The KANSAS CONSTITUTION.

1t will be 93 years on August 9
since the historic Wyandotte conven-
ton completed its labors and gave to
the people of Kansas the first consti-
tuition that proved adequate to the
demands and equal to the emergen-
cies of that time. 1t is quite proba-
BILE that the event will be duly cele-
brated in this city and all the defer
ence shown that historic gathering
its importance IN history demands.
OF the 4s members of that body
only nine were alive to celebrate the
25th anniversary, and today there
are but seven living, all of whom are
prominent in state affairs. The
seven who signed that document
are Hon. John j. Ingalls,, Edmund
G. Ross, John Il. Burris, Ben Simp.

INeERso11 ON TOBACCO.

In the course of an interview in
Chicago the other day Col. Ingersoll
said:
81 know of nothing that has given
more comfort to the human race af-
ter all than tobacco. 1t is a compan-
ion. | do not see how anybody can
wait for train without cigars. To
bacco is a great consolation to exiles,
to prisoners, to men who work in
mines, to choppers in the forest, to
sailors and to all people who are
alone. L know of nothing that so
consoles the mind of man as tobacco
Whenever we go in barbarian coun-
tries-Central Africa or the far off
islands of the Pacifc-the natives
Immediately get in love with tobac,
co. They will work for it; they will
hunt elephants tusks if you will
only pay them in tobacco. So l have
made up my mind that there is some
thing in the nature of man that asks
for this divine and consoling weed"

Mr.. CLEVELAND OBJECTS.

Mrs. Cleveland has received the
letter from Mary Frost Ormsby, of
New York, informing her of the
formation of a Frances Cleveland In
fuence club, composed of wives, sis
tiers and daughters of Democrats, to
do campaign work. The following
letter has been sent in reply:
GRAY GABLES, BUzzARD's BAY,
Mass, July 6, 1892.-Mrs. Mary
Frost Ormsby: My DEAR MADAM
Mira. Cleveland has referred to me
your letter informing her of the or.
ganization of "Frances Cleveland
Influence club" 1t is by no means
pleasant TO dissent from the methods
which sincere trends adopt when
their efforts not only demonstrate
their friendliness, but when they also
seek to subserve the public good, and
are, therefore, engaged in patriotic
service. 1t is, however, impossible
for us to approve of the use of Mrs.
Cleveland's name in the designation
of clubs designed to do political
work. We trust you will not under
value our objection, because it rests
upon the sentiment that the name
now sacred in the home circle as
wife and mother may well be spared
in the organization and operation of
clubs created to exert political inhu-
ence. Yours Very Truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

RESOURCES.

The resources of the territory, as
the foundation of its ability to sus-,
tain its own government permanent
ly, are properly a matter for inquiry.
And on this subject we may make
the broad assertion that New Mexico
is endowed with greater natural re-
sources, and in greater variety, than
any other state or territory in the
union. This probably sounds ex-
travagant, and may be considered as
a specimen of western hyperbole, but
while it is a bold statement, it is
made with an entire appreciation of
its full significance, and is well con-
sidered and deliberate. Let me re-
peat it. No single state or territory
embraces within its borders the vari-
ETY. and extent of natural resources
which exist in New Mexico. Only
one approaches it, and that is Cali
fornia; and the possession of almost
hmitless beds of coal, both bitumi-
nous and anthracite, give New Mex
leo a superiority even over that fav-
ored state. If space permitted, it
would be easy to show the truth of
this general statement. AS it is, l
must refer to more extended docu-
ments, which will be supplied with
pleasure, for the particulars.-Gov.
Prince in argument to senate COM
mittee.

Mrs. Logan is said to be the his
toric woman who drank out of a
finger-bowl to save the feelings of
an embarrassed guest from Podunk,

claims of her friends that she is the
most corteous woman in Washing
ton. No such sacrifice to politeness
has been made since Lord Chester

DRAFTS DIsHoNoRED.

A special to the Globe-Democrat
says that attachments were run on
the Pueblo Public Sampling Works
company by the Western Bank and
Safe Deposit company, of Denver,
for 1900, and by the City National
bank, of Denver, for $4,000. Satur-
day President Chas. Ruter stated
that the failure of the company was
due to the delay of Taylor & Rath-
un, mining brokers of Denver, to
meet accepted drafts. These brok-
ers handled the output of the May
Mazzeppa mine, and Mr.. Ruter had
the contract to sample and sell the
ore to the highest bidder. His COM
pany made a practice of accepting
the time draft of the Denver brokers.
The banks came back upon the samp-
ling company, resulting in the fail
ure. No other creditors but the
Denver banks are involved. The
sampling company was operating a
leased mine.
The above company was the one
that II. G. Joy, formerly with the
First National bank here, was con-
nected with, and his many friends
here will be sorry to hear of his
financial troubles.

Philip Milhiser has had another
brief fled with the secretary of the
interior, containing the decisions of
the United States court of land
claims, which are claimed to have
some bearing on the Las Vegas
grant. We are not enough of law
yer to give an opinion as to their eff
feet on the status of the Las Vegas
grant, but wish there was some way
this matter could be fixed up to.mor.
row, as it would have great effect
on the advancement of the town. It's
all right to talk of pushing business
here, but with an unsettled grant, of
which everyone is suspicious, we
cannot get settlers to stop here.

Throughout New Mexico towns
thousands of circulars are shipped by
express and delivered to every fami-
ly. These circulars are poison to the
merchants of the territory. I'm other
words they act as the song of the ST.
rem to entice away, and they do entice
away thousands of dollars every
year, to the detriment of the home
merchants of New Mexico. 1t is a
known fact that Las Vegas is selling
hundreds of articles as cheap as Sac
ramento or San Francisco. 1t would
be feasible and practicable for the
merchants of the territory to com
bine and fight this great engulfer of
their very life and energies.

The illustrated handbooks distrib-
uted by the western railroad compa-
MES are far more expensive than
might be supposed from the freedom
with which they are given away.
One of unusual elaborateness, pre-
pared for circulation some time ago,
cost over 1900 for the mechanical
artistic work alone, to say nothing of
the pay and expenses of the artists
who prepared the sketches, or of the
men who did the writing. The pa
per used is very fine, the press work
of the best, and it is safe to say that
this publication cost from So, 900 to
$1,000.
