Promoting Matrimony.

The conference of charities and cor
rections, which met at Topeka, serious
ly discussed the question of bringing
the surplus of young women OF the
New England states to the west to
make wives for the surplus of young
men in the west. A matrimonial bureau
is to be established, and several train
loads of New England girls are to be
brought to Kansas and Colorado. The
prospective husbands are to pay the
railroad fare and expenses. The plan
looks pretty well on paper, but in prac-
tiee it will not work. Wholesale con-
senicnce marriages are apt to turn out
to be Lrt Apply marriages, and the phi
lanthropists had better leave tt"il
hands off the marriage business. The
western young man who wants a wife
fas spunk enough to find one, AMI If
he has to travel all the way to MaSsH-
chusetts to get her. Importations in
thai line to the west are not called for
at the present time, and the Sympathy
wasted upon western young men on ac-
C. ant of their single b~lessedness ehou!d
he ruined into other channels, VIII re
sympathy will be appreciated moe.

The eastern Democrats have

The eastern Democrats have given
UP all hope thai the Democratic nation
al ticket will be elected this fall. They,
however, urge the Democrats to make
an effort to capture the house of repre-
sentatives. This they say is necessary
in order to rebuke President Mckinley
and the party in power. 1t has hap
pened only twice in seventy years that
the party gaining the presidency has
lost the house, and this last hope of
eastern Democrats will go %glimmering
as did their hope to dominate their own
party this year.

A Lesson in Enterprise.

The town of Lamar, in Colorado, last
week celebrated the fourteenth ami
versary of it's founding. Its growth is
a lesson to towns of New Mexico. 1t
was founded during the boom days
caused by the coming Of the Santa Fe
railroad. When that boom died the eX-
istence of the town was imperiled, and
many of the other mushroom towns of
that day. 1t was situated in a typical
arid region. But the people of Lamar
did not give up. They knew that they
had a perfect climate, they knew that
if they could put water upon the parch-
ed land around them it would bloom
like a garden, and would support a
large population, and they knew that
If a town is surrounded by a rich agri-
cultural region, business and industry
will make their home there. So
they set to work to construct a sys-
tenn of reservoirs and canals that Is
now one of the largest irrigation sys-
TENS in the west. One canal is 113 miles
lOIlS, dIlu It's Htdu6dlC lie III uSled
of vitrified brick and cement. 1t is 81
feet wide, and has a depth Of s feet.
Another canal Is 40 miles long, and
there are several canals over thirty
miles long and of great width and
depth. The reservoirs cover an area of
twenty-three square miles, varying In
depth from 65 to 80 feet. Lying under
these canals and reservoirs there are
$50, 900 acres of land which can be ir-
rigated. OF these, 100000 acres are I'M
der cultivation, leaving plenty of room
for future growth. There is no more
productive land under the sun than this
section, now so a%bundantly supplied
" 18th water. Lamar has become one of
the most beautiful and most prosper
Gus cities In Colorado. Other towns suf-
fer from the closing down of mines. OF
smelters or of other industries, but La
mars prosperity Is not affected much
by any Of these, for there Is no surer
and more steady source of prosperity
for a city than to be surrounded by a
rich agricultural region.
Lamar has accomplished that much
in fourteen years. There are many
towns in New Mexico, Santa Fe in ,lud-
ed. which might accomplish the same IL
they are sufficiently in earnest about 1t.

Eittjnu C0nyicts for Life.

William Hunter, warden Of the Iowa
p~enitentiary, has introduced a new
method Of rewarding convicts for good
behavior. There are three grades and
a different uniform is worn by each
grade. The various ranks eat at sepa-
rate tables, and the lower grades are
required to do the less desirable work.
Newly received convicts are placed in
the second grade, and they have an op-
portunity to go either way. Mr.. Hunter
has also established an elaborate school
system in which the educated convicts
are given a chance to teach their more
ignorant fellows. Over fifty of these
could not write when he tool hold, but
most of them have been taught to do so.
The warden will also ask the next Iowa
convict with a certain mount OF
to start with. The prisoner will
then be compelled to earn his own way
within the limits of the institution. Not
until a convict has accumulated a GER
tain mount of savings will he be enti-
tied to his release. He must pay for his
own board and pay for his own Clothes,
receiving daily wages for the work he
does. Fines are to be imposed for in
fractions of the rules, so that it will be
an object for the convicts to behave
themselves.
Some of these ideas may seem fantas-
tic, but when it is remembered that the
main object of pe%nitentiaries is to fit
men for life after they have been dis
charged from the penal institution,
rather than to punish them, then it
must be admitted that the ideas that
underlie the plans of the Iowa warden
are in the main good ones.

fields only for private investment. The
ice trust may lead New York to build
a municipal ice plant. New York con-
sumes over 5000, 900 tons of ice a year.
The trust has cornered over 1000, 600
tons. and is selling it at it's own prices.
The cost of manufacturing ice is only
between 5 and 6 cents per 100 pounds,
and yet the trust charges 60 cents per
100 pounds, which is equal to a profit of
l, 900 per cent. 1t seems that the trust
era is the prelude to the day of social
ism, of which municipal or government
ownership is n of the principal tenets.

Pearl Buttons.

Pearl button making was first made
possible in the United States by the
Mckinley tariff of 1892. OF course the
industry was nearly destroyed by the
free trade Wilson bill Of 1894. After
further protection was given the indus
try by the Dingley tariff of 1897, the
eighth biennial report of the bureau Of
labor statistics for the state of Iowa
say:
"A remarkable development Of the
business was witnessed in 1898, no less
than thirty-six factories being estab-
lished during the first six months Of
that year"

people. The anti-imperialists and the

Democratic nominee for President" said
w. Bourke Cochran, who spoke here to-
night at the race conference.
THAT depends, I say frankly. upon the
Kansas City platform and the spirit in
which it is submitted to the American peo-
pie. If that platform is only a reiteration
of the platform of 1896 I shall not sup
port 1t or the nominee. I an unalterably
opposed TO the Mckinley policy toward
our new possessions. I oppose militar-
ism. I oppose imperialism. I oppose
trusts. If the platform takes a decided
stand in opposing these questions and
the spirit is in favor of making them
predominant I shall support 1t and do all
can in my state for the ticket. Other
