Two Republics Now Friendly.

An affair on the border between cow
boys and Mexican customs guards has
led to troops from both sides of the line
assembling to preserve order. Though
they lace each other, there is no danger
of a conflict between the two military
forces. They are not there to engage in
battle, and the era of good feeling which
prevails between the two countries is
guarantee that no fresh" military Off
cial of either side will dare to make
trouble. There vas a time when the
Mexicans were jealous of the approach
of United States troops to the border,
and American settlers were intolerant
of their neighbors over the line. But
intercourse and business dealings have
removed the mutual distrust and dis
like that formerly existed on the Dor
der. Much of the credit for this is u
to the foresight of President Dia in
sending officials to the north who were
smooth enough to prevent friction and
to cultivate friendly relations with the
American people. He has done much to
aid the Americans in removing the idea
once common in Mexico that the United
States contemplated the annexation Of
that land. This has been done by show
ing his admiration of the Americans
and by seeking their aid in improving
industrial conditions through making
investments there. When President
Diaz comes to this country Americans
should show their appreciation of what
he has lone to cement the commercial
union now existing between the two re-
publics.

Exhaustion Benefits The South.

Senator Morgan, of Alabama, says
the term 'expansionist' is a misnomer,
and those who call themselves by that
nam should be termed contraction
lists" He does not believe that there
will be any split in either of the great
parties upon this issue. The Democrat
ic convention may make a foolish decla-
ration upon this subject because Bryan
and his followers may sc direct, but the
masses of the party will decline to con-
slider that an issue, and will support
their party upon other grounds, In so
far as they do support it. According to
the opinion of Senator Morgan, the
south will receive greater benefit from
trade expansion in the Philippines than
any other portion of the country.
One-half of the cotton and cotton
products which now go to Asia are dis
tributed from Liverpool in British bot
toms, or other European ships. When
the Nicaraguan canal is constructed
and hat is an inevitable and a logical
outgrowth of the present position-the
cotton n cotton products and the 1rO
and iron products of the south will
reach Asiatic markets over a direct and
shorter route than the circuitous road
via Liverpool.
The shortening of distance will be ac-
companied by a cheapening Of at least
one-third in the cost of transportation.
This is a saving which will go into the
pockets of the producers at home. It Is
at present going into the pockets Of
British ship-owners. Manila will then
become the great entrepot of the far
east for products, which will find their
way into the Asiatic markets. This
trade, despite the great distance, will be
essentially a coastwise trade, with Ma
Mia at one end Of the route and South
ern and Pacific ports at the other end.

Reasonable Editorials Without Influence.

The Roswell Record is 8. Democratic
paper that begins an editorial in de-
Tense of Bryan and winds up in this
tanner:
I'VE see our boys, inspired by a prin-
chile noble. even though falsely in
stilled, march and sail away to a death
cursed land, there to die like sheep, or
to return to us poor wrecks of men. And
for what? Not to enforce n single
precept of freedom, or the faith OF our
fathers, not to add one CLEAN to the
stars that shine from the field of blue
on the grandest flag on this or n 9TH
err planet. Only to carry on a war of
monstrous determination, to serve a
base purpose i'm deluding the people to
add to the power of the Republican
party"
The very same week this partisan ut
terance was circulated t~hirty-five
young men in Roswell enlisted for serv-
ice in the Philippines and left with
Lieutenant George Curry for San Fran
cisco. The local columns of the Record
gave the list of the recruits, asserted
that every one was a Democrat, and
added that this indicates that the pres
emit war is not a partisan affair" Acts
of the loyal people speak louder than
the words of the partisan papers.

PRESS COMMENT.

New York Evening Post.)

FEDERAL AUTHORITY IN STATES.
New York Evening Post.)
There was a time when the south
would have bitterly resented anything
which looked like an extension of the
powers of the federal judiciary, but that
time has passed. Not ever Arkansas
will flame with indignation against this
snub of a state court, On the contrary,
the more progressive southerners have
already begun to discuss whether the
powers of the federal government in
the various states ought not to be made
still broader than they are now. The
Galveston (Tex.) News, in considering
the problem of lynching, appropos Of
the recent murder of several Italians
by IA mob at Tallulah, La, has taken the
ground that some kind Of federal legis-
lation may be needed to protect the ma
ton from costly troubles when the VIC
Tins of such outrages are subjects of
other powers. 1.-The most ardent advo-
Gates of states rights" say the News,
will admit that something must be
done, and done at once" and 1t serves
notice that "it will not do for them to
stop with the old scream against federal
encroachment, and for the sovereignty
of the state"

BANE OF MINING CAMPS.


The bane Of the new mining camps Is
the fellow who arrives In the early days
of the rush, pitches his tent, or, more
often, his blankets, having no tent, and
then starts u to claim the county.
With a Ratchet In one hand and a lead
pencil in the other he blazes and claims
as far as he can walk in a day, or, II
there be no timber, he builds mOnu-
ments. He keeps this up for a week or
so, and then m into camp to stay.
He always talks a lot, but does no work.
He takes occasional trips out among the
hills to see il any one has made a dis
covery OF any Of his claims. Not infre-
quently his industry In this direction is
rewarded by finding some n actually
working on one of his mines, and a
wordy difficulty at n ensues-the
more apparent the value of the discov-
cry, the more heated the discussion as
to who Is the rightful owner. This fell
low will do nothing himself, and his
intimidating methods prevent others,
who would otherwise do something,
from working, thus retarding the de-
velopment OF the entire camp.

Secretary Wilson, Of the department
of agriculture, says that meat eaters
are bound to rule the world. Should the
English take to a potato diet for "a few
decades and the Irish to roast beef, the
secretary thinks the capital of Great
Britain would be moved to Dublin. Ac-
cording to the same reasoning should
the lion and the COW exchange diets, the
COW would Dor be the terror of man.
There Is something in this theory. No
rice eating or vegetarian nation ever
was feared by other nationalities, nor
have those who live mainly upon fruits
ever been equally matched in a contest
with a race fed upon meats. The ques-
ton long ago asked, Upon what meat
hath this u Caesar fed that he hath
grown 10 great?" showed that in early
times meat was considered as n factor
In greatness.

SUGGESTION FOR ORCHARDISTS.
(San Juan Index.)
Something along the line of the organ
ization Of a horticultural society or the
holding of a farmers institute this fall
is in contemplation by interested par
ties in this county. The idea suggested
is to get the fruit growers, ranchmen
and all the tillers of the soil to join to-
gether for mutual advancement in OBJ
tanning knowledge of correct methods
of dealing with the problems that con-
front the horny-handed granger at ev-
cry turn. Everywhere gratifying sue
cess attends association of this charac-
ter. All lines of trade and all profess
sions have their organizations and fire.
quent meetings for mutual improve
ment, but not one of them confers the
benefit on it's members that is derived
from an intelligently conducted asso-
citation of farmers.

Secretary of State Hay says there is
no alliance with England, never was
one, no proposition for such was ever
made to President Mckinley, and would
not be considered We're it made. The
secretary admits that the relations be-
tween the two governments are more
friendly than ever before, and asks why
they should not be, since it is desirable
to have friends rather than enemies,
Similar improved relations Exist be-
tween this country, Russia, Germany
and France. The story of a secret alll-
ance with England is told by Democrats
only for the purpose of appealing to
Irish voters to vote against the admin
~istration.

THE MILITARY INSTITUTE.
(Roswell Register.)

(ftOSWell fteBlSttT.)
The military institute opened Tues
day with a full house. A list Of the ca
diets enrolled this week appears in an
other column. They are a fine body of
young men, and show up splendidly in
every way. The school starts with every
prospect of fiattering success. The re-
ceipts for this week are over So, 800, and
more students are coming. Such a
showing is very gratifying to all inter-
ested in the success of the institute. 1t
is the result of the energetic work done
by superintendent Meadors during the
vacation, and of the widespread popu-
larity of the school. 1t stands to-day at
the head of educational institutions in
the territory, and is growing in favor
each month. Colonel Meadors is to be
congratulated Upon the success of his
labors.

The great deal by which soc, 900 head
of cattle and a few million acres Of land
in Texas and New Mexico were to be
bought by an eastern syndicate has not
been closed. The promoter is still claim
ing that the money is ready, but options
having again expired he is for the Sec
ond time chasing ranch owners to Sc
cure renewals. The fact is that the
capital never has been ready, and the
promoters have only been hunting a
market while pretending to have one
already secured. 1t is a good thing for
the section concerned that the combina-
ton cannot be made.

There are something under 100, 900
Beers who can shoulder arms. But
there is about 1920, 600, 900 per annum of
gold coming from the ~Transvaal, and
that immense output outwefghts the
may be patriotism and glory for the
stubborn race in resisting the inevita-
BILE, but as sur as fate disaster finally
awaits them unless they compromise
and consent to take second place in the
south Of Africa. England is deliberate
now, because she has learned the fight
ing quality Of the Beers, but when the
contest comes the stake is too great to
admit of an unfinished task.

THE JURY LAW.
carlsbad Argus.)

Court officials are finding that the
new jury law, while one of merit, has
several defects hal could be remedied
to advantage. The qualifications for
jury service are stringent, as of right
they should be, the Argus believes, but
they have cut down the list of eligible
persons in Eddy county to about 100,
and in the event several special venires
were necessary it is a serious question
whether they could be secured. But as
the saying runs, this bridge will be
crossed when it is reached, and until
something more perplexing develops
the Argus records it's approval Of the
workings Of the new law. A little ex-
pensive, perhaps, but look at the i'm
proved tone of the juries.

The T~ransvaal government has, it is
said, decided to confiscate the mines of
Englishmen charged with high treason.
If they do take the gold mines and
work them the British will soon end the
war by crowding in enough troops to
suppress the Beers. England will never
consent for her citizens to be deprived
of property which returns s120, 0O0, 900
per annum Whatever wrongs English
men may have endured in the Trans
vaal, they still have the mines, which
they obtained legally and have devel-
oped, and no civilized country would
permit wholesale confiscation of such
property. Loss of this output of gold
would be serious, not only to fndivid-
uals, but to Great Britain as a nation.

The colored regiments being organ
lied for service in the Philippine islands
will introduce a new feature in that all
the company officers will be colored,
most of them promoted non-commis-
stoned officers of the regular service.
Only the field officers will be white. II
these two regiments prove serviceable
and stand the climate Of the islands
better than white troops then the regi-
ments on barrack duty after the war
ends will probably be mainly of colored
men.

France has released Captain Dreyfus.
Foreign public opinion accomplished
this much for the cause of justice. 1t
was certainly not because of a demand
from the French people themselves that
would have been a riot had the pardon
beer granted before the outside world
condemned France for the conviction of
this man to satisfy a military clique
and because of race prejudice. 1t has
been good for the people of France to
see themselves as others see them.
