Prohibitionjst Political %F0oIishness.

A new temperance party has been
launched in Chicago, and with the char
acteristic magnitude Of everything from
Chicago. it claims to be able to cast
LOCO, 900 votes and to have $1,000, 900.
Both the millions are pledged for use in
1900. The Prohibition party has scored
but once. In 1884 states were lost to the
Republican party by reason of the Pro-
hibitionists voting for st. John, and
thereby causing the election of Cleve-
land. That disaster made the majority
of the Prohibitionists, who were Repub-
Leans, ashamed. Since then h tenn
perance party has not cut much of a
figure in politics. In 1892 the total vote
for the Prohibition nominee for presi-
lent was 264, 900 out of over 1000, O0O.
In 1896 the Prohibition vote fell to 49,
900, scattered over the country, and not
changing the result in any state. The
Prohibitionists had grown tired of
throwing away their votes in times
when issues We're at stake calling upon
all good citizens to vote for an impor-
tant purpose. The Prohibition party has
never controlled a legislature nor Sc
cured the passage of a single law. The
temperance laws in northern and west
ern states were enacted by Republican
legislatures, and in the south Demo-
Gratis enacted the local option laws.
About all the effect the Prohibitionists
and their agitation ever have Is to har-
rass the saloon element and drive them
into voting solidly against Republican
or Democratic candidates who may be
deemed likely to vote for legislation re-
stricting the liquor traffic. Prohibition
lists, as an element for good, count but
little when they join a party with but
one idea and i~nore the Importance of
electing men who have proper views on
national measures requiring attention,
and which will be acted upon for good
or evil, while the issue which the Prohi-
bitionist would put forward as para
mount will be considered as one for flu
ture solution.

The Pecos Valley railway is in HARD
luck, of a certain sort. 1t has had to
purchase additional locomotives to ham
advantage railway companies labor un-
der now, that they cannot keep all the
money they receive. The Santa Fe also
has to buy additional equipment, and
vast volume of business on it's New
Mexico branch to the capital. And the
new line into Otero and Lincoln coun-
ties is buying engines, freight and coal
cars by the dozens.

Another attempt to produce a univer-
sal language is contemplated in connec-
ton with the Paris exposition of next
year.. The asst effort to popularize "vol-
apuk" was unsuccessful, but better
things are hoped of 'es paranto," for
which it's inventors claim a marvellous
simplicity, which, they consider, should
commend it at once to all nations. Its
grammar is declared to be so easy that
it can be acquired in the space of a sim
gle hour, despite the rather d%iscourag-
ing fact that it has been compiled by a
Russian savant. Already, it is said, a
journal written in the new language is
published at Epernay. Language is not
made. Like Topsy, it has Just growed,'
and the scholars are wasting time in
seeking to manufacture substitutes for
existing tongues.

In 1892, when protection was in full
blast, the business Of the country was
in a healthy condition. During the years
while free trade was impending and in
force, that is, between the fall of 1892
and 1896, a disastrous depression set in
cy was rife and great numbers of work
ingmen were deprived of employment,
and, with their families, reduced to
want. AS soon as Mckinley and a Re
publican congress We're elected and a
at once revived, and the country en-
tered on a career of prosperity that
makes it the envy of the rest of the
world.

There is not the least doubt that by
suitable provision for storing n dis
tributing the water hat runs to waste
in the spring floods, large bodies of arid
lands in Arizona, New Mexico, Mon
tana, Utah and other territory lying
west of the Mississippi river might be
reclaimed and rendered fruitful. Mil
lions of acres might thus be brought
into the market and made to contribute
to the productive wealth of the country.
But it is by no means desirable that the
federal government should undertake
the task of irrigation. That may prop
erly be left to the regulation of the
states within whose boundaries the arid
lands are situated and to the enterprise
of capitalists who are always ready to
invest in profitable enterprise.

The SANTA FE SYSTEM.
Remarkable Record of the Present Manage.
ment Of a Great Railway.

Three and a half years ago, reckoning
to June 30, the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railway Company succeeded
the railroad company of the same name,
which had broken down financially
from its own weight and hard times.
The reorganization of this vast fabric
was a work of extraordinary difficulty.
and there were those who predicted its
early failure. The fourth annual report
of the new company, just issued, shows
that the great undertaking is already a
success. For the year ended on June 30
the earnings of the 7.10S miles, to which
the system has already grown, after
losing much mileage in the r~eorganiza-
ton, We're sufficient to pay all expenses
and fixed charges and full interest on
the income bonds-not obligatory unless
~earned-and to increase the surplus to
an amount that allowed the payment of
a second dividend on preferred stock,
and still left almost 49, 0O, 900 in the
treasury. The financial plan of the re-
seemed at the outset to many, is a DEM
onstrated success. The capitalization
now stands as follows:
Total amount of bonds. 49,. . $3.50, 259, 900
