That Butte Incident,

Poisonous fumes from smelters have
for years been a standing cause for
complaint, and with the increase in the
number and capacity of smelling plants
these complaints are becoming, in many
cases. srievous. Fol instance, people
living in and around Argentine, Kan,
used to find holes eaten in clothes hung
out on the lines, due to the precipitation
of acid fumes from the great smelter
there, and there was more or less of an
ado until the company found a way to
otherwise dispose of the cause of troub-
lie. At Ell Paso, when the wind blows
from the northwest. The zinc-sulphur
fumes are blown four miles into the city
where their sitting stencil becomes a
marked nuisance, especially to people
on the west side of the town. For years
the raising of vegetation in Butte,
Mont, has been impossible on account
of the smelter fumes, but the citizens
have stood it because it was regarded
as an unavoidable evil. But of late the
sulphur-arsenic fumes have become so
strong and so deadly hat five recent
deaths have been attributed to them,
and an emigration from the town has
started. This has also started citizens
to action, and at a recent mass meeting
measures We're taken looking towards
an abatement of the trouble. The dispo-
sition of smelter fumes has of late be-
come something of a problem, and de-
vices have Deer invented to consume all
of these noxious vapors in especially
constructed combustion chambers with
out interfering with the course of the
draught. But the improvement is at
tended with considerable cost, and
smelter owners have been p%ostponing
the day when they shall add consumers
to their plant, just as many railroad
companies have been p~ostponing the
day when they shall add to their freight
equipment the new standard coupler
adopted by the interstate commission
But the smelter men might as we'll
make up their minds the reform has got
to come and prepare for the inevitable.
When these vapors become destruc-
| tive to life the law making powers are
| sure to compel the smelters to adopt
consumers, just as the railroads are
forced to adopt accident preventive
and life saving appliances, and this
Butte incident will now hasten the
needed legislation.

One feature Of the Hull army bill
causing special attention is its treat
ment of the artillery arm of the service,
while is radically different from the pro-
visions of the Miles bill. Chairman Hull
groups the entire artillery branch into
one CORPS of 144 seacoast or heavy bat
teries, and "a light or horse batteries,
thus doing away with the regimental
organization and reducing largely the
number of officers. There is talk now of
a third bill which shall be a compromise
between the two bills now before the
house committee on military affairs,
the total increase being a feature both
parties can agree upon, viz, lOO,O0O men
for all branches of the service. Chair
man Hull would have 80 regiments of
infantry numbering IS, 500 men, the
equivalent of IA regiments of artillery
numbering 1890 men, II regiments OF
cavalry numbering 14,4oO. or Sc, 200 mer
in the line. Adding to this the hospita
corps of 5000 privates, the largely in.
creased engineers corps and the ord
nance, quartermaster, commissary, in.
spector general, medical, %adjutant gen.
eral and Judge advocates departments
the total aggregation reaches a little
over the 100, 900 figure.

Stories of suffering and death in the
Klondike, as they did a veal ago, are
coming from that inhospitable land, and
hundreds, perhaps, who went to that

few months, will never reach their
homes again. 1t is the old story of dis

Democratic Opposition.

AS the days pass, it becomes more and
more evident that the Democrats have
decided to make expansion, if possible,
an issue which will take the place of
free trade and free silver to a large ex-
tent. Since congress convened the mem
bers of the senate on the Democratic
side have been growing holder day by
day in their opposition to the plans of
the administration regarding the an
~neXation of the islands coded by Spain,
and now the issue is pretty we'll defined.
Judging from the utterances of the
Democratic statesmen, they are not so
much opposed to the ratification of the
treaty which has been signed between
the United States and Spain,
as they desire to place
themselves on record as against
any change in the policy of the govern
lhent which has been followed since the
Louisiana purchase was completed, and
hope by so doing to line up the oppos-
ing factions solidly against the Republi-
can party for the campaign and election
of 1900. In this attitude the Democrats
are somewhat inconsistent. They real
ize thai the treaty must be ratified by
the senate, and that there are enough
votes in that body in favor of ratifica-
ton to prevent any other outcome of
the matter when a vote is taken. After
that is done it is difficult to see what
tbnyr n nnn,,,y1icI ox-o ,l ,o,A,ro,,t:,-
the annexation of the islands. The
terms of a number of Democratic sen
ators expire on March 4, 1899, their seats
| will be filled by Republicans in the seth
congress, and thereafter the Democratic
opposition to the administration will
amount to almost nothing for eigh
years to come in the senate.
Before the election of 1900 comes
around, annexation will have been ac-
complished, stable forms of government
established in the new possessions ant
the people will have accepted conditions
as satisfactory, will know that the Unit,
ed States has fulfilled her duty in tax.
ing peoples who have beer oppressed
for centuries under her protection, ant
the probabilities are hat the advan
tages derived through such an arrange
ment will hoist the Democrats on TIL
sharp end of their own sword.
1t may be a shreWd move for tn
Democratic leaders to attempt to fore
opposition of expansion into a party is
sue, but that is a question which will
have to be studied a while. A large ma
jority of the people of the country ar
not adverse to trying an experiment
which promises SO much, and they wi
be more than glad to give it a thoroug
trial before condemning it. Expansio
has been forced upon the country, and
| will require more influence than that c
: a few Democratic senators and would
be leaders to defeat it or cause the pee
f pie to turn against the administratio
because of it's attitude in the matter.

If it made the Spanish members of the
peace commission feel better and tc
love their enemies more by in%corporat-
ing in the articles of the treaty that
''she yields only to force the American
commissioners acted wisely in allowing
it. The supposition is that Spain would
not have stopped fighting until the
United States was licked had the force
been on her side, and placing the expla-
nation of the reason for the suspension
of hostilities and the signing of the
treaty in the document will prove val
liable to historians in the ages to come,
as it will remove, officially, all doubt on
the subject. Had the phase been omit
ted, coming generations might have got
ten the impression that the war came tc
an end through the magnanimity OF the
S%paniards, who did not want to exter-
inmate the Yankees.

1t is with some degree of national
pride that the average American notes
the demand for American policemen in
the new colonial possessions. General
Henry, military governor of Puerto Ri
co, is considering importing a large
squad of trained New York, Boston or
Philadelphia policemen to maintain or
der in the municipalities of the island,
and in Cuba the need of that peculiarly
effective supervision which only an
American policeman can give, is being
appreciated. In fact, the new chief of

The attitude of the Republican part.

The attitude Of the Republican party
of New Mexico has always been con-
sistent on the question of the admission
of. the territory as a state. We favored
the admission of the territory when the
Democratic party was united in their
opposition against it. We still favor
it's admission, believing that there is no
good and substantial reason for keeping
us out of the Union as a state and be-
lieve that this can best be accomplished
by the election of a delegate to congress
who is in harmony with Republican
politics and principles.-Republican
