upon Mr.. Jaramillo rose to question OF

The whole. The chairman, Mr.. Read, held
that the previous question was in order

no appeal from his ruling, but old par
iiamentarians thought he was surely
wrong this time. We are glad to say that
Mr.. Read is right, and he surely has been
studying assiduously his parliamentary
law, as we find in the latest rules of the
house of representatives (which have been
adopted by the house here) on page 474,
the following ruling: "When bill is con
sldered in the house as in committee of

previous question, even though there has
been no debate on the bill under the five

MADRID MINERS STRIKE.
Reduction of Wages and An Increase
of Rentals Cause the Trouble.

Special Correspondence of the New Mexican
Cerrillos, N. NJ, Feb. 1.-The miners
and men employed in the coal mines at
Madrid are out on a strike, because of a
reduction in wages, averaging about per
cent, paid to engineers, rope drivers,
drivers and helpers about the mines,
which went into effect on the first of the
month. A new scale was also provided
for the miners in the Cook & White mines
Nos. l, 2 and 3. Heretofore these miners
we're paid rs cents ton of 2,400 pounds
of mine run coal. The new scale offered
is IS cents a ton of 1000 pounds of
screened coal free from dirt or slate. The
coal from the Cook & White mines is soft
and brakes up 30 that the men claim they
can not make living wages at the new
scale. The wages for driving slopes and
entries were also reduced. AT the same
time the company raises house rentals
81 and 80. A meeting was held yesterday
afternoon at which nearly all the miners
were represented and it was almost
unanimously voted not to accept the re.
duction or the new scale. The scale for
mining in the White Ash and hard coal
mines was not changed but the miners
went out with the others and the war is
on. The strike involves $50 workmen of
all classes and directly affects the entire
population of Madrid, about 1900 peo-
pie. The company will not easy recede
from its position, claiming that the
prices paid miners are the best of any
camp in the United States except one.

A SUGAR FACTORY IN SANTA Re.

The New MExIoANs agitation of the
sugar beet question has already born
fruit, and a Systematic and scientific in
vestigation has been set on foot among
our citizens, which will no doubt result
in the organization Of company, here in
Santa Fe. Among those who have ex-
pressed themselves as ready to take hold
of the matter, may be mentioned Rev.
William S. Williams, of the First Pres
byterian church; ex.Gov. Prince, II. B..
Cartwright and Marcellino Garcia.
With such men as leaders in the enter
prise, it can scarcely fail of successful
contamination. Mr.. Williams has farm
near town, which is particularly we'll
adapted to sugar beet culture, and upon
which he is willing that experiments
should he made if such word is appli-
cable to the growth of a vegetable,
proved beyond question to be we'll
adapted to our soil. With this industry
once established, there will be no further
need of pointing out certain tracts of
land as valueless, on account of alkali,
which, indeed, is bar to most kinds of
agricultural production. This very ele-
ment in the soil, which renders it impos.
sible for other crops, is most desirable
element in the production of the sugar
beet. The more alkali, the better, up to
a certain point. There is no reason why
Santa Fe should not have sugar beet
factory and commence the production of
sugar on an extensive scale.
There is money in the proposition for
all who may become concerned. The
crop pays better than any other raised
by the farmer. This has been demon
strated in the Pecos valley.
The scheme ought TO attract the atten-
tion of enough of our citizens to result in
the organization of a company at once, and
within a year, Santa Fe eau have big
sugar beet factory in operation, with
hundreds of acres of unoccupied land,
under cultivation. and producing sa5stan-
tial returns for it's owners. Who will
lead off.

THE INSANE ASYLUM.
The Directors of the Institution Issue
Comprehensive and Interest
ing Report.

The report of the directors of the New
Mexico insane asylum, at Las Vegas
issued some time since, is an interesting
public document, covering period of two
years from November /, 1894, to Noyem.
Der 81, 1896 During that time 46 pa,
tients were admitted, 81 male and IL fe'
male, while SO cases were treated, So OF
them being in the asylum at the time the
report begins. OF that numuer were
discharged cured; 2 improved; four un-
improved; seven died; two escaped; two
not insane, leaving So inmates on No
vember l, 1896.
The affairs of the institution have evil
IDENTIFY been economically Administered
the total expenditures for the two years
being $2S, 552.10, including new building,
improvements and all other items, while
the receipts from all sources we're $751;
3l0OS. The directors recommend the
construction of another building at a
cost of 81 900 for the use of such patients
as are incapacitated, for their own care,
and urge it from sanitary standpoint.
Other recommendations are made which
are thought will add to the usefulness of
the asylum, the comfort of the patients
and the reduction of expenses.
The report is very comprehensive and
is full of information concerning lnsan-
ity and the territorial institution, which
will prove interesting reading to these in

Are Ambassadors Needed

The elimination of Bayard from the me-
gotiations furnishes lesson for our peo-
pie and government. If the American
ambassador was OF no use in arranging
the treaty, what need have we of an am
bassador? And what reason is there for
the silly cry that our ambassadors abroad
should have their salaries doubled in or
der that they might represent the nation
fittingly at foreign courts? Mr.. Bayard
could not have misrepresented us more
thoroughly If his pay had been quad
rupled He is not useful. If he or his
successor is to be muzzled on public oc-
casions he will not be ornamental. The
Atlantic cable is the best ambassador
that we can have. II conveys messages
with the speed of lightning and the pre-
cison of printing. 1t does not eat or
drink, and it's words are few and guarded,
for with it speech is costly.-Boston

To the Editor of the New Mexican:
Monero, N. NJ, Feb. /, 1S97.-At 1890
O'Clock a. M, on January 81, while big
dance was in progress at EDITH, Colo, by
arranged plans, Engineer Geo. Eaton
steamed up his locomotive and hitchea
onto Supt. Dan Nnneys private (hat)
car No. 66l9 and got merry crowd
aboard, ran down into New Mexico on the
Navajo river, where novel wedding took
place. Mr.. Harry Martin Davis and Miss
Sarah Ellen Boggs we're united in the holy
bonds of matrimony by E. K. Caldwell,
Justice of the peace. At the conclusion
of the ceremony the magistrate kissed the
bride, the headlight on the engine flick
cred, the whistle sounded loud and long,
the bell rang and the wedding party re-
turned to Edith, where the bride and
groom received the hearty congratula-
lions of the 150 people there assembled
to enjoy the dance, which was kept up till
about O'Clock in the morning. The
bride and groom are residents of Archu-
leta county, Colo. New Mexico is ia
vorite place for Colorado people to come
to, to get married, as here no license is
required, while in Colorado they must
have license, often having to 60 long
distance to procure the same.

THERE can be no doubt about the i'm
proved conditions of general sentiment.
Throughout financial and mercantile cir
Giles there lie better feeling everywhere.
Three months ago we had an election the
result of which enlisted the great fear
that had been existing in the minds of
men for year past. That was the one
great question to be decided. The minor
disturbances which have cropped up
since--congressional errors and diplo-
matte troubles-have been but tempo
rary. The great question of the hour has
been settled. The great danger which
hung over the country has been averted.

DURING the recent "cold snap in Obi
cago the fire department. responded to
200 fires within twenty-four hours. The
thermometer, during all this time, re-
manned nearly stationary at 20 degrees
below zero, and the fire hydrants were in
many cases frozen solid. Some of the
firemen were without sleep for forty eight
hours, and many we're frost-bitten while
on duty. Similar reports come from
other parts of the east. Residents of
Santa Fe who grumble about the weather
should mentally make note of these
things and resolve to reform.

HENRI WATTEBsoN, who, for thirty years

HENRI WATTERsoN, who, for thirty years
was close friend of j. B. McCullagh,
confirms the impression that there was a
love romance in the dead editors career
in St. Louis. The young woman in the
case lived in Louisville for a while. She
was handsome and accomplished girl,
and was the adopted daughter Of pres
ent st, Lonis official in the early seven
ties, aud almost millionaire then. Her
foster parents lived in the most aristo.
cratic section of st. Louis, and broke off
the match because McCullagh was poor.
About twelve years ago she married a
rich doctor, and they moved to San Fran.
cisco. He cruelty abused her from the
start, and, in a few years, she got d.
vorce and soon after died of broken
heart. The recollection of the affair sad.
dered McCullagh's latter years, and
helped to make him the cynic he was.

Don't DESPAIR.

The senate as now constituted does not
reflect much credit upon the legislative
branch of the government. With few
distinguished exceptions the members of
that body do not maintain the high char
acter for wise craftsmanship, genuine pa
triotism aud respect for public sentiment
which the senate formerly enjoyed.
Whether there will ever be any improve
ment while the present method of elect
ing senator's continues is problematical.

Itappears that the thefts and defalca-

for honesty by the various surety, trust
and insurance companies, reached the
enormous total Of $9,465,921. This is an

Jones, of Arkansas, have recently notified
outsiders with money to invest that they

they did not order capitalists to keep out

certainly amount to the same thing
