Territorial Legislatures to Be Prohibited
from Creating New Counties.

Mr.. Knox, the chairman of the house
committee on territories, has introduced
the following bill:
Be it enacted by the senate and house
of representatives of the United States
of America In congress assembled, that
hereafter the legislatures Of the terri
tories of the United States shall not
create new counties in said territories
by special act; and hereafter all acts of
said legislatures authorizing the organ
izatlon Of new counties by special act
shall be null and void.
Sec. 2. That the legislatures Of said
territories may enact general laws, APP
plying to all parts of the territory and
to all cases alike, providing for the Or
ganization of new counties and prescrib-
ing the conditions under which the new
counties may be organized, such general
laws on this subject to have no force or
effect until they have been approved by
congress. But in no case shall a new
county be formed out of the territory
of any other county or counties when
the debt of such existing county or
counties amounts to more than 3 per
centum of the valuation of the taxable
property of such county or counties, as
shown by the assessment roll of such
county or counties for the year last
preceding the time when it is proposed
to form a new county out of the terri
tory of such existing counties; and the
organization Of any new county in
violation Of this section shall be null and
void.

in conflict with the preceding sections

THE Republicans of Albuquerque have
about concluded to nominate Mr.. Frank
W. Clancy as a candidate for mayor at
the coming city election. A most ex-
cellent selection and one, ii carried out,
that will bring the party many votes.
In this connection, it is we'll to remind
the Republicans Of this city to be up
and doing and to look about for good
and competent men for the nominations
for mayor and councilmen at the COM
ing city elections. The taxes paid for
the maintenance OF the government Of
the city should be judiciously and care
fully handled and should be managed
from a business standpoint. The city
should BIS well lighted, should have a
good water supply, should be kept clean,
the streets %sprinkled and sidewalks re-
paired. With the right kind of a mayor
and good councilmen these objects can
be obtained. Taxpayers and property
owners should be placed in control of
city affairs. A clean and orderly con-
dition of this city would be a great ad-
vertisement and attract tourists. Hence
self-interest, if nothing else, demands
an efficient city government and all
good citizens should take deep interest
in city affairs.

SUGAR BEET FARMS.
Better Investment Than a Wisconsin Dairy
Farm or a Wheat Ranch in
Kansas.

A very excellent argument in the
Chronicle, of San Francisco, says: ''If
a man owns a fertile acreage of beet
land lear a sugar factory, it is a better
thing year in and year out than q Wis
consin dairy farm or a wheat ranch in
Kansas. His chance Is like that of the
truck farmer near the big cities, who is
prosperous because he gets quick sales"
This has been the experience Of owners
of land in the neighborhood of the Ne
braska, the Utah and the California fac
tories, and this is the prospect now Of
fering to Pecos valley farmers. This
season will demonstrate In a very con-
vincing way that the man who has land
$ o situated that he can produce a crop
Of beets and put them into the factory
in Eddy without delay has a basis for
his farming operations not enjoyed by
sections knowing nothing Of the beet in
dustry. And lands on which such u
crop can be produced, and in q position
from which 1t can be expeditiously mar
keted, are the lands which are now be-
ing offered as an inducement for pro-
gressive and intelligent farmers to come
into this section and make homes.-Ed-
dy Argus.

Mr.. BRYAN, Chairman Jones, Chair
man Butler, Chairman Towne and the
rest of the Popocratic leaders, speakers
and chairmen like to hear themselves
talk, and being fond of their talk and
having nothing much better to talk
about, give the people a great deal OF
slush about the alleged scarcity OF
money, said to have been brought about
by the 'crime OF 49," and that the VI
try through the aforesaid crime has
been deprived OF a large part of its cir
culating medium. But the facts are,
that there has been q great and steady
increase in the amount of money in the
country-an increase considerably great
er than the increase in population. In
September, 1897, the total stock OF
money in the United States was 81, 510,-
495, 2sS; this is twice as much as in Sep
TENDER, 1880, when the amount was ST.
26S, $40, 912. Here is an increase of al
most $7O, 900, 900 a year, while the popu-
lation increased less than 100000 a
year. The amount OF money IN the II
years has increased by 100 per cent,
while the population has increased by
only 46 per cent.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

At a certain age every girl gets an idea
that it is cultured to rave over cut glass.
When you tease a woman, she will al
ways smile as if she enjoyed 1t till you get
near enough to reach. A cat acts the same
way.
AS soon as a man begins to be sorry he
got married he begins to try to trap his
wife into admitting it.
The best points in a story are the mes
you think you would have put in II you
had told it instead of the other man.
The easiest way to make a bitter enemy
Of a man is to tell him a good story and
then get 1t off at a dinner before he has a
chance to.
Every woman thinks she can make a
man happy, and every man thinks he can
fix the drawer in the kitchen table SO it
won't stick.
When a girl can't buy a piece Of ribbon
without wondering whether a certain man
will like 1t, 1T is time for her to begin ia
wear things she knows he hates New

European Nations Deceived.

The rumors of a war between the
United States and Spain have given rise
to considerable speculation among for
eign nations as to the possible strength
Of this country in the way of troops.
An article which appeared in the cur
rent number of a prominent magazine
on the subject gives an idea of the err
roneous impressions which prevail in
other countries concerning the armies
and available men in the United States.
AS a matter of course 1t is known that
the standing army consists of about 49,
900 enlisted men, and the prevailing
opinion is that that number represents
all the trained men there are in the
country. So far as the National Guard
is concerned, the officers OF the
great armies Of Europe look upon it as
a mob Of raw recruits, devoid of disci-
pline and utterly unavailable for actual
service. Basing their calculations on
this theory, foreign governments have
come to regard the United States as a
'fourth class power" and imagine that
before an army Of any size fitted for
service could be raised and sent to the
front, a small force of trained European
troops could place this country hors de
combat.
The fact of the matter is, Europeans
do not begin to understand the charac-
ter and intelligence of the masses of the
American people. Naturally s~elf-rc-
liant, accustomed to responsibilities and
possessed Of inherent capabilities, there
are hundreds of thousands of men in
the country who are anxious to take
the field in case Of war, fully equipped
to make soldiers with little or no drill
ing. OF course they would not make
much of a display on dress parade, but
give them arms and accouterments,
place them in a field and tell them to
hold it against a contending force, and
they will not only take care Of them
selves, but carry out the orders without
any great amount of offering. A class
of men OF this kind is almost unknown
In European armies, and, not under
standing the real situation, foreign q
tions are deceived in the actual fighting
strength of this country.
Perhaps, should war be declared, the
rapidity with which the United States
will send large fighting forces to the
front will change the estimate Of our
European cousins Of the yankees" and
result In less %bulldozlng on their part in
the future.

THE pet assertion of the free traders,
that a reduction in tariff rates stimu-
lates trade with foreign countries Is not
borne out by the facts. A mere reduc-
ton of the tariff never won this country
a dollars worth of foreign trade, and,
what Is more, it eve will. The idea
that it can is the thinnest kind of hum
bug. Our foreign commerce reached
the very highest figures in IL history
right in the stitfest period of the Nc
Kinley law, and now that the disastrous
tariff reform" experiment of German
Wisconsin is abandoned, ard we have
another vigorous protective act, what
do we find? Why, that we are selling
more of our cheap agricultural prod
ucts and specialized Yankee manufac-
lures to foreign purchasers than ever.

The importations of gold in large
quantities from abroad mean that the
capitalists of this country are getting
ready to take government bonds in case
of war, There is no probability, and
indeed there will be no necessity of
any government bonds in Europe.
The banks and capitalists of this II
try will take hundreds of millions Of
dollars of such, should they be offered
for sale, and will be glad to do so. As
money is very necessary in case of a

government will be well provided for.

WITH a few new district attorneys,

be slow. But better late than never Is
a very good proverb in this case.
