cause of its extended natural resources,
and its coming Importance az the loca-
ton of the coming ship canal. SO strong
is the feeling that General Estrada,
governor of one of the coast provinces,
and a ma of influence, has publicly de-
clared thai the annexation movement
would have the support of President Ze-
laya in his next message to the Nicara-
guam congress.
The natural ~leanings of the people
there have for some time been toward
union with this country. Years ago the
police organization in their larger cities
was modelled after that of New York,
even to the uniform, and photographs
of N~icaraguan metropolitan scenes were
shortly thereafter shown in the United
States of native police thus clad, and
printed in the Chicago Inter Ocean. At
ter the next local congress meets, action
may be expected looking toward annex
alton to the United States, and then
there ma be another star to add to the
flag, and the canal can be built on en-
tirely American soil. The remainder of
Central America may be expected to
follow the example of Nicaragua, as
when, with the active introduction there
of American civil and religious liberty
and the American public school system,
and the advantages of an advanced civ
ilization, the adjoining states will GER
tainly be affected to a marked degree.

The Hitherto Impossible Now Possible.

Cecil Rhodes, the great African
financier, is in Europe e~ndeavoring to
raise funds with which to build a rail-
way and steamboat line from Cape
Town clear through to the Cairo, Egypt,
a distance of about 5000 miles. The
will involve many millions. Some 1,40O
miles have already been built north
from Cape Town, and water routes by
lake and river will be intermittent with
the rail route, so that there is sure to
be diversity in travel. Branch lines
into the interior are intended; in fact,
the plan includes a colossal railroad
system that shall open the dark CONT
nent so that it will no longer be called
by that name. Rhodes has been in
great cahoots with the German emperor
while in Germany, and believes he can
enlist the financial sympathies of con-
tinental bankers to such an extent that
"all aboard for Cape Town" may yet
be heard in the railroad depot in Cairo.
There is a good opportunity for a SINH
lar enterprise on this side of the wa
ter, in the extension of the Mexican
Central south from Puebla through
Central America, and down the line of
the Andes as far south as may be de-
sired, or On the eastern side Of the con-
tinent, though this latter would in
volve water connections in crossing the
great rivers. In this remarkable age of
progress and enterprise schemes hith-
erto believed impossible have been
ment, and one now has to think twice
or oftener ere saying "this is impossi-

China has refused to grant Italy a
coaling station, and the refusal may
cause a war. The stronger nations have
all gone to China and asked for d piece
of pie, and have received 1t, after dis
playing the club they held behind their
backs. Italy, which has been ruined by
her ambitions to be one of the great
powers, thought she would try the same
game on simple old China. But China
has learned a lesson from the Turk, and
displayed a firmness toward Italy that
disconnected the latter. In Italy they
are in a quandary now, for their
finances are in such a shape that a for
eign war would result in bankruptcy
and revolution at home, and yet the
Italian pride has been hurt by having
been refused what has been readily
granted to Germany, Great Britain,
Russia and France.

In all the other states and terrific
ries, excepting Alaska and perhaps
Wyoming, the mining possibilities have
nearly all been determined by prospec-
tors, and whatever is worth developing
and much that is not worth developing
is now in the hands of organized CAPT
tall. In New Mexico, however, there is
still vast undeveloped mining wealth
and there are untold paying possibili
ties for the investment of capital. The
New Mexican is not speaking without
reason when it prophesies an unprece-
denied development of mining proper
ties in New Mexico within the next
few decades. The attention of eastern
capital is being drawn to the mining
wealth Of the territory, and a combina-
ton of capital and pluck is SUR to make
New Mexico the leading mining state
of the Union.

NO NEW PARTY.
The Probable in the Campaign Of 1900.

tChlcagO IlmeS-HefalQ.)
1t is not probable that enough gold
standard Democrats could be induced to
jeopardize the cause of sound currency
and the national credit by forming a
separate party on the issues of "impe-
rialism" or trusts" The issue of i'm
perialism'' annot be successfully raised
for the reason that the public mind
will refuse to confound the unavoidable
consequences of the war with any So
called Imperial policy. And, as for
the trusts, the next national Republican
platform is certain to contain a plank
vigorously demanding new and effective
Federal legislation for the prevention
and punishment of combinations form
ed for the purpose of destroying compe-
tition and for restraining trade.
There will be no new Democratic par
ty in 1900.

The war in the Philippines has been
no holiday excursion for the American
soldiers. From Manila to Malolos, a
campaign of less than a month, several
hundred Americans have been killed,
wounded or succumbed to disease, al
though the loss at none of the engage
ments exceeded twenty or thirty men.
1t was a repetition of the Battle Of the
Wilderness on a miniature scale, only
that the advance to Malolos was not as
we'll contested as the march to Rich
mond. Nevertheless, the soldiers Of to-
day had to display greater grit and
more determined mettle even than did
the boys of "a. Fighting a savage but
well organized and well armed foe in a
foreign land, in a deadly climate and
through jungles and swamps is not like
fighting a civilized enemy, and with re-
endorsements and unlimited supplies
within comparatively easy reach. The
American soldier is the peer Of any 9TH
err soldier in the world, and the world
has reluctantly learned within the last
ten months to acknowledge the fact.

More Fairy Stories.

The Lordsburg Liberal has the fol-
lowing paragraph about the New Mexi-
can:
at is rumored that j.. M. Hawkins,
who at one time was part owner of the
Silver City Enterprise, later editor of
the Eddy Argus, after which he edited
the Ell Paso Herald for a year, and since
then has been engaged in newspaper
work in Los Angeles, has purchased an
interest in the Santa Fe New Mexican,
and will take charge of that paper.
Colonel Max. Frost. the well-known edi-
tor of the New Mexican, will devote his
entire time to his rapidly growing law
business"
This is all very nice, and like a wife,
it might be labeled important, if true
But it lacks that important element,
That Mr.. Hawkins will take a position
on the New Mexican is correct, but he
| has not purchased an interest, and will
simply take an editorial position on the
New Mexican staff. Colonel Frost will
retain editorial charge of the New Mex
lean.

CHANGING over the city papers, both
those of the east and the west, Il finds
that the situation wanted" adyertis-
ing columns are dWindling in size,
while the help wanted columns are
growing in length. This is a sign that
most men have employment and that
they are satisfied with their positions.
Classifying the situations wanted" ad-
v~ertisements, such as remain, they are
found to be mostly advertisements for
white shirt bosom jobs, a class of
work hal is always in demand, in hard
times as Well as good. Too many boys
grow up nowadays without a trade and
with the idea that manual work is dis
honorable. The farmer as well as the
laboring man generally, are over-am-
bilious With their sons, and instead OF
teaching them farming or ii trade, send
them to business college, academy on
university, whether the boys have an
inclination or talent for business, a pro-
~fession, or not. The result is an army
to do manual work, and vainly trying
to crowd into the congested ranks of
clerks, bookkeepers and professional
men. By all means give every boy the
best education the country affords, but
at the same time make a practical
farmer of a partical mechanic out of
farmer or a practical mechanic out of
or in hard times, as this country has
had, the farmer and mechanic will find
employment ten times before the man
after a white shirt BOSOM job will get
a single chance at employment.

MKIELEY AND HOBART IN 1900.
An Unprejudiced View of the Political
Situation.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.l
We confess that we can see no force in
the argument that Mr.. Hobart should
nex year-a ticket which now seems
| certain to have Mr.. Mckinley at it's
head. Mr.. Hobart has impressed him
self upon both the Congress- and he
country at large. The vice presidency,
under his administration, has become a
place of dignity and influence. He has
invested it with character and force.
He has become a conspicuous factor in
our scheme of government. Vice presi-
dents do not usually make a mark. They
cut no figure. They come and go, and
leave no trace behind them.
Mr.. Hobart, however, has convinced
the country of his personality and
weight, and shown us that the office he
fills is one of possible usefulness and
potency. Why should not Mr.. Hobart
be nominated next year with MI. Me-
Kinley? Those who regard the vice.
presidency as a matter of no import
ance Tan logically accept Hill. lilooe
who think the office should be dignifed
and elevated can surely support the
man who has done so much to realize
their views. 1t has been offered as an
argument that the second nomination
of a vice-president would be a violation
of precedent and custom. Even If this
were true, it would prove only thai the
rule is stupid. But, as it happens, it is
not true. Vice presidents have been re-
nominated more than once in our his
tory. The only question is that of the
individuals merit, and in that view of
the matter there is everything to be said
in Mr.. Hobart's favor.
Altogether, we approve of Mckinley
and Hobart for next year. 1t was a
winning ticket in 1896 against the larg-
est Democratic vote ever cast in this
country. 1t will be the strongest ticket
the Republicans can set up in 1900.

The Denver papers are entirely given
over to local politics, of which a great
mixture Is presented each morning and
evening before the Denver public. The
News and the Post, previously bitter
enemies, have kissed and made up, and
united forces to fight the corporation
trusts, which. these papers claim are
trying to swamp and swallow the city,
and the Republican and Times have
Joined hands in support Of these alleged
harpies that wait to fasten on the mu-
nicipal vitals. The News and Post, but
particularly the Post, have the best ar
fists and the best fighting qualities, and
have succeeded in giving the local po-
litical situation such a stirring up as it
never had before. Even men like ex-
Sheriff George Graham, who was
thought to be a political has-been, are
rising from their official graves and
waxing warm in the struggle. The COM
ing city election promises to witness a
contest that will make ven New York
politicians stare.

In many parts of the country the
opinion still prevails that in New Mex
leo and Arizona hold-ups are an every
day occurrence, and murders are so fire.
quent that they pass by unnoticed. The
fact is, thai compared with many othel
states, New Mexico is a very peaceable
and law-abiding state. Take Santa Fe,
for instance. While We read daily of
robberies and murders in almost any
other part of the United States, not a
single serious crime has occurred in this
city for quite a long while.

Some of the Democratic papers in
New Mexico think a great mistake was
made by the voters in this territory in
electing a Republican legislature. II
these papers will compare the record
made by the New Mexico legislature
with hat made by the Arizona legisla-
ture, which was strongly Democratic,
they will have to admit that if the vot-
worse Legislature than the one just ad-
journed they would have to elect one
that had a Democratic majority strong
enough to override a governors veto.
