1t is difficult for the ordinary mortal
to see any connection between free
silver and the arbitration treaty with
Great Britain. but as Senator Teller an
nounces that the silver Senators DO not
intend to allow the treaty to be ratified
In hurry, which is his way of saying
prot badly that they do not intend to allow
it to he ratified at all, the natural pre-
sumption is that he has discovered some
connection between the two. Perhaps
the Senator'S idea is that Great Britain
is SO much in love with the arbitration
treaty that she will permit u "free sill
YER rider' to be attached to it as bride
for the free silver men of Colorado and
Montana Or perhaps, and this is more
probable, Senator Teller is angry with
Ireat Britain for sticking to the gold
standard and proposes to show it by
having nothing to do with her. Or per
haps, and this is the most probable ex-
PLANTATION of all, Teller is simply
following out the old polioy of the silver

CHARTER AMENDMENTS ADOPTED.

CHARTER AMENDMENTS ADOPTED
The amendments to the city charter
proposed az recent meeting of the city
council were all approved at last nights
meeting of that body and our representa-
tives in the legislature were requested to
use all honorable means to secure theiI
adoption by the legislature. These
amendments cover In q more or less
modified torm the most important
changes that were made by the charter
commission in their report They abolish
the lower board and provide for one
board of 81 members; provide for the
election of ovcrseers OF the poor by
wards; stablish fire commission; and
increase the power aud responsibility OF
the mayor. 1t looked at the previous
meeting as if the majority Of the council
was opposed to them, but maturer consid-
erations seem TO have convinced them
that the changes were desirable and in
the line of progress-as undoubtedly they
are. The people of Portland are to be
congratulated over this signal victory OF
the advocates of business methods in
municipal government.

lie defence that is put in of the ex-
penditure of $3.50, coo on tho Bradley Mar
tin ball that it will put money in circu-
lation, can be offered with equal justice
for any sort of extravaganza, and If it is
a good defence for that expenditure it is
al equally good one for any other OF like
nature. Yet the world for several thous
and years has been under the impression
that all ways of spending money were
not equally creditable; that extrava-

that the man who spent his money in

was not so valuable a citizen as he
who spent it for the creation of things

THE BOULEVARD PROJECT.

1t is to be hoped that our citizens gem
orally will not fail to read carefully
Mayor Baxter's communication to the
City Council on the subject of the pro-
posed boulevard around Back Cove.
This undertaking when first preached
by Mr.. Baxter. was looked upon by many
as visionary scheme impossible Of ac-
complishment except at an expense far
beyond Portland's ability. 1t was a
dream-an exceedingly attractive one
they admitted-but could not be real
lied But Mayor Baxter has persevered
and it will be sesn by his communion
tion has made most gratifying progress.
de has obtained from nearly all the
owners of the land along the DeerinR
shore promises to convey So much of
their holdings as Is needed for the drive
way, to the city, free of expense. All
but one-eighth of the land needed has
Eeen obtained. The Mayor calls atten-
tion to the danger which probably the
majority of the people were not aware
OF, that the fine prospect from the drive
way on the Eastern Promenade might
be INSTRUCTED by unsightly structures
built on land owned by AUDITORS. 10 q
large extent the Mayor has been able to
avert this by obtaining on favorable terms
much of this abutting land, but there is
still some that must he obtained before
the danger will be entirely gone. This
the Mayor is now endeaVoring to obtain
aud his previous success gives abundant
promise that he will not meet with dis
appointment.
Mayor Baxter's plans with reference
to our promenades and park system when
carried out will be Of very great value
to the city, increasing it's attractiveness
many fold. But their aesthetic claim to
favor is not their Only or their strongest
one. The proposed improvements in
Back Cove viii undoubtedly be promo
tive of the public health and comfort,
and will be- especially welcome to the
residents in the neighborhood Of that
spot Furthermore they cannot fail to
greatly enhance the value Of real estate
in that section of the city. From the
moment that he conceived the plan he
was kept steadily at work to develop
it, and the progress he has made shows
that it is not only feasible, but that thu
great benefits it will bring can be secured
at moderate cost and without impos-
ing heavy burdens upon our tag payers.

The Belfast sc appears to be alarmed
lest the Monroe doctrine will be includ.
ed in the arbitration treaty with Eng
lapd and thus England get the best end
of the bargain. Tbs same sort of fear
appears to be troubling others OF our es-
teemed contemporaries. There is just as
much reason to fear that the doctrine OF
the protective tariff or the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver may be includ-
Ell in the treaty. The Monroe doctrine
so-called, is policy which cur govern
ment has announced at various times
with more or less defniteness, it would
pursue in case any European power at
tempted aggression on this continent. II
is not pretended that thers is anything
in International law which gives us the
right to set up a guardianship over this
continent. 1t is not pretended that We
any other way. 1t is a policy assumed
by us because we have believed it neces'
sar. for self protection. There is no fact
in dispute here and hence nothing fol
arpiters to settle. Whether a certain acl
was in violation of the Monroe doctrine
might be subject for arbitration, but 6
foreign nation that would consent to
arbitrate that point would thereby con-
sent theoretically at least to. the valid
ity of the doctrine, and thus give it 6
standing in international law which we
can never give it ourselves by simply es.
pousing it, That is the way it got into
the Anglo Venezuelan case, and the re.
suit of that controversy has been pro.
claimed in both Europe and this country
as q triumph of the Monroe doctrine
simply for the reason thatsbecause of hel
yielding to our demand for arbitration
of the disputed territory she has seemed
indirectly to acknowledge that we had
the right to set up that doctrine.

in the Territorial Legislature of Okla
homa, in the passage of bill, which de-
olares all gold payment contracts to be
null and void. In view Of the wholesale
business, carried on in this Territory, In
ipyalidating marriage contracts it is
net surprising that gold or in fact any
other contract honestly entered into,
should be thus attacked. The bill has

KANSAS FARM.
The Kansas farm, near Hutchinson, is
in charge of Mr.. r. II. Read who ha
been with Mr.. Mills for over ten years.
This farm is run as sales place for
horses and cattle raised in New Mexico,
and also to raise hogs, which are shipped
alive to Springer, slaughtered and packed
at Home ranch, about 800 carcasses hav-
ing been cured last year, and sold with
other merchandise to employees and others.
In the summer season Mr.. Mills en-
ploys about 100 people, and in the winter
about SO; 100 horses are used in market
ing the fruit and vegetables.
At his residence the firm of Mills, Sea-
berg & Co., have their law office and one
of the largest law libraries in the terri
tory. The legal department is in charge
of his son-in law, Mr.. Hugo Seaberg. At
present Mr.. Mills is adding to the equip
ment Home ranch machinery for system
of water works to supply the headquar-
ters with steam heat and irrigation.
In addition to his ranches and law
business Mr.. Mills is largely interested in
coal and gold mining, which he carries
on by the aid of competent assistants.
Coming to New Mexico without capital,
and by sheer force of energy and per-
severance, Mr.. Mills has accomplished
these vast undertaking successfully, and If
he has been able to do this, why not
others? New Mexico today presents
more opportunities for achieving suc-
cess than it did in the past and young
men in the east would do we'll to consider
this territory as place for permanent
location before making their selection
for their life's work,

MEN OF THE LUNA FAMILY,
One Prime Minfster-AnOther Pope
Mt Rome.

Don Domingo de Luna, the founder OF
the we'll known Luna family, residing in
Valencia county, was a lineal descendant
of Don Alvaro de Luna, of Aragon,
Spain. Don Alvaro was nephew OF
Pedro de Luna, who for 20 years was
Pope under the name of Benedict the
Thirteenth.
This Don Alvaro was prime minister
and special favorite of King John the
second, of Aragon. After 30 years OF
faithful and arduous service, King John
with usual kingly gratitude ordered his
faithful servitor behesded on account OF
fancied misdoings.
Don Pedro de Luna, who for 29 years
occupied the papal throne at Rome as
the successor of Saint Peter, was a very
remarkable man. In 1417 strong effort
was made by a powerful faction OF
Roman and Italian mobiles and church
men to remove him and in fact his sue.
cessor was selected by the Council ol
Constance in the person of Cardinal
Colonna who commenced to exercise the
papal authority as Pope Martin the Fifth
Benedict the Thirteenth, Pedro de Luna
refused to recognize this action of the
Council Of Constance and taking up bis
residence at his castle of Peniscola defied,
for eight long years and in extreme ole
age, nearly ell the powers of Ohristendom
He continued to call himself Benedict the
Thirteenth and died at his castle O
Peniscola at the age of 80 years on th'
23d of May, 1423.
