IF the French politicians keep in let
ter and in spirit 'the Truce of the Ex-
position" for the six months that it is
to last, the Exposition will be worth
every centime it may cost the nation.
More than anything else the French
people need a rest from political strife.
The antagonism of parties has reached
close on to the point of explosion and
the Truce proclaimed in the name of
the Exposition is happy relief. AT
the end of six months many of the most
active sources of irritation will have
disappeared and the professional agi.
tators will have lost much of their in.

Civic Housekeeping
MRS. Il. L. l.. MOUNTC ASTLE.

1t is the desire of the writer of this
article to present in a distinctly prac-
teal way, some suggestions of civic
housekeeping, whereby we may have
more beautiful and more healthful
homes. and that each citizen may
derive the most good and the
greatest comfort from the least ex-
penditure and that society generally
may obtain the greatest benefit from
the total effort, and in order that each
one may derive the same laid and COM
fort" from society. At the very outset
it is necessary to point out that it is
the total effort of each man, woman
and child that is to be regarded, and
not any special class, for all are equally
involved, therefore, all must equally
work.
We may theorize all we will; it is
not in theory, but practice we expect
to meet success.
Then, how to live is the essential
question for us: not to live in the ma
terial sense only, but in the broadcast
way: that not only we may attain hap
piness, the pursuit of every man, but
that our neighbor may enjoy the same
felicitOus state of existence.
Not only is thorough organization
and administration essential in every
department of work along the lines, but
all the energy, vitality, ingenuity,
mental and physical strength of every
co-worker is required. In all better
ment of home and municipal life, there
certainly should be the most active
sympathy and hearty cooperation
among co-wOrkers.
Practical sanitation is the art of pre-
serving health; perfect health is es-
sential to all alike. 1t is one of the
oldest subjects written about in the
world, and has engaged the attention
of some of the most profound thinkers
we nave only to point to the elaborate
directions of the Mosaic laws in regard
to perfect cleanliness for perfect pres
ervation of health, to note it's import
ance from time immemorial.
The divine command given to Moses
to return to his people and first have
them purify themselves, and wash their
clothing before he gave them the moral
laws from Mount Sinai, is it self sug-
gestive. 1t is highly probable that the
periodical cleansing of their dwellings
in search of leaven, may have been a
divine order for spring housekeeping,
as this was just prior to their Passover
Feast, which occurred in April. A
very ancient and beautiful Arabian GUS
tom, was to wash their hands with soap

ing such information, that there is such
a law, and when the knowledge comes
home to every one that there is law
many will cease to violate and much
opposition to its enforcement will dis
appear, as its good results are made
manifest in the clearly condition of the
pavements and the added satisfaction
comes to all who walk them, saying
nothing of the sanitary aspects of the
question.
It should be the effort of all by agi-
tating the question in the press, and in
the clubs, and at the fireside, to have
such laws enacted, and by the same
agitation arouse public sentiment that
will require enforcement of the law.
If we do not perform this work such
laws will hardly be passed, and if pass
ed, will forever sleep unexecuted.
These are only part, very small
part, of the work lying ready for Our
hands to do, and which will remain I'M
done if not done through our instru-
mentality.
The agitation for reform in civic
housekeeping has only just begun prac-
tically in our State, but soon we hope
and believe that the work will enlist
the sympathies and command the lest
efforts and thought of all serious and
earnest women.

WITHOUT regard to party affiliations
there is a wide spread feeling of sur
prise and regret caused by the unex-
pected and inopportune announcement
of Admiral Dewey that he is candi-
date for President. Previous declara-
tions of Admiral Dewey had led the
country to believe that he was content
with the unprecedented hOnOrs won by
him in the profession of which he is a
master and that no Establishments of
politicians could tempt him into the
realm of politics where he of necessity
classes in the awkward squad. The an
nouncement is i'll advised and unwise
and topples the hero from the high
pedestal on which grateful public had
placed and would fain keep him.

Chattanooga Letter.

The correspondent of the Chattanooga
Woman's Club has had serious teach
of spring fever which has made all du-
ties and pleasures assume the size and
forbidding aspect of young mountains.
Spurred vigorously by an unrelenting
conscience this said correspondent is
going to make an effort to at least send
you the pleasurable tidings that the
Woman's Club is neither dead nor
sleeping. In truth we have been en-
joying right lovely meetings interspers-
ed with two days of relaxation.
On March 9Th was held our election
of officers. To the regret of the entire
club Mrs. G. M. Greve refused to serve
another year as president. For six
years Mrs. Greve has stood devotedly
at the helm and she felt that she had
earned an opportunity to-as she ex-
pressed it-"Sit on the back seat and
whisper" Mrs. H. B. Case, as record
ing secretary, has stood shoulder to
shoulder with Mrs. Greve throughout,
and she also declined to allow herself to
be reelected. In token of the love
borne them the club bestowed upon
Mrs. Greve and Mrs. Case life men,
bership in the Woman's Club, with all
it's privileges and exemptions.
Officers were then elected as follows:
Mrs. Frank Woodwork, President.
Mrs. L. D. Eakin, Vice-President.
: Mrs. J. G. Reid, Rec. SeGSetarN,,
7 Mrs. David Sl00ni, COT. Sscfo5lE
Mrs. D. M. Steward, Treasurer.
Literary Committees: Hall, Rowles
and Guilliams.
Delegates to State Federation: Mrs.
G. M. Greve and Mrs. H. B. Case.
The following Monday from three to
six was devoted to the social pleasures
of Presidents Day. The outgoing ex-
ecutive board ext,-.led the courtesies
of the season to the newly elected men,
bers in a most happy fashion. Miss
Jessie Trimble, former Chattanooga,
who sailed recently for Paris to repre-.
sent the Chicago Record, was the guest
of honor. Miss Trimble gave a most
instructive talk upon the subject OF
"College Settlements, and also a little
outline of what her work in Paris is to
be.
The meetings of March twentieth and
April third were taken up in the study
of Spanish History and Literature. All
eyes are now turned toward Memphis,
for the Federation and the wonderful
things to be accomplished during the
time of it's converting are the topics Of
most absorbing interest.

New Mexico Would Grow.

A writer In a paper published in a To-
cality where opposition to anything ia
vored by the rest of the territory Is the
rule of action Of an element contends
that statehood is not necessary for the
advancement Of the material interests
OF New Mexico, and declares that the
increased number Of investments
proves this. New Mexico IL certainly re-
garded more favorably by investors
than of yore, but this is largely due to
the fact that discussion Of the state
hood bill has brought about a general
knowledge that the territory Is worthy
Of admission, rel II the privilege be
not granted, and there is a general i'm
preston everywhere that favorable &C.
ton upon the claims of the territory
will not be much longer delayed, now
that the nation Is broadening in its
ideas with reference to the treatment Of
annexed territory and people Of other
than Anglo-saxon lineage. Never vet
has a state been created without q de-
cided movement of immigrants and
capital to the state, and 1t 10 fair to
presume that where one dollar or one
person seeks New Mexico now, ten
would come directly following admis-
sion rs a state, and the movement
would begin even earlier upon assur-
ancs that such action would be taken
BY congress at an early date. All that
New Msxico needs to make her spring
forward q more people, with
money to establish new industries and
levslep the resources Of the territory.

Swapping Bonds.

Under the new financial bill the gov
eminent will redeem a large number of
outstanding bonds bearing foul n five
per cent interest, with new ones bearing
two per cent. None will be put on sale
by the government, but If the owners
wish to exchange bonds which may soon
expire for the new ones having longer
to run,t they can do so and receive a pre-
MUM in cash sufficient to bring the in
terest rate up to two and one-fourth per
cent for their term of duration. Thus
the holder of a bond for $1,000 may sur
render it and receive a new bond and
800 in cash to make up in part for the
loss of interest, he will suffer by the sur
render Of a bond bearing a higher rate
of interest. Still the government will
greatly reduce the amount Of interest
now being paid. The national banks,
which are allowed to issue notes &C"
cording to the amount Of government
bonds they deposit, are eager to secure
the new bonds and in some cases are al
ready making contracts with holders of
the old bonds for the purchase of the
new ones to be received, and paying Il
premium IF from five to six cents on the
dollar for the securities.

Ten Million Dollar Country.

The secretary of the cattle sanitary
board of New Mexico, reports that the
shipments of cattle from the territory
last year had q value Of So, BAT, 532. He
could not ascertain the value of animals
slaughtered within the territory as hide
shipments can be made without inspec-
ton. Perhaps the value Of wool and
sheep sent from New Mexico during the
year was not less than that of cattle,
while the value of ores and precious
metals produced from the mines was
equal to about three more millions of
dollars. New Mexico is getting to be a
very rich territory. Certainly much
of the money received from these prod
ucts went to pay transportation
charges, but the large deposits in the
banks of the territory show that a sat
isfactory margin of profit remained to
the people. New Mexico Is a long way
from being a pauper land. While the
earnings of the producers largely go
eastward for supplies, still the people
are accommodating money and are we'll
out of debt. Henceforth they can ac-
cumulate more rapidly as the interest
charges most of them have had to meet
in other years have been cut off and
cash talks down prices Of supplies when
It comes to buying.

After the Pops.

There is now a deal on to induce the
Populists to surrender their date of May
5, and their place Of holding a national
convention at Sioux Falls and go to
Kansas City to ratify the nominees of
the Democratic convention. 1t Is under
stood the Populists will nominate Bry-
an, but they desire to have a Populist
candidate for vice president. This was
the object of selecting Sioux Falls for a
convention, to get away from the Dem
ocracy and anticipate action by thai
party. The Populists thought that II
they chose a candidate for the vice
presidency the Democratic convention
might nominate the same man. But
they Will probably be caved down the
bank by the Democrats. 1t is very con-
fusing to have two candidates running
with Bryan. as was the case in 1896
when Watson was the representative
of the Populists. Hence the scheme tc
get the Populists to Kansas City to yoke
them up.

Trust Legislation.

The industrial commission which has
investigated trusts has recommended to
congress that legislation should be en-
acted which will require combinations
to give publicity to their transactions,
or that government officers should do
this by authority Of law. This line Of
action has been suggested by others.
The effect would be good as far as it
goes, for the public would learn some
things which would serve to bring
about restraining laws and also keep
many people from losing their money
by investing in securities Of combina-
tons which now manage to deceive.
Congress should at once get down to
this subject and pass legislation which
can apply to the forms of combinations
now in vogue, the Sherman antitrust
law enacted by q Republican congress
many years ago not covering the meth
DDS under which trusts are formed now
adays, when pooling to maintain prices
Is not followed. The Sherman law has
been sustained by the supreme court,
but the corporations do not now pool.
One buys others and maintains n mo-
nopoly. Therefore an up-to-date law lie
needed to hold down combinations in
restraint of trade. The Democrats will
not be true to their record Of opposition
II they do not object to the passage Of
any antitrust law that Republicans
may offer. The Democracy does not
want antitrust laws passed before the
election, for their party would lose one
Of it's subjects for talk, and would
rather not have the trusts suppressed
than for Republicans to accomplish the
Job successfully. When the national
convention meets at Philadelphia ex-
pressions in favor Of legislation to re-
strain injurious business combinations
should not be necessary. for there
should be an Endorsement of laws on
that subject enacted by the present
congress before political conventions
assemble.

Regarding improvement of the ranges
the report says that one of the most i'm
portant factors would be the establish
ment of some system Of control which
would allow the rancher the exclusive
right to Craze his stock on a given piece
of land for a long term of years.
In connection with the Investigations
Of forage conditions in the Rocky noun
tain region, the department will con-
duct a series of experiments with for
age plants and grasses which are grown
upon the great plateaus of Asia with
out moisture and with but little rainfall.
If found adaptable to the elevated
plains Of the eastern Rocky mountain
region an effort will be made to have
ranchmen of this region supplied with
seeds of these grasses and plants for
use in reseeding exhausted" lands.

For a Deep Waterway.

The advocates of a deep waterway
from the great lakes to the gulf of
Mexico claim that by the expenditure
Of $25, 900, 900 such deepening Of the
channel Of the rivers can be made as
will admit of ocean vessels going from
the lakes to tidewater. The Chicago
drainage canal alone has cost $35, 900, 900.
There are numerous lines of railway
from the lakes to the gulf which make
it unnecessary for the government to
establish a transportation system in
that direction, though doubtless such a
deep waterway would help to build up
much more traffic than at present ex-
lists, and cause much Of the shipping
which now goes to the Atlantic to seek
the gulf. OF course, once launched up
on this undertaking, the government
would have to spend many times $685.
900, 900. Meantime the boosters Of this
scheme would doubtless object to the
government retaining its own lands in
the west through a system of irrigation
reservoirs for the storage Of flood wa
ters of streams.

The sugar trust is not the whole
thing, after all, for the competition
from others has caused the usual divi-
dend to be reduced one-half. The Amer
lean Sugar Company claims that 1t now
makes but little money. because 1t sells
cheap to prevent the rival companies
succeeding. The cut Of one-tenth of a
cen a pound this week in the price of
sugar was evidently made to injure
competitors. This following the re-
duced dividend, the syndicate manag-
ing the American company will prob
ably pick up enough stock which comes
on the market because of the small div
idend and the reduction in price of su-
gar to make up for any losses they may
sustain. The man on the inside of the
great Havemeyer trust does not need to
get left ever II sugar be given away for
awhile.

newspaper reading. but not to open the
mails to yellow-back novels. Legiti-
mate book publishers do not seek to
force their wares into the malls, but the
pirates who steal the products Of writ

paper, with poor type, manage to get
their stuff into the mails under the
guise Of periodicals, thus furnishing to
the public much that should not be read
and would not be but for the cheapness
afforded through misuse of the mails.
While congress permits the law to

San JUAN STOCK INTERESTS.
The Range Has Recovered With Best and
Better Prices Invite Stock Growing.

Better Prices Invite Stock Growing.
In the palmy days of yore, stock
growing was at once the most remuner-
alive as we'll as the most important in
dustry in San Juan county. Fruit
growing and agriculture were hardly
thought Of at that time, the quick and
easy profits in cattle raising being much
more to the taste Of the first settlers
than the laborious routine Of farm life
and it's slower financial reward. In the
days when the cowboy was king. one
mar owned as many as ten thousand
head Of cattle in San Juan county. The
range was excellent and the prices for
cattle ruled high, and money is said to
have been more plentiful than it has
aver been since. There were two cause
that put and end to this condition Of
affairs. In the first place, the great
slump in live stock prices knocked the
slant crowding Of the range finally
killed out the grass and left the cattle
men without a winter feeding ground.
Ranchmen and orchardists then came
in and, taking out bitches everywhere.
built the edifice of the county's great
ness on q stronger and surer. founda-
ton.
The open winter just passed calls at
tention anew to the possibilities of San
Juan county as a stock reproducing
country. During late years Of COM
~parative rest the range has recovered
something of its past value, and the
great fields Of alfalfa in our valleys are
guarantees against excessive losses ev-
en- in the severest winter. The COM
bination Of winter and summer ranges
granted by San Juan county mesas on
one hand and mountain meadows on
the other. makes a live stock country
hard to beat.
Since live stock prices have advanced
to their former figures, the range ques-
ton again becomes of prime moment.
San Juan county's cattle growers and
sheep owners have lately organized
separate bodies for protection and prof
it, and the ranchmen who are heavy
sellers of hay to the stockmen each
year, are concerned in all that pertains
to the stock business. 1t Is suggested
that some way should be found to fix q
uniform price for hay. In this direction,
1t Is conceded that a uniform, fixed and
equitable price each season would in
vite larger herds to the valleys for win
ter feeding. As 1t is, cattlemen are
quoted prices varying from one to three
dollars on the ton.
The welfare Of the county dictates
that all efforts be made to secure the
assistance Of the stockmen. who put
money in circulation and help to tide
over the years when fruit does not
prove a profitable asset.-Aztec Index.
