of Sept. 10, 1898, for instance, was an
editorial Of which this is an extract:
For more than Is years, 1875 to 1898, all tho
great primary agricultural staples have been
declining In price, although there have been
periods when the price Of some one was high
for limited time. This il more notably true
as respects secondary products, especially
meats AMI lard. but the trend of the whole
scale has been constantly downward. and the
general price level at the end OF each year
was lower than at its beginning In the mean
time there had been no material reduction in
the cost OF production, the self binder, the
gang pillow, mower, hay tedder and hay loader
and all other great improvements In agricul-
tural machinery having come into use prior to
1878. Subsequent notifications and improve
ments have been In the direction Of greater
facility in operation rather than OF lessened

wEYLER's TRUTHFULNEss.

The Spauierds in Cuba frequently
dislodge the patriot forces from strong
positions, and do it really with consider
able ease. Captain General Weyler's
reports to this effect are undoubtedly
true. This is the way it Is done. The
Cubans occupy q strong position IN re-
gion where the Spaniards are moving
about. The SpanIards continue to move
about, and when they come near the
strong position, without meaning to 90
anything of the sort, the Cubans attack
them, the Spaniards run away and the
Cubane chase them. In tins manner
the Spsnierds dislodge the Cnbans from
their strong position. and sometimes
dispense them by, in their flight, unwit-
tingly leading the Cubans off in various
directions. It not infrequently happens
in these Spanish victories that the Gu
bans leave good many dead en- the
field, usually Spanisrds.
When the true history of the Cuban
war comes to be written, il will be found
that Gen. Weyler has been sometimes
quite falsely accused OF lying. This is
partly due to his unfortunate iufrmity
of 81 ways lying whenever he has time TO
think about what he is saying, and part

TWENTY TWO MILLION.
The Amount Of Damages Claimed by
Mexico.

@S~@SSs
Along no considers BILE portion of its
course the Rio Grande constitutes the
international boundary between the
United States Mexico. Until within few
years the Rio Grande served the pur~
pose OF boundary line very creditably
and satisfactorily. but recently the set
tiers in Colorado and New Mexico
(awey up stregm) have taken SO much
water out OF the river for the purpose
OF irrigation that the old boundary
line becomes oblitarated during the
dry season, and this has made so much
treble for the Mexicans that their gov
erpment claims of the United States
S22, 100000 damages.
The circumstances upon which they
base their heavy claim for damage can
be briefly summed up as follows, says
the Express: From the Eeighborhood
Of Ell Psso, extending about ninety
miles down the river, there is a valley
about fifteen miles wide, and since the
river has got into the habit of going
dry every summer it has cut many diff
ferent and widely diverging channels
with the advent of flood water. In
this way the international boundary
has been practically obliterated as far
as this valley, fifteen miles wide and
ninety miles long, is concerned. This
has led to endless complications as to
national jurisdiction, and finally to
condition OF utter lawlessness.
In addition to this, the Mexicans
CLAIM that for some 200 years they have
been cultivsting the lands of this
valley on their side of the boundary
which were made very fertile and pro-
ductive by irrigation from the waters
of the Rio Grande, but since the river
has been Systematically and continuous
ly robbed of its waters by the Amer
lean settlers Of Colorado and New Mex
leo just at the season when the water
was needed for irrigation, the valley
below Ell Psso has become q sterile
desert, absolutely worthless for sgrlcul-
tural purposes.
They claim that the Mexicape have
a prior CLAIM to the water of the Rio
Grande, as they we're using it for pur-
pose of irrigation 200 years ago, but
now they have been robbed not only of
the water, but OF the international
boundary line, and, indirectly, Of law
and order in the valley referred to.
In view of all this they set up claim
for 500, 100000 damages.

The New Use For the Cathode Ray.
Some very unique cathode-ray exper
iments of extraordinary success have
Oeen made in Oregon City, Or, by DR..
j. q. Perry, we'll known physician Of
San Francisco, and w. @. Cheney,
superintendent of the Portland Cen
eral ELECTRIC company. The exper-
iments were made with gold-5earing
rock, in which the rays defined the free
gold as plainly as if it lay on the sur
face of the quartz. So far as known
this Is the first successful experiment
of the kind with quartz, and the results
obtained iustifies the assertion that the
new ray will prove Of immense value in
mining operations.
Besides their successful experiments
with quartz, DR.. Perry and Mr.. Chez
ney have succeeded in cutting down
the time OF exposure to quarter OF sp
hour. The importance OF this de-
crease in time is significant, when it
is required to retain one position with
out moving throughout the exposure.
Both DR.. Perry and Mr.. Cheney eX-
plain this decrease by the effectiveness
OF Mr.. Cheney's inductive coil, which
was used in all the experiments and
which its owner considers the most
powerful coil west OF Chicago.

THE MEXICAN MINES AND TUG
SON

The prosperity Of every city in the
United States that hos sprung up IN
the great region that produces the pre-
cious metals is directly due to the de-
velnpment of the mining industry. Inc
discovery OF vast bodies OF rich silver
ores in the vicinity of Tucson made this
one OF the most prosperous or ali our
interior cities, so long es silver remain
ed on parity with gold. Fortunately,
however, the demonstration of silver
has stimulated the development of gold
mines in the territory that is tributary
to this city 10 such an extent that the
immediate future gives promise that
Tucson will again become the mining
center OF the southwest. What this
means to our merchants and TO every
avenue OF trade in this city, no one need
be told who lived in the old pueblo dur
ing her palmy days.
During the past two years large sums
of money have been invested in the CO.
velopment of gold mines in that portion
of Northwestern Sonora whose trade is
directly tributary to Tucson This
trade will increase In volume and value
from year to year, for tie reason that
the great mines to tha southwest OF US,
which have only been opened during
the past year, will develop in magni-
tude beyond present belief.
Mexico not only has great mineral de-
posite, that are destined TO enrich that
favored country, bu4fhe has, wisely,
enacted laws that are moro favorable
then our OVID to the mine owner who is
seeking to legitimsteiy develop his prop
erty.
President Diaz will be remembered
as long for this admirable system OF
mining laws which be personally favor
ed as for any one act OF his brilliant sd-
ministratiou. A chief executive is great
est ia the wise choice of his cabinet Of
ficers. In this respect Diaz is conspicu-
Gus. His present gifted secretary OF the
treasury, Mr.. Limentuer, IS a man like
Alexander Hamilton, the famous au-
thor of our fiscal system. Limentuer is
one OF the great men of our time, OF
broad, liberal, progressive views; of or
iginal, practical and business-like ideas
To him is due the credit Of abol:shipg
the interstate system OF taxation, which
act has added immeasurablY to the pros
perity of our sister republic.
