PROMOTIONS FROM THE RANKS.

The number of promotions from the
ranks in the regular army during the
past few years, has had the effect of
raising the standard of military service
in all departments, according to those
who are in position to observe the con-
dition of the army from time to time. 1t
could not be otherwise. A commission
in the regular army is prize, for the at
tanment of which young man may well
put forth his best energies, and when held
out as an inducement for entering the
service, is sure to attract competition
from class of men, who would other
wise seek recognition in another field of
endeavor. Hundreds of men are now en-
listing in the army annually with the
hope of getting a second lieutenants COM
mission. Of course some must fail, bat
the fact that great many are succeeding
in winning the coveted shoulder straps,
stands as constant inducement to those
who have a penchant for military affairs.
The logical effect is to raise the standard
of the rank and file, and today point of
excellence has been reached, hitherto I'M
known in the regular army of the United
States.

The RETROACTIVE CLAUSE.

Some time since the New MEXICAN pre-.
dicted that the tariff bill would encounter
rough handling in the senate, and that it
would leave that body with little SEM
blence of the measure that was turned
over to it by the house of representatives
From the press dispatches of the past
two days it is fair enough to assume that
these predictions are going to be fulfilled.
Yesterdays news of the senate proceed
ings conveys the information that the
retroactive clause has gone to the dogs
on trade with Democrats. No doubt
that it was New York influence --oommer.
cial lnfuence--that brought about the
result as given above. The retroactive
clause as it stood in the Dingley bill was
intended TO save the government several
millions of dollars that otherwise will go
straight into the pockets of ely New
York importers, who after oil will be
able, by reason of having tools in the
United States senate, to swindle the gov
eminent to the extent of very large
sum of money. Their scheme should not
be called by any other name. 1t is rob-
berry and nothing else, and the men in
high official life who aid in the consum-
nation of such a scheme are worse than
robbers. The moneyed interests of the
country-Wall street, the trusts, etc.,
have staunch friend in the U. s. senate,
q friend that may be depended upon, on
all occasions to defeat the interests of the
people. The statement Is amply verified
in the present instance. A dozen or
more New York importers put up
scheme to swindle the government of
millions of dollars. This scheme is in
danger of defeat in the house of repre-
sentatives, but once beyond the jurisdic-
ton of this body, and safely in the SEN
ate, the danger line is passed aud such
support ID offered as to render the pro-
ject as clear steal as any of which civil
law ever took coguizance.

TURKEYS ATTITUDE.

There can be no doubt that King George
OF Greece is telling the exact truth when
he Gays that the Turks have been urged
on to attack his country by the European
concert. II must be remembered, that
until driven to take the defensive, the
Greek forces have made no hostile dem
onstrations. Hostlities up to the time
that self. defense with the Greeks became
a necessity, have been carried on exclu-
slvely by irregulars for whose acts the
government ought not to be held re-
sponslble. As King George explains in
his interview OF yesterday, no man or
governing body could restrain these SOL
diers from carrying on kind of guerilla
aged by the regular army of Greece or
the government. The regular forces of
Greece were called into active service,
only when the presence of large bodies OF
Turkish soldiers had opened attacks at q
dozen different points, learning no doubt
as to the intention of the Sultan Ia his
attempts to subjugate people toward
whom he has long maintained a thinly
disguised attitude OF hostility. This atti-
tude would no doubt long ago have as.
sumed the form of open warfare, had the
Turks received sufficient encouragement
from the other powers of Europe. Up to
very recent date however, this enoour-
agement has been withheld, but when
rendered it was eagerly accepted by the
Sultan, and war upon his neighbor is
the logical result. No fairminded per.
son, who has followed carefully, the pres
eut controversy between the two coun-
tries, can for moment doubt that Tur-
key is backed in her present attitude to-
ward Greece by the "concert" which has
involved deep laid scheme intended to
wipe Greece off the map Of Europe. Time
alone will reveal the true inwardness Of
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1897-04-22

this crime. It's clear enough that the pow
ers who are aiding in the subjugation of
Christian Greece, are prompted by mo-
tives which do not appear upon the sur
Locomotives which if sub jected to the
light of criticism, would no doubt place
the powers in anything but an enviable
position. Greed, the lust of power or do
main, revenge, court irtrigues-all these
play part in the government of Eu-
ropean countries today, as well as in the
days that have gone.
1t is probable that nearly every one of
the more important European govern
ments, are involved to greater or less
extent in the war which has now com
menced between Greece and Turkey.
The storm has been brewing for some
time, and has much more Significance
countries which are TO have the brnnt OF
the conflict. The Sultan is playing a
desperate game, and he will probably
learn when it is too late that he has been
serving the concert in the capacity of q
cats paw. In the hands of European
diplomats he is proving plant tool
and is made to strike Greece with a
weapon thst will ultimately prove a
boomerang, reacting to his own undoing

The Result In Kentucky.

Kentucky Republicans are, apparently
very much like Kentucky Democrats, and
both parties in that state are troubled
with an excess of fire-eating colonies.
The present situation at the state capital
is an extremely exciting one, with charges
and counter-charges Of Eruption, &C.
companied by threats of personal vio-
lence. There is nothing to this entire
struggle that is creditable to Kentucky.
The chief participants appear TO be ami
mated exclusively by unworthy motives
and to pnt personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT or
grievances above all other considerations.
The result will likely be to send the state
back into the Democratic column, there
to remain until the Democratic colonies
have again demonstrated their inability
to rise above the plane of rowdyism that
characterized them before the recent po-
litical revolution II ittsburg Dispatch.

MAYOR Toms candidacy

MAYOR TopD's candidacy for U. s.
senator to succeed DR.. Hunter, taken out
of the race by grand jury, was prob
ably the briefest on record. Monday
evening he announced himself candi-
date, and on the following morning he
withdrew, finding that he could not get
the support necessary for nomination.
This Kentucky senatorial contest is a
strange middle at best, and has presented
some extremely unique features. No
donbt, it will be settled one of these days
but it will long be remembered as con-
test that has been prolific of much bust
ness, and that has stirred up enmities
that will long outlast the present genera
tion. Politics is great business.

the New York Times. This means, of

have the territory. 1t will be easy enough
to find the pretexts when the prepare
tions are ready, but the plan is plain.
The better way would be to demand it
and to take it, and thus make the rob-

lives will be sacrificed, and great victories
will be manufactured for the troops.

AReasonable Explanation,

The withdrawal of Spanish troops from
Cuba to the number of 10000 or more
during the rainy season may be dictated
by economy. Since military operations
during that period are impracticable and
the troops might be more cheaply and
certainly more safely maintained In Spain
than in Cuba. This is a more Reasonable
explanation than that Spain proposes to
give up the island.-Kansas City Star.
