o EITHER =
THE G CONSPIRACY.
(St. Louis Globe DemOcrat.)

As Dewey see the situation, the re
volt is the work of a band of educated
native conspirators, who thought they
saw an opportunity to seize the govern
ment Of all the islands, regardless of the
result of the negotiations between the
United States and Spain, the principals
in the case, and the only ones, accord
ing to all international precedent. The
''later Washington" and the national
uprising vanish when these facts are
considered. 1t is distinctly the opinion
of Dewey that the Filipinos at present
are not qualified for self-government.
The plotting lawyers intended to set up
a d~espotism of their own, something that
would have retained what was worst in
Spanish rule and added to it the anarchy
that irresponsible usurpers always
create. The United States does not even
know the names of these conspiratorS,
but it is not material. Their scheme to
wrest territory from this country proves
that, whatever their education may have
been, they lack common sense.

England has no more justification in
crowding wal upon the Transvaal than
the United States would have in scoop
ing Canada. British citizens own most
of the mines in the Transvaal and citi-
zen of the United States own the ma
jority in the Klondyke. Ia the Trans
vaal the British are not allowed to make
laws ami are dicriminated against.
But that is true of citizens of this coun-
try in the Klondyke. 1t may be true
that the British could better govern the
Transvaal, but it is iustas true that the
United States could make an improve
ment in Canada. If the end justifes
the means in one case it would in the
other.

Albuquerque Citizen.)
For a decade the newspapers and poll
ticians of Colorado have been denounc-
ing the federal government. They have
howled about being down trodden, to
catch votes, until the people of the state
really believe that they have been in
iured by somebody. They want cheap
money, they say, and appear to believe
that the nation can be prosperous by de-
basing its money. Such a thing has
never happened to any nation and never
will, but the Colorado fanatic does not
read history. There is a CLEAN of hope,
however, for Colorado. In many of the
counties Republican tickets are in the
field; and fusion is becoming unpopular.
The war in the Philippines has aroused
q patriotic spirit here and there in the
state, which may increase before the
end Of the national campaign next year.
The Denver Times, Pueblo Chieftain
aid other influential newspapers have
come out squarely for the administra-
ton and Republican principles, and it
is possible that the Bryan craze may be
wiped out in Colorado next year.

RIGHT FROM THE START.
Chicago Times-H Herald

We secured title to the Philippines in
a manner that would make it good in
any international court. There is not a
great power that would consider the con
testing cause worthy Of discussion. The
position Of great Britain, of Germany,
of France, is such that each one of these
nations must regard the Filipino insur'
rection as an uprising against properly
constituted authority.
Arbitration between independent
states is the kind that was contemplated
at The Hague. Arbitration with rebels
is an impossibility unless the sovereign
is willing to abandon his case at the be-
ginning by surrendering his sovereignty.
The claim that is made by this country
is not one of Instability, but of lawful
right. To forego it would be to invite
anarchy and insurrection everywhere.
1t would be equivalent to a confession
of weakness and incapacity which would
be prolific of tremendous difficulties in
the future.

Senior Mariscal of Mexico, has shown
in his speeches during the festival that
his nation has little fears of the northern
eagle, so often portrayed by Spanish.
Americans as eager to swoop down upon
the little republics and seize them with
out grace or warning. Mariscal remem-
bers how the United States compelled
France to keep hands off Mexico In 1866
and also remembers that the great pow
ers OF Europe seldom intervene In SINH
lar fashion without calmly a~nnexing
everything In sight as q sort of legal fee.
Uncle Sam is the Latin-American's elder
brother and the little republics will
recognize the fact some day.

SAN JUAN AT FAULT.
Pennington Times.)

San Juan county was not represented
at either the Albuquerque or the Santa
Fe fairs this year. There is an mac
countable apathy among our farmers
and fruit growers on such questions.
They seem to think that because we
have advertised ourselves once as the
foremost agricultural district in the
country, that it is sufficient. We are a
new country and need immigration and
it is necessary for us to continue to ad-
vertise. as all shrewd business men we'll
know. Let our %ranchmen and fruit
growers get up a c%reditable exhibit for
the fair at Durango next week, and do
not let each man lay back and wait for
his neighbor.

THE SHADOW OF A FACTOR.
(MinneapOlis Tribune.)

1t was unquestionably the attitude Of
Great Britain that prevented European
Intervention in behalf of Spain during
our war with that country; and now it
is said that Great Britain expects the
United States to return the favor, in
case she becomes involved in war with
the T%ransvaal, and to give the other
European powers to understand that
they must keep hands off and leave the
British and the Beers to fight it out.
This would be only turn about and fair
play. No doubt the moral weight of
Uncle Sans powerful and growing navy,
cast into the scale of non-intervention,
would be sufficient to deter the CONT
mental powers of Europe from interfer-
ing,

of the road projected by John w. Young
years ago. And we know whereof we
speak when we say that it will be every

built as the one from here into Mexico
will be, which is saying a great deal for
the road to the north.

ABSOLUTE SILENCE PREVAILS.
the War i'm South Africa-Be-
coming Inpatient.

London, Dec. ?, 4:30 a. m.-Absolute
silence has fallen over affairs in South
Africa. The war office has not yet re-
ceived Lord Methuen's casualty list.
The public and the press, hitherto pa
tient, are beginning to murmur at the
apparently needless delay which keeps
many families in state of painful
suspense.
1t is regarded as practically certain
that Lord Methuen has been REIN
forced by half battalion of the Cor
don Highlanders, regiment of caval-
ry and a battery of artillery, and that
De Aar is being daily reinforced by
troops to hold the lines of communion
tion.
1t is supposed that the Natal adj
vance has been delayed by the neces-
sity of getting supplies to Pieter-
maritzburg, but not 2 word emanates
from any of the various commands.

FATE OF THE KHALIFA.
q Very Brief Account of the Manner

Cairo, Dec. 2.-Officers from the Sou
dan who arrived here say that when
Gen. Wingate's force overlook the
Khalifa the latter tried to outflank the
Anglo-Egyptians, but failed. Seeing
his position was hopeless, the Khalifa
told his emirs to stay with him and die.
He then spread a sheepskin on the
ground and sat down on it, with the
emirs on either side of him. The Kha-
lifa was found shot through the head.
heart, arms and legs, and the emirs
VERIFYING dead beside him. The mem
bers of his bodyguard were all dead in
front of them. Gen. Wingate's force
swept over them without recognizing
the Khalifa and his emirs, but they
were identified later. The KhaIifa is
described as of medium height, strong
and stout, of light brown color, and
wearing a long, gray beard.

Interest Felt in Washington.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Considerabls
interest is felt here in the news that
the insurgents at Bayonbong have
surrendered, particularly as the num-
Der is said to be greater than hereto
fore captured by the United States
troops at any one time. Bayonbong
is the city to which Aguinaldo at one
time contemplated retreating for the
purpose of locating the rebel capital.
after he was forced to flee from Tar
lac, but the American troops pressed
him so hard that he was unable te
carry out his intention.
Gen. Otis dispatch of yesterday in
dicated that Bayonbong had been
captured on November 2S, and it is
thought this is the same place referred
to in the Manila dispatch. No informa-
ton regarding the surrender had been
received at the war department up to
an early hour this morning.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
November Somewhat Quieter Than
the Preceding Month-Price Situ-
alton Generally Strong.

New York, Dec. 2-Bradstreet's says:
Warm weather and holiday have i'm
parted an appearance of irregularity and
even dullness to some lines of distributive
trade, completing month which has been
on the whole Quieter than was the pre-
ceding month, but one which still makes
satisfactory comparison with correspond
ing period a year ago, when the weather
conditions particularly favored diStrib-
utive business in seasonable goods. The
price situation generally is apparently one
of notable strength in view of these con-
ditions. Farm products, it is true, notably
wheat and corn, have been weak and
lower on unsatisfactory foreign demand
and bearish influence exercised by in
creasing supplies of the former grain
Other cereals are stronger, however. Pro-
visions have been lower, largely on in
creased receipts of hogs, but lard has been
steel are even Quieter than they were
week ago, and some shading of prices,
more in the nature of readjustment, how
ever, than of weakness, have given an ap.
pearance of irregularity. The feature of
the week has been the agreement upon iron
ore prices, placing the price for the COM
ing season, as was intimated in this column
last week, at nearly double that paid at
the opening of the present season. The in
dustrial situation has been rather i'm
proved by the practical agreement upon
sliding scale system in the New England
cotton manufacturing districts. Some fur
ther advances in wages of railway en-
ployes and of glass workers are to be noted,
and some strikes of coal miners have been
settled
r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade
says: Business continues wonderfully
large, prosperous and healthy. AS the de-
tailed statement of failures by branches OF
business cannot be made until next week
it seems well to say that in four weeks fail
ures have been reported amounting to S..
S4S $50, against $S,110, 475 in the same weeks
of last year, 81 .61O, ,195 in 1897 and over s12.
000 600 in 1896 and also in 1895 Yet the vol
ume of solvent trade represented by ex-
changes at the principal clearing houses
has been for the month 22.5 per cent. greater
than last year and 46 per cent. greater than
In 1892. In many lines the volume of busi-
ness has been larger than in October, not
withstanding the extraordinary flood of
buying ever since the beginning of last
March.
Failures for the week have been IA in
the United States, against PSI last year, and
q in Canada, against 19 last year.

THE PENSION LAWS
Secretary Hitchcock Makes Some
recommendations Ex-
tracts from His Report.

Washington, Dec. 2-The annual repor.
| Of Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock
while summing up the work in all the bu.
reaus, is Of special interest by reason OF
| its statements regarding pension policies
At the close of the fiscal year there were
991, ,519 pensioners, decrease Of 2,195 dur
ing the year. The average annual value
of all pensions was s132.T The Spanish
war probably will increase the pension roll
during the current fiscal year.
Secretary Hitchcock urges legislation to
definitely construe the act of June q. 1890
relating to widows pensions. Regarding
this he says: ''In order to more exactly de-
fine the words means of support approve
the recommendation of the commissioner
of pensions that the act of June q. 1890, be
so amended that pensionable status be
granted to widows whose income, fnde.
pendent Of the proceeds of their daily labor.
is not in excess of $3.50 per annum." The
report also recommends legislative author
ity for biennial examinations of pension,
ers; legislation prohibiting the payment OF
''any compensation whatever to pension at
torneyS and agents for any service in con,
nectioR with any claim or proceeding un-
der the pension laws, except such as may
within certain limits fixed by congress be
allowed by the commissioner of pensions
and paid from the pension money as now
provided with respect to claims for PEN
sson, and for the delivery free Of any
part paid letter or packet addressed to pen,
sion agencies.
The secretary's report estimates the ir,
rigable area of the arid region of the United
States at 100000 acres, capable of COM
fortably supporting under a proper irriga,
tion system 100000 people. Reasonable
expenditures both by the federal and state
governments looking to wel-defned irri,
cation system are urged. Nearly so pro-
posed new forest reserves or additions to
those already established are under consid-
Grafton. The Dawes commission reports
the time has not yet arrived for the in
stallation of a territorial or state govern
ment in Indian Territory, owing mainly to
lack of uniform land tenures.
Attention is called to the phenomenal in
crease in railway traffic in the last two
years, amounting approximately in in
creased earnings in 1899 over 1898 to $9,-
100000 and the previous year to s2S000.0 900,
the increase being only limited by the lack
of cars to carry products.
During the fiscal year ended June 80, 1S99
the public lands disposed of aggregated
9,1S2, ,413.16 acres.
The total cash receipts during the year
amounted to 5000, 1874 an increase of
$792, 1875.
The total area of public lands is approxi-
mately fixed at 1,0S2. .13S, ,221 acres, of which
929, S0S. .06S acres are undisposed of and 1872
3S0,15S acres have been reserved for va
rious purposes.
Excluding $3.50 Indians in New York and
$500 embraced in the five civilized tribes,
the Indians number approximately 1S1, $50
as against $50, ,1S2 reported last year.

Tried to Destroy the Home and Fam
lily of Lawyer by
Dynamite.

y dastardly attempt to destroy the

known parties, who placed three
pounds of dynamite at his front door
and ignited a 14-foot fuse which
burned down into the fulmipating cap,
but failed to explode. Cron was awak-
ened by the smell, and later descended
and went to his stable. He found the
mysterious package, but supposing it
to be something belonging to his son
threw it into the hallway. This morn
ing he examined the package and at
once reported the case to the police
who are at work on slight clew. Fol-
Loving the Urbana outrage in which
one man lost his life, the people are
thoroughly aroused ard incensed.
