Gates who, when their dollar is

The total cost of the war with
Spain was S16O,OOO, 900. The
increased expenditures for the
fiscal year, as estimated bv
Secretary Gage, over the ex-
penditure of the year before the
war is $275, 900, 900. Senator
Caffrey puts the increase of the
revenue required on account of
the Philippines alone at over
$500, 100000 annually. Accord
ing to these estimates it will
cost much more to govern the
possessions the war released
from Spain than was the cost of
driving Spain from the western
hemisphere and destroying her
fleets. These facts give point
to Sentar Caffrey's pungent
question: Expansion is a
magnificent show, but is it
worth the gate money!"

In a speech at Denver this
week Col. VIM. J. Byran truth
fully said: "The cause lives
because it embodies the hopes
aspirations and belief of our
people. 1t is a strong cause,
because the people need silver.
The American people favor BIZ
mettalism, never mind where
silver is produced. We do not
need it because silver is pro-
duced here. People eat be-
cause th9y need it, not because
food has to be consumed. And
so with gold and silver. They
are important in the world S
commerce because they are
needed, and you can never de-
stroy silver while it is needed.
The farmer; the creator OF
wealth, knows that the gold
standard lowers prices without
raising money. And if a gold
standard should be once estab-
lished you may set it down that
the date of bankruptcy is not
far ahead. To restore bimet-
talism is to restore the parity
between money and property
Those who advocate a gold
standard as a rule know that
gold is not stable nor honest.
The strength of the gold stand
ard is to be found in the money

The West Baden lind. Jour
nal says: The latest thing in the
way of a trust, is the milk trust,
organized at Chicago. When a
child is born he is rocked in a
cradle manufactured by the
trust; drinks trust milk from a
bottle manufactured by the glass
trust; his shoes are made from
leather bought from the leather
trust; he studies books made by
the school book trust; learns to
use tobacco manufactured by the
tobacco trust; meets a trust
every day of his life, and at last
dies and is buried in a coffin
made by a coffin trust.

in one year two-thirds the value
of all property in the territory
for taxable purposes, including
the mines, are assessed at only
So, 100000, according to Gov.
Murphy. Our legislators should
take some steps toward making
these mines pay a just proper
ton of the expenses of the Coun-
ty and territorial governments.
They are far more able to do SO,
than many of our poor ranch
men who are compelled to pay
taxes on the full value of all
their worldly possessions, even
to their chickens and pigs.
There are other corporations
doing business in our territory
who should be made to disgorge
some of their ill-gotten gains
in sustaining the government
that protects them. Wells,
Fargo & Go. is one of them.
Their charges are simply out
rageous, and our legislators will
do the right thing if they can
enact a law taxing them in pro
portion to their charges.
The Pullman Palace Car Com
pany should receive some atten-
ticu at the hands of our legisla-
tors in the same direction.
The law exempting railroads
from taxation ought to be re-
pealed and many other changes
made.
In short our revenue laws
should be so amended that all
property be made to bear its pro
portion in supporting the gov
ernment under which they do
business, and whose strong pro-
tecting arm they invariably in
woke in time of trouble. We
look to this legislature to enact
a revenue law that is just to the
poor and not unjust to the rich.

In his discussing of the treaty
in the senate last week Mr..
Teller said: 81 am for the trea-
tv. and I shall not vote to
it. If I could have my
way I would ratify it in ten min
utes and get it out of the way.
Our military expenses on the
present war footing are nearly
a million dollars a day. To
amend the treaty would necssi-
tate sending it back to Spain.
That would mean three, per-
haps six months delay. All
that time the $1,OO0,000 a day
must still be spent. At the
same time I am not in favor OF
permanently annexing the Phil
ippines to the United States. l
am not an imperialist. L do
not know any senator who IS.

The subjugation of foreign ter
ritory and forcing government
on a people without their con-
sent and against their will, is
causing some acrimonious de
bate in both branches of Con-
gress, as we'll as decided diff
ference of opinion between some
of our acknowledged wisest
statesmen. John Sherman, W.
J. Bryan and Grover Cleveland
hold about the same ideas on
this question, though they diff
fer and have differed on almost
all other questions of national
policy. John Sherman said in
an interview in Springfield,
Ohio, on the 26th:
"The Philippines belong to
the people of those islands who
were there fighting for their lib
erty at the time the United
States declared war against
Spain. Dewey did right in cap
turing Manila and our govern
ment was right in holding the
city, but that was the only pos
session we had really acquired
over there. With that excep-
ton, the islands should be turn
ed over to the Fillipinos upon
their reimbursing the govern
ment for the $40, 100000 given
Spain to relinquish claim to the
islands.
"The same course should be
followed in dealing with Cuba.
The right of the people OF both
Cuba and the Philippines to
self-government should be fully
recognized by the United States.
All that applied to the United
States when our Declaration OF
independence was adopted holds
good to-day concerning the Phil
lippines and Cuba"

The Meanest Man.

The meanest man in the world
is the fellow who will appropri-
ate some of your good works to
his own benefit without thank
ing you and then give you an
all-around cussing; he will
abuse you for making a mistake
when you have been as honest
as you could, and then make
the same kind of a mistake
himself; he will inconsistently
talk about your inconsistency
and attempt to tear down your
good reputation when you make
one; he will do everything pos
sible to add to your misery in
this world, and when you are
dead he will go to your grave,
place a bouquet on it, and saw:
"Well, after all, he was a pref
ty good fellow. Like other
men he had his faults, but did
not mean to harm any one."
Now, my dear reader, I do
not want the meanest man in
the world to place a bouquet on
my grave if he can't give me
flowers while I live. If he can't
speak soft words for me
when they will aid me in going
through this vale of darkness
and sin, sorrow and tears, he
may keep them to himself when
| am gone. If he can be the
evening beam to smile the
clon2s away when I enjoy this
life S sunshine, he needn't wor-
ry himself attempting to wipe
out the faults I have along my
rugged 'pathway.-Ex.

1t has rarely been the happy
fortune of any political leader
in the United States, says the
Washington Post, to please so
many of his fellow citizens as
has been gratified by the de-
liverence of the Hon. William
j. Bryan since his retirement
from the army restored to him
the privilege of discussing pub
lie questions. His prompt and
clear perception of the necessi-
ty of ratifying the treaty and
his logical and eloquent advo-
cacy of that step came at the
right time and in the right way.
He saw, and he enabled a good
many others to see, that the
first duty was to put a formal
end to the war that had been
nominally ended by the protocol
and the signing of the treaty.
That done, the time for discus
sing questions relating to the
government of the Philippines
would have arrived. This pat
riotic and Ostatesmanlike atti-
tude won the approval of all
parties.

Whenever a gigantic trust in
serts itself into American eco
nomics it may be regarded as
evidence that the products it
proposes to control no longer
require the fostering care of
the protective tariff. The prin-
ciple of tariff protection for in
fant industries cannot be con-
torted into governmental con-
nivance in promoting trusts.
The prohibitory tariff of Sc pei
ton on printing paper and the
excessive tariff of $1.67 per ton
on pulp ought in the interests OF
the people and the perpetuity
of the good faith the admins
tration party owes the people
be repealed without argument
and without delay. The duty
on these articles under existing
condition amounts to tax pure
and simple, not upon luxuries,
but upon actual necessitates.
The existence of monopoly is
irrefutable evidence that such is
a fact. There is no room Tor
doubt. The government stands
in the light of conspirator
against the interest of the peo-
pie until the appearance of con-
nivance is removed.-The Cax-
ton Caveat.

The Argus in commenting on
Gov. Murphy's message says it
is an able document, full of prac-
tical suggestions-he favors fe-
male suffrage. Is this latter one
of the Governors practical sug-
gestions? Or is it a bid for the
Mormon vote? The Governor is
sly-"devilish sly is Joey''-and
just about as sincere in the re-
commendation, as he is, or has
been, On the statehood question.
Not another factor, hierarchy,
corporation-call it what you
will, within the borders of our
territory, cares tinker's cuss,
about woman suffrage aside from
the Mormon church. The Lat
ter Day Saints want their women
to have the elective franchise.
They need it to counterpoise the
political power as it were. Gov.
Murphy recommends it to dem
ocratic legislature, with as much
hope of getting it as the people
have of getting home rule under
a republican administration, and
he knows it, or he would never
have favored it. Now if the
present was a republican legis-
lature, then the genial Governor
might have been accredited with
sincerity, but under present con-
ditions, oh, no, Gov. The peo-
pie, as a rule, are easily gulled,
but this is too glaring, too men
daciously glittering by half.
The twentieth legislative assem-
bly, are not passing female suf-
frage acts, because they are rep
resentative men, and they know
that the people generally whom
they represent, are not in favor
of female suffrage, They have
too much respect for their moth
ers, sisters, wives and daughters
to want them to degrade them
selves by dabbling in the filthy
pool of politics.
Aside from woman suffrage,
many of the Governor S recon-
mendations are good, particular
ly those favOring an amendment
to the revenue laws, taxing
mines, railroads and other cor
porations. On these points the
Governor is approaching very
close to democracy, and if he is
not careful they will read him
out of the republican party. On
this subject, however, we see a
letter in the Los Angeles Mining
Review from Mr.. PittoCk, who
quotes Col. Epes Randolph,
President of the King of Arizona
Mining Company, as saying
"That Arizona would produce
S13, 900, 900 in copper this year
and half that amount in gold
and silver" This places the
yield of our mines at $40, 5000,
900, while the entire assessable
property of the territory is only
$50, 100000. Yet these mines,
which it is claimed will produce

Further on in the interview he
said of Mckinley:
"My only criticism of McKin-
ley is that he tries to do too
much and personally enters upon
duties that belong to the heads
of departments. Such course
interferes with the harmony of
the different branches of the
government. It tends to create
confusion, and often serious mis-
understandings"

How the CALLED statesmen at

says the Los Angeles Herald.
They have proposed to make
newspaper cartooning a crime
to open a sluice way for libel
suits and generally to hedge in
the newspapers in manner sug-
gestive of methods in vogue in
Russia. But the latest and
most significant of all the plans
for the protection of all the
statesmen is embodied in the
bill of Statesman Dickinson in
defining ''justifiable homicide. -
The Dickinsonian plan provides
tnat it shall be lawful to kill a

and tour children, whose remains were
partly incinerated by burning the1

Tettaton, son of Wash Tettaton by
his first wife, is under arrest. Wash
Tettaton left considerable means, the
greater part of which was bequeathed
to his second wife. j. H. Tettaton
was appointed administrator. His
management was not satisfactory to
Mrs Tettaton. Several suits were
brought Yesterday Mrs. Tettaton
agreed to dismiss suits for cash con-
sideration of $500, and cancel claims
held upon lands belonging to the
estate. J. H. Tettaton went to his
stepmother's home last night to adjust
matters. That was the last seen of the
widow and children alive. About o
o'clock neighbors saw the Tettaton
home on fire and on reaching there dis
covered the bodies of five victims in the
flames. j. Fl. Tettaton was found in
the yard with Is knife wounds on his
head and face shamming unconscious
ness. His wounds were triing.
Tettaton says the crime was commit
ted by two unknown men who beat him
into insensibiIity.

SANTA FE RAILWAY WORK.
Getting Ready for Heavy and Rapid Travel
on the Main Line,

BY the end of the year all piling ant
wooden bridges on the Santa Fe mair
line will have been removed, at an ex
pense of half million dollars, masonry
and iron being substituted. The con.
| tracts have all been let, B. I.antry &
Sons having The work on the New Mex
leo and Chicago divisions.
| The Santa Fe company will also lay
$50 miles of new steel rails this year.
| Sixty-seven miles will be new track and
the rest will be in replacing old rails on
the main line.
| The relaying on the New Mexico divi-
sion has already commenced. Grading
! for the remainder OF the double track
between Emporia and Florence and the
new second track out of Ottawa east
has been completed, and the laying of
steel will be commenced within short
time. Work on the Middle and Western
divisions will be taken up early next
month.
One hundred ana fifty miles of new
rails will be distributed between La
Junta and Albuquerque.
The estimated cost of relaying is
$3, 900 per mile, and the average cost of
putting down new track is just double
that amount. Consequently, the Santa
Fe management will expend in the
neighborhood of $1,000, 900 in the inn
provement of track and the construction
of new track this year.
Forty-three miles of the new track
will form the line to be built from Canev
in southwesterly direction through
the Indian Territory. Grading for this
new branch line is now in progress,
and it is expected that work on the
track will be commenced by the middle
of May. Twelve miles will close the
gap in the double track between EN-
poria and Florence. Two and a half
miles will be laid as a short second track
from Ottawa east.
