DURING the first three. tifths O

DURING the first three ffths of
century of the American Gov
ernment labor commanded three
to four bits day, while every ar
ticle of necessity cost three to four
times as much as now. Articles
of luxury were beyond even the
dreams of the family of ordinary
means, of those days. Wheat, hogs
and cattle all sold for less, after
hauling or driving a hundred miles
or so, than they now bring, at the
nearest railway station. Since
then wages have risen, ten men
find employment where one did
before, and the cost of all the ne
cessities of family consumption,
with the exceptions of whisky,
coffee and tobacco, have gone con-
stantly downward. All this has
come about regardless of which
''old party" was in power. But
with the advent of the guerilla
political aggregation of 1899 and
on, there has been a tendency to
reduce wages and the number let
out OF jobs has increased steadily,
owing to the decentralization of ev-
cry line of trade aud industry the
yawp of the leaders of the new
crowd has produced. The condi-
tious of the period first mentioned
were natural and corrected them
selves; those prevailing at present
are largely the result of the battle
made by Populism against the es-
tablished order, to which conserv-
ative and woll balanced society te.

BILE about the waters OF that stream. A
big lawsuit in chancery has been insti.
tuted against the Penasco Reservoir and
Irrigation company, organized three or
four years ago for the purpose OF build
ing large reservoir and furnishing wa
ter to the settlers along the Penasco
river. The company at that time Gu
tered into contract with great num-
Der OF settlers along the river to furnish
them oil tue water they might need to ir-
rigate their lands. Under the condl-
tions OF such contracts great
number of owners OF land along
the river assigned their prior water
rights 10 the company. 1t is now alleged
by the parties who sold their water
rights TO the company at that time tha,
the 80 called Penasco Reservoir and Ir.
rigation company has wholly failed tc
comply with their contract; and IL the
said company is ut this time unable tc
curry out its said contract they ask thai
the deeds which they gave to the com
pany at that time may be declared null
aud void. and that titles TO their prior
water rights may remain undisturbed
They are also suing for large amoun,
OF damages which they claim to hav,
suffered by reason Of said company hay
ing failed to furnish them water to irri
gate their lunds as per contract.

THE WISER COURSE.


table nature connected with it have
gone into the history of foolish or
criminal actions which America
has witnessed during the past sew
enteen years, the railroads will
act wisely in dealing magnani-
mously with their men who may
apply for reinstatement. Many
of the men went out against their
own judgment because it was next
to suicide to attempt to work in
the face of the only tyranny known
or permitted on the American con-
tinent-that of the labor organi-
zation despot. 1t is the part of
discretion to join the strike when
the penalty for disobedience is as
sassination at the hands of ones
fellow workmen, or at the least is
to be designated as "scab" and
ostracised from the society in
which one moves. There are in
the ranks of those whose hands
are hard with daily toll many of
Natures real noblemen--men of
broad minds and responsive con-
sciences and with hearts full of
Christian charity. But they are
in the minority there as in other
walks of life and cannot contend
with the majority who throw away
reason in such time and allow pas
sion to run wild with them, or the
other minority whose animal in
stincLs govern them at all times,
and who likewise are found in oil
walks Of life, from the scavenger's
cart to the pulpit.
1t can be said to the credit of
most railway managements that
they are composed of men who take
very comprehensive views of the
world and what goes to make it up,
understand human nature from its
practical aspect, and are too deep
ly imbued with business ideas to
waste time or energies on schemes
vindictive. Their sole object is
to get their work done. So it is
not probable that the men will be
subjected to any prejudice or dis
advantage worse than their self
imposed loss of time.
The roads may, and in some in
stances most probably will, exact
from the men individual written
contracts on their unemployment.
This will ultimately prove of adj
vantage to both parties if adopted
generally.
AS to whether or not the men
should be required to renounce al
legiance to their organizations,
is question of much importance.
The roads would certainly be war
ranted in requiring remuneration
of the A. X. IT,, which, manipu-

Descendants of MOntezuma.

The action of the Mexican Govern
ment in recognizing the claims of the
Marquis Of Castellanos and other de-
scendants OF the Montezumas by the
payment of annuities, is regarded in
Madrid as partial restitution of Sc
questered estates rather than as pen
sion, as was announced from the City
of Mexico.
The living descendants of the line Of
Mexican kings who were overthrown
by Cortez are connected with the first
nobility of Spain and boast family
tree which reaches back TO the four.
teenth century. They reside at Sala
manca. They have not large for
tune, but possess sufficient means to
enable them to appear at court. Up
to 1850 they received handsome rev,
enues from entailed estates in Mexico,
but the estates were seized by the
Mexican Government and for forty.
three years they have not derived
penny from property to which, as heirs
of Montezuma, they claim to be emit
tied. The present head of the family
is Senior Don Augustin Melconado y
Carbajal Cano Montezuma, Marquis of
Castellanos and of Monroy. The Mar
quis is lawyer, graduated by the
Salamanca University, but he devotes
his time to agriculture and TO q large
factory which he has IN Old CASTLE. -

announces that the bell will be taken
to the continent of Europe for stay
of at least year.
First it will go to England, to be
rung on the historic meadow of Runny-
mede on June Is, 1894, in celebra-
ton by the English speaking world of
the anniversary of the signing of the
Magma Charta. After that it will be
taken to France to participate in ami
versaries connected with political
freedom, and to Germany for the same
purpose, it's next destination being ST.
Petersburg, where it will be rung on
the anniversary of the emancipation
of the serfs.
Next it will go to Italy and thence
to COnstantinople, Jerusalem, Cairo
and thence through Australia, India,
China and Japan, back to the Pacific
coast, making virtually II circuit of the
world. G. S. Knapp, custodian for

wATER-CREss CULTIVATION.

In answer to inquiries, the Farmers
Voice gives the following directions
for growing water cress: Water-cress
requires clear running stream and a
gravelly soil. The roots should be
planted in the spring of the year in
slow-running streams, where the water
is from three to eight inches deep
When the roots are we'll established
the plants will rapidly increase, and,
by their natural process of seed-sow-
ing and spreading of the roots, they
stream. When planted the rows
should be planted with the course of
the stream and about eighteen inches
apart. The plants should always be
cut, not broken off, as breaking them
off is injurious to the plants. After
they have been cut off two or three
times they will begin to stock out or
thicken out, and then the oftener they
are cut the better. When raised from
seeds they should be sown on the mar
gin of the stream, and when of suitable
size transplanted into it, where it is
an inch and half or two deep. The
most suitable time for sowing is in the
months of April, May and June There
are said to be three varieties of water
cress- namely: the green-leaved,
which is considered to be the easiest to
cultivate; the small brown-leaved,
which is thought to be the hardest,
and the large brown-Ieaved, which is
said to be the best for deep water.
