BEFORE the next real estate boom
begins we ought to have the Torrens
land title system established in Colo
RADIO, says the Pueblo Chieftain. Even
with the reduction of fees, the expenses
attending any transfer Of real estate
are so large as to be seriously con
sidered in calculating the costs. An
instance could be given in which an
arrangement was recently made for a
sale of certain lots for 300, but il was
found that an abstract of title could
not be obtained for less than SO, and
this was just enough TO prevent the
sale. These title expenses grow larger
as the number of transfers increases,
and thus the expense of titles will be-
come so large after a while as to prac-
tically make it impossible for poor men
to deal in real estate or buy homes.
There are so many other burdens at
tending the owning of a home or home
site, such as the fearful taxes and the
cost of water and transportation, that
the mere clearing Of the title ought to
be so arranged as to be a nominal ex-
pense. 1t is evident that somathing
like the Torrens system must be OBJ
tanned some dav. and. therefore. the

GETTING ALARMING.

The Territorial papers, daily and weekly,
are giving considerable space to divorce
pr oceedings, showing that tho "fad to
marry and then get divorced as an east
ern paper expressed It recently, is grow
ing TO an alarming extent In his Terri
tory.-Aibuquerque Citizen.
There are an unusual number OF d.
vorce cases on the docket at the pres
enr term OF court in San Miguel coun-
". Some one asks us the cause oil
This fatality to the nrptial knot-ths
tie that should be cherished as the
most sacred on earth, and we are
somewhat at q loss To answer, unless
it be that people are growing careless
OF home ir Auences and prefer to be-
come actuallylwicked. Furthermore
the fact is that men apd women, as a
rule, marry nowadays without due
thought and reflection. They rush In
to the marriage state as though 1t was
a mere convenience to some thought
less end. Acquaintanceship they may
have with each other, and a delusive
idea that they are mutually in love-
but in re ality they are just as ignorsn'
of the ability of each to render mar.
riage happy as though they had never
met. Generally they know nothing Of
the temperament, the physical condi
ton, or the inward and outward live;
of each other, and a want of this knowl
edge leads to dIscontentment and ever
hatred after marriage.
As one has said, a fair measure o
health in husband and wife is necessary
to the making of a happy home, bu'
there are many persons united in mar
rage whose physical conditions better
fit them to become inmates of hospital
than for the formation of homes. Tat
same authority says that no woman
should receive the advances Of a mar
who, by immoral and diss,pated habits
has undermined his constitution, ant
n O man should marry a girl who's
waste is SO small as not to leave room
for the operation of the natural organ
of the body. These matters are sci
dom or never taken into account ii
marrying, and the final result IS dl
yorce. Passion is too often mistaken
for love, and instead of men ant
women knowing each others heart
before marriage, they are led on by
false sentiment, and, in time, resort t.
the ssdivorce mill'' for relief from
yoke that has become CALLING. II Otter
happens that al intellectual man mar
ries an unintellectual woman, or a re
fined and educated woman accepts
coarse, boorish man for a husband
The result is. incompatibility ard
separation. Let men and women TAX

Int THEM HOWL.

A contemporary says thai a newspa'
ner NAV praise q man until it exhausts
its vocabulary and the man will accept
it as though he deserves it; but rub the
hair the other way, never SO gently,
and only once, and he will go into
Mysteries, stop his paper and call you
everything that is bad. Oar contem-
porary wants TO know if this Is not
strange. We think not. The man
who travels generally upon passes, is
the man who most loudly damns the
railroads for their extortions, when by
accident he is called upon to pay for
some slight service. The man In the
most robust health, with never an ache
or a pain, bowls the loudest over the
gnat or cinder which may chance tc
get into his eye. A man in New
Mexico, where the sun will shine $50
days out of the year, abuses a cloudy
day with ten-fOld the violence of him
who lives in the murky atmosphere of
some OF the states, where the cloud is
the rule and the sunshine the excep-
ton. In other words, it is human na-
ture to look upon blessings
generally enjoyed, as matters of right
and not Of privilege, to under
value that which is of very frequent
occurrence, to over estimate that which
is rare, and to be greatly offended at
the withdrawal of a privilege which
has been neither purchased nor deserv-
ed. Nevertheless, brethren of the press,
in view OF this trait of human nature,
1T is we'll quite often to rub the hair the
wrong way. Stir up the animals, let
them howl, and snarl and threaten TO
bite. Poke them in the ribs, feed them
the bitter food of truthful, adverse
criticism. Let them see that they have
neither the power nor the perfection,
which their self.conceit added to the
puffs OF the press has caused them to
ascribe to themselves. Lay bare their
follies, touch them to the quick of their
pride; and then when the sweet words
of commentator are again offered,
should they ever deserve them again,
such words will be fully appreciated,
and not received with the gracious con-
descension or the naughty indifference
of an eastern despot receiving the hon.
age Of his slaves. Nothing is more
beneficial than for the press to show its
independence of oil men, clioues or
parties.

CARLISLE MAY RESIGN
Rumor That he May Re Appointed to the
Supreme Bench.
Justice Field to Retire in Order to
Make Place for the Secre-
tary of the Treasury,

1t is reported here that Secretary Carlisle
may retire from the cabinet before the ex-
piration of his term. The report is based
on the belief that Justice Field is soon to
retire from the Supreme bench and that
Mr.. Carlisle will be appointed to succeed
him. Justice Field Is in that state of health
that his friends fear for his continuance on
the bench.
He has refused to retire heretofore for
reasons, one being that he wanted TO 20
into the history of the bench as having
served a certain length of time, the other
being his antipathy to Mr.. Cleveland and
his evident determination not to put 1t in
the power Of the present executive to name
his successor
The first Of the reasons Is now removed
by the fact that Justice Field has served
the desired rumber of years. His heart
seems to have undergone a change as to
the other objection. While he has not
been in accord with President Cleveland in
several important matters, yet he is now
in complete harmony with the administra-
ton on the financial Issue. He Is person.
ally fond of Carlisle.
Feeling the way he does toward Carlisle
1t Is believed In certain quarters that he
will resign in order to make Il place on the
bench for the Secretary Of the Treasury.
The fear that Secretary Carlisle would
not be confirmed by Inc Senate II appointed
to the bench no longer exists, owing to the
position he assumed in the recent cam
paign. While the silver Senators are suf-
f1cient in number to defeat the confirma-
tion II they would act in unison still 1t is
believed they would not be able to so corral
their forces. for among them there are
such men Senators Harris, Berry Bacon
Martin of Virginia and others, who would
vote for his confirmation on personal
grounds.
The sound money republicans would vote
solidly for his confirmation, 1t is believed.

MAY PROVOKE HOSTILITIES.
4 RumOr as to the Possible Action oi
Spain.

spain.
The administration has reason to believ.
that the Spanish government is likely to dc
that which will provoke hostility with this
country. While Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.
Olney have adhered to the policy inaugu-
rated at the beginning of the Cuban
trouble, and intend to adhere to it, that
policy does not involve unlimited patience
or the part of this country.
The positive statement is warranted tha,
the administration will not overlook any
further provocation on the part of Spain
Mr.. Olney's policy is to be corciliatory and
Just, but neither he nor Mr.. Cleveland will
regret a development in the situation which
will require their taking a firm stand and
demanding the immediate elimination OF
the war in Cuba. Spain has heretofore
cloaked her offensiveness under protesta.
tions Of friendliness and appreciation of the
neutrality of this government.
1t is felt in administration circles that a
period has been reached in the Cuban af-
fair where Spain must either make good
her pretenses of protecting American inter-
ests or else throw off the cloak and stand
out in open defiance.
Spain has rot yet positively pronounced
her position, but certain signs and infor-
nation possessed warrant the belief that
Spain contemplates not only a more open
policy of irritation, but a direct defiance.
Such a course Will be met by the most
vigorous measures on the part of the Unit
el States.

scends in Importance the question of the

A DENIAL FROM MADRID.
Spain DecinreS She Has Not Been
Seeking Aid Against the United States

MADRID, Spain, November 12.-With re-
gard to the dispatches from Washington
on the subject OF the possibility of trouble
between the United States AM Spain, IT is
semi-offcially denied that the Spanish
premier Senior Canovas del Castillo. has
communicated with the powers with a
view to seeking support against the United
States.
1t is explained that the story is probably
a revival of the report circulated I'm August
last, when Spain prepared a memorandum
on Cuban relations with The United States.
suggesting that the powers assis, Spain
in bringing amicable pressure to bear on
the United States. On the occasion indicat-
ed and by the advice of the ambassad Drs
OF the powers the Spanish minister for
foreign affairs consulted with the United
States minister at Madrid before sending
a memorandum. Ii vas the view OF Min
lister Taylor that the dispatch of such
note directly after President Clcvelands $
proclamation calling for observance of the
neutrality laws would be calculated to
seriously affect the rela1Ons between Spain
and the United States. and in difference to
that expression the Spanish minister for
foreign affairs assured Minister Taylor
that the memorandum would be withheld:
also stating that no offerse was intended
to President Cleveland or to the govern
ment of the United States, aud that Spain
had only desired to sound the powers " ith
the view of contingencies which might
arise out of the presidential election.
1t is now added that the possibility Of
war between the United States and Spain
is regarded being most remote, and 1t
is pointed out that SO far as desiring TO
force trouble with the United States, Spain
remained perfectly neutral during the pres.
iGential election.
