The days of the Chinese empire are
evidently numbered. For $500 years
that vast, teeming hive of misdirected
industry has preserved its own peculiar
identity and national individuality. and
steadily refused assimilation in any de-
gree with more advanced nations. This
empire has stood stock still these centu-
rics, living according to the principle
that what was good enough for their
fathers was good enough for them.
Every attempt to advance these queer
people has been fought, and there has
been complete isolation from other ma
tions. The result of such a policy could
result in but one way when the time
should arrive, as that time is apparently
at hand. The great powers are on the
point of siezing the Chinese empire, and
dividing it among themselves, perhaps
leaving a generous slice to Uncle Sam.
When the partition has been effected,
the Chinese will find themselves COM
PEELED to adopt the ways and manner of
the despised ~''barbarians," and their Pc
culiar civilization will be a thing Of the
dreary, misty, past. China must become
under the new order of things. a more
attractive country, and the greatest
business possibilities will be ever present
there for capital, If it is well directed.

Foreign Loan and Building Associa.
lions.
Roswell Register.

The experience of the average holder
of stock in a national building and loan
association. and, in fact, almost every
one who has had any experience with
them, is such as to enable them to heart
lily endorse the proposed legislation at
Santa Fee, relative to taxing such associ-
ations. Roswell citizens have been bled
by two of these thieving concerns. One
young man, whose father obtained a loan
seven or eight years ago from a Denver
association, borrowed money at IL per
cent. last week to pay off the remainder
of the loan, because he found that he
had been paving 100 per cent, and the
officers of the association could not even
make an intelligent guess as to when he
would finish paying the loan. For every
dollar they have loaned in the territory
they have taken hundreds out OF it, and
their sole object has been to deceive
patrons not familiar with their methods
of doing business, and take their money
without rendering an equivalent. BY
all means tax them, and tax them well.

Substantial Prosperity.

Trade conditions in the United States
continue to improve, and the bank state
ments issued the past month Indicate
that the m of the country is
spreading in every direction. Every
day brings reports of an increase in the
distribution Of wealth through increased
wages in one trade after another. and in
one locality after another.
A gratifying feature of the expansion
of business is the return of prosperity
to the cotton manufacturing centers Of
New England. For several years past
strikes. occasioned by the reduction of
wages in the eastern cotton mills, have
been numerous. and also the subject of
many theoretical editorials and speech
es by free traders. But there has
been a decided change for the better
and the scale of wages paid cotton opera
tors has been increased from 10 to Is
per cent within the last three weeks.
In the steel industry in the middle vest
ern states a like condition obtains.
while in the western states, where the
return of prosperity began two years
ago, industries of all kinds are prosper
ing beyond the expectations of the most
sanguine.
CThe only section of the country which
has not yet caught up with prosperity's
procession is that of the south, east of
the Mississippi river and below the 37th
parallel. Years of low prices for cotton
and the late blizzard have offset in
creased business in manufacturing and
mining. but that portion of the Union
has q great foundation of natural
wealth, and in a short time, or 30 soon
as the planters realize the Importance
of diversified crops, will take its place
In the front rank with the prosperous
north and west.
The encouraging fact of the present
development Is that it comes from and is
based upon sound conditions, aud that

Experience is a great school master.
and in the recent Spanish American
course of tuition through which this
nation has just passed, experience has
proven especially valuable in many re-
spects. True. it has not taught the
Democratic party anything, but then
that was not expected. The Democratic
party can no more be taught sound poll
tics, than can the burro by which, it is
so fifty represented, and all attempts at
enlightening that uncanny c%ritter are so
much time and labor wasted. But the
Republican party has largely p%rofited
by this experience, and the administra-
ton in particular. The latest evidence
of this was the recent raid of congress
men and prominent politicians on the
White house and War department for
commissions in the reorganized army for
sons, nephewS, cousins, and other rela-
tions and friends. 70 this noble column
of assault was added as an auxiliary
force, about three-quarters OF the Of
ficers of the recently mustered out vol
unteer regiments. all of whose more or
less patriotic hearts beat warmly for the
dear old flag and-a commission.
But the assaulting party ran plump
into a snow bank; they met with a mar
row-chilling frost that clogged their
breath and made them pause in blank
establishment. The president would
have none of them. They imagined
from the experience of a year ago that it
would be papa's sons all over again; but
instead they received the stony hand and
the marble heart, and one and all. like
the rich man in the scriptures, went
away sorrowful. There are 1880 COM
missions to be dealt out under the re-
organization, if the president sees fit to
reorganlze that way. But it seems that
he can reorganize, for the present at all
events, without increasing the number
of officers, and he appears disposed to
operate along this line. The genial
army of applicants has been given. to
understand that when their services are
needed they will be called for; and in
the NEAR time, the trained men in the
ranks of those regiments that have seen
actual war service are beginning to feel
that they stand ONE show of promotion
under the REIMBURSEMENT.

Poor old Spain is promised more
trouble, and it will not down, although
she shoots all of the admirals and gener-
ais who were so unfortunate as to find
themselves forced to submit to the PROV
ess Of American arms. Pretender Don
Callos is more threatening than ever,
and is relying for active assistance from
the returned and returning troops from
Cuba and the Philippines. If he can
enlist these under his banner and starts
in on a well managed campaign. the
foreigner queen regent stands a good
chance of being forced to flee, and a
genuine Spaniard will sit upon the Span
ish throne. The present Austro-Span-
ish administration has every reason tC
feel alarmed.

The lord high chancellor of Great
Britain is very much disturbed over the
state of the treasury under his control.
In casting up accountsit is found thatthe
revenue estimates are far below the re-
quirements of expenditures, and the in
dependent and self-assertive Englishmen
want good reasons for such a condition.
The situation in England is such that
the authorities fear to increase taxation,
and the dickens is to pay generally.
Judging from what is to be learned
through the Geographic news, Great
Britain has been subjected TO a term of
C~levelandism, and every body in the
United States knows what that means.

The county board has appointed a
commission composed of Messrs. George
A. Campfield and Alphonse Fleischer
for the purpose of making a thorough
examination of the county books. Both
of these gentlemen are expert account
ants and their report will be received by
the public with the most implicit conf
dence. This is a very necessary work
and one that will meet the appreciation
of all classes Of u people. There is
no suspicion that any of u public Of
icials have gone wrong, but the people
have a right to know how their affairs
are managed and where their money
goes, and the only way to get at these
facts is through a thorough ov%erhauling
Of the books. 1t is generally believed
that everything is all right, but II there

it practically includes improvement in
all the staples. crops. commodities and
manufactured products alike, in which
prices are advancing steadily because of
a larger domestic and foreign demand
tor American goods. With the increase
of prices commanded by the products of
the farms. mills and mines, has come a
corresponding increase in the rate of
wages paid the wage earners, an in
crease which has ever resulted in the
increase of the wealth of the country.
Formerly the main surplus of the eX-
ports of the country was derived from
the sale of wheat and cotton, and this
surplus was offset by the demand which
existed in the United States for foreign
manufactures. Within the last few
years there have been added to the cx-
ports. petroleum, provisions, iron and
steel, copper and Il general line of manu-
features. while the exports of the old
time staples have been increased. EN-
ports have gained everywhere and i'm
ports have decreased. On the other
hand, the purchasing power of the peo-
pie of the United States has increased
and the population is rapidly growing,
thus opening new markets in America
for American goods.
These are some of the salient features
of the present era of expansion of
business, which could never be claimed
for former Blooms. For this stability of
business conditions, the country is in
debted to protection, sound money and
a good government, all of which have
resulted from a Republican administers
ton of national affairs.
