From Boston Journal
At a recent meeting OF the Merrlmack
Va ley Congregational Club in common
Grafton of For etathers' Day, the Hon.
James M. w. Hall of Cambridge gave an
address on ''Remedies for Debased Citi-
zenship." He suggested three RENE
dies: Restricted immigration, reforma
tion of the public press and more care
full attention to education of the children
in lines of good citizenship. In the
course of his remarks under the second
head he said: The Influence of The daily
or weekly paper to-day is beyond calcu-
lation. 1t enters the palace and the
howell; it reaches to the remotest settle
ment; it affects politics, religion, trade,
social and domestic relations in every
town and hamlet. 1t is great educator.
In the hands of noble, true and educated
men it is mighty power for good.
Equally potent for evil is it in the hands
OF men who are more anxious or ambi-
iious to increase their circulation than
to promote what should be the aim of
every journalist-the public welfare. A
vitiated public taste is encouraged or
discouraged by the public press more
than by any other agency, because the

for the exercise of that spirit Of magniti-
cent enterprise which has made this
century so wonderful in its development

the journalism which feeds on disaster

between the brightness of clear MONDAY

1t is hard for reputable journals to

Saturday night was the work of Anarch-
lists and that it was part of the plot dis
covered by the police in London short
time ago to carry on dynamite propa-
ganda in Great Britain in behalf Of the

about the houses of Parliament, the

forcibly of the days of the dynamite out

above). The same section provides that
such affidavit may be made by another

making such affidavit falsely shall be

The same section provides punish

$500 fine and not less than three months
nor more than six months Imprisonment
for refusal or neglect to register any

The international Line.

j. NJ. Neeland, of the United States In
ternational Boundary commission, was in
Deming yesterday. He says the surveyors
are now located near Nogales, A. T., and
up to that point not the slightest altera-
ton had been made in the present. bound
airy line. But all indications point to the
fact that serious defects are preparing
themselves in that vicinity, and it would
seem as though the United States govern
ment will lose considerable portion of
its territory to the Republic of Mexico.
The final lines have not yet been run, and
the commission is engaged in a most
careful survey in that section. As it now
stands the town of Nogales is liable to be
located on Mexican territory. The Off
GERS of the commission refuse to give any
details as to the amount of land in dis
pute. 1t is thought that a report will
shortly be made to the authorities at
Washington in regard to the defect dis
covered, and all negotiations in the prem
lses will be made from there.

FARM AND ORCHARD.
Two Crops of Pears in One Season
Experiments in the Production of
New Varieties of Corn.

A horticultural novelty was brought to
the New MEXICAN to-day in the shape of
two perfect pears representing as many
crops gathered this season from single
tree in the splendid orchard of Valentine
Herbert. The tree responsible for this
unique production is five years old and of
the souvenir de congress variety. 1t
blossomed first in May and yielded q
bountiful crop in July. In August the
tree was for second time mass of
bloom and yesterday second crop of
pears were gathered therefrom. The
fruit is on exhibition at Irelands drug
store. The double crop is a freak, of
course, but it in no small degree serves to
show how peculiarly favorable is this soil
and climate to the production of fruits.
To-day also the New MEXICAN received
from M. j. Maggie two samples of corn,
produced on his Arroyo Chamiso farm,
just south of town, without irrigation.
One is the American yellow corn, which,
true to all claims for it, has grown and
ripened perfectly in ninety days. OF five
new varieties seeded by way of expert
ment, Mr.. Maggie deems this the best for
this locality. The other variety is the
Jerusalem corn, of which splendid sam
pie is shown. 1t is wonderfully produc-
tive and bids fair to be a most popular
crop for all New Mexico.

More Strikes.

Reports received from Cooks Peak say
that the recent strikes on the Inc prop
erty are the largest ever made in south
western New Mexico. A cave has been
opened, disclosing a solid mass of ore As
feet in width and over rs feet in length.
The ore body runs into the mountain,
and only development work can show its
real dimensions. Ore has also been found
in five other places on the property. 1t
is estimated that there is over $250,O0O in
sight. The ore runs 60 per cent in lead
and 10 ounces in silver, yielding $500 net
to the car, while the output is two and
three cars per day. The big strikes made
in this camp in the past few weeks will
likely result in narrow guage railroad
being built from Deming to the Peak.
The mineral is to be found all over the
mountain, and the camp is said to be a
second Leadvile.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

Just thirty days from tomorrow the
general election takes place.
Mr.. Joseph is booked for a speech at
Deming tonight and will be in Silver
City tomorrow.
| The Democrats of Cerrillos will have a
blow out on Saturday evening when Felix
Martinez, of Las Vegas will be the prin-
cipal speaker.
The largely attended and enthusiastic
meetings being held by Catron and Nor
rison, and the attention given to their ad-
dresses by thinking men, indicate a revo-
luton in New Mexico politics. This is
evidently Republican year in this terri
tory.-Raton Range.
Delegate Joseph lost votes by his speech
in Blossburg. He failed to realize that
he was addressing an audience of intel
ligent, reading and reasoning people. His
attempted ridicule of the American system
of protection was the worst thing possible
he could have done.-Raton Range.
There is no good reason for the dele
gates of the Peoples party to go in to the
expense of coming to the county conven-
| ton on the 10th inst, unless for the sole
purpose of ratifying the nominations al
ready made by the 'bosses" and owners
of the party.-Las Vegas Free Press.
Hon. VIM. W. Boyle, the Republican
nominee for assessor of Colfax county,
being register of the United States land
office at Clayton, has declined to make
the race on the county ticket and the
name of P. j. Towner, of Springer, has
been substituted for that of Mr. Boyle, on
the ticket. No stronger or better selec-
ton could have been made. Mr.. Towner
is one of the best known and most
popular citizens of this county. He is
worker and will be elected.
A large and enthusiastic gathering of
the Republicans of Deming was held at
the Deming club rooms last Sunday
afternoon, to arrange for the reception
and entertainment of Hons. Il. B. Catron,
A. L. Morrison, j. A. Ancheta and others,
who will address the people here on the
18th of this month. The proper commit
tees were appointed and all arrangements
completed for great time. Everybody
will be made welcome, especially the "un-
terrified. "-Deming State Advocate.

Filed their Bond.

The Lincoln-Lucky mining company
do not propose to let the little matter of
providing bond in the sum of $4,000
interfere with their shipment of thirty or
forty tones of ore daily from their San
Pedro mines, as they are now doing.
In accordance with Judge McFies
decision this company to-day filed with
District Clerk Goshorn bond in the
above sum with the following as sureties:
John A. Lee and S. M. Folsom, of Albu-
querque; E. T. Weber and F. T. Weber,
Of Santa Fe. These parties justify in the
sum of 100000. Under the decision of
the court the filing of this bond stays the
issuance of the injunction against the
Lincoln-Lucky company which had been
asked for by claimants of the Anaconda
mine
