Not Having Battles.

A press dispatch says that the expedi-
an attack on Tarlac will result in a
great battle as there are 10000 insur-
gents maSsed there. with much artillery.
That is rank rot. There are not that
many Insurgents all told and the few
cannon they have, have done no harm
vet. In fact there has been no re-
port at any time of even a single Amer
lean being killed by artillery. Once a
cannon ball did shatter a flag pole near
headquarters of one of the generals.
There has been no real battle since
Dewey smashed the fleet. The fighting
has not been worthy of more than the
term of skirmishing. In what were m
sidered very small battles in the civil
wal in this country. more men were
killed daily than have been hit by Fill
pino bullets or died of disease. If the
insurgents would only stand for battle
they would soon be practlcally eAter-
minated. There will be no big battle
and the expedition expects none. The
FilipinoS will fire a few scattering vol
lies and vanish, unless the movement is
successful in hemming them in and then
they will be found largely unarmed and
many declaring themselves f%riendlies.

TransvaaI May Suffer for Supplies.

How will the Trassvaal be able to i'm
port supplies for the people during the
war? She has no sea coast and no port
is accessible except through British ter
ritory, but for one in Portuguese East
Africa. The British ports will be closed
to imports to the Tr%ansvaal.
The imports of the Transvaal in 1897
were, according to the best estimates
over 500, 900, 900, of which about $685.
600, 900 were from Great Britain, $13,-
500. 900 from the United States, $5,O0O,-
from Germany, and the remainder from
Belgium. Holland and France. The
closing Of the ports will compel the
Beers either to obtain their supplies of
imports through Portuguese territory or
else live upon what they can obtain
from their W territory and that Of the
colonies which they may invade.
The total value of goods in transit for
the South African republic and the
Orange Free State passing through Por-
tugese East Africa in 1897 was in round
terms $14, 900. 900, and the exports from
the United States to Portuguese East At
RIGA amounted in 1897 to ST. 800. 900, and
in 1898 to 49, 97, 900. OF this exporta-
ton from the United States, the very
large proportion was breadstuffs amount
ing to 81, 1927, 900; manufactures of cot
ton, $13, 81; manufactures of iron and
steel, $l51,543: Illuminating oil, 4l6,6 2O
gallons; manufactures of wood, $l42. 1870,
and manufactures of tobacco. $4,5s2.
What the general effect of the war
will be upon the of the Unit
ed States with the South African re-
public, which has become by reason of
Its mining industries and population so
large a consumer, will naturally be a
subject Of some speculation. As al.
ready indicated fully four.ffths Of the
imports into the Transvaal In 1907 came
from Great Britain, the total importa-

Public Attention Tickle.

Interest in the Boer war at present en-
ceeds public interest in the military
movement in the Philippines. The pub
lie in general feels more interest in the
outcome Of the yacht races than it does
about the momentous election in Ohio.
1t proves the childishness of human
nature. for a child will amuse itself with
play things even in the presence of
epoch.making events: it will listen with
while the history of its own country
seems stupid to it. 1t is strange, too,
how interest in events will suddenly leap
from one thing to another. Yesterday
every paper. every tongue mentioned
Dreyfus, today it is a yacht race, to-
morrow it may be a prize fight, while
the real events that have made and are
making this century great, create COM
ment only in limited circles.
Neither the life nor the welfare of a

outcome of the yacht race, yet columns
upon columns in every newspaper of the
land are devoted to it, while if the same
space were devoted to telling of the
climate of New Mexico it might say
hundreds or thousands of lives that will
be extinguished by tuberculosis within a
year or two.
1t is the mar in the laboratory who
discovers a new remedy for human ills.
the man in the machine shop who de-
signs a new machine to lessen human
labor, the nan IN his library who writes
a book that sheds new light upon the
social relations of man, who are doing
things that count, while the other
events which occupy human attention
most. which arouse the lethargic multi
tude to enthusiasm, are in Importance
mere ripples on the ocean of time.

A Hair Splitting Point.

After all the geeing and having upon
the part OF Colonel Bryan lie is careful
to say that he would not at present
withdraw the army from the Philippine
islands and the hair splitting point he is
sticking for is that the government
should assure the insurgents that this
country intends to let them have Il re-
public Of their own and then they would
be good. Nobody but congress has any
right TO give any such guarantee ana
the chances are that none will be given.
for the people of the islands are not
equal to conducting a government at
present and have not expressed any de-
sire to have a republic anyway. Aguin-
aldo has declared for a republic but he
and his followers are but one Of the
tribes OF the archipelago The United
States has assured the Filipinos time
and again that they will be given Il good
government and it is unnecessary to go
into any further assurances,

LAND RUINED BY IRRIGATION.
The Department of Agriculture Gives Out
information.
1I6iaHu 3
Fe. N. Il.

The Department of Agriculture dives Out
Information.
Secretary of Agriculture James Will
son. who has been visiting the west and
northwest, says:
MANY of the rich and beautiful val
leys of this great section are being
ruined by improper irrigation. The i'm
provident and improper use of water is
not only dangerous. but destructive, for
it brings out the alkaii and ruins richly
fertile lands. regard this question of
proper irrigation as one of the most i'm
portant presented for solution in this
country. 1t is one to the solving of
which the education of young men could
we'll be directed. 1t seems to me that
many of the young men who now de-
vote themselves to preparation for the
law, the pulpit and medicine tall over
crowded. could take up the subject of
soil culture to great advantage.
In the farmers bulletin of the de-
partment, Professor A. c. True, director
of experiments stations. says: 1T has
frequently been observed in the irrigat-
ed regions that soils which showed no
signs or only occasional small spots of
alkali when first brought under c%ultiva-
ton, have after the lapse of a compara-
lively few wears, become so widely i'm
pregnated with alkali as to render them
completely or in large part unfit for the
growth of the ordinary farm crops.
These Investigations indicate that
the trouble is due largely, ii not entire
ly, to injudiciouS or excessive irrigation.
Before irrigation was introduced the
salts were present in rather large
amounts, but we'll distributed through
out the soil, and not in such large guam
titles as to be injurious to crops. With
the introduction of irrigation, however,
water was applied in excessive amounts
to the higher land, and seeping through
to the lower soils carried with it the
soluble salts, which accumulated in ey-
cessive amounts in the latter, especially
where drainage was imperfect.
The bulletin of the division of soils
states that the open sandy lands, hav-
ing better underdrainage, are not likely
to be injured by a rise of salts except
from an excessive application of water
or in thelow places In the path of the
drainage system, especially when these
are underlaid, as they are liable to be
by the heavy gumbo soils. 1t thus APP
apears that the injury may not be due
to the local applications OF water, but to
the injudicious use of large quantities
of water on neighboring farms or in
places still farther away.

There is no doubt that when the Brit
ish take full possession of the Trans
vaal country as they intend to do. it
will be IA great deal better country than
it 10Y is, that is it will be better gov
erned and be developed more rapidly
than it ever would be by the moss-back
Beers who have not enterprise enough
to develop the wealth which attracts
the British. When it comes down to
the abstract right of the British to ac-
quire the Transvaal, there is not a shad-
ow OF right. But progress is the law
of nature as well as the law of modern
nations and all who stand in the way
are gradually pushed aside, justly or I'M
Justly, and q century later it seems to
have been for the best that might has
prevailed rather than right, and to have
brought the greatest good for the great
est number.

1t is q kindly feeling of humanity that

cause he stood alone against a whole

There is yet no well established poll
teal issue that is certain to be carried
into the campaign next year. Nobody
but Colonel Bryan is worrying about
free silver. The expansion discussion
may be ended before the campaign by
the establishment of a government
throughout the islands. Tariff is not
available. The trust topic cannot be
appropriated by either party exclusively.
Therefore while the November elections
may show the sentiment of the people
upon various matters, the same oues-
tions may not be before the people next

The premier Of Canada. Sir Wilfrid

The premier of Canada. Sir Wilfrid
Laurier. SAYS Canada is under no obliga-
tions to send even one regiment to the
Boer war and would have no right to
incur expense for that purpose without
an act of parliament. The premier is
evidently sore because England does not
back him up in his demand upon the
United States for an Alaskan port. BUT
his hurt feelings will not be alleviated
in the way he desires. Some of the
Canadian papers are dashing peppery
criticisms of the premier for not giving
Canada a chance to show loyalty.

Aguinaldo has a brother who is also
on the make. He recently stole $40, 00O
from the Filipino treasury and fled, ac-
c%ompanied by two servants. While he
slept the two men took the money and
skipped. Then the original thief re-
turned to weep upon his brothers neck,
was put under arrest and will be shot,
says Aguinaldo. As long as A%guinaldo
car have more printed and make the
natives take the currency, he should not
be so severe upon a family failing of
this sort.

The san Francisco papers announce
that Mr.. Nathan Bibo of that city has
been nominated as a candidate for SUI
peryisor on the Republican ticket. Mr..
Bibo. who has been a resident OF San
Francisco for about IA or Is years. was
during his boyhood and early manhood
for y or Is years a resident of New
Mexico. He was engaged in mercantile
pursuits in Bernalilo. He was univer-
sally respected for his integrity, straight
forwardness and business ability. He
was. during his residence in this terri
tory, a Republican in politics and did
excellent service for his party. He is
well remembered by many friends in
New Mexico who wish him the best of
success and hope for his election to the
office to which he has been nominated.
His very good record as a man and a
citizen in this territory is surety that
if elected. he will ill the office with
benefit and credit to the people and
honor to himself.

The Boer republics constitution pro-
vide that no Catholic and no Hebrew
shall hold office or have a voice in the
government. The Beers are religious
bigots, as intolerant of any religion but
their own as they are of foreigners.
Americans sympathize with them only
because the people of this country are
prone to sympathize with a weak ma
tion assailed by a European power, and
because they are about to be deprived
of their territory and their established
government even though it be not much
of a republic.

PRESS COMMENT.
BRYAN'S


Mr.. Bryan can now claim, on the GER
tificate of the Democratic state commit.
tee of New York. that he is the mat
ural and approved leader of the party in
the nation" But he must have a real
izing sense that he is so only because
the party can find no other. He repre-.
sents the ideas Of 1896, which were dis
tinctly his own ideas. The party has
so far, after diligent search, found no
new ones. 1t must have a leader. What
more natural" than to take him and
approve him? What will be done If
by any strange turn Of events the party
should have a chance of success is quite
another story. So far as human wisdom
can foresee, Mr.. Bryan can lead his
party only to a defeat more crushing
than that to whica he guided it in 1896.

CRIMINALS.
Houston Post

The reported intention of the legisla-
ture of one of the southern states to
diminish crime by adopting a parole plan
after a short term of penal servitude, in
case OF long term criminals, will hardly
prove successful. Men who are prone
and determined to commit crime with no
adequate provocation, and who exercise
no control W themselves, should not
be turned loose upon society on parole.
1t would result In thwarting the object
of the law in protecting the law-abiding
from the vicious element.
