AMERICA FIRST.

UNDER the above caption the Du-
range Democrat of last Tuesday
publishes an article from the pen of
Frank Hartman-if we mistake
not-that advances some excellent
ideas upon present conditions and
gives forecast of the future. Fol-
lowing is the article, which is we'll
worth reading:
How soon America will again be
at peace with all the world, is now
difficult for any student of a some
what complicated situation to say.
Peace in the near future is possible,
and continuation of war until the
children of today are grandparents,
is among the possibilities.
The Spanish Cuban war precipi-
tated situation which impelled the
American people to take the first
step which has ever been taken by
America to place herself upon war
footing as one Of the powers among
nations. This step will not have
been consummated by the termina.
ton of the war between America
and Spain, whatever shall be the
conditions of settlement (absolute
peace with Spain will never be real
ized) ard whether or not the pres
sent strained relations of America
to Germany will result ia serious
difficulties between the two coun-
tries, there cannot be peace for Amer
lea until the world shall know def
initely what shall be the future per-
manent relations Of England to
America. The attitude Of England
toward America since the latter In.
tcrvcned upon humanitarian
grounds, OH behalf of the Cuban
people, will not fail to be properly
considered by the sober sense Of
America, a country which has never
failed to prove gracious to Its friends.
The unfriendly attitude Of Ger
many toward America, has kindled

speckled beauties sport in their ma
tive element. A hundred sizes are
seen, from the tiny black speck up|
to the lordly fellow, who dashes
through the water like flash of
lightning. Acres are covered with
ponds and buildings, and the waters
are as clear as crystal and as pure
as the dew of the morning. 1t is a
magnificent colony of mountain
trout, and they multiply and -four
ish like the Jersey mosquito on its
native heath"
This is the same fish hatchery
which the Arapahoe gang fought
SO hard to knock out an appropria-
ton for, saying that its waters were
stagnent and moro adapted to killfish
than raise them. Still in the face
Of all their opposition to this hatch
cry, comes the above flattering par
agraph from the high and authentic
oracle of that same gang. But best
Of all, every word of the above is
true and each year the hatchery is
proving more beneficial to this sec
ton, and numerous fish are being
taken from it and placed in the
streams of the San Juan district.
Already this season several thous-
and have been placed in the Mancos
and Dolores rivers, to say nothing
of those put in other streams.
Arapahoe's gang is always doing
something detrimental to the state
and seems to have an especial
grudge against the San Juan coun-
try, probably because the members
of the Legislature from this section
have been most earnest in working
against the gang and in the inter-
ests Of their constituents.
Since the above was put in type
Mr.. w. r. Patrick, superintendent
Of the La Plata fish hatchery, pass

DELEGArEs for the various par
ties to the state conventions are be-
ing apportioned and in each case
Arapahoe county has almost as
many as the balance Of the counties
combined. OF course, in the eyes
of rhe ward heelers and politicians
of that county this is fair and just,
and all because they have been al
lowed TO control the state in the
past to their own personal interests.
But there is absolutely no justice
init. Arapahoe county has no more
right to hog everything in sight
than any other county. The proper
way would be to give every county
in the state two delegates, regard.
less Of population. Then candi.
dates would he selected with some
justice to the majority ofthe states
population. Arapahoe should not
be permitted to play the tune for
the balance of the state to dance by,
even If it does have the largest por.
ulation Of any county in the state.
Fairness and justice in politics are
unknown quantities, but 1t is not
impossible to obtain them. The
balance Of the state has had enough
Of Arapahoe's local fights and it is
time change was made.

Letter from Rev. ]. T. whIttem0re.

ON TIE WING, Sept. 6, 1898.
 FRIEND REPPY: After you left had soon to follow-appetite gone, stomach derauged, so go must to Los Angeles, Pasadena, San Diego, and now at Redlands for few days; but soon after this reaches you shall be at my post of duty, fully restored and ready for business.
 At San Diego was the guest of Oliver swingle, and right royalty entertained. Mir. Swingle and his noble wife have fine mansion and plenty of leisure, capacious carriage, and it is their delight to entertain their guests so as to give maximum of comfort and pleasure. Mir. Swingle took me to Coronado Beach and the great hotel, and to the pier, where we saw fish taken with rod and reel, from smelts to yellowtails, that weighed from IS to 25 pounds. One man got a shark five or six feet in length on his line, and it was exciting to see it sway the line and dart hither and yon, and no way of escape but to "cut the Gordian knot"-bite of the line, capture the hook and dart away.
 But I sat to tell you that letter from Mir. F. H. Newell, Chief Hydro grapher of the Department of the h. terior at Washington, informs me that the clause calling for $20, 900 passed in the Indian appropriation bill, and it was from this that the S700 was taken to construct road from the Buttes to the county road. The immediate ob- ject is to prepare the way for hauling the machinery for diamond drill and commence work soon, initiatory to the construction of the dam. MT. Newell expects in few weeks to be in Flor ence and hopes to have the machinery there and probably superintend it setting up. Further information vii be gained when he arrives.

[From Harper,s Neekly ]
You have no idea of whata transport

It is really hell On earth or rather or water Thank Heaven, the weather has been fine, and have slept on deck every night, not eveo go- ing below when 1t rained. never felt better in my life. and have come to the conclusion that I can stand anything. As have not been at all seasick, vol- unteered for the stable police, who have to clean up belowdecks where the horses are. If you could put all the terrible smells in the world together, you would get some good idea of what it is. We can only stand it for about half an hour Ut time, and then have to take spell on deck to recover. If we had storm 1 am afraid it would go hard with some of the lads, as good many are seasick now. The food is fierce, and we only have condensed steam to drink, which is almost hot !; but still seem to thrive upon it. Every morning we get up at five, and form line in our birthday" suits and have a great hose played on us. Then we have breakfast, and after that comes target practice at boxes over the stern. l am so sunburnt that you would not know me, and, as said before, feel out of sight. The hardest time we ever had was the day before we started; the loading up was simply awful, and was so tired that I just lay down on bale of hay and went to sleep. The horses have stood the trip very we'll, and don't think we will lose single one.
 l I tell you that transport was as near hell as any place could be. We were on fire three times in two days, and had hardtack and rotten coffee to eat and @ little dirty water to drink. I cannot imagine what it would have been if there had been a storm. We had beautiful weather, and most of us slept on deck every night. We came ashore this morning, and we got the first square meal in week.
