Philanthropic Association.

For many years past there has been o
great rush Of people from the farms and
country towns to the large cities Of the
east and middle states, caused in a great
measure by the demand for labor arising
from the establishment Of large manu-
featuring concerns, the improvement Of
city streets and other kindred enter
prises. For a time the demand for
skilled and common labor absorbed the
influx, but that condition long since
changed to one where men are more
numerous than positions, and a wretched
life is now eked out by thousands OF
persons who, under favorable circum.
stances, could earn a comfortable liv-
ing.
So pronounced has this state Of
affairs become that men interested
in social economy have turned their
energies to solving the question. To
this end the National Homeseekers
association has been formed, with the
object OF inducing industrious people to
leave overcrowded cities and seek homes

The president will sign the bill passed
by the United States senate on yester-

This is good news to the honest and
law-abiding citizens of the territory, but
bad news for the boodlerS and legisla'
tive brokers who thrive on plumber and
spoils during the legislative sessions
The New MEXICAN may, some of these
days, in cold, black type and in black
on white, give a few little incidents of the
doings of some of these fellows in past
legislative assemblies, just for fun you
know. Wouldn't there be fun though,
If the New MEXICAN did show up u few
fellows in that line.

A New Mining Claim Ruling.

Secretary Bliss of the interior depart
ment has just rendered a decision OF
great interest to prospectors and min,
eral claim holders of the west. In this
he rules that where the application for
patent embraces several locations held
In common, proof of an expenditure OF
$500 on the group will be sufficient and
an expenditure of that amount used need
not be shown to have been made upon
or for the benefit Of each location EN-
braced in the application.
The decision completely reverses the
recent ruling Of Land Commissioner Har.
mann in several California and u Colo
RADIO cases, that $500 worth of work must
be done on each location of q group, and
also extends the ruling of Secretary
Lamar, of 1885, that the expenditure OF
$500 on a group must be so made as tc
benefit the entire group. The effect OF
the decision will be, to require far less
work to be done, and for this reason.
while beneficial to applicants for pa
ents, it will not be favorable to the min
ers needed to develope prospects OF
claims. -Denver Republican.

in the south and west. where land is
plenty and cheap. The headquarters
of the association are in Washington
city, and it is differed by Congressman
James Gum, of Idaho, as president. and
George E. Giring, as secretary.
The association is purely philanthropy
ic in its objects, and has no lands to sell
or town lots to give away to prospective
builders. Its whole aim is to secure the
removal of homeless people from the
large cities to the lands OF the south and
west where they may acquire homes by
their WI industry. 1t is not the inten-
ton of the association to transplant
confirmed paupers and other undesir-
able persons to the southern and west
ern states, since that would defeat the
objects of the promoters, and likewise be
Objectionable to the people already liv-
ing In them. While on the other hand
a warm welcome will be accorded the
arrival of Industrious, honest persons
who are willing to assist in building up
the communities in which they settle.
Governors of different southern and
western states and the territories have
expressed an interest in the work and
are doing what they can to make the
experiment a success. In a number o.
eastern cities, public meetings have al
ready been held to interest the people
who are to be benefited, and during thu
coming summer a convention will b
held for the purpose of discussing plan'
and making arrangements for carrying
out the objects of the association.
In this connection it can be said thai
New Mexico offers many advant
ages to the association, in the way O.
cheap and unoccupied lands, while thu
climate will prove an inducement tt
many people who are anxious to leav'
the cities, and who will make desirable
citizens, if a opportunity is given then
to make the change Of residence ant
manner of living.
