MARRIAGE A PROLIFIC SOURCE
OF PAUPERIsM.

The following from an address deliv-
cred by the Right Reverend Bishop
Spalding of Peoria before the Confer
ence of Charities and Corrections at
Bloomington, Ills, on the 1st inst. has
attracted wide attention:
IF it were possible, though l do not
see how it ever can be, it would be
right, it would be duty, to prevent
half the marriages that take place
People enter into these relations in the
same spirit that they would purchase
horse, house or a suit of clothes
They have no regard for the sacredness
of the relations upon which they enter
Education cannot be a preventive Of
the necessity for charity, a preventive
of pauperism and crime, unless If no a.,
education of love- 1t must be vital
power with him who teaches. In sucb
way the home is the best school Rut
where the enc who marries is n sot a
criminal, the home gives no education
Where the shadow Of divorce banes
over home, or separation has already
taken place in one, the children of that
famlly are ready to go out as workers
TO the detriment of society. Our Amer
lean home depends upon the yigor with
which we fight divorce. We talk IF
qualifications for franchise and of do.
handing that a man prove his worth
10 cast the ballot We say nothing to
the end that a man should show his
qualifications for marriage
We fully agree with the sentiments
of the learned Bishop of Peoria with re-
gard 10 the injury done to society and
to the individual through foolish and
in some cases. criminal marriages.
Marriage is a contract, not only be-
tween the two persons who accept each
other as husband and wife, but it is a
contract with God and with society. in
which the marrying couple bind them
selves as agents of the Creator and OF
society.
Any defect in them or in their man
ner of entering upon the fulillment Of
their duties towards God or society II
is manifestly the right and duty of re-
iigion and society to take cognizance
Habitual criminals, habitual paupers,
those afflicted with serious and heredit- |
able diseases have no right to propa- |
gate among men and add to the num- |
Der of those who already are a burden |
upon society. But as the good bishop |
freely admits, it is impossible by law |
at least, to prevent this evil
As TO criminals, it is Impossible. ow-

be criminal in one state is frequently

SPENDING TIME.

There is our avocation which every
one followS-that of spending times
time: what is it? THE measure of dur
alton the present life; d particular pc
Rod or part of duration, whether past,
present or future; a specific moment. a
proper season, opportunity. Webster.
To every intelligent being there is
entrusted a portion of time, with in
structions how to use it. These golden
moments, more precious than sparkling
diamonds, come to lis fresh and unsul-
lieCDfrom God. How are we using them
Time is a treasure that cannot be
boarded, but must instantly be invest
ed in gain or loss, thereby stamping us
as honest stewards, or worthless spend
thrifts. You cannot suspend business
for a single moment. AS spenders of
time, we take no vacation. 1t is steady
employment.
True, some grow weary of improving
this treasure, and seek to kill time"
or throw it away: but God keeps a rec
ord of the squandered moments, and
will require d strict account at our
hands of how we use this treasure. An
hour, what is it? Sixty short periods
of time, divided into sixty still shorter
periods, called Seconds" so quickly
flown you scarcely realize their visit
An hour may seem of little value, but
how much, for good or evil, may be ac-
complished in one short hour. Decisions

have decided the destiny of a lifetime
yes, of an eternity too-not only Of
individuals, but of nations as WELL

izen the worth of tirnel We would not
spend il so recklessly as we so often do.

THE AMERICAN FLAG.

Il can even now remember by re-
Elections on first beholding the Ameri-
can flag. 1t never crossed my mind that
time might come when the flag. the
emblem of the freedom just alluded to-,
should be divided by apportioning it's
stars to the citizens of native birth,
and it's stripes only as the portion of
the foreigner. | was, of course, but
young and Inexperienced; and yet, even
recent events have not diminished my
confidence in that ensign of civil and
religious liberty. 1t is possible I was
mistaken. but still I cling to the delu-
sion, if it be one, and as l trusted to
that flag on a nations faith, I think
it more likely that it's stripes will dis
appear altogether; and that before it
shall be employed as an instrument of
bad faith towards the foreigners of
every land, the white portions will
blush into crimson and the glorious
stars alone will remain. Archbishop

These schools are oil of a high order

send their children to them without

resulted in the death of the young man

"Mulla mine. whose wave 1
Whilom taught to weep

1t is evident the inspiration was mu-
tual between the singer of THE Saerie
Queen and the hills and streams of
Desmond that he made classic.
Ireland owns a great share in the fu-
ture of the English language and
should profit by it. She has made
great sacrifices to principle, but she
has made very costly ones to sentiment
also, and uncalculating indulgence to
sentiment is ruinous weakness.
We say to the Irish, master the Eng
lish language and make it serve you.
1t is heard in tones of command
throughout the world often from the
mouths of Irishmen. 1t is the language
of achievement and success. If it has
cursed and scorned you in the past, it
has pleaded for YOU and soothed you
in more undying tones. The facilities
for universal intercourse and all the
tendencies Of the time forbid our re-
toward a babel of tongues.

THE LANGUAGE OF THE IRISH
PEOPLE.

We note with pleasure the efforts in
certain parts of the country to revive
an interest in Irish literature. AL
though the Gaelic tongue is, in fact. a
language of the past. and our fond
desires will not alter the nature of
things. yet we cherish the thought that
the sweet, rich, copious, powerful old
language, as it ceases to be a language
of the people. should grow to be a IAN
guage of the scholar.
The names of the rocks, rivers and
mountains may lose their articulate
voice and become mere sound to the
many. but their Interpretation should
not be lost.
Irish scholars should be familiar with
the language in which the legends and
traditions and histories of their land
are enshrined. If Ireland ever be-
comes the Ireland of her children's as
pirations,
Great. glorious and free.
First flower of the earth andt first gem
of the sea,
We shall come to have more exact
knowledge and less idle defamation
about her glories in the past, But the
Irish people today are in possession of
one of the worlds great living lam
guages-the language of this conti-
nent, of a portion of Europe. of the
south of Africa, and of a great stretch
of the coast and islands of Asia The
Irish people helped to give form and
nowhere sooner than in the Irish pale
were Norman, Saxon and Celt com
pressed into the peculiar relations
whence springs the conglomerate
speech we call English, and none GER
tainly infused it with greater force and
beauty than Swift. Burke. Goldsmith,
Sheridan and Moore. As Spencer sings

DEATH OF AN OLD PRINTER.
He Used to Set Type in the White House
Long Ago,

On the ella, in Grant county, at the
house of S. M. Harper, William M. Belt,
well known printer, died Saturday
morning. He had resided at Lordsburg
for the last seven years with his son E.
c. Belt, having come to New Mexico
from Washington, D. c., where he had
been employed in the government print
ing office for many years. In Folks ad-
mlnistration he was one of the few
trusted printers who set up the presi-
dents message, for in those days the
message was kept a profound secret un-
til it was delivered. Mr.. Belt served In
the militia from the District of Columbia
during the civil war and attained the
rank of lieutenant. After the war he
resumed work at the government print
ing office and worked there until 1892.
He was a native Of Virginia, and his re-
mains were shipped to Washington for
interment. Besides his son at Lords
burg he is survived by another son who
resides at Washington, holding an i'm
portant position in the Columbia ma
tional bank.

William jennings Bryan and Other Demo-
cratic Leaders Gathered at Dallas,

Dallas, Texas, Oct. 2.-The two days
Democratic carnival opened today, the

Colorado and Crittenden and Stone of
Missouri; several senators and mum.
Der of congressman.
The day opened cool and bright.
Meetings have been arranged for morn
ing, afternoon and evening, each with
its attractions of national leaders. There
is no end of enthusiasm and each speak
er was made to feel that his words for
the Democratic cause had fallen upon
willing ears.
Bryan arrived at the race track
grounds shortly after 10 o'clock and was
accorded great ovation. The next i'm
portant arrival was Governor Stone of
Missouri, who was received with cheers.
Chairman George Garden introduced
Governor Stone at 11:15 a. m. and he
delivered an address. His speech was
frequently applauded. The next speaker
was Governor Jones of Arkansas. At
the conclusion of the Arkansas COVER
nor's speech this morning the meeting
adjourned.

the crowd went frantic in their demand
for Bryan. Bryan advanced and in
short speech said while his time for
speaking had not yet arrived he could
not allow the opportunity to escape
without extending thanks for this mag
nificent reception. As a return he
would request the Democratic president

tion of the Democracy Of Texas at the
White house.

AGUINALDO WOULD TREAT FOR PEACE
But Wants His Republic" Officially Rec
ognized by Otis,


Manila, Oct. 2.-The Filipino ENJOYS
who had conference with Gen. Otis
brought message from Aguinaldo as
president of the republic" saying he
desired peace, and wished to senda COM
mission to discuss the question. Otis
replied that it was impossible to recog-
nize Aguinaldo's government In that
way. Gen. Alejandrino, one of the en-
voys, in answer to question how long
the Filipino army could stand off the
American troops said it could do SO in
definitely. He said the insurgents held
the northern portion of Luzon, which is
very productive and food is plentiful.
The soldiers did not complain if not
paid, and the inhabitants were willing to
aid with food and supplies. He referred
to the great difference between their ex-
pense and that of the American govern
ment.
Washington, Oct. "A dispatch from
General Otis was received at the War
department this morning giving an ac-
count of his meeting with the insurgents
envoys. Otis says the interview with
Aguinaldo's representatives Indicated
that the leaders are manoeuvering solely
with view to secure recognition Of the
insurgent government. All such over
lures were rejected and the ENJOYS were
informed that the only thing the United
States would recognize was the white
flag and the grounding of arms. He
also informed the ENJOYS that such capi-
tulation on the part OF the insurgents
should come quickly in order to avoid
the consequences of active war, as the
United States did not intend to permit
any delay in the matter. The course of
Otis is approved by the War department.
Secretary Root took the dispatch Of Otis
over to the White house for the presi-
dents consideration.

A Joke That Does Not Go.

The Santa Fe people now observe the
Sunday law, SO far as the saloons are
concerned, and the ''most prominent
citizen" can't get drink-without 60
ing around to the back door-Albuquer
que Democrat.
This is josh that is time honored in
its use. But it does not fit the present
case. The saloon men have absolutely
obeyed the law for the past few Sun
days. The back doors as well as the
front have been closed and the saloon
men have kept away from their places
of business.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC PLANS.
Reported to Have Bought a Narrow Gauge
Road


An important railroad deal Is reported
from Lordsburg in Grant county. Ac-
cording to report, the Southern Pacific
railroad company has bought the Ari-
zona & New Mexico railroad. 1t is un-
derstood, so the story goes, the South
ern Pacific intends to build new route
for its main line which is to commence
at Sentinel station in Arizona, not far
from the California line. and extend
through the Buckeye district of the
Gila valley, into the Salt river valley,
and through the city of Phoenix and
towns of Tempe and Mesa across the
Sacaton plain to Florence, up the Gila
through Stafford, Pima and the Upper
Gila valley towns, crossing the Gila val
ley, Globe and Northern railroad at
Duncan and then to connection some-
where in New Mexico with the old line.
The road would be through the richest
and most populous district of Arizona,
rich with mines and ranches, and
through an important part of New Mex
leo.
This move 1t stated, is inaugurated
on account of law passed by the
last legislature OF Arizona which pro-
vided that all new railroads should be
exempt from taxation for ten years, If
the builders file their notice of intentions
and a description of the course of the
road, within six months of the passage
of the law and commence building with
in one year. The six months have now
expired. A large number of declara-
rations were filed including one by G. f.
attorney general and attor-
ney for the water companies of the Salt
river valley, describing the above men
toned new main line OF the Southern
Pacific railroad. Part of the proposed
road is already constructed, including the
line from Phoenix to Mesa and from
Fort Thomas to Solomonvlle.

"Your favor Of yesterday asking If the
