san Juan in the Push.

The people of southwestern Colorado
and northwest New Mexico have been
sending their money out of the country,
at the rate of over $4,000 per annum for
sugar alone, and if the country ever ex-
poets to prosper it is time such leaks as
this were stopped.
The soils of this valley are admirably
adapted to the culture of sugar beets.
They have been tested here repeatedly as
to productiveness and there Is no doubt
whatever that beets grown here will
yield as much sugar as in any other part
of the world.
We understand that the soil here is
very similar to that of the Peoos valley
from which beets have thus far yielded
the largest per cent of sugar known, av-
eraging 16 per cent.-Aztec Index.

A Great Country.

No portion of the great Rocky noun
tain region is more capable of making a
great and prosperous commonwealth
than in New Mexico. The industrial con-
dition of the territory is constantly i'm
proving. The production and export of
sheep, wool, cattle and lumber Is being
constantly increased. Irrigation enter
prises are extending the agricultural
area. Her resources of gold, silver, iron,
copper, lead, coal and o.nsr mineral de-
posits are immense. Statehood wonld
assure an immediate development of all
these resources, and relieve her people
from the territorial vassalage they have
now endured for fifty years.-Denver

We hope it is all 30, that the declara-
ton of our Republican friends that pros
perity is upon us and BUSINESS boom is
bound to follow with the new year, is not
another campaign fairy tale, but, truly,
there must be something wrong when three
of the strongest national banks IN the
richest farming and manufacturing states
in the Union are forced to close their doors
as occurred in Pennsylvania yesterday.

WHEN the absurd Dingley combination
revenue and tariff bill was introduced at
the last session of congress, no one took
the measure seriously because no one
dreamed that it would ever become law
and because it was doubtful whether even
Dingley really favored its passage. Thus
early in the short session this diagnosis
of the sentiment entertained regarding
the bill has been verified. The bill doesn't
seem to have real friend in either house
or in any party.

PRESS COMMENT.
Another Combine.

1t is said that an offensive and defensive
alliance has been entered into between
the Las Cruces Republican leaders and
the Bernalillo county Republican leaders
to urge Pedro Perea for governor, aid
that another similar alliance has been
formed between the same Las Cruces Re-
publican leaders and the San Miguel
county Republican leaders with the object
of making Judge McFie United States
attorney ana M. A. Otero United States
marshal. 1t is not reported that the
gentleman who will move from Canton,
Ohio. to Washington, D. G., next spring
has applied for admission to either of
these combinations.-Lord Liberal.

The assassination of the Cuban patriot,
Maceo, through the treachery of his ply
stefan, will go down in history as one of
the most brutal and cowardly acts of
treachery ever recorded. This act shows
Butcher Weyler up to the world in his
true colors, and marks not only the be-
ginning of the end of his bloody career,
but the early overthrow of Spanish dom
nation over liberty-lovlng people.

BOssIsM ON TOP.

The unanirnity with which the press
and people ask What is Quay's game?'
Immediately upon the heels of his an
nouneement Of his candidacy for the
Presidency, shows the estimate put on
this tricky and successful machine
politician. Nobody thinks he expects
to be nominated. He is a candidate
only to keep Pennsylvania in line so
he can trade the vote for his own ends.
The worst commentary upon our poll
tical morals is the fact that the two
biggest States in the Union turn over
their political conscience and political
action to selfish schemers in the per-
sons of Quay and Platt. Does il mean
that the people approve their methods?
That they are Indifferent? or what?

A very rearkable step has been taken
in Chinese education nothing less
than the establishment in Tien-tsin of
Chinese university, on occidental
models, of which Charles d. Tenny, a
graduate of Dartmouth college and
0berlin theological seminary, will be
the first president. This is one of the
results, and may well prove the most
important result, of the war in which
Japan was victorious over China on
Chinese territory. This war proved to
the most enlightened minds of China
that the choice of Japan in opening
itself to the great progress of thought
and knowledge in the great outside
world, was vastly wiser than the con-
seryatism of the Celestial empire.

Referring to the Crisp-Turner speech
es on the money question, the Wash
ington Post says: There was slight
undercurrent Of bitterness between
old friends which escaped the official
reporters Of the House in the silver de-
bate on Friday. IT is said that there
was a soto voice exchange of unparlia-
mentary language between Mr.. Crisp
and Mr.. Turner while Mr. Turner was
holding forth. Just what the trouble
was has been zealously kept under the
surface, but the remarks were appar-
emily not pleasant ones for sensitive
ears. Mr.. Turner is very impatient Of
being interrupted, and has a peculiar
manner Of showing his dislike. 1t
sometimes borders on the contemptu-
Gus. 1t is said that little exhibition
of this kind toward Mr.. Crisp caused
friction, and lead TO the tilt. 1t escaped
the attention of most of those who
were listening to Mr.. Turner's speech.
Apparently the shafts did not strike
deep. Saturday Mr.. Crisp and Mr..
Turner were again seen in amiablc
'confab."

Amelie Rivers ought never to have
married. If she married at all, those
who read her books expected she would
initiate Lillian Russell and marry often.
Prince Troubetzkoi, who is to be
her second husband, is described as an
exceedingly fine looking man, of more
than six feet in height, fair of com
plexion. and about forty-fYe years of
age. lie speaks English exceedingly
well. He has achieved quite a reputa-
ton in an artistic way, being known
as the painter of some very clever
genres, and the composer Of the four
act opera Melusine," which in March,
1895, was produced in Moscow and
caused considerable enthusiasm. The
writer Of the libretto is NJ. Nuitter, and
the story of the lengend is said to be
not alone practically told, but the
music. after the German school, TO be
r;ch IN harmony and to show much in
at4uty of orchestration. Prince
Troubetzkoi is said to be the composer
of several exceedingly melodious songs,
which Mrs. Chanler has repeatedly
sung for the entertainment of her
English and French friends.
