Santa Ee and Fort Marcy.

The request of the City of Santa Fe
to have the government donate the
abandoned Fort Marcy reservation to
the municipality, for sites for school
and other public buildings, has called
out an editorial in the Denver News.
That paper says the request is d rea-
| sonable one, and should be granted,
adding that the reservation is small
and a part of the city itself. The News
say further:
1T is now f~ifty-three years since Gen
eral Kearney took possession Of Santa
Fee, with his army of the west and
declared New Mexico annexed to the
United States. He Immediately began
the construction Of an adobe fort on a
bluff which commanded the city, and
it was named Fort Marcy, in honor of
the then secretary of war. The work
of construction was begun by Colonel
Doniphan's LIST regiment of Missouri
volunteers, and completed by Colonel
Sterling Prices I'd regiment, when Dom
iphan marched to Chihuahua. For al
most half a century it was the head
quarters post of the New Mexico dis
trict, and it has been commanded by, or
numbered among it's garrison, some of
the most noted officers in the military
annals of the nation. With the changes
which come to the west and southwest
with the railroads, the quieting of the
Indians, and the loyalty of the resident
Mexican population to American rule,
Fort Marcy lost it's Importance and was
finally abandoned. No better DISPOSE
ton of the reservation can be made
thar to give it to Santa Fe. With the
history of that city the old post must
ever be associated, and Fort Marcy
park would be an admirable method of
perpetuating it's name. as well as the
romantic associations which must ever
cluster about it. For half a century the
name of Santa Fe and Fort Marcy were
inseparable. Let them never be di-
vorced."

Public Debts Should Be Paid.

The city council 1t Albuquerque now
has an excellent opportunity to put the
city on a good financial standing by
availing itself of permission given by
a special act of congress to issue bonds
to the amount of $50, 900 to pay debts
existing in excess of the limit fixed by
law. The council is preparing to make
a double shot by refunding at the same
time the old bonded indebtedness of
s35, 500, which bears 6 and I per cent
interest. By selling the new issue n
the refunding bonds at the same time
they can probably be floated at 4 per
cent, as were New Mexico territorial
bonds recently and the municipal bonds
of Ell Paso. Refunding was authorized
by the last Legislature at 4 per cent.

that will probably be offered for the
whole installment of bonds, the limits
can probably be observed. AS the ex-
be raised yearly. the tax rate is as
great for the bonds now out as it will
be when the additional amount is is
sued, if the sinking fund feature is
omitted as proposed. The city should
certainly issue the new bonds and pay
its current debts, and should also re-
fund the bonded Indebtedness at the
rate now available for cities of such
splendid as Albuquerque has.
This is an excellent year for paying
debts and reorganizing the finances Of
counties and municipalities. Investors
are eager to buy bonds. The town or
county out Of debt that can pay cash
can get better service and buy supplies
at a very much cheaper rate than those
that must give citizens deprecated
promises.

What Bryan Democratic Leaders Favor.

A magazine is now published in New
York by the Democratic organization
favorable to Colonel Bryan, and the
proposition to make free silver the is
u in the coming campaign. 1t recent
ly published from prominent
Democrats to whom heterogeneous up
on this subject were addressed. All are
referred to as Democratic leaders and
silver champions. The answers certain
ly look like most of the champions are
afraid to go into the fight on that issue,
because they lack the p~ositiveness that
was characteristic of all their utter
ances in 1896.
They appear to have forgotten the
tariff topic, but they are to be forgiven
for this. Not one of them used the
phrase, free and unlimited coinage of
silver"
But here is the gist of the responses
of the leaders who have gone on record:
Carter H.. Harrison-We must make
our fight against the trusts.
Judge Daniel Buck-We must let con-
gress fix the ratio.
Congressman Caldwell-Every plank
must be a Democratic plank.
Congressman De ~Armond-The plat
form of 1896.
National Committeeman Dudley
The financial question.
Nick Perrin-Trusts especially: the
old platform is good enough.
Judge Notwithstanding ratio is not
an essential factor.
Senator Allen-I am not a Democrat.
Judge McConnell-I am against indi-
eating the ratio in the platform.
Congressman Champ Clark-The old
platform should be reaffirmed, word for
word.
Governor Boies, of Iowa-If success is
desired the Democratic platform must
be made broad enough for all Demo-

The Aguinaldo college professors are
not prominent enough as individuals

cha position that causes their opinions
to be heard. There is nothing in the
duties of men who study out literary
style, mathematical questions, the best
methods of p~ropagating OF destroying

as judges of what the government
should do with the pesky rebels, in the
dusky land hat the fortunes of war

The professors should stick to their
microscopes, telescopes and their pen
ellis if they would be honored for as
uteness instead of assininery.

There is one point the public will be
glad to have shown up in connection
with the sensational charges, plots and
counterplots of the penitentiary sensa-
ton. That is as to how a convict in the
penitentiary anne to have in his pos
session enough strychnine to kill every
man about the place and all of the peo-
pie of Santa Fe. No matter how many
stories he may have manufactured, he
did not manufacture the poison that
was turned over to the officials. If it
were supplied to him, and in quantity
greater than could be found in all of
the drug stores of Santa Fe, how could
it have been done without official con-
nivance or careless inefiiciency? 1t may
have been furnished to bolster up a
statement the convict made, or it may
have been supplied for criminal pur-
poses. But it certainly was supplied
from some source, and if the convict did
not commit murder of officers and pris-
oners it was not because of lack of OPP
portunity. Here is a kernel of truth the
court should consider. The facts about
this poison and how it reached the pris-
oner constitute a cause of special inter-
est. and must not be lost to sight.

The testimony of witnesses before the
industrial commission at Washington
shows hat the half dozen largest stock
holders in the Standard Oil Company
have accumulated half a billion of dol
lars in profits from the sale of thai
commodity. And if they can maintain
present prices by their methods of sup
pressing opposition and destroying ri
walls they soon will have a billion of
dollars to control copper and many 9TH
er things. The trust ships oil to New
York and sells it at ten cents per gal
lon, but when there is competition the
price is cut to five. In California the
price is twenty cents, and in New Mex
leo twenty-five cents. The cost of
reaching a market has nothing to do
with the price at which the oil is sold.

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE.
New York Commercial Advertiser.)
From Washington down to Grant the
American people have insisted on a tu-
multuous welcome to great American
commanders on their return from vic
tory, and Admiral Dewey is to be no
exception to the rule. The pent-up ad-
miration and gratitude of the American
people demands expression in this way.
No doubt the reception that he will
meet will be something of an ordeal for
the victor of Manila bay, but he is too
good an American to complain of this.
These displays of public feeling have a
wholesome effect. They are a stimulus
to patriotism, and they show that, in
spite of the commercial spirit of the
nation, devotion to the flag and pride
in the achievements of its defenders
are as deep and strong as ever. Where
such a spirit exists there is little dam
ger of national decay.

STATEHOOD FOR TERRITORIES.

STATEHOOD FOR TERRITORIES.
(Denver Times.)
The granting of territorial forms of
government to our new dependencies,
Porto Rico, Hawaii, the Philippines,
and possibly Cuba, will soon engage the
attention of congress. The entrance of
these new elements into the national
fabric is likely to have a beneficial eff
feet on the west, in overcoming oppo-
sition to the creation of new states out
of the territories of our home domain.
1t will not be fair or logical to give
to the people who have been Americans
from birth, and who have faithfully
worked to fulfill the destiny of the ma
ton, no better status than the ignorant
people who have done nothing for the
advancement of the United States. If
Porto Rico is entitled to wear the hon
ors of territorial government, then New
Mexico and Arizona and Oklahoma are
entitled to advance into a higher class
and there is no middle ground short
Of full statehood.
The one way by which our record as
a nation can be perfected is to grant
full home governments to all of the
subdivisions of our present domain, as
fast as the people are equal to the bur-
dens and responsibilities. In the case
of the western territories this capabil-
ity has already been abundantly
proved, and a great advance has been
made since the last showing was made
to congress.
