Going to have war, aren't we?
Not much, if any; in TACT, not any.
All this buster will be utilized by the mil
lionaires and corporations to enlarge the navy
and army for personal profit and personal pro-
lection.
For years there has been sentiment grow
ing for large standing army, just such thing
as Jefferson said was menace to liberty, and
as the ranks of mllionaires increase, this senti-
ment increases.
This little spat with Spain may secure Cuban

Last week the Topeka Capital said that the
Mckinley administration saved 81 900, 900 TO
the government in the sale of the Union Pacific
road. Now it prints a story to tie effect that
If Senator Harris hadn't been refused pass the
reorganization company could have bought it
$4,000. 900 cheaper. The fact is, then, that
Mckinley isn't responsible for the saving, and
Harris is. Republican, papers will occasional
ly tell the truth, not for truths sake, but for
the sake of smirching an opponents record.
THE Topeka Capital uses column to con-
vince itself that the Cuban resolution in the
VI. i~ouiS pldlIOll lHCdHl Ouly that NlChlIllty
should tender his ''good Offices and, if these
were rejected, fold his hands and quit. The
fact is that they meant nothing OF the kind.
They were intended to mean, and accepted as
meaning, that the Republican party was in ia
vor of at once recognizing Cuban belligerancy
and precipitating war if necessary to accom-
plsh Cuban independence. The fact is that
we were guilty, i'll that platform, of bad piece
of jingolsm, which Mckinley had had the good
sense to ignore, and we might as we'll "fess
up" Impusiveness is the Yankees greatest
fault, and trying to lie out of it instead of
frankly saying we were wrong seems likely to
become the Kansas plan, without regard to pol

THE postal deficit is troubling the rulers.
They propose to make it pay its way. would
like to renlint. them that the army costs mil
lions, and does not pay its way; the revenue
from the navy does not cover the expense; the
receipts of the public schools do not cover the
expense; the money that is expended on the
nublic roads is total deficit. How would it
do to cut off these things, as they are loss?
They had better spend money on the postal
system than on the army or navy, for they are
no good while the whole people get some good
out of the postal system But the rulers do not
want the people to have information easily.
They are more easily controlled by keeping
them in ignorance. See!-Peoples' Party

PUT THE SHOE ON T'OTHER FOOT.

The Populists, say, VINO are willing to go
outside of their party and nominate as their
candidate one who has been nominated by the
Democratic party showed moral courage and
an earnestness which makes them more useful
as allies than those who left us i'll the last cam
paien because they were not willing to face the
issue then raised.-Wm. J. Bryan.
Now put the shoe on the other foot. The
Democrats who are willing to GO outside of
their party and nominate as their candidate one
who has been nominated by the Populist party
will show moral courage and an earnestness
which makes them more useful as allies than
those who declare that if the Pops don't give
them what they want they won't 60 with us;
or those who say they are i'll favor of fusion
where the Democrats are not strong enough to
defeat the Republicans alone, but opposed to
fusion whe1e the Democrats have safe ma
jority.
The only "fusion' that will be of lasting
benefit to the people of this country is this:
Let Democrats, Populsts, Free Silver Republi-
cans, etc., forget party ties and all get together
under one banner, and under an entirely new
party name. A reformer-be he Democrat,
Populist or Silver Republican-who is not will
ing to lay aside his party name for the good of
the people is, in our opinion, very poor sort
of reformer.

INSURANCE COMMISSIONER MCNALL refuses
to let up on the insurance companies that will
not comply with the law. He has served no
tice on several companies that they must obey
the antitrust law or cease to do business in the
state. The companies have pooled rates and
shut off competition. Mr.. McNall has dis
covered that these companies have employed
Car Reed as referee, at salary of $4,000 per
year. and if an agent is caught cutting rates,
or in any way reducing the rate set by these
companies, even by throwing off part of his
commission, he is brought up standing before
the Car, and if found guilty, is not allowed to
work for any of the companies in the pool for
one year. In other words, Reed, the head of
the lower house of congress, is a law-violator,

THE United States supreme court has dccid-
ed that the maximum freight-rate law is uncon-
stitutional. This moves Governor Leedy to
wrath, and he denounces the supreme court in
unmeasured terms. His rebuke of these tools
of plutocracy is we'll merted. AS times move
by, the people are learning more thoroughly
that the people have no rights that the corpora
tions are bound to respect, and that where cor
porations are concerned, the rights granted the
people by the constitution are trampled under
foot An investigation will prove that each
one of those judges owns railroad stock. Is it
not likely that they will protect these interests?
Think about it,
QUEEN VICTORIA compliments Mckinley on
his attitude toward Spain. She says war should
be avoided, because it would jeopardize the
commercial interests between Great Britain and
the United States. In other words, British
capitalists have so much money invested in this
country that THEIR interests would be jeopar-
died. Mckinley may be relied upon to look
after the interests of the capitalists and bond
holders of England and this country. Poor

Rates to New Mexico.
Denver News

'SN "
For many years Denver has been shut
out of New Mexico, which is a portion
of her natural trade territory, on account
of the rates on the Santa Fe. The pol
icy of the company was to encourage
shipments from Kansas City, Chicago
and st. Louis, because on them the COM
pany got a longer haul. The company
has no antagonism to Denver as a dis
tributing center, but its interests were
naturally in favor of promoting trade
from points which would yield it a larger
revenue on the business. just as all in
dividual would have done, the corpora
ton pursued the policy by which the
most money "a made.
Recent conferences between Commits
| sioner Hahn, of the Denver freight
bureau, and General Freight Agent Gay,
of the Santa Fe, have resulted in a re-
adjustment of the rates from Denver to
all points in New Mexico reached by the
Santa Fe system, by which Denver mer-
chants and manufacturers will be able
to reach that territory. This is an i'm
portant concession that will be appre-
ciated by the business public. 1t will
put Denver in closer touch with such
points as Ration, Las Vegas, Albuquer-
que and Ell Paso, not to mention points
on the Santa Fe-Paciic in Arizona.
This is a large and growing trade area
and its opening to Denver ought to have
an immediate effect on the wholesale
trade of this city. The concession is a
just n on the part of the Santa Fe, for
in aiding to build up Denver as the great
distributing point of the Rocky moun
tain country the company will also in
crease its claims on the traffic between
Denver and the east.

The following promotions of clerks i II
the Treasury department, credited to
New Mexico, are reported:
Edward Webster, ST., 400 to 81, 900; j.
B. Carter, 81, 200 TO 81, POO; Nathaniel
NJ. Abrose. 81, 800 to $4,000"
1t is not exactly clear who these
gentlemen are and it is not believed they
were ever bona iide residents of the ter
tory, but as they are credited to the ter
ritory and as there is no way to right
such matters, a kick will not be of very
great avail, but the kick is made and
registered anyway. The federal offices
and clerkships in New Mexico and those
to which New Mexico is entitled in the
departments at Washington should go
to actual and bona tide residents of the
territory. Such is the intention of the
law, and equity and justice so demand.

Cuban and Porto Rican Trade.

The letters which have come from
Santiago, written by the men in the
army of occupation, all speak in praise
of Cuba and its possibilities as a land of
homes and money making, provided
| there was some form of government
established that would protect life and
property. That a stable government will
o be established is evidenced that in
the reported conditions upon which
Spain can cur peace is the abandon
ment of sovereignty over the island with
a provision that Cuba shall be absolved
from all debts heretofore charged
against it by the Madrid government.
What the form of government will be
has not yet been decided upon, but it
| will probably RESULT in annexation to the
| United States. However, a good gov
| eminent will be formed and maintained,
and the commercial future of the island
| will be assured. The same conditions
| apply to Puerto Rico, which is nov vir-
tually in the hands of the United States.
Feeling that it is only a matter of a
| short time when Cuba and Puerto Rico
will be controlled by this government,
merchants and ship II in the east
are making active preparations for the
| revival of trade with the West Indies
| which must follow the establishment of
peace on the two principal islands of the
group. These two islands have bought
as much as $25, 900. 900 worth of goods
in a single year from the United States
and they have sent as much as $50, 900,
900 worth of merchandise to this coun-
try in IL months. Under favorable m
ditions this trade will be much larger
and more certain.
The feature of this business which in
terests the masses of the American peo-
pie at the present is not the profits it
will yield the men engaged in it., but
| the relief of the unfortunate Cubans
and Puerto Ricans that is involved in
the revival of trade. Food. clothing
aud other supplies will be loaded on YES
sells and held in readiness to sail to Gu
ban and Puerto Rican ports as fast as
they are opened to the reception of YES
sells, and the rapidity with which nor
NAL conditions of trade will be restored
will be an interesting exhibition of the
enterprise of American merchants and
shipping firms.
The Americans share in this trans
| formation will be not alone the ship
ment of needed supplies, but many clti-
zens of this country will take an active
part in reviving the productive indus
tries of the islands. The experience at
Santiago will be of great assistance in
restoring normal conditions in the next
port opened to trade, and the task will
become less difficult with every advance
made by American arms.

W. n. n. Llswsllyn For Delegate
albuquerque Citizen.)

A number of Republicans suggest the
name of Captain W. H. H. Llewellyn, of
the gallant Trough Riders" as the Re-
publican nominee for delegate to con-
gress. The party would make no mis-
take in nominating Captain Llewellyn.
He is admirably qualified for the posi-
ton, being q man of experience and in
telligence. His war record is magnif-
cent. Captain Llewellyn is a personal
friend of President Mckinley, Senator
Allison and other Republican leaders,
and in congress could be of immense
benefit to the territory. The war with
Spain Is practically over, and the GAL
liant Rough Riders will no doubt soon
be home, which would permit the can
didacy of Captain Llewellyn. Southern
New Mexico has never had a delegate to
congress and would no doubt roll up a
big majority for Captain Llewellyn. II
Bernalillo county does not present .
Republican candidate for delegate, the
Citizen knows non 1t would sooner help
elect than the gallant Rough Rider
captain, W. II. II. LleweIlyn.
