voluntary associations and churches
have led the way and tried the expert
ments, not without lavish expenditures
of generous individuals.
The history of the German inner mis-.
sion, catholic and protestant, best illus
trates the most complete and organic
development of unified movement, be-
ginning with the depraved and as.
cending steadily to higher and wider
enterprises, on behalf of the working
classes. The same works are carried for.
ward in America with less unity but
more invention, private initiative and
generous contributions.
The directories of our great city
charities are bulky volumes, and our
selection of illustrations must be severe.
ly limited to few typical examples
which indicate the direction and genius
of the movement. Of the inner spirit
and motive it il more difficult to judge
than of the magnitude of gifts and the
improvement in methods. Yet it is
through study of external manifestations
that we are enabled to interpret the
actions and dispositions of the soul.
Blind Education.
The education of the blind and of
deaf mutes is function of our school
system, not of our charities. And yet
many of these pupils are from depend
ent families and would be helpless with
out public assistance. Their infrmity
makes eloquent appeal to social SYM
pathy, and response has come in costly
institutions, improvements in methods
of teaching, provision of suitable books,
and organization of self help among
adults.
From motives of safety as we'll as of
humanity, attention was early called to
the insane. The progress of social care
of this class has been marked by greater
kindness and skill, by the substitution
of the detached cottage system for the
older, more expensive and less suitable
congregate style; the provision of de-
tention hospitals instead of restraint
with criminals in station houses and
jails; the tendency to remove chronic
cases from pauper houses to asylums.
A saint canonized by all friends of
those bereft of reason was Dorothea
Lynde Dix, a Massachusetts school
teacher, who was taught sympathy by
early orphanage and the dictates of a
noble spirit, who learned the needs of
the insane by visiting institutions and
by travel in Europe. From 1887 she ad
dressed committees and legislatures in
all the states and contributed greatly
to the effort to transfer the insane from
local jails and almshouses to hospitals

RAB.

RAB.
What does he think of, my Scotch collie?
He looks so far away
With searching eyes so deep, so speaking
With words he cannot say.
Across the wide and rolling prairie
We two together walk
In fond companionship, two comrades
Whose hearts together talk.
He looks at me with comprehension
OF all my love for him,
While in his face glows such affection,
1t makes my eyes grow dim.
And when pat his head and smiling
Bend down to scan his face,
1t brightens like sunbeam's shining
Then off we go at rapid pace.
To roam on plains Of fair Nebraska,
To wander through ravine,
To climb the sloping hill-top's summit
And look beyond DER waves Of green.
Up there my Rab seems lost in thinking
And looks so far so far
Away, like sculptured statue standing.
Silent, lest the scene mar,
i
Where all his thoughts must be
And mine go too to Bonnie Scotland
Our homeland DER the sea.
1 see the hills of blooming heather,
hear the shepherds cry,
And feel the bracing air Of Highlands
That proudly greet the sky.
And like flood comes sweep Of visions,
The gathered clans appear
In gayest hues and plaids of tartan,
The chieftains plumes are near.
Harkl Loud and shrill the bagpipes calling,
The herald's shout alarms,
And Scottish heroes come with springing
To lead their hosts to arms.
The warlilze pictures fade and vanish
The air is filled with song,
The harper sings of love and glory
In ballads quaint and long.
Now quickly, gaily, rings the music
That leads the Highland Fling
And merrily the stalwart dancers
In skirts of tartan swing.
And then, the strains grow faint and fainter
Like tales of ancient lore,
Soft whispered calls come up from WOODLAND
And we are back once more.
Again amidst the roll of prairies,
We're in the sunlit-land
And "Rab," say, and Rab looks toward me
And-well, we understand!
We've both been roaming DER the heather,
Both hearts the charm have felt
And love that draw us to the Highlands
Where once our fathers dwelt.

HON. CHARLES A. SFlESS.
San Miguel People Will Make a Wise Choice
by Sending Him t. Council.

Hon. Charles A. Spiess, of Las Vegas,
who has been nominated by the Re-
publicans of San Miguel county, to-
gether with Hon. Frank Springer, for
the council, is not a stranger to pubic
life. With Mr.. Spiess in the council,
San Miguel county will have a repre-
sentative who will be able to look after
the interests of his constituents with a
success that will rebound to their last
ing benefit. His former experience in
the council, his services as district at
torney, which office he holds at present.
have been an excellent schooling to him,
and the fact that he has discharged
those trusts with fidelity earned him
the nomination for the council at the
convention held at Las Vegas recently.
Mr.. Spiess is one of the most popular
political leaders in the territory, and
while he has a few earnest haters, his
friends and the people love him for the
enemies he has made.
Mr.. Spiess was born in Johnson coun-
ty, Mo-, March 10, 1867. He was edu-
Gated in the public schools Of his native
state, his schooling having been COM
pleted by a course at the Missouri nor
NAL college, from which institution he
graduated with honors.
In 1888 he came to Las Vegas, and for
a while did clerical work in that city,

Hon. B. S. Rodey's Record.

What has o. A. Larrazolo ever done
for the nottingham that entities his
organs to accuse Hon. b, S. Rodey
falsely of having opposed the poor
mans interests? In fact, what has Lar
raZOlo eve done or even ever learned
about New Mexico that should entitle
him to be sent as delegate to congress
to represent New Mexico? Hon. b. S.
Rodey introduced a bill in the legisla-
ture, when he was a member of it,
aimed against blacklisting. He never
voted against the fellow-servant bill, as
has been said. because that bill was in
troduced for the first time four years
after Mr.. Rodey had served in the leg
islature. Mr.. Rodey stands for protec-
ton to the American workingman, to
the poor ~sheepherder, as well as the
better-to-do mechanic, while Larrazolo
stands for the policy that would rob the
workingman of his mean of gaining a
livelihood, thai would send the sheep
herder a beggar through the territory.
It is plain to see that the despicable eff
fort of the Populistic papers in the ter
ritory to besmirch the record of Mr..
Rodey in reference to his friendship for
the poor man is made in order to hide
Larrazolo's record, or. rather, lack of
record, in the same direction. Truly, II
Larrazolo We're elected he would not
represent, but would misrepresent, New
Mexico in congress-.

STEVENSON COMEDIES WYOMING.
A Bad Break on Part of the Democratic
Vice Presidential Candidate.
Denver Republican,

Denver Republican,
Evidently the Democratic campaign
managers will have to taxi Adlai Ste
venson in hand. They have been so
busy keeping the bride of restraint on
their orators of the James Hamilton
Lewis and Webster Davis type that
they have not stopped to think that
perhaps the excitement of a campaign
might loosen the tongue of their grand
old concentration of silence from Hi
nois.
Consequently, Mr.. Stevenson, I'M
watched and unrestrained, has succeed
eo in putting his foot in it. He has come
out with a prediction. in which he says,
emphatically and clearly, that Wyo-
ming is going for Mckinley. He care
fully placed Wyoming's three electoral
votes in the Republican column, gave
press, and went to bed satisfied that he
had done a good days work.
To the remnant of the Democratic
forces in Wyoming this will prove a
bombshell. The state leaders of De-
mocracy have been "jollying" Hon.
James X. Jones and others at national
headquarters into the belief that Wyo-
ming is sure to go for Bryan, or, at the
worst that it Is to be classed among the
very doubtful states. Consequently,
Mr.. Kajones and Vice Chairman john
son, to say nothing of such expert claim
artists as James Creelman and William
Rausmittem Hearst, have always duti-
fully put Wyoming in the Democratic
column in all preceding estimates,
claims and predictions.

1T Is NOT STRANGE.
Why New Mexico Objects to Larrazolo's
Friendship for Ell Paso.
Albuquerque Journal-Democrat.)

Albuquerque Journal-Democrat.)
The Ell Paso News thinks it very
strange that any one in New Mexico
delegate from this territory because he
is friendly to Texas. Under ordinary
conditions this might be true, but un-
der the peculiar conditions existing at
the present time nothing could be more
natural, and if the conditions We're re-
versed the Texas people would feel
about the matter just as the New Mexi-
go people now do.
Since there is not water enough in the
Rio Grande at best to give the farmers
of the valley as much as they need, it
is not strange that they should object
to being represented in Washington by
a delegate whose friendship for FL Paso
would cause him to look the other way
while a congressman from Texas put
through a scheme to steal what little
water there is and appropriate it to the
benefit of the farmers of Texas.
The international dam scheme pro-
Vlued Tor IN the STEPHENS Dill is Simply
a scheme to prevent the farmers of New
Mexico from taking my more water
from the Rio Grande or any of it's trib-
u~taries, and even the papers of Ell Paso
do not pretend to deny that MI. LARA
zolo's friendship for thai town would
cause him to favor that scheme when
Mr.. Stephens brings it up again, or at
least do nothing to prevent its passage.
Mexico people want to represent them
in congress. They want a man who will
fight this scheme and fight it to a fin
ish, and hat is one of the reasons why
they have made up their minds to elect
Mr.. Rodey.

pleted his law studies commenced some
years before, being admitted to practice
in 1891.
During the years 1893, 1894 and 1895 he

Principles and Men,.

The county campaign is one of princi-
pies as we'll as of men. The straight Re-
publican ticket stands for open and just
methods in politics. The spurious Re
publican ticket stands for whatever is
under-handed and high-handed, for
star chamber proceedings, If not for
bribery and open corruption. The men
on one ticket are good citizens and tax
payers, who have the interests of the
county and of the people truly at heart,
while on the other ticket are men who
own no property in this county, who
pay no taxes, who have been leeches
only upon private individuals or upon
the community. whom no private man
would intrust with a cent Of his own.
Much less should they be trusted with
the handling of public moneys or of
public affairs.

A wise nan at Albuquerque has built
five siX-room cottages with all modern
conveniences for the especial benefit of
health-seekers, and he rents them at a
moderate figure, leaving him, however,
a better income from the investment
thar if he had put out the money on
interest. AS property values in cities
like Albuquerque will increase, the
investment will prove more valuable
with every year. Santa Fe and other
cities which lack attractive homes for
health-seekers to a great degree should
have men of that kind who will put up
cottages for that purpose. 1t would be
a paying investment, and at the same
time a benefit to those towns.
