Thursday Mr.. James L. Petigru re-

NEW MExIC0'S NEED.

One of the urgent needs of New Mexico
today is reformatory institution for
boys. At the present time there are o
number of juvenile offenders sentenced
TO brief terms in the territorial peniten.
tiary who are entirely out of place in a
penal institution. There is no surer way
to make criminal of boy, than to give
him few months in prison for some
petty offense, the penalty Of which should
be term in house of correction. Pri-
son association, even for a short time, is
sure to leave its mark and in nine cases
out of ten, the boy who is sent to state
prison leaves the institution hardened
criminal. We have a case in point at the
present time in Santa Fe. A 1e.year. old
boy is convicted of stealing bicycle. II
lie his first offense, but that has no
bearing upon the case. His age alone is
an argument against prison stripes. Give
this boy a year in the penitentiary and
you turn loose upon society a confirmed

GENERAL HoRATIo KING, who died at
Washington the other day at the age of
sc, did the country good service in his
line, being worthy successor of Benja-
min Franklin as postmaster-general. He
entered the postoffice department from
Maine in 1S49 and rose on his merits
though that was long before civil service
reform-until 1854, when he became first
assistant postmaster-general, and WAS
postmaster general from January l., 1861,
till March 4, 1861, when President Lincoln
was inangurated. During his term in
the Postoffice department many improve.
ments were introduced, and in fact the
modern transportation of the mail was
begun.

GENERAL WEYLER in an interview ex
presses an opinion that the American
jingos are bent upon forcing the United
States into foreign complications. He
bases this opinion upon the action of the
senate in adopting the Morgan belliger-
ency resolution. The general is of the
opinion that foreign war will be made
the object of a certain party in the United
States, to distract attention from an i'm
pending internal shock of some kind or
other. What can the general be dream
ing of now! Does he share in the fear
of an anarchistic outbreak in the United
States, or has he caught the distant NUT
terings of a struggle between capital and
labor? His illusions havea vagueness
that is very trying, 1t is doubtful if he.
means anything at all, but if he does, we
should all thank this great man whose
prophetic eye scans futurity for our bene-
fit. 1t is cheering to know that General
Weyler considers this country on the
verge of great upheaval.

THOSE liberal reform laws, we have
heard SO much about, have at last reached
Cuba and still the Cubans are dissatisfied
and are keeping up war, that General
Weyler asserts, has been ended long ago.
The new code is great one, that is for
the Spaniards. The Cubans have liberty
to do any and everything they desire and
want, except such things, doings and
acts, as the Spanish officials do not want
them to do. 1t is great code, all for
the Spaniards and nothing for the Cubans'
And still the. latter are dissatisfied

criminal, with the chances strongly in
favor Of his pursuing career of crime.
What does he care? He has already born
the most terrible disgrace that it is pos
sible to infiot, the thought of which, will
be haunting memory to kill and damn.
This fact has long been recognized in
tablished for just such cases. In Massa-
chusetts or New York or California, this
boy would be sent to school. Not re-
form school. Even the odium attaching
to such title has been dispensed with.
That savored too much of prison. OF
course the object of the school would be
to reform, but the word is never used in
connection with these institutions, though
a few years ago they were generally
known as reform schools. In California
this institution is known as the Whittier
school for boys. The inmates are kindly
cared for and taught useful trades, and
returned at the expiration of their terms
to society, but not branded as criminals.
1t is an outrage to send 16 or IS year
old boy to penitentiary for petit or
even grand larceny. New Mexico is
sadly in need of an institution where
these boys may be kindly treated and
taught the better way, at least until they
have proven themselves incorrigible, or
possessed of inherited tendency toward
| criminal careers.

A QUESTION OF POLICY.

The president, according to the dis
patches of yesterday, has under considera-
ton the question of sending warship to
Cuba. If half a dozen had been sent
several months since Americans would
have Jared better on the island. Why is
it that Americans are imprisoned and
abused there and elsewhere, without the
possibility of redress, while subjects of
the English government enjoy immunity
from such outrages the world overr There
is not government on earth that would
think of holding an English subject a
prisoner for political offense. 1t was
tried only the other day, on man an
English subject charged with inciting
revolution. A few hours later the COM
mander of an English man-of war de-
manded his release. It was granted, and
not only this, but the prisoner succeeded
in having several companions who had
with him been arrested on q similar
charge, released from confinement. It is
30 all over the world. England will not
allow any nation t., impose upon even
the most insignificant of her subjects.
Behind every native Briton stands great
governments fighting governmental
government that would cheerfnlly take
up arms against the most powerful nation
on earth over the rights of single sub
ject. case in point happened several
years since in the City of Mexico. Two
men, one citizen of the United States,
and the other subject of England, were
arrested in the City of Mexico and thrown
into prison on the same trivial charge.
Next morning the English minister, after
an investigation, demanded the release
OF the Englishman, and the demand was
instantly complied with. The American
remained nine weeks in prison without q
trial, but was finally tried and acquitted.
II cost nothing to establish the reputation
which England enjoys all over the world
in the matter of protecting its ubjects.
Blaine believed implicitly in this policy.
He urged it upon all possible occasions,
because he was true American.

is an example as the fabric is black
and white silk, the cerise appearing in
the taffeta belt and collar.
The skirt is cut with seven cores, q
rather narrow front gore, two cores on
either side and two in the back which
form two box plaits. This style of skirt
is especially liked for silks, avoiding as
it does, piecing in the cores and because
it retains its shape, not sagging as do the
circular skirts an1 those cut with one
side gore.
The waist is blouse of creamy lace
over white taffeta lining; basque por-
tion is added below the belt of cerise
silk. very short bolero is cut square
across the back. The sleeves are gath
cred on the outside of the arm from
wrist almost to the top.
The bolero is trimmed with bands of
black satin.

over white tulle, trimmed with black

JUDGE FLOYD EsTILL of Chattanooga,
Tenn, is the subject of much recent
notoriety throughout the country, because
OF his instructing the grand jury to indict
him for drunkenness during his last term
of court. Thisis a step in the right direc-

again, it is to be hoped that he will pro.
coed promptly to his own impeachment.

The failure of prohibition in Kansas is
not wholly due to the corporations that
hide behind the temperance movement,
but according to Governor Leedy who
ought to know, is attributable princi-

people in that state want whiskey and
beer, and are not going to do without IL
for single day, for little thing like an
