THE CRACK RIDERS
RETURN NEXT WEEK
Riddle and Hickman viii be Given Chance
to Settle the Championship of
the South

Another meet of the Grand circuit bicycle
riders will be held next Tuesday and
Wednesday nights The affair will be pull
ed off by the same management as the one
of this week, which was a success from
every standpoint.
In addition to the regular features of .
circuit meet, Manager Pickens has ar
ranged a three-heat match race between
Jay Eaton, the Indoor king" who demon
strated his superiority over the crack pro-
fessions here this week, and Bob Walthour,
the great Atlanta rider, who has won 50
much gold and fame on the circuit for the
past few years. Both Walthour and Eaton
have hundreds of friends and admirers III
this city, and the races between them will
be for blood. Wathour has been getting
a little the best of Eaton during the past
season, and the "indoor king has been
trying to arrange contest to decide which
is the best man. Walthour is riding in
grand form just at present in the east,
while Eaton's condition will be attested to
by any of the spectators at the last races
A purse of $3.50 will be hung up for the
event.
An Event of Interest
center from a local standpoint will be the
match races between Fed Hickman and
Joe Biddle to decide the final championship
honors for the season.
Biddles recent improvement in form and
his wonderful mile record a few nights ago
will give good cause for Hlcl0man's friends
to worry over the outcome of the match.
The men will ride three heats paced in rec
ord time. Hickman claims that he will
hold the championship regardless of Joe's
aspirations. One handicap and one open
race will be added to the programme, and
Lee Richardson will appear for the last
time in the city.
The admission for the coming meet will
be % cents, though the same high-class
racing will be put on. Eaton and the bunch
of crack riders return Monday night.

Cleveland Has Thinks Again.

From the depths of his ponderosity
ex-President Cleveland has spoken at
asst to say that he is opposed to..eXpand-
ing territory by force. Force was never
instituted to secure ownership of the
Philippine islands, but when a naval
battle fought without any intention Of
acquiring it put the country at the
mercy of this nation and the vanquished
sovereign wished to unload that which
could no longer be of service, upon IL
government which could use the terri
tory benefcially Spain was paid her
price for the property, and that is all
there is to it.. When the possession was
disputed by an upstart who had been
hired by Spain to leave the country, but
who returned to interfere with the
Americans, then it became proper to
suppress him unless he were to be
bought again, which is contrary to the
American custom of treating rebels.
The position of President Cleveland up
on this subject does not surprise anyone,
for he made haste, when he was last
elected, to undo the work which Presi-
dent Harrison accomplished to acquire
Hawaii, although the people of the
islands desired annexation. The last
congress was glad to grant their re-
quest because of the great benefit to
this country ownership would bring for
both commercial reasons and for pur-
poses of defense in the Pacific ocean.
Doubtless Cleveland thinks annexation
of Hawaii was a great mistake but the
party which once thought he was a
great man is not claiming any such
thing.

Land In Demand.

The Union Pacific Railway company
has for many years held $500, 900 acres
Of land for which there was no market.
The revival of good times has made a
market and this year the sales will aggre
gate 1000. 900 acres. The cattlemen and
sheep growers are large purchasers. So
much land which has been leased by On
used free by stockmen, is being taken
up that the only way they can keep
their herds intact and hold the range is
to buy large tracts of land from the
railway company. AS prices have i'm
proved many stockmen are able to pur-
chase ranges. Grazing land is sold
from so cents to $1.50 an acre, while
ranch land brings from S1.5O to S., and
farm land from S4 to $40. The bulk of
the property is grazing land and on this
as on all other kinds 10 wears time is
allowed for payments or 10 per cen dis
count for cash.

The Market For Lambs.

The Colorado men who have been in
the habit Of coming into New Mexico
and buying cheap lambs for feeding in
the alfalfa valleys of that state are
doing considerable talking this year
about the certainty of New Mexico sheep
owners having to accept lower prices
than are now asked for lambs. The
price demanded, about 81 per head, seems
to the Colorado men too high, and they
are generally waiting. The chances are
they will wait in vain, for most of the
growers have received a much higher
price for wool than for along while be-
fore. and have funds with which to
operate without sacrificing lambs. Many
of the owners prefer to hold their lambs
for the spring market. And the ad-
vance in the price of wool Las caused
many of the larger holders to buy the
lambs of smaller focks to hold for the
fleece next year. In some sections the
farmers are becoming feeders them
selves, upon local hay or else upon
northern pastures. The day when the
Colorado buyers could dictate terms to
needy sheep men of New Mexico has
past. And If the market demands nut
ton at a higher price, on account of the
increased consumption and the rising
price of beef, then the feeders may as
well make up their minds to pay what
the lambs are worth, otherwise there
will be few sales, or the producers will
feed or sell direct to the consumers.
The Colorado feeders have had o good
thing and they squirm when the sheep
men are no longer compelled to accept
low prices in order to meet expenses.

government expenses aud also shut out
foreign products and manufactured
goods, the Democrats dare not spring
that sort of an issue again. That is why
they have to bring up new subjects to
kick about. OF course they realize that
free silver can no longer be depended
upon as Il strong attraction for voters
and it has been relegated as a side show.
Anti-eXpansion talk is now the leading
hope of many Democratic politicians.
yet there are good indications that the
masses OF the party have no sympathy
with the policy of some of the leaders
who are trying to make capital upon
this issue, for lack Of any other. The
Democratic party is the opportunistS
party. 1t must, instead of having a
definite policy, pick mp anything that
occurs which may be used as an excuse
for opposition to the controlling party.
This year it is very hard to discover
anything to harp about that will enlist
the endorsement Of the people.

The American nation has made a good
swap in trading off pull-back Reed, the
former speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives, for a man who has been a
soldier. In a spe sch in Chicago, Con-
gresham Henderson, of Iowa, the next
speaker, said of the reported alliance
with England upon the Philippine ques-
ton:
THE United States is planted on a
continent by itself. 1t can handle all
the fringes that God and destiny gives
it and it will not have to ask the consent
of any nation on earth.

The President Knows the Public Mind.

In his speech at Chicago President
Mckinley called attention to the fact
that the United States has never struck
a hostile blow except for civilization and
never struck its colors in any contest.
Nor has it ever repudiated a national
obligation to creditors or to humanity.
Therefore the republic has done nothing
to weaken its vlrility. Patriotism has
not declined and the effort to turn the
wal and the Instruction of the Filipinos
into a political question has failed.
Has patriotism died ont in the hearts
OF the people?' asked the president.

with many others anxious to enlist, but
whose services were not needed"
The flag means more now than ever
before. No longer does the idea of
separation linger in a section of the
country as it did for decades. The dan
ger has passed. From Plymouth Rock
to the Philippines is a long march, yet
the nation has made it and each addi-
tional stage passed in the movement has
added to the strength of the nation in
stead of weakening it, as the timorous
element falsely foretold in each instance.
From every state in the Union comes
the assurance that the people approve
of the intention of the government to
make its island possessions peaceable
and to compel the resisting tribe to sub
nit to the requirements of a government
that means to improve their condition
and at the same time make the country
tributary to the commercial greatness
Of America. instead of to that of Europe.
The president comprehends the un-
swerving determination of the American
people to advance the nation.

The TERRITORIAL PRESS.
RAILROAD WANTED.
Harrington Times.)


Draw a straight line from Pueblo,
Colo, to San Diego or Los Angeles, CAL,
and you will have the shortest line be-
tween Pueblo and the Pacific coast. You
will also have ii line that can be ira
versed by a railroad with less diversion
than any other route. You will conse-
quently have the shortest railroad from
Pueblo to the Pacific coast and also the
shortest from Denver and all points to
northeast. Such a line would pass
through Del Norte and Pagosa Springs,
Colorado, Pennington, New Mexico, and
Flagstaff, Jerome and Prescott, Arizona.
Aside from the immense tran%s-continen-
tai traffic such a line would secure there
is not a road today connecting Denver
with the Pacific coast that supplies the
local traffic that such a line would. The
greatest need of the immense territory
to the southwest is cheap coal of a
superior quality. The need cannot be
supplied from any other source, of as
good a quality and at MS cheap a price,
as it can from the coal fields of San
Juan county. The coal traffic alone
would make the road a big paying pro-
position, also the exchange of agricul-
tural and fruit products of the northern
and southern sections. on account of
climatic conditions would supply a large
traffic. The greatest need of San Juan
county, is transportation facilities, and
a railroad connecting us with any out
side point would be welcome but the
road that would be the greatest benefit
is a road to the southwest. Whether
that will be the first road thatstrikes us
or not the day is not far distant when it
will be built.
