1t is strange that people who profess
to be patriots should endeavor to pre-
ven the subsection of rebellion
against the government, but that is ex-
actly what the peace-at-any-price ele-
ment of the east is trying to do when
tablishment of a stable government in
the Philippines. 1t is very pretty and
nice to talk about the natives of those
islands guaranteeing the safety of life
and property, but those who have had
an opportunity to study the Filipino
characteristics do not hesitate to assert
that were the Filipinos left to them
selves six months they would relapse
into barbarism and a state of revolution
and anarchy would prevail in every
part of the archipelago. The United
States has been compelled to take up
the white mans burden in that part
of the world and until order has been
brought out of chaos, government
evolved out of anarchy, that burden
cannot be laid aside. If the people of
the islands could see as far as the ends
of their noses they would readily I'M

independence would be to lay down

of society and business in which

President Taylor has taken the com
mon sense view that woman's nature
calls for a special adaptation of the col
lcgc course of study to her individual
needs. He does not see why the curri-
cnlums of Yale, Harvard or Princeton
should be applied in their iron-clad en-
tirety to Vassar, Smith, Wellesley or
Bryn Mawr. So he has gradually made
such changes as woman's sphere APP
peared to him to call for, and his schol-
airy foresight and mature Judgment
have enabled him to so revise the stand
ard collegiate courses of study in the
interests of woman's higher education
tlat his best and most cherished hopes
and plans have attained to full fruition,
to the marked advantage and reputation
OF NaSsar college. The institution
founded by Matthew Vassar has reached
a wonderful stage Of development and
success under the plan of a woman's
curriculum for Il woman's college, and
President Taylor in his determination
to remain at Poughkeepsie, has called
out congratulations from hundreds of
prominent educators and friends of a
higher educational training for women.

FIattering Propsects for 1899.

New Mexico is entering upon another
crop year, another year in the mines,
and what are the prospects as compared
with those of one year ago?
The winter of 1897 and 1898 was one
of less n fall than had been known
for years before, and the mountains did
not contain the average amount of re-
served moisture, although the reports
of the weather bureau in Santa Fe
shown that there was water enough in
the streams to furnish irrigation for the
greater part of the crop season. In the
mining region there was q shortage of
water for mining purposes and opera
tions were restricted in no small degree
because of that shortage. So far as the
agricultural and stock interests were
concerned, 1898 was one of the most
prosperous years the territory ever
knew, and the condition, financially, of
the farmers and stock men was one of
independence and debt paying.
The present year opens most aus
%picionsly. Dependent, as New Mexico
is, upon irrigation for farm products
and fruits, the prospects for the reaping
of abundant harvests and the gathering
OF almost unlimited quantities of fruit
the coming summer and fall are most
lattering. The mountains in northern
New Mexico and southern Colorado are
filled with snow. the melting of which
will keep the streams filled the greater
part of the year, and there will be no
lack of water for the farms and orch
ards. In tho mining region the same
conditions obtain, and the developments
and exploitation of the mineral wealth
of the territory of the present year will
undoubtedly exceed any previous year
in the history of the territory.

1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our deal ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany
IN. W dairyman called at a drug store
heret for a doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with Group. Not
finding the doctor in, he left word for
him to come at once on his return. He
also bought a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, which he hoped would
give some relief until the doctor should
arrive. In q few hours he returned,
saying the doctor need not come, as the
child was much better. The druggist,
Mr.. Otto Scholz, says the family has
since recommended Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy to their neighbors and
friends until he has a constant demand
for it from that part of the country. For

Cough Remedy in our home. We keep
a bottle open all the time and whenever

Col. J. Francisco ChaveS,

County,

Colonel j. Francisco Chaves Vas born
in Los Padillas, Bernalillo county, June
81. 1898, and received his education in
the best schools of the land, In lS41 he
went to the st Louis university, where
he remained five years; in lS4S he was
sent to New York city, where he at
tended a private academy; from there
he went to Fishkill, N. Y, attending an
academy in hat place. He finished his
education with a two years course in
the College of Physicians and Surgeons
in New York city. In 1852 he returned
to his home in this territory.
As a soldier, Colonel Chaves served
with distinction under Kit Carson
through many Indian troubles. In 1861
he was commissioned major of a vol

10th and AID congresses. In 1876 he was
elected a member of the territorial
council, from Valencia county, and has
held that position ever since.
In November, 1898, he was again elect
ed to the council for the twelfth consec-
utiVe time, and when the present ses-
sion met in January, he was the unani-

dent, and he is now closing the eighth
term served in that position.
In the 33d assembly. as in those which
have been held for the last quarter of a

ored to advance the interests of the ter

COLLEGIATE Education for Women.

When the trustees of Brown University
offered President Taylor. of Vassar Col
lege, the presidency of Brown, the pub
lie pretty generally entertained the idea
that the offer meant an opportunity for
promotion which DR.. Taylor ought to
avail himself of. The doctor, however.
took a different view of the situation.
and failed to see any suitable ordesirable
reason why he should resign his Vassar
presidency to go to Providence. He
therefore preferred to remain where he
was, and where he has accomplished
such satisfactory work. The incident
has incidentally brought out a discussion
on the collegiate status of women, and
the question has been p%ertinently asked,
Why hold longer to the idea that the
standards of education and scholarship
for mems colleges should obtain also in
colleges for women? Their spheres in
life are entirely different. The duty of
the man is to provide for the s%ustenancc
of the family, the household.
The sphere Of the woman is to super
intend the interior economy of that
home and family, and by the charm of
her presence and sympathetic ma
ture to rear and care for the young of
the household and minister to their
daily and growing home needs until
ready to start for themselves in life. 10
