THAT OLD "ALLIANCE" BUGABOO.

THAT OLD ALLIANCE" BUGABOO.
washington Times.)
The old report is revived of an alli-
ance of the Latin republics of South
America against the United States. The
fact that the story comes from the 9TH
er side of the Atlantic shows the sort
of influence through which it was sifted.
OF course, the story is not to be re-
garded seriously in this country. In
Europe it may furnish a topic for earn
est discussion, for Europe does not yet
understand New World politics, and
has not yet arrived at a full apprecia-
ton of what American institutions
stand for. To be sure, there are certain
~prejudices in the minds of Latin Ameri-
cans which tend to estrange those peo-
pie from this country of ours, but these
are not, as Europeans so fondly be-
lieve, ineradicable race prejudices.
Archbishop Ireland, for example, could
testify to that. Even the vatican knows
what really is the cause of estrange-
ment, and with characteristic wisdom
has recently taken steps to remove it,
by investing the prelates and the vast
religious structure of South America
with IN independence which they have
not hitherto enjoyed.

President j. j. Hagerman, than whom
there is no more reliable authority con-
corning the Pecos Valley & Northeast
ern railway, is out in a published card,
in which he states that the umo of the
Santa Fe company intending to take
charge of the road is untrue, as the line
is not for sale. The Santa Fe company
does not own Z per cent of the stock, and
is not seeking to purchase. The Santa
Fe already has a satisfactory traffic
arrangement with the Pecos Valley
road, and has no need to control it. Un-
doubtedly the Santa Fe company, in a
friendly way, Endorsed the proposition
of the Pecos Valley extension when it
was being financed, but the venture has
succeeded so well in securing business
and building up territory that it's finan-
cial condition is excellent, and the line
is neither on the market for the Santa
Fe, nor in a position to be wrecked by
any rival of the latter.

Adjust the Debt.

The county of Santa Fe should take
dition of the money market and the re-
ported disposition of creditors to pro-
cure a reduction of the enormous debt
of nearly $500, 900 now hanging over the
recently been instituted for non-pay-
ment of interest. 1t will be to the dis
advantage of the county to have judg-
ments entered and to allow the indebt-
edness to keep growing. That the debt
can eve be paid in full as matters now
stand, no one, not even creditors, can
hope, Therefore, the time is propitious
to have the amount scaled down to one
a reduction of the interest from 5 and
I per cent to four, with thirty-year
bonds to cover the agreed amount. 1t is
believed a compromise of this character
creditors, so that it may be within the
power of the people of Santa Fe county
to postpone to a more propitious time
the payment of any part of the obliga-
tions, and also to greatly reduce the
amount of interest for which taxes
must be levied. BY prompt efforts along
this line upon the part of the county
commissioners, and evidence of a desire
, to do the best that can be done under
the circumstances, much may be ac-
complished toward reducing a burden
that is now heavier than a be borne,
and to put Santa Fe county in some
thing like decent financial shape.

Iowa for Gold Standard,

Iowa Republicans, in their state con-
vention this week, declared that as gold
is the standard money Of all stable gov.
ernments, the United States congress
should make it impossible to bring
about the abandonment Of the gold
standard by an executive, and should al
the same time continue to maintain the
parity of all the money in use in this
country. That is just what the Repub-
lican party proposes to do, keep every
dollar as good as another. This has been
the case ever since panic was averted by
defeat of the man who proposed to dou-
BILE the value of silver, and by the pros
pect of having a chance to act in that
way, caused quantities of gold to be
withdrawn from the country, and much
more to be boarded in anticipation of a
great rise in value.
Now one dollar Is as good as another.
The paper currency of various forms
which people and banks were eager to
have redeemed with gold, which the
government did not like to surrender in
the ticklish times, is preferred to gold.
This is because it is more convenient to
handle. Its owners have no fear that
when they need gold, deprecated silver
will be given them in exchange.
Without a gold standard, silver coin
would be deprecated as it is in the case
Of Mexico. But with the gold standard
in force, a silver dollar is as good as
a gold dollar, because the government
makes it so. The paper currency will
gladly be taken in exchange for gold,
but on a silver basis 1t would call only
for silver.

Money Not Lost.

1t is costing half a million daily to
carry on the Philippine war, but the
average citizen cannot see that he Is
hurt in pocket. The money was fur
nished by those who had it to loan, and
all the country Is taxed for is interest.
The greater part of the half million is
being paid to the army Of Americans
and for supplies from America. The
farmers who grow the food supplies
shipped to the army, the men who mine
the coal for the transports, the railways
and ships that transport the men and
material, all get part of the half million.
The val is proving to be a stimulant to
trade in many lines. 1t has taken idle
money and is paying 1t out for services
and supplies, to make which requires
labor. OF the money paid to volunteers
but little has been left in the Philip
pines. While the outlay Of the govern
ment may be half a million daily, the
amount that Is really lost to the country

How New Mexico is Robbed.

The housekeeper who buys a gallon
of gasoline shipped to Santa Fe must
pay 40 cents for the commodity. The
Standard Oil company charges the
dealers an outrageous price, imposes
such onerous restrictions upon them,
onerous restrictions upon them, and
no great profit remains for the mer-
grade of oil the merchant must pay the
company q cents per gallon in bulk.
The same grades of oil and gasoline
are hauled through New Mexico and
sold in California for from Is to II cents
per gallon by merchants to consumers.
Until a few months g the price to the
consumers in Los Angeles was 8 cents
for oil and II cents for gasoline, and
neither the local company engaged in
losing money. Finally the Standard
purchased the refinery in Southern Cal
ifornia and ceased to operate it. Soon
after this the Oil depot of the Standard
in Los Angeles was burned, the loss be-
ing 500, 900, fully insured. The COM
pany, however, promptly increased the
price of oil 2 cents per gallon for the
new supply rushed in, on the ground
that the loss must be made up by this
method. Next week another cen vas
added to the bill of dealers, and this
increase was kept up until the price had
nearly doubled in a short space Of time.
What figure has been reached by this
time is not known, but as there is ar
oil company Of growing strength furth-
er up the coast, with a refinery that
ships to San Francisco, it is probable
that the Standard has not boosted
prices more than 100 per cent for fear Of
tempting the northern company to en-
ter the Los Angeles market.
But it is not necessary to go to Cali
fornia to find how the company is dis
eliminating in robbing the people of
New Mexico. It's oil tanks are freighted
through New Mexico to Ell Paso and
oil is sold to consumers at Is cents. per
gallon, for some unknown reason. 1t
may be that the reputation of Texas for
HSilllilS IIollopolco, III ICCOlleCllOL u
the summary proceedings begun
against some of the oil magnates a few
years ago by Texas authorities, has
something to do with the wonderful
moderation shown by the greatest and
g%reediest CORPORATION that ever corner
ed a commodity and demanded such
prices that several hundred millions Of
dollars accumulate annually from the
excessive exactions from the people.
1t is said that corporations have
rights that should be protected, but this
corporation outlaws itself as much as
does the train robber, and is much less
entitled to moderate punishment when
it is possible to make it pay a penalty.
The train robber usually has the excuse
that he needs money and he does not
rob the people whose necessities require
them to travel. But the Standard Oil
company robs when it's treasury is fill
ed; it robs the church, the school, the
preacher, the laborer every day in the
year.
If it be true that time again makes
all things even, there will be a heavy
reckoning when the people of New Mex
leo get a chance to settle scores with the
Standard Oil company.

IRRIGATION AND SMALL FARMS.
Carlsbad Argus.)
That irrigation brings with it nu-
merous small and prosperous farms is
shown by the last census report. This
indicates. that in 1890 one-half of the
total area irrigated in the arid and
sub-arid states and territories was OPP
Grated by small holders. Out of the
"a, 136 holdings upon which crops were
raised by irrigation, over 81 per cent
averaged thirty-seven acres each. A
small irrigated farm in%telligently cul-
tivated is a very desirable possession,
and that is what the Pecos Valley has
to offer the farming population.

THAT DROWNED MAN.
Looking For information of
Frank Wood.

James P. Wood of South Cana
dian, a brother of Frank Wood,
the young man drowned two or
three weeks ago in Whiteoak,
came in last night. He says his
brother left Sarcoxie 2 years ago,
that being the family home at the
time, and has frequently been
heard of in different parts of Mis-
souri,. He was but nineteen years
of age and was coal miner, more
than anything else. He wrote to
the family at South Canadian some
time since that he had bought
horse and was going to ride
through. James Wood is looking
for George Robacker, the young
man from Big Cabin who identi-
fed the dead mans horse and sad
die, gave a good description of
him and told his name, some days
since. Robacker said he left
Wood and came to this section
about two weeks ahead Of the un-
fortunate young man. He is sup
posed to be working in the vicin.
ity of Big Cabin at this time.
With all the publicity given, the
Wood family only learned of the
sons death Wednesday.
