recognition given Aguinaldo's forces by
our forces In Manila bay in the summer
OF '9S were true. He said the staten Mt

bearing the Philippine flag had pa ssod In

ments that at one time our forces had
turned over prisoners taken in a battle
on Subig bay to the Filipinos.

President Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, has got EN- bad.
He thus relieves his veXed spirit on the
expansion question:: What the Amer
lean workman does fear is that taxes
will be increased, the standing army
increased and the cost of living increas-
ed without a proportionate increase in
the value of his toll. After thousands
and thousands of our poor boys rot n
der the equatorial sur of these new
possessions: after the taxes eat up the
wages of the workingman and make
him no better off than the serfs of Eu
rope; after the people of these new
countries are given rights under the
free laws here without being fitted for
civilization and help make other laws
that will enthrall the body of labor,
perhaps those who are now shouting
expansion will not think that their i'm
perialism is such a great thing after
ALL" After all these things have hap
pened to the Americans, the final dis
solution of things mundane will at once
take place and the down-trodden peo-
pie will be at rest forever and a day.
President Gompers should change the
brand of his appetizer.

The Difference.
Silver City Enterprise

Our Democratic friends who make so
much ado about the ability and influence
of our Democratic delegate, Hon. II. b.
FERGUSON, should note the fact that Mr..
FERGUSON has been unable to bring any
relief to the people of southern Grant
county, who have been compelled to
bring their cattle owned or purchased
across the line by way of Juarez and Ell
Paso. All business for this section had
to be done through the Juarez custom
house. While Mr.. FERGUSON did every
thing in his power to remedy this great
hardship to our people, yet he accom-
plished nothing. When our Republican
delegate-elect, Hon. Pedro Perea, went
to Washington a few weeks ago, Colonel
Richard Hudson wrote him representing
the great wrong being done the people
of this section. Mr.. Perea immediately
explained the matter to Senior Romero,
the Mexican minister, who took the
proposition to headquarters of his home
government and obtained a promise that
the evil would be remcdied at once.

At a Christmas ball in Alabama one of
the young men present became enraged
because a young lady refused to dance
with him and he proceeded to kill two
persons and seriously wound tow others
before a ~peaceably inclined spectator
could put a bullet through his head.
Had that affair occurred in New Mex
leo the people of the eastern states
would lave been entertained with illus
trated articles in the sensational papers
telling how fashionable balls We're con-
Quoted in the wicked territory, and the
opponents of statehood would have
howled like a pack of coyotes over the
unfitness of the people for admission as
a state. 1t makes a wonderful differ
ence in what locality such things occur,
and that difference is always made
against New Mexico.

The Surrender OF II0iIO,

There is no denying that the surren-
der of Iloilo by the Spaniards to the Fill
ipino insurgents, apparently without
ton and complexities the problem of the
Philippines. Though the town of Iloilo
contains only some IL, 900 people, it is the
second port in the Philippines, and the
insurgent. or native possession of it is
thus far ~undisputed. The suggestion,
attributed to General Merritt, that
the surrender nay have been made col
lusively, or rather for the express pur-
pose of complicating the situation for
the United States, is entirely plausible,
but the general made rather a broad as
sertion in saying that it was the duty of
the Spanish commander to resist the in
surgents to the last gasp. Why should
the Spanish commander have lone so?
Everybody knows that the Spaniards
resent as unfair and ~treacherous the ex-
p~ansion of the expressions of the proto-
col respecting the Philippines to a claim
of sovereignty, ownership and possess
sion from a claim of right to be consult
ed in respect to control, disposition and
government Whatever the rights of
the Spaniards or of the United States
may really be under the protocol, there
is no doubt about the Spanish conten-
ton. There is thus also no doubt about
the view which a Spanish commander
of a remote and p%recarious Spanish de-
tendency would naturally take. He
would not only not facilitate, but he
would, possibly, hinder the transfer of
his post to the United States.
The Spanish commander, when sum-
moned by the insurgents to surrender,
even if he had been in a position to
make good his resistance, may very well
have p~araphrased the remark that is
attributed to Bismarck Upon the eastern
question, and have said that the differ
ence between an i%nsurgent and an
American possession of Iloilo was not
worth the bones of a single Catalonian
grenadier. He may even have cOnclud-
Nu lIlut II "a ~ liz VI
Spain, inasmuch as it was to the evident
disadvantage of the United States, that
Iloilo should be occupied by the forces
of the insurgents, who would thus be
enabled, with unexpected cOgency, to
dispute the title of the United States to
the archipelago.
That the administrsu zion does not in
tend to be tricked by this actioa OF the
Spanish commander at Iloilo is eridenc-
ed by the number IF troops Which are
being hurried to the Philippines by both
the western and eastern routes. With
the forces now at Manila ana those on
the way, the insurgents will be compell-
ed to surrender. but on the good will
and better counsel of the leading ma
tives, outside of A%guinaldo's circle, will
this government be dependent for
p%eaceable possession. The duty of this
country to hold the Philippines and give
the inhabitants a stable and kindly form
of government is plainly marked out,
and it is to be hoped hat the object to
be accomplished will not result in a
continued petty warfare with the ma
tives. But be that as it may, there will
be no Striking of duty by the great ma
jority of the American people.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 3

The attitude of the Republican party
of New Mexico has always been con-
sistent OF the question of the admission
of the territory as a state. We favored
the admission of the territory when the
Democratic party was united in their
opposition against it. We still favor
it's admission, believing that there is no
good and substantial reason for keeping
us out of the Union as a state and be-
lieve that this cal best be accomplished
by the election of a delegate to congress
who is in harmony with Republican
politics and principles.-Republican
Platform, New Mexico, 1898.
