Legislation Against Double. Headers.

The Texas legislature is now con-
sidering a bill to prohibit railway COM
panies from running double-header
trains. The advocates are employees Of
railway lines, and allege that this meth
cd Of handling heavy trains endangers
their lives. Much testimony has been
submitted by trainmen to prove the in
creased risks they run and the number
Of accidents resulting from attaching
two engines to a train. On the contrary,
the managers Of railways affirm that
there IL no increased danger, and that
the object Of the bill Is to make it i'm
possible for them to operate trains with
~ few men as they employ now for
dOuble-headers. In other words, that
the bill is instigated by unions so that
more members can secure employment.
The managers testify that by using
double -headers they are able to save Z
cents per train mile, and urge that there
shall be no interference with their pres
emit economical system. In Texas there
u . very strong disposition to restrict
railways, and the trainmen have Sc
cured much support for this measure
On the ground that the railways DELHI

Shame On ST. Louis.

st. Louis for many years used river
water for domestic purposes and had
no great alarm over microbes and such
things. But when Chicago arranged to
have sewers empty into a canal which
would turn its waters toward the river
that flows by st. Louis, the latter city
began to object in every way that could
be thought of, including congress and
the courts. 1t now appears that the en-
ergy of the people of the city was in
spired by threats of breweries to re-
move unless pure water could be had.
st. Louis people could get along per-
haps without drinking water, but the
fear of losing both beer and water was
enough to stir them to active resent
ment against Chicago. st. Louis
should be ashamed for never having
procured a supply of water other than
that of the Mississippi. Few cities of
the wealth of st. Louis are content to
use muddy river water, which Is con-
taminated by hundreds Of tributaries.
The filth from Chicago may be in great
err quantity than that which has until
now been carried in the big river, but Is
no worse than the people of st. Louis
have used in solution for many years.
A dead horse in the Chicago drainage
canal would be no worse in it's effects
upon the Mississippi than n in any
tributary of the big river. 1t would only
be a cas- of two horses instead of one
on st. Louis.

Pistols Should Be C0ntraband.

When a tourist lands at Manila, if he
has among his effects a revolver the
customs authorities take possession of
the weapon and retain it during the
stay of the visitor. That is a military
regulation that might we'll be enforced
elsewhere thar at Manila. 1t is against
the law in all American states and ter
%ritories for a mar to carry a concealed
weapon. 1t should be against the law
to sell revolvers or to make them, eX-
cept upon orders from the government.
In fact, if the government had a mo-
nopoly of the manufacture of revolvers
and ammunition, destroyed all discard
ed pistols and refused to allow any i'm
ported, a few thousand lives would be
saved annually. The reduction of court
expenses would be great. The revolver
Is one thing people can do without. So
long as such weapons are to be had al
most for the asking, persons will pro-
cure them to use maliciously, and the
law can be easily violated. Many men
who procure revolvers not intending to
take the offensive, but who lose their
heads and kill unnecessarily, would be
saved from committing crime. 1t is the
fear that other men have pistols makes
many go armed. Let revolvers be made
c~ontraband of war, so to speak, and not
to be obtained without great difficulty,
and when the present supply through
out the country be gradually conns-
Gated or used up, there would be more

Idle Political Stories,

Democratic papers which have nc
hope Of any Democratic success this
year in New Mexico, and therefore are
ignoring political issues, devote much
space to cock and ball stories about
what various Republicans are doing.
Of course, most Of their efforts are d.
rected to stirring up %jealousies in the
Republican ranks, and especially to-
ward Governor Otero. One story in
vented is that he is engaged at this
early day in taking sides for or against
the aspirations of men who may or may
not wish the party nomination for del
egate to congress. OF course, this is a
matter entirely of the future, and it is
not even certain who will aspire to the
nomination. The governor may have a
preference when this matter comes up
for decision, but certainly at this stage
of affairs he is doing nothing, and it is
all bosh to charge that the delegateship
is yet the cause of combinations. An
other accusation is hat the governor is
making a personal matter of securing
an Endorsement of the administration
by the coming territorial convention.
There is no truth in this statement, Ell
Their. There are persons who, for rea-
sons of their own, do not wish a reso-
luton Of Endorsement passed in the con-
vention, but there are also those who
will not be willing to have the
ton fail to give such Endorsement. The
indications are hat opponents of in
dorsement will be in the minority. The
Democratic writer's who put forth sto-
ries to induce Republicans to wrangle
will have their labor for their pains.

FORESTRY INFORMATION.
Laws Relative to Prospective Value Of
Trees.

The attempt of the government to in
duce the adoption of conservative
methods of numbering in order to pre-
serve the national resources, and the
responsive interest taken by timber
owners, have brought up many interest
ing legal questions, and the division Of
forestry has found 1t necessary to make
extensive researches in this direction,
AS the result, a circular dealing with
the laws which affect forests is in
course of preparation, and will be sent
free to persons interested. One Of the
most important points brought out Is
the recognition by law of the prospect
i've value of growing timber. The pos
sibility Of proitably carrying on lum-
bering with systematic provision for
future cutting depends upon this point.
1t has usually been held that when, by
trespass, or by INSCRIPTIONS cutting
by contractors, timber has been re-
moved contrary to the owners wish, he
could only Its stumpage value.
AS forestry usually requires that a GER
tain number of trees Of certain size be
left, 1t follows that an INSCRIPTIONS
contractor could easily upset the plans
Of years with little fear Of punishment.
The supreme court, however, has re-

speak the sober truth when I affirm that
for the wrecks of families in our coun-
try woman has a large share of the re-
sponsibility. The remedy for this is
found in the teachings of Christ"
The cardinal is but an observer. Not
being permitted by his calling opportu-
mites to know through association
more than one side of woman's nature,
he cannot be a good judge of the effect
an enlarged sphere has upon women.
He perhaps believes that enlarged &C
tivity of women will make them less
devoted to the church, but it may be
hat they will lose nothing Of goodness
by becoming wiser and engaging in du-
ties which prevent their minds from be-
coming limited in capacity to religion
and domestic thoughts. The cardinal
views the matter from the standpoint
of n educated to believe that a wom-
an, to be pure and useful, must be kept
blindfolded and sheltered from contact
with the work-a-day world.

ENTERPRISES FOR WHITE OAKS.

of the territory; and many believe thu
time is heal at hand. Capital has al
eye on this section, and it is hoped
many new ventures will be made tina
will have every promise of success. A
stock company is being formed here fol
the purpose of operating telegraphs
telephones, electric lights and rail roads
in Lincoln county. Considerable stool
has already been sold and sealed bids
for a telephone from White Oaks are
now being received by John A. Brown
to whom has been assigned the award
ing Of the contract for it's construction.
1t is understood that the bids will be
opened about the first of the month,
although the Eagle has not learned the
exact date the contract is to be
! awarded.
The second enterprise the company
| will undertake will be electric lights
for the mines and city. This move

electricity will be cheaper than the
lighting system now furnished us by
the Standard Oil Company, which is
dished out to our population by means
of a liquid the analysis of which would
doubtless show a little of everything
except petroleum.
When the Lady Godiva resumes oper-
ations, which will be some time during
March the necessary number of lights
can be placed to insure the success of
the enterprise, not to mention the Bos-
ton Boy, which in all probability will
be ready to use a limited number which
will be increased as the DEVELOPMENT
progresses. The Godiva also contem-
plates the erection of a mill which when
completed and in operation will help
out.
The location of the generators for the
plant will probably be placed heal the
Old Abe coal mines, provided the nee
essary arrangements can be made with
that company for fuel.
The electric light proposition, SO the
Eagle has been informed, was at n
time considered by the Old Abe Co.,
but was abandoned when the disaster
which necessitated the sinking of a new
shaft overlook that property.
The encouraging outlook for the min
ing industry Of White Oake and vicini-
ty makes the successful operation of
any or all these enterprises a feasible
certainty. White Oaks people are walk
ing up to the business possibilities in
reach and nothing will now apparently
be left undone to keep the wheel r,.line.
The building of a telephone to Car
rizozo will, as soon as conditions war
rant, be followed by the construction of
lines to many other places in the coun-
ty, and to Roswell, in Chaves county.

Mexico has no fears that the United
States means to extend her territory
down to Cape Horn, or ever to the 18TH
mus. The government of Mexico has
expressed approval of the Nicaragua
canal treaty under which this country
proposes to construct a canal across
Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The more
Mexico knows of the United States the
greater becomes the friend1iness of that
country to this. The most Of the for
eign commerce of Mexico now goes from
the United States, and the immigration
is practically all from this country.
Mexico has no cause to complain of ag-
gressiveness of the United States. Cit
liens of this country who go there to
engage in business are welcomed and
assisted by liberal laws and conces-
sions.

WOULD BE A STAR STATE.
(ElizabethtoWn Miner.)

New Mexico is a territory of unlimit-
ed natural resources, such as would be
sufficient to enable 1t to maintain a
state government. It's taxable wealth Is
ample for such purposes. 1t Is a ques-
ton that should be left to the people
themselves for their consideration and
decision, and it is the duty Of congress
to pass an enabling act, that the peo-
pie, by their votes, could indicate their
choice. The growing population Of New
Mexico is as progressive and intelligent
and in every other respect as we'll quail
flied for full citizenship as is that Of
any of the existing states. It's debut in
to the union Of states would increase its
population and taxable wealth; outside
capital would no longer shun its terri
torial limits, and the state Of New Mex
leo would shine as bright as any star
in the constellation Of the sisterhood Of
states that makes us this great nation.

The governor of Guam is getting on
He has not only made matrimony pop
ular, more or less, but has ever begun
to make literature a fad among the is
landers. His last communication sent
to Washington contained a requisition
for books and banjos. 1t is not given
out by the government just what sort
OF books the governor of Guam asks. 1t
may be that he is to load them up with
the thrilling, illustrated compilations
of the patent office. These works may
or may not go down with the people Of
Guam, but the banjos will surely soothe
them, else they be but fit for treason,

A Cardinal Upon Woman Sufraqists,

Cardinal Gibbons, who Is an able
man, has spoken with considerable Sc
verify with regard to woman suffra-
gists, club women and those who seek
to establish feminine independence in
the world. The cardinal, in a recent
sermon, says that "woman's rights
women and society leaders are the
worst enemies of the female SEX" In
justification of this assertion he in
formed his audience in Washington,
during the session of woman suffragists
there, that such women rob wom-
an Of all that is amiable and gentle,
tender and attractive; they rob her of
her innate grace and character, and
give her nothing in return but mascu-
line boldness and brazen effrontery.
They are habitually preaching about
woman's rights and prerogatives, and
have not a word to say about her duties
and responsibilities. They withdraw her
from those sacred obligations which
properly belong to her sex, and fill her
with ambition to usurp positions for
which neither God nor nature ever in
tended her. Under the influence of such
teachers we find woman. especially in
higher circles, neglecting her household
duties, gadding about, never at peace
unless she is in perpetual motion, never
at ease unless she is in a state of NOR
bid excitement. She never feels at home
unless she is abroad. When she is at
home" said the cardinal, "the home is
irksome to her. She chafes and frets
under the restraint and responsibility Of
domestic life. Her heart is abroad. 1t is
exulting in imagination, in some social
triumph or reveling in some scene of
gaiety and dissipation. Her afflicted
husband comes home, to find 1t empty
or occupied by a woman whose heart is
void Of affection for him. She is i'll at
ease; thence rise disputes, quarrels, dis
arrangements, and the
last act Of the drama II often divorce. I
