,I0HN 6, CLARK,

The fact that, in the near future, q
change is TO be made in the personnel of
the officers of the territorial penitentary
and q new superintendent appointed, has
brought forth editorial comments from
the press of New Mexico and numerous
recommendation and suggestions as to
whom should be appointed. We have re-
Trained from indorsing any person for
this position, preferring to wait and as
certain who among those mentioned was
most competent and who was wanted by
the people.
We feel at liberty now to express our
opinion and indorse for the position OF
penitentiary uperintendent, Hon John s
Clark of Las Vegas. He has practically
the unanimous Endorsement of the terri
torial press, as we'll as that of large
number of prominent citizens of New
Mexico, with whom we have correspondent
in regard to this matter.
Mr.. CLARK is Republican, not wishy-
washy one, but stslwart one of the kind
that fights the battles of the party in sea-
son and out, and, whether defeated of vic
torious, his ardor is not colored. he
ssstands up and takes his medicine" with
out complaint. AS a Republican, ne ls
deserving of the place.
As man, naught can be said against
him truthfully. Lying, mudthrowing
newspapers, journals that have neither
respect..for themselves nor anyone else,
find plenty to say against spotless
character, and any attack on Mr.. CLARK
must emanate from such source.
His appointment will assure business
administration in penitentiary affairs He
will lift it from the mire into which it has
been cast and place it on the pinnacle OF
discipline and order. He will protect the
interests of the taxpayer and abolish the
''ringster, rooster and rascal" rule that
has prevailed since the induction into
office of the present oficials.-Dona Ana
County Republican.

shall have selected his claim, he shall post
a notice of location and tender the owner
of the land 81 so an acre for his interest,
and if this is not accepted he shall pro-
coed to condemn the land as though it
were for railroad purposes; thus arbitrar-
lily taking private property, for private
use, without adeq nate compensation or due
process of law in violation of every recog-
nized principle of the laws of property.
Even the price fixed for the "explorer"
under this act to acquire title, is utterly
out of proportion to the amount now re-
quired to obtain title from the United
States government. Claims cannot ex-
coed 20 acres except for placers. Be-
fore application for patent can be
made at least $500 worth of work
must have been done on the mine. The
fees to the surveyor general, land office,
surveyor and printing amount to 5000
more, and then the government must be
paid SIS per acre or 800, making under
the present mining laws $500 the lowest
price for which 20-acre mining lode
can be cquired, exclusive of attorneys
fees, while this bill provides that the
grant owner shall only receive $50 for a
similar claim.
There is no doubt but what congress
should pass an act such as was contem-
plated in section 10 above referred to in
the act establishing the court of private
land claims, providing for the working
of mines of the precious metals existing
and known to exist at the time of the
confirmation by that court, which would
protect the owner of the property while
encouraging the developing of its
minerals. But the present bill does
neither, as it simply Licenses lawless in
vasion of private property and rights by
irresponsible persons with no restriction
upon their acts, no provision for their
developing the mineral after it is dis
covered, and absolutely no protection or
compensation to the grant owner in the
title which he has acquired by the act of
congress itself.

JAPAN'S EXPERIENCE OF OTHERS.

1t is not long ago since little Japan in
creased the size of its hatband by several
cubits, all because it was able to mop the
earth with big, overgrown and barbarous
China. Since that time nearly unto this
present, Japan has been enjoying the
placid pipe dream of ability to whip any
first-olass power in the world, America
rather preferred.
1t was this delusion which led our gen.
ial ia panese friends to think themselves
able to take the Hawaiian islands away
from us. To slight extent they seem to
have recovered from that mistake, and
it is not our present intention to refer to
the matter in any invidious way. Never
theless, we believe that good oppor-
tunity presents to remind them that, in
stead of looking with the eye of greed and
kleptomania Oh the islands of other peo-
pie, they would do we'll to consider very
earnestly how they are going to keep at
least one island which already they have
in possession more or less complete
With much point and some grief, on their
account, we refer to the island Of For
mosa, which they took from the Brother
of the Sun, and which promises to slip
away from them into the keeping of the
kaiser, if we are not much misinformed.
II seems probable that before long
Germany will have to evacuate the harbor
of Kiao Chou, on the Yellow Sea, together
with the contiguous territory recently
seized. This is the demand of Russia,
whose frst-mortgage lien upon the same
property recently has been disclosed.
But the czar is not inclined TO be press
ingly hard upon his brother emperor, and
will let him take in the inlet of Sam Sab,
in the province of Fo-Kien. There is
little occasion to doubt that most, if not
all of Fo-Kien will 60 as chrome with
the purchase; but that is not the interest,"
ing point just now. Sam-Sah inlet is
just across the strait from Formosa.
France has been credited with imminent
designs upon Sam-Sah, Fo-Kien and
finally upon Formosa itself. japan, TAX
ing fright at what appeared to be go
ing on in the French interest, recently
concentrated $4,000 troops on the island.
France seems to be out of the running, 80
those troops will do just as we'll against
Germany. What the French republic may
think about the matter Is beside the pres
ent question. What Japan expects or
| fears from the situation is more to the
point. Formosa is rich in petroleum,
dyewoods, camphor and other valuable
indigenous products, and the kaiser is
not bit too good to take it if the czar
will let him. Allowing German occupa-
ton of Sam Sab looks painfully as if he
would.
This is why we repeat the friendly adj
monition to japan that it would be much
better to prepare for holding the islands
she has than to 60 around the world seek
ing to gobble those which she has not,
and especially-as in the case of Hawaii
territory more than generation ago
pre-empted by America.
