WAY OF DOING THINGS.

In a company of gentlemen a few days
ago II was asserted, as sort Of finality.
We'll, think when a man has done his
duty, he has done all he can do" Right
off, another responded: Il don't know.
There's a way Of doing things" And
we all know It. One OF the most I'M
comfortable people in the world TO have
about you is hard, cold bleak and steely
Individual that keeps a very accurate
book ard account OF all his doings and
things, his debts and credits, who can
always show you that he has paid you
every cent he owes you, and that you
have no right or claim against him.
The heaven OF such people is probably
in the Arctic regions. One would think
that their sepulchres ought to be In bank
vaults. sid, by side with old ledgers ard
settled accounts and balance sheets. OF
course they are all right. and that's all.
When they get out of our way we feel
like saying:
Thou being gone. I am a man again."
Duty may be made a very mean. selfish
thing Man is not spindle made to re-
volve around his own axis, regardless Of
others. We are members one Of another,
non nobis solum. And the man who runs
on his own account simply is like tree
stripped Of all its leaves, without any
roots or branches. bare pole. an icicle.
II was the vileness of the old Pharisees
that they made duty odious. They thought
by reason and they felt by rule. and had
their reward in a miserable despicable
li,e that devoured widows houses and
made long dreary dutiful prayers-ful

mistake, committed often by very good

disagreeably. They hate to say no, and
just because they hate TO do it, they do

The principles and precepts Of Chris
tianity are Identical with what we call the
laws and ways Of nature. Natural law
is but a manifestation Of the spiritual
world All are double, one over against

law Of love- Every principle and precept
of the Gospel has its counterpart In natu-

The ways of nature handsomely Illus

the True and the Beautiful are Natures

glorify her. Goodness, beauty and assur-
ance are seen everywhere in the Divine
work. He hath made the world by his
power. the water established by his wis
dom and stretched out the heavens by
his discretion. The teachings Of all the
works of Nature are: Be ye perfect; do
what you have to do pleasantly. hand
somely, literally, gracefully.
The devil knows how to make himself
popular. 1t was said Of one Of his adhe-
rents:

Think him a great way fool-solely

Yet these fixed evils sit so Mt in him
That they take place when Virtues steely

On the other hand, every man who loves
duty and virtue owes It to them to make
them amiable and agreeable; in other
words, to let his light SO shine before
men that they may recognize 1t as from
the source Of all good and be moved to
glorify Him.

THE DRAIN ON OUR GOLD.

be? There can be but one answer. Ii is
because Europe has finally awakened to
the fact that there is a large and i'm

is beginning TO understand that IL this

A MAGNIFICENT GIFT TO THE UNI
VERSITY.

be found a full account OF the endowment
by Mrs. Linden Kent. of Washington,
OF chair at the University OF Virginia.
to be known as the Linden Kent Memo
rial Chair Of English Literature" Many
Of the readers OF The Times will recall
Mr.. Kent as a student at the University
Of Virginia, where he displayed an ability
and character that foreshadowed his hon
orable and distinguished career. He died
too early for his country's good, but he
lived long enough to fulfill all the pre-
dictions Of his college life. He was an
alumnus OF whom the University may
well feel proud, and 1t Is most approprl-
ate that his name should be ever linked
with his alma mater in the beautiful
memorial which has just been established
by Mrs. Kent's generous gift. She was
not content as some are, to make provis-
ions In her will, but she has, with a
promptness supported by her affection
and tender regard. acted in her life time
Such a graceful deed. done in such a
manner, shows a high type of woman.
The University may well congratulate
itself upon the addition Of another de-
partment Of learning. The only limita-
ton upon the extension of its field Of
usefulness is the lack OF funds to carry
out the wishes and purposes Of the fac
ulty. This obstacle must be. in great
measure, removed by the generosity Of
those who are blessed with wealth and a
willing heart. Let us hope that the ex-
ample Of Mrs. Kent Will inspire others
to do likewise, for, after all, how can we
use our wealth to better advantage than
by aiding in such work, where the good
results will be for all time?

Secretary Of the Treasury Foster has
caused to be published decision which he
has made on the subject Of issuing the
souvenir coins while the fair grounds are
open Sundays for visitors. He says: "A
question has been recently raised as to
whether the terms OF the law providing
for the closing Of the exhibition on Sun
day have been complied with. and that
question was submitted to the Solicitor
Of the Treasury, who decided that the
Exposition has not yet been formally
opened. and that the statute has not
therefore been violated"
II is remarkable that no one but Shepard
the Pharisee and Quay the corrupt. should
have imagined that the Sunday closing
act would take effect before the opening
day Of the Fair, May 1. 1898.

The Republican papers are trying to
veneer Mr.. Hayes character over with
his goodness as a man. 1t will not do.
Mr.. Hayes accepted the Presidency know
ing that 1t had been stolen for him. and
he will go down to posterity as the man
who got possession Of the highest office
in the gift of the American people by
fraud. Truth is unrelenting in asserting
itself, and Mr.. Hayes must take the con-
sequences of his act. He had the oppor-
tunity Of writing his name high up in
the temple of fame by refusing TO accept
the stolen goods. but he did not have
strength Of character enough to resist the
temptation by which he was assailed. and
he fell with a great fall. from which his
memory will never recover.

THE COLORADO TRIP,

There appears very general DISPOSE
ton on the part of the assemblymen to
accept the invitation of the Colorado
state legislature to visit Denver in body.
There is much to be said in favor Of such
acceptance from utilitarian standpoint,
aside from its features of personal en-
joyment. Colorado is our neighbor and
friend. Just now when New Mexico is
seeking SO earnestly for admission to the
sisterhood of states, Colorado is most
friendly, and is inclined to do all in her
power to help US attain that prosperous
goal, hence this invitation to visit the
state assembly now in session at Denver.
On the other hand the Colorado legisla-
ture promises to return the courtesy and
come at some early date to visit the New
Mexico assembly. Such trip would
prove one of mutual enlightenment and
would go very long way toward stimu-
lating that very neighborly feeling which
the Coloradans have been always pleased
to express toward this long neglected
and all unjustly abused territory and it's
people.

An Excellent Law,

Fl. B. No. 1O8, introduced by Mr.
Hinkle, the passage of which by both
houses, was announced in our kilograms
of last evening, provides that no law
! officer of the territory shall release any
official from the obligation to account
for moneys in his hands; and that no
compromise shall be legal with either
the principals or the sureties except full
payment, and if any such compromise is
attempted to be made, the territory may
sue for the full amount at any time
within four years after such compro-
mise.
This is as 1t should be. Every man who
goes on the bond of an official should do
so with the full knowledge that if said
official shall default in any amount, be it
great or small, his bondsmen must make
it good. AS it is now, the bonds of the
--arious officials of the counties of New
Mexico are generally the merest straw
bonds imaginable. Men will go on diff
ferent bonds, for varying amounts, the
aggregate sum of which will be two or
three times, often ten times, and some
times as much as twenty or thirty times
what the individual is worth, should he
be sold out and his effects bring the high
est price that even the owner could put
upon them. Of course, this makes such
bonds the merest farce.
New Mexico has suffered from strait
ened financial circumstances for years,
the two chief causes being looseness in
collecting and want of responsibility on
the part of those handling public moneys
This new law strikes at the roots of the
first of these eyils.-Las Vegas Optic.

LIBERAL LEGISLATION.

The legislative council appears to be
in favor of encouraging railway construc-
ton in New MexiSs by exempting all
new roads from taxation for eight years
after completion. This is move in the
right direction; it is in marked contrast
to the narrow sentiment now prevalent
in Colorado, Texas, Kansas and other
western states, for it shows that those
who have been chosen by the people as
law makers for New Mexico are not
afraid of treating even the railways
fairly. We opine that if the bill now
pending in the council becomes law it will
prove of great benefit to New Mexico
both at home and abroad.

The 9Th annual report of the cattle
