OUR ROADS PROSPECT.

The following most excellent informa-
ton is taken from the Denver Neics, of
Wednesdays issue;
Private advices from Jefferson Ray
nolds state that he has found among
eastern capitalists most gratifying
degree OF interest in the Ell Paso short
line, and that by the time arrangements
be placed without difficulty. Mr.. Ray
nolds will likely come to Denver in a
short time, aud the first step in the build
ing of the road will have been completed.
There is considerable to be done here
yet. A definite traffic agreement with
the Union Pacific or Rio Grande between
Denver and Trinidad must be signed,
rights of way are to be secured and GER
tain valuable coal lands will have to be
looked after. These things could not be
finally settled until the eastern market
had been felt
The local men are satisfied that Jay
Gould does not propose to build from
FL Paso to White Oaks, and the Shert
line will, therefore, extend from Trinidad
to Ell Paso. The promoters are we'll
satisfied with the progress thus far
made.
Such being the case Pueblo, Trinidad
and Ell Paso, should no longer delay
action. Let them come to the front, at
once, with the assurance Of subscriptions
in the several amounts assessed against
them. The eastern market is favorable
but, then, the enterprises soliciting cap
ital are almost innumerable. When
eastern capital shall begin to look west
ward for investments, those enterprises
will be selected which have the best
home backing; and it is only by backing
the Independent line, ourselves, that We
can be successful in securing the neces
sary aid from the east.
Therefore, every days delay is dam
aging Pueblo, Trinidad and Ell PasC
should at once raise the amount Of sub
scriptions prorated to them respectively
As soon as this shall be done, Denver
will assume the part she is to bear; an(
with this undeniabe endorsement il
their hands, the management of thu
Independent line will have no difficult,
whatever in securing all the none.
needed. Why, then, do Pueblo, Trni
dad and Ell Paso delay the good work
Will they please tell us why?-Optic.

Territorial Fair.

G. c. Hall, of Albuquerque, one OF the
Executive committee OF the Territorial
fair, called on the EAGLE. 1t is the de
sire of the Albuquerque Board to secure
from Lincoln county her Worlds Fair
exhibit to be displayed at the Territorial
fair and shipped from there direct to the
Worlds Far. Mr.. Hall presented the
matter for the consideration OF the Board
ot county commissioners in session this
week. The Territorial fair attracts
several thousand visitors annually and
il this exhibit can be shown at this fair
on equal footing with other exhibits, il
would be of incalculable value to Lin.

We hope to see the White Oaks and
Salado coal fields and the marble and
mineral deposits of Lincoln county fully
represented at the Southeastern New
Mexico Fair next October. There should
be on exhibition the best specimens from
every mine and every claim in Lincoln
county. 1t will pay the progressive peo-
pie of that county to attend to this mat
ter fully and carefully, and to have the
exhibit arranged SO as to be displayed to
the best advantage.-RosWeH Register
l. An exhibit from the various mining
districts of Lincoln county at this fair
might be OF some importance to our peo
ple-equal at any rate to similar affairs
in interior counties and the EAGLE com
mends this subject to the individual
attention of those interested. At the
present time when as a matter OF public
action and interest many matters of this
kind are taxing the time and attention
of Lincoln county. it is somewhat doubt
ful whether a large aud creditabl,
enough exhibit could be gotten togethe
for this purpose, but ON the genera
principle that all advertising does som,
good, it would probably be well fo
everyone who can make it convenient, tC
forward various exhibits. Ae the Peco
valley has no precious minerals, iron
coal, marble, etc. au exhibit of thes
from Lincoln county would no doubt en-
nance local interest in the display.

IfAlbuquerque gets her Durango road
it cannot stop there. 1t will possibly be
the road to furnish the connecting link
with southeastern New Mexico and Albu

Therefore, let us all work for these
tangible objects and leave imaginary Of
undeveloped futures alone until they art
ready to go to work and do as have thes'

| A representative farmer should be a
| brOad-minded, intelligent man, whose
education and experience are not con-

who has no knowledge of existing con-

or country is likely to become opinion
ated, and would really present but little

farmers knowledge should not be con-

an understanding of the principles in

and should be able to gnalyze the causes
! of success or depression by which they
may be ur1ouGded, and to suggest a
remedy for evils wherever they may
exist
! He should have critical knowledge

one. He should be well posted in regard

life and property of the farming popula-

! The representative farmer cannot be a
man of one idea. He should not only
know how to make 800 pounds of butter
from a COW IN year. but he should
know whether legislation in his state af-

should not only know how to care for
crops so as to make them of the greatest
possible benefit TO himself, but he should
have progressive ideas of how to care

the greatest possible benefit to the world.

GOOD FOR THE YOUNG EMPEROR.

The young emperor of Germany,
though erratic and possessed Of many
idiosyncrasies, has the happy faculty of
saving something now and then that de-
serves credit and remembrance. In
speaking to General Won Koltenborn
the other day, he said; Il do not rec
ognize Hebrews and Gentiles among
Germans, and my subjects must ignore
the distinction. Good for William
Racial and religious prejudices should
be overcome by all Iberal-minded men
the world over, rulers as well as sub
iects-and the sooner bigotry and preJu-
dice give way to liberality and common
sense the better for all nations as we'll as
individuals. The Jew, wherever he is,
should be judged according to his indi-
vidual actions, not as a race, of which
he is but an infinitesimal part. As long
as he is a good citizen, obeying the laws
Of the country in which he lives, he
should be judged like any other citizen.
Worth makes the man. Birth, condl-
tions and environments are oftentimes
enforced and not of our own making,
and the individual should be judged and
treated as part of great brotherhood,
dependent one on another.

Professor Briggs declined trip to Eu-
rope this summer that had been planned
and provided for by his admirers and
followers as compliment, and went to
Portland, Ore, 10 attend the general as
sembly Of the church, anticipating that
the case against him would be called up
and acted upon, and he desired to he
present and plead his own cause. The
case did come before the assembly, but
it was hurriedly disposed of by referring
it back to the New York synod for set
Element 1t is suggested that the pres
ence of the accused in the assembly
caused the disposition of the case that
was made OF it. This is hardly the case.
A great church would not falter in a
plain line of duty. We take it, if indie
alive of any shade of sentiment in the
body, as evidence of more liberal ideas
and broader views touching the cardinal
doctrines of the church. The dismissal
Of the case against Briggs by the assem-
bly, is a victory in his favor.

While the church congresses almost
without exception are inreighing against
and denouncing the saloon in the most
vigorous terms, going so far, in some in
stances, as to declare open opposition to

pledges to suppress it,-while all this is
going on, radical diversion is suggested
and boldly advocated by minister of
one of the orthodox protestant churches.
Rev. Rainsford of the Episcopal church,

church taking the saloon into partner

for notoriety only, but he Will doubtless

pie who will indorse the innovation.

and men elected who are squarely against
fusion. Every delegate is instructed to
oppose fusion in any form whatever.
One delegate from Sugar Creek town
ship arose in the convention and said
that he believed three or four political
schemers had forced their way into the
PEOPLES party for the sole purpose OF
throwing it into the Democratic ranks.
He said that these schemers are now
quietly at work attempting to make
some kind of a combination with the
Democratic party for the purpose OF
dividing up the offices and that if they
did so, at least three-fourths of the
farmers in his township who belonged
to the Peoples party would leave it.
At Burlington the Peoples convention
of Coffey county was solid against fusion.
They adopted resolutions which declare
'that we are not in favor of fusion IN
any form" This was adopted without a
dissenting voice Notice has been served
upon the Democrats of this section that
they need not expect assistance III any
shape from the third party. They have
been informed that they will be well
coined into the Peoples party, but they
can never expect the Peoples party to
vote for Democratic candidate.
At Lawrence the convention was
against fusion. The fight was lond and
bitter. The discussion was continued
for three hours with such orators as Gov
ernor Robinson, H L. Moore, Captain
Jennings and a T. Allen, resulting in a
defeat OF the fusiouites.

A German doctor at Cassel, Germany,
undertook new and peculiar treatment
for case of hysteria. He reasoned that
corporal punishment would be more
effectual than drugs. The court which
investigated the case marked it brutal
and sent him 10 jail for six months. If
the patient had been suffering from an
overdose of morphia or some other
powerful narcotic and the doctor had
resorted to the same treatment nothing
would have been thought of it, because
the practice" authorizes it. Medical
science is largely experimental: no two
cases of the same ailment can be treated
just alike. Hence, the physician must
need exercise judgment. If, therefore,
the doctor believes external applications
will be more effective than loading the
stomach with drugs it is his duty. and
ought to be his privilege to do so.
