of dollars. Gold production re-
mained stationary at an average
of thirty-three million dollars a
year, while that of silver rose from
thirty nine to seventy-fve million
dollars. The crude and ill-advised
legislation that made the Govern
ment the enforced purchaser
of practically the American
output at the time the law was
framed brought ON the crisis of
alarm and destroyed silver. Do
the friends of silver want any more
hasty action on their favorite
metal? If they are wise, No. In
the opinion of the writer, those
who believe silver is and ought to
be recognized money metal must
move intelligently along line
leading to the coinage of Ameri-
can silver, whether free or for toll
is immaterial, the coins not to be-
come the property of the Govern
ment and go into vaults, but to re-
main in the hands of the owner of

otherwise mutually stipulated in
the contract, except customs dues

ment from gold STANDARD countries.

essary to protect American gold.

The Albuquerque Citizen talks sens
IDLY in the following article on educa-
oational matters: The educational in
terests of New Mexico are most i'm
portant. Every movement of the pres
ent Legislature affecting those interests
is watched with solicitude by the real
friend of education. These know that
in these times of financial stringency
real economy is wise and necessary, but
they not want to sec any retrograde
movement. New Mexico is already suf-
ficiently near the rear end of the pro-
cessien The advance during the first
half of the present decade has been sat-
isfactory. The present school law is
weak in few points. Let the law MAX
ers listen to those who have had prac-
tical experience in its administration
and amend these few points without dis
turbing or endangering the whole. We
have enough normal schools, universi-
ties, military institutions, etc, for the
present. Support what we have as we'll
as our resources will permit. Efficient
supervision is regarded as the most i'm
portant factor in having good schools
But it must be efficient. Many of the
county uperintendents are good men,
bnt they are not school men. They are
not acquainted with modern schools and
school systems. They are not compel
ent to examine teachers. They cannot
go into the school room and help the in.
experienced teacher. They feel out of
place in educational associations and in-
stitutee, and are rarely seen there. Many
counties are not able to pay a compel.
ent superintendent. Hence the ques
ton of at least modifying the Office is
important and worthy of serious consid-
Grafton. The head of any business or
enterprise is the most important factor
in assuring its success. This is especially
true OF educational enterprises. What
New Mexico needs is a thoroughly COM
petent superintendent of public instruc-
ton. He should be able and willing
to take the lead in educational associa-
tions and Institutes. He should also be
an experienced business man and good
organizer. With such man rs leader
it is entirely practicable to control the
expenses of county supervision-as it
exists at prssent-and yet have better
supervision and better schools.

Atlanta Constitution: A recent issue
OF the Baltimore Manufacturers Record
contains very interesting article on the
present status Of gold mining in the
Dahlonega district in Georgia. During
the thirties the gold fever was intense
in northeast Georgia and Dahlonega
was the center of operations for over
5000 miners who were engaged in wash
ing ont gold from the neighboring
gulches. The discovery of gold in Cal
ifornia turned the miners in that direc-
ton, and when the war camo on Dahlo
mega was almost deserted mining camp.
A few years ago several wealthy men
fIOm the north made extensive invest
ments in these old mines, and by taking
advantage OF new processes they have
reared good profit from the low grade
ores which are practically ineIhaust-
ible in this part OF Georgia. About 300
men are at work within radius OF ak
miles from Dahlonega at the present
time. The equipment for modern min
ing is very expensive, and small in
vestors will not do well in these gold
fields. Those who have the capital,
however, for an improved equipm ,nt
can mine the orc and deliver 1t into tho
mills at 25cts a ton. This OF course
leaves a margin for big profits on low
grade ores and it is we'll known fact
that two Of the greatest gold mines In
the world. the Homestake OF South Da-
kota and the Tresdwell Of Alaska, have
made fortunes for thor owners out Of
just such low grade ores as we have in
Georgia. So it is safe to say that the
gold mining industry in our northeast
ern counties will be growing and prof
table business for long time TO come.
The EAGLE would add to the foregoing
that the same arguments as to profitable
handling Of low grade ores might be ap.
piled TO many properties 10 this vicinity.

VIEWS or MARRIAGE.


It Consummates Life-No Single Life Is
the Perfect One.
We hear young men say, Il am too
poor to get married, - and girls, 1.-The
man / marry must be rich. These re-
marks appear harmless, and they may
have certain business shrewdness be-
hind them. Still the larger truth is that
the speakers most often DO not take an
honest view Of marriage, no matter how
honorable may be their purposes Money
cannot insure happiness, and long ex-
perimenting in the countries Of Europe
has shown that mating for wealth is the
sure road to lax and immoral domes-
tic economy. 1t would seem that the
sensible view to take of marriage is
that it consummates life for the poor
and the rich, the vulgar and the refined;
that no single life is the perfect life.
The future Of mankind depends almost
wholly upon happy marriages and
healthy offspring. And this suggests
that there should be no marrying OF I'M
sound people. Greater selfishness cannot
be imagined than that which brings

Of immitigable misery, the hereditament
of those who bear their parents burden
OF disease. Shall we say that questions
arise in this connection too delicate for
discussion with young persons? Is it
better to leave the discussion to be
raised after il is too late?
The sensible view Of marriage is the
view that comprehends every conse-
quence. To the young people looking
forward to a long and happy welded
life it is of vital Importance that no ele-
ment of the subject shall be mystery;
that nothing connected with the matri-
monial venture shall be left to the haz-
ard Of chance. Parents must understand
that their children are TO be parents;
that there is no escape from the response
bility, and that education is incomplete
and training inadequate which does not
qualify for paternity and maternity.
The young man and the young woman
who are fitted for marriage are fitted
for all that q healthy. courageous and
happy life demands or imposes Chan

The social committee could arrange
for pleasant evening in finding out
just how much about the methods and
principles of the movement the mem
bers understand A constitutional
drill" is suggested by the Nebraska
Congregational News Choose sides,
after the manner Of the old fashioned
spelling bee, and then have some one
who is thoroughly posted on the model
constitution ask questions The one
who misses should sit down or stand
aside. The prize might be given to the
one who remains standing the longest.
Here are few questions, and they can
be enlarged upon almost indefinitely:
What is the object of this society? How
often are officers to be elected? What
are the duties Of the lookout committee2
Is the pledge part of the constitution?
Who may be members without election?
From what are associate members ex-
cused? Of whom does the executive
committee consist? Mention three things
required of active members What pro-
vision is made for amending the consti-
tuition? How long prayer meeting does
the constitution provide for? How many
unexcused absences from conservation
meeting are required to drop the name
OF an active member?
