No You should read it some

THE PROPOSED WESTERN CONGRESS-.

A great deal is being said in many of
the western papers about the forthcoming
western congress which it is proposed to
hold at Denver or Kansas City, or at
both places, some time or other before
long; hut the scheme seems to lack that
vital element of organized effort that
must be developed to bring about success.
Such congress as is proposed, that is,
one that expects to speak authoritatively
for the west and southwest upon the vital
questions of silver coinage, development
Of manufactures, home and foreign mar
kets, advancement of agriculture,
and the reclamation Of the arid
lands, can not be rushed through within
a few weeks. The idea, We believe origi-
mated al Galveston, and was taken up by
the Kansas legislature, but there is
great lack of positive information con-
corning it among the people generally.
Denver claims to be the headquarters of
the coming congress as suggested at Gal
weston, and Kansas City, it is said, has
the backing of the Kansas legislature.
This is rather an unfortunate state OF
affairs. The subjects to be discussed are
those upon which there should be the ut
most harmony. There ought to be some
general understanding about this matter.

THEY WILL SEE THE POINT.

According to Senator-elect PETER, of
Kansas, the so-called Peoples party,
backed by the Farmers and the Knights
Of Labor, will wipe the two old parties
from the face of the earth when the bal
lots are counted for the next presidential
election. All the pins for this coup are
to be set up at meeting to be held in
Cincinnati May 10. 1t is we'll that Ohio
was chosen in this instance, for that is
not far from where Mr.. Brce halls, and
if report be true he and his friends are
engineering this little deal purely in the
interest of the unterrifed. The chances
are that honest labor will not always per-
NIT itself to be made tool of to promote
the welfare OF set of political tricksters
like "the rainbow. chaser" and his fol-
lowers. Ten to one the earnest but mis-
guided men in this movement will see
the point long before the next presiden-
tial nominations are made.

THEY HAVE COME WEST,

Official statistics show that IN Massa.
chusetts there are ,46l abandoned farms,
averaging eighty-seven acres each, Of
these 772 are supplied with buildings Of
an average value Of $3.50; $50 are without
buildings. These abandoned farms form
about 81 per cent Of the total farm
acreage Of the state, and are quoted as
worth something less than $40 per acre.
What's become of the people that left
these farms is question that is agitating
the New Highlander, but it isn't at all
difficult of answer. Those who haven't
died Of consumption have come west and
found pure air and sunshine and put their
money into fruit and alfalfa farms under
irrigation ditches-the prettlest and most
perfect system Of agriculture in the world.

TAXING EXPRESS COMPANIES.

The state of North Dakota collects as
taxes q certain percentage of the gross
earnings of the Northern Pacific railroad ;
now, why should not the territory Of New
Mexico collect as taxes certain per-
centage Of the earnings of the several
express companies in New Mexico? The
state of Missouri does and the validity
of tho law in the latter state has so far
been sustained by its very able supreme
conrt and the circuit court of the United
States. The New MEXICAN understands
that the express companies in New Mex
leo will fight this tax; let them 1t is

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Col, Il, W, WynkOOp,

Col. Il. W. wynkoop.
The many friends of Col. E. W. Wynn
koop IN Colorado will regret to learn that,
through political deal, he has been re-
leved from duty as superintendent OF the
New Mexico penitentiary, and Hon. J.
Frank Chavez, ex-delegate to congress
and ex-president Of the territorial council,
appointed in his stead. Col. Wynkoop
was the first sheriff of Arapahoe county,
was captain Of company "A" in the LIST
Colorado cavalry, then major and
then lieutenant colonel Of the regi-
meDt. Declining an appointment in
the regular army at the close of the war,
he entered the civil list as an Indian
agent, in which capacity he served a
number OF years. He was transferred to
the land department when Senator Teller
was made secretary of the interior, being
~rpolnted special timber agent and as
signed to duty in New Mexico. On the
incoming Of the Cleveland administration
Col Wynkoop was relieved. He was ap-
pointed adjutsnt general of New Mexico
ON the reinstatement of the Republicans
in power, and little over year ago was

| A Bad State Of Affairs in San Miguel
County.
That town OF Chaperito is still keeping
up its already bad reputation with an
energy worthy far better cause. The
other night a citizens home, together
with all its contents, was burned by an
incendiary, simply because permission
had been given handful of neighbors to
hold meeting at the house for the pur-
pose of organizing law and order league
for mutual protection. This is, indeed,
an awful state of affairs, and the remedy,
whatever it is, must soon be applied, else
the whole country will 60 to the "demni-
ton bow-wows." The only draw back to
New Mexico's prosperity, now, is this so
called White Cspism, which encourages
such damnable depredations as these,
even going so far as to shield the perpe-
traitors, if known.-Las Vegas Optic.

specter Photographs.

Mr.. Arthur S. Green, an American
photographer, gives the following meth
cd OF making the camera a source of
amusement by the production of "ghost"
or shadow" pictures-for example, a
seated man starting back in terror from
his own specter. Make background of
the proper size by stretching out some
black material. Place the subject, draped
in white or in light clothing, in the right
attitude to the right or left of the center
of the background, then focus the cam
era and expose the. plate for half Sec
ond. The impression will be that of a
shadowy and ghostlike figure. Take a
chair and table, placing the chair in the
center of the background, and the table
on the side away from the ghost.
Seat the subject in the chair, with his
head turned to the ghost; focus again,
and give the plate full exposure, which,
if the light is good, should be about two
seconds. Develop and print in the usual
way. Any objects to be seen through
the ghost should be photographed with
fifteen seconds exposure before taking
the picture of the ghost. Other devices
of the kind might be mentioned, but it
will be more interesting to leave them
to the ingenuity of the amateur.-New
York Advertiser.

How a Spider Ruined a Nation.

When the French quartermaster, Dis
jonval, was confined in prison by the
Dutch at Utrecht he sought to beguile
the tedium of his prison life by atten-
lively studying the habits Of the spiders
which frequented his cell, and eight
years Of imprisonment gave him leisure
to be well versed in their ways. In De-
cember of 1894 the French army, on
whose victory over the Dutch depended
Disjonvals restoration to liberty, were
in Holland, and the victory seemed GER
tain if the frost, which was then of un-
precedented severity, continued.
The Dutch ENJOYS had failed to ne
gotiate a peace, and Holland was de-
spairing when the frost suddenly broke.
The Dutch were now exulting, and the
French generals prepared to retreat;
but the spiders of Disjonva's cell fore
warned him that the thaw would be of
short duration, and he knew that his
little insect weather monitor never de-
ceived him. Accordingly he contrived
to communicate his weather knowledge
to the army of his countrymen and its
generals, who duly estimated his dis
jonvals) character, relied upon his as
surance that within few days the
waters would again be frozen so as to be
passable to the French troops.
They delayed their retreat; within
twelve days sharp freeze set in, and
the French army triumphed. Disjonval
was released, and, "a spider had brought
ruin to the Dutch nation.-St. Louis
Renub1ic

Colds in Summer.

To talk of guarding against cold in
summer seems absurd, and yet it is as
necessary as in winter. Where the eli
mate is changeable hot day is often
followed by cool evening or a sudden
rainstorm chills the air, or a cold wind
springs up, grateful after the heat but
dangerous to those who are thinly clad
unless they are protected from it by
proper covering.
Cotton is good conductor of heat
and allows it to escape rapidly from the
surface Of the body. AS soon as the
surrounding air becomes cooler than the
skin it steals the heat which the body re-
quires for its own needs. A fresh sup
ply of heat must be produced, and thus
the system is overtaxed to supply the
demands Of the robber. Flannel is a
bad conductor and guards the tender
body more faithfully, retaining the heat

ait is very difficult" said business
man, "to make people understand that
one can't always employ young men
starting in life just to please our friends
who recommend them to Us. It's bad
business policy to employ more men
than one needs. In these days of close
competition, no business man can afford
to spend money unwisely. A certain
volume of business justifes and demands
certain expenditure in salaries to carry
on that business. It isn't fair to Us to
ask US to increase our salary list when
there is no excuse for so doing. 1t isn't
fair to our trusted and efficient employees
TO ask Us to employ new men and yet
maintain our salary list. We can do
this only In two ways. One is to pare
off enough from the salaries of the old
men to provide salaries for the new men.
Another is to discharge old men to make
room for the new. You see that both
plans are out Of the question, other
things being equal.
"People who send promiscuous letters
of recommendation often cause us a

to please friend, and yet one cannot
always, in justice to himself or others,
do this. And have you ever noticed
how many of these letters of introduc-
ton describe the bearers of them as bril-
liant young men, who will prove Of
value to those who employ theInS Hard
ly one man in a thousand of those de-
scribed in this way fulflls the promises
made for him. Do those who write such
letters ever consider that if big busi-
ness house employed all the men who
brought letters of recommendation to
the firm it would be overwhelmed with
employees within year and driven into
bankruptcy in two years by its stupen-
dous salary list?-New York Tribune.

Fifty Feet of Rattlesnakes.

Charles Everitt and party of friends
were enjoying themselves in the woods
near Stroudsburg, Sunday, when they
suddenly found that they were in a den
of rattlesnakes. On every side were big
black rattlers, making the air ring with
the weird music of their tails Eve1itt
and the others pitched into the snakes
with clubs and stones and succeeded in
killing thirteen. Double that many more
escaped. When the rattles were counted
on the dead reptiles it was found that
they numbered 142, while the total length
of the snakes was over fifty feet.-Port

Fishing for Ducks.

In India an ingenious scheme is prac-
lced for taking ducks on line. which
is attached at one end TO q flexible stick
stuck up in the mud. the other extremity
having double pointed needle Of bone
attached TO it. The latter is baited by
stringing upon it some grains of corn.
Presently along comes Mr. Duck. swal-
lows the needle and finds himself a cap
tive the moment ne tries 10 fly away. In
old times the Cape Cod fishermen de-
pended largely for bait upon the sea fowl
they took on their voyages. To catch
them they threw out fishing lines with
hooks on the ends. 10 which were at

hoated because of the oil they contained,
