Coming Americas Way.

The last monthly treasury report is
sued at Washington is a little burdened
with figures, but as none of them are
doleful, the story is interesting read
ing, except to the calamity class. In
1893 the business losses from failures
footed in millions just 346; in 1896 the
sum was 226, and in 1897 fully 154. The
mex year the amount was only $50 mil
lions-a decrease of go per cent in five
years, and of so per cent in the two
years since the Mckinley election. Out
of 367 millions of dollars worth of i'm
ports in the eight months ending with
January, 16 millions covered the value
of free manufactured goods, and so mil
lions the dutiable manufactured goods.
In the. same period in 1897 only II mil
lions were collected or imports and last
year ia millions for the month, show
ing hat the people are again able to
buy.
Exports for the same period were 1877
millions, of which So per cent, or sos
millions, were of agricultural products,
and Is per cent, or 1872 millions, We're of
manufactured goods.
The imports of gold increased over
the eight months of the previous year
from SO to go millions of dollars, and net
exports of silver reached Is millions in
| value.
1t will be remembered that in 1898 we
We're exporting gold at the rate OF ~

The Political Situation in Santa Fe Again.

The result of yesterdays election for
city officers clearly shows the ultimate
outcome of factional rows and blame
fool political tactics. Through he ac-
ton of a few hot heads and political
indictments the organization of the Re-
publican party in this city has been
disrupted, the party defeated at the
polls, when there vas not a ghost of a
chance for the Democrats had there
been a little common sense and some de-
cency used by the would-be bosses of
the city politically.
And the whole trouble arises from
jealousy and from revenge, based upon
nothing more nor less than a desire to
read few men out of the party, who
for years have borne the expenses of
organization, fought the battles, and
placed the very tyros, who are now ar
rogating to themselves the right to rule
or ruin, in a position to exert sufficient
influence to do that. Nor is that all,
These same ingrates declare that they
| will carry their fight on until the cleo
| ton of 1900, and hat at that time they
| will teach the Republicans of the coun-
ty who are the coming men.
Coming men of the kind are not want
ed in any party, although in this in
stance there is no desire on the part OF
the regular Republicans to drive them
| out of the party. However, they have
| become arrogant, quarrelsome and dis
| turbers. Impatient of disappointment
unwilling to accept the mandates of {
| majority of the party, acting on the
principle that they owe no allegiance tt
party principles, they are bringing thu
| party in this city to ruin and giving ait
| to Democrats. 1t is to be hoped and alst
| trusted that they will think better o
their actions and declared intentions
and regain their political equilibrium il
time to prevent trouble within the rank
of the party in 1900. They may imagin
that they have demonstrated their pow
er sufficiently to dictate the nomination
of candidates and policy in the future
but they should remember that there
is a future to deal with, and the tim'
will come when they will bitterly regre
their actions of the past two weeks.

The Trust Craze.

In the last six months trusts have
been incorporated in New Jersey the
capitalization If which foots up ove
four billions of dollars. The sum in
cludes little but the common stock that
is to be sold, the preferred stock being
kept by the inside operators. Some of
these trusts own no property or bust
ness whatever as yet, but expect to cor
ner some industry with the money of
stockbuyers. Many Of the trusts are
not included in the above aggregate,
as their stocks are not yet on the mar
ket. All the actual money of the globe
would not be enough to pay a dividend
of one per cent annually on all of the
trust stock now in existence. In Eng
land the same rage for trusts prevails.
Many of them will fail to sell stock, but
others will find victims. Few can pay
dividends on the watered stock, and a
collapse will come. The banks are not
disposed to lend support to the assert
ment of trusts, and it is the people
whom the trust promoters expect to
play upon with hopes of enormous prof
it's, such as have accrued in some of the
big combinations shrewdly managed.

Unwarranted Complaint.

The Denver Post Is still worrying over
the alleged injustice to the squatters on
the Maxwell Grant in this territory. 1t
goes as far as to say that the general
land office, the department of the inte-
rior, congress and the United States
supreme court, have been instrumental
in wronging the first settlers in what
is now included in the northern part of
the grant. 1t is true that through some
ones blunder some of these settlers I'M
Willingly settled on land included in the
Maxwell grant, but an investigating
committee which considered the mat
ter has recommended to con-
gress hat some sort Of relief
be granted these settlers, which
will undoubtedly be done. The Maxwell
Land Grant company, which has done
very much for the development of
Northern New Mexico, Is also disposed
to be very liberal toward the settlers
who have no legal or indeed equitable
claims. They settled there with the full
knowledge that these lands were pri-
vate property, held under direct titles
from the United States, which had
been passed upon by the United States
supreme court and there confirmed. The
lamentations of the Post are therefore
uncalled for and meant merely to stir
up bad feeling against the Maxwell
Land Grant company and the federal
authorities.

New York Democrats are spatting as
to whether they shall eat dollar dinners
or ten-dollar layouts. Until Mckinley
was elected the live question with New
York Democrats was not what sort of a
dinner they should eat, but whether
they could eat. They had not the dol
lar, and saw no way of getting it, even
If Bryan succeeded in cutting the price
to so cents. In the three months ending
in March the inspector of factories In
New York found 1913 new firms engaged
in business, and 100 establishments
that had closed had r%eopened. Also that
1876 places had added 1882 men to the
list of wage earners. 1t is no wonder
the Gotham Democrats can now have
spreads.

The greatest collapse Of the year is
due when the copper bubble burts. The
prices Of copper stocks are inflated,
production is increasing, and dividends
are not growing in size or frequency,
The majority of stock buyers expect to
sell at the top notch. When they try to
do so, down will go prices, which have
been boosted 400 per cent within four
months. Owners of copper claims who
have fair offers should sell, because the
who wish to organize stock selling
schemes, will not see many birthday

Bulletins issued by the marine hos
pital corps show that during the past
few months small pox has existed in al
most every state in the Union. I'm
doubleday the contagion has been
spread by soldiers returning from Span
ish countries, although in the south
west it may have come in from Mexico.
Small pox has not been epidemic in any
American city, because sanitary pre-
cautions and public cleanliness have
prevented. Probably Los Angeles has
recorded more cases than any other
city, nearly 100 having ben reported
there, with a mortality of about Is per
cent. Los Angeles, however, has a pop
ulation of over 100, 900. In the same Pc
Rod in which the plague has prevailed,
there have been more cases of other
specific diseases than Of small pox.
There has been no epidemic, and prob
ably the majority of the residents did
not take the matter seriously enough to
be vaccinated. 1t has not been more
fatal than typhoid fever or diphtheria.

A MEAN TRICK.

Mr.. Brook and MIR. Rivers Scarcely
Speak to Each other Now.
Brooks is somewhat particular rs to
the quality OF the smoking tobacco he
uses. He buys a certain mixture which
comes in ornamented tin boxes.
A week or two ago he observed his
consumption of this tobacco had nearly
doubled.
When he made this discovery, his
suspicious fell upon Rivers.
He keeps his smoking tobacco in q
certain drawer of his desk, and Rivers
was the only man likely to have med
died with the things in that desk.
The other night, after Rivers had
gone home, Brooks opened a new box Of
that tobacco, took out about half of it
and proceeded to doctor the remaining
portion.
He procured several dozen small rub
Der bands.
These he cut with a pair Of sharp
shears into small bits. He mixed these
bits with the tobacco, stirring the stuff
till the particles were we'll distributed
throughout the mass.
Then he hunted about for other good
smoking material.
He found an old leather glove in Riv-
ers' desk.
Tearing of the fingers, he cut them
into email shreds and added them to
the mixture.
Not entirely satisfied with this, he
cut q generous section from an old oiled
rag which he had borrowed from a
typewriter young man on the next floor,
and when properly reduced to fragments
1t went to swell the grand total in the
box, now nearly full.
The mixture, when thoroughly stirred
up, looked perfectly innocent and could
not have been distinguished, without a
microscopic examination, from Brooks
favorite brand Of smoking tobacco.
He put the box back in Its accustomed
drawer and calmly awaited events.
A day or two after this he noticed
that the box had been opened and q
good sized pipeful taken out.
That box of Brooks favorite smoking
tobacco, the celebrated Hanky Panky
mixture, has not been disturbed since.
But there ia a furtive look in Rivers
eye that BODIES no good to Brooks. -

PRESS COMMENTS.
MR.. MCKINLEY IN 1900.

philadelphia North American.)
He is the logical candidate of the Re-
publicans. Nc national leader rivals
him in his claim to the honor; and, in
deed, as he stands for certain issues
which the party has adopted, and which
are yet pending, there can be no other
name seriously considered for the Of
flee. Moreover, he has the confidence
of the people and of the leaders of the
party, and to withhold from him the
denomination which he has earned
would be to open the doors to several
rival claimants, whose contests for the
nomination might result in serious
harm to the unity and harmony of the
organization.
AS to the nominee for vice president,
Mr.. Hobart has filled hat office we'll,
and there is no apparent reason for a
change now; but the exigencies of poll
tics may make evident the desirability
of nominating another man one year
hence, in which even no real difficulty
ought to be encountered in reaching a
decision satisfactory to all.

would be were England herself prepar-

risks would be taken did they believe
Cubans are to control the policy by a
local republic. The island will fall to

President Mckinley has well deserved
denomination at the hands of his party.
He has done more than any president
since Lincoln to make his term memo
rable. The determination with which
he pressed the wal to a glorious con-
clusion, his firmness in insisting on the
Philippines when he was once persuad-
ed that it was the will Of the people,
have led this country into the new ca
reel for which it has been preparing by
a century of growth in territory, popu-
lation, enlightenment and wealth. I'm
der his guidance the first and hardest
step-the long stride from selfish isola-
ton to fellowship with the great pow
ers-has been safely and proudly taken
against the cries of the narrow, the self
seeking, and the timid. If he remains
true to his best ideas and ideals, it
would be the basest ingratitude for the
party to entertain the claims of a rival.
