is IT POLITICS?

Travelling Engineer Ross, OF the A., I. q
s.. F., recently promoted to that position,
Is organizing a "sound'-gold money
club among the railroad employees. His
headquarters are at Las Vegas. In this
connection the following is interesting:
A few days ago an order was issued by
President e. p. Ripley, of the Santa Fe
system. to the effect that a complete roster
of employees in the service of the company,
with their postofice addresses, be com
piled and sent him. 1t is not In the least sur
p~rising that President Ripley would want
a roster Of his employees, but the fact that
the order also asks for their addresses
arouses comment. 1t is rumored among
the office men that the roster Is for the
purpose OF sending each employe a stock Of
campaign literature.-Nev Mecican.
Go from home for the news. II Mr..
Ross is organizing such a club, THE
OPTIC is utterly unable to hear of it.
The only club that he is connected
with is the recently organized McKin-
ley-IIobart club, of this city. 1t is dis
tressing to see the laborious efforts of
the hired mar of the Governors OVn
to make a mountain out of a mole
hill.

1t behooves every citizen in city,
town and country to keep posted on
the stirring events that will occur IN
this country and in the old world
within the next nine months. The re-
suits will affect all, personally, directly
or indirectly. This nation is on the
v of the most exciting presidential
campaign in its history, European
politics are in a very complicated
state, and scientists are applying their
discoveries to many lines that will pro-
duce startling new things. To keep
abreast with the world one should
read, in edition to the local or
county paper, a live metropolitan
newspaper, such as The Twice "a Week
Republic, Of 81. Louis. 1t is the most
progressive journal in the United
States, and in each issue it gives the
latest political news of all parties in
the field, the latest general news OF the
world and many valuable special feat
ures besides. This model newspaper
is delivered twice-a-week By mail for
only 81 a year, or less than one cent a
copy. The price of the Daily and Sun
day Republic has recently been reduced
to only Sc a year by mail.

THE constitutional requirement,
made by the Mckinley Hobart CLUB,
that in order TO become a member of
the club, one must be"in full sympathy
with the republican platform as adopt
ed at St. Louis" will debar many
good republicans, who believe in free
silver, or even who favor bi-metalIism,
from becoming members. Evidently.
it is not a possibility for a man to be a
protection republican and a bi- metallist.
The edict seems to be "%protection and
The single-standard,' or Stree silver
and free trade"

Where Doctors Disagree.
From the New Mexican.

a ANCW
The editor of the Las Vegas DAILY
Optic and the writer of editorials for
the columns OF the Albuquerque even
ing Citizen evidently did not graduate
from the same republican school. From
an editorial 10 Tuesdays Optic we clip
the following: "*~*Let everybody un-
derstand that the republican party Of
New Mexico stands for protection, free
coinage and statehoo6**+." From a
recent issue of the Citisen: s.***If the
free coinage proposition carries, the
United States will be placed on exactly
the same monetary basis as Mexico,
and with a deoased money, laboring
men will be the first and principal
sufferers. *+.''-Gallup Cleaner.

the only blood purifier allowed an ex-

SOME ONE ANSWER THIS.

Ii we were TO hear of the discovery
of an entirely new nation of people,
and the word came to us that this ma
ton had so much more to eat than they
were able to consume, so much more to
wear than they could possibly wear, so
many conveniences for saving labor
that it did not pay them to work, that
the country for these reasons was in a
state of distress, that men, women and
children were starving, going almost
naked, though some of them toiled al
most day and night, would we not
think it q most extraordinary state of
a~ffairsP Yet that is the condition that
confronts the people of these United
States to-day.
The Kansas farmer has wheat, oats,
fruit, potatoes and cattle in abundance,
but cannot get money sufficient to buy
clothes, boots, books, furniture, wag-
ons and harness. While in another
part of the country, the clothier, the
boot maker, the furniture factory, the
wagon and carriage factories are closed
and are crying over. production. Men
willing to work and able to produce
these goods are starving. Can it be
lack Of money to transact the businessP
Money lenders in the eastern and CEN
trail states find it difficult to place their
money on good security at five per
cent.
Truly it is a condition and not a
theory that confronts the people
Will silver or protection or both
cure this evilP Or has our social or
~ganization become SO complicated that
there must be a radical change before
the common people can become pros
porous and happyP Perhaps the sin
gle tax club of Ration q give some
light or this subj act, if SO, light is
what we want.

there arc hundreds OF tons Of ore IN the
dumps, carrying values OF $40 per ton,
that have been obtained in developing

LOW GRADE ORES.

The extraction of mineral values
from ore is becoming one of the fine
arts, and is no longer conducted upon
crude methods, supported by high
rates of charges. The country is un-
derlaid with millions of ions of low
grade wealth, but SO far in the history
of mining it has been only the high
grade ore that would pay. Gradually
the treatment of ore is being reduced
to a science, and in some localities $40
ore and even ore of a lower grade is
being handled at q profit. The i'm
provement in metal extraction is pro-
crossing and spreading out. 1t has
reached the Cripple Creek district, and
promises 10 be of inestimable value to
that entire region.
Recently, says the Denver Times, the
Metallic Extraction company at Flor.
ence, IN experimenting with Cripple
Greek ores, discovered that $40 matter
could be handled at a profit, and plans
were at once made to enlarge tie plant
to a capacity Of 400 tons per day, and
was expected to be in running order
on August LIST. The company proposes
to pay 81 per ton by the car load for
$40 ore loaded on the cars at any
point on the Florence & Cripple Creek
railway. The benefit that this propo-
sition will be to the district cannot be
estimated. While there are any num-
