promised reward is not large now, yet
who can tell what the gang might ultl-
mately accomplish with the machinery OF
the city well in their hands. We have
seen something of this in county affairs.
Result: Dangerously near bankruptcy
and general disgrace. Thanks to the
courts continuation of that policy has
been summary shut off If Santa te is
to become victim OF plumber and mis-
rule, even though in small way at pres
ent, then farewell to any hope of perma-
nent benefit or prosperity. The best way
to prevent it is to understand and guard
against the danger now by never letting
these fellows get their vicious grip upon
municipal affairs. The robbery of cities
has come to be fashionable industry that
can find material for following here.
Select, first, for mayor man of good
character, ability and answering hon
esty. He it is who must hold in check
whatever of rascalty Is bold enough to
show ITSELF Next to him in importance
come the members of the city council or
board of aldermen. Every member Of
that body ought to be something more
than an enterprising, public spirited man.
He ought to be a man of good character
and tried integrity, untarnished hereto
fore by any questionable transactions or
occupations. The right material can be
found, and the use of it will help Santa
Fe amazingly in its effort to get out OF the
rut of centuries and fill its veins with
new life blood. Business men and CAPT.
talists who contemplate investment here
will speedily know what character of men
have been given charge of city affairs,
and they will quickly draw conclusions as
to the character of the people. The sign
will either warn them OF breakers ahead
or clear sailing. Let them have the as
surance that they will be protected, net
feeced. This is the A. B. G. of gooc
government for Santa Fe.

For Santa Fe, What Next7

To the Editor of the New Mexican.
Now that Santa Fe has acquitted her
self so nobly in the way of voting for in
corporation it would be deplorable if the
management Of her affairs should fall
into bad hands. There is nothing like
good beginning. The beginning of the
life of Santa Fe as city is at hand. The
danger that threatens the life of every
city from start to finish is gang rule. )"
Santa Fe will be no exception. "Gang
rule" means the domination of little
coterie of avaricious politicians who will
take care to see that they and their i'm
mediate heelers shall reap the benefit Of
whatever influence or profit can be
squeezed out Of the city. To be sure the

Capt. Sol. Spiegelberg can be found at
the Second National bank with his safe

his friends and patrons to give him call
for the settlement of accounts. Now is
the time to do this. Capt. Spiegelberg,
although 66 years of age, has more pluck

But, of course, the interest on this
point in Moltke's career is that the
great work of his life was done after he
had reached the age of 66; and, indeed,
until 80 he was little known outside of
Prussia. His supreme achievements

by their working on the alSkc and other
plants that the native bees are unable to

suitable she will only store up the sur
plus, waiting for the substances that are
necessary to complete the product. and
in so doing she does not lay. Food that is
unbalanced will, of course, be readily
eaten, but nature cannot be cheated.
The excess will be yoided and wasted; or
if it abounds III the hcat-producing ele-

FLEEING FROM HIS MAJESTY



Carrying Corpses to the Grave.
4 Chinese funeral never goes straight
to the cemetery, but, In a trot, hurries
up the street and then makes a short
turn into a side street, trots up that and
then turns again, SAYS a Chinaman in
the st. Lo-iis Globc-Democrat. Half a
dozen times in the course ofthe march to
the grave the bearers of the body make
these short turns and, occasionally after
turning will suddenly halt and wait for
several minutes.
The purpose OF these sudden turns
and unexpected halts is 10 deceive the
devil. The Chinese devil is a very
great fool, ana can always be outwitted
If YOU know how to 90 about it, lie is

where one has died, but is not allowed

When he wants 10 20 round corner
he must stop, back in a half-Circle till
he gets his face in the proper direction,
when he can 90 ahead.
All these facts are well known to the
pall-bearers, so when they come out Of a
house OF mourning they come in run,

While they are making the start
lunches OF frecrackeTs arc set off, in
order t. distract the devils attention,
and the common impression is that il
enough crackers and powder are used at
the start the bearers can get away
with the body before the devil can clear
the smoke cut of his eyes and see
which way they have gone. But, lest he
should have pursued them without their
knowing II. they run awhile, then turn
and as II the devil had been following
them, he shoots on by, and before he
can turn back they have gone round
the next corner. The great point is to
throw him off the trail, SO firecrackers
are set oil whenever a turn is made, in
the hope of soaring him away or putting
him Oh the wrong road

Wintcring Bees.

October is the best month in which to
prepare colonies for their long winter re-
pose. If short of stores they should be
given graduated syrup. If fed early
enough the bees will have this food put
into the combs and sealed over before
cold weather. For wintering an under
ground cellar is best, as the temperature
is even. 1t should be well ventilated,
should have few or no vegetables in it.
and SawdnSt should be kept on the floor
to absorb the moisture. The hives ought
to be raised from the bottom boards at
least one inch to secure circulation of
air. If the bees get uneasy the hives
should he lifted from the bottom boards
