OBJECTS TO OUR SHAPE.

Every man Is supposed to know his
own business best, and Messrs. Ward
vel! j. Thompson have right to
publish the only nine column paper in
the state, II they want to. But 1t
makes us tired whenever 1t comes, it's
SO unhandy and spreadS out like hen
setting on thirty-five eggs. Just about
the time we began to ODen It up, some
one rings the phone and down It goes,
and then there's another tussle. There
is so much good matter In The Pro.
NEER EXPRESS, we must read 1t, but
1t would be vastly more pleasant II It
was quartO instead of felfo.-Forum.
The criticisms of the Forum rs to
size are correct, but we cannot but
feel complimented when SO good and
so distinguished a newspaper critic
complains of ITS Inconvenience, not
Of course on account of the incon-
venience, but because 1t wouldn't be
incOnvenient II thrown aside without
reading.
The matter Of change In form has
been subject of reconsideration by the
publishers for some time, and some
time the change may occur; for
quarto has advantages over a folio in
some ways; on the other hand, we
think the Forum has In its very next
editorial paragraph, with one cxcep-
tton. given our own reasons for not
changing, as follows:
The Forum Is small, 1t cannot afford
to be larger, but there is not dark
spot 10 the paper. Only four pages,
one place In the paper just as plainly
seen as another. An nd. in a blanket
sheet Of twelve or twenty pages Is like
hiding q pine tree in the center of u
big oak forest, out of sight. The For
um's advertising rates are from 20 to
40 per cent higher than other papers
accept, but every line in The Forum
counts, 1t can be found and its readers
arc Of o class that know good thing
when they seeit. The Forum reaches
every class all over the state.-FOrum.
The weight Of the above argument
Is not In the statement that the For
UNI is small, because 1t could bc made
larger. without detracting materially
from the perspIcuity of the ads, but
1t Is because it is a four.page paper.
We believe column ad. in a four
page paper is worth more to the ad.
vertiser than page nd. in an eight
page paper. On the other hand, SO
far as the printer is concerned, q
quarto form gives lots Of opportunities
flor head Of column next to reading
matter" ads, the worthlessness of
which, under some circumstances, no
body understands so well as the print.
er.
We have another reason, not men.
TONED by the Forum, for being slow
to change and that is, THE PIONEER
EXPRESS is now nearing the close Of
Its XIV volume; two-thirds or moro of
Its subscribers have been on its list
since or before 1882, they are used to
the form and its makeup, they know
lust where to turn their eyes when
they open the paper to look for their
favorlte department, and like the old
woman. whose petticOats were abbrc.
Waited when asleep by the roadside.
We are afraid the little dog would
scarcely know US when we went home.
But, as We said, the change Will|
probably come, In time. We have said

"Under the Wheel"
MRS. FRANCES MILNE.

MRS. FRANCES MILNE.
A m~easureless round. and Il turneth slow
And few on the topmost curve are found
Who care for the lives crushed out below.
But silent and sure it circuit keeps;
And still the shadows beneath steal;
Under the wheel.
There are some in the mire of want who fell
AS the great wheel slackened their strain
ing hold;
Yet kept their souls. as, the legens tell.
The spotless martyrs kept theirs of old.
And some in the furnace of greed are lost;
Nor ever the angel beside them feel.)
And outer the darkness where some are tossed
Under the wheel.
The laughter is silenced on childhood's lips,
And hallowed the cheek of beauty's bloom;
Still on, remorseless, the great orb slips
A Juggernaut car if imrlacable doom;
Sweet age is robbed OF its sanity peace;
(0h, saddest woe that the heart can feelD
To pain and struggle is no surcease,
Under the wheel.
1t has warped high purpose of noble youth
To a base endeavor for place and gold;
1t has slain the weak who sought for truth
With a craven terror that none hath told.
Hopes heart grew faint, and faiths eyes
grew dim,
And love felt the chill of death CONCEAL;
Hath God forgotten? they cried to Him
Under the wheel.
Oh, terrible wheel! must thou still 20 round,
While suns and while stars their orbits
keep
Hast though place. hk theirs, in the fathom-
less bound
OF natures mystery dread and deep?
Nay Mans injustice, no Gods decree,
Marked thy fell pathway; the skies reveal
A day that cometh, when non shall be
Under the wheel.

The enemies of free and unlimited
coinage of silver, unable to stem the
current of public opinion that is now
so favorable to the establishment of
universal bin etalism, clamor for an
international monetary conference.
John Sherman, that arch enemy of
silver and of popular prosperity, is one
of three who is most active in advo-
eating an International assemblage.
The very fact that MI. Sherman and
his friends favor such a step should, in
itself, convey a warning tO silver men.
Should a forth conference be held, it
will terminate as have the previous
meetings; England will govern its pro-
ceedings and should any favorable
measures be recommended by its repre-
sentatives, 1t would be at the sacrifice
of the present theoretical ratio that
exists between the two precious metals.
1t is a significant fact that those who
recently wired to the London bimetallc
league congratulations at the progress
of the bimetalic sentiment in Europe,
commencing with John Sherman in
clude in their number the greater por-
ton of the enem les of silver, that for
years past have employed their skill
and energies in procuring the demOni-
tization of silver in this country.-Los

Mora, May 1.-THE citizens OF
Mora county are much stirred up over
a reported offer by MI. T. B. Catron to
deed to the citizens of this county
what he alleges they owe him in con-
sheraton of the citizens obligating
themselys to support the republican
ticket at the next election. Catron, in
conjunction with the Ben Butler es-
tate, claims the Mora grant, and al
though the grant was confirmed to Cat
ron and Butler by congress, the citi-
zens claim it should have been confirm
ed to them as a community grant, and
therefore do not consider that they are
indebted in any sum to Catron. The
offer was considered an insulting bluff.
Such representative men of Mora as
Hon. A, l.. Branch, Rafael Romero
and others took the matter up with the
result that the largest mass meeting in
the history of Mora county was held
on the It'll of this month and reso-
lutions were adopted denouncing Cat
ron for his alleged infamous PROPOSE
ton, The citizens of Mora are not yet
ready to sell their birthright for a mess

While talking of the desert and it's
tragedies. S. G. Gaskill of Campo, who
has crossed that waste many times
said that in his opinion the death of
the two Breedloves and Mr., Fish was
not due directly to the heat or to thirst
but to poison. "Those men knew
what they were about and we're headed
directly for water" SAID he recalling
the affair "but they were poisoned by
drinking the juice OF canned tomatoes
and died from the effects of it. Many
men have died from the same cause
and this fact should be more generally
known. Nearly every traveller takes
with him some canned tomatoes.
When he gets thirsty and finds himself
away from water he cuts a small hole
in the can and slowly sucks out the
juice. 1t is sour and tastes good In the
heat, but it is poison. The heat in
creases the acid in the juice and sofr
tens the lead in the tin End solder, and
the two combine to make a deadly poi
son. Once it enters a mans system he
is weakened, blinded and finally kill
ed. Iii is a dangerous thing. The east

was when l did not drink a drop of
water, but took with me a bag of
grapes and munched them as l went.

HERMOSA.

The shell for the Cornish rolls which
was ordered by telegraph. by Messrs.
Slater and Eckleberger, for the Her
mosa concentration, came in by express
on the night of May 14th and was i'm
m~ediately put in place; so that the
welcome sound of the whistle echoes
through the canyon of the Rio Palo-
mas once more, and active operations
are resumed on the ore from the Ante
lope mine.
MIR. Moses Adams has struck a very
rich chute of ore on the Palomas Chief,
the black tale and sulphides of silver
and lead being literally covered with
native silver wherever a fracture is
made and the metallic luster of the
white metal shines out beautifully all
oyer the face of the drift. The ore as
sacked will go up in the thousands of
ounces of silver to the ton with a good
percentage of lead.
Mr.. Frank Reavis has been working
his Small Hopes and now has more than
400 feet of development work on this
mine. The assays return from 400 and
3O5 ounces silver to the ton the Small
Hopes adjoins the Eureka and Contact
which are on the anne ore belt aud are
situated on the north side of Dry Fork
of the Rio Palomas. they are all own
ed and worked by Mr.. Frank Reavis.
