abling act for the admission of New
Mexico passed the senate by vote
of 80 to IL, and the house by vote
of 100 to 81. A slight amendment
in the senate carried it back, and
since fewer than ten days of the SEES
sion remained, it did not secure
final attention and enactment. In
the following congress a similar meas
ure passed the senate by vote of 35
to Is, and was reported favorably in
the house. but failed to be reached
for final action. These facts show
how near New Mexico has been to
admission. indeed, had not Arizona
been set off, she would perhaps be a
state to-day.
In the census of 1890 New Mexico
had l53, O76 lnhabitants-not enough,
without the addition of Arizona, to
equal the congress representative APP
portionment founded on that census,
but more than Idaho and Wyoming
combined, more than Montana, and
nearly four times as many as Nevada.
The natural resources of New
Mexico are very abundant. Her
mines, her alfalfa fields, her fine or
chards, her great herds of sheep, are
known; and in addition she has enor-
nous and valuable beds of coal, an
thraclte as we'll as bituminous. Her
system of irrigation is making her
agriculture of great Importance, in
surfing profitable crops. In most
western states land grants made at
the time of their admission have
been used to erect public institutions;
but New Mexico, without federal
grant or aid of any kind, has built
handsome capital, university, an
agricultural college, a school of
mines, penitentlarY, and an asylum
for the insane.
Her people are looked upon by
many as foreign; but nearly all were
born on American soil--93 out of
every 100. What other portion of
the country can show such figures?
She sent $500 men into the union
army, or more than Colorado, and
more than Nebraska, Oregon and
Nevada combined. She has had a
legislature on the American plan for
over forty years, and the conserva-
tive temperament of her citizens OF
Spanish descent is perhaps really an
element of stability and strength,
when combined with the energy of
other races. While her population
increased % per cent from 1880 to
1890, her enrolment of children in
the public school increased 2S3 per
cent.-Quincy Journal.

A GREAT STATE FOR THE SOUTHWEST.

Governor l.. Bradford Prince has
put before the senate committee on
Territories, facts and figures to show
how much worthier New Mexico al
ready is to be made state than were
Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming and Mon
tana. When, in ls46, Kearney en-
tered Santa Fe, he announced that
'it is the wish and intention of the
United States TO provide for New
Mexico free government with the
least possible delay similar to those
in the United States" The treaty
of Guadalupe Hidalgo, in ls4s, in
creased these assurances, and accord
Ingly in 1850 New Mexico held a
convention, framed a state constitu'
ton and elected a member of con-
gress and Legislature, which latter
chose two senators. But congress
determined at that time to admit
California, and to keep New Mexico
for a time as a Territory. However,

The tables have been turned.
Two years ago the Republicans could
not get hearing in Kansas and the
Peoples party held the ear of the

the Republican state central COM
mittee sent out fiaring posters and
gaudY banners, only the faithful

tice on a ferce post brought an ALI
ance procession a mile long. This
has been reversed now. The ALI
ance people are met on every hand
with poor meetings, while the Repub-
licans are more successful in getting
a hearing than they have ever been in
the history of the state.

Hon. L. G. Fort has not made APP
plication for the position of chief jus
tice, but his friends and the members
of the bar generally of the Fourth
district, regardless of politics, have
taken the matter in hand and there
is little doubt but that he will receive
the appointment. The position is
too honorable for any lawyer to re-
fuse, and we earnestly hope that the
prize will come TO Las Vegas. There
are strong efforts being made for
candidates in other parts OF the terri
tory, but if the appointment is made
from inside the territory, it certainly
should be from our district.

The following remarks from one of
the leaders of the Homestead strikers
in the Globe-Democrat, is curious
acknowledgement:
"a great deal of sympathy is be-
ing worse than wasted on the Home
stead strikers" said Hugh O'Donnell
at the Laclede. 81 have spent ten
years among the iron workers of
America, and 1 state il as All irrefu-
table fact that the employees of these
works earn better wages than men
engaged in any other industry on
earth. 1t is no unusual thing for
rollers to earn $50, and even $40 a
day. Not only is this true of the
Pennsylvania mills, but it is true of
the mills of Ohio and Alabama. Upon
their skill depends the value of the
product, and they are paid like
princes. Still, they are never salts
fed. They are chronic kickers. l
have seen them stop work simply for
an idle Wilma fancied grievance
that would disgrace a school boy
and sulk, while their employers suf-
tered. have seen them walk out
when the furnaces were full, causing
great loss to the mill, when they well
knew that they had no grievance.
Not only do the rollers make good
money-money that causes them to
be envied by many merchants with
large invested capltal-but all other
labor skilled or common, connected
with the American iron industry is
well paid"

Marked copies of that scurrillous
article about Judge O'Brien were
sent to nearly all the papers in the

only one was to be found mean

for standing between it and the hos
pitable doors of the territorial peni-

Kate Field makes public some in
teresting "reminiscences of Sir Charles
Dixie, whom she met twenty years
ago. "The more / saw of Charles
Dixie" says Miss Field, "the better
l liked him; he was an accomplished
man of the world, with keen appre-
citation of women. He believed
thoroughly in their equality with
men, and demanded the same laws
for both sexes. Loving art and lite
nature, he was charming companion,
and his dinner parties were delight
full, because of the hosts bonhomle
and the brilllancy of his guests" At
that time Sir Charles had incurred
the dislike of both Tory and Liberal
sympathizers, who showed their dis
approval of his course in insolent
ways. While he was leaving his
house one evening to address meet
ing at Chelsea a tall man in a long
coat went up to him and said: 81
should like to punch your head"
1.-TWO can play at that game; per-
haps l should like to punch yours"
replied Dixie. The man turned like
coward, and though Sir Charles fol-
lowed him for a short distance he
showed no fight.

A sueeessfu1 woman rarmer

Mrs. Mamie Osborne, of Utah, has
lately taken high rank as successful
farmer. Her husband went to that ter
ritory for his health, and had just got a
farm established on an island in Great
Salt lake, about ten miles from the city,
when he died. This was ten years ago,
and she now has the finest farm in Utah,
and is making large profits from the
proceeds of it. Her ranch is on such
soil that it is highly favorable for gar
den produce, and the greater portion Of
the place is devoted to truck farming,
the product being sent to Salt Lake City
for sale. A visit to the farm showed
that Mrs. Osborne had the science of
farming down to fine point, and as a
result of her labors she is clearing from
$4,000 to $4,000 every year from the pro-
ceeds of the place, but this year expects
to increase it to $40, 900, as she has added
a chicken ranch to the garden farm.
She has two incubators in full blast and
expects by early summer to have 600
broilers ready for market, which will find
ready sale in Salt Lake City. Mrs. Os-
borne's ranch was under heavy mort
gage when her husband died, but now it
is clear, and she has put over $1,000
worth of improvements on it since the
debt was paid.

they were received with open arms and
nothing was too good for them. A re-

evening, by the students and citizens.
An orchestra was furnished and after a
promenade concert of a half hour, col
lation was served and the meeting, ended
with three rousing cheers for the cham
pion school athletes of Maine. Then.
for half an hour pandemonium reigned.
by lighting bonfres, ringing bells, firing
cannons and guns, until half past ten
when quiet reigned in Warsaw.
The entertainment by the students the

Some 1858 dollars was received.

mind cannot be cultivated without skill
skill in thinking clearly and logically,
and skill in bringing the whole power of
the mind to bear upon one object. Such
skill is the ultimate aim of education.
The result is that meaning is
quickened, thought stimulated, rea-
son employed, and the whole
intellect expanded. To accomplish this
| is a great work, worthy of Jealous
care. 1t lifts man from mediocrity to in
i tellectual greatness. But the school
must educate not only the mind, but the
whole man. Moral discipline must be
recognized as no less important than
mental. Without it trained intellect is
a distorted development and a powerful
| weapon for evil. We depend mostly on
the home and the church to evolve faith
and love; but the school can do much
to awake and instruct the conscience. 1t
must be understood that certain degree
| of popular intelligence and virtue is
| necessary for the preservation of our free
institutions. There is a dead line of
| vice and ignorance. Should the average
virtue ever fall below that, disaster
| must follow. 1t is the mission of the
school to keep it above that line. Our
| country is threatened by the tide of
| foreign immigration. Much of this
great damage can be averted by the
| schools where the children of all nation
alties mingle in study and play.
Another dangerous aspect of
American life is the central
ization of wealth, which is causing an
organized opposition between labor and
capital, and we see the astonishing spec
taele of the rich and the poor confront
| ing each other like two great armies.
The schism is increasing between them.
Surely this is no time for relaxing inter
est in our schools, one of the greatest
agencies to counterfeit these evils of the
age. The ignorant are plant tools in the
hands of the INSCRIPTIONS. The schools
by their levelling forces, should allay
the growing animoSities and help the
people to prove strong IN all that makes
for a glorious nation, SO that we may
stand as beacon light for all the rest of
the world.
Mr.. Whitman concluded by addressing
all interested in the institute and saying:
''We stand here with eager expectancy
We want Westbrook Seminary to be all
that such an institution can be. 1t must
be great haven for good. 1t can and
will be if we, in our generation, prove as
wise and faithful astthose before us have
in theirs.
1.-THE past is ours, the future is yet
yelled; but we know that if we are equal
to every emergency we must move for
ward. There is no reason why it should
not be a great Institution. We must
ever be ready to do all that is demanded
by an exacting age. Money will be
required of course. We must have
large endowment fund to hold a fore
most place. I give myself to my new
work heart and mind, and pledge my
self to do the best that I can. May
Gods blessing rest upon Westbrook

A Memorable Square Meal.

"If a man is blessed with a good ap-
petite" said Mr.. Staybolt, she can get
along comfortably for quite spell with
out terrapin; there may be times, in
deed, when he will find the delights Of
a banquet in very simple meal. re-
member a day in the army for instance,
when, after we had been for weeks with
out fresh vegetables of any sort, there
was issued to the regiment ration Of
potatoes. It so happened that on the
same day the sutler had onions. There
were in our tent four men. We got the
company cook to give us our rations Of
potatoes and of salt pork uncooked, and
we bought onions of the sutler. We
had at that time an old saucepan that
one OF us had picked up somewhere.
We got out the saucepan, and cut up the
pork and boiled it until it was about
half done. Then we put in the onions
and then the potatoes, which we had
cut up In large pieces as nearly as posi-
BILE uniform in size, so that they would
all be done at the same time.
"While one man looked after the fire
another attended to the cooking. The
other two sat on the ground and ap-
plauded-that is, they shifted the air
whenever the lid was taken off the sauce
pan and looked at each other and at the
two men by the fire and smiled.
when the stew was nearly done we
put IN a few bareback to soften, and
when after formal inspection by each
man it had been officially declared done
the cook lifted the saucepan from the
fire and set it on the ground. The two
men who had the least to do had been
holding their plates and spoons for fif-
teen minutes.

Russian Hounds for Wolves.

The stockmen of South Dakota have
recently been greatly troubled by wolves,
which have taken to killing calves and
colts. They have suffered SO much from
these pests that they have concluded to
exterminate them thoroughly, and with
that end in view numbers of Russian
wolfhounds have been carried to South
Dakota, where they will be bred and
kept by farmers to the exclusion of all
other breeds of dogs.
