THE DRINK HABIT.

Do Americans drink ~ deeply Of alco-
holic stimulants - they did ten years agof
Foreign observers agree that We do not
drink as intemperately a. formerly. The
leading journals Of the Atlantic seaboard
agree that the decrease in drinking II ap-
parent in all classes. Politicians and com.
mercial travellers at the North drink far
less than they did twenty years ago. At
the South the drinking habits of . past
generation still survive, and her politicians
and business men drink more than tho
same classes do at the North, but even at
the South there IL . vast change from the
days when Bob Toombs, Of Georgia,
marred his fine talents BY his intemper-
ance.
It II easy to explain this decline in
drinking; It IL due something to the vast
improvement in public manners, which
forbids intemperance ~ ''bad form :" It IL
due something to the larger diffusion Of
accurate medical knowledge concerning
the pernicious effects Of alcoholism. and 1t
IL due most Of oil to the hostile attitude
maintained BY business men against the
practice Of tippling on the part Of their
employees. The great steam and water
transportation companies give their en-
ployes to understand that incorporate
drinking will not be tolerated, and mer.
chants and men Of business do not long
retain the services Of drinking" men.
Intemperate drinking 10 not 20 common
on the Pacific coast as it 10 on the Atlantic
seaboard, or ct least there 10 not 90 much
public intoxication. Doubtless our climate
helps N something In the matter of in
temperance. In wide sense America 10
gradually learning that it il neither good
manners. good morals nor good sense to
drink to excess: social America sternly re-
Dukes 1t and industrial America 10 finding
out that hard drinking doesn't pay.
Here We have the enormous public
opinion that We call the decent opinions Of
mankind arrayed against the drink habit;
the social tyranny Of fashion 10 against il,
and the force Of self-interest Il ranged
against it The vanity Of young men 10
touched when they zee that society and
fashion frown on intempsrancs; and they
soon find out that good employer don't
want tipping servants when they can o.
cure sober employees.

sEArTLE. FRIDAY. APRIL ..
rae stats LAND COMMISSION.

The sction Of Attorney General Jones in
refusing 70 approve the bond Of I. n.
Reed. r., - . member Of the state land
commission seems most extraordinary.
The bill creating the land commission pro-
vides that the bonds Of the commissioners
shall b approved by the secretary Of
state and the attorney general. The evi-
dent intent Of the oct was that the officials
named should simply pass upon the
sufficiency and legal validity Of the bonds
submitted.
Whether the bill in question IL constitu-
tional or not II matter for the courts and
not for Mr.. Jones to decide. As the legal
adviser Of the state, It should be his duty
TO defend the legality Of the acts
Of the legislature and not to seek
20 discTedit them in advance.
After the commission 10 organised they
could and doubtless would ask his advice
and Be- guided by IL. As It Il. however, his
opinion that the bill 10 unconstitutional
was both uncaIled for and premature.

COMING IN HORDES.
Northern Prospectors Pouring in to
Spend the Winter in New Mex
icO'S Sunny Cline.

George NJ. Bascom, of Pitkin, Colo,
Edward Kronner, of Breckenridge, Colo,
and dozen or more miners and pros
pectors have been in the city for several
days getting data on New Mexico mining
camps. They came by private convey
ance from Colorado and state that the
roads between Colorado and this territory
are kept hot just now with prospectors
in search of gold mines and better eli
mate. These. .prospectors have tired of
spending their winters in Colorado, Mon
tana, Utah and other northern states,
where heavy SHOWS make it next to i'm.
possible to prosecute their labors, and
having heard of the salubrity of New
Mexico's climate the year around, and
the vast expanse of unprospected coun-
try in this territory they are here to try
their luck.
Mr.. Bascom states that thousands of
prospectors and miners are now headed
for New Mexico and will scour the terri
tory in search of gold fields chiefly,
though silver and copper will be by no
means sighted. eff there is any camp
that shows signs of boom this winter"
said Mr.. Bascom, "you can wager that it
will catch the northern fellows. They are
coming here to find gold and stay with it,
and as most of them are pretty we'll fixed
and are sober, earnest men, New Mexico
may consider herself in luck to get
them"

1t was learned at the district clerks
Office this morning, that the November
term of Territorial court would not be
held in San Miguel county, for the reason
that there is not enough money in the
county's court fund to oil the machine.
There is only about $1,000 available and
it has been estimated that this amount
would run the judicial mill only four
days, two of which would be required to
complete the panel of the jurors. How
ever, the United States court will be held.

At special meeting of tho board of

and concurred in by the district attorney,
the order was made providing that the
county assessor be paid pro-rata from the

been the custom heretofore, paying the
whole commission of the assessor from
the current expense fund. 1t is under
stood that the maj GRITTY of the counties of
the territory are paying upon this basis
and it will be of considerable relief to the
expense fund of this county.-Deming

A MYSTERIOUS SURVEY.
Some Further News About That New
Railroad from TaOs-Headed
for Santa Fe.

As heretofore announced in these
columns, Mr.. W. D. Cameron, of New
York, has surveying party in the field
running lines for a new railroad from
Maxwell City across the mountains to
Amizett and Taos.
From the latter point comes the ncws
to-day to the effect that this mysterious
survey is to be run both west and south
from Taos valley, one arm to go toward
Durango, Colo, and the other to come
south to Santa Fe. This much has been
learned despite the secretive methods of
Chief Engineer e. H. Smith and his sur
veyors. Members of the party were in
Taos on Tuesday last to purchase
camp supplies and said they had
found several very feasible routes
across the Taos mountains; and
that a road of easy gradients had been
located via Elizabethtown as far west as
Taos pass. They expected to finish the
survey of that, the first division, by Mon
day next. The distance from Maxwell
City to Taos by this route is only eighty
miles. From Taos the survey is to be
run westward and south with view to
building line into this city. The dis
lance from Taos to Santa Fe they expect
to cover within fifty miles, coming down
Taos creek.
