The Relation of Citizenship to Temper.
ance.

The most conspicuous object in Am.
erican social and political life today is
the saloon. What does it stand for in its
relation to our interests as citizens? Is
it an aid or an hindrance to the benefits
which ought to accrue from association
together as units in one cohesive life?
There eau be but one answer. The sa
loon let's loose upon our land forces
which, 30 far from aiding us in the pre-
servation OF our inalienable rights,
threaten their total destruction. The
poverty, misery, crime and desolation OF
our land may be traced, in an over.
whelmingly large proportion, directly to
to that source as its fountain. head. From
those baleful doors there issues nothing
that tends to upliit society, but rather
to its downfall and total disintegration.
This being the case, what is clearly the
relation OF citizenship to the saloon?
There can be but one, and that is OF alb.
solute, unhinching hostility. By all that
endears to us our homes aud loved ones;
by all that fires us with the flames Of
true patriotism; by oil that inspires ua
with the hope Of nobler future, the cit.
izen Of this land aud age should take his
stand against that which is the greatest
foe to his true citizenship.
And this means something more than
theory aud resolution; something more
than personal total abstinence in tho in
diyidual 1t means active, uncompromis'
, ing hostility to the knife. We may
be saints OF immaculate whit,ness IN

Work is to be resumed soon on the
Rip Van Wrinkle, of which Col. Prichard
is the local preventative, This claim,
as has been stated before, has two shafts
so and Is feet deep respectively, with
drifts aggregating 100 feet running north
and south from the so feet shaft. In
both these drifts ore is found with good
indications that sufficient development
will open up body that will at once
make it payer and set another mill at
work. Milling ore has been taken out
in the progress of the prospecting.
A local expert who knows every rock
in the gulch and and is perfectly famil-
lar with the formations of the camp, has
recently inspected the works on the Rip
and gives very encouraging opinion as
to the advisability of pushing work on
the drifts.
This property lies just north of the
North Homestake, and the expert re-
ferred to pronounces the ore of the
same body. The latter NINE is one of
the richest in all the southwest, as a gold
producer pure and simple, and the Rip
Van Winkle is apparently, almost GER
tainly, the northern extension of the
same rich body. With capital to 60 into
the ground here there is undoubtedly
good thing ahead for the owners.

Homicide at PenasoO.

On the night of the 26th ut. Robert
MCGEE, a ranchman living near Upper
Penasco, this county, shot and killed a
young man named Ferd. Chatfield under
circumstances that make the death sad
one and lead one to wonder whether
mans life is to be held as of less value
than few apples in the estimation of
rightly constituted people.
1t appears that McGee who is single
man and lives alone, had been annoyed
by persons rading his apple orchard,
aud had threatened to kill tho first man
he caught in the orchard. On the even
ing in question, after supper, he took
gun and posted himself to watch his
trees. Soon he heard some one in the
orchard, and fired. He heard heavy
fall and then some one running away.
He went into tho house and went TO bed.
Through the night he heard groans, but
did not go out to investigate, claiming
to have been afraid Of a trap laid for
him. In the morning he went out and
found Chatfeld dead, lying ten yards
from where he was when shot, the ball
having passed through his body.
The companion OF the unfortunate man
either was afraid TO return TO his assist
ance, or had taken him to the orchard to
have him killed.
Chatfield did not live in the neighbor-
hood, but over the Sacramento mount
aims, and had only that day come across.
Whether he knew OF McGees threat is
not known.
Interest in the killing is intensified by
the fact that the victim OF McGee's shot
was an important witness in the case
against the muiderers OF fanchman Hi
ton on the Sacramento last winter. But
1t is not probable, 30 far as known here,
that McGee was concerned in that aud
knew whom he was shooting nt The
more plausible theory lie that the party
who led the man TO his death and left
him 90 die alone was interested and took
this means Of getting him removed.
Opinion In the ueighborhood in regard
TO McGees action is much divided, some
iusiifyipg and Others blaming him. He
was placed 81 900 bond TO appear before
the grand jury.

The crime of Hon. j. f. Hinkle
seems to be that he would encour-
age immigration and capital to
come into the Territory by offering
reasonable inducements to such as
come. His enemies are the enem-
les of enterprise. They fight it
and would keep capital out of New
Mexico's fertile valleys. But with
the friends of progress, men who
would build up the Territory, Mr..
Hinkle is the type of man for the
times. If the property of a corpor-
alton should be exempted by law
from taxation for such a time as
would enable it to develop a
business to sustain an enterprise
that would add ten millions value
and ten thousand people to our
wealth and population Wlthlh the
time of exemption, would not the
Territory be clean gamer by that
muchp Would one cent be added
to the taxes of the people already
here by such actionp If not, the
kick is kick from the mere nature
of the animal and not for a worthy
purpose. New Mexico at this
time needs the kind of men as law
makers who will use their inhu-
ence toward the development of
the soon-to-be state and not
against it. j. f. Hinkle should
be and will be elected to the assem-
bly, by the wide awake and enter
prising people Of the Southeast,
who are true friends of PROGRESS
Moss backs should stand off the
track.

eleventh level 140 feet north from the

in Paris. All over the continent it
seems that the wholesale destruction
of the small insect-cating birds, by

done great damage to agriculture, and

Therefore. the minister for foreign
affairs, mt the solicitation of leading
agriculturalists, has entered into ne
Potiations for the meeting of an inter.
national congress to devise measures
for the protection Of inscctivorous
birds. Switzerland, Spain, Sweden,

POISONS IN HISTORY.

SIXTEEN Chinese emperors are report
ed to have died of poison.
NEARLY forty Turkish sultans' and
Arabian ca1iphs died by poison.
UNTIL the English occupation, poi
soning was very common in India.
HEMLoCK poison was a Greek mode
of execution. Socrates died thus.
NERO tried to poison himself to es-
cape execution, but the dose was not
sufficient.
THE To1fania poison was described in
a papal bull as "arsenics distilled in
aqua fortis.''
NEARLY two hundred Greek generals
and statesmen are named who COM
mitted suicide with poison.
CHARLES II. of England is supposed
by some historians to have been poi
soned by jealous mistress.
DURING the middle ages poisoning,
especially in Italy, was regarded Us an
entirely justifiable means of getting rid
of an enemy.
VEIoNEsE, the painter, was poisoned
by an angry mistress of noble birth,
whose name he had cloudcd byuboast-
ing of his familiarity with her.
