DAKOTA DIVORCE MILL.

One of the Chicago papers has been in
vestigating the North Dakota divorce
business, through the medium of lady
commissioner. There is nothing par
ticularly new in the expose, the dishonesty
and infamy of the system as carried on
in that state having been told time and
again. It can not be too often reiterated,
however, that the practice as carried on
in North Dakota, is a disgrace to our
country. It is most remarkable thing
that public sentiment can be 80 lenient
toward an evil which brings large sums
of money to it's hotels, court clerks and
bar, both legal and alimentary. One of
the worst abuses OF the system, as it ex-
lists o.day, is the opportunity afforded
for securing divorces, without actual
notice to the other party. A notice, so
called, is given to be sure, but this publ
cation is usually made in some obscure
local paper, in which the intent of
the law is clearly defeated. Incom pat
Utility OF temper is often made the
ground for diverse, and great mental dis
tress, caused by the breaking Of some
dishes on the part of the defense, is
quite sufficient to support an allegation
Of cruelty. Nearly all of the men who 60
to Fargo for divorce, have sweethearts
slowed away somewhere in the vicinity
Of the town, and women applicants are
usually accompanied by hubby's suc-
csssor -expectant.

The territorial newspapers contain
many articles all pointing to the conclu-
sion that Hon. A. l.. Morrison is being
generally Endorsed for governor of New
Mexico. This is only logical outcome,
when Mr.. Morrison's recognized ability,
long years of faithful political service to
his party, and she policy of Republican
administrations to reward fidelity, are
taken into consideration. Gov. Morrison,
it will probably read, and while the Bee
editor has tender spot in his heart for
the other leading aspirant for the guber-
Material chair of New Mexico, it will be
source of crest satisfaction to write it,
and that quickly, Gov. A. L. Morrison.
The Bee is not new convert to this way
of thinking. It linked the name of Mr..
Morrison with the governorship when it
linked the name of Mr.. Mckinley with
the presidency long before there existed
any certainty that either gentleman would
win out.-San Maroial Bee.

THE curfew ordinance is proving
good thing wherever it is in vogue, and
will no doubt be extended to all sections
of the country. Under this wise munich
pal provision boys are kept at home
nights, learning something calculated to
improve their morals and manners, in-
stead of squandering their time in worse
than useless loafng on the streets and in
evil places. 1t is not of course possible
to make good boy, of one born with the
devil in him MS big as mule, but one with
gentle inclinations can, by restriction, be
turned in safe direction even after he
has started on an evil course.

SICklES' ADVICE.

Major General Daniel f. Siokos 10 in
favor of the United States taking a hand
in the Cuban war. He believes that the
people of this country have right to dis
patch arms to the island, and with char
acteristic frankness he offers to prove his
faith by work. 81 will personally dis
patch them," he said in speech at
Brooklyn, N. Y, on last Tuesday evening.
sand would be ready to accept all the
consequences of my action"
Is this good advice, at time when the
feeling in favor of Cuba, in this country,
ID likely to busrt into a flame, that will
overthrow the barriers of prudence? Has
Gen. Sickles ever heard of that portion
of the international code which forbids
friendly nations to aid or alb st insurgents
against what is their recognized govern
mentY
On the contrary, he assumes, with or
without reason, that the laws governing
the relations of nations with each other
are the same now as during the period
when might was right" and the common
motto was Everybody for himself and
the devil take the hindmost."
When Dan Sickles talks war it is differ
emit from the chattering of the Sunday
soldier. General Sicklcs knows what war
Is Ia oo kho of q
battle and knows all about the cost, the
suffering and the privation which it en-
tails. But it may be doubted if he is
equally we'll qualified to interpret law.
At least he is strangely at variance with
the leading iurists and lawyers of the
civilized word in his construction of the
obligations of the United States to
Spain as expressed Tuesday night. He
would not only disregard paramount
principle of law as it is accepted among
nations, but would smash into smitheerns
the existing treaties by which both par
ties to the contract are bound. That
used to be the rule among warriors. They
never stopped, in ancient times, to in
quire as to the right. Their hands were
always ready to go to the hilt of their
swords. The battlefield was their court
of last resort.
But Gen. Slckles is not barbarian,
and, though "every inch soldier" he is
not exclusively a soldier. He is also a
lawyer and has done service as a states
man and diplomat, and this fact is what
makes his recent utterance seem so out of
place. Law is law, and whatever public
sentiment may be, a wise counselor will
never advocate course which would
entail nothing else than the most serious
consequences.

A Timey Measure.

night which was largely attended by tax
payers, when, in response to an over
whelming sentiment in its favor, blank.
ct ordinance was passed exempting from
town taxation for period of ten years
any manufacturing or smelling plant in
vesting as much as $4,000 within the
corporate limits of Oerrillos. This is a
good measure and will attract enterprises
to this place, not 80 much because of the
money saved by reason of the ordinance,
but because it shows cordial and friend
ly spirit on the part of our citizens

FARM FACTS.

Solomon said; Go TO the ant, thou
sluggard; consider her ways and be
wise" But IL, instead of the ant, he
had referred TO the bee the proverb
would have taken higher rank in in
dustry and economics. The bee,
provided with q small house, is self
supporting and large dividend payer
on the investment. 1t is an institu-
ton with two business enas. Farmers
should have bees.
All animals in Wild state manage
to take care of themselves, but this
selt-preservation in q large measure
disappears when any animal is do
mesticated. 1t is then that the far
mer, from humane and economic con-
SIderationS, must care for the animals
in his charge, and the more solicitous
the farmer is Tor the welfare Of the
2IimalS ON his farm, the larger his
profits will be. The policy combines
mereiful and pecuniary consideration,
To neglect the mereiful is to invite
pecuniary disaster.
The neglect OF small things by many
farmers is seriously detrimental to

OATS AND ANTHRAX.

A case of much interest to farmers
has been decided in one of the Eng
lish courts. The plaintiff sued to re-
cover the price of certain oats. me
defendant denied liability on the
ground that the oats hau contained the
germs of anthrax, which had caused
the disease to break out in his stables
and led to the loss of so horses. Some
of these were covered by insurance,
but he counter-claimed in respect TO
the others Several corn dealers who
had bought some of the oats in ques-
ton from the plaintiffs, mixed and I'M
mixed, and sold them again said they
had received no complaints concerning
them. An expert veterinary surgeon
said the oats had a considerable guam
tity OF dirt in them, and should not
lave been fed to horses without being
screened. He thought it possible that
winnowing the oats would have got
rid OF the bacilli as it was possible, II
there were any spores, they were all
ON the surface. He thought there was
room to doubt that the oats in ques-
ton caused the horses to die. The jury
found that the goods were unmer-
chantabIe by reason of latent germs of
anthrax in them when they were first
delivered to the defendant; that the
defendant had not been guilty of neg
ligence in not having cleaned them,
but that he had been SO guilty by rea-
son of not taking the order of second

to worry me GOOD deal, but now
avoid them all in q very simple man

houses are about eight feet square
The floor OF each room is subaigded
by broad eight inches wide, set up
edgewise, one part for the bed, the
other for the droppings. Once a week
the droppings are scraped out clean,
then the soiled bedding from the other
side is spread over this space, and
plenty OF clean, dry straw is put in
for new bedding. Managed in this
way the pigs never foul their bed, and
the fine soiled bedding makes a good
absorbent, thus saving all the manure.

There is probably more filled cheese
maze in Illinois than in any other
state in the union, though Wisconsin is
a good second. The practice OF making
filled cheese is a reprehensible one,
end the evil is a growing one, for Chi
cago contains a long list of sinners in
this respect.
Ii the cheese thus made could be
sold to the consumers for Just what it
is, there would not be so much harm in
it. for he coula buy it or let ii alone,
just as best suited him. 1t is due the
makers of filled cheese in Chicago to
say that they mike no pretense that 1t
is full milk cheese, but make and sell
il for exactly what it is; but after it
leaves the hands of the maker it is
palmed of as pure cheese, regularly
made, and this is what gives American
cheese the reputation it has abroad,
ard what has taken the trade away
from us and given it ovec into the
hands of Canadian cheese makers.
There should be laws to make this
state of affairs impossible. but so far
there has been no effective movement
to check the making and sale of hog

And 70 your little crib crept,
And watched y space thereby;

But some time you win know!
Some time when in a dSrkened place
Where others come to weep,
Your eyes shall look upon q face
Calm in eternal sleep;
The VoiceleSs lips, the wrinkled brow,
The patient smile will show
You are too young to know it now.
But some time YOU will know!
Look backward, then, into the years,
And see me here tonight
See, q my darling! how my tears
Are falling as ! write;
And fee once more upon Your brow
The kiss of long ago
You are too young to know 1t now,
But some time you will know,
