THE month of April IS synonym
among the poets for all that is capricous,
and Shakespeare, who was born in this
changeable month, alludes to its vary
ing moods. What else is there so incon.
slant, unless, perhaps, as cynics might
suggest, fair woman herselfP The
present year we have had, although
the month is not halt gone, special il
lustration Of its uncertain moods; for
yesterday there was sunshine, snow
and rain in New Mexico and, to-day,
we have bright sunshine again. What
the evening may bring no man kno weth.
The vicissitudes of climate, however,
add something to the pleasures as well
as tho pangs of existence; for without
this variety and its attendant surprises,
there would be a tedious monotony
such as exists in those equatorial places
where the sun rises and sets always at
the same time and the sky rarely dark
ems. Here April keeps US always
guessing, and, il we are prudent, al
ways carrying umbrellas, even though
there be no visible cloud as large as a
man g hand.

SHERIFF CLEMENT, of Philadelphia,
very properly refused the request of
DR.. Arthur Macdonald to make exper-
iments on the murderer, Holmes, just
before he goes to the gallows, on May
7th. The doctor is a psycho-neurolo-
gist, and he has an instrument which
will record, in visible lines, the emo
ton experienced by the human being
On occasions when the feelings are
stirred. DR.. Macdonald suspects that
Holmes will be more or less concerned
as he is about to be led to the gallows,
and he wishes to attach the instrument
to the condemned man, to show
''whether or not Holmes was at all
agitated owe his taking off," Holmes
himself declined to be experimental
upon, and the sheriff said the prisoner
was entitled to a quiet, peaceablc hang
ing. DR.. Macdonald may know some-
thing of the value to science of a few
lines on paper illustrating the ebb and
flow of emotion, but the utility OF such
a record is not apparent to many.

Ayers Sarsaparllla enjoys the ex
traordinary distinction of having been
the only blood purifier allowed an ex-

Manufacturers OF other Sarsaparillas
sought by every, means to obtain a

all turned away under the application
of the rule %iorbiddipg the entry OF
patent medicines and nostrums. The
decision of the Worlds fair authorities
In favor OF Ayers Sarsaparilla was in

THE fiftieth anniversary of the in
corporation of the Pennsylvania rail-
road company is being celebrated in
Pittsburg, to-day. The act which Gre
ased the company was passed on April
18th, 1876, with a capital of $780,
900 and with privilege to increase it to
$40, 600, 900. AT that time, the road
only embraced the building of q line to
connect with the Harrisburg, Ports
mouth and Mounijoy and Lancaster
railroad, and to run TO Pittsburg and
other places in the county of Allegheny
or to Erie. Out of this small line, has
grown the immense property which is
now either leased or controlled by the
Pennsylvania railroad company. From
time to time, new lines have been ad-
ded, either by purchasing outright,
leasing or by procuring control OF the
majority of the stock. The capital stock
has increased until now the company
is authorized to issue $751;, 700, 900 and
of this amount about $3.50, 000, 900 has
been issued. Horses were used for
several years on the Columbia division.
The entire distance, eighty-two miles,
was u in nine hours, the horses be-
ing changed every twelve miles. Three

To the Editor of the OPTIC.
EAST LAS VEGAS, N. NJ, April 18th,
1896 disparaging any other
enterprise that may be pre- scted for
the benefit of the city, l would like to
call attention to the immense differ
ence to us IN returns between the in.
vestment in manufacturing and min
ing, allowing both to be successful.
Supposing a stock company was
formed here for manufacturing pur-
poses, and the citizens subscribed the
funds, say to the amount OF $4,000.
It would employ many workmen, aud
help the place in many ways, and be
a good investment, but it will not bring
in any cor manufacturing establish
ments, at least, not for quite a time, or
until the first esta blishment gets where
it proves a good investment.
Now, an investment of 81, 1000 which
shall prove that we have paying min
eral nea the city, will not only pay
the investors on what they put in, but
it will also bring in prospectors and IN
vestors who will invest money here by
the 100000. All we have to do is to
prove the fact that we have the min
eral, and they will come here. All
mining men and experts say 1t is here,
the float found proves this, but it may
be at considerable depth. 1t Is only
necessary for us to find paying mineral
10 one place and we shall have all the
hills and mountains around us full of
prospectors and miners. Ali the world
is at present on a mining boom, CAPT
tai is being invested, and is on the
lookout for investment, in mines. A
year or two more, and the boom may
be over. Why not push the matter
now while everything is favorableP

MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 10, 1896
AN ENEMY In CAMP.

The Arizona press is up in arms
against Charles p. Taft, the republican
congressman from the Cincinnati dis
trict, who is doing everything in his
power to defeat statehood for Arizona
and New Mexico.
The Tucson Citizen devotes editorial
space to him as follows:
Congressman Taft, Of Ohio, is a bowling
blatherskite. His argument against state
hood for the Territories was a tissue of
misrepresentation, and his mouthlngs
should be %repudiated by his state. Ari-
iona is never ashamed of the truth, but she
has been. chronically lied about for the
past twenty-five years, by the ignorant
and misinformed, till the thing is becom-
ing monotonous. We are in favor Of Nc
Kinley and believe that he will make as
grand a president as the United States
ever had, but Taft's mouth should be
spiked before the kindly feeling Of Ari-
zona has been alienated from the great
protectionist. This is apparent to the dull
est mind.
And the Phoenix Herald has the fol-
lowing to say of the bitter enemy OF
statehood:
The people of Arizona should know that
Congressman Taft, of Ohio, of the house
committee on Territories, is the b~itterest
enemy of statehood in congress to-day.
He is not only bitter, but unfair and per-
sistent in his attacks and stoops to belittle
the people Of the Territories and abuse
them as unworthy the rights and prIvil-
eyes of American citizens. If Mr.. McKin-
ley wants a vote from the Territories in
the st. Louis convention, he will at once
proceed to change Mr.. Taft's position to
the support Of measures looking to state
hood. If Mr.. Taft is voicing Mr.. McKn-
ley's sentiments on statehood, and the gov
ernor's hosts of friends hope he is not
then Mr.. Mckinley will lose the Territor-
ial vote as sure as the sun sets, and Mr..
Taft will continue to abuse and belittle
Arizona in congress and to deprive the
people of their rights.

MRS. MAYnnIoK's CASE.

-"TW"
The conviction Is fast growing, even
among those who have heretofore been
most sanguine OF securing the liberia
ton OF the imprisoned American
woman, that Florence Maybrick is
doomed TO end her days behind PRISON
walls, and this In spite Of the claim
made by her friends that new and i'm
portant evidence OF her innocence has
been lately discovered. Notwithstand-
ing tho assertions Of those in his con-
fdence to the contrary, 1t Is feared that
the home secretary attaches some
weight to the so-called revelations OF a
woman who claimed to have been a
fellow.convict of Mrs. Maybrick in
Working prison.
This is the story which c%uriously
enough first obtained publicity In the
American press, last October, and later
created a sensation on both sides OF
the Atlantic, The former prisoner,
who was notorious as a convicted felon
and whose word ought to receive little
consideration, under any circumstan-
ces, told an %incoherent tale of Mrs.
Maybrick's fractions life in prison, her
unruly conduct and general disregard
Of prison discipline, and that she had
on one occasion swallowed q quantity
of broken glass for the purpose of
causing blood-spitting and to create
compassion among the prison officials
and her fellow prisoners. The story
also contained an alleged confession OF
Mrs. Maybrick of her husbands MUIR
der.
Among those who know him, the
idea of Sir Matthew White-R Ridley plac-
ing any credence in such a story is re-
garded as absurd. But, IN the other
hand, those who are increasingly striv-
ing for the woman's release, are con-
fronted with the inexplicable refusal of
the home secretary to re open the case,
though the recent action of the house
committee on foreign affairs in report
ing a resolution asking the state de-
partment for all papers in her case,
gives fresh heart and courage to those
who have espoused Mrs. Maybrick's
case. However, the reference Of the
matter to the judiciary committee in
the senate probably sounds its death
knell in that body.
