PRESS COMMENT.
AN ACT TO BE APPLAUDED.

philadelphia Record.)
Even President Mckinley, who has
always been more of a politician than a
soldier, must have the credit Of doing
something to curb pension extrava-
gance. His appointment of Henry Clay
Evans, of Tennessee, as pension com-
missioner was one Of his most saga
cious public acts. Mr.. Evans, though a
southerner, was a Union soldier and a
thorough-going Republican. He has
proved himself something more-a cour-
ageous and conscientious public official.
BY his scrupulous r for the public
interest he has earned the good will of
the country and the enmity Of the pen
sion attorneys and the army Of unde-
servers who seek to be pensioners un-
der a loose administration of the pen
sion laws. Notwithstanding the howl
raised in consequence, Pension Commits
sioner Evans has succeeded in measur-
ably checking fraudulent advances SO
as to cut down payments and slightly
to decrease the number of names on the
rolls corresponding in a measure to the
annually increasing death rate. So far
the president has sustained him.

General Jiminez must have been con-
siderably downcast when Gen. Brooke
ordered that he be turned loose, after
an American official had him arrested
mingo to join the rebels, who are seek
ing a presidency for him. He had taken
some trouble to let it be known by what
boat he would depart. After all of his
planning to get held back from the land
that is calling for him, General Brooke's
order to let him go seemed cruel. But
the Jiminez general has not yet gone,
even if there are no strings on him

IMMENSE BREEDING FARM.


By the terms of the recent deal, J. J.
Hagerman acquires the entire northern
canal and all lands appertaining there
to, consisting of many thousands Of
acres. Mr.. Hagerman takes immediate
possession of the property. In an inter-
view to-day he stated that it was his
intention to begin the planting of alfal-
ia on such of this large tract as Is not
leased or sold and establish the largest
cattle breeding ranch in the territory,
if not in the United States. The entire
tract from Roswell to the town of Ha-
german embraces some of as fine alfal-
ia lands as can be found in the valley,
and every acre will be utilized for this
enterprise.

States may regard as necessary. But

Last Sunday an anarchist mob in
Paris amused itself by burning the con-
tents of a Catholic church under the
belief that priests are melting the out
cry against the Jews, because the Cath
Ollie church is supposed to be Jealous OF
the growing wealth and power Of that
race in France. All of the previous night
thousands of people on the streets were
shouting Down with the Jews!" Some
correspondents predict a religious wal
in France and another st. Bartholomew
massacre.

THE EVIL OF THE TRUST.
(St. Paul Dispatch.)

Trusts are in one respect a good deal
like other institutions-good or evil, ac-
cording as they are directed. A trust
that would reduce the cost of the neces-
saries of life to the workingman would
be a blessing to the country, and every
trust may do this II 1t chooses. The
trouble is that the average trust, after
having reduced the cost OF the article
to itself, by cutting out the middleman,
adds the saving to Its W account and
holds the price where 1t a And that
Is what makes the trust an octopus.

This month an alfalfa farm in Chaves
county was sold for $25, 900, or $50 per
acre for 500 acres. The same month
120, 900 acres of unimproved land in Col
fax county vas sold to stockmen for 70
company. Much Of this land will be
sown to alfalfa by the buyers, for their
cattle. Seventy-eent land that can be
made $50 land by converting it into an
alfalfa field is a good thing. There is
more of such land on the Maxwell
grant.

New Mexico has sent about fifty re-
cruits to Fort Logan, and Arizona has
sen about seventy-five. Both terrific
ries have furnished several times as
many men as their quota called for, and
will furnish more If the demand con-
tinues. Perhaps the loyalty of a people
so ready to join in the battles Of a ma
ton that still denies them the political
privileges of statehood may after awhile
prove the Injustice of holding them as
pro%bationers for over half a century.

THREE HUNDRED TRUSTS.

About 300 trusts are now in an active
state of extortion throughout the coun-
try, compelling in every in
stance to swell the dividends of their
stockholders.
In the face of such fact, the man who
will persist in saying that the trusts are
good for the country has a bottomless
profundity of belief in human guilt

The Greenfield Gazette is against re-
nomination of its ex.associate editor.
Herbert G. Parsons, by the Republicans as
senator from the franklin Hampshire dis.
tTict. Mr. Parsons has made a good
record in both branches of the Massa-
chusetts legislature. He misrepresented
his constituents, however, by refusing to
vote for Senator Lodge, and he has recent
ly made public speeches denouncing Presi-
dent Mckinley and his policy. The
Gazette says in closing its leading editorial: !:
sin reviewing the matter, weight will
be given TO the influence which would be
exerted by the endorsement of Mr.. Par
sons by denomination. Such action would
be hailed all over the land as an "anti"
victory and 1t would be counted as re-
buke to the President and those who up
hold him. We are quite sure that the
majority of Republicans in the district
will come to the conclusion that these are
reasons sufficient to withhold their sup
port from Mr.. Parsons. He has chosen
an independent course and cannot reason
ably complain if the voters take this
method of showing their disapproval."

the centennial anniversary of the settling

Vt. An essential feature of this celebra-
tion is the plan and purpose to make it, so
far as practicable, a reunion of the several
branches of the Grout family-the de-
scendants of Capt. John Grout, who came
from England to America about 1884
Many business firms in Germany and in
England, which were preparing exhibits
for the Paris exposition of 1900, have given
notice of withdrawal since the Dreyfus
verdict was announced, and in English
cities associations have been formed to in
duce the government to withdraw recogni-
tion of the fair unless France annuls the
verdict. In this country several members
of Congress have declared their intention
to move Immediately on the assembling of
Congress for the annulment of legislation
and appropriations for the exposition.
But sober second thought shows that
such action by any government would be
unwise. The Boston school board has
voted to stop all work in the preparation
OF school exhibit for the exposition.
