the theft Of large quantities of brass.

More Good Appointments,

Governor Otero could not have made
a more ideal appointment than that of
Ex-Governor L. Bradford Prince as one
of the regents of the agricultural col
lege, as announced yesterday. The APP
pointee is an a%griculturist and horticul-
turist. He is public-spirited and inter
ested intensely in furthering the adj
vance of the territory. And he pos
sesses that enthusiasm that is needed in
the conduct of an institution of this
character.
The other important appointments
made yesterday are also of a character
to warrant commentator Of the good
JUDGMENT of the governor.
DR.. J. H. Wroth, new regent of the
university, stands high as a citizen, and
was especially well recommended by
prominent Democrats and Republicans
for the regency at Albuquerque.
The retention of F. G. Bartlett, of So
zorro, was on the ground of efficiency
and merit shown in conducting the af-
fairs of the institution.
Messrs. Nicholas T. Cordova and O.. l..
Gregory, the two new regents of the in
sane asylum, We're chosen from among
the citizens of Las Vegas because of
their sterling qualities and disposition
to do faithful service in the interest of
the u~nfortunates.

PROGRESS and Conquest.

The troubles in the Transvaal are due
to the discovery Of gold by the outsid-
ers. The output of the mines for the
first half of this year was $50, 600, 900, ant
it would be doubled for the year if there
should be no interference. The mines
are nearly all owned by Englishmer
and Americans, and the employees are
nearly all natives of America or Eng
land. For brave and intelligent mer
controlling so much wealth to be treated
by the Boer laws about like so many
Chinese are in this country is certainly
hard to bear. AT the same time the
Beers have the abstract right to make
their own laws, and to object to being
dominated by foreign intruders of such
masterful nature hat the Beers mus
give way in politics, business and gov
eminent control if the law puts the Tit
landers on an equal footing with the
natives.
However, the Anglo-Saxon race can-
not long be barred from the privileges
of citizenship in any land. To attempt
to restrain them from a conquest of the
world is futile. The march of civiliza-
ton is irresistible. Its peaceful progress
may be briefly blocked now and then
and war be invoked, but the final result
is certain.
In h course of time, as the popula-
ton of the world increases, the strong
est, most restless people will swarm to
all the islands and countries for pos
session Of which they have not cared
heretofore, and the inferior races will
yield to their superiors. This process
has been going on forever.
The Spanish conquerors of many say
age tribes have passed away in their
turn, and superior forces have replaced
them. The Anglo-Saxon race may in the
course of centuries be succeeded by a
superior type that may be developed.
The sentimental protest against the adj
vance of the race and taking possession
Of new lands held by weaker people can
avail nothing. The law of nature, the
survival Of the %fittest, Is i%nexorable. 1t
cannot be set aside by human will any
more than can the law of gravitation.

AUGUST WEATHER..
Past Month Crowded the Record for Heat
and Dryness.

From a weather standpoint August
was a remarkable month. 1t was the

ords were first kept, and it was the hot
test month in that time, excepting Au-
gust Of 1899. The mean temperature of
August this veal was So degrees; the

gust q, when the thermometer regis
tered 81 degrees; the lowest tempera-
ture occurred August 10, when the ther-
mometer showed SO degrees. The great
est daily range of temperature was on
the goth, % degrees; the least range was
Is degrees, on the 9Th. The mean tenn
p%erature of the month for twenty-seven
years was 81 degrees; the average ex-
cess of daily temperature this month
was 2.5 degrees; accumulated deficiency
in temperature since January l is 8
degrees; average daily deficiency since
January /, less thar 1 degree; prevail
ing direction of wind, southwest; total
movement of wind, 4,198 miles; maxi
mum velocity of wind, t~hirty-two miles
on August 1. The total precipitation for
the month was 0.36 inches; number of
days with 0.01 inch or more was s; aver
age precipitation for the month for
twenty-six years, 81 inches; total def
cheney in precipitation for the month,
2.25 inches; accumulated deficiency in
precipitation since January / is 3.05
inches; number of clear days, 81; partly
cloudy days, 8; cloudy days, 1; mean at
mospheric pressure, 29.S7; highest pres
sure, 29.99, on the I'd; lowest pressure,

War Preparations.

The president and Secretary Root are
thoroughly satisfied with the progress
being made in recruiting for the new
regiments. 1t is estimated that 5000
men have already been enlisted, and the
number is increasing daily. The plan of
assigning the newly appointed officers
to recruiting duty at their respective
homes is work admirably. Army officers
say that in this n a better class
of men is being secured, and further
more each company will to a certain
extent be local in it's formation. They
add hat the men when enlisted from
the same locality take greater pride in
their organization, and are more readily
disciplined.
The new regiments will undoubtedly
be complete for organization in Septem-
Der.
The authorities believe that the cam
paign when inaugurated will not last
over a month. No definite plan of cam
paign has as yet been decided upon.
This will depend largely on the tactics
adopted by Aguinaldo. If he masses his
forces the entire army of So, 900 men will
be thrown against him.
In case the insurgents are divided,
then the American troops will be form
ed into four divisions operating in the
north, south, east and west. of Luzon,
The quartermaster's department has
assured the secretary of war that the
troops will be hurried to the Philippines
as rapidly as they are ready for trans
portation. All field equipment, includ-
ing commissary supplies, have been
provided
