ties are death traps which demand more
victims in proportion to population
than does the avera"e battlefield with
it's carnage. And yet the trend OF pop
ulation is city ward; it is the ambition
of every small town to be a large city
some day and the hope of almost every
farmers boy to live in the metropolis
when he is older. OF course, there is
also indication of a tide setting in to-
ward the country. Trolley cars and ell
evated roads have contributed to the
growth of expansive suburbs which link
the city to the country and nearly ev-
cry family of wealth has it's country
home. There are also Il few men, tired
of city life, who turn toward the u
try to make a livelihood and who get
nearer to nature again by engaging in
agriculture or horticulture. Then there
are the healthseekers whose health city
life has shattered and who turn to
green fields and the pure air of the
country, far away from the smoke and
turmoil of the cities. Yet, city life has
its charms which can and should be
brought within the reach of every far
mer's boy and girl by low railroad fares
and an occasional holiday in order to
reconcile them to the life on the farm,
which appears most monotonous to
young people.

FROM DURANGO TO ALBUQUERQUE
The Scheme Has Not Been Abandoned and
Will Be Pushed Through.
Albuquerque Journal-D emocrat.)

albuquerque Journal emocrat.)
The building of the much-talked of
railroad between Durango, Colo, and
Albuquerque, N. M, will be of at least
as much importance to the people of
the territorial metropolis as to the res
idents of any other part of the globe.
Hence Albuquerqueans will be glad to
hear that the scheme, very far from
being abandoned, is almost certain to
be carried into effect the coming year.
Durango citizens are doing the most of
the pushing in the matter and have
succeeded in interesting a number OF
New York capitalists, who have great
faith in the future of his part of the
west. The project has SO ar advanced
that surveyors will be put into the field
at once. A prominent Durango attor-
ney is spending his days in the eastern
cities and will, it is thought, have no
difficulty in securing all the financial
support needed. While the railroad ir-
ON has been in the fire for some time
past, there was no disposition to pull it
out until after Mckinley had been cleo
ted. but now it is not unreasonable to
| suppose the MISUNDERSTANDING road
| will be in course of construction before
another half year passes.

Judging Newspapers.

If the readers of a newspaper We're to
stop long enough to analyze what they
read, the yellow journals could not
long survive the test. 1t is not always
the paper with the most pages and the
most pictures that is most worthy to be
read or most deserving of public sup
port. 1t is the newspaper that most
abundant material which it has to
choose from and guards most carefully
its expressions of opinions, being in
clined to conservatism rather than to
radical expressions and to truth and
justice to all rather than to prejudice in
behalf of one side, that is the true type
of what a newspaper should be. I'm
fortunately. the average newspaper
reader still judges by the size of the
bundle of paper he gets for a nickle
and the number of hideous illustrations
it contains, and therefore even the best
papers often give in to the demand of
unthinking readers who thirst for sem
sationalism and prejudice. But after
all. the paper which least submits to
this tendency, is the one which has the
most influence and has the greatest
power in holding public opinion.
Pettigrew being ou in the cold, will
start a new party. 1t is bound to be a
petty" and ''grewsome' affair, if Mr..
Pettigrew's efforts in dragging the
Democratic party down to the lowest
mire is any indication of what the new
party will be like.

RECLAIMING ALKALI LAND.
A Plan of Sub Drainage Suggested by 8
Washington Farmer.
Denver Republican,

(DenNef HepuDllCdIl.)
The remoya of alkali from irrigated
land, brought there by impregnated
water from artesian wells, has long
been one of the problems of farming in
the west. r. P. Tjossem, a farmer liv-
ing in the state of Washington, is said
to have a plan which has worked adj
mirably and which has been called to
the attention of government agricul-
tural experts.
The method is a system of subdrain-
age, for the speedy and economic intro
duction of which he has invented a
machine. What the system will do has
| been shown in a field of alfalfa and
clover now growing IN land that two
years ago was a bed of alkali upon
| which salt grass would scarcely grow
About fifty acres have been treated
and fifteen acres have been seeded. This
| year 6 large haystacks adorn the tract
The first cutting of mixed clover an6
alfalfa yielded three tons to the acre;
the second is yielding two tons, and il
is said a finer quality of hay is not tc
be found in the state.
The drainage tiles are laid four feet
below the surface by an implement re-
sembling a great pillow, which is bragg
ed by a wire cable, working around i;
winch, operated by two horses. Thu
investigation and government report on
this plan will be awaited with interes
by farmers throughout the entire arit
region.

The Old and New County Boards.

County Commissioners C. W. Dudrow
thanks of the people of the City of Sam
ta Fe and this county for honest, eff
cient and manly discharge of the inn
purtant duties of the office which they
have filled for the past four years. 1t
is a matter of regret that they were
not retained in office. They are men
who acted as they deemed right and
proper in county affairs and who could
not be controlled by bosses or by men
who wanted to put up jobs through the
county board, and always protected the
interests of the people as they saw and
understood them. On December 81, they
will step out of office with excellent
regulations as good and honest citizens
and competent officials and with the
consciousness of duty well performed.
AS far as the new county board is
concerned the New Mexican believes
that w. H. Kennedy, j. A.. Lujan and
Arthur Seligman will also do we'll in the
offices to which they have been elected.
If they will perform the duties of COM
m~issioners as they ought to be per-
formed, and if they carefully carry out
the letter and spirit of the laws gov
erning county commissioners, they will
certainly receive due credit from the
people and from this paper. There is
no good reason why this should not be
the case nor why the new board that
takes office January /, 1901. should not
prove a good and efficient set of officers
who will stand by the interests of the
tax payers as against bosses, county
boodlers and men with jobs, especially
in refunding county bonds and similar
| matters,

The Germans in China.

The Germans are not in China out OF
any altruistic motives. 1t is not merely
for the fun of the thing that they sent
an expensive expedition to the Celestial
empire. They are there for business,
and as a soldiers business is to fight,
they are creating a few diversions of
their own in order to keep busy. One
punitive expedition after the other is
sent out from Pekin to attack Chinese
villages and to destroy them. The Chi
nese are compelled to resist or to sub
nit, in both cases the result being the
same, the looting of the village and the
decapitation or shooting of several
mandarins. If Germany doesn't stir
up a casus belli in that manner it is
simply because the Chinese empire is
so impotent that it willingly submits to
any sort of treatment and will grant
any kind of terms to the allies now in
possession of Pekin and surrounding
country.

The Vote Of the Large Cities.

The three largest towns of New Mex
leo, Albuquerque, Las Vegas and Santa
Fe went Republican in the election last
Tuesday. This shows that if the prop
er nominations are made for municipal
offices next spring those cities need not
be d%isgraced again by Democratic AID
ministrations. OF the larger cities of
the country only the following went
Democratic: New York, Boston, Den
Yer, Minneapolis, New Orleans, and
New Haven, while the following gave
maiorities to President Mckinley: Chi
cago. Philadelphia, st. Louis, Balti-
more, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Buffalo,
| San Francisco, Milwaukee, Louisville,
Pittsburg, Kansas City, Rochester, Col
umbus, Toledo, st. Paul, Omaha, and
Providence. This destroys another fall
lacy; that the large cities are Demo-
cratic, for they are not. New York is
still the Democratic banner city, hav-
ing given Bryan 1000 majority. but
hat does not compare with the ma
jority of 1876, 900 for Mckinley in Phila-
delphia. Even Kansas City, where the
Bryanite platform was patched togeth-
er, and Bryan was nominated, repudia-
ted the work of that convention. Upon
analysing the vote of the large cities
it is found that it is in the districts
where the more intelligent working
man, the well-to-do and the cultured
live, that President Mckinley received
his largest majorities, while it was in
the slums and in the foreign districts
that Bryan received his heaviest vote
The increase of the navy and com
mercial expansion go hand in hand. II
was the rebuilding of the navy which
was accompanied by the reopening OF
foreign markets to American products
AS the navy grew so did the nations
commerce and the revival of shipbuild-
ing is directly traceable to that cause
Fortunately, the opposition to a large
and strong navy is very small among
the people of America, and congress
will not be censured if it continues tC
make ample provision for the further
up-building and perfection of the Am
erican navy.

The Dangers Of the City.

It is in the large cities that the aver
age man is not only loneliest but also
exposed to the most dangers. Although
the police systems of the large towns
are perfectly organized, yet the most
murders, robberies and other crimes
are committed in large cities; although
sanitation and quarantine are the stric-
test in populous cities, yet disease de-
mands more victims per thousand in
Chicago, st. Louis, and New Orleans
than it does in the country districts; all
though the forces for fighting fire are
splendidly organized in New York, Phil
a%delphia, Montreal, San Francisco, yet
1t is in those cities where the most fires
occur and more people are burned to
death in a decade than in a century in
the surrounding country. The large CT

NATIONAL IRRIGATION CONGRESS.
It Will Meet at Chicago Next Week fol
Four DAYS.

The national irrigation congress
which will meet at Chicago, Ills, Nov.
q, 90, 90 and "a, is creating wide inter-
est and promises to be an unusual sue
cess. The national irrigation movement
has become a broad popular movement
and eastern commercial interests have
readily taken hold of the idea of re-
claiming and populating the arid west
and thus creating a great home market
fer their goods.
The best authorities on irrigation and
forestry have been secured to speak
and give illustrated lectures. and men
of national fame and renown as orators
and statesmen, will address the con-
gress at the great Auditorium theater
on subjects of national interest to the
west.
Under the constitution of the con-
gress the mayor of each city of $4,000
or less population is entitled to appoint
two delegates, while cities of greater
population are entitled to four dele.
gates. Each agricultural college, or
ganized irrigation, agricultural and
horticultural association, each society
of engineers. irrigation company and
each board of trade and chamber OF
commerce, is also entitled to two dele
gates.

President Mckinley has given a blow
to the cabinet makers and the newspa-
pers who are reconstructing his official
family for him, by asking all the men,
with him during the next four years.
The president is liberal and humble
enough to credit his cabinet and his ad-
visers with part of the success of his
administration, and generous and
grateful enough to ask those men who
advised him, to stay with him another
four years. Truly, as a man as we'll as
a president. William Mckinley is great.

Morocco, one of the Barbary states
on the northwestern coast of Africa,
defies the United States to collect dam
ages it owes for the brutal murder of
an American citizen. The United
States has had dealings with n of
the Rarbary states before and taught
it a lesson which it has not yet for
gotten. Morocco is difficult to get at,
however, and Spain exercises a semi
p~rotectorate over it. That Morocco
must pay the indemnity finally, ad-
mits of no doubt, but it will take some
trouble to collect it and to administer
a lesson which will be remembered by
the MOroccans.

New Workers may not like an advance
of one cent or two cents q pound on
their meat or butter, yet it is the differ

which means prosperity or lard times
to the farmer, and as the husbandmer
are in the majority, it is merely the
greatest good to the greatest number
But aside of this, the prosperity of the
farmer brings prosperity to the city

reason, Ais we'll that ends well.
