New Mexic0's Cash Balance.

The business world is composed of
sellers and buyers. The same might be
said of the people generally. All must
be buyers to a certain extent, but unfor-
tunate must be the people who buy
more than they sell. New Mexico must
buy largely of the east in manufactured
products, but the balance of cash should
be in favor of the territory now, when
wool and cattle are bringing proper val
ues. The money coming into the terri
tory for these products, for the con-
struction of railways and development
of mines must be far in excess of that
which is sent out for supplies. With
the additional amounts being realized
by sales Of mining properties and the
profits resident miners are getting from
the industry, the territory must be rap
idly increasing in none holdings. Peo-
pie and corporations are paying taxes
more promptly than ever before, and it
is not all due to a better revenue law,
for delinquenciesa are generally caused by
a lack of funds, as the average property
owner does not let a cloud settle upon
titles to land when he is easy as to
money. A few years of good times will
and the territory will increase in wealth
and in productiveness as it has never
before increased.

Loves Labor Lost.

1t is a long time until Republicans Of
New Mexico will meet to say who shall
have the honor of attending the nation
al convention. Yet would-be mischief
makers, consisting of two or three
Democratic or nondescript newspapers,
are already working to create the i'm
preston that a bitter rivalry exists be-
tween Republican leaders for the pros
pective honor. 1t is a prize worth striv-
ing for, but a contest does not necessa-
rily result in any party division. To
represent the territory in the national
convention of the best and biggest po-
litical party on earth is worthy the am
bition of n man, but political unfaith-
fulness because of failure to secure an
honor that all who seek cannot have
prove he who should be guilty was not
deserving of distinction. Treachery of
this sort would do the Democratic poll
ticians of New Mexico nc good. Who
ever is nominated at the national con-
vention of the Republicans will be elect
ed. The administration of territorial af-
fairs will remain Republican, no mat
ter who attends the national convention
of the successful party.
Nor can such contest for the honor of
representing the party make any mate
rial difference in territorial politics, for
the people of New Mexico have found
out that their interests require the con-
%tinuance of a Republican administra-
ton. Personal rivalries 0 quarrels
could cause the majority to aid the
enemy by party division; nor cause the
Strengthening of the ranks Of the free

more railways, the investment of more
money in mines, plenty of work and
higher wages.

POLITICS AND TRUSTS.
(San Francisco Chronicle.)

Neoll AS
AS to the political responsibility for
trusts, there is none. Trusts are no more
Republican or Democratic than are or
binary business combinations on a small
scale. Their friends and enemies, their
beneficiaries and victims, are in all
parties, and they thrive in England and
Germany as well as in America. In the
eastern rural districts, where the heav-
lest Republican vote exists, the warfare
upon trusts is waged with more vigor
than is evidenced in Democratic cities,
where the bulk of the laboring popula-
ton is in some way dependent on in
dustrial pursuits. Produce a remedy for
the evil, and the Republican party will
be as quick to take it up and press it as
any other. Nor will it be less assiduous
in search of a remedy. With things in
this position, how is it possible to draw
campaign lines? People who are agreed
cannot divide and fight; when two par
ties are equally solicitous to ''smash the
trusts how is one, unless it presents a
remedy which the other rejects, going
to profit by the issue?

Blessed With Both Mines and Farms.

With all that is said of the aggregated
wealth of the people of Kansas, who
are now out of debt and have money in
the banks, recent statistics show that
there is one-third more money in the
banks of Denver than in all Kansas
banks combined. Yet Kansas has three
times the population of Colorado, has
the proceeds of two big crops on hand,
and money is already coming in for the
third. Colorado gets considerable money
herself for farm products and live stock.
She has the advantage of wonderful
mines, and when mines are making
money it piles up rapidly. New Mexico,
like Colorado, has live stock and both
mineral and agricultural resources The
mines are being developed to a crafty
ing extent, and farming operations will
be stimulated by an increasing home
market resulting from greater mining
industry.

A few days ago Aguinaldo published
a manifesto wherein he took occasion
to damn the United States and praise
Spain up to the skies; indeed, he called
that country "the loving mother of the
Filipinos." When one looks at Spain's
record for the past 300 years in connec-
ton with the Philippine islands, and re-
calls the many cruelties and barbara
ties practiced by the Spanish governor
generals, it becomes plain that Agui-
naldo must have been reading, and re-
Gently, too, the Munchausen tales, and

Ex-Governor Stone, who is now the
real head of the national Democratic
committee, says the party must not
next yea make an alliance with the
Populist and silver Republican parties.
Evidently the Missourian has found out
that those organizations are so dead the
Democracy would have to drag the
bodies in the race. In 1896 the Democra-
parties to carry it along. They have
passed to political graves, but the De-
mocracy still hobbies along, and, in the
absence of the late companions, needs
must go it alone, hence the declaration
from Missouri.

General Weyler has been heard from
again. This time he spoke in the Span
ish senate, and intimated that while he
had never thought of heading a rebel
lion, n could easily be fomented and
the people and the army might make
common cause. A cabinet member re-
piled to the general, who had failed with
300, 900 soldiers to put down a rebellion,
in a n quite as savagely as Amer
leans ever uttered threats against the
butcher. He was informed that any one
making remarks of that character in
the future would be proceeded against
by the government. The senate ap-
plauded the snub the garrulous general
received.

In the years between 1885 and 1891 in
elusive, the uncollected taxes of San
Miguel county amounted to over 5000, 900,
and some 1000 or 5000 people annually
real estate. Very many of the delin-
quents We're, of course, of the class now
exempted because they do not own
property in excess of 5000 in value. A
computation is being made of the sums
delinquent since 1891. The record for
the entire time is very bad, and proves
that the Duncan revenue law now in
force was needed. For the present year
the delinquencies will probably be con-
siderably less than ever known.

Permanent Peace Never BOUGHT.

Mexico has had a hard time subduing
the Yaqui Indians, and experienced
more trouble with them than the United
States did with the Apaches. Finally
the leaders We're bought up a year or
two ago, and a treaty of peace was
signed with due ceremony. But the high
privates have again become hostile un~
der the leadership of a new chief, who,
perhaps, wishes to be bought, or to en-
joy command of the tribe. AS a result.
several officers of the Mexican army, to-
gether with the old chief, have been
is considered as unsafe as ever. Citi-
zens are being impressed into the army
to wage war on the tribes, and another
protracted campaign is expected. The
United States had just such experiences
carte blanche to fight to a finish, and
when they pursued and attacked rebel
lious Indians without parleying and
bargaining the troubles were soon end
ed.
The Tagal warriors who fight and run
away, or never fight, but pick Off a SOL
der here and there in the Philippines
are the Apaches or Yaquis of the island
country, and the backbone of the insur-
gent forces. To buy off their leader
would not result in permanent peace.
Among Indians wherever found author
ity is never maintained except by Prov
ess. They will never respect the author
ity of the new owners of the country
until convinced that the United States
has an invincible force, which can hold
its own
The Indians of the United States are
at last submissive to the government,
but it is because growing intelligence
and past experiences teach them that
their efforts at disorder bring failure
and punishment.

MAY GET OUT OF DEBT.

Delinquent taxpayers are numerous
in all the counties. In San Miguel coun-
5000, 900 delinquent. In this county the
sum delinquent is probably larger than
in San Miguel county. The operation of
the Duncan revenue law will force the
payment of taxes in all the counties of
the territory, and with economy in a
few years they can be out of debt, with
all county improvements paid for. The
tax collections the past quarter were
the largest in the history of the terri
tory.

Colonel j. Francisco Chaves, as CEN
sus supervisor, will have many appli-
cations from people who wish to assist
in the work in New Mexico. But as he
knows nearly every man in the terri
tory, and comes pretty near knowing
all the conditions and facts of every To-
cality, incompetent people need not ap-
ply, and poor work can scarcely be
passed up to Washington. New Mexi-
co will get a fair deal in the census.

tons. A hundred years of peace and alb
n of friction might result in gov
ernments cutting off expenses for arma-
ment, but such a continuous period of
tranquility is of the impossibilities. The
United States, when she had no colonial
possessions, came as near disarmament
as n nation has eyer done, but there
is a strong feeling now that it were
better for the country had it not pur-
his course.
