among other things. that the yield Of rice

All Of these lands have been cropped for

GENERAL CHARLES KING, who has
just returned from the Philippines af-
ter having made for himself fine re-
cord as a commanding officer, makes
the statement that only one tribe out
of the thirty or more in the islands is
in actual revolt against the authority OF
the United States-the Tagals- This
being the testimony of man who
knows, it ought to and doubtless will
stand over against the pitiful howls OF
the anti-Americans, who have been
pouring out their vocabulary in their
attempt to aid the''patriotic Filipinos"
in their fight against the United
States.

MANY of the alleys of the city are
filled with mass of rubbish pa
per, rags, wire. glass, etc.,-which
looks as if it had been carefully gather
ed in the streets and thrown in the al
leys out of somebody's sight. 1t may
be that the dirt blew in the alleys and
gathered itself into little piles, but the
fact remains that every breeze
that blows scatters the stuff
all over the streets again, and the
last state is worse than the first. Some
cities let out the street clean
ing monopoly to a man who pays for the
privilege, and then realizes enough

innate investment of capital as does
Ell Paso, and every new enterprise
should be given all possible encourage

ating in this city, such as
stores or manufacturing plants. the
coming of other plants to
compete with those already existing
ought to be discouraged, and capital
turned into come channel where 1t
would not compete with that already
invested. Such a narrow and selfish,
not to say uneccnomic, view of modern
industry is, happily, not often met
with in this live western city. What
we want here is active competition in

THE news yesterday that the demand
for iron in all its manufactured ard
manufactured forms has solar exec ed
ed the supply as to justify substantial
raise in prices according to the laws Of
supply and demand is only one more
evidence that the United States is now
passing through an era of prosperity
the like of which has never been seen
before. It is true that there have been
other eras of extreme activity in fin
ancial and industrial circles, when
values have been inflated and stocks of
manufactured goods increased beyond
the power of the people to consume tt g
goods. But at this time there is every
evidence that the activity is genuine
and that the only difficulty Is in keep
ing up with the demand both at home
and abroad. The republican platform
of 1896 is being proved day by day.

The highest civilization is the alb

ministration with such safeguards that
it will command respect. Tardy justice

THE expected has happened, and
Zsch White has sued the city for the
amount of his bill for electric lights
furnished TO the city since January and
has demanded that the city live up to
the contract which was approved by
the council, signed by the mayor with
most unseemly haste, and later vetoed
by the mayor and revoked under
pressure from the indignant citi-
zens. Many able slawyers at
that time.said the contract could not be
held to bind the city. and it remains to
be seen who was right. Perhaps it will
be seen that the mayor is not yet deli
vered out of all his troubles, for if the
contract should be upheld in the courts
certainly the wrath of the.people would
descend again on the head of that same
MAYOR.
