Going In Debt.

The trouble is, my friends, that peo-
pie do not understand the ethics Of 60
ing in debt, and that if you purchase
goods with no expectation of paying for
them, or go into debts which you can
not meet, you steal just so much money.
If 60 into u grocer's store and buy
sugars and ccffees and meats with no
capacity to pay for them, and no inten-
ton CT paying for them, I am more dis
honest than if l go into the store, and
when the grocer's face is turned the
other way fill my pockets with the
articles CT merchandise and carry off a
ham. In the one case 1 take the mer-
chant s time. and take the time of his
messenger to transfer the goods to my
house, while in the other case l take
none of the time of the merchant, and
I wait upon myself, and transfer the
goods without any trouble to him. In
other words, sneak thief is not so bad
as a man who contracts debts he never
expects to pay.
Yet III all our cities there are falni-
lies who move every May day to get
into proximity to other grocers and
meatshcps and apothecaries. They owe
everybody within half IL mile of where
/ they now live, and next May they will
move into a distant part of the city,
finding a new lot of victims. Mean
while you, the honest family in the new
house, are bothered day by day by the
knocking nc Tie door of disappointed
bakers and butchers aud dry goods deal
ers and newspaper carriers, and you are
asked where your predecessor is. You
do not know Ii was arranged you
should not know. Meanwhile your
predecessor has gone to some distant
part of the city, and the people who
have anything to sell have sent their
wagons and stopped there to solicit the
valuable" custom of the new neigh
Dor, and he, the new neighbor, with
great complacency and an air of affiu-
ence, orders the finest steaks and the
highest priced sugars and the best OF
the canned fruits and perhaps all the
newspapers. And the debts will keep
OH accomplishing until ne gets his goods
on the 3Oth of next April in the furni-
ture cart.
No wonder that so many of our mer-
chants fail in business. They are swim
died into bankruptcy by these wander
ing Arabs, these nomads of city life
They cheat the grocer out of the greer
apples which make them sick, the ply
stefan who attends them during theil
distress and the undertaken who fit:
them out for departure from the neigh
borhood where they owe everybody
when they pay the debt of nature, thf
J only debt they ever do pay.

We arc apt TO blame young men for

men by the behest: "You must keep up
appearances. Whatever be your salary,
you must dress as we'll as others, you
must give wine and brandy to az many

deception little while. III few

make all right Nobody will be hurt by
it, nobody will be the wiser. You your
self will not be damaged. " By that aw-
full process 100, 600 men havo been
slaughtered for time and slaughtered
for eternity.
Suppose you borrow. There is moth
ing wrong about borrowing money.
There is hardly man who has not
sometimes borrowed money. Vast es-
tates have been built OIL borrowed
dollar. But there arc two kinds of Dor
rowed money, money borrowed for the
purpose of starting Or keeping up legiti-
mate enterprise and expense and money
borrowed to get that which you can dc
without. The first is right, the other
is wrong. If you have money enough of
your own to buy coat, however plain,
and then you borrow money for dam

row for the necessities; that may be
well. Borrow for the Injuries; that
tips your prospects over in the wrong
direction.
The Bible distinctly says the borrow
err is servant of the lender. 1t is bad
state of things when you have to go
down some other street to escape meet
ing some one whom you owe. If young
men knew what is the despotism of be-
ing in debt, more of them would keep
out of it. What did debt do for Lord
Bacon, with a mind towering above the
centuries? 1t induced him to take brides
and convict himself us criminal be.

Walter Scott broken hearted at Abbots-

THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 30, 1897,
HOME DEVELOPMENT rIRsT.

1t must be apparent to all that this
year is destined to be n of great con-
sequence In the mining world. From
the Klondyke still comes Information
that is turning men crazy with mining
fever, and the latest strikes to be Re.
ported that are to be considered rivals
OF their far northern competitor, are la
Mexico, state OF Guerrero, and down
in far off Peru, where a California
miner has found what is supposed to
be the long lost gold fields OF the ex-
tinct race of the Incas.
All these discoveries give food for
thought and suggest that new discov.
cries may be found IN our own Terri
tory, which has been hitherto only very
specifically prospected and its surface
scratched, so to speak, but The OPrIc
will call the attention of all Its readers
who arc at all interested in mining
matters, that for the sum OF l 900 as
good a property can be obtained in
New Mexico, as can be had in any of
the other mining regions, for $4,000.
and this fact cannot be gainsaid
Then we have the great advantage of a
perfect climate for mining all the yea,
round. Water except in a few camps
is sufficient for all purposes; timber,
both for mining and fuel is ALWAYS
abundant; our mining laws are excel
lent and prevent interference on thp
part of claim jumpers and those who
are IN the habit of doing nlead pencil
assessments 1t is, however, the old
saying being literally proven, that ga
prophet is not without honor except il
his W country" The idea that there
is nothing good at home and that the
best gold fields are at q long distance
is the greatest rot, and those
who will c%onfiue their efforts
to the development of New Mex
leo mining propositions and have due
regard to securing a good property
n developing it in mining fashion
n employing experienced miners to
carry out the work, will come
out in the long run, a great dea,
better off than if they had followed the
will-o'-the-wisp tales and stories about
other great strikes, '.just over the
hill.n
New Mexico should be given cheap

venture the prediction, without
ear OF contradiction, that if the new

Dcppue the assertion Oh The southern
pross that ~lynchings are becoming less
frequent Ia occurrence, there seems TO
be no d, crease In the number each year.
During the past few weeks Il seems as
though an epidemic Of mob law was
sweeping through tire south Each
morning chronicles new outrages ofthe
day preceding. and the south seems to
bs the chief territory OF daily outrage
and law miraction. | is barely posi-
| BILE that these occurrences arc highly
embellished by the fertile imagination
OF newspaper correspondents, yet strip
psd OF all comment, tho bare facts
themselves are enough to make law
abiding people shuddcr. There Is no
doub. bat what the crimes, which call
in'o action m b law, arc worthy OF b.
Ing heavily punished, yet the wholesa' e
transgression Of all law Is &c 80 deplor-
ed. The governors OF southern states
are open to severe csnsure for not pre-
venting at least a part OF the great
Number OF lynchings. The fact that
one OF them has acted quickly and
20 sitively, and shut off any attempt to-
ward taking the law ia the hands OF
the people, goes to show that indher-
ence, or desire for political recognition,
is in a measure responsible for the
mob law.
1t is estimated that the average mum
Der Of iyncnings annually, during the
past twenty ye rs has been n hun
dred, or two thousand for tho entire
tins. IL Is no wonder that when the
reports Of these crimes reach the ears
OF foreigners they think us to be little
removed from barbarism. Nor Is l.
always the crime OF criminal assault
that causes ~lynching. Not long since
a nagro preacher who made ths at
tempt t shield a fugitive FROM justice,
was taken up by an angry mob aud
hung to Il tree, while an aged negroes
who had concealed the preacher, was
| whipped until sac tainted, and then
was left to die by the mob that had
glutted its desire for flood
Il has happened that an
innocent negro was made the Object CT
such outrage, but when the mistake
was made known, no attempt was
made at PREPARATION. Ultimately these
lyrchirgs Will rebound. The frequency
Of mob courts OF justice and hangings,
cave made the negroes reckless Of re-
suit. 1t would be no matter OF surprise
f a race war did not soon arise. II IL
the duty of the people in the south to
put an end to such proceedings In order
to saw the entire south from demoral-
zation. The feeling of justice that has
prompted men to take The law into
their hands, has gwen way TO an abb
normal desire for blood. If the state
would see to it that punishment
speedily follows crime, and at the same
ime enforce the laws against lynching'
these occurrence would become less
and less frequent and fioally cease al
together.
