A new artist has reached Las Cruces.
A man has returned from Chihuahua
and is ~endeavoring to make the natives
believe that while in New Mexico he
crossed Arkansas razor-back hogs with
Mexican c%entipedes and now gets out Of
every hog ninety-eight hams, two
shoulders and two sides of bacon ten
feet long. BY crossing bees and light
ming bugs he has produced an insect
that works day and night shift, and be-
sides supplying his ranch with honey
furnishes it with all the light that 1t
needs. BY crossing the strawberry plant
with the milkweed he produces straw
berries and cream from the same plant,
and will make several shipments of
that delightful dessert to the north.
When one remembers that from Chi
huahua, through Las Cruces, comes the
story that Colonel A. j. Fountain has
returned from a trip to Peru, then the
palm must be awarded to that section
for the tallest and the most artistic ly-
ing thus far on record. For Chihuahua
the article, How to Lie Artistically,"
in the May number of Self-Culture, Is
superfiuous.

The success with which bricks are
made at the p~enitentiary and at Albu-
querque, and the fine pottery that the
Indians make in this vicinity demon
strate that not a small part of the
wealth of New Mexico consists Of i'm
mense beds of clay. When it is also
considered that there are in the terri
tory mountains of the best quality OF
lime, of sandstone and of granite, 1T
seems reasonable that in building ma
terial alone a profitable industry could
be built up that would give employment
to thousands of men. 1t is natural that
at first investors turn to gold, silver and
copper as offering the most promising
field, but many a mar who sunk his
fortune in a gold mine might nave be-
come a millionaire by investing money
in the less glittering natural wealth
that is lying around loose in almost ev-
cry square mile of the territory.

One fool makes many. All over the
country meetings are held, which, on
account of their reasonable nature, are
giving encouragement to the enemies of
the nation in the Philippines. Had it
not been for the aid and sympathy ex-
tended by the sentimentalists in the
United States to the Filipinos the var
this. 1t is thus hat the A~tkinsonites
are defeating their own alleged object
of ending a bloody war by prolonging il
through their ill-advised and treason
able actions.

Wealth is a relative term, and the
wealth baiters and haters therefore find
more sympathy wen among what many
consider wealthy people than is gener-
ally supposed. A brother of the late
Roswell Flower writes that his brother
accumulated only" Sc, 900, 900, for "he
had nc delight in mere money gather
ing" Fifty years ago there were not
ten men in the United States whose
wealth reached that figure, and to-day
in the country districts and smaller
towns a man possessing one-thon-
sandth part of Sc, 900, 900 is regarded as
wealthy. 1t all depends upon the point
of view. A millionaire may not consider
anything less than $50, 900, 900 wealth,
while a laborer would consider himself
wealthy if he had only several hundred
dollars to his credit.

RETURN OF PETER

dSlllLlS lOA 1 OoL.J
The return of ex-senator PETER to the
Republican party is not in itself an
event of moment. A sporadic flop sell
dom enriches one party or impoverishes
another to the extent of more than one
vote. There have been flops which have
actually benefited the deserted party
and inflicted a corresponding injury on
the arty receiving the new recruit. But
in this case there seems to be no rea-
son to fear or hope for serious results
of any kind, for the return of the prod
igal who, during his senatorial career,
persistently but vainly strove to fill the
treasury and the pockets of all the peo-
pie with cheap and handsome money
will be forgotten in a few days.

New York begins to imagine that it is
the United States. 1t boasts that this
claim is sustained because Admiral
Dewey chooses to land in New York
and refuses to take part in any celebra-
ton in his honor anywhere else. 1t will
not be long, however, before the west
will teach New York that there are
others, and that, after all, as far as the
United States is concerned, Manhattan
island is a mere outpost, which, for
convenience sake, is used as a shipping
point for the rest of the country.

THE FIGHTING AMERICAN.

One must stop to consider the magni-
tude of General Lawton's triumph. He
proceeded but six miles per day, but
fought more than one battle every day.
His flying column was made up Of but
a few hundred men, while from 5000 to
10000 of the enemy were opposed to
him. They were armed with Mauser
rifles that will kill at 1000 yards, while
the American Springfields kill at but
800. The natives are acclimated and are
fighting at home. The Americans are
under a tropical sun, forcing their way
through jungles, fording rivers breast
high, and all this under fire from the
ambushed enemy.
General Lawton's whirlwind cam
paign will stand out in history as one
of the BRIGHTEST pages in the chapter
of the worlds heroism. Napoleon's
deeds have been more than duplicated.
He led thousands to the slaughter. Gen.
eral Lawton has led his men through
the hell Of battle, and brought them
out victorious and fairly unhurt.

Not because Eddy has taken the name,
but on account of the new photography
adopted in Germany several years ago.
By the way, that new photography in

government commanded its adoption in
all public schools.

BEWARE OF COMPLICATIONS.
(Los Angeles Times.)

1t will be time enough for the peace
commission in the Philippines to talk
about a scheme of government for our
new possessions in the far east when
the rebels have laid down their arms
and sued for peace. Until the military
forces have accomplished this result it
would seem to be the part of wisdom
for the commission to carefully refrain
from taking steps that are likely to
lead to serious complications. One
thing at a time, and the thing" just
now is the establishment of the fact in
the minds of Aguinaldo, Luna and their
followers that our power in those is
lands is supreme and must be recog-
nized before any plan of civil govern
ment can be discussed. The admins

upon the taxpayers. But there should be decrease
in the former pension rolls. The Civil War closed
thirty-hve years ago, and yet the number OF pen
soners claiming pensions for service in that war con-
tinues to increase and the end is yet That some
thing of fraud exists in this condition OF affairs IS
beyond question, and the Republican party, whose
loyalty to the veterans who followed Grant and sup
ported Lincoln in the war for the Union IS not
doubted, should undertake the work OF purglng the
pension lists OF dishonest claimants and make 1t what
should bea roll of honor for the deserving brave
For the increased expenditure for the Postothce
there is justification whatever. The postal ser
vice in Great Britain, in France and in Germany is
self-supporting, and even yields revenue to the
state. There is reason why similar results should
not be obtained in this country. Congressman Loud,
chairman of the Postal Committee of the House, has
repeatedly urged reform in the service which would
greatly diminish the expenditures and get rid OF the
deficit Every effort in that direction, however has
failed and as result every increase in the business
of the Postofce is followed by an increase OF the de-
fcit.
With the exception of the items noted, the appro-
pration bills of the war Congress will stand the test
of popular judgment We have fought great ma
ton and conducted a war both sides the, globe
without pausng in work of internal improvements
or checking in any way ordinary expenditures tor
the upbuilding of the republic. The burden has been
vast but upon the OF the people sits so lightly
it is hardly noted. Speaker Reed once answered the
attacks of the opposition upon the liberal aPpropr1a-
tions of the Fity-hrst Congress, with the epigran
This is a billion dollar country" He now say it
is growing fast to be two billion dollar country and
the people stay with it.
