The Oldest American Town.
Santa Ph., New Mexico, is the
oldest American town. Next July
will be celebrated the o'J3il anni
verMiry of the founding of that
ancient pueblo. Don Hidalgo
Cabeca de Vaca after serving with
Narvaez in Pascua de Florida and
failing to find the fabled fountain
of youth, went westward, and,
after many thrilling adventures,
was the first European to set foot
in the present territory of New
Mexico. This was in 1531. Ten
years later an expedition under
Coronado, explored the country
in search of treasure, and nine
years afterward the town of Santa
Fe was founded. This was only
twenty-nine years after the con
quest of Mexico by Cortez. James
town, Virginia, formerly had the
honor of being the oldest town in
the United States. Alter Florida
was annexed, St. Augustine had
that distinction, but since the ac
quipjtion ol New 'Mexico, St.
Augustine has given place to the
city of Santa" Fc in that territory.
The citizens of New Mexico
have been arrauging for some
time for the proper celebration of
this anniversary, bnt did not make
public their plans until the neces
sary funds had been secured.
These arrangements have now
been completed. The two chief
features of the exhibition will be
the display of the territory's his
torical treasures, and of its material
resources. New Mexico is rich in
both, especially the former. It
contains tribes of Pueblo Indians,
living in the same manner as they
existed when Columbus discovered
America. In recent numbers of
the Century Frank Gushing has
given some intensely interesting
descriptions of the Zunis, of which
tribe he i& a in ember by initiation.
In addition is the Taos Pueblo,
standing as it did four centuries
ago. New Mexico also possesses
antiquities of the stone age, and
also of the Spanish conquest. De
scendants of the ancient Spanish
families yet reside there, and ttiey
will lend many relics. Relics of
the old American trappers and
scouts will also be on exhibition.
A special building will be dedi
cated to the antiquities. Another
building will contain an exposition
'of the mineral and agricultural
nealth of the teiritory. New
Mexico's mineral exhibit was the
most creditable one at the lecent
Denver exposition. The occasion
will be timcl attractive, and the
contract between the primitive as
pect of an ancient people and the
roahcaditivneN of the Anglo
Saxon nineteenth-century civiliza
tion CMinot fail to be interesting:.
Tin: Mulidi. or FnUe Prophet of
tho Soudan who has captured Cai
r , and i making it otherwise url
pleasaul for the Khedive, is de
scribed as one Mohamed Ahmed,
n Donolidit. lie is illiterate, but
has studied religion, has been or
dained a sheik, nnd has gained a
reputation for sanctity by playing
the hsrmil. He has increased his
influence b' marrying numerous
wives among tho wealthy families,
keeping within the prescribed
number of four by a resort, when
necessary, to divorce. In Ma
1S81. he openly proclaimed him
xelf to be the prophet foretold by
Mohammed, preaching univeal
equality of law and religion, with
community of goods to all be
lievers, and death to all who re
jected him. Like most prophets,
he was denounced by his own
townsmen, who proclaimed him
umd. In appearance be is tall
and slim, and wears a black beard.
He reads and writes with difficulty,
is head of a local order of der
vishes, and has shown much tact
in uniting the discordant tribes.
The number of tribesmen who fol
low mm is estimated at about
238,000 souls.
Ax Evansville couple has been
divorced and remarried since Jan.
st.
An Unfortunate Country.
henry George nas neen ice
turing in New York before the
Nitintnrknlli C!ntnrv- oliiK nn the
Irish question. Among other!
things he said that Ireland is a,
.-rnrA nnnnlrr nut II t-illr inrl if t '
uiuu iruii f iiuvuiiuijj u. w
was in the path of our western
emigration there would be a rush
for it. Its people don't differ
much from others and have manv
good traits. Even in the western
districts, where the destitution is
terrible, there is not in the whole 1
world a more virtuous or moral'
people. Thev are the most relig-1
ious people in the civilized world.
Their priests were for a long time
persecuted with their people and
have never lost their mutual sym
pathy. His religion is to an Irish
man synonymous with his country.
"Ireland is not a poor or over-populated
country. Any one who
travels through it will be amazed
to find how different it is in t'nis
respect from what books have led '
him to believe. Only 15 per
cent, of the soil is cultivated, the
rest being devoted to grazing."
The trouble with Ireland is," he
continued, "that the earnings of
its laborers are drawn away by a
class who add nothing to its
wealth. The Lord of Loughcra's
income from his estate is some
thing like 200,000 annually,
which he spends in London or
Paris. Everything was made an
excuse to raise the rent, and there
are instances where, when a family
had meat to eat, a child was
stationed to give the alarm if the
agent appeared lest he should
raise the rent in consequence.
This is why the Irish habitations
never have any attempt at adorn
ment. Their inhabitants do not
dare to appear in any way other
than poor. The distress in Ireland
is caused because all that the
people earn above their bare living
iu good times is extorted from
them, and eo when bad times
come they have no reserve. There
has never been any real scarcity
of food in Ireland. Even in the
great famine years she was really
a food exporting country. The
Irish raise pigs, poultry and cattle,
but they don't eat, but export
them. The system which makes
the laud on which people live the
property of some one else is the
great cause underlying all Irish
ajntation."
The Washington Post stands
ready to discard tho time-honored
doctrine of states' rights, when
that interferes with its ideas rela
tive to judicial proportion. It
thinks that "a legislative body in
which Nevada can vote down New
York, and Delaware can neutral
ize Pennsylvania is not the sott of
body which, under our theory and
plan of government, should as
sume original jurisdiction in the
matter of taxation.1'
A l'ORTiON" of the "United Stales
navy has been lost. The United
States gunboat Ashuelot has Mink
on the China coast. She was a
sidewheelcr, built twenty years
ago to run on I lie Mississippi
river, and is a national loss.
Soap and starch having been
provided with good places on the
protected list, the Washington
Post thinks it is only necessary to
put a tax on water in order to
crush the washing industry out of
existence.
Rhode Island is excited. The
running of a new boundary line
between that diminutive state and
Massachusetts results in cutting
off forty-five acres from Little
Rhody. It can illy afford the
loss.
