MISCELLANY.
] he C,nvict.
BY EMMA DIM1CR BEST.

Alone he sits in prison walls,
His manhood from him hurled,
And DER his life shadow falls
Which darkens all his world
His handsome, youthful, boyish face,
Scarce twenty summers old,
Bears designations ugly trace
And vices manifold.
And while he sitsland ponders deep,
His heart can scarcely bear,
The visions of his childhood keep
picture lingering there.
He sees his mothers face, while she,
In sweet persuasion, tries
To keep her son, to hold him fast
From " breaking of home ties"
The world to him looks very gay,
And home seems duh and old,
And FESTIVE youth must off, away,
To seek what he's been told
Is easy found and easy gained,
The fortune that he Graves.
And so the hopeful, buoyant boy
His promised pledges gave.

The Republicans and the Sugar Trust

The St Louis Globe Democrat, Re-
publican, says: "The defeat in the
Senate last week of the proposition
to take up the sugar bill has a very
serious interest for the Republican
party. 1t was chiefly by Republican
votes that the defeat was brought
about The bill, it is true, was not
for free sugar, which policy the Re
publicans in the last session favored.
AS it left the House the bill was for
free sugar, but it was changed in the
Senate finance committee to uni
form 40 per cent. duty on all sorts of
sugar. That is to say, it left the ad
valorem duty just as it is in the Will
son German law, but struck out the
&c pound specific duty on the re-
fined product-the differential duty
levied for the benefit of the trust.
There is strong probability that
the Republican Senator's course on
this question was dictated by de-
sire to embarrass the Democracy.
They want to prevent that party
from crawling out of the hole into
which it has plunged This policy,
however, is bad morals and bad pol
itics. 1t protects the most powerful
and infamous monopoly which the
world has, and at the same time it
may give some ground for the popu-
lar notion that part of the denuncia-
ton of trusts by Republican Con
gressmen heretofore has been dis
honest"

About Taxing Pullman Cars.

1t is well known fact that the
Pullman car monopoly has escaped
taxation on the greater part of it's
property by claiming that one state
cannot tax property that belongs in
another state This became so no.
torious that in few states the au-
thorities took the matter up and now
compel them to share in the expense
of upholding the law, so much of
which they demand for the protec-
ton of their stock. The matter has
been brought to the attention of At
torney General Riley and he renders
the following opinion:
81 have examined with some care
the question of the right of the State
to tax the property of the Pullman
Palace Car Company and like cor
porations, and have concluded that
the Legislature has right to pass an
act providing for the assessment of
property of such companies. A large
part of the rolling stock used by the
trunk lines of railroads in transport.
ing passengers belongs to this cor
poration and has so far entirely es-
capped taxation, for the reason that
the law providing for the assess
ment of railroad property does not
provide for the assessment of the
property of such companies. 1t is
only fair that such corporations
should bear their fair share of taxa
ton.
These cars have taken the place
Of number Of the cars of the rail
road companies, formerly used for
the transportation of passengers,
and the result is that the rolling
stock of the railroads is being de-
preciated in quantity and value"

Dayton will certainly have to be
getting after the editor of the Repub
lican, published in the town of Phil
lippi, which is also the town of Day
ton. Why, that editor had an edi-
torial in his paper last week that
came so near being the whole truth
as to be an argument for the Demo
Gratis all over the country. This is
the squib alluded to:
Cheap wheat is due to Argen
tine competition more than to any
one cause, and the crop reports from
that country show that this compe-
tition has only just begun. Santa
Fee, one of the provinces, had, in
1892 3, 100000 acres under wheat.
This year the province has 4,750,0O0
acres seeded down. The area under
inseed has doubled and so has that
under corn. AS the wheat crop of
the region rather more than doubled
in the last two or three years, it now
seems likely to do this again. If
this goes on, wheat will cease to be
a profitable or possible crop for any
but new lands.

THE LAND OF SUNSHINE.
A Unique Country where the Skies are
almost Never Cl0uded, while the
air is Cool and Bracing,
like Perpetual Spring.

AS an anomalous southern resort,
by reason of the fact that there one
may escape summer heat no less than
winter cold, New Mexico is rapidly be-
coming famous. Averaging through
out the entire territory 1000 feet in
altitude above sea-leyel, and charac-
terized by dry air which, unlike a
humid atmosphere, is incapable of
communicating heat, the temperature
in midsummer remains at a delight
fully comfortable degree through the
day, and at night becomes invariably
brisk and bracing. The sunshine is
almost constant, yet the most violent
out-of-door exertion may be undertake
en- without fear of distressful conse-
quences. Sunstroke or prostration
are absolutely unknown there. 1t is
an ideal land for summer outing.
Its climate is prescribed by reputable
physicians as specific for pulmonary
complaints, and the medicinal Hot
Springs at Las Vegas are noted for
their curative virtues. The most
sumptuous hotel in the west, the
Montezuma, is located at these springs.

THE SCHOOL LAW MIXED.
Officers Elect Puzzled as to When their
Duties Begin,

There has been a good deal of
trouble throughout the state CON
corning the popularity of the school
law, which has the effect of an enig-
ma upon school officers recently cleo
ted. Attorney General Riley, being
inquired of, writes as follows:
THE first part of Section 2, Chap
ter rs, Of Acts Of 1898, provides sub
stantially, that the school officers,
elected at the November election,
1894, shall serve for four years and
that their terms of office shall com
mence on the first day of July, fol-
lowing their elections.
'The last clause of the same sec
ton provides that the terms of the
officers elected at the May election,
1893, shall expire as soon as their
successors are elected and qualified.
These two provisions being part of
the same section must be construed
together, and if possible made to bar
monte. The first provision in plain
terms provides that the terms of of
fee shall be for four years, and that
they shall begin ON the first day of
July following their election.
THE term cannot begin before the
time fixed by law, and it is, there
fore, clear that the newly elected of
flcers do not take their offices until
that time. The old officers hold un-
til their successors are elected and
qualified. While it is true the off
GERS may take the oath of office any
time after they are declared elected
yet they cannot take office until the
time fixed by law for the term to be
gin has arrived, and in the meaning
of this section are not qualified to
bold the office until that time.
II am, therefore, of the opinion
that the old officers hold office until
the first of July next. This applies
to members of the Board of Educa-
ton as well as to County Snpern-
tendents."

No Fuss About 1t.

An odd kind OF settlement of an
election deadlock has been made by
the two candidates for sheriff oil
Wolfe county, XIV. Both candidates
received the same number of votes.
The candidates wouldn't agree to
another contest, and, as they were
close friends, neither would accept
the Office at the hands of the other.
1t was finally agreed that they
should divide equally the receipts OF
the office and draw lots to decide
which should be sheriff The Re
publican won the draw, and the
Democrat will be chief deputy sher-
III, but with an equal share in the
spoils of Office.
