Iron Ore in New Mexico,

the iron ore there, which is now going
to mills at Pueblo, Colo, in quantities
of 200 to 500 tons daily, where it is made
into rails. There is no fuel in Grant
county, but half a dozen counties in
New Mexico could furnish coal to such
an enterprise.

The peace talk that the agents OF
Aguinaldo made to General Otis a few
days ago brought a statement from one
general that the Filipinos had rather
be ruled as a colony by the Spanish
than by Americans, because the Fill
pinos thought the Americans could not
handle colonies so well, for lack of ex-
p%erience, and the natives did not wish
to be experimental upon for a hundred
years while the Americans are learning
how to manage colonial possessions
The Spanish certainly had experience,
and if the Filipinos like Spanish rule
better than to take the risk of a change
to a system under control of a people
who have not learned to be cruel and to
rob colonial lands, then a good deal of
is wasted by those who think
the natives of the islands deserve free

for the past three months the

revenue under existing laws will be suf-
ficient to meet all expenses, including
the outlay resulting from the wal in the
Philippine islands. Under Democratic
management and free trade the country
could not make both ends meet, and had
to borrow 1882, 900, 900 in order to pay ex-
penses and keep a surplus on hand.

(Amarillo, Tex, ~Champion.)

NftIidI ftO, 1eA., 1HdIIlplOH.D
AS announced last week, the vice
president and general manager of the
Choctaw route was in Amarillo with a
full corps of surveyors, and on Monday
ing east by north toward Weatherford,
Okla, the present terminus of the line
from Memphis, Tenn.
Since Mr.. Wood has been here the
magnitude of the undertaking is ap-
parent from various conversations and
newspaper articles. 1t is stated OF re-
liable information that from Memphis
eastward a deal has been made for a
line running directly to New York. 1t
is also stated that trackage will be
leased over the Pecos Valley road to
Roswell, and that from Roswell a line
will be constructed to the coal fields and
a connection made with the Ell Paso &
Northeastern railroad, thus giving a
direct line from New York to Ell Paso.
This view of the case is confirmed by
Colonel Eddy, of the Ell Paso & North
eastern, who has stated officially that it
Is not the intention of his road to seek
or make connection with the Rock Is
land railroad at Liberal, Kan.
The completion of this new road to
l Amarillo and Roswell will be an event
I Of great moment to this city and Ros-
we'll, as it will open up to both cities the
| coal fields of New Mexico and make
each to be a city of Importance. But the
immediate effect will be felt at ANA

The Pacific Ocean Trade.

Trade follows the flag is an old ia
the United States exported to the Phil
ippines goods valued at $685. 0 Then
Dewey took the flag to Manila. In the
first six months of the following year
the United States exports to the islands
footed up 1856, 900, and the imports from
the islands in six months of this year
were 81, 900, 900 greater than in the first
six months of 1898. There has also been
a great increase in trade with Cuba,
Porto Rico and Hawaii.
In the Philippine islands the ON
MERGE amounts to $50, O00, 900 annually.
In Manila alone 10000 persons are en-
ployed in making cigars and preparing
tobacco for market. A million bales of
hemp are shipped yearly, of which 40
per cent come to the United States.
On the Pacific ocean the trade of Eng
land has been 5000, 900, 900 per year, and
the United States has had but third
as much. But the stars and stripes are
now there, and trade will follow. In
twenty years the figures will be re-
versed, for American manufacturers
can take any market in which they
come in contact with Europe. The en-
tire of the Pacific ocean Is
estimated at 81, 900, 900, 900. With civiliza-
ton accomplished the demands Of the
people will multiply and be
increased.
In 1883, in the United States senate,
W. HI. Seward said: you want the
commerce of the world, which Is the
empire of the world. This Is to be
looked for not on the American lakes,
nor on the Atlantic ocean, MOI on the
Caribbean sea, nor on the Mediterra-
mean, nor on the Baltic, but on the Pa
cific ocean, and it's islands and CONT
nents. Multiply your ships and send
them to the far east. The nation that
draws most material and provisions
from the earth and sells the most pro-
dnctions and fabrics to foreign nations
must and will be the great power Of the
EARTH
The California coast Is 1000 miles
nearer the Philippines than rs Great
Britain. The United States Is destined
to be the greatest commercial power,
for the conditions spoken of in that
speech in the senate have been attained.

The Ohio political campaign is a ma
tional matter. The Democratic party
in it's platform has made an attack up
on the financial policy Of the national
Republican party, and upon the expan-
sion policy, and thus put the Republic
ans upon the defensive regarding the
conduct of government affairs. In 1863
the copperheads, or anti-war party,
made the same sort of an effort to win
an election in Ohio, and to elect their
chief, vallandigham, governor upon the
plea that the war was a failure and the
administration should be rebuked. The
contest was watched with particular in
terest in the army camps over the
south, but Ohio rebuked the political
contingent which sought to embarrass
the government in time of a
