l am directing my attention somewhat
20 the details of this subject.
- few OF the counties OF the terri
tory are just now strained to run the
county governments, mainly because of
SO much property in them that cannot
now be taxed. I have reference now
to the northern counties, through
which the Santa Fe Pacific railroad
passes The road and all fixtures on it
heretofore paying d tax on the valua-
ton of So 900 per mile. by 2 late decis-
ion OF the supreme court of the United
States, are now exempt from taxation.
The company owns half the lands for
forty miles on either side of the road
through the territory. Most of these
are exempt because they are unsur-
Veyed. If surveyed. at a very mOder-
ate valuation, the tax arising there
from, added to the taxable pOperty al
ready there, would relieve those coun-
ties of the strain. Therefore the ne
cessity for the survey cf those lands.
and it cannot be done without congress
siOnal authority and direction. l shall,
Of course, seek to have this done. I
desm it duty of the government to
grant this aid to suffering population
Il have conferred with the railroad
officials here on this subject and am
glad to say that l find them literally
disposed. They are alive to the situa-
tiQn, and they propose to tr5at with
those counties, and pay taxes on their
road at some agreed price, nOtwith-
standing their exemption. And, fur
thermore I do net look for their oppo
sitiOn to the survey of these lands"

The conclusion is forcing itself upon
many OF the friends of the late Captain
w. o. O'Neiu that his identified re-
mains may never be found. The body
was buried a considerable distance
away from any of the other bodies
killed in the San Juan hill fight, and it
is barely possible that they may have
been taken up by parties to whom he
was unknown and even now among the
unidentified dead recently laid to rest
IN Arlington cemetery. Members Of
the Rough Riders state that if the ad-

his body or the parties recon1m ended

most interestingly of political and in

THE things that concern us most
just now said Mr.. Wilson, ARE those
OF 4 local nature. The amount OF til
liable land in the territory, if reclaimed,
is immense. The area of the Salt and
ella river valleys, with their tribu-
tafies, is greater than the valley OF the
Nile. There is enough waste water go
ing down those streams every year, il
utilized, to reclaim them all. Before
these waters can be utilized they must
be impounded. To do this viii require
quite an outlay CT capital
LAS the government owns nearly all
Of both, it seems TO me that the remedy
the aHectual remedy-is for the gov
eminent to take hold of the subjec. i'm
pound these waters and thereby pre-
pare the lands for reclamation. Then,
by slight raise Of the government
price for the lands the project would
finally be self-sust tanning.
For the government to do this
would be doing no more for the benefit
OF agriculture in the west than she has
done for the benefit of commerce in the
north, east and south. She has ex-

A COSTLY LESSON.

The Rector antitrust law in Arkan-
sas, though aimed at trusts generally,
is having its first effect upon the in
surance companies, against which its
provisions are drastic. The companies
are retaliating by Withdrawing from
the state, where their aggregate risks
last year appropriated $50 Oo0,O
leaving all this property at the risk Of
the owners. It is safe to infer that no
man who sees his property burn and
knows that the loss is total for want CT
insU- lIice viii think kindly of The law
that has had such an effect upon him.
The intent Of the law, which IS to Te-
strain trusts, is good, but the legisla-
ton has not been considered with sum
cient care If the agitation should
eliminate, as is now threatened, in the
complete withdrawal Of all the insur
ance companies doing business in the
state, and the consequent destruction
Of much valuable property without tbs
compensation afforded by insurance, It
Will be a costly lesson on the folly Of
sending politicians and demagOgues,
instead of statesmen, to make laws for
the people.3PhiladelP Ledger

A TREASURY THIEF.
Recent Reminders of "a Robbery in
Washington Twenty
Years Ago.

The KecE smuggling ease, lately de-
cided in favor of the defendant by the
supreme court of the United States,
presents a phase that recalls cele-
brated robbery of the treasury in Wash
ington nearly 20 years ago. In the
Keek case the diamonds are in the pos
session of the government. As Keck
has been acquitted of the offense of
smuggling by the highest federal court,
some good lawyers who heard the de-
cision hold he can recover possession of
the iewelry. The case in one phase.re-
sem bling this was the theft by q treas
ury employe in Washington of 4 pack
age of currency containing $50, coo in
$500 bills. The package was abstracted
al the noon hour, when the clerks are
allowed time to leave the building for
luncheon The thief carried it to a
nearby saloon and hid it. the keeper
Of the place~being supposed TO stand in
with him. The loss, Of course, was soon
discovered and everybody who could
have taken the package Swallowed. Sus-
piciou quickly settled on a certain en-
plove. VINO was known to freuqent the
saloon in question.
The large size OF the bills gave the
conspirutors trouble. Finally they sent
one of their number to Saratoga TO play
the races with a part Of The money.
The rest-$12. C00-they deposited in a
bank in Alexandria, Va, eight miles
down the river. The man who went
to Saratoga was of the ''tin-horn' gam
bling class He lost his head and
played the races so badly, putting up
$500 bill every time, that the detec-
tives soon took him in. Arrests were
made, indictments found, but nobody
was convicted, for the simple reason
that the government could not prove
that the money found on. the tin horn"
vas a part Of the identical money that
was stolen from the treasury. So, like
Keck, they went free. The money in
the Alexandria bank remained there
several years until finally the late
George Bliss. of New York, came to
Washington in 1882 as one Of the gov
crnnent counsel in the star route cases.
He was employed to recover this money.
His contention was simple. The gov
ernment could not prove its title to
