The Nearness Of the Nay Of judgment.

The Nearness Of the Day Of Judgment.
Lieutenant G. A. L. Totten, in refer
ring to the big spots on the sun now visi-
BILE, says:
This is the time of the eleventh stroke
of the midnight hour, and it is signifi-
can't of the universal financial stress.
The appearance of the extraordinary
spots upon the golden face of the sun
fittingly synchronizes with those days
upon which congress meets in extra ses-
sion to discuss the silver situation.
There il serious responsibility rest
ing upon the men who constitute this
prelude to the Fifty third congress, and
all the inhabitants of this land OF Ma.
nasseh will watch their votes with re.
lentless determination to Judge them in.
diyidually according to their deeds.
The day Of Judgment is at hand.
But all who now resist the spirit of re
pentance will be in an evil way not tot
| long hence. Boston Globe.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 25. Present de-
velopments in the situation between the
Big Four Railroad company and its
men indicate that gigan ito strike 10 a
matter of only very short time, per-
haps two days at the longest. An en-
gineer on the Chicago division said that
the men on all OF the lines are well or
ganixed for concerted action, and that
trouble will bs avoided only by the
company agreeing to compromise. II
is known that President ingalls,, assisted
by General Superintendent Van Wrinkle,

needed to take the places Of the proba-

1t seems The DAILY LEADER was mig
taken the other day in it's inference that
a Presbyterian minister could not be a
democrat, in reference to the e. S. Wal
lace appointed as consul to Turkey.
The Aberdeen News OF the 22d says:
Rev. Ed s. Wallace, OF the Presbyteri-
an church, who was an applicant for the
consulate at Jerusalem in the Holy
Land, learned yesterday afternoon by
wire from Senator Kyle that the presi-
dert had appointed him to Sivas, Turkey.
While rather disappointed that the ap-
pointment to Jerusalem was not open to
him. Rev. Wallace is not by any mears
certain that he will not accept the dis
tinguished honor which has been con-
ferred upon him. The position pays
$1,000 per annum or thereabouts. The
claims OF Mr.. Wallace were presented
and recommended to the president by
Senator Kyle, Hon. Bartlett Tripp and
others FROM this state and Pennsylvania,
Mr.. Wallace's old home. Senator Kyle
probably did most for him.
Sivas is trading city OF Asia Minor
with a population OF thirty or forty
thousand people-Turks and Armen-
ians The climate is healthy and the
scenery attractive. 1t location is not sc
far distant from Jerusalem and many
that could not be reached quite easily
and for this reason and others Mr.. Wal
lace may conclude to accept the Office
Mr.. Wallace's many friends will bt
pleased to congratulate him upon hit
new honor.

A DEBAUCHERY ENDED.

The Union Pacific railway is at last
thrown into the hands of a receiver. 1t
was built through government aid as
public necessity, not only of economic
but military Importance. The whole
people bore the burden of its costly con-
struction. From almost the start it has
been mismanaged in the interest of the
Gould family. Its purpose as public
benefactor has been lost sight of. Now
that the government through its director
ate may resume control let the change be
thorough. The road should be remodeled
to its first purpose. A great opportunity
presents itself to wise craftsmanship.

PRESERVE the FORESTS,

There is now pending in congress
general measure of forest reservation.
Its particular provisions are unknown;
but as general proposition nothing is
of more importance to the arid region.
The mountain forest is the natural reser-
voir. 1t preserves unmelted and without
evaporation the winter SHOWS. Take for
instance the Santa Fe and Nambe water
sheds. The first is verdurous forest.
The second has little more protection
than is given from so many telegraph
poles. On the first the water comes
down gradually during the crop season.
On the latter it is merely spring flood.
If the best conditions for irrigation are
therefore to be preserved SO must be the
forests. A law that will preserve the
mountains from ruthless invasions of the
lumbermen will be of untold benefit. 1t
will make water storage easy, preserve
the splendid climate of New Mexico, and
keep necessary store OF timber for gen.
er ations yet unborn.

A New Rival for Alfalfa.

The Sheeney field-pea is crop that has
never, so far as we know, been tried in
this valley. 1t is raised extensively in
Mississippi, and other southern states,
and is there considered the best and most
profitable forage crop that can be grown.
1t is sown broadcast in April, and will
mature in about three and half months,
making an average of twenty bushels of
kernels, and two tons of hay to the acre.
Stock of all kinds are very fond of both
the kernel and the vine, and it is very
nutritious. Mr.. Il. L. Wildly, an old Mis-
sissippi farmer, will put in several acres
of these peas here next spring, and we
predict that the crop will prove success.
If it, in any measure, approaches the
growth attained in Mississippi, it will
prove to be more profitable crop than
our hitherto unequalled alfalfa.-Roswell
