NEW MEXICO's AFFLICTED,

The members of the 29th legislative as
sembly will certainly prove derilict in a
duty that they owe to afflicted humanity
il they fail to provide adequate means for
carrying on and building up an institution
for the education of New Mexico's deaf,
dumb and blind. This work, as previously
remarked, has been already auspiciously
begun and las been prosecuted in the
face OF very many obstacles until now it
has reached point where it must either
be pushed on to success or collapse
Should the latter occur it would be great
pity and shame. There are several
hundred Of this class of unfortunates in
the territory mostly they are hechildren
OF poor parents who have not the
means to educate their off spring, and if
they are allowed to 20 uncared for by the
state in this particular, they stand most
excellent prospects of eventually becom-
ing greater public care in the shape OF
beggars and paupers. Then, too, it is
fact that very many OF these unfortunates
are actually craving for an education the
calls upon the deaf and dumb school
already unheeded because Of niggardly
legislative policy in times past proves
this. Shall these afflicted be given 9
stone when they cry out for learning
Only a comparatively small amount o.
money would suffice-the sum of IS ,0O(
year for the next two years woulc
place the institution in shape where the
territory's deaf, dumb and blind could be
very comfortably provided for, and if tc
this were added authority to utilize the
penitentisry convict labor in the manu-
fscture Of brick and the construction of 6
suitable building, We feel sure that the
constituents of every legislator woult
commend the good and timely action tina
brought it about. Let the deaf, the dumt
and the blind in New Mexico be as hu
namely cared for as are those unfortunates
in other civilized communities.

Their Only Medicine Chest.

William w. Is. Miller, Deerlodge, Mon
tana writes:
81 have been using Brandreth's Pills
for the last thirteen years, and though |
have had nine children, l have never
had doctor ia the house except three
times, when we had an epidemic of scar
let fever, which we soon banished by a
vigorous use of brandreth's Pills. have
used them for myself, two or three
night for month, for liver complaint,
dyspepsia, and constipation. In dior
rhea, cramps, wind collie. indigestion,
one or two Brand.eth's Pills fixed the
children at once. A box Of pills is all the
medicine chest We require in the house.
We use them for rheumatism, colds, cat.
arrh, bllionsness and impure blood. They
never have failed to cure all the above
complaints in very few days"

MORE than likely the high license bill
will become law before another issue of
this paper greets its readers. There has
been some pretty stubborn opposition to
this measure, but now that both branches
of the assembly have passed upon it,
there seems no prospect Of it's being hung
up. The bill as it now stands is an i'm
provement over the original measure,
both houses having added features that,
all things considered, may be regarded as
timely. The most important feature
added by the council will serve to do away
entirely with the drug store dram shops.
1t is an open question if the druggists
themselves won't heartily endorse this
amendment, for it will relieve them O

enhsting outside capital in the
development of those industrit :
which will forever free New Mexico from
that bondage which compels her people
to pay heavy tribute to Kansas, Nebraska
and Colorado, The proposed measure is
an admirable one; it leaves the matter
wholly in the hands OF a majority Of the
land owners in any district, and it makes
it optional with them whether or not they
will adopt tho new or cling to the old
system. Let it be remembered that
water is the basis OF values in New Mex

A RATHER important measure was laid
before the legislature early in the session,
!. g., the irrigation act fashioned after the
law which has done 30 much to promote
the prosperity of California; but as yet
nothing has come tf it. 1t is essential
that some such act should become law at
this session. True, we could trudge along
in the old way and make some progress,
but the passage OF a new law would Ger.

ALL eyes are upon the senatorial strug
gle in Kansas to-day. Defeated or not
Senator Ingalls, and his friends may vel
be proud Of the manful contest they have
made, and the q. A. R. has stood solidly
for Ingalls, from the start. The distln
guished Kansan struck the keynote Of bis
opposition at the hands of the Farmers
Alliance when he said, it was dominated
by the southern end Of the farmers
movement who thus sought to make ill.,
roads upon leading Republican represen'
tatives in the y. S. senate.

THERE seems to be a decided inclina-
ton about the legislative halls to adopt
the excellent suggestion made by the
governor in his message and provide for
giving the new laws the widest publicity
through the medium OF the press before
they shall become operative. The press
and people would certainly be benefited
il this plan is carried out.

Does Not Want ColfAx County Divided.
1t is rumored that the effort to divide
Colfax county is to be revived. There is
no occasion for such division at this
time and there is no demand for it ex-
cept by few gentlemen who are directly
interested in the scheme. When this
county secures sufficient population and
assessed valuation to justify there will be
no objections to making two or three
counties out of Colfsx. We have plenty
Of territory, but are lacking in the other
essential ingredients. The people, who
should control in the matter, are opposed

The Optic About Correct.

culation in the territory. Twenty-Five
cents for all publications of lax SALE
when the land to be sold is not town

when the land is town lot, will not pay
for the bookkeeping in eacl, case, much
less the type setting and other expenses.
If the editor were his own devil and COM

still could not afford to publish such no

TROUBLE BREWING IN SAMOA.
Mataafs Insists lie Is King. aud Many Chiefs

Ban FRANCISCO, Nov. 27.-Among the
passengers on the Mariposa from Samoa
was the United States land commissioner.
II. c. Ide. who was sent down to Samoa TO
straighten out the land titles in conjunction
with the English aud German commission
ers. Mr.. lde was compelled to resign the
position on account of illness In his family.

CHARTERED at Malie. six miles distant. and
hostibties may be expected ct any time.
They look to Mataafa to redress their
wrongs. real or imaginary. and the latter
succeed Malietoa. In fact he has declared
himself In this respect. He says he is the
rightful king of the Samoans. He argues
that in the Berlin treaty the powers laid
his successor be elected. He de-
mands that nm. election take
place. He has the people with him.
he claims. and therefore is the right
fni king. When the news OF his war-like
attitude reached Apla, the council was
called by Malietoa and a proclamation
issued ordering the chiefs to disperse. The
latter refused 10 obey, and their lands were
declared forfeited to the government. and
they themselves declared rebels. This was
the condition OF things when | left Apia.
and if the powers do not interfere il looks
as if war could not be averted.
Baron Won Pilsach. the German presi-
dent of the municipality and the adviser
to the king. has resigned. but still goes on
conducting Samoan affairs. He will not
leave there until Jan. IL. Notwith-
standing the fact that Mataafa 10 the NOV
ing spirit in fomenting the trouble, the
natives claim there are too many Offices
held by the foreigners for which they ave
to pay. Ihey think the office of the Chief
Justice and President could be combined
and that similar other changes be made"
COMMISSIONS Ide said that il has been
discovered there are more deeds on record
In ApIa than there is land in entire Somoa.

registered, but the work of straighSening

FOUR TEARS OF SLUMBER.
Michael Fernan Worked Day and Night and
Now he Is Taking a Forced Rest.

SCRANTON, Nov. 27.-Faetoryv willie, q vii
lage eighteen miles west of this city, boasts
of a case of somnolence which for four
years has defied the best ply sicians in the
county. The victim is Michael Fernan, q
farmer fifty years of age. Fernan worked

thrifty disposition. secured a position as
night Waterman on the road near his farm.
He was considered one of the best watch
men on the road, and was never found
asleep on duty. Despite, his arduous
night work he did not neglect the farm,
and during the spring and autumn ne
worked regularly all day and then watched
on the road alI night. simply ignoring
natures demands for rest. The only Incon-
vcnience he suffered was occasional pains
in / IS head.
One evening. in the fall of 1857, he was
attacked with headache of such severity
that he was obliged to quit work. The
usual remedies were applied. but TO no
avail. The pain gradually grew worse. and
ragged with such intensity that he threw
himself OH the bed and began to rave and
moan. His delIrium lasted several days.
and during that time he neither ate, frank
nor recognized bis dearest friends. Grad
ually his eyes closed. his raving ceased.
and he fell into a state of Inconsistencies.
Doctors were summoned. but they were
unable TO assist him. They could not &C.
connt for his strange affection. Some at
tributed il 10 lack of rest, others
said it was n dropsical affection of
the brain. Since then he has never
thoroughly awakened from sleep. He has
occasionally attempted to speak. and when
one of his sons died two years ago he
seemed 10 realize what had happened, and
moaned and sobbed piteously for several
days.
Although he has been confined to the
house for four years his form is Just as TO.
bust as 10 was when he was first stricken.
His face has not lost it's natural color. and
his heart and breathing are regular. When
1t Is necessary for him to eat he utters an
indistinct cry which never fails to win a
prompt response from his devoted family.
His appetite is good. and he evidently rel
ishes the liquid food which il administered
to him twice a day. When he has satisfied
himself he simply congresses his lips and
refuses To take more.
