TURKISH RAILROADS.
The Discipline Severe and Travellers
Charged a Commission.

Charged a Commission.
The discipline on the Turkish roads Is
very severe. Negligence is punished with
heavy penalties, and if a collision occurs
all employees who share in the RESPONSE
bility ART likely to be sent to prison, and,
if any one is killed or injured, under SEN
tence for long terms. Employees of the
road who are injured in service receive
pensions, and if their injuries prove fatal
their families are provided fc". The law
requires railroad companies to provide for
the families of persons who are killed on
their lines by accident, and those who are
injured receive compensation to cover their
board, medical attendance and loss of
wages as long as they are unable to pursue
their accustomed avocations. AT the same
time there is a penalty of 81 for walking
upon a railroad track in Turkey for every
offense Cattle and other animals found
on tho right of way of railroads can be
confiscated by the company, although the
owner may redeem them by paying 20
cents for each sheep dog, goat, hog or 9th
er small animal. 1t costs So. 30 to get
COW or horse out of the railway pound.
Animals that are not ransoned within
given time are sold for the benefit of the
railway company, which, however, must
return to the owner any sum in excess OF

The Russian Christmas.

In many parts Of Russia, particularly Ill
provinces remote from the populous cen
ters Christmas is celebrated more as 1t
was when first introduced. Families,
friends and often small noighborhoods
gather at one house for celebrations. The
mistress of that house at once becomes the
supreme manager of all the services and
festivities. even to selecting the young
men who shall each be the special escort
of a certain young lady. These "elec-
tions,' as they are called, coming in the
season for betrothals and associated as
they are with the mystic influence of the
mistletoe, often lead to festivals where the
olive branch joins the holly and orange
blossoms Selected.

the PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

A very complete and satisfactory syn
opsis of President Cleveland's annual
message to congress was printed in the
New MExIoAN's regular Associated Press
report yesterday. The document con-
tains over 10000 words and is most ex-
haustive, able and conscientious review
of the foreign relations and domestic
conditions of the country.
Naturally a lengthy chapter is devoted
to the revolution in Cuba and the conse-
quent deplorable condition of affairs on
that ravaged and blood drenched island
at the entrance to the American Mediter.
ranean. The president strongly sup.
ports the policy of his administration in
maintaining strict neutrality between the
Spanish authorities and the Cubans; I'M.
alterably opposes the recognition Of the
insurgents as belligerents; reminds the
country that, while Spain has not re.es-
tablished her authority on the island, the
Cubans have not yet made good their
title to be regarded as an independent
state; dsclsres that the United States has
plenty of territory and that Cuban an.
nexation would be . mistake; suggests
that the true solution of the perplexing
problem 10 for Spain to offer genuine
Autonomy to Caba or home rule, and in
Inmates that the United States might
render valuable service to both parties
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1896-12-08

to the conflict by aiding such an amicable
and rational solution. Reading between
the lines, we easily discover that the
presidents conservative views in the
premises are partly prompted by a natur-
al and commendable reluctance to con-
tribute toward precipitating conflict
that might seriously embarass the new
administration that will be ushered in on
the 4th of the coming March,
The message contains a wealth of
timely and instructive information touch
ing the internal affairs of the country
accompanied by many wise and patriotic
recommendations. He wisely declines to
join Gen. Miles in recommending an in
crease of the regular army, calling atten-
ton to the strength of the organized
militia upon which the government can
confidently rely in case of need, but he
believes that both the regular army and
the militia should have more money for
equipments. In commencing the ex-
penditure of money for coast defenses,
declaring his belief in the ability o. the
government to build its own vessels, OPP
posing the payment of any further speed
premiums, and favorlng the laying up
ships in reserve so as to reduce the cost
of maintaining them in idleness afioat,
he voices the views of the people. His
sledge-hammer blow at the unconsciona-
BILE pension grabbers; his demand for the
prompt settlement of the Pacific railroad
debts to the government; his opposition
to further gratuitous distribution of
seeds by the agricultural department or
members of congress, and his warm sup
port of the interstate commerce and
civil service laws, are characteristic of
the man and merit the serious consie-
Grafton of congress and the country.
The concluding few lines of this strong
message partake of the nature of a fare
we'll as the chief magistrate of our grand
republic. They are subjoined: "When
our differences are forgotten and our con-
tests of political opinion are no longer
rememb ered, nothing in the retrospect of
our public service will be as fortunate
and comforting as the recollection of Of
fetal duty we'll performed and a memory
of constant devotion to the interests of
our confding fellow countrymen."

THE INTERNATIONAL DAM.

The fact that Mr.. Cleveland omitted to
make any reference whatever to the inter-
national dam project on the Rio Grande
ought to arouse the Texas delegation in
congress and force the governments hand
in the premises. Mexico is ready and
anxious to do its share toward the COM
pletion of this important enterprise and
with over $3l,000,0oo going every year
into river and harbor improvements and
other public works throughout the coun.
try it does seem that some share of the
benefit should come to the people of the
southWest.
