MINERS, READ AND VOTE FOR THE CON-
STITUTION

Some indisrreet individuals, sore head
ed politicians and would-be Democratic
bosses, of course, have been advising the
miners Of late not to vote for the pending
state constitution because, as they allege,
its provisions are unjust toward those en-
gagged in the mining industry, 1t is diff
cult to keep track of all the fasehoods set
aAoat Ivy the inscriptions gang now so
buslly engaged in opposing statehood for
New Mexico, but for fear that some
worthy voter may be misled by their as
sertions it may be well to state here that
the constitution of no mining state in the
union is so liberal toward this class as is
the constitution proposed for New Mexico.
1t is far more liberal than is the law as it
at present stands, for now the net output
Of all mines as we'll also as all surface i'm
Drovements are taxable, while under the
operations Of the pending state constitu-
ton it is provided that only the gross
output not the ore on the dump, but the
amount actually sold or disposed Of"
shall be taxed in such manner as the
legislature may provide" OF course, in

New Mexico whore the mining industry
is in need of the fostering care of the
state, and where the miners vote is so
influential i'll deciding the result at the
polls there is no prospect whatever that
the legislature will ever adopt an unreas-
enable tax even under the above quoted
limited authority. Miners constitute too
intelligent q class to be cajoed into op.
posing their own interests by any such
hood-winking scheme as that set on foot
by the sore-heads who oppose the pend
ing constitution. Let them investigate
and satisfy themselves on the subject.
The wording OF the clause is plain enough.

whelming vote. The fight that is being
made on the constitution and against

TT Will, FULLY BEAR COMPARISON,

Some Of the blatant antistate sore
heads talk Of the pending constitution as
if it were 4 cast-iron document which it
would be impossible to alter OF modify
in case any of its provisions were found
to be really unsuited to the needs OF this
people. Such is not the case at all. 1t
is an instrument framed by men thor
oughly qualified to appreciate New Mex
leo S wants; framed by them, too, under
fire from the enemy, and therefore it
represents more care, patience, study
and honest patriotism than any similar
instrument ever promulgated in the west.
Compare it, fellow citizens, with the
state constitutions Of the other states;
with IoEa's, Missouri's. Colorado's Wyo-
ming's, CALIFORNIA; or the pakotas'.
And as far its modification, should such
be deemed ncCessary-that lies wholly
with the people. They can speak
through their legislators and amend it by
so voting at any general election. A
little earnest study of the document is all
that is required to show most men what
political trickery there is at the bottom
of all this opposition to New Mexico S
advancement.

The Sun and the Weather.


Mr.. Henry c. Maine, in an elaborate
article in the Troy Taes, thus sums mp
his conclusions: When solar disturb
ances follow each other in rapid success
sion the storm Ieriod Is prolonged. The
effects Of solar disturbances would break
ont on the suns hemisphere turred
toward us produced sudden and power
ful effects in our atmosphere. Storms
known as cloud-bursts have been most
frequently noted in connection with these
sudden out-bursts on the suns face As
a rule the marks of solar disturbance
cannot be seen until the storms on the
earth cease. The spots form after the
storm producing eruptions. Tornadoes
are most numerous during periods OF
violent solar agitation. The number and
violence Of tornadoes are directly proper
toned TO the number and violence OF
solar disturbances. Observations made
during the past winter and spring show
that solar disturbances are in some cases
not marked by spots until month or
two after the erup.ions begin. Fifty-two
DAYS after the great storm of January .
and 10, 1889, spots appeared bv the suns
rotation. Spots also appeared 10y rota-
ton fifty-two days after the great Sa-
moan hurricane of March Is and l6, 1885
which wrecked several men-of-war in
the harbor of Apia. This disturbance on
the sun was followed upon reappearance
May %, 30, by the floods which wrecked
Johnstown, Pa, and drowned Williams
port, Pa.

in this capacity. but the greater part OF

Your Little Girls.

Ignorance is not innocence" you say,
'and shall teach my daughter to call a
spade a spade" My friend, though you
talk forever, you cannot make me believe
that it is best for little girls that we
should enlighten them as to the wicked
ness of this world, or that to realize the
existence of vice and ofpeople of evil
lives and debased social condition will
provide them with shield and buckler
for the years where womanhood and
childhood meet In spite Of the proverb
you fling at my head, Ignorance is inno-
cence in this particular case; and for
every hour of ignorance of such things a
woman should thank heaven.
The schoolgirl whose home is re-
fined one. whose mother is a woman of
sense and worth, is rarely, ifever, placed
in any position in which the innate mod
esty Of her age and condition, and the
habits of delicate propriety which have
been instilled into her daily life, will not
be greater protection TO her than any
knowledge Of impropriety can be. And
daughters who bring their parents to
shame have usually gone through course
Of enlightenment Through the talk Of
wicked girls and boys very often before
they themselves commit any criminal ac-
tions.
As for calling spade a spade
another thing. you insist upon-that Is
all very well when the thing spoken OF
is as innocent as a spade. Mature men
and women often know manyihings they
wish they did not; but when it becomes
necessary to allude TO them, there are
more and less delicate words which may
be used. The be course is not necessary;
else Of what use is refined language
You recognize this fact in ordinary
matters, and acknowledge that there is
such a thing as taste, and such another
thing as deceney, and know that you
should not always call a spade a spade,
nor, when it is too deeply sunk in the
mire, mention it all, unless under the
stress of dire necessity, either TO little
girls or to grown ups"

New Idea in Angling.

Joseph Murphy, the Irish Comedian,
who is now playing over at the H1ymar-
ket, is an enthusiastic angler, and never
misses an opportunity to 90 on a fishing
trip. Even now he is looking forward to
the fine times he will have next summer
with the rod s.nd reel. He tells some
good fish stories, among them one which
is particularly good. One day some time
ago he went out on fishing excursion
with a friend who was full of bright
ideas in the angling line. As the two
paused at an inviting spot and prepared
10 cast, one of Mnrphy's friends bright
ideas struck him. Picking up one of a
pile Of shingles lying on the bank he tied
line around it, put on hook, which he
baited with live frog, and threw it into
the water The shingle floated On the
surface Of the water.
"Now, Joe" said Murphy's friend, "if
big fish bites he will try to go to the
bottom after he finds himself hooked,
and the shingles full broadside will offer
such resistance that. he will be held
where he is. We can set number of
these lines and then go further along and
fish for perch. When We come back We
will probably find big catch. This
struck the comedian as a great idea, and
they set out eighteen Of these shingle
lines before they left the spot. Then
they went along and had great luck in
catching perch. But what do YOU sup
pose we found when We returned 10 our
traps ?'' Murphy asks when he reaches
this point in the story. The listeners all
make big fish guesses, and then Murphy
says: NO; we found our eighteen frogs
calmly amusing themselves on eighteen
shingles. - Chicago Herald.

Modern Philosophy.


Tomorrow makes foolish the things
you have done to-day.
A pretty woman has her faults, but she
is never as useless as pretty man.
Sorrows are never childless, and every
sorrow is partly wrath.
Some men must have new friends every
month in order to have any friends at
all
Don't expect the child whose youth
made yoa impatient, to be patient with
your old age.
lfthe national flower is made appro-
pirate to the majority Of us, it will be 3
wall flower.
If others did not sometimes annoy US
we would not realize how much we an
noy others.
The trouble in most quarrels is that
the person who has given no ofTense
hastens 20 give it.
When you don't bear bad things about
man you usually don't hear much OF
anything about him.
Some men are kept SO busy bushing
for others that they have no time LEFT to
bush for themselves.

Her Presence.

The fondness of Phillips Brooks, of

ty church, for little children, is well
known Not very long ago Dr.
Brooks was calling on a friend in Cam
bridge, who is the happy mother Of
three children-two boys and little
girl. DIR. Brooks soon had all three of
the little folk about him and was ques-
tioning them in regard to their views of
an occupation hen they should be grown
up. One boy would be an architect, he
said, and plan Queen Anne houses the
other thought he would be a poet, like
his late distinguished grandfather. "And
what would you wish to be, my dear ?''
said the clergyman, to the little four-
year-old-danghter of the house. II think,
SIR she replied modestly, as she caressed
her dol, "tha' would like to be a
mother" - Washington Post.
