MANY NEW

an Able and Progressive Man
agenlent.

North Carolina has during the last de-
cade manifested more spirit OF progress
and enterprise than at any other period
Of her history. Evidences of substantial
prosperity are becoming abundant. and
industry, the handmaiden of civilization,
is exercising her potent influence. Man
ufactories have sprung into existence,
one of the surest harbingers of the
awakening TO the enterprise that is
everywhere characterizing this progress
sive age. In the history of cities from
the days of Tyre and Thebes the first
stimulus towards prosperity has been
from the building of manufactures, and
this is emphasized literally Ill North
Cardinals case. An all-importunt fac
tor in the development are the Juanita

A Democrat With Business Sense.

Hon. John Barrett, whom President
Cleveland SEN to Siam as minister,
knows something about the trade sit
uation in Asia. He created a sensation
at the state industrial convention at
Dallas, Tex, last week by declaring in
strong terms that it was for the inter-
ests of the south to have the Philippine
islands retained. He stated that prior
to Admiral Dewey's victory the Asiatic
nations considered the United States
only a third rate power, but afterward
there was a change, and the countries
over there wished to get into closer re-
lations with the people Of this nation.
Said he:
IF we meet our present unavoidable
responsibilities in the Philippines,
which have resulted from imperious cir
cumstances and not from a var of con-
quest, courageously and successfully,
we shall become forever the first politi-
cal, moral and material power of all the
world. If we quail, shirk or withdraw,
we will not only be relegated perma-
Henlly TO the rear IN the race VI INA
tions, but if in the future we wish to
regain our lost position, commerce, in
fiuence and glory, we would be COM
PEELED to spend ten times as much as
the present conflict in the Philippines
can cost us 1t is not an issue of prac-
tical politics. 1t is one of industrial de-
velopment-through which the south
will realize their great prosperity"

no law in New Mexico under which a
criminal libel could be reached and a
person responsible for the same could
be punished, will not help any of these
editors should any aggrieved person
outside of the fourth judicial district
choose to bring such an action. The
New Mexican does not know the views
of the other judges in the territory, but
it does know that the very point sus-
tanned by Judge Leland in the Bull case
was argued before other judges and was
decided to be not well taken. Some of
the best lawyers in the territory are of
the opinion that common law holds and
controls in criminal libel cases. In the
Bull case, the New Mexican is informed,
no effort was made to controvert the po-
sition taken therein, i'll which demurrer
was sustained by Judge Lelan.. and il
dictment quashed.

Mexican believes in decent. fair and

1t believes the latter to be a crime, and
that such crime should be punished with
rigor and severity. 1t is a long lane that
has no turn, and some of these papers
and their editors will find themselves in
the meshes of the law when they least
expect it, and where, perchance, they
will learn that there is a law in the land
that will reach such crimes.

American Shoes Abroad.

BEGINNING Of the End.

The center of Aguinaldo's operations
is in the Tarlac region. Just now GEN
eral Lawton is busy establishing a per-
manent base at San Isidro and arrang-
ing for the transportation of supplies
from that point to his army, wherever
1T may be, which is to go to Tarlac. That
means that flying expeditions are not
to be made only for the purpose of
driving out the Filipinos and then leav-
ing the country to be again invaded by
the insurgents. When the new regi-
ments arrive they will find arrange
ments made for advancing them to in
terror points to stay. General Lawton
will then proceed to drive the Filipinos
from every point of advantage and
keep them from returning. They will
also be lucky if thew are not promptly
surrounded and made to surrender or be
exterminated. There is little doubt that
they will lay down their arms when
they see no direction in which they can
run without coming into close contact
with the American forces. While Gen
mand, it is evident that General Lawton
will have carte blanche to go after the
fugitive insurgents, and he will as GER
tainly round them up as he followed
Geronimo into the Sierra Madres and
compelled him to surrender.

Profits in AppIes.

With 500 acres of apples coming into
bearing this year, the Pecos Valley Or
chald Company at Roswell will soon be
able to demonstrate the a%daptability of
that part of New Mexico for this branch
of horticulture on a commercial scale.
The company will have five car loads Of
fruit this year, and as New Mexico ap-
pies sell for from 2 to 8 cents per pound
at the orchard, the revenue for the sea-
son will be large. And as the apple crop
of the valley has not failed in fifteen
years, and the trees which have borne
that long now Deal as heavily as ever,
this big orchard will soon pay for itself
and make its owners rich, One old or
chard at Roswell produces this year
1000 pounds of apples per acre, which
will sell for $500 or more. But cutting
the future yield of the big orchard to
an average of but 5000 per acre would
indicate an annual return of 800, 900
from this property. Half of that even
will be enough to stimulate the plant
ing of other big orchards.

GOEBEL'S RAILWAY SCHEME.

NtNdllNay <hSS'P
1t is seldom that even IN Kentucky a
political controversy reaches the stage
of bitterness which characterizes the
present gubernatorial campaign of the
Hon. William Goebel. Goebel Is a cheer
full demagogue, and is trying to per-
suade the voters of Kentucky that his
record as a professional antagonist OF
the Louisville & Nashville is such as to
entitle him to be governor of the state.
The railway men of the state seem TO
be solidly against him, and he has po-
litely told them from h stump that
they are slaves and hirelings." When
this line of argument seemed TO fail he
changed his tactics, and told the Slaves
and hirelings'' that if they would make
him governor he would abolish double
headers on all railways in the state.
Double headers make a great political
issue. 1t would be hard to find one more
absurd or one better fitted to the polit-
ical caliber of Goebel.

the queen is not likely to live long

FILIPINOS.
Chicago Inter-O cean.)

There was no reason why amy Amer
lean should side with the rebellious
Sioux Indians against the American
army. There is still less reason why
any American should side with the re-
bellious Filipinos against the American
army in Luzon. Sitting Bull was at
least true to his followers. The Filipino
leaders are not and never have been.
After organizing a rebellion against
Spanish authority, Aguinaldo, for in
stance, sold out his people for $435, 600.
Carried back from Punishment to Luzon
on the promise, voluntarily made by
him, that he would do all things posi-
bic to promote a feeling friendly to the
United States, Aguinaldo organized a
rebellion against American authority.
Posing before the world as a friend of
liberty and peace, he began war against
the Americans, as he formerly had be
gum it against the Spaniards-for black
mail.

The volunteers who were used to
steaks fresh from the refrigerators of
butcher shops made considerable roar
over having to eat canned beet on the
Cuban trip, and politicians and
papers demanded an investigation,
which resulted in proving that while it
was not what the troops would prefer,
it was not rotten food. The press Wig
orously declared that Great Britain
would not accept such provision for her
troops. But that government has just
given an order to the American packers
for 5000, 600 pounds of timed beef. In
America it is called canned beef. Like
the rose, it smells as sweet under one
name as another. And probably no kick
viii be heard from the British troops
over this ration. They are used to it.
