MADE OF.

mAUb VI,
1t is admitted OH all sides and By all
good citizens that statehood for New
Mexico would be of the greatest benefit
to the people; it is not denied, except by
few gangsters and boodlers, that have
captured the Democratic party machinery
and are running it, not for the benefit Of
the Democratic party or of the people but
for their own aggrandzement, political
ambition and personal profit, that the
people of New Mexico are well fitted for
statehood and that the commonwealth is
well able to support a state government
decently and well. That being the case,
why should the good and patriotic citizen
of New Mexico, not vote for statehood
and the adoption of the constitution,
which is one of the best, most liberal and
most advanced instruments of the kind
ever submitted to or voted for by any
people of any state in this country. There
is absolutely no answer to this, except
the falsehoods and ISLANDERS of few cor
rupt politicians, who just now are run
ming the Democratic machinery much to
the disgrace and the disgust and the in
Jury of the rank and file of the Demo
cratic party and all respectable citizens.

DURING the Democratic adminlst ration
from 1885 to 1889, the expenses Of the
territorial prison amounted to $4,000 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
Republican administration is honest.
That is all.

By all means let us have an improve
ment in the country's coin, both as re-

quite inferior when compared with the

hoped, with many others, that our legis'
lators would honor themselves and their
constituents by unhesitatingly abrogat-
ing law which can not be right, ignor-

verdict was "Inexpedient." If it were
necessary, could give multitude OF
facts with heartrending details concern

prived Of their own children-torn from

The ruling of our Legislators on this

thoughtful man and woman to the crime

be possible for the nation to be much
longer blinded to the injustice OF allow

Old Shah-bah-skong, the head chief
of Mile Lac, brought all his warriors
to tdefend Fort Ripley in 1852. The
Secretary of the Interior and the Gov.
ernor and Legislature Of Minnesota
promised these Indians that for this aci
OF bravery they should have the special
care of the Government and never be
removed. A few years later q special
agent was sent from Washington to ask
the Oiibways to cede their lands and to
remove to a country north of Leech

great father has heard how you have

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

manuscript of Darkest Africa" from
Cairo to the Scribners, Stanley wrote:
when it is done, not Vanderbilt's
wealth would induce me to write upon
the subject at length again.
The literary production of Mexico
Is quite wonderful. One of her latest
photographed lists mentions no less
than $4,000 volumns by 5000 native
Mexican authors. The first book
printed on this continent was published
in Mexico.
Count Muster, the present German
Ambassador at Paris, is the author OF
one of the best cook books of the day.
A sarcastic colleague once said of him:
"He is the best cook among the diplo-
matists, and the best diplomatist among
the cooks.'
Its reported in Boston that Edward
Bellamy wrote Looking Backward"
as satire on Socialism, and was the
most astonished man in the country
when thousands of people took it seri-
ously and set him up on pedestal as
the prophet of new era.
Rose Hartwick Thorpe says that her
earliest recollections are of writing lit

When she was little older she boarded
every penny in order to buy sheets Of

Miss Blanche Willis Howard, the
novelist, lives in Stuttgart and receives

GOSSIP ABOUT PILLS.
A Warning Addressed to Careless Con.
sumcrs of Patent Medicines.

A Warning Addressed to Careless Con-
sumcrs of Patent Medicines.
The man or woman who uses family
pill on his or her own responsibility,
and without the Intervention of a doc
tor, is entitled to know what drugs it is
actually composed of, and the exact
quantity of each drug II contains. Many
substances-most substances, in fact,
that possess aperient properhes-have
other properties as we'll, some of them
injurious, and some decidedly danger
Gus. Mercury, for example, is one Of
the commonest of all ingredients in
what are called silver pills" A single
pill containing small quantity of mer-
curry has been known to produce saliva
ton, liberation of the gums, loosening
of the teeth, vile odor of the breath,
feverishness, weakness and q whole
series of other symptoms sometimes re-
quiring treatment in bed for week or
two. Though it is rare for a single pill
to produce this marked effect two or
three pills taken on successive nights
often do 1t, and particularly in DELEGATE
women. We do not hesitate to say that
no man or women should take mercury
without qualified medical mans in
structions, unless he has previous
ly proved by repeated lpersonal
experience that mercury is quite
safe for him. Podophyllin is less dan
gerous than mercury, but also much
more painful in its action, and very de.
bilitating. Even quinine may produce
serious symptoms in some persons and
in peculiar bodily conditions. Opium,
which is perhaps one OF the commonest
ingredients employed by patent medi-
cine vendors in the preparation of their
wares, is one of the most dangerous
poisons known. The contention is that
men and women who use patent pills
and such other articles not only ''buy
pig in poke" but do so without the
justification of necessity. They would
not take chicken from the poulterer,
or a sirloin from the butcher, still less
a bonnet from the milliner or a coat
from the tailor, without previous care
full inspection and full knowledge on
their own part Yet it would be much
wiser and safer to do any or all of these
things than to take pills when they are
out of health, of whose contents and
properties they know nothing at all. 1t
may be laid down as a general principle
that no man should do thing with his
eyes shut If he have a chance of doing
it with them open. A leap in the dark
should never be taken except under the
sternest necessity. Does it require any
argument to show that this principle is
as applicable to pills as it is to politics
or to everyday business?-Hospital

An Ingenious Suggestion.

A number of experiments in anneal-
ing metals has lately been carried out
in Berlin. DIR. Lowenherz, who has
taken prominent part in these tests,
has been lecturing before the Polytech-
mic Society of London, and in the course
of his remarks he suggested that prop
erly worked out it may be possible to
insulste electric-light wires with coat
ing of oxide. A means of insulating
copper bodily, without India rubber or
other compound, would be nightly val
liable at this particular stage of the dis
cussion concerning the relative merits
of the overhead and the underground
systems. It is hardly possible to re-
gard The suggestion as practicable, but
it is certainly novel and ingenious-N
