HIS RACE FOR LIFE.

A cyclist riding through the forest
some miles from Moscow recently had a
terrible adventure with a pack Of
wolves.
After riding a long time, he says, 1
heard a slight sound as of 'yak, yak. "
I stopped and dismounted in order to
listen.
After a while I heard 1t again plainly.
I concluded that it must be a dog bark
ing in some farm yard near.
Mounting again rode on at re-
doubled rate. The only thing that per-
picked me was that the sound came
from behind, but this attributed to
some curious echo.
Soon the sound grew louder, and 1t
was plain that whatever it was it came
from more throats than one. II was
like bark, yet 1t was not the bark of a
dog.
In moment the hideous truth burst
in upon me. The sound was from be-
hind; they were following me;theY were
drawing up on me. They were not dogs.
They were wolves.
For a moment felt as II there were
no power in my limbs. Only by strong
effort managed to work the bicycle at
all. Even In those few seconds OF ter
ror the brutes had measurably APP
preached.
Regaining courage, raced for my
life. l certainly forged ahead little,
but l could not keep up the speed.
Clear and closer, undoubtedly, they
were coming. And now, as the brutes
we're gaining on me. they ceased TO
yelp.
But this was even less endurabls.
To TANK OF death (aud a death so hor-
rible) coming thus, silent and newt
able in the darkness OF the night, In
the midst OF a Russian pine forest!
could now hear the scurrying, pat
tering sound they made IS they sped
over the ground. Sometimes solitary
yelp would break the stiffness, and
once or twice, as II preconcerted, the
whole pack burst into fearful chorus.
The moon was now up, and l could
see, as l locked back, the pack 1000
Yards behind; all but one lean, famished
brute who, with red tongue lollinR out,
was, saw 10 my horror, within ten
yards Of me.
just then the noise Of . torrent burst
on nv ears; a wide. open space in the
centre Of the forest lay before me.
Running through the centre Of it shone
in the moonlight the foaming waters Of
= mountain stream.
Ii lay down In q low but steep ravine,
its rocky bank rising straight to the
height OF ten feet or whereabouts. On
the opposite bank I could see the white
road still continuing. Further on
light beamed out
l shouted loud, but IL only seemed to
set the wolves behind me yelping more
fercely than ever.
But. looking ahead, perceived that
the bridge 10 longer existed. II had
probably been swept away bY some food
in the river.
Desparingly I looked at the light that
lay only few hundred Yards away from
me-that light that promised shelter

Gardens, circuses and small ostrich
farms in California. Some have died or
haoe been accidentally killed on the
farm, so that the herd is now reduced to

IF you care to follow me, will take
you throughout the entire establishment
and show you the process Of manufac-
turing ostriches, from the nest to the
plucking stalls, where the plumes are
gathered, and then you will know all
about the business"
Ny guide led me to the upper por-
ton OF the farm, where there were a
number OF small Enclosures fenced of,
each containing perhaps half an acre
OF ground. The soil was sandy, with a
slight mixture of gravel, but there was
not sprig OF vegetation OF any kind to
be seen. In each of these half-acre
spaces or lots were 8 male and female
ostrich. They had "paired off" from
the main herd and were about to enter
upon the responsibility Of raising a
family Of young, fuffy-coated "chicks"
that would be the envy of all the moth
err ostriches in the colony.
"YOu are just in time to see the
making of the nest" said the superin-
tendent THE hen has found the place
and the old man will build it for her.
This occurs in the farm every day at
this season OF the year, but it is always

of those who were urging Mr.. Joseph's
election as means to statehood; and
now that the campaign is over that paper
continues to see the statehood situation
through glass very darby. The Citi-
zen's ignorance of the New MExIoAN's
position would lead to the suspicion that
it does not read this paper, we're it not
for the fact that an inspection of the
Citizer's columns shows, by reproduction,
its practical appreciation of the good
points IN our news columns.
For the information of the Citizen and
the other Republican and Mugwump
journals which have Indigestion when
ever the Citizen eats a heavy supper, we
beg to say that the New MEXICAN has not
changed its ideas on the statehood ques-
ton one iota. For months we have urged
that Mr.. Joseph's election was the surest
way of obtaining statehood and of OBJ
tanning it promptly. We have said that
we feared the election of Mr.. Catron
would cause the Democratic senate to
postpone indefinitely statehood for New
Mexico. Our position then taken was
conscientious and as far as we can see was
founded on the soundest of premises.
The people, however, by giving Mr.. Cat
ron majority have decided to take the
RISKS; and the NEW MEXICAN, making the
best of bad situation, has since the an
nouncement of the result turned it's atten.
| tion to obtaining statehood against the
overwhelming odds which ill timed judg
ment--mere likely fraud-at the ballot
box has given US.
We do not believe that there is per
| son with any claim to nationality who vii
not say that statehood would be a certain
ty next month, had New Mexico proved
| herself true to the Democracy il
| her vote on November 6. AS the
matter stands, however, the issue before
congress is very, very uncertain. The
NEW MEAlOAN, DeileNiuS pHdt sbdueHooI
will give this territory an impetus from
| which she will be carried forward to great
prosperity, still hopes for statehood and
still works for it with increased zeal. Oul
chief regret is that wnat was a month age
a confident expectation is now, in view OF
Mr.. Joseph's defeat, mere hope. With
Democratic delegate reelected, the
boon of statehood could have been de-
manded from the party in power as a
matter of right. In the present state OF
things it must be sought at She December
session as matter of political expedi-
ency. In either event, the New MEXICAN
is for statehood, first, last and all the
time. Our hope is that the Citizen and
it's political allies will quit mounting over
immaterial issues and will join in this
all-important movement looking to the
territory's welfare.

AN AWKWARD AGENT.

The Citizen really must excuse US, but
we can't help giving it the horse-laugE
over this, which appears as edltorla
leader in its issue on Friday laet:
"New Mexico is gaining steadily in pop
ulation."
Yes; in San Juan county, Eddy and
Chavez counties, at CerriIlos and Gallup
and perhaps Albuquerque 1T has added
few voters to the list over two years ago
lust as has Santa te and Las Vegas, but
the ''gaining steadily population" par
agraph in the Citizen, like the flowers
that bloom in tho spring, has nothing
to do with such increases as these. 1t Ii
an entirely different increase that th
Citizen refers to. Such increases, for in
stance, as are shown in the so-calle'
Hubbell and Perea precincts in Bernal
lilo county, where the result of the lat
election shows a most marvellous In
crease, nearly 1000, and all Of 'em Repub
llcan voters!
The Citizen is very awkward imml

John Sherman warns his party that it
had better refrain from McKinleyism in
the future, j. S. Clarkson of Iowa says
he does not pretend to say the Republi-
cans will never go back to high tariff.
Then the elections did not condemn the
Democratic party's tariff action, for the
law now standing was very moderate
and conservative reform.
Clarkson foresees that the silver ques-
ton "will cut a large figure in the cam
paign Of 1896" If the tariff is not an
issue-if McKlnleyism has been aband-
Quicksilver is the one great pressing
issue left, and the Republican party will
have glorious Kilkenny fight within it's
ranks before it gets down to policy. 1t
has opposed every free coinage bill; it
demonetized silver; 1t passed the coward
ly makeshift which bore John Sherman's
name.
Sherman wishes to be the candidate of
1896 on the financial issue and thrusts
poor Mckinley off the stage. Well, what
will John Sherman represent on the silver
question?-St. Louis Republic.

Grand Canon Of Colorado River.

On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1862 miles from Kansas City, is
the town of Flagstaff. A tri-weekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
a mile in depth, this is the sublimest of
gorges-a Titan of chasms. Twenty
Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than brook.

is no common affair; but is entertainingly

THE NEW MEXICAN AND STATEHOOD.

The New MEXICAN has changed its mind.
1t says the s'idea that Mr.. Joseph's defeat
is wet blanket for statehood is absolute
rot" Before the election it said every
day ON every page that if Joseph was de-
feated the territory could not get admit
ted. Albuquerque Citizen.
It Is something more than a coincidence
that the Citizen is the only paper in the
territory to suggest that the New MEX
loan has been inconsistent in its attitude
toward statehood. The Citizens course
during the campaign just ended showed
that it was consistently incapable, either
by reason of natural defects or Of stub
born unwillingness, to grasp the position

THE hodge pod9e which the Republican
party has given the Union during the
past thirty years termed our financial
system, certainly demands early attention
at the hands of congress. Secretary Carl
isle could employ his time very advan
tageously during the coming year in
formulating comprehensive financial
system to take the place of the existing
statutes, He is as near friend of silver
as there is likely to be in the treasury de-
partment for several years to come.

Annther HseDnhlican View.

The people of both New Mexico and
Arizona should make determined effort
to secure the admission of those terri
tories at the approaching session of con
gress. In each case an enabling act has
passed the house, and the fate of the pro-
posed states lies in the hands of the sem
ate. 1t may be that the result of the
elections will make the Democratic sem
ators Indifferent to the admission of Ar
izona and New Mexico, but it may be
taken for granted that there will be no
opposition on the part of Republicans.
BY opposing these bills the Democrats
would take position Inconsistent with
that occupied by the the house of repre-

The bona Ana Affair.

Dona Ana county has seen about
enough of whiskey and shotgun politics
and has no sympathy to waste on any
man who happens to have got the worst
of the squabble. If the quarreling cam
didates want to have the demerits of their
claims adiudicated, let them go into court
with contests and take the chances of
having all their actions exposed. Let
them find the man who stole or stuffed
the Dona Ana box and send him to pris-
on, and the people may take hand and
send few candidates aud satellites along
to keep him com pany. good dose of
criminal law properly administered
might do much toward purifying politics
in New Mexico.
The stuffing of the Dona Ana box was
unquestionable an outrage upon the few
honest voters, not upon the Republican
candidates and managers who we're so
busy in their own dirty work that they
had no time to prevent it. Their walls
