SOCIALISM.

Socialism is dream of the un-
successful-pleasant, may be. but
nevertheless harmful. 1t offers no
recompense for effort, no prize for
achievement, no reward for meri.
For the great race OF life l: won Il
harness to the same chariot ti,.
slow horse and the swift-th. mis-
mated team to move no faster thrn
the slowest horse in it. It's hop.
is TO equalize the achievements Of
humanity by dragging down the
strong to a level with the weak; by
quenching genius till it shall stay
back in line with mediocrity and
dullness; by handicapping energy
and effort until they shall take
their place and keep it, abreast
with shiftlessness and stupidity.
Destroy the fruits Of effort.
and effort itself will not long sur
vive. There can be no growth
without effort. and competition is
it's only stimulus. With fair, open,
aggressive competition, the nation
and the race will achieve new
miracles OF progress; without it
they will drift INTO the Dcnd Sen
Of retrogression and barbarism. =

Of the republican press. And to

ing.
Socialism seeks to drag no man
down nor to put premium upon
idleness or quench the aspira.
tons OF genius. But on the other
hand 1t seeks to insure to every
man the fruits of his own toll and
his own brain.
Competition appeals to the AM.
NAL nnd not the spiritual nature;
it inspires greed but offers virtue
no reward; 1t lends n deaf ear Ia
charity, humanity and love; il
seeks to destroy the last spark OF
brotherly love aud dsrken the
world with sclfishness and greed
IL rejoiccs TO SEQ n thousand starve
in order that one may enjoy the
fruits of their labor.
Competition would beat back
the lid. OF human progress and
turn humanity into bsrbnrism il,
order that y Rockefeller or n
leothschilds might become "suc.
crasful."
But why talk about the beauties
of competition? Competition il n
thing of the past; Il hHs Ind its

SIERRA BLANCA MOUNTAIN.

Persistent aud apparently sue.
cessful prospecting has been going
on for several years on both sides
of the big mountain north of Veta
pnss. 1t is fairly well understood
that the whole Sangre de Christie
range is sort of hit-or.miss
proposition, but there are places
III it where the tumble and up-
heaval that mixed up that mighty
mass left enough rock in place TO
Justify mining enterprises. The
big iron mine southeast of Villa
Grove was such u place, and there
are several fine gold mines near
Duncan and Crestone.
Blancn mountain now has
mining camp on each side of it's
lofty bulk, the two centers of
activity being mile or two apart.
a correspondent at Alamosa of the
New York Herald WAS receutly
instructed to give descriptions OF
them; to give an account of the
lost trail of the Aztecs on Sierra
Blanca, and to secure Photographic
views of Sierra Blanca mountain.

Aztec trail on Sierra Blanca and

on the subject, sHSs: ain 1899
important gold discoveries were
made in HuerIano county, and in
the county of Co>tilla, on the
other side of the Sangre de Christie
range"
The important gold discover
les referred to by Mr.. Harvey,
says the Alamosa independent
Journal, "were made by An ex-
perienced prospector, whose at
tention was called to the fsbulously
rich ore deposits of Mount Blanca
by an incident that might be
termed accidental. The result
was the location of many claims,
tunnel and placer sites, which
have been purchased by the Scan
tie Gold Mining and Milling COM
pnny. The present work Of tho
company is confined to the Haw.
kins group, and large bodies of $50
and so ore, aside from vast bodies
OF concentrating ores are being
opened in the adit. On the
strength and persistency of the
valuable ore bodies shown in the
hawkins group alone. to say
nothing of the many other valu-
able properties owned by the
Scantic company. We assert that
We own the most valuable gold
mine in the world. One hundred
Thousand dollars had been offered
for one claim in this group and
refused. Five hundred thousand
dollars would not purchase it."
The Scantic company has ex.
pended up to date over $50. 900 OH
the two sides OF the mountain.
1t is stated that the Scantic
company will build a concentrntor
OF 90 tons capacity on the Huer.
fano side this year and by tho
coming year work will be advanced
far enough on this side TO Justify
u second plant, which will be com.
menced about the frst Of April.

THE LITTLE ONES.

There are some curious customs pre-
Fallng. even in this matter-of-fact day,
regarding the naming of the baby.
German parents sometimes change the
name Of their baby if it is i'll. and the
Japanese are sure to change the name Of
a child four times
The Chinese care so little for their girl
babies that they do not give them a baby
name, but Just call them Number One,
Number Two, Number Three. according
to their birth.
The Mohammedans sometimes write
desirable names on five slips of paper,
ana these they place in the Koran. The
name upon the slip first drawn out is
given to the child.
~, BOYS are thought so much more of in
Emma than girls that if you ask Chi
nese father who has both n boy and a
girl how many children he has, he will
always reply, Only one child
The Chinese give their boy babies
name in addition to their surnames. and
they must call themselves by these names
until they are twenty years old. At
that age the father gives his son a new
name.
The children of the Amos. a people
hVlng IN northern Japan. do not receive
I I names until they are years old
II Is the father who then chooses the
name by which the child is afterward
IN an Egyptian family the parents
choose a name for their baby by light
ing three wax candles; to each of these
they give name, one of the three always
r ns9alohging to some dignifed parsonage.
ne candle that burns the longest be-
SLOWS the name upon the baby.
q ilndoo baby is named when it is
WE'VE days old. and usually by the
nio'tef. Sometimes the father wishes
LOT another name than that selected by
.he mother. In that case two lamps are
piieed over the two names, and the
name over which the lamp burns the
brighter is the one given to the child.
