In the Eyes Of Europe.

About six weeks ago in many
parts of Europe the United States
was a laughing stock. Americans
were regarded as a nation of cowardly
shopmen whom Spain would deliberate
at a Whit. The American navy was re-
ferred to as a lot of worthless old tubs
manned by incompetent seamen, and
unfit for consideration in sea warfare.
The gallant Spanish army, which fought
for honor and conquest, would devour
the timid little blue-bellied Yankee
soldiers at a meal and the spoils of vic
tory would be divided among the greedy
monarchial wolves.
When the Viscaya entered New York
harbor foreign newspapers pictured the
tr~epidation of the government and a
plan of leveling the great metropolis and
landing a detachment of seamen that
would sweep the American army back
into the mountains, was referred to with
a confidence that was laughable.
Too craven to avenge the ruthless
slaughter of American seamen, too SER
| vile to resent an insult offered the presi-
dent by a Spanish ministerial boor, and
too %cowardly to respond to the taunts
of foreign foes, in the eyes of Europe,
the United States stood alone and
friendless, heaped with the odium OF
abuse and disgrace.
But, presto, change! The timid peace
loving, domesticated nation, after ex-
hausting the expansive realms of di-
plomacy, developed into q raging terror
whose thunderous voice shook the
foundations of the world and caused dy-
nasties to tremble like reeds shaken by
the wind. The barbed darts Of ana
thema were cast contemptuously aside,
the notes of foreign powers scorned,
and monarchial governments forced to
show respect or fear toward the grand
est government that the sun ever shone
upon. The vindication OF Americas
wrongs and the avenging of murdered
seamen fell like a thunder clap on Spain
| and crushed it's clustering and bluffing.
From a sixth-rate nation in Euro
pean estimation the United States has
risen to the second naval power OF the
world, and is getting to be one of the
greatest military nations out of doors. II
demands and commands the deepest re-
spect and will make and enforce laws
for all nations,

A Virain Section Of New Mexico Opened Up.

The New MEXICAN on yesterday pub
lished the good news of the commence
ment of the grading on the Sacramento
& Alamogordo railroad in eastern
Dona Ana county. This branch road
will open up n of the finest and most
productive sections of the territory to
settlement and agricultural pursuits.
There are about 200, 900 acres of splen-
did land in the Sacramentos, open to
settlement under the United States
homestead laws; upon much of this land
fine crops of potatoes, wheat, oats, bar
ley, cabbage, beets, onions, ETC., a be
raised without irrigation. The timber
of this great mountain range
are reported as very superior and ex-
tensive. Its agricultural and stock
raising possibilities are very great. The
promoters of this enterprise, Messrs. c.
b. Eddy, John A. Eddy, W. A. Hawkins
| and their associates, are too well known
in the territory to need any comment.
Their record shows, that what they un
dertake, they perform and carry out to
a successful end.
Within three years, owing to the con
struction and operation of the Ell Past
& Northeastern railway and the Sacra
mento &c Alamogordo railroad and thu
influx of population that will b.
brought about by these two roads, east
ern Dona Ana county will contain
large population Of prosperous farmers
stockmen and merchants and many wei
paying farms and stock ranches, II
addition to giving hundreds of mel
steady and remunerative employment
in the development and manufacture o
northumberland from its vast tim
Der resources, to say nothing of its valu'
able mineral deposits.
The principal town Of that section vii
be A%lamogordo at the junction Of thu
Ell Paso & Northeastern and the Sacra
mento & Alamogordo railroads. Within

The New Postmaster at Roswell Suits.

The Roswell Record is a very good
paper and a very strong Democratic
paper: indeed it is n of the best Demo-
cratic weekly papers in the southwest
Hence the following from its columns
on the appointment of J. B. Mathews
as postmaster at Roswell is all the more
complimentary and significant:
"When the news came last Friday
evening that President Mckinley had
sent the name of j.. B. Mathews to the
senate for confirmation as postmaster
for Roswell, our people breathed freely
once more. Former appointments made
by the president for this section have
not been of the kind to inspire our peo-
pie with the belief that the president
cared much for the wishes OF our peo-
pie, and as he had a chance to repeat
the former doses, in making a selection
for postofice, our people were naturally
I on the anxious seat until the appoint.
| ment was made. Several other good
men in Roswell were applicants for the
place and the appointment of either
would not have been distasteful to the
patrons of the office; but there were
others. In appointing Billy Mathews
for the place, President Mckinley has
given our people a man who is both
efficient and popular. We feel that the
president deserves a vote OF thanks
from our people in this matter. Billy
will, beyond question, be confirmed,
and will probably take hold about the
first of June. He will enter upon his
duties with the good wishes of almost
the entire community, including those
of everyone of the other applicants for
the place who would have been in any
degree satisfactory to the people.

A GOO many of the vacancies of lieu
tenants in the regular army are to be
filed by promotions from the enlisted
men who pass the prescribed examina-
tons successfully. This is proper and
a step in the right direction. Non-com-
missioned officers and p~rivates, who have
had a military training in the ranks for
a few years and have the other neces-
sary qualifications, will make better
commissioned officers than young fellows
from civil life put into the places OF
commissioned officers, because they have

The peace at any price people make
one tired. They should subside. The
time for the display of weeping emotions
and uncomfortable tenderness and sym
pathy has passed. The nation is at war;
the citizens who are patriots and love
their country will take q stern satisfac-
ton in seeing the war prosecuted prompt
ly, energetically and to the bitter end.
If they are not patriots, they had better
wind up their national existence and go
into the hands of a European receiver.
The time Of peace Is gone. We may
hope for its return, but the only way to
hasten its return is to fight and fight
hard. This nation is in this fight, now
let 1t bear itself in such a manner that
the opposer will beware of it for a few
centuries to come.

the banks of the great metropolis hold a
surplus of $47, O00, 900, the largest since
July 1897. The improbability Of a bond
issue has caused the banks to look else
where for investments, and the tenden-

nerative inducements are being looked
