A FEW FACTS,

York consists OF men and women OF culture and
education who scrupuiously exclude from their
homes sensational newspapers. They want

gressive and entertaining, does not defile its

rible accounts Of crime. There is growing re-
volt against those newspapers which pander to
The depraved, and which Intlame the minds of
the weakminded and unthinking by overdrawn
tales of vice and immortality. The best men in
tendency, and The Net0 York Times is daily
pointed to as an example of what a self-respect-
ing, modern newspaper should be. Secure a

FEEDING The CALVES.

A Cheap and Handy Device Designed for
This Purpose.
1t is claimed that young calves when
fed on skim-milk in the usual way,
from bucket or trough, gulpit down
too rapidly for best results. A cheap
and handy device is made by using a
piece of light wood board, cut round, so
as to fit loosely inside of a common pail.

NEWSPAPER lax.

The Spanish Cortez has introduced r
heavy tax on newspaper advertisements,
and the provincial papers are raising a
storm of protest, for the reason that il
means ruin for most of them. Pubiah-
ers and editors have united in q petition
to the minister of finance, protesting
against the measure, bnt this official has
answered his petitioners, that he can not
consistently recede from the position be
has taken from the first, in this matter,
ard since the Cortez has decreed that such
tax is fair, and that it will vastly increase
the revenue of the country, which needs
money very badly just now, there seems
nothing for the publishers to do, bat TO
pnt up, or get out of business. Spain is
slowly but surely paving the way, for a
revelation among her own people, who
are already on the very verge of revolt.

GIVE US YOUR EAR, GENTLEMEN or the ASSEMBLY

| Hon. Mercelino Garcia, who has made
good auditor for the past two years,
among Others makes the following very
timely and proper recommendation in
his annual eport just submitted to the
Legislature, He says concerning the
course of the district attorneys in the
matter of collecting taxes:
"There has been no report made to this
office from any of the district attorneys
of the territory, of collections from de-
faulting collectors, except from Hon.
John Franklin, district attorney of Chayes
and Eddy counties, who collected the sum
Of $3.50 from David j.. Kemp, ex-sheriff
and collector of Eddy county, during
the years 1898 and 1894. These officers
ought to be required to give bond to the
territory for the proper accounting of all
moneys coming into their hands. 20 my
knowledge there are some of the district
attorneys who have compromised the
payment of delinquent territorial taxes,
and the money received therefor by them
has not been paid into the treasury nor
has report been filed in this Office"
The Legislature ought to take prompt
action in this matter and pass stringent
measures compelling district attorneys to
promptly account for all public funds re-
ceived by them or better still the power
to compromise taxes and bring tax suits
should be taken from them by law. This
is one of the most important sub iects be-
fore the assembly and ought to receive
speedy attention.

no Public Executions.

Enlightened public sentiment demands
that execution of criminals should be
private in this territory.-A]buquerque
Citizen.
Many times in the past the Weekly has
spoken of the barbarian of public execu'
tions, and as matter of fact, it is sub
iect on which all enlightened people ex.
press themselves as opposed to the con
tiuuation of the present practice. Nc
good and much evil results from the &C
cufrence OIL this barbarous practice. The
finer senses of mankind are hardened b.
witnessing such sights, yet the pre-
dominant curiosity is such that large
crowd will gather to witness the exeou.
tion of fellow mortal. The law should
curb this curiosity by making executions
private. 1t is matter of deepest i'm.
port to the advance of civilization. Our
present legislature can assist in the good
work by passing law making it obliga
tory that executions of criminals shall be
privately conducted by the officials whose
duty it ia to carry the law into effect

A BOOM IN TuR0UOlS MINING.

Old turquois miners predict boom in
this industry during the next few years,
basipg their predictions upon the fact Of
the Persian mines having given ont, and
the increased popularity of the gem in all
parts Of the world. The opening of sew
eral new mines within the past year and
the incorporation of several new com
panies during the past few m months for the
purpose of working some of the old tur-
quois mines of Santa Fe county, would
seem to lend color to these predictions,
which no doubt are founded upon an
accurate knowledge of the situation.
Working over the mines, operated for
many years by the Spaniards, might at
first thought seem Improbable, but it ia
here that the best results have been OBJ
tanned thus far In the territory. The
methods used in the old days were crude
in the extreme, and in most cases kept
the operators from getting good stones,
which are only found at a considerable
depth. Their method of blasting was to
build fire over the rock and crack it by
extreme heat. They did not know the
use of steel or iron and possessed no tools
fitted fer the work. Thus while being
able TO locate mines, they could not sue
cessfully operate them, and the best re-
suits obtained thus far have been in
working over these abandoned mines.
There are many acres that have been
picked over on the surface, which under
modern methods would yield splendid
results. The cheapness of operation is
one thing that recommends this kind of
mining to the searchers for buried treas
nres. No expensive process is required
for treating the mineral and no Intricate
is necessary for extracting il.
A fter the blast the rock is broken into
portable shape with sledge hammers,
loisted to the surface, sorted and packed |
or shipment. Turquos miners can be
lad for $l60 to ~ per day. There is
much more money made in ttrquois min
ng than il generally known.

GOOD NEWS FOR SHEEP AND CATTLE GROWERS

The Republican members of the ways
and means committee of the house OF
representatives have had daily sessions
for the past three weeks and the tariff
bill to be submitted to the extra session
of the 55th congress is in a forward state
Of preparation.
In this connection there is good news
for New Mexico sheep and cattle men.
The bill, it is understood, will contain a
proviso for a dnty on wool, of the kind
raised in New Mexico, amounting to
about 6 cents per pound and on cattle
duty of IS per head is to be levied. This, it
il ex pected, with the ad valorem duties on
the more valuable grades, will prove ade-
quate to shut out Mexican cattle. 1t is
against the Mexican stock that the in

The immigration bill conference re-
port has been adopted by the house of
rep resentatlves and will, no doubt, be
adopted by the senate and the bill may
become law. Any sort of. law, restrict
ing immigration, is better than no law at
all. In New Mexico anyway we can
speak our mind about this matter and
need not fear the loss OF votes. No
maudlin sympathy as far as immigration
is concerned, that's our idea.

The Reverse rs True

To our great disadvantage and draw
back, we fear, the impression seems to
have gone abroad that the proud and
promising territory of New Mexico is an
arid, reproductive country, peopled by q
class who have no ambition nor desire to
encourage the development of her re.
sources. The reverse is true. More en-
ergetic, progressive, far-seeing people
than inhabit New Mexico are not to be
fonnd on Gods green earth. Our climate
ia the finest man ever knew, our grazing
interests are immensely large, there's mill
ions in our Mines, and the agricultural
and horticultural advancement made here
is truly surprising Lac Vegas Optic.

To Martins Credit.

Senator Martin, of Socorro, deserves
special credit for the introduction of the
joint memorial in the council yesterday
asking congress to defeat any measure
before that body forcing the people of
New Mexico to fund several million dol

is said that Representative Avery has in
PRODUCED bill in the lower house of con-
gress ordering the funding of the out
standing New Mexico militia warrants,
and there ia q powerful lobby at the ma
tional capital favoring the passage of the
bill.-Albuquerque Citizen.
