual expenses OF the institution
amounted to about $4,000, whereas IN
der the regime of the present board dur,
ing the first year of the present Republi-
can administration, the entire expenses
of the prison foot up $4,000 And that
with just about the same number Of pris-
oners. That the people were robbed out
of about $4,000 per year steadily and
with malice aforethought under the Ross
Doodle administration in this one item
alone, is as patent as the nose on a mans
face, The attack on the penitentiary
was an attempt at blackmail,
no more and no less, but was clumsiy
conceived and foolishly executed and of
course fell of its own weight.

lr will be remembered that the Demo-
cratic board Of county commissioners Of
this county between two days issued
about $50 900 worth OF court house bonds,
a few months ago, This proceeding,
however, does not by any means make
the bonds then and there issued legal or
valid, If the warrants upon which the
bonds in question were issued between
the hours of o'clock in the afternoon
and 5 O'Clock in the morning (by the way

sleeping from 10 in the evening to i'll

debt for which such warrants were is
sued was not contracted in accordance
with law and honesty, OF course the
bonds in question are not good. Now it
is the opinion OF great many tax payers
Of this county that the debt originally
alleged to have been contracted is illegal ;
that the warrants Issued are illegal and
invalid, and that of course the bonds
issued in lieu thereof are illegal and in
valid. 1t is plain that no taxes for inter

their validity is fully established. Do
not be in any hurry, Messrs. Tax payers

A state ticket and victory is the motto

THE NEW MExICAN's EFFECTIVE WORK.
That sterling Republican paper, the
Santa Fe NEW MEXICAN, is putting in
some good work for the party in our sister
territory. Not only that, but it is doing
effective service in advertising the advan-
tages of New Mexico. 1t deserves the
hearty support of every reader in the ter
ritory, and particularly every Republican.

THE Natl RE OF THE BEASTS.
When New Mexico's delegation were
in Washington the Democratic press of
this territory had very little to say of it,
and about nothing in its favor. Since
the delegation have come back, there has
been the continual howl to belittle the
work it did while ere.--Socorro Chief
toin.
THE NEW MEXICAN's GOOD WORK on THE
STANTON MAIL ROUTE.
The Santa Fe New MEXICAN, from
which we clip the above, deserves the
thanks of our people who are not only as
a unit in opposition to the proposed
change, but would consider its consum-
nation as an incubus laid upon us, which
would crush out all of our business vital
itv and relegate US to the position from
which our best efforts have been exerted
to relieve ourselves. We pray the pow
ers that he not to press this cup to our
lips. We have done nothing to deserve
it.--Lincoln Leader.
