SELF GOVERNMENT FOR NEW MEXICO.
II Is Only Prejudice That Is Keeping the Territories
from'the Benefit Of Statehood

The Denver Republican speaks as
follows of the chances of securing
statehood for New Mexico:
Delegate Rodey of New Mexico, is
winning much credit by his earnest and
energetic work in behalf of the bill for
the admission of New Mexico. Arizona
and Oklahoma as states. He has Sc
cured favorable report from the COM
mittee on territories, but there seer,s
ito be some disposition to prevent con-
sideration of the measure in the house
itself.
HE does not let the matter sleep,
however, and he and other friends of
the bill are determined to force consid-
eraition in the course of the next few
weeks in order to pass it through the
house, if possible, and send it to the
senate while there may still be time to
pass it att this session
"Mr Rodey is confident that there Is
clear majority for the bill in the
house, and he thinks there is good
chance for it's passage by the senate
In any case the measure is too i'm
portant to permit 1t to be sidetracked
because of the opposition which some
members may desire to make to it, If
it passes the house. the odium OF its
defeat will fall upon the senate If 1T Is
defeated in either branch of congress.
There Is little doubt that President
ROOSEVELT would sign it if it should be
presented to him.
"The three territories for which
statehood is provided in this bill are so
clearly entitled to it that the opposl-
ton has nothing but prejudice and self
ish hostility to the west upon which to
stand. A prejudice exists in some parts
of the east against any proposition to
admit a new state from the far west,
and it seems to be due almost entirely
to fear of increased western influence
in congress. 1t is selfish position to
take, for it sacrifices the true interests
of the proposed states in local matters
in order to guard the east against i'm
aginary evils In connection with ma
tional questions
"It is far more important to the peo-
ple of proposed state to be given the
right to make their own laws and
maintain their own government in all
local respects than it is to secure rep
resentation in congress, and yet 1T is
the latter which looms up as the more
important consideration before the
eyes of those eastern people who oppose
the admission of new members of the
union.
Much of this opposition would dis
appear If the people who are responsf-
BILE for 1t would stop to consider how
the inhabitants Of territories are de-
prived of the right Of self-government
which lies at the foundation Of Amerl-
can institutions. The territories now
asking admission have each more pop
ulation than some Of the states Of the
central west had when enabling acts
were passed in their behalf. This ought
to be borne in mind when the question
of local self-government Is considered"

FINE VENETIAN LACES.
the Methods of Primitive
Needle Workers..

The stamp of perfected elegance
which all Venice lace bears is the re-
suit of its having been evolved in 4
period and environment of luxury and
constantly widening art development,
says the Chautauquan. Primitive
needlewomen display no art ingenuity
in getting beyond the simpler twisted
effects in thread work. The product
of native Indians, of Syrians, of South
Americans, and even of the Mexicans,
IS all fat. Twisted threads forming
meshes similar to those seen in veil
ings and with sstar" ground, are the
sole resource of these workers, to
whom even the open buttonhole stitch
as an establishment is unknown.
Though often most complex in de-
sign, the early laces of Italy and Spain,
were equally fiat until the workers
began to initiate with the needle the
raised and knotted effects of the hard
reticella or bone laces of Greece. Once
the method of applying the buttonhole
stitch became known among them,
however, the experimenters among the
more enlightened workers of those
countries, and later of France and
England, were untiring in testing the
possibilities. Soon this stitch became
the basis of all Venetian laces. It was
used for the making Of every portion
of the pattern, including the plain and
ornamental brides that connected the
closely placed, but irregular, motifs;
for the cordonnets or raised borders
and edges, and even for the filling-in
stitches

INDIAN GOLD HOARDERS.
Milliards Upon Milliards of Francs
Supposed to BE Lying Idle In
Hiding Places.

OF the outpouring of gold which
during four centuries has been scat
tered all over the world, an immense
portion remains idle in India, where
it has been imbedded. In India the
gold returns to the earth and re-
mains there more completely hidden
than it was in it's original state. The
amount of gold brought into India
during the past 60 years, that is to
say, from 1887 to 1898, is greater by
three milliards nine hundred and for
ty-three millions of francs than the
amount exported. The soil of India
absorbs the floods of gold just as tho
sand of the deserts swallows the over
flow of the great rivers. When it is
remembered that this work of abb
sorption has been going on with little
interruption for ten centuries and
still continues, it is easy to form an
idea of the immense treasures that
are hidden in that country. All this
gold remains sterile, and, consequent-
ly,, is lost. It is estimated that mil
lizards upon milliards of francs in gold
lie idle in the hiding places of India,
and it is known that this colossal
treasure is in coin that dates back
several centuries. -

Punch that Punched Out the Win
doWs.-Two young men in Helsing-

Day, and early in the morning the
proper ingredients were placed on
hot stove. The alcohol was soon
raised to the boiling point, and the
fumes were ignited by coming in con-
tact with flame. \ violent explosion
was the result. The window lights
were blown out on the street and
the curtains were blown up before the
punch brewers recovered from the eff
fects of their establishment. No one
was injured; but the punch passed
into painless space, and the yawning
window openings gave the young men
a peck of trouble because no glaZier
could be induced to ply his trade on
