IDEALS OF MANHOOD AND
CHRISTIANITY.
BY REV. JACOB sTRAUB. DID.


The properly educated human
heart always finds it's most satisfying
employment in doing good to others.
The altruistic spirit dorsinates even
the thought of self, and reaches out
to the utmost human world. 1t goes
out not alone to like spirits of the
same ideas and virtues, but as we'll to
those of the lowest levels. And the
deeper the degradation the greater
the sympathy and the more urgent
the mission.
To some extent, among all peoples,
in all ages, and apart from where the
influence of the Hebrew or Christian
thought had brought the high ideals
of man to view, there were sages who
advocated theories for ameliorating
human conditions in their own cities
and countries, and with possibly a
thought also of the unaffiliated world
outside. They wrought with fidelity
to the light they had, and often with
bene6cent resu Is. The advance
ments and recessions of civilization
seen in history indicate the presence
and absence of men of this character,
whose mission it was to beget a
better state of society.
The attempts at improving society
were usually by class Legislation and
by PHILOSOPHERS in harmony there
with, growing out of the contin ued
recognition of the relation of master
and slave, and by the prevalence Of
religions that were based on poly
theism of mainly mercenary gods,
added to by theories of a future state
in no way tempting or inducing to
life.
The ambitions led to nothing es-
sentially higher than the sensuous
,njoyments of the present. "Let us
eat and drink for tomorrow we die"
was the fruitage of class of princi-
Piles in sociology, philosophy, and
religion born outside the Hebrew
and Christian pale, including the
most favored and topmost varieties.
In Protestant communities in our
day efforts at reform have taken on
a somewhat different character. 1t
is proposed to proceed in human ma
ture somewhat differently, to subject
it to a study by scientific methods,
and to be governed in respect to it
by scientific facts. Much of import
ance has already been gained by this
I Iolicy, and much more is to be ex-
pected. Yet here as elsewhere true
S, fence contemplates the use of all
II facts involved, which are not yet
always fully considered. Not all the
fa cts having radical bearing are be
ing adduced or receiving sufficient
consideration.
1t is generally well enough recog-
nized that imperfect human deport-
ment is due to incomplete human
life. Seeing this, it follows that to
overcome defective characteristics, it
is but necessary to bring up defci-
encies in culture. And, correlatively,
the law must be applied to society.
What would heal the individual
would also heal the society. Over
coming his defects and leaving the

AN ANARCHIST.

After the receipt of sufficient returns
to indicate the certain defeat of his
ticket, VIM. J. Bryan, late democratic
candidate for president, wired the fol
lowing message to his successful oppo
nent:
LINCOLN, Ncb Nov. j.-To Hon. VIM. Nc
Kinlcy Jr., Canton, Senator Jones has just
informed me that the returns Indicate your
election, and hasten 60 extend my congrat-
ultions. We have submitted the issue to
the people and their will is law"
(Signedl W. BRYAN
And yet, tins is the man who has for
the past four months, been denounced
hy the republican press OF the country
as an anarchist A nation of such
anarchists would lead the civilization Of
the world. II w. j. Bryan is an an
archist, we are pleased to be classed az
such.

THE BABY PARTY.

While it is probably true that the
Palmer -Buckner. .Childers- Dame party
has not carried a precinct in the United
States, it may be said to have outgrown
the molasses on fingers and feather
plaything and will soon have arrived at
the tin rattle period. Unofficial returns
indicate that this wonderful baby
ticket received l27 votes in ST. Louis
out Of 10000. This if encouraging an |
very credtable endorsement Of Mr.
Cleyelands administration. Though
somewhat young aud puny, it will have

insect is a curiosity. The inhabitants
Of hive are classed as droncs, workers
and queens. The queen Is the mother Of
every insect In the hive, unless she has
been Installed instead Of queen who
had died and left the hive without n
mistress. The queen bee is the wonder
OF the whole insect tribe, as far as lay
ing of eggs is concern II. often deposit

The chief wonder connected with the
worker bee Is the admirable manner

These natural instruments consist of

NEW APPORTIONMENT.

We have been at a loss to determine
on what basis the Legislative apportion-
ments have heretofore been made, and
why the last assembly did not pass an
act on this subject, grounded on the
reasona BILE demands OF the public in
terests of the territory?
Under the present one,sided and
patched up arrangement the people of
New Mexico have no more chance to ex.
press their views on local questions
than if the members OF the Council and
House were all selected at large. 1t was
so made for the purpose of giving GER
tain portions of the territory, casting
sure republican maioritcs, an undue
advantage over those supposed to be
democratic.
No fair ard just apporIionment will
give to any district more than one rep
resentative in either branch of the leg
islative assembly. II Rio ArrIba, San
Juan and Taos counties are entitled to
two councilmen, then two districts
should be created out OF these counties
II they are entitled to four members OF
the House four districts should be cre
ated there with one member from each
70 elect the two councllmen and three
members Of the House at large from
Berna'ilo county does not meet the re-
qulremeuts of the people for representa-
tion. There ought to be two council
and three representative districts il
that county, and so on throughout the
territory. 1t is no difficult matter iC
arrange these districts so that the rep
resontation of one community shall no
depend upon the peculiar views or loca
interests Of another And this shoul,
always be the theory OF legislative ap
portionmcnt. Such one based on tn
recent vote by precincts would fairl!

population and should not be delayed

has reference TO criticisms made by this
paper on our statutes, in connection
with the discussion of the question OF
statehood. But, inasmuch as no sug-
gestions have ever been submitted by
the writer to former legislatures rela-
tive to laws to be enacted, we presume
that our esteemed contemporary was
desirious to have the laws so amended
as to satisfy the EAGLE and induce it to
support the proposed admission OF New
Mexico into the Union OF States. We
have Indicated, elsewhere, generally,
what we think the assembly should do
next winter, and for the benefit of the
able daily at the Capital, we shall prom
ise to add more specific suggestions
from time to time during the next few
months. AS feeler we would suggest
that the first act of the incoming demo.

The election OF 1896 is behind us. We
are looking forward, doubling the wis
dom of the result, yet hoping for the
best and ready to resume the battle foI
the cause of free coinage and the money
of the common people where it was sus-
pended Nov. Sd. Like a true "anarch

loyal and submissive to the constituted
authorities.

for such failure at the ensuing session.
On the party now rests the RESPONSE
bility of reforming the inexcusable jun
ble now appearing oD our statutes and
called laws. Democrats should now
redeem New Mexico from the disgrace
which former republican legislation has
for so many years held us under, and
place the territory in position to de-
mand admission to statehood without
the necessity of hiding our statute
books to cover our shame and the glar-
ing evidence Of our inability to govern
ourselves with credit. The EAGLE has
always favored statehood whenever this
territory can show that it IS capable OF
), 1t government, but 1t insists that the
only and indispensable evidence of this
capabiity is the methods employed and
the manner 10 which it governs itself.
Revise the laws, expunge the vicious
and Objectionable acts. and for them
substitute such as shall be dictated by
| wisdom and shall be calculated to pro
mote the general good of the territory
eliminating iobbery and class legisla-
! ton, which now so notoriously encum-
| bers our statute books.
To this end the Legislature to sit next
winter should lend it's most earnes,
endeavors, and should begin the goot
work on the first day of the session
ceasing only with the expiration of iti
term of existence. There will be ample
work to occupy the entire time for th'
general benefit of our people withou
wasting one moment on local or selfsl
interests of far less concern to th
public at large.

Clark, the real estate man, new devel-

coming in. The latest is a $1,000 Rob-
erts county bond, which was stolen in
blank some two years ago. Up to the
present time over $25, 900 in forged
papers have been found to be in the
hands of J. N. Brown & Co., New

forged papers consists of Roberts county
