a new law was passed by the last
legislature that is of great Importance
to the western half of the state, where
it has been the custom to ship in cat
tie after March and evade taxation
1t provides that personal property
brought into county after March l
and before September l shall be as
sessed for taxation unless it has been
taxed for that year elsewhere. The
tax is made lien on the property so
that the cattle cannot be sold prior to
December 20, and thus escape taxa
tion on that end. The law was the
work of George Wiley, representative
of Mead and Seward counties. who
pushed the bill to successful issue in
spite of opposition. 1t means thOuS-
ands of dollars to the counties of west
ern Kansas Farmer.

Warming up in Guam.

The island of Guam has a governor
who seems to be having trouble among
the natives of the place, but it may be
that he can't help it, being an Irishman
named O'Leary, and, of course, not dis
posed to the arts of peace. Guam has
never had a war. Once a battle was ex-
pected by an American gunboat that
hove into port, But the Spanish gov
ernor, who did not know wal was in
progress, took his entire military force
and marched to the beach to apologize
for firing a salute, because his fort had
no powder. The American crew took
the whole outfit in out of the wet and
landed them at Manila. Then O'Leary
was sent to rule the roost. Having no
one else with whom to quarrel, and not
being disposed to be forgotten in these
days of hero-making, the Irish govern
or has ordered friars to leave the island
on the ground that they were teaching
the inhabitants to look upon the gov
ernor as secondary to the church rep
re~sentatives. And the natives are kick
ing. People should keep their eyes on
Guam. 1t is one of the new American
possessions in charge of an Irishman,
and if he does not make himself a king,
it will be because he prefers to be a
salaried patriot. Now that he has got
into communication with the govern
ment at Washington, the people of this
country will be made to realize that
Guam is a warm number under an
Irish administration.

Exhaustion Al Home.

While expansion Is the order in this
country, what is the matter with ex-
panding the membership of states and
letting the number be swelled by the
admission of New Mexico, where people
fought both to preserve the Union and
to hold the islands captured from the
race that once ruled this territory. The
act might be held UP as an example Of
what will be done for the island peoples
when they deserve it. At present they
could well point to the territory as an
example of tardy justice by this gov
eminent. IT. is true New Mexico has
not beer unkindly treated, because she
has a better government than was
known before Mexico surrendered the
territory, but the people of the present
day deserve to be put upon an equality
with those of the states. They may not
all desire such a change, but if this be
true it Is because they have become
used to the existing order of things, and
do not care for change. But change and
porgress are the order of this age, and
the nation errs in keeping strings upon
its wards when they have outgrown
primitive conditions. Turn New Mexico
loose!

swelled vastly since that spring month.
But accepting these averages for the
whole country, as is fair, because they
came from forty-six states and terrific
ries, and represented thirty-nine lines
of industry, then American labor was
receiving more than twice as many dol
lars in March, 1899, as We're paid for la
Dor in March, 1895, when Democratic
tariff legislation had killed industries
innumerable. Men who labored had
been made happy by an increase of
wages, and not having to longer aid
directly or indirectly in the support Of
as many more who We're formerly idle
but had become busy, the wages of la
borers were capable of allowing greater
savings in March Of the present year.
This condition has grown even better
since, and the working people generally
are better off now than for a number of
years previous to the advent of prosper
ity and an increased demand for labor
ers at better prices.

Cuba Getting On.

General Fitzhugh Lee, who is at home
for a visit, says that two things are
growing in Cuba that will be good for
the people there, annexation and crops.
They need both. The Cuban people do
not seem anxious to have the United
States hurry about leaving them to
themselves. for substantial benefits are
accruing to the country from it's oc-
cupancy by United States forces, and
no disadvantages are resulting. If the
politicians Of this country and the yell
low yelpers of the press will let the
administration alone, annexation will
come about without any objection upon
the rart of the people of Cuba, but if
the Observation-Disclosures turn loose to con-
vince the Cubans that they are being
unfairly treated, perhaps another insur-
rection may be started. 1t is talk of this
kind that keeps the Filipinos from
abandoning their resistance.

The extreme activity in the iron mar
ket and the great demand for iron and
steel is being felt in various quarters,
and among others by purchasers of
mining machinery. Considerable delays
have been caused in delivering machin-
cry ordered by the difficulty in getting
ting to be the rule in accepting orders
to agree to fill them only at a date con-
tingent upon the receipt Of the raw ma
terial. OF course, this is one of the diff
culties of a period of boom and activity
like the present. The makers of mining
machinery generally are busy, and are
no exceptions to the general condition
of activity reported everywhere.

Double as Much Paid TO Labor.

Statistics collected by sending inqui-
ries to several thousand manufacturers
in the United States in March, 1895,
brought answers to questions as to the
number of men employed, the average
wages and the aggregate payments. In
quiries Of the same parties this year
brought 1,957 nswers concerning March
business, which show the average in
crease in wages had been 1O.49 per cent.
The average number of laborers en-
ployed had been Increased 1886 per cent,
and the aggregate payments were 54.09
per cent greater. Probably these are
of the increase throughout the
United States among the ol& enter
prises, but the new ones are ~not,consid-

have raised their scales of wages
and increased their forces. The volume

NAT'RAL-BORN X
(Kansas City Starr


Suppose that the administration had
favored the abandonment of the Phil
ippines after the occupation of Cuba by
the Americans; suppose that the presi-
dent had ordered the withdrawal of the
United States soldiers and the naval
squadron under Dewey from Manila,
and the REIMBURSEMENT of the islands
to anarchy or to the possession of some
power other than the United States.
Does anybody fancy for an instant that
the Democratic party would not have
raised a howl Of disapproval and de-
nounced the administration for coward
ice and treason? Nothing a be more
certain than that this would have been
the attitude of the Democracy, which is
now fighting a policy favored by its
own founders, simply because it has re-
ceived the tardy and unwilling sanction
of President Mckinley and the Repub-
lican party.

Las Cruces people report that Ell Paso
commission merchants do not buy the
valley fruit and other produce, and
practically all of it goes to Arizona and
New Mexico points and to Kansas City.
One Of the FL Paso dealers Is quoted as
saying that they regretted that the
Mesilla valley was 80 near, because it
cheapened prices If producers could sell
t. retailers direct, and the commission
trade could make more money by i'm
porting inferior California stuff. For
tunately, New Mexico towns furnish a
good market for orchard products with
out growers selling through FL Paso
dealers. If 1t is true, as stated, that not
900 pounds Of fruit went from Las
Cruces to Ell Paso this season, the Tex
ans are the only losers, for good prices
were realized just the same by the
growers.

In the cold-storage warehouses of the

a dozen to every person in the United

more in hands Of retail merchants. At
20 cents per dozen, these eggs would

Colorado is too cold and harsh during

altitude and its perpetual fogs, offers
as poor a place all the year round as

These southwestern territories, with
an average elevation of 5000 feet, with
an atmosphere almost totally devoid of
moisture, and with practically perpet-
ual sunshine, claim to be the only sec
ton on the continent that offers to the
class of patients named a reasonable
hope of relief-and this claim is sup
ported by the judgment of physicians
and the experience of the afflicted, while
each years record serves to confirm the
opinion expressed by one of the most
