CAN'T GET AWAY FROM IT.

Silver is still forging ahead. The time
is ripe for an International bi-metalic con-
ference with view to some universal
agreement whereby the resumption OF
silver coinage may be attained. There is
no getting away from the fact, however
much the Wall street politicians may de-
sire it. Since the last congress the ad-
ministration has been quietly at work to
bring about such conference. 1t has
encouraged men OF unquestioned standing
in the financial standing of this country
and Europe to study the subject and to go
abroad, in unofficial capacity, however,
to test the public pulse of Eng land. France,
Germany, Russia and other governments,
and the unofficial reports that have been
received from time to time have evidently
been encouraging. France, and it is be-
Iieved, Germany are in line with the
United States government on this propo-
sition, Russia too, and now comes the
gratifying intimation from England that
the chancellor of the exchequer, Mr..
Goschen, has made clean breast OF it
and openly avowed in favor of the pro-
posed international conference. There is
evidently good grounds for this latter
statement as witness the spurt in silver
certificates on Wall street few days ago.
Those wiley fnanciers don't do business
at an increase of IL per cent without
knowing just where they stand. Alto
gether the outlook is very favorable for
silver coinage, and it is bound to come.
As Secretary Foster significantly re-
marked, "gold alone is too narrow basis
upon which to build the commercial
structure of the world.
With silver occupying it's proper place
as money and the obnoxious alien act so
amended as to permit foreign monies to
be invested in our mines, New Mexico will
show great and rapid strides of prosperity
ere another year is half gone.

THERE is famine among the laborlng
people of Durango, Mexico. The reports
sound, on small scale, very much ike
those from Russia. Troops are holding
the desperate sufferers under restraint.
Russia is far off, but Durango is within
days ride by rail of American wheat
trains. Ii the crops have failed there
Mexican and American efforts should be
able to supply the lack. We note this fact
because the present week is likely to bring
very important news from the City OF
Mexico touching it. If the Mexican duty
on grain and live stock is withdrawn, as
now seems probable, there will be fine
opening for more business in the south

Statehood Discussion.

"With all our prosperity, however"
said Mr.. Hazledine, 81 do not think any
attempt will be made to get New Mexico
admitted into the union this winter. 1t
has been sort of tacitly agreed that the
four electoral votes of New Mexico are too
uncertain to be introduced into the next
presidential electoral contest; 80 though
most of us have always been anxious, and
worked for admission, We will take a little
rest till the question Of the next president
is settled. "--Extract from an interview
with Hon. W. G. Hazledine in the San
Francisco Examiner.

other fellows, who can't, worry over feed
ing them and getting them to market.
We believe if this policy is pursued the
stockmen of New Mexico will come out in
the end far ahead.
At any rate it is policy that is sufii-
GENTLY alluring to be worthy of fair trial,
and the loss possible in making such trial
can not be any greater than under the
present system of holding till the stock is
wears old and taking chances on feeding
and getting them to market yourselves.

THE American people are becoming
great travellers. In this they show the
inbred characteritics of their Anglo Sax
on forefathers, for the Engishmen are
encountered everywhere, but the Amerl-
can soon will be. There were lOO,ooO
American visitors in Europe during the
mast summer. This fact may also serve
as showing the scenic trans
continental lines what they miss
by not granting reasonable
tourist rates to Rocky mountain ana
other tourist points. The tourist travel

A Fact Not a Theory.

If the reader wants to settle in wide
awake community all he has to do is to
look at the local newspapers. A wide
awake, well-supported home newspaper is
always associated with good schools,
churches, active business, and intelligent
people. 1t never fails. No business man
or pioneer in any community makes any
better investment than in the dollars he
gives to the support of good home news

THERE is liable to be serious
trouble at Mile Laos lake one of
these days. The Indians threaten
to kill the first white man that at
tempts to cut any hay in the So
called Mile Laos reservation. The
government has declared the reser-
yation open to settlement. Hun
dreds of settlers have gone in there
and taken claims and opened up
farms, Many of these settlers
have already received patents from
the government. Three new town
ships, with a full quota Of township
officers, have been organized.
There are over 800 bona .7fde set
tiers located in the reservation.
The settlers will cut the hay on
their claims and if the Indians at
tempt to put their threats into
execution there will be bloody
work up there, and after many
valuable lives have been sacrificed
the question of removing the In
dams will be settled for all time.

The mutually protective customs league
into which Germany, Italy, Switzerland
and Austro-Hungary have entered is not
aimed at mutual self protection so much
as at helping themselves and their own
manufactures by mutually injuring other
nations, notably the United States.
Whether they can keep it up remains to
be seen. 1t will probably share the fate
of so many Of the trusts that are started
to control prices and rule the world in
certain articles, and fall through. It is
interesting to note, however, the tend
ency to band together that is exhibited
in our time. From individuals the i'm
pulse has extended to nations under the
name of reciprocity" In the present
instance, even if all the European coun-
tries should unite in customs league,
the republics of America can do the
same, and stand together and show Eu-
rope that America, too, can do her part
in the RECIPROCITY" line.

In ST. Louis a mortgage for $50, 600, 900
has been filed by the ST. Louis and San
Francisco Railroad company. The
mortgage is drawn in favor Of New
York company and has 100 years to run,
with interest at per cent. This stu
pendous mortgage is no more in this day
Of great enterprises than the same num-
Der of thousands would have been seven
ty-fve years ago. When that mortgage
comes due hardly anybody will be living
that was in the world when the docu-
ment was recorded. Most of the popu-
lation Of the globe will have been
changed three times over, twice in any
case, even if life lengthens out as it is
expected to do in the next century.
There will certainly be not many of the
present European governments and dy-
nasties in existence then. There may
not even be any United States.

Progress in Electricity.

Electricity is often spoken of as exist
ing under two forms, dynamic and static.
The dynamic is that which flows; the
static is that which "exists without the
power of travelling" as some writer has
expressed it. Professor Nikola Tesla has
made remarkable advance in utilizing
this static electricity. If his discoveries
can be depended on a revolution may
shortly be wrought in the whole field of
electric industries.
Professor Tesla claims, for one thing,
that he can make an incandescent lamp
with only one wire and no carbon fla
ment at all. By means of the mastery
he has gained over static electricity he
finds that no circuit is necessary in cleo
trio lighting. One wire passes from the
main line of the electric current, so to
speak, and stopsin the lamp. The branch
wires run off like side lines on railway
and need no return track. Moreover,
the carbon filament itself is replaced by
asingle solid block of carbon. Into this
block the electricity passes and makes it
glow brilliantly, and that is all there is
of it. What the change from the trou-
blesome, costly carbon filament to the
simple carbon block without any return
current means will be best known to
electricians.
Furthermore, the new electric light
current will be harmless. There being
no circuit to be completed, there will be
no danger. Professor Tesla passed
through his body, in presence of the
American Institute of Electrical Engi-
neers, current $50 times as strong as
that required to kill without It's having
the slightest effect on him. The secret of
this performance consisted in transform
ing dynamic electricity into static.
Another achievement Of Professor
Tesla is to be noted. He not only does
away with the carbon filament, but even
with the incandescent lamp itself. If
two large bright metal plates fixed
opposite each other be connected with
the terminal wire Of a dynamo and
the current turned on Immediately
there is created between them an
electrostatic field. If in this electro
static field is placed a glass tube, from
which the air has been exhausted, the
tube will Immediately glow with light
enough to illuminate room, although
it is entirely disconnected with the
plates. Tho plates may be set near the
opposite walls Of a room and then the
space can be illuminated by placing the
tubes anywhere in the room. Perhaps
here is the electric light of the future.

DEMOS IN DISGUISE.
That's What a Bradford Man
Styles the Leaders of the
Peoples Party.
But They Cannot Fool the
People in 1892 as They
Did in 1890.

Editor U,aaoa,: I cannot refrain
from expressing my thanks to you
for the wholesome truth expressed
through your editorial columns of
July End. You are right. The
alpha and omega of these political
gatherings is Office. Yes, office is
the sole ambition of the leaders of
the two-headed monstrosity called
the Peoples party, which was
launched into the political arena of
Minnesota Julye 18th. 1t was
launched by Alliance leaders, the
majority of whom are nothing
more or less than red hot Demo-
Gratis, ever ready and willing to
fuse with the solid south. This
double-headed party is satisfied
with everything that is, and in love
with everything that is not. 1t
has been launched into the politi-
cal field for two purposes in
reality for Office only-First, to
defeat the Republican party; Sec
ondly, to cultivate sugar-coated
words to bait the unthinking farm
ers with, for the sole purpose of
boosting themselves into Office.
Now then, what has the G. O. P.
done that it must be knocked
higher than Gilderoy's kite in
1892? It has done this in the
thirty-six years of its existence: 1t
has struck the shackles from off
the limbs of 1900, 900 blacks, sue
cessfully conducted a war of gigan-
tic proportions for the preservation
of the union, it has made our
country free without a slave and
strong without standing armies or
great navies, it has given u.s. the
homestead law thereby populating
the west and northwest with a
thrifty and intelligent class of set
tiers, it has paid off nearly half Of
the colossal war debt, it has given
US money that is received at par in
every market of the world, it has
cherished and protected home in
dustries thereby protecting Ameri-
can working men, it is the party
Of free schools and free press, and it
is the party of progress and patri-
otism. What kind of a record is
there on the other side? Abso-
lutely nothing except obstruction
to American progress. Look at
the record of the Democrats in
the last congress and in our State
legislature. Will the genuine
farmers of the State permit the
political confdence-men, lead
ers of the Alliance, to again hand
the legislative department of the
State government over to Demo-
cratic misrule?
A self-seeking politician is the
same, under whatever name, and
the mere label Alliance or Peoples
party will not hide the ears or dis
guise the voice. We farmers of
this vicinity will recognize him as
the same old donkey with the old
familiar bray but new name.
