JUDGE McFIE'S DITCH DECISION.

JUDGE McFIE'S DITCH DECISION.
Albuquerque Journal-D emocrat.)
The favorable decision of the court in
the ditch matter seems to have put new
life into every enterprise in Albuquer-
que. The proposed canal is very prop
erly regarded by nearly all of our peo-
pie as one of the most important of all
the various enterprises in contempla-
ton for the benefit of the town-many
persons believing that in it's influence
upon the growth and prosperity of the
place it's construction will be of more
value to us than the coming of a new
railroad.
There is no doubt of the fact that the
building of this canal will exert a most
permanent influence for the good of the
town, and the moral effect of the courts
action in clearing the way for the COM
pletion of the enterprise is already ap-
parent in the more hopeful and conf
dent spirit which animates all of our
peOD1e.

SELF-DECORATED BRITISH DTERS


 The British soldier now on furlough in Lonodon in large quantities is richly ornamented with badges for service merit.
 Scarcely a redcoat is seen whose arm is not adorned with either the crossed rifles for craftsmanship, the crossed swords for gymnasium instructorship, the pioneers crossed axes, or the good conduct badge. Frequently the crossed rifles carry star above them, indicat-- ing that the wearer is the crack shot of his cornpnay. From this profusion of merit decoration it might be justif- ably inferred that the obtaining of hon. ors in the army is very easy matter, or that the private soldier is a much more jealous individual than is uni versally suspected.
 Through inquiries made by a "Daily Mail" representative the r,ason Nfor this boom in badges has been dis covered, and it is simply vanity, for many of the badges have not been won or earned. If Tommy Atkins has not yet gained a sleeve ornament to dis play on furlough he will buy one and stitch it on his tunic. If he be leaving fAldershot, for instance, he enters the train an ordinary soldier, and by the aid of needle and thread and com rade perhaps he leaves the station in London with a decorated arm that would become the waist of the smartest housemaid in Kensington.
 A modest but natty private recently shyly owned up to "The Daily MaiP representative that the attractive badge that lit up his scarlet sleeve was only worn on furlough and outside his barracks district. You see,' he added, i've must have something to show when we come up to London. You couldn't pass the Guards now without something on your arm, could you? Why, more than half of the badges are put on in the up trains and then taken off on the way back. You can't blame us, for we want to look smart when on a holiday. Then it is we wear furlough boots,' as they are called, With high, neat heels. They're not allowed in bar racks, of course. ."-The London Mail.

 TWINS MURDERED BY LAW.

According to African Superstition
 Their Birth is Proof of Witch
 craft.
 Miss Slessor of the United Presbyte- rian Mission at Old Calabar was pas senger in the Eide Dempster liner Oron, which left Liverpool recently, and had with her four black children whose cases reveals painful part of West African history. Miss Slessor has now | worked for twenty-two years in Old Calabar. The children are age, re- spectively, two, three, five, and sixteen years, and each is one of twins ap- pointed at one time to die, in accord ance with a superstitious custom pre- vailing in the Niger Coast Protector ate.
 In the course of an interview Miss Slessor said that all twins born were, according to the native laws, to be put immediately to death, and it is only those who have been rescued by the missionaries and placed beyond the reach of the native power who have so far escaped. The children in the Oron were four of these. Altogether Miss Slesson has herself saved the lives of fifty-one twins.
 When the twins are born they are at once taken from the mother, and, if no one mercedes, they are taken by the feet and head, and have their backs broken across a native womans knee in the same way as one would break a stick The bodies are then placed in an earthenware receptacle and taken to the bush, where they are devoured by the flies, insects, or animals. Sometimes the little victims are put in these recep- tacles alive, and are then eaten alive in the same way. The mother becomes an outcast If she does not at once take her own life, she has to flee to the bush. If she ventures near the town or vil- lage she must see that she does not re- main in the path when any other na- tive is coming. Her presence, accord ing to their superstition, would defle the place for others. She must not drink from the same spring, must not touch anything even belonging to her own re latives, and there is little cause for wonder that she takes away her life, which has become living death.

THE PARISIAN SLEEP CURE.

Nervous disorders are curable in a much more simple way than was here tofore supposed. But I cannot say whether the treatment is new, Music, when introduced into some Italian asylums lately, was supposed to be very new as a medical treatment, whereas it was known in Judea in the days of Saul and David. Colors, too have of late years been resorted to, but I am convinced that they were employed in Media in the days of Deio- ces. However this may be, two French doctors are said to have tried with re- markable success keeping their ner- vous patients in bed for several weeks without allowing them to go out under any pretext whatever. They are not restricted to any particular diet, nor compelled to give un their habits and customs good or bad, unless walking IS one of them. A French officer was late ly subjected to the lying a-bed regime for fortnight allowed to read, write, receive friends, discuss, smoke, and drink the while. He slept from twelve to fifteen hours out of the twenty-four, and at the end of the fortnight he was positively rejuvenated. The idea is greatly relished in Paris by fashionable ladies, who affirm that they were always little nervous, and are desirous, not of rejuvenation-for none of them need that-but of perfect health. They are, therefore, remaining in bed for two or three days on md, and as they must also receive their friends and transact the usual business of talking and inspiring, they have had special nervous-cure costumes de- signed and made for them. Many ladies who are not at all nervous, but only fashionable and pretty, are doing likewise, and the most daring of social prophets does not venture to forecast the far-reaching development to which this nervous fashion may give rise.- Paris Telegram to the London Tele- graph.

AN ERA OF CONSOLIDATION.

Wearied by years of reckless compe- tition with it's frightful effect upon an- nual balance-sheats, manufactures are listening approvingly to the wiles of the promoters of consolidation Ameri- can producers have pretty well ex hausted every combination, pooling and sales handling scheme imaginable and have found them all wanting. Some of them have enabled manufacturers to secure fair profits for a while, but usu- ally their life was limited, and often left the industry affected in a worse po- sition that it had been before.
 The conviction has been growing among manufacturers that nothing short of a consolida tion of interests as comprehensive as possible will bring re- lief. After exhausting every effort to reduce costs, they realize that relative ly neormous savings can be affected by a central management, notably in the direction of the purchasing of raw ma terials and supplies, in the distribution of product and in general expenses. Theoretically no more admirable under taking could be devised. Practically the majority of such consultations must take in individual plants, not on the basis of their actual worth, but on the basis of their capacity for mischief. Usually the consolidation starts off with a burden of capital paid out to placate or clear out of the way con- cerns controlled by parties personally 1rnmanagea ble or troublesome on ac- count of recklessness created by finan- ciaI Responsibility. Sometimes high prices must be paid because owners are really loath with their property
 While this often applies to consolida- tions kept within the sphere of the in dustry, it is even more frequent in the ease of the concerns which are to enter into the ranks of the ''industrials.' To the promoters and the financial inter- ests which float these undertakings it is a matter merely of making commits sions and of manipulating stocks after

Miss Slessor is accompanied on the Oron by Miss Mcintosh, and together they are going to establish a home for these native twins. The natives super stition is that the birth of twins is the result of witchcraft and deviltry. For merly the mother as well as the chil- dren, was put to death. The interven- tion of the white missionaries and trad CTS has saved her life. Miss Slessor said: Tt is really impossible to at once put an end to the horrible native customs. There could be no better gov ernors than we have at present. Sir Ralph Moor and Sir Claude MacDon- aid have helped us all they can. We don't want them to kill the natives to make the mabolish the mocking prac- tice. We hope by saving the children and bringing them up like other chl- dren to show the natives that they are wrong in their belief. It is their relig- ious belief that makes them kill their children.-The London Chronicle.

CT; and still," he added, collectively, "the time is rapidly approaching that the nations will understand one an- other.''
 It is perhaps surprising to hear such words from the imperialist Kipling, who has done more than any living politician to spread imperialism; but it is one of the continental misunder- standings og imperialism to regard 1t as identical with lingo politics. From what the interviewer heard from Kip ling, he was of the opinion that the Friends of Peace will find no difficulty in winning MT. Kipling as a member of their society.
 "The annexation of one white nation by another" he said, T regard as the greatest crime that a politician can commit. Don't annex white men,"
 How about the blacks?"
 q am against slavery" was the an- swer, If only for the reason that the white man becomes demoralized by slavery
 He is an ardent admirer of Cecil Rhodes, whom he knows personally, and whose work he is able to judge of from his recent visit to Matabeleland.
 How did you get on with Rhodes? What sort of man does he appear" was the question to which the answer came: Rhodes is greater than his work" The interviewer expressed his astonishment that Olive Schrelner has represented men in such dark coors but MT. Kipling indignantly repudiated the reproaches of this writer a!to- gether unfounded the sole harsh judg- ment heard by the interviewer through. out.
 Distrustful as he is about himself, he is without bounds in his recognition of others. He admres Stevenson warmly, delights, in Henley's poetry. He ex pressed himself in high praise of the latest work of Leonard Merrick, "The Actor Manager" He interests himself in all the literary work of the day, and is at home in all the chief movements and side currents in the spiritual life of England. When discussing the Lit erary History of England" which pr. Kellner has in hand, MT. Kipling said. If I had your book to write I would attempt in q nal chapter to discover the path which may lead from the pres ent chaotic condition of our literature and that of the twentieth century I would call the chapter Between two epochs.' I feel that we are between ebb and flood. It is now just what sailors call slack tide; we are waiting for the great personality of the time and col lect all the partial and petty forces into one power that will give a rev and adequate expression to the new time" The interviewer concludes his interest ing lines with the question, ''ls that man still to come, or is he already here ?"-From the London Daily News.

they are issued. It is a question of get
 ting the public to take what the manu- lecturers have been glad to part with. The first step is usually to induce spec
 ulators to jump in for turn, relying upon them to aid in finding a more permanent Judgement for the 'securi- ties."
 This class of consolidation is danger ous to the industry involved in more ways than one. It is natural that in or der to make the good showing needed to help the marketing of stock under written by the bankers the power to advance prices is liberally exercised. This induces fresh competition, only too often backed and guided by inter- ests which have just sold out at good profit. In this way an unhealthy ex- pansion of capacity takes place, with all it's attendant evils.
 Another fact, more general in it's character, is that every consolidation adds to the alarm which the public feels at this movement, which is stead fly growing in strength. However little this may weigh with the individual interested in consolidation, it Is se- rious matter to the different industries at large, since it is only too likely to find expression in adverse legislation, be it fiscal or general. In that case all will be made to suffer with those against whom such legislation is aim- ed.
 The fear is often expressed that the power wielded by consultations is apt to be arbitrary, and destructive to smaller interests, and that their forma- tion means a permanent advance in values. We do not share that feeling. In many cases small concerns, unham- pered by unweildy organizations, can single out specially profitable territory or particularly tempting lines in which they can do a prosperous businesss. They have always in their favor that feeling of antagonism against large az gregations which exists in the minds of buyers. To the small competitors the really dangerous consultations are those which steadily reduce prices, sharing economies with the consumers. This, however, are the exception rather than the rule.
 In one great industry consolida ton has been progressing for many years, and to some extent the experience in it may serve as a guide. The railroads of the United States have come more and more into the hands of enormous interests. Yet rates of freight have been steadily lowered and accommo dations to the public have improved from year to year. Is it not likely that this will be the experience in the man. branches also?-The Iron Age.
