Oh, What Conceit!

From the New Mexican.
The National Recorder, of Washing.
ton, makes a unique announcement to
its exchanges regarding the interesting
series of political articles, written from
different standpolnts, which 1t is now
printing. II cordially invites the
wielder of the trenchant scissors to
clip and reproduce in his paper all or
such parts of these articles as he sees
fit without giving the Recorder credit.
This is generosity by an overwhelming
majority. The NeW Merican, which
extracts its highest enjoyment from
bestowing benefits upon those in need,
is conducted on the same broad and
benevolent principles as those that
battle the Recorder in perpetual sun
shine. Instead of bitterly complaining
when the albuquerque Citizen and
other OF its esteemed contemporaries
clip and reprint articles from its col.
umns without even a hint of credit, it
experiences a sweet sense of serene
contentment like unto that experienced
by the person who never lets one hand
know the good the other is doing, and
under such circumstances it always
feels moved TO pat the scissors man on
the back and commend him for show
that he knows a good thing when
ne sees IT,

TRUE TO THE TRUST.

The gentlemen whom the great Ter
ritory Of New Mexico has honored as
delegates to the St. Louis convention
should not mistake the trust which is
placed in them. They are simply se-
lected to sit in thu St. Louis conven-
ton to reflec. the sentiment of their
constituents. There can be no mis-.
take as to what this sentiment is. 1t
is for protection and a fair and just
treatment Of the silver question.
Every vote cast by the delegates from
this Territory will be held In strict &C.
count. Thus far, the republicans of
this Territory have not made one mis-
step. Let the delegates do their part
as we'll as have the people at large, and
they will return with the respect and
gratitude OF every true republican in
the Territory.

Some Washington correspondent Of
the Chicago Inter Ocean, who Is either
writing against space or Is a tool Of
the scheming politicians, suggests that
Indiana would break for Harrison at
the St. Louis convention should his
name be presented. This is the rank
est kind of rot. Indiana republicans
have taken ex-President Harrison at
his word, and are solid for Mckinley.
A popular vote in that state would
show that there are fifty republicans
who favor Mckinley for president to
one of all the other candidates in the
field. The tide all over the country
for Mckinley is too strong, and the
petty schemers had best make their
peace and fall in line.

From the Salt Lake Tribune.

We tell the world again to look ou'
for Japan. She is multiplying all thu
time her manufactures OF silk and o
cotton; she is building telegraph lines
and docks; she proposes in the imme
date future to spend $50, 000, 900 or
her navy in warskips and docks; thi.
is in addition to two battleships thai
are nearing completion. Her purpose
is to build a navy equal to the com,
blned squadrons on the Pacific stations
Her navy now consists Of over fifty
ships, manned by $4,000 men; more
appalling than that is the fact that she
maintains these forces at a cost of less
than 1000, 900 per annum.
The Japan mail steamship company
has increased its stock, and has now
over forty ocean steamers plying be.
tween the ports of Japan and Europe,
Australia and America; a good many
private firms have fleets of their own.
In twenty-five years, her total imports
and exports have increased from $42,-
500, 900 to $500, 000, 900. The postal
department has increased from 1884,
794, $50 letters, papers and packages
In 1889 to $780, sos in 1898 A.
Wages, too, have increased in that
country32Q per cent, in the last six
years. There are 5000 schools, at
the head Of which is the Imperial Uni
versity of Toxic, where more than
1900 students are in attendance, and
the course Of study compares favorably
With those pursued at the universities
of England and America.
Ia 1892, Japan published 5000
books, OF which only 1862 were fiction;
the remainder were devoted to law,
political science, agriculture, manufac-
lures. religion. geography, astronomy,
medicine. music, painting, education
and poetry.
When we think that 1t is only about
forty years since that country was
opened to the world, and only twenty
years snce anything like advancement
began there, we can estimate what kind
of a power it may become, with its
industries, with its initiative
faculties, with its pluck, and with its
cheap labor. And beyond Japan is
China, with q race even more subtle
than the Japanese; and though there
IS only a slight buzzing in that enor-
nous hive at present, wait until 1t be-
gins to swarm. We tell the civilized
nations that thew had better settle their !!
difficulties, reduce their business to an
economical basis, train their young
men and young women 10 the very
and noblest employments and
concentrate their energies and forces
% a contest with a power which is
'ounding into form, and which, under
ordinary conditions,no civilized people
IAN compete with.

TUESDAY EVENING, MAR. "a, 1896.
COMPROMISE TALK.

From the New Mericdn it 10 learned
that a special dispatch from Washing
tor to the St. Louis Republic, dated the
goth instant, says:
"The house committee on Territor-
les has been engaged hearing the case
in regard to proposed congressional
action upon bonds of the counties Of
Santa Fe and Grant, in New Mexico.
The late democratic legislature passed
a law providing for the issue of Terri
torial bonds, with which to rebuild the
capitol, burned some four years ago;
and bonds for the establishment of a
military institute; for an insane asy-
lum for a normal school of New Mex
leo, and a college of agriculture. A
bill passed the house approving this
Territorial act, and it now comes back
from the senate amended to validate
the issue of $172, 500 bonds Of the
ty of Santa Fe, originally voted in aid
of a railroad. This amendment was
promoted by Senators Brice and VOL
colt. Now, Mr.. Coler, a banker
of New York, proposes an
amendment validating $250,000 Of
Santa Fe county bonds originally voted
in aid of a railroad; and 5000 in
bonds of Grant county, voted for a
like purpose; and $4,000 in bonds of
the city Of Silver City, N. M. This
has stirred up an interesting contro.
Versy. The United States supreme
court has decided that bonds issued by
authority in aid OF railroads
are void, and hence the owners of the
bonds are in Washington to urge the
passage of a law validating their
Governor Thornton is here

Gildersleeve, of Santa Fe, is here to
