GOOD TIMES COMING.
A Shrewd Eastern Observer Has the
Nerve to Make n Business
PrOphesy.

Mathew Marshall, the we'll known fnan-
cial writer for the New York Sun and one
of the shrewdest and most accurate judges
of all matters pertaining to finance, says
in his last letter: "To any one who has
followed, as have, the history of bust
ness affairs in the country for half a CEN
fury, their present condition is no more
surprising nor alarming than is the ad-
vent of winter after the reign of summer
is over. Those to whom it is novelty,
occurring for the first time in their lives,
and even those who have before passed
through similar experience but have
forgotten it, may think and act as il the
end of all things was at hand, but all old
stagers know better. This wintry finan
cial weather which now prevails must as
certainly, sooner or later, yield, first to
spring and then to summer, as the earth
revolves around the sun. Profits and in
come are for while going to be small or
to disappear altogether, and wages can
not fail for awhile to be reduced, and new
enterprises will not be undertaken and
old ones will be carried on with less
zeal; but this will not continue forever.

THE TRANSCEkDENTAL FINANCE.

The spectacle of Comptroller Eckles
standing in the 18th annual convention
of national bankers and commencing
them for the heroic fight they had made
to preserve tho American people from
disaster is wonderful. There is saying
that no cause is so great or so shameful
that a lawyer will not advocate it. Mr..
E:kles is lawyer, not a fnancler or
banker, and it is a not unnatural spec
tacle to see him entering special pleas in
favor of false economic proposition.
No banker in his place would have had
the cheek to utter Mr.. Eckles sentiments
He would have known that bankers
business is to make money, and If by
approaching the value of legal tenders
securities can be enhanced it is not a
matter of sentiment, but of plain, pure
business TO be discussed IN the Office and
not in the ASST mbly. 1t is a question of
so many unearned dollars to the credit
of the banks and not of heroism that
actuates tho gold standard men. The
ban kers know this if Mr.. Eckles does not.

RAILROAD IMPROVEMENT.

As announced in the news columns of
this journal D. B. Robnsonstirst vice
president; ]. j. Frey, general manager,
and Fl. A. Nudge, general superintendent,
of the A., T. & S. F. railroad, are expected
to arrive in Santa Fo tomorrow. They
are returning from an inspection trip
over the Guaymas, Silver City and Lake
Valley branches of the road. One thing
must have been apparent to these gentle
men and that is the vast and rich country
that the stub roads starting from Rincon
and the Lamy branch leave opened in
New Mexico. When the plan of putting
out these feeders was proposed this road
quickly took up the idea. 1t has been
successful SO far. Something yet remains
to be done. To the east of the main road
lies the Pecos valley, soon to be tributary
to the greatest trunk line known. To the
northwest lies the great San Juan coun-
try. AS the party traversed the grassy
valleys of the southwest, past the long
trains of ore cars, and noted the general
fertility of the country, they must have
been struck with the great empire that
was tributary to their main line. The
wise and prudent policy that has actuated
these beginnings should be pursued to its
legitimate end. The rich southeast and
northwest contain the cream of New
Mexico's agriculture and minerals. By
pursuing the same wise and conservative
improvement in the future these regions
will blossom as the rose. The officials
who will be our guests deserve the thanks
of the people and the support not
only of the public, but of their
stockholders and directors for the
almost prescience with which they have
warded off insidious attacks on their cor
poration. That the road will make a
good showing at the approaching meet
ing is due to their and President Rhein-
harris unceasing and untiring efforts.

A DEMOCRATIC VIEW.
The W hite House Clock and the Sen
atOrial CuckGOs Responded.

81 have taken the pains to inquire how
many senators have condescended to look
at the question in its material aspects as
it appeared upon the statute book, and l
have found that very few have read the
statutes that are to be affected by the
proposed act. But the trumpet was
sounded, forces were marshaled, the clock
has struck at the White house and the
cuckoos have put their heads out of the
box and responded, and informed us of
the time of day; but they did not know
what they were talking about and did not
take the pains to find out."-Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, in the United States
senate,

Unless the whole system OF the universe
shall be changed, we shall within a COM
paratively brief period be again in the full
tide of returning prosperity, which will
last until the time comes for another
collapse, and then the mass of people
will be as much surprised and as angry
and as anxious to throw the blame of
their misfortunes upon somebody or
something else as they are now"

That Pair of Pants.

When I was summering last year near
Geneva, writes Joseph S Berthier in the
New York Recorder, 1 met w. R. Chirdwick,
| a good friend of mine and the funniest fellow
[ ever knew Among many things he told me
the following story;
Lately 1 have been travelling throughout
France and some two or three weeks ago
almost penntless. Al any rate, I managed to
20 up to ThOnon, few miles from Geneva
and on my way there I thought great deal
of how to reach Geneva.
L passed the night at the Leon dor, and
the next morning when I woke up l called for
the garcon and asked him for my pants. 1t
is the custom in French hotels, you know to
put outside Of your rooms your shoes and
clothes, so that the following day you find
everything clean.
After some search he told me that he
could not find them. I insisted and had the
landlord called up. 1 am sorry, he said,
but no one can tell where your pants are
We'll I said, I want pair of pants and
ticket to Geneva l had in my pocket
The landlord was at a loss He had the
house searched over and over aSain, but no
pants.
Well said 1, I shall not 90 out Of here
without my pants and my ticket. Send for
the chief of police
Two hours later the landlord entered my
room, bringing new pair of pants and
ticket, apologizing for all the trouble"
l asked my friend where his pants were.
81 had none he said Il had pawned them
to pay my fare to Thonon."

The Cherokee Strip.

The Cherokee strip, which, according
TO Presidential proclamation, will be
opened to white settlement on September
10, comprises all the northern part of the
Indian Territory, from the Arkansas river
to the eastern border of "NoMan's Land"
and borders on the south upon Oklahoma.
In time it will probably be joined politi-
cally TO Oklahoma, and then we shall
have to admit into the Union another
sovereign state. The strip" is 175 miles
long from east to west and 81 miles wide
from north to south.
There is belief common that the land
is to be had without money and without
price by the fortunate persons who may
be able to yet in ahead of competitors
and comply with the law with regard to
stalking off claims and filing papers But
such is not the case. The land is for sale
by the government, The prices asked,
however, are merely nominal The east
ern portion of.the strip contains some ex-
cepti1ally fine agricultural lands. These
are held at $3.50 per acre. In the middle
portion, where the lands are not quite so
good, but still are fair for farming pur
poses, the price is Sl.50 per acre, while in
the western portion the price is 81. The
west is not good for much except grazing.
Taken as whole, the Cherokee strip
is a fine section of country, and it is prob
able that within few years it will be a
part of one of the most PROSPEROUS states
in the union For years the whole strip
has been leased by the Indians to a
wealthy syndicate TO be used as a cattle
range: No Improvements of any kind
have been made upon it; no plow ever
broke its soil. Within a year, however.
