ONE factor In the resources of the Uni
ted States for defense or aggression. an
English writer. Mr.. Stevens, points out
which no other Englishman has reck-
oned with. He remarks:
"At present the United States govern
ment pays $13S, 900, 900 a year to pen
sioners of the civil war As the men
die these pensions fall in at the rate of
five to eight millions annually; in 20
years or so the pension list will be a
white sheet of paper. That means over
twenty-si1 millions sterling year paid
already for military purpose which
can be diverted to armaments without a
cent of extra taxation. In 20 years this
country will be easily able to turn out a
dozen battleships a year without taking
cent out of anybody's pocket And
that means the naval supremacy of the
world.
''If we started the United States in
this course by some bungling attempt to
get our coaling stations half fortified
then it was the worst days work ever
did in our lives. But since the mischief
is done, and apparently done irremedia-
bly,, we had better face the situation
squarely and at once"

REFUSE TO TAKE THE CUE.

The Republican organs in New Mexico
are not adopting the Citizens ideas as to
the issues involved in this campaign to
any very great extent. The Citizen has
striven hard to give the boys the cue of
the bosses, and pull them into line for the
dead issue of mckinley and protection, y
but some of the Republican journals de-
cline to stultify themselves and under
take thus to play horse with their read
ing constituents. Even some of the Re-
publican newspapers have at last reached
the conclusion that the people Of New
Mexico are not fools. We elsewhere on
this page quote extracts to-day from the
Silver City Enterprise, Lordsburg Liberal
and Chloride Black Range, which bear
upon this point.
