The city fathers of Valdosta are doing
a wise work in inaugurating a vigorous
campaign of tree planting. Everybody is
planting trees. and the city viii put out
between 500 and 1000 water oaks this win
ter. 1t is proposed that tree planting shall
be continued until every street in the town
is shaded. Valdosta is already a pretty
town, but the trees will immeasurabIy
increase its beauty

From the valdosta (Ga) Times DemJ.

We might as well get at the truth OF
things as we go along. The Atlanta Con-
stitution maintains that Congressman
Crisps speech on the bond bill divided
the republican vote on that measure
The facts are that Congressman Turner
was the only democrat who spoke against
the bond bill before forty-seven republI-
cans C2ucused together and decided to
vote against it, Turner spoke on Friday
Friday night the forty-seven republicans
caucused. Saturday, just before the vote
was taken. Crisp spoke. If a democratic
bomb scattered them Turner threw the
bomb. That is clear.

cate, the rebels have the best of it. An
other rainy season will be here after a

1t is to be hoped that the young orange
trees in Florida will come out of the cur
rent cold snap in good shape. 1t is to be
feared, however, that the warm days of
last week sent the sap up. and that the
cold wave found the trees fun of moist
ure. In that case, the young and tender
trees would probably suffer, in cases
where they were not given excellent pro-
lection. Reports show the wave to be
one of great extent and intensity, and the
indications are that it win be felt even
as far south as Bermuda

The Island of 81. Thomas.

The need of this government for a coal
ing station in the West Indies has been
long recognized. Negotiations for the pur-
chase Of the Mole ST. Nicholas in Hayti
were carried on under the Grant admins
tration, but failed. and later, under the
Harrison administration unsuccessful eff
forts were made to secure the cession OF
the Mole to this government.
The report, on the authority of a Dan
ish journalist, that Denmark wishes to
sell her West India possessions, the ISL
ands of ST. Thomas and St. Croix, ana
would prefer that the United States be-
came the purchaser revives interest in
the securing of the needed West Indian
naval depot by this government. ST.
Thomas is frequently spoken of as the
keystone of the West Indian arch. 1t is
a small island, being only about thirteen
miles long from east to west by about
three miles wide. 1t is about 1000 miles
east of Havana, and about thirty-sx
miles east of Porto Rico. The feature
which would make it a value to the
United States is its splendid harbor, sit
uated near the middle of the southern
coast. The harbor is large enough to ac-
commodate the navies of the world, yet
1t is almost completely land-locked. High
promontories rise on each side of the en-
trance, upon which, ihnpregnable fortifca-
tions could be planted. The entrance is
deep and in the harbor there is already
a large floating dock. At the head of
the harbor there is little town, Charlotte
Amalia, which does a small but profitable
business. The inhabitants of the island
are largely white, and English is the
language spoken. They have been well
governed by Denmark, hence there are no
instructions in the island such as char
acterize some of the islands of the West
Indian group These facts will have great
weight in the consideration of the pur-
chase of St. Thomas.
This government has previously had its
eye upon St. Thomas with a view to ac-
quiring it. In 1865 negotiations between
the state department at Washington and
the Danish minister went to the point of
fixing a price to be paid for possession
OF the island. But the Senate refused to
ratify the treaty drawn to bind the bar
gain and sale, and the negotiation fell
through. Charles Sumner is credited with
having defeated the negotiation. Three
years later there was an offer from Den
mark to sell the island to the United
States, but it was declined 1t is sug-
gested that 100000 would now buy St.
Thomas.
The report is that at its next session
the Danish Storthing will renew the Of
fer to sell to the United States the Dan
ish possessions in the West Indies. Sen
ators Morgan, Voorhees,, Chandler and
Lodge have been quoted as saying that the
United States should at once take steps
to acquire the islands by purchase; or
the island of st. Thomas at all events.
The other Danish possessions in the West
Indies are without great value, inasmuch
as they produce very little and are with
out harbors.

The London Chronicles Washington
correspondent is proving to American
newspaper men that they do not possess
a corner of journalistic enterprise. The
identity of the Chronicles correspondent
is not generally known, but it is un
doubtedly fact that he is getting some
information with regard to the Vene-
zuela affair in particular and the relations
of England and America in general that
is nightly interesting, and which the
American newspaper men have not yet
presented as he is presenting it, 1t is a
great compliment to the correspondent
that his specials are cabled twice across
the ocean for publication.

COL. HUGHES MISTAKE,

Talk about your cuttletish journalism,
doesn't the Albuquerque Citizen take the
cake in that directions Why, the Citizen
doesn't know beans when the bag is plum
full. Here we End the Citizen gulping
down the Las Vegas platform as if it were
juicy Santa Fe peach, when, in reality,
if it had possessed any sort of tact and
political foresight it would have gone
straight ahead advocating and supporting
its national party platform, and also sup
porting Mr.. Catron, but taking little heed
of the miserable, cowardly, makers shift ex-
cuse of platform put forth by the terri
torial Republicans. Had the Citizen
adopted this course, which would certain
ly have been manly and consistent, 1t
might, In the possible event of McKin-
ley's election, have stood some show of
dividing the honors of distributing the
federal patronage with Judge Morrison
and other non-trimming politicians of its
particular faith, but the Citizen has made
its bed once more in the Catronist dung
heap. It will have to abide the conse-
quences and suffrage, even to the ex-
tent, possibly, of again sending it's editor
to Jail

The REPuDiAIInNlSIS.

Now let's all guess who will be chief
pie-counter guardian in New Mexico--in
the remote contingency that Mckinley is
elected. II can't be Catron, for he forced
reputation of the straight Republican
platform. Nor can Pete Perea and Nat
ional Committeeman Sol. Luna pose as
the deserving 'two orphans, for they
have too often hobnobbed with Catron in
fixing up the deal to capture the Las
Vegas convention. McFie and Llewellyn,
of course, are not in it, for between them
that curio repudiationist platform was
cut aud dried. But on the other hand
there are Morrison, Collier, Dryer, Fiske,
Tom Helm and Levi Hughes ct al. Oh,
the be plenty of fellows to distribute
the patronage-if Mckinley is elected,
but Catron and his crowd will have to
take back seat. They are the real re-
pudiationists!

The Ballot a Right,

Ralph E. Twitchell, secretary of the
Republican League of New Mexico, in a
long communication to the Las Vegas
Optic, says:
II have not been educated in that
school Of politics or political economy
which teaches that the ballot is the in
alienable right of every American citizen.
This sort of clap trap is chiefly used by
political bunco steerers and demagogues
who appeal to the uniformed voter for
his support. The ballot is not right.
1t is privilege"
Inasmuch as Mr.. Twitchell was educat-
ed in the Republican ''school of politics. .
it may be presumed that the party to
which he belongs does not believe in the
right of the ballot, but that the citizen
must crave, from tho bosses the privi-
lege to vote. This may be good Repub-
lican doctrine but it will hardly be &C.
cepted by the voters of this country who
have been educated to believe that the
ballot is "the inalienable right of every
American oitizen."-White Oaks Eagle.

GOIdites Against statehood.

Bryan is going on about the import
ance of the immediate admission of
Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico as
states. 1t is not difficult to understand
Mr.. Bryan. He wants six more silver
states right away, to Offset, for example,
the three states in the senate-New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio. Mr.. Bryan
would, no doubt, if he we're president, be
for the immediate adm ission of Alaska.
With these the senate would be in the
hands of the extreme silver men for an
indefinite period, and the silver miners
would use the senate to backmall the
whole country; that is part of the Bryan
cheme.-Brooklyn Standard Union.

ALTHOUGH Delegate Catron's main hold
in the Republican convention was given
by the straighout goIdites such as Tom
Hughes, Perea, Frost ct al, he consented

consider merely suckers to be caught by

failure of his boy to pass at West Point.
