Reciprocity Treaties.

The period permitted for reciprocity
treaties with this country expired last
Monday, and France came in on the
home run at noon of the last day. I'm
der the treaty all but twenty-six of
more than 800 articles this country Sc
lected will go upon the minimum duty
list at French ports, putting this coun-
try on an equality with England and
Germany in exports for France. Many
articles of French manufacture will be
allowed entry at United States ports at
greatly reduced rates. Champagne,
however, will have to bear the same old
duty, as the French ambassador re-
fused to permit all of the articles that
the American officials demanded as an
offset for a concession to champagne, to
go on the favored list.
During the period permitted for reci-
procity treaties by the Dingley bill,
eight have been made, all but the
French treaty with governments of the
West Indies.

H PISTOL HABIT.
(Kansas City Starr

~AtS ~$~I
1t is a good thing for a young man to
know how to use firearms, and to be as
expert as possible with them. They are
to the nineteenth century what the
sword and rapier were in the eighteenth
or the lance in the age Of chivalry. They
are weapons whose proper use must be
reckoned among manly accomplish
ments, and, on occasion, they may do
valuable service even in time Of peace.
1t is also a good thing for a young mar
be as strong as his weight and inches
will allow him to be, to be quick Of eye
and movement. But he can do all these,
and, generally speaking, will be able to
take care of himself and his family in
any emergency, without sticking a PTS
tol in his pocket whenever he goes
abroad. There is little excuse, economi-
cally speaking, for the pistol-toter.
The great evil of this custom is that
it breeds disregard for human life. So
long as an angry man instinctively
strikes first and thinks afterward, SO
long will it be unsafe for the average
human being to carry a pistol.
The only possible excuse for the car
rying of a pistol is the presence Of dan
gerous characters who are liable to at
tack the owner, his family or his prop
erty; but even then 1t Is to be doubted
whether this weapon Is as efficacious as
might be supposed. Some Of the pluck
lest and best-hated of men have gone
about among ruff1ans accustomed to the
use of firearms with only a stout stick
for protection. Most roughs will hest
tate about attacking a man of undoubt-
ed courage, who is quick with his fists
and nimble of wits. There Is something
about pluck which intimidates a COW
ard, and about three-fourths of the bull
lies in this world are towards.

NOT AN EASY MARK.

\ols lLouiS LASpupliS'I
American firmness in bluntly refusing
to grant British jurisdiction over terri
tory occupied by American miners and
in insisting upon the maintenance OF
the Alaskan boundary line as already
fixed by treaty is to be commended,
equally with the ~forbearance marking
our consideration of the Canadian de-
mand. There was no necessity for a
loss of national temper. This govern
ment had the right on it's side. The
only course open was a straightforward
insistence upon the right.
1t is likely that Great Britain has rec
ognized the justice Of the American po-
sition from the start. 1t Is evident, at
any rate, that she is contemplating a
public recognition of the fact in the
neal future. The attempt Of Canada to
grab a slice of Alaskan territory giving
her a tidewater port and some valuable
American mining properties will fail.
The United States government Is not
an "easy mark for attempts of this ma
ture.

MORE PLANS,

(ElizabethtoWn Miner.)
The Las Vegas railroad to Mora, Taos
and the mines of northern New Mexico
is again being talked about. The Las
Vegas end of the enterprise has taken
on renewed activity, and it now looks
as if work would m at that
point at no distant day. There is in
Elizabethtown a local organization in
communication with other railroad men,
and a proposition has been made by a
construction company to build from the
proposed end of the Colorado & South
ern in Ponil Park to connect with the
Vegas road at the Black Lakes. And If
either or both of these contemplated
roads are built it now looks as If this
mining district would be blessed with
railroad communication in the near fu-
ture. The country traversed by this
proposed line is rich in mineral and
timber, and following the building OF
the road a large population of new set
tiers would make their appearance.

SAN JUAN e CROP.

\<AAtSS INV
The cutting and stacking of San Juan
county's wheat crop Is under way, and
the click of the binder is music in the
ears of the farmers throughout the
three valleys. 1t is the biggest yield in
the county's history, the large acreage
being the result of the increased acre
age sown last fall. Winter wheat made
an especially gratifying crop, and while
there is no way to determine the yield
of former years, 1899 is not far If any
| behind the best average per acre. The
| cereal seems certain to bring good prices
| this season., and this fact will to a great
| degree compensate many of our ranch
men for whatever shortage the year
may show in other crops or products.

Tn making q rpcinrOcitv treaty

In making a reciprocity treaty with
France last Monday the United States
government declined to reduce the duty
on champagne. 1t is greatly to be feared
that the officials wish to keep the price
so high that the supply will hold out for
the favorites Of fortune. But If the
worst comes, the poor laborers a ban
ish the sparkling from their dinner ia
bles with all the heroism and devotion
to duty that made the maids of Boston
decline to take tea when Great Britain
demanded a stamp tax.

Much has been said about the loss of
life attending the war and the invasion
of Cuba by the Americans; but the mis-
sion of the United States has been to
save life. The war, to begin with,
stopped short the Spanish policy which
had starved 100, 900 Cubans to death and
was being continued with the purpose
of determination. The food contributed
by the people and government of the
United States saved %uncounted thou
sands from death, and now appears the
American to face the pestilence that
walketh at MONDAY and to save thou
sands more.
