Alger is peach. OF course he has
been roundly berated by Democrats
but this will be taken as merely for
partisan reasons. But when his great
est and harshest critics are republi-
cans their structures may be taken for
truth. The charges as summarized
are as follows:
l. General Custer, General Grant
and General Sheridan recommended
the dismissal from the army of Gen.
eral Alger because he absented himself
without leave, which was equivalent
in an active campaign as all old soldiers
know, to desertion in the face of the
enemy. The story is part of the mill
tary records of the United States.
Congress may have them at any time
by calling on the Secretary of War.
Alger himself as secretary will be re-
quired to furnish them.
2. Criticism of Alger as business
man is based upon a decision of the
supreme court of Michigan. The re-
port is published. 1t is part of the
records of that tribunal. 1t stands
confronting General Alger, and con-
dennis him.
B. John Sherman's condemnation
of Alger as a man who improperly
used money to further his ambition to
be nominated president of the United
States stands in his printed memoirs.

Fighting Cigarettes,

Representative Woodman, of Ills,
has asked the House Ways and
Means Committee to increase the
revenue tax on cigarettes from so
cents to $50 a thousand. Mr. Wood
mans object is to stop the smoking
of cigarettes by children, which he
says is "a habit which is destroying
our youth, filling our insane asylums,
and shrouding in gloom, by the de-
struction, mentally, morally and
physically of their young sons, many
of the best homes of our land" Mr..
Woodman said in his speech to the
committee; =" As long as boys can
buy the death. dealing article at a
cent piece or two for cent, so loug
will the evil continue, When they
are taxed so as to produce a larger
revenue, which tax will place them
out of the reach of school children,
then Mr.. Chairman, we may look Tor
a mitigation of the evil. Then may
we look for protection that pro
tects. Then may we congratulate
ourselves on having performed one
act, the results of which the whole
nation, with one accord will APP
prove"

THE LAND OF SUNSHINE.
"A Unique Country where the Skies are
almost Never Clouded, while the
air is Cool and Bracing,
like Perpetual Spring.

AS an anomalous southern resort,
by reason of the fact that there one
may escape summer heat no less than
winter cold, New Mexico is rapidly be-
coming famous. Averaging through
out the entire territory 5000 feet in
altitude above sea-level, and charac-
terized by dry air which, unlike a
humid atmosphere, is incapable Of
communicating heat, the temperature
In midsummer remains at a delight
fully comfortable degree through the
day, and at night becomes invariably
brisk and bracing. The sunshine is
almost constant, yet the most violent
out-of-door exertion may be undertake
en- without fear of distressful conse-
quences. Sunstroke or prostration
are absolutely unknown there. 1t is
an ideal land for summer outing
Its climate is prescribed by reputable
physicians as specific for pulmonary
complaints, ande the medicinal Hot
Springs at Las Vegas are noted for
their curative virtues. The most
sumptuous hotel in the west, the
Montezuma, is located at these springs.

NAMED
Is the Committee to Revise the
State Constitution
win Meet Some Time in March.

The legislative faction in the Re
publican party has had its way and
the long looked for constitutional
amendment committee has been APP
pointed. There is great disappoint-
ment in its makeup.
Some of the members of the House
were struck dumb, so to speak, when
the list was read. Everyone sup
posed, Of course, that Mr.. Garvin,
the leading lawyer in the House, and
chairman ofthe judiciary committee,
was to be appointed, and why he
was not, is the question that was
asked all around. Why, Mr.. Toler,
who does not profess to be anything
but practical coal digger, was pre-
ferred to a man like Mr.. Garvin, or
that Stephens, young and mex
periencbd man should be preferred
to a man like Bennett, is incompre-
hensible to any one, except those
who know the purpose of the consti-
tutional thinkers, the reason will APP
pear plain enough later on.
The constitutional amendment
committee Is made up as follows;
From the Senate
N. f. Whitaker, Republican, man

The committee will meet sometime
in March, when they expect to be-

Dawson Appointed.

For some time it has been generally
admitted that Hon. VIM. M. O. Daw-
son, Of Preston county would be Gov.
Atkinson's Secretary of State. Re-
Gently however this certainty was
disturbed by rumors to the effect
that the Governor would appoint his
brother to the position. These re-
ports may now be permitted to rest.
The appointment was made last
week and it was Dawson who re-
ceived it. 1t gives satisfaction to
all concerned; to the Republicans,
because he has earned it by his
great services; to the Democrats, be =
cause he is probably the most capa-
Bile man in his party in the state. We
congratulate the Governor upon the
very evident wisdom of the appoint
ment and congratulate Mr.. Dawson
upon the honor so worthily bestowed.
West Virginia is to have Secretary
of State for the next four years of
which she can be Justly proud.

Some Rambling Thoughts.


Among the many things proved
by latter-day science, is the effect of
surroundings upon living creatures.
Go among the TERRA del Fuegans
and you will find enormous chests
and very feeble legs, as consequence
of almost constant padding in ca
noes; visit the Esquimaux and they
will be found able to stand almost
unclothed in the most rigorous
weather, because of layer of fat
evenly spread under the skin by Ma
turc as protection against their
climate. In Africa vast regions too
utterly malarial for Europeans to
live in, support natives in most live
ly and thrising fashion. To close
our proof regarding the influence Of
the dwelling place go now TO the
tropical islands where all things
grow in profusion and almost with
out labor on the part Of man, and you
find what? Men and women too lazy
to exert themselves and therefore
amounting to almost nothing as an
influence in the world. But all this
refers to the bodies of men. As to
the mind tell me what moulds the
stolid, plodding, stupid ways of the
Russian Moujik? His surroundings.
The self-rcliance of the Englishman?
Surroundings.

her happy songs and cooking, thong h
disliked her shiftlessnese and ex-
travagance. In brief with eac h
member of the family it was the
good qualities and not the bad which
has chief influence in moulding my
character. As I have been thinking
over it TO know why it was so, /
have become convinced that it was
due to the fact that each member of
the family was actuated by desire
to do the best he could for all the
rest. This was the fashion, if you
will, in my little world, and with the
spirit of imitation strong within me,
as it is in every child, adopted the
rule Of the household as my own"
H.@
BY reason of the memories of
childhood religiously over-trained
and morally starved, with its errors
corrected only by the most drastic
sufferings, let me cry out to you par
ents of the burden bearers of the
next century; "Home influence,
more pure, more gentle, more tender,
SO that the child may ever look back
to it, not only without pain with alb
solute and positive pleasure. Home
influence, with the motive not alone
to give the child pleasant memories,
but rather to give it the power to
overcome evil around it by the
good within"
