NEW MEXICO sANITARIUMS.
Sunny, bright days mark the winter
season, which, until Christmas at least,
is quite Is delightful as the glorious
summer, though crisp and cool. Even
the spring months in Santa Fe cannot
be equaled for mildness in any eastern
state. While hundreds Of tourists visit
the city in summer and make a more or
less protracted stay, the number who
come to remain permanently for the Gu
rative effect upon tuberculous diseases
is all the while increasing. The proper
ton of the latter will be undoubtedly
enlarged in consequence o. the indorse-
ment given New Mexico's climate by
the United States marine hospital serv-
ice, which has in 1899 established two
permanent sanitariums in the territory,
and will maintain them as homes for
soldiers and sailors afflicted or threat
ened with tubercular troubles. Many
years Of life at New Mexico army posts
and a careful examination by experts
led the authorities to take this action
in the interest Of military invalids, and
1t is also intended to remove to New
Mexico consumptive inmates of soldiers
homes in California and eastern states.
Favorable conditions exist all over
New Mexico for restoration to health or
for improving the condition Of such SUI
ferers; a dry, aseptic air, light atmos-
pheric pressure, well drained soil, a
minimum of cold and heat, the absence
of great changes in temperature and a
maximum Of sunshine.
SUNSHINE RECORDS.
AS to the latter point, the latest fig
ures available from the government rec
ords are those Of 1897, the year book Of
1898 having not yet been published. The
summer Of 1897, as 1t happened, was un-
usually cloudy and rainy at Santa Fe,
yet the superiority Of this city in the
matter Of days that were sunny

the War Office to give any information
in regard to the current situation Il
will be observed that the later dispatches
are gloomy in tone. They are unnecessa-
rily So unless. as may be possible.
they are based upon hints
which have been permitted
by the authorities TO prepare the public
mind in England for bad Eews. There was
nothing in the military conditions on Bull
ler's centre and left, as reported TO last
evening, to create any decided Impression
that the attack upon Spion Kop. even if
unsuccessful. would involve disastrous
consequences other than great loss Of
life compared with he numerical force en-
plOyed in the movement. and the effect OF
such a repulse upon the morale Of the
British army. But as We have frequently
remarked, our opportunities for studying
the local situation between SgCingdeId and
Tintwa Pass have been greatly limited by
the insufficiency Of maps and the un-
known factors Of Jouberrs force. defensive
positions. and dispositions.
What news We have today suggests the
inference that the nose Of the Boer semi
circular line projects far enough south
west to render it impracticable for Bull
ler's army with its heavy transport, to
swing around Joubert's extreme right by
way Of Acton Homes without first taking
Spion Kop. and from that salient pound

Although none of the several agitations

preservation OF the Palisades-those pic

ful in stopping the work Of commercial
vandalism. the movement has been revived

is encouraging.
Like all the great handiworks of nature
the Palisades seem to belong In a way. not
only to the whole American people, but 10
all those nations OF the civilized world
where there is exhibited a due appreciation
OF things beautiful. Interest in the eI-
fort for their protection, therefore, is far
from being local or even national The
motive behind such campaigns for the
preservation OF unique natural scenery is.
in an artistic sense. universal. Ii is not
to be doubted that a proposition to de-
molish the Pyramids and the Sphinx. for
the use OF the stone they contain, would
meet with a worldwide and indignant pro-
/ test While the Palisades perhaps. cannot
be Classed with these venerable wonders
Of Egypt they have certain claims to pub
/ lie protection. Tourists from all countries
have been their admirers. and they are by
far the most conspicuous feature of a river
rich in historical "reminiscences. They are
recognized by Europeans as one Of the
most charming sights TO be observed dur
ing an American tour, ranking with Mag
ara. the Yellowstone Park and other nat
Ural attractions.
Some years ago the Palisades OF the Hud-
son attracted the attention Of gentlemen
who gave little or no thought to their
grim beauty. their picturesqUely misshapen
rocks, their sentinel-like aspect against the
blue sky. OF the fact that Hendrick Hudson
had looked with awe upon their prodigious
proportions as he sailed the Halfmoon
nOrthward on his memorable voyage Of
exploration. They saw in these inspiring
masses of stone the raw material for paw
ing city streets and the process of demoli-
ton was commenced. 1t has since pro-
ceeded almost without interruption. Dyna-
mite and machinery have already de-
stroyed many of the curious formations

upon in almost reverentiaI slIeaye, Ere

self useful to the community. But there
are thousands OF parents too selfish, too
avaricious. or too ignorant to give their
children the opportunity Of this training,
even when it is provided by the State:
and this is the very class OF children who
need education most Without the Jaw
compelling children up to a certain age to
be sent TO school, more than one State
with a large immigrant population would
be a bowling wilderness Of anarchy. The
benefits Of the public school are not alto
gether to be measured by mere book
learning. Children from different classes
OF the community are thus brought into
contact. and the ignorant learn from the
more fortunate. In some districts Of
mixed population the pubic school has
done more TO assimilate and reconcile diff
fercnt nadonalities than any other agency.
OF course there must be friction. Chill
dren will draw caste lines. like their
elders-some times they are encouraged
by their elders most uuwisely. The little
foreigner who is slighted by the native
American resents it and some times fights.
But il is infinitely better that such fric-
tion should occur in the schoolroom tEan
at the polls. when two small boys come
TO hsticuTs over social or racial differences.
a wise teacher can usually settle matters.
or at least secure a truce; when the boys,
grown to manhood meet at a political
meeting and are armed with pistols or
knives. the State is likely to be deprived
OF citizen.
There is not much danger OF paternal-
ism in the public schools. II the right
teaching is given. 1t is perfectly proper
that the child should look to the State
for protection. help. and support under
certain conditions, il he is also taught his
duty to the State. That is what civiliza-
tion means. He should be taught to LEI
the law settle his private quarrels. in
stead OF going on the warpath with a
bowie knife; he should also be impressed
by all that is just and right with his
absolute obligation to support the author
tiles. He should be taught to look at
both sides Of a question; to vote con
scientiously. to resist corrupt Influences in
public life, and to support the law. not
only passively. but actively That sort
or paternaIism is entirely proper and
necessary.

WEDNESDAY. JANUARY a. 1900.


The speech Of Mr. Littlefeld of Maine.
in the House Of Representatives yesterday,
in support OF the minority report OF the
committee in the Roberts case, was mas
terly constitutional argument. 1t was lis
tened to with the closest attention by
members. and by citizens who crowded the
galleries. It was so well received and so
generously applauded as to justify i'm
preston that its convincing logic may pro-
duCe a decided effect upon the final vote.
and save the popular branch Of C5us5 5ess
from the stupendous blunder Of estab. ish-
ing an unworthy and unconstitutional
precedent.
Mr.. LittlefeId spoke for two hours. but
the telling points OF his speech in which
he utterly demolished the arguments OF the
majority. can be stated i'm a few sentences.
He declared that. under the proposition ad-
vanced by the majority. no man could tell
whether he possessed the qualifications for
membership until he stood at the bar OF
the House; and denied that the precedents
cited. I'm support of an assumption that the
House had the right 20 add qualifications
not fixed by the Constitution. we're appIica-
Bile or In any way related to the case.
But Mr.. Littlefeld in contravention Of the
majority position did offer n precedent
which. as he stated, was ION all fours''
with the matter in hand. tie cited the
action Of the Senate i'm 1862. in the stark
case. when the Senator-eIect was permit
ted to take the oath under a report from
the Judiciary Committee. which. while de-
clarinR him guilty OF treason against the
United States. decided that ne ought to
Be- seated without prejudice 90 subsequent
proceedings" In view Of this action Mr.
Lituefeld asked how the gentleman from
Ohio, Chairman Tayler. could say that no
precedent against exclusion existed i'm the
American Congress.
Constitution and precedent both admon-
ish us that the House of Representatives.
while it undoubtedly has the pow5T to eX-
pei a member for any cause it may deem
sufficient. has no right to determine the
qualifications OF a member necessary TO
enuitle him to a seat, by any rule other
than that plainly laid down in the Consti-
tuition Of the United States. and that rule
is not an elastic one. but strict iuFis.
The hast ching the majority OF the Rob
erts committee could do would be to with
draw their report and offer that OF the mi
nOrity as a substitute. This course would
be acceptable to the country, which is be
ginning to realize the stupidity. ilegality,
and cowardice Of an action proposed under
pressure Of a public outcry. And it would
save the House of Representatives from
the modification Of having its precedent

common school education. This is apropos
public schools OF Virginia be required to
lecture the children on the evils of "alco-
hOiism-" The paper in question is horri-
fed at the idea. and contends that the
temperance question is a moral question.

taught 20 be independent and self-asserr-
i've, and not TO depend upon Government
rather than on their cwn exertions.
II hardly seems necessary to become ex-
cited over the simple idea that school
children should be taught the physical
evils of alcoholism This is not a moral
but physiological question. II there is
anybody. in Virginia or elsewhere. who
thinks that drunkenness is a good thing
in itself. it would be interesting to hear
his arguments The more teaching chIi-
dren can have about the dangers which at
tend the excessive use OF strong liquors.
especially those which are adulterated.
the less likely they will be to become
drunkards. Il is not at all necessary TO
teach them teetotallism; only physiology.
The effect which the excessive use OF al
cohol has on the nerves and brain and other
organs of the body Is no more a religious
question than a diagram Of a hydrostatic
