Unfair Letter Writinu.

Now and then a paper comes to this
office from a remote crossroads in one
of the states with a letter from some
person who has been fortunate enough
to escape from there by securing an APP
pointment in some branch of the gov
eminent service, and who could not
easily be induced to return. Generally
the writer, not having had time to adj
just himself to his surroundings writes
down this country without knowing
enough about it to be accurate. Such
letters are given a certain amount of
publicity and help to deter desirable
immigrants from coming west. because
the readers take it for granted the
writer Is better informed than he is.
There is no call for uniformed persons
writing newspaper letters at all. The
only fair course they could pursue would
be to refer inquiries to parties who are
posted or advise h~omeseekers to make
personal Investigations before removing.
In one instance recently a large party
of people had secured reliable informa-
ton as to the of a certain
county, and It's farming possibilities, and
were preparing to remove when a letter
appeared in their county paper from a
newly arrived government employe, who
spoke lightly of matters that required
more time for investigation than he
could have had if he were qualified to
write upon the subject. The result was
to discourage the immigrants, who would
probably be much better off in New
Mexico than they are at their present
homes. -

The Agricultural department has dis
covered that the climate of Arizona is
adapted to the growth of the date of
commerce. An expert has been sent
across the ocean to select varieties and
he will cultivate them in Arizona. The
department might have learned years
ago that the date will thrive in Amer
lea. and not alone In Arizona. Down In
the Pecos valley, at Pecos, Tex, just
across the New Mexico line, five or six
years ago, a lady given to study of
horticulture, planted date seeds from
fruit purchased in a grocery and had
the pleasure Of seeing plants grow
therefrom. When last a report was

NOT THE DESIRE.
lWaShinptnn Post

If this people desire commercial isola-
tion and the defrauding of every citizen
to whom a dollar is due, it might estab-
fish that financial policy of it's own
which Mr.. Bryan continues to advocate,
in spite of.the tremendous trend of events
in the opposite direction. But it does
not. And if the Democratic party does
not wish to give the Republicans an
easy victory in 1900, it will at least drop
the 16 to / ratio out of its demand for
free coinage.

The west will welcome Secretary
Wilson of the agricultural department
this summer, as he is going to spend his
summer vacation in the arid region to
consider 1t close range the feasibility of
government storage reservoirs. The
office of the commission Secretary
Wilson has studying this subject is in
Wyoming, and he will go there, prob
ably. New Mexico has some successful
irrigation systems the official should see
and available sites for large reservoirs.
The secretary could observe what can
be accomplished in the way of convert
ing desert into an orchard country, to a
better advantage in New Mexico than
he a in the northern lands, and it is
to be hoped he will visit this territory.

1t is probably a unique incident of
warfare that while an instruction is
led by a venal traitor there should
simultaneously be pending a suit at law
for the possession Of some of the pur-
chase money paid to him by another
power. OF the 5000, 900 with which
Spain bribed Aguinaldo and his fellows
to leave the philippines, there are about
$500, 900 on deposit in bank at Hong
kong. This is a tidy sum of money,
and naturally the r~ascally chief of the
Tagalo lnsurrection would like to re.
cover it. The suit is before a British
court in the treaty port and the decision
will be observed with interest.

DEwEY's POLITICAL WISDOM.
(Pittsburg Dispatch.)

The title of admiral in the American
navy is one of the most honorable that
any man could have, and the names of
Dewey and Farragut are likely to long
survive those OF many of our presidents.
During a political campaign, even such
a splendid fighter and level-headed COM
mander as George Dewey could not
escape calumny, II he should be a can
didate, nor could he escape a loss of
prestige and popularity. If elected, he
would be compelled to undergo the
strain Of patronage distribution, an or
deal hardly less severe than a naval
battle Not being a politician, he would
be IN constant danger Of being misled

VIII Get their Pictures.

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 12.-Acting
Chancellor Bessey and Financial Sec
rotary Dales of the state university
have interested themselves in an effort
to secure photographs of all former
university students who lost their lives
while serving in the army during the
war with Spain and in the Philippines.
An excellent likeness of the late Col.
John M. ~Stotsenburg has been received
from Mrs. Stotsenburg and now occu-
pies a place in the acting chancellor's
room. Seven university students lost
their lives during the war and to the
memory Of these men a memorial tab.
let has been prepared which now occu-
pies a place in the acting chancellor's
office. 1t is felt that photographs Of
the boys would be much more suitable
and lasting and an effort will be made
to secure them.

Ancient American Sleeping Cars.

l.. Xavire Eyma, a Frenchman, who
came to this country in 1S47, wrote an
article in ILLUSTRATION of Paris, pub
lished July 22,1848, giving his expert
ences on the railroads of the United
States. He says that at that time
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad had
q length of seventy leagues and that
the cost of the road was 4,116,74
francs, the receipts 1855, 456 francs and
expenses 1864, TAI francs. He also
gives considerable space to the in
terror arrangements of the sleeping
cars used at that time and says that.
"they are actually houses where moth
ing is lacking for the necessity of life
and are divided into compartments and
sleeping rooms, some for men and
some for women" Each room held six
beds or rather little touches in three
tiers along the sides. He winds up his
account by saying that valuables were
not particularly we'll taken care of, as
In America there were no such things
as sneak thieves"

School District Lands.

LINCOLN, Neb.. Aug. 14.-State
Auditor Cornell has announced that
under the law he cannot register school
district bonds which draw interest at
a higher rate than 6 per cent. There
Is a very general misunderstanding re-
garding this law, nearly all of the
school directors holding that the act
limiting the interest rate to 6 per cent
is Intellectual on the ground that it
does not repal a former act fixing the
rate at z per cent. The attorney gen.
eral holds that the act of the last leg
islature indirectly repeats the former
law, ven though it does not contain
the repeating clause. Acting on this
opinion Auditor Cornell refuses to reg
lister any school district bond drawing
interest at a higher rate than 6 per
cent.

Due to the State.

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 14.-There is
still some prospect that the judgment
held by the state against the bonds
men of ex-Oil Inspector Hilton will
not be satisfied to its full amount.
Through Judge Wakley of Omaha the
bondsmen have paid into the district
court of Lancaster county a little over
$1,000. This is about $500 less than
the judgment calls for, which amount
is disputed by the bondsmen. Hilton
retained a large amount of fees re-
ceived for inspection of gasoline,
claiming that as the law did not re-
quire him to inspect it, the state was
not entitled to the money. The courts
held differently.
