Every year that perennial specter, the
fruit killing frost, stalks abroad on chill
ly nights and curdles the blood that pre-
sumably courses through the veins of
the resident damphools in the Animas
valley. No amount of contrary expert
ence, no number of object lessons serve
to dampen the ardor of the genus dam
phool as he grows in this county.
Year by year, year by year, the fruit
trees in San Juan county orchards u
and bloom and yield in abundance their
offerings to Pomona, goddess of fruit;
the grains and grasses, the vegetables
and the varied products of field and
farm are with few exceptions as regular
in their yield as the seasons in their
coming. But all to no purpose. Some
intermittent idiot gets it into his head
that the fruit crop is frosted, frozen
and kertlummixed, and from his self
appointed vantage points on the hilltOps
along the valleys he cries the glad
tidings of great joy" to all the world.
And so the word goes on its way and
| merrily gets in it's annual work, that the
apple crop and the peach crop and the
| pear and plum and apricot crops in San
Juan county are Z failure, a fearful,
final failure.
1t is true that there have been in
stances here of failure in some one or
two varieties of fruit at different sea-
sons. 1t is also true that San Juan
county, like every other fruit-producing
country on earth, is liable to a complete
or partial failure of crops in the years
to come. There is no mystery in this
circumstance and no reason for conceal
ing 1t. When it has occurred or shall
occur, our people have and will so state
it, just as they would state any other
fact Of equal Importance.
This season the outlook for apples and
nearly all the main varieties of fruit is
most excellent, though there may be
isolated sections where the crop will be
light. But one swallow does not make
a spring, neither does one unproductive
tree make a universal crop failure nor
one calamity bowler make a commune
ty. This idea of borrowing trouble is a
bad one. and works immense harm to
the county.

Court in the Brush.

The present term of court in st. Clair
county, Mo-, is being held in the bush,
at a hollow in the hills one day and
elsewhere tn. next, wherever the men,
bers can best meet without the presence
of deputies of the United States mar
shall finding them. The reason for this
is an old story. Twenty years ago the
county was tricked into issuing bonds
for a railway that has never been built,
and the bonds were sold to innocent
purchasers. The county officials have
refused to levy taxes to pay bonds or
interest, and writs of mandate have
been issued by the United States court
to compel a tax levy. Several sets of
officials have served terms in Jail for
contempt in refusing to obey the order.
1t is a condition of election that the in
cumbents shall go to jail rather than
provide for payment of the bonds. A
few days ago., when the regular term of
court was to be held, the deputies were
on hand at the court house with an as
sortment of mandamuses to serve upon
the representatives of the people, but
they came not. Court was being held in
the brush, like the congress of Agui-
naldo, and the deputies are having
about as much success in catching up
with the court as General Otis is in
finding the Filipino congress.

tiers is greater than that of any other

enter Liverpool or London, and the traf-

Bound to Change Its Name.

Eddy people will IN May 90 vote on a
proposition to change the town name
from Eddy to Carlsbad. The majority
of its citizens seem to be in favor of the
change, and expressed themselves thus
at a mass meeting.
The origin of the name K%arlsbad, or
Carlsbad anglicised, is little known in
this country. The d%iscoverer of the
spring was a hunters dog who leaped
into the pool and was boiled. The dog
was named Karl, and the hunter called
the spring "Karl's bad "Karl's bath"
Carlsbad but Eddy is worse according
to the view of Eddy people. 1t is their
town, and they have a right to rechris-
ten it. The springs near there will not
boil CANNES, but the water is a sover-
eign cure for dyspepsia and chronic
stomach and kidney troubles.

Spellina Reform.

Spelling reform goes on gradually.
Newspapers clip a superfluous terminal
letter now and then. and custom
tions the reform. For instance, the ma
jority of newspapers now spell program
without the final me-" also catalog and
decalog without "ue," frequently.
Words ending in a similar manner will
also be clipped in time, and will be dem
agog and pedagog.
The National Educational Associa-
gone to a greater length, for DR.. E. Ben
jamin Andrews, superintendent of in
struction in Chicago, says that the asso-
citation has made certain recommended
tions which he urges Chicago teachers
to adopt, u words being named now,
with more to follow.
The changed words proposed for use
are: Program, tho, altho, thorofare,
thru, turnout. catalog, prolog, decalog,
demagog and pedagog.
The shortening of demagog is not a
bad idea. If he could be eliminated
from d to e, there would be little loss
from the vocabulary, but as most peo-
pie read by sight they could not easily
accept thru for through. And such rad
ical changes are not likely to prevail.
The New Mexican has already dis
carded me from words ending with mme

loving g.

by a southern line, spending six weeks
in this n OF course, the journey
will have considerable political bearing,
for the visit of the president will u

plan of the Republican committee to

Dental election, including Colorado and
Nebraska, and thus put an end to the
silver political parties. Less attention
will be paid to Delaware, Kentucky,

The Democratic press is in the habit
of condemning everything that ema-
mates from the national administration
and to commend off-hand everything
bearing a party label. Democratic poll
ticians think a useful party paper is
N prepared to forget that there is any
day of party reckoning, forget duty to
the people, and ready through thick
and thin to hail every act of theirs, no
matter how unwise or how selfishly die
tated, as inspired and not to be ques-
toned except at the risk of a charge of
treason. Democratic politicians with
selfish schemes hope to gain success by
aflxing to them a party label, with the
aid of newspapers. Nothing is more es-
sential to a strong political party able
to secure the peoples confidence and
win elections and make good use of
power than a party press that is watch
full and warning against party mis-
takes. The newspaper echo Of opinions,
arguments, conferences and caucuses

Much could be accomplished for New
Mexico by systematic improvement of
Santa Fe and other towns. A CONNER
cial club in Santa Fe, open air concerts,
a public casino, more walks and drives
and easier access to points of interest
could be provided, something every year
until Santa Fe becomes as attractive a
summer resor as any other city in the
west. All the streets should be sprin-
killed. continually, shade trees planted
along all thoroughfares, vacant and I'M
slightly lots turned into orchards or
flower gardens, rocks and tins be picked

THE

tSl. LOUIS 1lODe- DeIllDcTdl,)
A few prominent COMMUNICATIONS
and not by any means those most
noted for practical views or a general
following-are bitterly, even rabidly,
opposed to the annexation of the Phil
ippines, but it can not be said that they
speak for any but themselves. The Ger
man-Americans have not followed Carl
Schurz from party to party, His war
on Grant was not approved by them,
nor was his alteration of Cleveland. 1t
is to be regretted that DR.. Preetorius, of
this city, is so violent in his editorial
consideration of the Philippine problem.
His tone of excited denunciation is not
the mark of vigorous thought properly
restrained. With all his gifts and quail
ties, the doctor lives in the past. Yet
new duties and new policies must in
evitably arise in this great nation. They
can not be settled by the morbidly con
sentative nor by gusts of passion. The
COMMUNICATIONS have elected no
spokesman in regard to the Philippines.
Like other citizens, they will take sides
when issues are made up.

BY request of the American Fisheries
Society, that will meet at Niagara Falls
in June. Governor Otero has chosen ten
delegates to the gathering. AS there are
no perquisites, not even railway passes,
the office had to seek the men. some
thing somewhat unusual in the history
of the territory. Therefore, the APP
pOintees We're selected especially for
their fitness acquired through annual
outings with rod and eel It probably
occurred to the governor also that these
appOintees can uphold the credit of the
territory better than Others when it
comes to telling fish lies, which will
probably be the leading feature of the
program, and that they would be will
ing to go and pay railway expenses in
order to work off their yarns upon a
new set of listeners.

AMERICA THE CIVILIZER.
Chicago Times. Herald

That we are in Cuba, Puerto Rico and
the Philippines today is neither the
choice nor the fault of the American
people. 1t is due to the civilizing pro-
cess that for nearly 1900 years has been
rolling back the dominion of darkness,
ignorance and oppression. Spain herself
was an instrument in the process when
when she sent out Columbus to plant the
cross in Puerto Rico and Cuba and in its
name took possession of the Philippines
early in the 10th century.
While always savage and selfish, Span
ish rule in America and in the Pacific
was an advance upon the barbaric con-
ditions that preceded it. But with
degeneracy at home, Spanish rule abroad
became both cruel and impotent. 1t is
easy to trace the steady recession of
Spanish power on this continent, until
Cuba and Puerto Rico were all that suf-
fered under the blighting rule of a people
whose sovereignty was once almost CO.
extensive with the hemisphere.
