McCardcll an invitation to the tenth an
niverSary of their marriage, to be cele-
brdted at their home on Thirty-fourth
street, Woodclitf-on-Hudson, N. j.,
Saturday evening, November ~ The

The invitation Is very unique, containing
halftone portraits of the McCardell family of
five in a grouo, separate pictures of Mr.. and
Mrs McCariel and splendid picture of the
handsome home, with directions how to
reach it. In the inside of the back cover is
the following poem by Mr. McCardell:
lS90-l9OO.
A few little days to toll and MOL.
A few little nights to dream,
few little fears and few little tears,
a few little joys supreme.
A few little treasures, few little pleasures,
A few little hearts so true
few little bills and a few little ills
And our few little days are through.
So few little simple songs we'll sing,
A few little words we'll say,
To mark the changes that time arranges
AS the little years go their way.
A few little meetings, a few little greetings,
A few little hands to hold,
That there be less sadness and a little more
gladness
AS life's little story is told.
A Frostburg gentleman, also honored,
responded in kind as follows:
Just few little attemptsto fashion
The thought of an untrain'd mind
A few little wishes from my hearts deep
That fate may always be kind.
Tothose little pledges that Love hath brought,
And those who for them must care,
| send great lOngings to be at Woodcllif,
And regret can't be there.
The JOURNAL has responded i'll ga few
little paragraphs of lame prose.

Pecos valley contains the great irriga-
ton system which has reclaimed a large
part of it's area. The climate Is almost
semi-tropical, and the soil. when irrl-
gated, is fertile. But it's remoteness
from centers of population has prevent
ed rapid development. 1t is connected
by rail with the Texas & Pacific on the
south, and with the railroad system Of
the Texas Panhandle by a line only re-
Gently constructed. The country be-
tween the Pecos and the Rio Grande
has recently been penetrated by a rail-
road running northeast from Ell Paso,
Tex, which has brought into touch with
the outside world a locality that seems
to contain great mineral wealth.
A geological survey should have been
made of that part of New Mexico years
ago. 1t is a neglected section of the
southwest, and it is possible that the
expedition will bring to light facts that
will cause it to be carefully %prospected.
This is the work that the Hayden sur
vey did for Colorado nearly thirty years
ago, says the Denver Republican, and
every one knows what assistance that
survey has been to miners and pros
pectors in this state.

Chinese Trade and The United States.

The disturbance in China affects the
United States in more than one way.
Several of the eastern cotton factories
whose chief market is in China have
closed down already. China alone takes
two-thirds of the uncolored cotton
goods and one-sixth Of the colored cot
ton goods manufactured In the United
States. The cutting off of this market
affects 300. 900 workmen, or, with their
families, 1000, 900 people. The Great
Northern railroad has given notice to
its agents not to contract any freight
for China designed for the interior of
that empire, and in consequence there
will be a great falling off in the number
of tons of freight transported by tlans-
continental railroads, as well as by
trans-Pacific ships, which will result in
many men being thrown out of employ
ment. Other branches of industry might
be mentioned which are affected by the
closing of the Chinese markets to
American commerce. 1t will be seer
therefore that the United States no
o'5 uepeIhus ~dito6ctHer upoH Ioile
markets for the support Of it's indus
tries. The interests of this country are
nj longer entirely insular and indie
pendent from those Of other nations,
and despite the rantings of the anti
expansionists the extension of American
territory and American trade Is a neces- /
sary factor for further growth in
and prosperity.

The Battle Ground.

The battle-ground in the presidential
campaign has been shifted from New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut to
the middle west. Illinois, Indiana, Wis
consin and Minnesota will be the states
that are to be fought for in November.
Not that those states are doubtful in
any sense Of the word, but the Demo-
Gratis will concentrate all their energy
to make them doubtful, and while the
Republican national committee will not
admit that this is possible, yet the hard
work of the Democrats might result in
the loss of several congressional dis
tricts unless the Republicans work
equally as hard to roll up a big major
ity in the middle west. New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut, which, in the
first and second Cleveland elections,
were doubtful states, are no longer in
that category, for the steady gains that
the Republicans have made in the east
have turned them into Republican
strongholds, while such former strongly
Democratic states as Maryland and
Delaware are now in the doubtful col
umn, or, like West Virginia, will give
a large Republican majority this year
if the Republicans work hard enough
for ii.

The CLIFF DWELLER RUINS.
They Should Be Set Aside as a National
Park,
Denver Republican,


The secretary of the interior Will do
we'll if he approves the report of Mr..
Pracht, special agent of the depart
ment, recommending that the locality
of the cliff dweller ruins be set aside as
a reservation.
These ruins should be preserved as
far as possible, and all excavations
should be conducted by authorized and
competent persons. They are of inter-
est chiefly because of their bearing up
on the history of civilization in the
| western hemisphere, but If no provision
is made for their protection against rel
ic hunters it nay be but a few years
until they are destroyed. By setting
| that locality apart as a reservation and
| placing guards on the roads leading to
the ruins, it would be easy to prevent
unauthorized persons from removing
any of the relics or injuring the dwell
ings.
Whatever Investigations may be
made should be conducted by men fitted
| by education and experience for the
work. Only in this way can the best
results be secured. The remains of these
ancient habitations should be studied
with great care, and the implements
and utensils of the people who lived in
them should be classified and examined
with reference to the light they may
throw upon the civilization of the race
and the period of its existence.
Probably much valuable information
may be CLEANED in that way, but one
should discourage the belief that the
age Of the cliff jewellers antedates that
Of the ancient known civilizations OF
Egypt and Asia. There is practically
nothing yet to indicate that the inhab-
itants of the Cliff dwellings differed, in
important particulars, from the MoquI
Indians of this day, except in so lar as
the latter have been affected by mod
ern civilization. There is little doubt
that the cliff dwellings were abandoned
before the Spanish conquest, but the
suggestion that they are older than the
pyramids of Egypt is not at present en-
titled to serious consideration.

It is apparent from an opinion given
by District Attorney r. c. Gortner that
county school superintendent are duty
bound to bring legal action for mall
feasance in office against the schoo d.
rectors who fail to hold elections for
their successors at the time appointed
by law. This negligence on the part of
the school authorities in outlying dis
tricts Is rather too frequent, and sew
eral prosecutions and convictions would
probably have the desired effect Of
arousing more interest in the school at
fairs Of their locality. which school d.
rectors should possess. II they intend

not have accepted election or appoint

The complaint Of Colonel Bryan made
in 1896, that nearly all the newspapers
of character are opposed to his election,
will have to be repeated again in 1900.
Such stalwart Democratic newspapers
as the St. Paul Globe, the New Haven
Register, the New York Evening Post,
the New York Times, the Boston Her.
aid, the Chattanooga Times, the Hart
| ford Times and other Democratic and
Independent papers oppose Brya'l and
Organism. Even the yellow New York
World cannot swallow Bryan and
what he stands for, and the Louisville
Courier-Journal, the Baltimore Sun and
other straight-out Democratic journals,
which support the party through thick
and thin, spit upon the platform and
it's candidate. They look forward with
something akin to pleasure to the
smashup in November, which will elm
mate Colonel Bryan forever from the
field of Democratic politics and will
bring the old war horses to the front
again.

Pekin are being constantly received by
the Chinese ministers in foreign capt.
tails, and therefore the demand of the
United States Immediately to be put in
direct communication with Minister
COnger is a very natural one, and
refusal Of which will demonstrate to a
certainty that he was murdered, and
that the Chinese government was i'm
plicated in the murder. That the United
States in that case will demand retribu-
ton Is certain, and in consequence this
present administration will probably
fight another successful war before 1t
succeeds itself on next March 4.

Roswell is working for good roads to
lead to and from the town. 1t Is to the
advantage of New Mexico cities to have
the roads leading to them in good con-
dition. A start should be made at once
to build a mile or two of good road ev-
cry year out of the principal towns. If
out of current expenses, and with time
each city would be the center of a
splendid system of good roads, which
would not only insure all the trade OF
the surrounding country being kept fol
the city, but would also draw new res
idents and new industries, as we'll as
lead to the development of the country
round about.

Superintendent Cove, of Denver, read
a paper at the meeting Of the National
Educational Association in favor of fed
eral control of public education. He
took the ground that a different system
of education in each state and even in
each county and in each district has
tended to weaken the cause of public
education in the nation. This sounds
rather socialistic, but there is consid-
cradle truth at the bottom of it. The
United States is proud of it's system,
or rather systems, of public education,
| and there is no reason why they should
not be placed under national supervi-
| sion and control, the same as is done
| successfully in a number of European
countries.
