difference of a minute, or sometimes
of even part of minute, is enough
to spoil job. But the company is
the only loser when a job is spoiled.
The men are all paid by piece work,
and every time anything is spoiled
they lose all the work they have done
on it. There is no system of time
pay, and man gets pay only for the
work he finishes which passes inspec-
ton. In the government work
which was done at the mills there
were government inspectors, and
stricter men there never were. These
men were on duty all the time, and
until the men got the full hang of
the work, about half they did was
turned back on them. 1t was long
time before the men made any money
at all on the job. The company
talks about the high wages that are
paid to us. The only reason that
they paid them was that they could
not get competent men to do it for
any less. You and the other people
who are doing lot of talking about
the high wages that we get think
nothing of lawyer being paid big
money, yet let me tell you that it
takes more education and more skill
and more ability and more careful
ness to be a screwman or a roller In
an iron or steel mill than it takes to
be lawyer, and there are fewer
first-class men in this business than
there are in the law business"

PLEASED WITH CARTER.

The selection of Thomas Carter
as chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee meets with the
warm approval of Republicans in
Washington. Carter is recognized
as an example of western snap and
aggressiveness. He is a typical
westerner in his ways and appear
ance; short, tawny whlskers and a
SLOUGH hat give him the appearance
of well-to.do citified drover. There
is nothing of the dude in his make
up. He walks with a quick stride
and there is an air Of frankness and
good humored buoyancy in his man
ners. He became very popular as
delegate in congress. He knows
all that is going on around him, and
is an indefatigable worker and a
sharp politician. 1t is safe to pre-
dict that no mistakes are likely to
be made with Carter at the helm.
Besides, he is popular with every
man on the national committee and
very close to the president, who has
always taken great interest in him.

poets as good as they are for another
railroad in a short time, we should
have immigrants coming in by the
train load.
There is one suggestion we should
like to make about advertising this
place, and that is that the real estate
men here try to get up an organiza-
ton of the real estate men all over
the territory, and advertise New
Mexico in general, but say for par
ticulars as to special local
ity address the agents of the
different exchanges through the ter
ritory. To advertise properly will
require quite sum of money, and
by combining with the entire terri
tory a greater number of persons can
be reached and we should get our
full proportion of the immigrants at
tracted, equally with other places in
the territory, or if we should not it
would be our own fault, caused by
too much backbiting among our
selves.
One advantage of start in this
direction now Is that if we get public
attention attracted this way it will
be easier to get capital for the sew
al proposed railroads which we want
built IN the territory. All the north
western part Of the country has been
advertising heavily for years, and
has grown accordingly, while we
have advertised very little and are at
a stand still. There is no better way
to push the territory than to adver-
tise it, and it will pay hundred per
cent on the investment.

ADVERTISE.

The suggestion of a few days ago,
given by one of our enterprising real
estate men, that real estate ex-
change be organized and a united
effort be made to push the town into
prominence, is one of the best
schemes yet suggested, but it is one
that ought not to be taken IN hand
and then allowed to fall through, as
80 many enterprises have done in the
last few months. 1t is a fact that
since some prominent real estate ad-
vertisers who were here stopped ad-
vertising, sales of real estate are
not near as numerous as while these
parties were spending their hundreds
every month, attracting persons to
come and locate here. And if the
same amount of advertising energy
were expended now, with the pros.

CRIME STATISTICS.

The last census bulletin on the
subject of crimes, chiefly homicides,
in 1890, presents among many other

the South Atlantic states 11,4o9, of
whom S,S68 were negroes; the North

22l were foreign born; New Mexico

Mr.. Carter, of Montana, may be a
first class man for the position of
chairman of the Republican national
committee, but it would have been
more prudent on his part to have
waited little while. That congress
sional investigation into certain land
grant transactions in New Mexico is
not unlikely to involve Mr.. Carter
Democrat.
AS the investigation is about the
Maxwell grant and matters connected
with it, and that happened years ago,
and the title to the grant has been
passed on two or three times by the
United States supreme court and set
tied, we don't see what connection
Mr.. Carter had with that business, as
it was long before his time.

The Importance of pushing the
town into prominence was never felt
more than at present. With the
finest site, best climate, best water
and best natural advantages of any
place in the west, we are at a stand,
still for lack of the proper energy to
push TO the front. What we need is
to bury all petty spites and work for
a city here and we shall have it. If
it is not done, we shall lose what we
now have and all walk out. Which
is best?

AS we have allowed the entire year
to go by and cannot now have fair
here, the best thing to do is to take
hold end help Albuquerque. Last
year, after the return of some of our
citizens, there was a squirt of energy
about pushing things" but it ended
in talk. We hope enough will go
this year to come back disguised and
go to work.

ALWAYS ON A RUSH.

mere arc many tnlngs 10 make tne
people of this 10th century impatient
that were unknown to those of the
18th. The Colorado Sun says the
latter were never compelled to
lash their horses or them
selves into a run to catch a railway
train. They never had occasion to
talk with those of low tone and thick,
mumbling speech through long
distance telephone. They ran no
risk of being delayed by washouts
or trains off the track at isolated rail.
way stations in Missouri or Arkansas,
or of being kept through on-con-
nection of trains at st. Louis, Cincin-
natl, st. Joseph or other somnambu-
lent towns. They were not worried,
exasperated and worn by the homi-
lies of mugwump political reformers.
They knew nothing Of presidential
conventions with their preceding Pc
RODS of intense exaction on the men,
tai alertness and adaptability of Wis
ion to keep track of the lightning
changes of situation. They were
not required to keep up with con-
stantly appearing new and progress
i've ideas in religion, morals, politics
and science. They never had the
hurrying experience of just getting
hold of the lymph consumption
cure when they were called on to
chase down the theory of the BIZ
chloride of gold remedy. They didn't
have need to dodge or run away
from the office seeker or the kodac
man.
The printers of 200 years ago
didn't have to hurry to get the pa
per to press to catch any early train.
The statesmen were not forced to
hurry around after the uncertain vo-
tiers or to keep on the alert to head
off the schemes of their opponents.
The cities of the period had not
formed the habit of racing for the
highest place in the census returns
The politicians knew nothing of the
custom of engaging in counting con-
tests. Races between husbands and
wives for the divorce court were un-
known. Chicago had not started on
its rushing, buoyant, careering
course Of booming building con-
struction and census competition to
the stirring up of all other cities.
The grain dealers and mining and
stock operators didn't have to watch
lightning changing market or to
fight and yell to make their deals.
The people travelled little in those
days, and when they did they knew
all about where they were going and
how they were going to get there.
Hence they had 10 experience of
the exasperating ignorance of rail
road ticket agents and hotel clerks.
Thus it will be seen that the pres
ent generation has experience in
many things to hurry and hustle
them, both mentally and physically,
of which their ancestors of 200 years
ago were serenely and happily igno-
rant. Aud the habit of fastening
and changing thus necessarily
formed is ruinous to the patience
and destructive to the power to en-
dure anything of the drawn-out or
monotonous.

The longest railroad is in Canada
the Canadian Pacific, the main
line of which is nearly 5000 miles
long. The company controlling the
greatest mileage is the Atchison,
Topeka 81 Santa Fe-7,3s4 miles.
But the company having the largest
capital and doing the largest bust
ness is the London & Northwestern
railway Co., of England. In 1890 it
operated 1877 miles of line; the
Great Western road operated 2,4sl
miles, however. 1t owned 1900 en-
gines, 7,10S passenger cars and ST.
42s freight cars; the Midland com
pany, owning %, 6sS, and the North
eastern company, with $3.50 freight
cars, surpassed it. The Northwest
ern's capital, however, is flO4,O0O,-
600, amounting to about s52O,OO0,-
600, and its train mileage was Al
500, 900 in 1890.
