Railroad Racket From Albuquerque.

A representative of the Citizen had an
interview few days ago with one OF the
most prominent railroad men in the
United States-one who is probably as
we'll informed in all such matters as any
other man in America--and from him
obtained good deal OF information In
regard to railway affairs that is interest
ing to the public at large, aud some that
is Of especial interest to the people of
this immediate locality.
Referring to the current stories about
contemplated movements by the Rock
Island in this direction, we were in
formed, in effect, that all such reports
are utterly groundless; there is not one
of the big companies in the United States
to-day but what has already moro miles
OF road than 1t knows what to do with,
and the idea of the Rock Island building
through to this point from the Indian
Territory and buying the Atlantic & Pa
cihc is too ridiculous to be seriously
mentioned. The only present concern
OF the great roads is how to take care OF
whnt mileage they already have and il
would be impossible for any OF them TO
raise money 20 build any new road ex-
cept such very short branches as promise
10 give immediate and big returns by
bringing in traffic that would help TO
make the rest Of the line pay.
The railway policy heretofore has been
10 build the road aud then wait for the
traffic to grow up to it, but this policy
has been reversed and you can't get th 10
money to build mile OF road till the
traffic Is in sight
The only exceptions 10 this rule are
found in the cases OF few compare.

Editor EAGLE: On the evening OF May
2nd Lincoln's fine and spacious school
house was filed with well dressed town
and country folks, oil gathered there to
witness the closing exercises of nine
months term of the Lincoln public
schools. The handsome toilettes Of the
ladies present, together with the bright
faces OF the pupils and the vari colored
decoration OF the school room, radiant
with beautiful flowers Of exquisite fra.
GRANGE, these latter from the gardens of
the town, made the scene one OF beauty
and good taste, giving pleasure to all
present. The program Of the evenings
entertainment consisted Of recitations,
dialogues, music, vocal and instrumental,
speeches etc by the pupils, all of which
were rendered In manner exceedingly
creditable to them and spoke volumes In
praise OF their worthy teachers.
In this short item OF news special men,
tion cannot be made Of all the pupils who
excelled in the different parts allotted
TO them. But 1 cannot refrain from
mentioning some OF them. The rendi-
tion Of the beautiful May day celebration

May Queen, surrounded by the youth
and beauty OF the town and country,

The recitation by Miss Manuelits Sena

PROPHETS OF EVIL.

Atlanta Constitution: Governor Lew
elling of Kansas is tickling the ears Of
his fellow Populists with all sorts of hor-
rible predictions.
The Governor declares that the Coxey
m ovement Is the forerunner OF revolu-
tion which is to start Immediately after
the fall elections. In the coming up,
heaval the Shylock millionaires and their
property will be destroyed and assassina-
ton and incendiarsm will be the order
OF the day.
A man with brains and influence
enough to reach the Governors chair in
Kansas ought to be ashamed OF suoh
wild talk. The social revolution he pre-,
diets can never occur in nation of home
owners. We may have our seasons OF
discomfort and depression, but nine our
of ten OF our citizens are on the side OF
law and order. They are not afraid o
starvation. II they cannot get work al
high wages they will accept what is off
cred and wait for better times. They
have no enmity toward the rich. and il
is an insult to them to predict that they
will become assassins and incendiaries
The prophets Of evil give the public
that tired feeling SO common In the
spring. II they would work their jaws
less and their hands more the country
would soon get rid OF hard times.

The Pecos Valley road will be built to
Albuquerque just as soon as it can get
here.
The local prospects in the vicinity of
Albuquerque were never moro encourag
ing. And this opinion is not based upon
the wishes OF parties who have town
lots to boom, but reflects the views of
men who understand what they are talk
ing about and know what is going on in
the railway world Albuquerque Citizen.

CoXEy and Crisp had a short
and sharp interview in regard to
the formers proposition to address
the multitude from the steps of
the Capitol, and the privilege was
not granted. There are many rea-
sons to sustain the Speakers ac-
ton. The "Commonwealers" went
there ostensibly as least as a civ
ing, breathing, petition" to Con-
gress, asking for Legislation in
their own interests and should
have come at that body as other
representatives of particular inter
ests do-get audiences with proper
committees of the Houses. But
without attempting this method
the notoriety seekers first move
ment was to attempt to address q
crowd, which he hoped to attract,
that had no connection with law
making. Did he expect the men,
bers of the two Houses to come
out on the steps to listen to a ha-
rangue which he wished to pour
on the wild winds to be carried to
the ends of the earth for-Coxey's
glory? The crowd he leads have
the common rights of American
citizens, and no more. The fact
that man is out a job is unfortu-
nate for him and to degree the
community; but does not add to his
Importance as citizen, nor make
it the duty of the Government to
do for him what it would not do for
other citizens. This is said from
the Democratic standpoint that
the Government was not organized
as All eleemosynary institution, nor
to become contractor for the con-
struction of works not needed, and
that if needed should be left to
private and independent enterprise
Save us from the time when the
Government shall have become an
employer of common labor, and
the party in power its political ma
nipulator. AS to going to Wash
ington, there can be no doubt oI
any mans right TO if he has means
wherewith to go and support him
self; but to go son the country" is I
different matter. What is given L
the first ''army" as a contribution il
likely to be demanded by the mex
as "a right. Then trouble is to b'
looked for. Crisp was right, anC
Congress will be right in hearinl
them only in the regular way.

TIE Democratic party believes
that every man should have an
equal show in the race for success.
During the period of its ascend
uncy prior to the war Of the REBEL
ion this was country of individ-
uals and contentment and pros
perity were the rule, not the excep-
ton. If wages were not SO high,
yet the laborer was his own master,
what he earned was his. Then
there was not such an aggregate of
capital invested i'll manufacturing,
but every mechanic might be a
manufacturer, and every village
heard within its own walls the mu-
sic of shop and mill. Then the
farmer titled his few acres which
his Drawn had reclaimed from the
"forest primeval" with crude, old
fashioned implements, but was
happy in his humble station and
the idea of wlnt mover crossed his
mind. But there came change,
The fortune of politics turned tho
country over to the young and en-
thusiastio Republican party which
looked upon the Democratic party,
conservative through decades of
experienced las old fogyish. They re-
solved to do away with the day of
small things and enter upon All era
of brilliant achievements. They
inaugurated the policy OF protec-
ton, which with the earlier Dem
ocrats had been a temporary expe-
dent to be employed for the en-
couragement of such industries as
required maternal nourishment to
enable them to gain strength
TO stand alone, as the fixed system
of the country, irrespective of the
needs of the interests protected.
Under this scheme gigantic COM
binations of capital swept the in
dustrial field, drove the small man
ufacturer out of business, and de-
stroyed the independence of labor,
which was made subservient to
capital. At the same time vast are as
of the public lands were bestowed
on great railway corporations that
abused the advantages which had
been given them to the detrlment
of tho people. The same was true
in other things, the whole period
of Republican supremacy being
simply the era of the encroaoh-
ment of corporate capital on indi-
vidual interests and rights in
briefer terms, the industrial ex-
tinction OF the individual. The
Democratic endeavors to undo tho
evil which has become so firmly
rooted necessarily make slow head
way against the powerful opposi-
ton encountered. Thus it stands
with the old parties. And the re.
turn to the principles of the faith
ers Of the Republic is also hindered
by the Populists who with theil
socialistic doctrines would make
the Government one monstrou'
monopoly that should swallow NJ
everything else. Can the vote

At a meeting of the British Meteoro.

showing the effects of electricity upon
steam. 1t is well known fact that the
shadow Of a jet of steam cast upon any
white background under ordinary cir
cumstances is of feeble intensity and of
neutral tint. But. however, if the Jet
be given a discharge of electricity Just
at the moment when it comes in contact
with the air, the density of the shadow
Is amazingly increased as a result of con-
densation, and it assumes u peculiar
orange brown hue with lines and waves
merging into inlsy blackness.
Mr.. Bidwell, the only person to my
knowledge who has ever made these ex-
periments scientifically, suggests that
the electricity promotes IA coalescence of
the exceedingly minute particles of wa
ter contained in the jet of steam, thus
forming drops large enough to obstruct
the more refrangible rays of light, but
why the color of the shadow should
change from neutral to shades of at least
three well defined colors he does not at
tempt to explain. From one of his late
articles l gather ideas which point to the
intense blackness of thunderclouds be-
ing due to similar causes.-St. Louis Re

While averse to drawing the attention
of our readers to any advertisement which
partakes OF medical character, we feel
more than justified in overriding this OBJ
lection with respect to the announcement
in this issue Of the coming visit Of DIR.
Darrin to this city.
This far famed physician late from
Paris, London and New York;, who has
achieved such a great reputation through.
out the coast, and the northwest, has
been prevailed upon, through the urgent
request OF many in this vicinity to visit
North Yakima, as they could not afford
by their time and business, 10 consult
him at his Offices in Tacoma and Port.
lana. The doctor has at last consented
TO visit this city, to accommodate the
afflicted, and will have his office at the
Anterior Hotel for a short time only
January IL to rs. Those wishing to con-
suit with the doctor will find it to their
advantage to call on him while here.
He comes to US laden with testimonials
from throughout the whole northwest
and the authentic reports of some OF his
cures seem nothing short of miracles. Sc
many thousands are already acquainted
with his mode of treatment, it seems
necessary only to say that he uses little
er no medicine in the majority Of cases,
and perfects his cures by the wonderful
power OF electromagnetic.
The are few ills to which the human
flesh is heir. which cannot be relieved
and generally permanently cured by Dr.
Darrin's electromagnetic treatment, and
cases that have resisted the efforts OF or.
binary physicians have yielded to his
N. A
power. These cases embrace almost every
KIND OF disease, and, as said before; no
man, woman or child need despair Of re-
liyf, and cure while DIR. Darrin offers his
Invaluable services.
Unlike other physicians who have be-
come eminent In their profession the
doctors charges are extremely moderate
and reasonable, according to circumstan-
