EOREFATHERS HONEST.
Tn Most Cases They Bought TEeir Lands
 from the Indians.

Sometimes historians tell It's that Il was only Dutehmen and not Eli glish- men who bought the red mans land instead ot stealing it. Such state ments have been made in New York
 but if Ne pass on to Philadelphia We hear that it Was only QuakeIs who were thus scrupuloas, and when We arrive in Baltimore We learn that it was only Roman Catholics. In point of fact. it was the inyariab1e custom of European settlers on this Atlantic coast t9 purchase the lands on which they settled and the transaction WIS usually recorded in deed to which the Sagamores affixed their marks. Nor WAS the affair such a moc&erv as it may at first thought seem to us. says writer in the Atlantic Monthly The red man got what he sorely GOV ctcd. steel hatchetS and grindstones glass beads and rum. perhaps muskets and ammunition while he was apt to reserve sundry rights of catching game and fish. A struggle was in- eyitable when the white mans agricul- ture encroached upon and exhausted the Indians hunting ground; blt other circumstances usually brought it on long before that point was reached. The age of iron superseded the stone age in America by the same law ot progress that from time immemoriaf has been bearing humanity onward from brutal savagery to higher and more perfect life. In the course of it our forefathers certainly busted and dispossessed the red men, but they did not do it in a spirit of robbery.

It is supposed that the thieves are in hiding hereabouts, and if that is the case, they will probably be apprehended.

SEVERAL of the republican papers of the territory are greatly worried lest the elevation of Teddy Roosevelt to the presidency means reign of Rough Riders for Arizona. So far as the peo- pie generally are concerned it makes but little difference who draws the salary so long as the offices are proper ly conducted. The Rough Riders are undoubtedly entitled to recognition, and as Teddy never was known to go back on friend, they will no doubt divide up the plums to suit themselves. In the mean time there will be very interesting row in the republican family.

SIR THOMAS LIPTON took his second defeat like the royal sport which he is. The cup was won by the yacht Ameri- ca in 1851, in a race around the Isle of Weight. At that time any vessel was allowed to enter the contest, and many were striving for the cup. While the contest was on a severe storm came up which lasted until the following day. The America was the first boat in. and in fact distanced all competitors. The good Queen Victoria witnessed the race aud was asked what boat was sec oned, and replied that there was no second, which was true, as no other boat made its appearance until several hours later. Since that time there have been eleven contests for the cup. but the cup is still ours, and is likely 10 remain with us for many years to come, in fact it looks like it is ours for keeps" Sir Thomas made many friends on both sides of the water by his manly conduct while contesting for the trophy.

THE SAN JOSE.

another of the most promising mines Of the district, was also located by J. F. Risque in 1881. In 1882 the Balti. more company, under the management Of John R. Magruder. erected small smelter on the property, which was operated for two years, but at that time nothing less than from 20 to 9 per cent ore could be worked at a profit, and the mine was shut down and the shelter moved away. About five years ago work was resumed. and con- siderable ore was shipped, running from 12 to 30 per cent copper. and from 6 to 20 ounces in silver. There is now about 20O0 tons of old ore on the dumps which will average about i per cent copper. which at the present time is considered fine milling ore. The San Jose will yet be one of the big pro- ducers of the camp.

SANTA RITA, HANOVER, FIERRO.
A Lively Mining Section of Grant
 County, New Mexico

Santa Rita, Hanover and E'ierro. all practically embraced in one district, have long been known as the richest and most extensive section of New Mexico, but owing to the fact that the great wealth Of the district was con- fined to its copper and iron deposits, but little in the way of development was accomplished until the past two years. when the rise in the price Of copper justified the resumption of work on an extensive scale. At the present time there is more real, legiti- mate mining being done in the Santa Rita mountains than iu any other por- tion of New Mexico, and it may truth fully be said that the work of devel- opment has just commenced. Several new companies backed with ample means are opening up the properties as rapidly as possible.
 The district combines about all the advantages for cheap mining, having an abundance Of good water, plenty Of timber, a branch line of the Santa Fe railroad penetrating all portions of the district, affording cheap freight rates to the smelter at Silver City, and good wagon roads leading to the various mines. The ore bodies occur in inn mense deposits in formation very similar to the Clifton district, the red porphyry hills and the large iron blow outs closely resembling the Metcalf and Shannon mines, and the country between Metcalf and the San Fran cisco river. The district is a large basin surrounded by walls of granite and lime. The mines are opened by shafts, the country being so uniformly level that depth cannot be obtained by tunnels.

The Cry Of the Stomach.

At least one of the most sickening
fads these days is the craze for what are
known as 'shealth foods" The country
is flooded with advertisements of every
conceivable variety of this sort of rot by
which some people are made to believe
that their stomachs can no longer enter
tain good bread and meat and vegetables,
but really need some sort of slippery,
nauseous mucilage in the way of patent
"breakfast food AS a result, dozens
of different brands of bruised and tor
tured oats flood the market and kalso-
mine the insideS of once healthy people.
Pounded oats and hashed wheat and
maltreated cereals of various kinds, and
under endless DISCUSSES, are worked of
under false pretences on suffering human.
ity, victims of grape nuts and lactated
food are legion and medicated confec,
tionery and slime usurp the place of nat.
ural and wholesome food. Well may the
hungry and despairing soul-or stom.
ach-cry out for something "such as
mother used to make. "-Morrisville Mes.

Liquor.SelIing and Murder.

, One of the stock arguments against
the prohibitory law of Vermont is that
sit doesn't prohibit This is admitted
even by the friends of the law, but the
universal rejoinder runs something like
this: ''What of it? Neither do the laws
against murder and stealing and all kinds
of crime prohibit or prevent the crimes. =
Merely as a suggestion along this line
the Tribune would like to enquire why
it would not be perfectly proper to con.
tinue the analogy between the selling of
intoxicants and the crimes of robbery
and murder, and establish in each town
special agent who should be permitted
by law to do the stealing, numbering, and
commit the crimes for that community.
provided the persons who wanted the
crime committed would sign certificate
to the effect that the theft was necessary
or the murder justifiable?
If stealing and liquor selling are in the
same class, a town thief would be emf
nently fitting. If the selling of intoxi-
eating liquor is crime like murder, why
not have town murder agent?
The result is nothing but the argument
from analogy carried to its legitimate
end.-Ludlow Tribune.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
A Vermont Author.

Editor Green of the Rutland Herald,
in addition to his arduous newspaper
duties, is writing the biography of Ed
ward Bellamy and hopes to issue the
book the first of the year. The many
friends of the author of Looking Back
ward are much pleased over the selec-
ton of the biographer and the book will
be awaited with great interest. When Mr.
Green was on the editorial staff of the
Springfield Republican he formed a last
ing friendship for the great economist
and when Mr.. Bellamy started his paper
in Boston it was fitting that he should
have Mr.. Green for his right hand man.

TO be cut off this year. The entire prod-
net has been sold to the International
Paper company, one of the combinations
that has been boosting the price of paper
in the last two or three years. Vermont
is to be skinned to help IN the work of

note that New Hampshire law firm at

and that a foreign combination will fat
ten on the carcass whose bleaching bones
will add to the pictureSqueneSS of the

The land is described as a plateau,
some 100 feet above the valley. 1t is
heavily timbered, several ponds nestle in
it's receSses, and from them numerous
streams flow to the Connecticut on the
east or the Hudson on the west These
waters abound in trout and small game

inc to be told that "thoSe who are in
terested in the company are discussing
the ACCESSIBILITY of turning the entire
tract into a park, and that Its natu raj
advantages would make the tract most
beautiful as well as CONVENIENT preserve

this comforting statement needs no
calculation. Fish in streams and ponds
