One of the vices that has led
many a young man to become a
worthless cumberer of the ground and
caused many fond parent pangs Of
shame for their offspring, is that Of
gambling. 1t is certainly curse to
humanity. 1t may not be generally
known that during this pleasant weather
the woods surrounding this town are
filed with boys and men who spend the
day in gambling. There is certainly
some way to put stop to this kind of
Sunday pastirne. If the officers OF
Winslow township and this borough
work together big haul can be made
some OF these fine Sundays. 1t would
bo we'll fog parents to know where their
boys spend the Sabbath. Some real

'becoming SO fond OF the gambling vice.

KEDZlE'S MARES NEST,

What with his vivid Imagination to
draw upon and his natural tendency to
lie, Don Kedzie, of the Lordsburg Lib
eral, continues to make himself the
laughing stock of all honorable and
decent men. Kedzie's latest mares nest
has Just been discovered. He declares
Gov. Thornton was threatened with re-
moval from office by Senator Brice if he
did not let the Brice-Coler bond steal
alone, and the governor let ii alone, says
the Liberal. Nothing could be further
from truth. Brice couldn't remove any
body, and if it is true that "nothing sue
ceeds like success" then certainly the
governor was most successful in his mis-
sion to Washington, for it was through
his efforts that the taxpayers of Grant
and Santa Fe counties have been pro.
tected in their lawful rights and not
forced, though Gatron's efforts, to pay an
unholy, illegal and utterly fraudulent
debt of $75O,000 to the usurious Shylocks
of Wall street. These are facts. As the
new defender of Brice, Coler and Catron
the Liberal is invited to "come again."
The NEW MEXICAN stands ready TO de-
fend the cause of the people at any time.

MIR. EERGuSSQN,S CANDIDACY.

Mr.. Fergusson's speeches are waking up
a great deal of enthusiasm among the
Democrats of the territory, and the party
sentiment seems to be crystallizing in
favor of his nomination as the candidate
for delegate this fall. The territory could
not send more thorough representative
of the progressive Democracy or one who
would stand better with the coming ad-
Observation-Disclosures Democrat.
While indorsing all that is said above
in reference to Mr.. Fergusson's merits for
this high position, the New MEXICAN must
say that his candidacy is being pref JUDGED
and greatly injured by the conduct of
some of his friends In making bitter per.
sonal attacks upon other prominent Dem
ocrats. The New MEXICAN refuses to be-
lieve that this is done with his knowledge
or consent, but In any event such conduct
creates dissentions in the party that may
lead to serious consequences.
At this time above all others there
should be perfect harmony and unity in
Democratic ranks, and united effort on
the part of all to promote party success.

A HINT TO OFFICE SEEKERS.

If you are ont for an Office this fall the
very first thing that good Judgment and
prudence would suggest is to stand in
with the newspapers, and, in order to
start off right, it would be wise for you
to call upon your home paper and plank
down the cash for formal announcement
of your candidacy. This plan is not only
suggested by considerations of good
politics, but it is business, too, involving
reciprocity feature which the average
newspaper will nightly appreciate dur
ing these struggling times.

SIXTEEN TO ONE.

Sixteen to one simply means
the basis of valuation fixed by
law between gold and silver. six
teen ounces or grains of silver
equaling in value one ounce or
grain of gold.
Previous to 1873 silver was re.
ceiyed by the United States minis
and coined on the 16 to l basis
and the nation was prosperous.
During that year silver was de-
monetized by bill which simply
dropped the words SILVER Dol
lar" from the coinage law. 1t
was some time after the bill was
signed before it was known that
it had killed the coinage of sill
yer. President Grant claimed
that he signed the measure with
out noticing the omission of the
Silver Dollar" Afterward Con-
gresham Bland introduced
bill to remonetize silver but it
was vetoed by President Hayes.
Finally in 1890 the Sherman act
directing the government to pur-
chase 4,500,0 900 ounces per month
was passed. This act was re-
pealed in 1898 and silver again
demonetized. Previous to this
silver was also killed in India.
Now the friends of the white
metal simply ask that silver be
restored to its old place.

HABITS OF THE SEAL.
Interesting Facts About These Amphi-
bious Fur-bearing Creatures.
(From the pittsburg Dispatch.)

l.
The seal is an animal which breeds only
on shore, arriving ut the islands in April
and leaving again in November No one
has ever discovered where they 90 in the
interval: and how they find these small
rocks is Il mystery.
When the seals reach the islands they
split up into several colonies. The
"bachelors' Gagged one to six years. go to
one, and the married people" to another
The old bull, who is about three times
the size of the female, places himself on
the rocks and gathers around him n
harem of about fifteen
Not till the bachelor reaches the age of
six does he think of taking IA wife, and
before doing SO he has to establish n
right by fighting the old bull. While
they are on the islands, the bulls keep
watch over their wives ana families
They never leave the rock, anu, it is be.
lieved, do not eat anything the whole
period.
The mother goes out to sea for food for
herself and child. If the mother is caught
and does not return, the child dies, as no
other mother will feed it. a curious
thing is that the young seal cannot swim
naturally, but has to be taught against
its will by it's mother. The rookeres
where the families live are never dis
turbed. All skins come from bachelor seals
of from three to five years of age There
is slaughter once week.
| was once asked to be present at one
of these shambles. The men first drove
up n herd of about 5000 seals (all males),
and these latter made noise just like
sheep. About six men were armed with
long wooden clubs. The seals were sent
up in detachments of about forty at n
time.
The natives being trained men, knew at
a glance which were the suitable seals.
These they Immediately dispatched with
the clubs, while other men came up with
hooks and ropes, dragging the carcasses
away by the hind fippers to another place,
where they were skinned. Numbers of
women from the villages attend and carry
away the flesh, often getting n supply of
meat for week
The animals practically have two furs,
one long of n silvery brown color, the
other short, rs English ladies see it. The
long fur extends through the skin, SO
, they scrape the inside of the skin and
pluck out the long hairs, leaving the
ordinary seal skin as worn. The bulls are
enormous animals, eight feet to ten feet
long.
