The Increase OF Suicides j..

The majority Of suicides are towards.
A small number are deranged in mind
and once in a long while a person takes
his own life because it is best for the
world and for himself that he does so,
1t is certain that the impulse that i'm
pelS a man to desert his wife and chill.
dren in the midst of the battle of life
cannot be a worthy one. The husband
who seeks relief in suicide from real OF
fancied grievances and leaves his wife
and children to continue the contest
handicapped by sorrow and disgrace hi
act places upon their shoulders, is q
coward. The mar or woman who
shrinks from the performance of {
duty, who flies before the first appear
ance of disease or misfortune, who can
not bear his or her allotted share of ad
versity. is a coward. 1t is cowardice
behind four-ffth of the increasing
number of understanding but tn
most selfish, craven, contemplate COW
ardice.
Recently an order was promulgated il
the German army that IA soldier who at
tempts suicide shall be treated as a de
%serter. Other plans have been suggest
ed to check the increasing tendenc,
toward suicide, but none are able to de
crease the crime, for crime it is. TIL,
conditions of life are easier and NOR,
liberal than they were a decade or
century ago, and yet failure in bust
ness, failure in love affairs, failure il
married life, failure in school, failure il
health, failure to find employment, fail
ure to find a cool spot in summer, ar,
some of the failures, often very trivia
failures, that drive men and women t,
take their own life. There is no remedy
but an education of public opinion s,
that it will not pity a suicide but vii
condemn him.

The administration of justice in New
Mexico is upon a much higher plane than
formerly, and the territory has a judi.
ciary that really works. and makes a
slncere effort to keep up with court
business, at the same time seeking to
administer justice fairly and firmly.
Here in the first district Judge McFie,
as is shown by the annual reports OF the
district clerk, is doing splendid work.
As a consequence cases which have been
pending for years have been removed
from the docket, and crime is on the
decrease. This is in pleasant contrast
to certain periods under Democratic
rule, when crime was rampant, the
court business accumulated at o rapid
rate, and was disposed of very slowly.

SUCCESS IN MINING.
1t Gan Be Attained by Painstaking and
Intelligent Methods.

New York Mining News.)
Almost all Of the paying mining prop
critics which are being operated to-day
on the Pacific coast, says the San
Francisco Chronicle, have been devel-
oped by the most p%ainstaking and intel
ligent methods and the employment of
economical processes evolved through
hard-earned experience. and, in some
cases, at considerable cost. Most Of the
men who are now enjoying fortunes
taken out of the Pacific coast mines
have merely reaped the legitimate fruit
Of good judgment. 1t is this quality,
backed by grit, patience and p%ersever-
ance that has won in most cases. The
profits wrung from the rocks have been
obtained usually through calculations
as close as were yer made by any
manufacturer of a staple article of
trade when meeting the keenest kind Of
competition,

The larger cities are spending con.
siderable money for play grounds for
children. Educators know now that it
is equally as important to teach children
to play and to exercise as it is to teach
them reading and writing. Land is SO
cheap in New Mexico that every school
house should have a large play ground
attached to it, that could be made not
only a place for recreation but a beauty
spot as well.

President McKinley's letter of accept
ance is a clear presentation of Republi-
can principles, and a convincing argu-
ment for the necessity of continuing the
present Republican administration in
power. 1t is not a defense of the work of
the Republican administration of the
past four years, for President Mckinley
and his advisers need no defense, but it
is a strong presentation of what has been
achieved for the glory, progress and
prosperity of the nation.

The agitation for better sleeping cars
and lower sleeping car rates is timely.
Sleeping cars should only have n tier
of berths instead of two, and the heavy
curtains and the thick blankets should
be discarded in favor of lighter material
that can be disinfected much easier,
As to the rates, they are high when it is
considered that the rates of berths in
tourist cars are much lower, although in
some respects those cars are mole COM
Portable and yet yield a profit.

Forty years ago it was first suggested
that the best method of securing the
safety of passengers on a train is to com
pei one of the directors of the railroad
company to ride on the cowcatcher OF
buffer of every passenger train. Judg-
ing by the terrible railroad accidents In
the east the past few weeks the sugges.
ton is still a timely one.

for swimming it when there was need,
 lost in it; drowned in the water and
 swallowed by the sands.
 Occasionally it is necessary to get
 across with a wagon when the flood is
 running; as where a trail outfit have
 cattle to deliver and cannot wait for
 the water to run down. In this event,
 the herd is driven across, and if there
 are 1000 head or more they will pack
 the sand solid enough to make the pas
 sage of the wagon safe, provided Of
 course, the water is not too deep; but
 in any event. as soon as the herd Is on the other side, the cowboys all hurry back to the wagon, and, tying their ropes either to it or to the teams hitched to it, give the word to the teamster and dash on at run, yelling and shooting to frighten their horses, while he whoops and whips at his mules and the big wagon bounds along, now nearly upsetting over the uneven places in the channel, now sinking to the bed in the water and swinging down the stream with the current, but always moving rapidly over the course the cattle made for it.
 If a mule goes down in the harness there is no help for him, for it would be folly to stop the wagon, it would sink to the aXles in half minute, and in another the box would be washed away If the animal can get to his feet, good enough; but if he cannot, there are his three fellows to pull him and the wagon, without counting the dozen or more trained rope-horses that are each capable of pulling and are pulling 800 or 500 pounds apiece. If there should be a bad tangle, so that the wagon has to be abandoned, the boys will stay with it to the last they will swing down to their saddles the struggling, floundering mules and cut and slash to free them from the harness, but, finally, when they have to give it up, they try, if there is time, to get their bedding out of the wagon, and, swinging it across the saddles, ride on out to the herd. The teamster, having no horse, catches a rope and is glad to have one of the boys drag him out; as he is also the cook, and consequently to blame for the mishap, the fellow who has the privilege of dragging him makes the most of his opportunity. However, if no trouble occurs, they never think they have done anything more than very mean job, which to them has no pleasing aspect whatever.-Tascosa Tex Correspondence Chicago Record
