Before starting for Winnemucca Will
liam j. Bryan sat down in ois office in

Editor in Charge OF Dewey Fund.
New York Journal.
Dear Sir: l take pleasure IN inciosing
contribution for Dewey fund. Dewey de-
serves the compliment you pay him. To
him came an opportunity such as comes
10 few. and he improved 1t well. Yours
truly.
Spoken like n man and an American,
William. 1t is TO be hoped that your
dime will be beaten into the loving cup
just where the hero OF Manila will place
ais lips when he drinks TO the stars and
stripes-'wherc It has once waved as
he emblem of American victory, there
stays"
The opportunity which George Dewey
improved so well has given to the Unit
ed States n splendid responsibility and
opportunity from which il will not
shrink.
We congratulate Mr.. Bryan on the
Americansm that does not shrink from
paying the tribute OF its dine to tao
man who sailed into Manila bay and
stayed there.-Chicago Times-Ecrald.

DEMOCRACY OF OHIO.
A Platform which Has for Foun-
dalton nut IA CrumbIing Mass
of Pretenses.

Ohio democrats, in nominating plu.
tocrat for governor on an anti-capital
platform, confirmed the general opin-
ion that il is money in the abstract and
not i'm its concrete form to which they
object. But that in itself is not SO sim
gular in democratic conventions as to
excite much comment, and the chiei
feature Of the Ohio convention was lis
reafilrmation of the Chicago platform
and the reabsorption Of Bryan. These
two things go together, the pedestal and
the statue, though it is little awkward
to imagine as a statue one who talks so
much.
The chairman Of the democratic con-
vention in Ohio said: "The democratic
party of Ohio stands squarcly upon
every plank of the Chicago platform Of
1896" and the conventions resolutions
began: I'VE heartily reafIirm. the entire
Chicago platform OF 1896, and we espc-
cially emphasize the financial plank
therein" A party that could emphasize
that could emphasize anything; and so
they went on: civilian j. Bryan still
retains our entire confidence, and we
demand his denomination in 1900"
This action by the Ohio democrats
makes more certain the already assured
denomination OF Bryan on the Chicago
platform. The issues of the national
campaign OF 1000 are already deter
mined. The republican party will not
fear 20 again accept the duty OF level
ing n platform whose worm-eaten six
teen by one planks are reinforced by
the striking false work OF anti-expan-
sion. Ohio democrats simply share in
their party's mania, but this republic

is one of the most curiously shaped
counties to be found. It has thirteen
square corners and it's greatest width
from east to west is 1OS miles and it's
greatest length from north to south is 80
miles. 1t contains about 1900
square miles of territory and embraces
a region that is one of the richest in
resources in the southwest. It's popu-
lation is about 1000, of whom $500 are
Americans. the Mexican population
being almost wholly in the old towns
of Tularosa and La Luz.
About One-fourth of the territory Is
timber land. The Sacramento noun
tsins contain the finest timber of every
variety to be found in the southwes..
About one-half is grazing land and sup
ports q great many head OF cattle. The
remaining fourth ia mineral land and
includes the Jarilla mountains. The
entire rsinbelt of the Sacramento
mountains is embraced in the new
county, as we'll as the Mescalero Indian
reservation, soon to be opened up for
settlement.
The county is bounded on the north
the northeast corner by White noun
tain. Thus it has as corner monuments
the two highest mountains in southern
New Mexico.
The first settlement made within the
limits of the new county was made in
Tularosa in 1862. The settlers were
fugitives from the Mexican settlement
of Picacho which had been destroyed
by q sudden rise in the waters of the
Rio Grande. They were few in num-
bers and lived in constant dread of an
attack by rowing bands of the murder

THE country in the neighborhood of
Jarilla on the Ell Paso and Northeast

more attention. There is no doubt
that to that country we are justified in
looking for an enormous increase in
trade and growth in population that

the opportunities there offered and in
