HAVING grown weary of swearing tC

Nellie Bly,, to travel round the globe in

he displays his western long-headedness
by sending her west, whereas the other

THE settlement OF a Mennonite colony from
Kansas in New Mexico may be the beginning OF
a movement that may rsult in great good to
the territory The MennOnites are an indus
trious, aw abiding class, and they make good
citizens New Mexico should encourage imml
grafton OF this sort.-Denyer Republican.
Precisely, and New Mexico is doing so.
The colony of 200 Mennonites, which has
selected the western slope of the Glorieta
mountains FORTS settlement, will no doubt
do so well that every member thereof will
prove walking advertisement for the
fertile valleys, and other colonies of these
hardy farmers will come to people Other
localities. Several families of this first
settlement are already on the ground, anC
their huge plows are even now turning
the virgin soil, rich loan, of reddiSl
color, declared by experts to be i'll every
respect as good as California's celebrated
red lands.

"IN a northwestern direction until Ros

manner in which the Fort Worth Gazette
dismisses the New Mexico division 81
the proposed new road to the northW est
from the Worth city. OF course there'l
be no trouble about it, but that's very
long stretch of country. The Gazette
editor seems to forget that when it comes
to distances New Mexico is no small fry
in fact she might justly claim to be a hall
sister OF Texas in this respect. When
the new Fort Worth road strikes the Pc
cos valley it will head straight for the
Cerrillos coal and mineral fields, anC
thence it will fall away toward the wes
and south again toward San Pedro, anC
reach its destination via the famous Tie
ras canon. This is the route the road i:
projected to build over.

SOME very kind hearted, but evidently
veIy ignorant people, in Philadelphia
have started a movement to get the Unit
ed States government to intercede with the
car of all the Russias in the treatment
of prisoners in Siberia. We do not think
that the government will accede to this
request. 1t has plenty to do for the pres,
ent at home. Besides, there is very little
probability of the cars paying any at.
tention to outside requests in such mat
tiers. He very likely thinks he knows
his own business best. The Romanofs
have always thought so.

SIMPLY STATED,

Tie silver men come pretty near know
ing what they want, and they have their
minds made up us to how they are going
to get it; but, on the other hand, there
are hundreds of good people who couId
and would say a good word and lend their
influence to swell the tide OF popular de-
mand now being so bravely pushed by
the people of the west. The most sue
cinct statement of the situation appears in
the Denver Republican of the 18th in
slant. OF our present demand at the
hands of the government it tells the
whole story in few words us follows:
The coinage of silver dollars lastweek amount
ed to 5000 This is at the rate OF almost lO0O,-
600 Il month, but it does not appear that more
than 81 OoO, 100 worth OF silver bullion has been
purchased in any month by the director OF inc
mint. The surplus coinage during last month
and the first two weeks OF November all came
from silver bullion in possession OF the govern
mcut, hence it could have no material effect
upon the market price OF silver. What is need
ed is that the director OF the mint St. all be IN
structcd by the secretary OF the treasury 10 pul-
chase 900 worth OF silver bullion Tor com
age every month If that should be Gone
practically all the silver produced in this rou"-
try would be purchased for our own coinage
and the balance, which we now shipto England
would be cut oil from the London market me
natural effect of this woulf be to cause the price
OF silver to advance, and there is good reason to
believe that the bullion value OF silver would
soon equal its coinage value, not only in this
country, but all over the world The expert
ment is worth trying, and ii Secretary Window
will not act i'll the matter, we hope that congress
will take steps Immediately after the beginning
of its session in December to compel the treasury
department to purchase $4,000 coo worth ofsilye1
| for coinage monthly

AS USUAL, with the approach OF con-

the express messenger whose car was robbed

"When the train stopped at the water tank
near that station gang Of men Of not less
than five boarded the train Two of them
took possession OF the engine, while another
cut the mail, baggage and express cars OF
from the remainder OF the train. A shot
alarmed johnson, who was secreting valu-
able packages BY the time the highway
men were ready 70 enter his car he had all
but 81 900 stored away in various parts Of
the car. At the point Of a pistol johnson
opened the company's safe, and the robbers
secured the 81 ,00O found there. Then they
opened his train box, and, seeing a small
amount of money, asked whose il was.
That's part Of my salary, replied Johnson.
The robbers left it, telling him they were
not robbing train men johnson told them
that was all the money and they left the
car.
Il was reported at first that the mail car
had been robbed and the passengers relieved
Of their money and valuables, but when the
