siSt that its soldiers must be sacrificed
for no other purpose than to keep a
pusilanimous ministry in power.
We cannot expect Spain to submit to
the guidance of custom or to yield to
the impulse of humanity. 1t is at San
tiago, not at Madrid, that Spaniards are
being shot, and the Spaniards at Madrid
are in control. They have talked much
of fighting to the last, of continuing
their heroic resistance so long as a Span
lard remains on Cuban soil. and all that
sort of thing. The worst of it is they
are capable of being as foolish as they
talk. We a put no great reliance,
therefore. on reports impnting to them
IN intention to sue for peace at once,
although the hard treatment we have
given them may have put them in a
peace-making and therefore un-SpaniSh
frame of mind. Something may be eX-
pected from the influences of the powers
upon the Madrid government. OF that
we shall know only by its effects, forthe
worthless press of the continent gives
us no true notion of what either the
government or the people desire. We
can only strike and wait. There is
more pacific virtue, we fear. in our
shells than in the wisdom of the Spanish
government.

Peace Talk.

1t has been officially announced from
Washington that Spain has not made any
overtures for peace, but the constant
rumors coming from different quarters
all indicate that this government must
hold itself in readiness to receive
SPANS advances in the proper way.
The time is over ripe for some intima-
tion from Spain that she wishes to make
peace when the progress of a war has
demonstrated the decisive superiority
of one of the belligerents and has made
the defeat of the other an absolute GER
tainty; honor and custom permit and
humanity constrains the inferior power
to inquire what terms will be offered or
itself to offer terms. Every kind of
honor but Spanish honor is satisfied by
such a demonstration, and hardly any
civilized nation, except Spain, would in

The Hawaiian Commission.

In appointing the commission to pre-
the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands,
President Mckinley certainly used good
Judgment. The names of the commits
sioners are known to nearly every Ameri-
can and are a guarantee that the work
will be well done.
senator Cullom, of Illinois. is one of
the most conservative and careful men
in the senate, and during a long public
life has shown himself to be worthy of
any trust imposed upon him. Senator
Morgan. of Alabama, is a thorough
American and believes in the doctrine
taught by the stars and stripes. At
times he is inclined to be impetuouS,
but his standing as a lawyer, his knowl-
edge of international law, and his de-
sire to do that which is best for his
country fit him for the position in a
superlative degree. Congressman Hit,
of Illinois, has been Il member of the
lower house since 1882 and is chairman
of the house committee on foreign af-
fairs. His knowledge of the relations
of the United States with foreign pow
ers will not come amiss on the commits
sion. The two members of the commits
sion from Hawaii are President Sanford
Dole and Hon. w. +. Frear, two of the
most prominent men of the Pacific is
lands, who will guard the interests of
the islands with a jealous eye.
The admission of the Hawaiian islands
into the Union as a territory will be a
radical departure from the traditions OF
the government, which the opposition
lists laid so much stress upon, but in q
short time the country will have forgot
ten that new territories has been added
to Uncle Sans domains. Under an
American form of government the is.
lands will make wonderful strides in
prosperity and development, and the
betterment of conditions will soon rec
oncile what few m%alcontents there may
be among the inhabitants at the present
time to the change.

Where Public Funds Go.

The following from the Las Vegas
Optic is rather instructive:
"E. c. de Baca and VIM Stapp, mem
bers of the auditing committee appoint
ed by the board of county commissioners
some months ago to examine the ac-
counts of eX-Collector Carlos Gabaldon,
made their report to the board yester-
day. The total amount of shortage re-
ported by this committee was $11, 1856. So.
Something over $4,000 occurred during
his first term of office, and the remainder
of about 81 900 during the two months
of his second term up to the time Felix
Martinez took charge Of the office. 1t
is very likely that the bondsmen will
soon be called on by the board to make
good the shortage due the county and
territory
Why this maj has not been brought
to justice is a serious question. Whether
he will be punished for his embezzle-
ment and malfeasance in office is also a
serious question.
In this connection 1t is we'll to remind
the tax payers of this county, that while
the late Frank Chaves was collector he
was short fully 100000 of public funds
collected. Upon the discovery of this
shortage, suit was instituted by Solicitor
General Bartlett for the recovery of the
amounts embezzled. In some of these
suits Judgment against Chaves' bonds
men was obtained on behalf of the ter
ritory; in others the county was beaten
and lost, as the statute of limitations
was invoked by the bondsmen. Other
cases by the county are still pending.
Solicitor General Bartlett is pushing the
cases, the New MEXICAN is informed,
and it is to be hoped that the county
treasury and the territorial treasury will
be reimbursed to some extent.
1t is charged, and there is good reason
to believe that the charges are true,
that under the regime of the Demo-
cratic collector and sheriff during 1893
and 1894, in this county, many tax col
lections were not properly and honestly
accounted for. This has not been fully
established, as no examination of the
collectors books for those years has
been made.
1t is also charged that in other coun-
ties in the territory q similar condition
of affairs has existed and very likely ex-
lists at this writing.
These conditions, in part, will account
for the de%plorable state of the finances
of some of the counties and also of the
territory. And what is more. the thing
is going from bad to worse.
There seems to be but one remedy and
that is federal legislation, that will CON-
pei county assessors, collectors and
boards of commissioners under penalty.
prescribed by congress, to assess and
levy taxes honestly and Justly, collect
them fairly and energetically, pay them
over to the proper treasures as they
should be paid and administer the rev.
enue laws as they should be admins
tered. This seems the only adequate
remedy and many good and public spir-
tied citizens of the territory desire it
applied.

A Cynical View of the University Of
New Mexico.
(Lordsburg Liberal.)

The Liberal has received a copy of the
annual catalogue Of the University of
New Mexico at Albuquerque. The pub
LEGATION is a very imposing one, and to
Judge by it's appearance the University
of New Mexico is one of the institutions
of the land. 1t employs a faculty of 20
members. whose business it is to turn
out college or university graduates.
The course of study is an elaborate one,
and when Il student has absorbed it he
should of verify be Il we'll educated per-
son. On turning to the list of students
it is found that the University of New
Mexico has one. He is a freshman, and
if he keeps up his lick, and does not get
too lonesome the University of New
Mexico in about three years will be able
to say that it has graduated a student.

ON THE RANCH.
What New Mexico Is Doing Along This
Line,

The wheat harvest is on at Mesilla.
Wheat, oats and barley are doing fine
on Johnson'S mesa lei Ration.
The Dawson & Dane ranches near
Ration are favorite resorts for health
seekers.
The United States exported more than
$500, 000, 900 worth of agricultural prod
ucts last year.
All classes of crops in the Olio and
Fruitland valleys, San Juan county, are
doing exceptionally well.
The rains of the past month have
been beneficial to crops around Catskill,
and a bOuntiful harvest is assured. ,
Farmers should give more attention
to increasing the yield of crops per acre
and less to accommodating acreage.
In the Sacramento mountains crops
are successfully grown without irriga-
ton, the rainfall being amply sulti-
cient.
Grass and crops around Martinez. Col
fax county, are in good condition and
the year will be a prosperous one for
that region.
Milk from cows fed on beet pulp will
make twice as much butter as that from
milk taken from cows given other feed.
The milk production is also increased.
Professor Felix FoeX, of Eddy, is at
Hacienda de Noe, Estado de Durango,
Mexico, experimenting and %instructing
in sugar beet growing. He will plant
an experimental tract, and if success
full, a factory will be erected.
To treat seed potatoes for scab or
other diseases, immerse them in a mix
ture of eight ounces of formalin and Is
gallons of water, soaking the seed two
hours. Remove the potatoes and cut
them, first disinfecting the hands and
knife.
John Hartley, of Cerrillos, states that
when he acquired his little ranch east
of that place three years ago, he had but
S45. Now he has a fine growing orchard
of 1876 trees which are just beginning to
bear. For irrigation he conveys water
through pipes from springs. He also
raises all kinds of vegetables on his little
tract, from which he will realize a com
potency.
