10. e. Sheridan's Stand.
(Silver City Enterprise.)

1t is rumored that Colonel Jo. e.
Sheridan, editor and publisher of the
Silver City Enterprise, will dispose of
his newspaper plant about the LIST of
March, and HE himself to Nevada,
where he will engage in mining On
the retirement of Mr.. Sheridan, the
newspaper fraternity of New Mexico
will lose one of their most able members
and a "a horse the Republican party
of southern New Mexico
Citisen.
Thank you, Brothers of the Citizen, for
the foregoing very complimentary notice
of the editor of this paper. but there is
mistake in regard to his going to
Nevada to mine. New Mexico is good
enough for us, we have made fortunes
in the territory before. and expect to
repeat the performance again. We ex-
pect to give a little more attention to
IL mining interests in the future, but
it is doubtful that we quit the news
paper fraternity and absolutely certain
that we will not quit the dear old Re-
publican party. We may kick a line or
two, but we never kick ove the traces,
nor balk in the harness. Nor will we
stand hitched when the Democrats think
they have us tired out.

Trade Conditions.

The remarkable volume of business
transacted on the floors of the various
stock exchanges in the country the past
| week, resulting as it did in an advance
of prices almost unprecedented, has
been taken as the subject for sermons
by the pessimistic, anti-Republican pa
pers of the whole country upon the in
EQUITY of ''st ock gambling" and claim.
ing that transactions of that kind dc
not benefit the country in any degree.
That the benefits of transactions on
stock exchanges are not widespread in
t~heir'benefts may be true enough, but
at the same time prices of stocks and
bonds reflect the condition of the coun-
cry at large. When railroad and other
securities are selling at low figures, NO
n will be mistaken in assuming that
business conditions are discouraging,
trade at a low ebb, and that capital is
hiding out; on the other hand when
stocks and bonds soar skyward in prices,
it is a sure indication that general pros
perity is enjoyed throughout the land.
Never before in the history of the
Uniteo States have there been so many
reasons for an advance in securities and
commodities of all kinds. The mills
and factories are unable to fill the ord
ers which are received from the jobbers
and retailers; the demand for food prod
ucts at home is enormous and foreign
countries are eagerly taking all that can
be shipped; trade with nations in Eu-
rope, Asia and Africa has reached a
point where the amount of products eX-
ported are almost beyond computation,
and the indications all point to an in
crease in foreign trade as time passes.
Railroads are not able to meet the de-
mands for transportation made upon
their facilities, and all other industries
are hampered in their development by
the lack of proper appliances, resulting
from the demands made upon supply
concers. When these things are taken
into consideration, is there any wonder
that stocks and bonds, farm products
and prepared provisions are advancing
in value and that there is excitement on
the different exchanges Of the country?
Conditions are such that the calamity
bowling press and people should take a
dismal view of what is going on in the
commercial world. 1t is only. too true
that certain politicians and papers pros
per during times of depression and low
prices, and nothing more than predic-
tions of dire catastrophe a be expect
ed from that class of population, when
prosperity and commercial activity fill
the land.

meeting the just responsibilities it may
incur as such towards other powers in
the discharge OF its national duties"
While the above was originally stated
with reference to recognition of belli-
gerency, it can be justly held, without
any o9erdrawn logic, to apply to recog-
milton of independence. In full line and
sympathy with the doctrine from Whea-
ton, is Henry Clay's report from the
senate committee on foreign relations in
1896, on recognizing the independence
of Texas. In this able paper Mr.. Clay
,enunciated this sound political doctrine:
with respect to new powers, the recog-
milton of their government comprehends.
first, an acknowledgement of their abil-
ity to exist as independent states and,
secondly, the capacity of their particular
governments to perform the duties and
fulfill the obligations toward foreign
powers incident to their new condition.
Hence, more caution and elaboration
are necessary in considering the question
of the acknowledgement of a new power
than in that of the new government of
an old power"
Now, to what extent do the functions.
powers and capabilities of the so-called
Filipino government comply with the
requirements of the sound doctrine so
well set forth by eminent authorities
like Clay. Wheaton and others? Is this
so-called government able to properly
administer affairs at home. and guaran-
tee a stable form of government, to say
nothing of fulfilling obligations to out
side powers? Has this organized mob
called the Filipino government the in
herent stability, the elements of political
life, the intelligence, the moral stamina
necessary to insure a just and equable
administration, a permanency of gov
eminent calculated to inspire respect,
and Il recognition of a natural right to
independence? If the senatorial expo
nents of windy oratory who are fighting
the administration in this Philippine
matter, would give some intelligent at
tention to the nature and composition
of the shallow, empty-headed character
of the alleged provisional native gov
eminent, and the ignorance of the
population of those islands, they would
be ashamed of themselves for their
senseleSs attitude, and understand how
it is that sometimes a man may be the
victim of his own misplaced confidence.
Were the Filipinos a noble, intelligent,
self-respecting people, of lofty ideals
and genuine, natural worth, struggling
for the civil and religious liberty that
their natures had fitted them for; then,
it might be the proper thing for SEN
ators to pose in behalf o. a righteous
but down trodden race, aspiring to be.
come free and independent. But when
one reads those grandiloqnent oratorical
displays taking time that should be
given to home legislation of which the
country is in pressing need, and then
considers the worthlessness Of the OBJ
iect of all this forensic effort, the ludi-
crousness of the situation is almost over
towering.

The London police have pass a very
t1attering compliment upon Americans.
They say that the thieves who stole
$500, 900 from a bank in that city in
broad daylight are citizens of the United
States. Well, the people have always
claimed that a Yankee could outwit any
other people on earth, and now that
claim has been substantiated by what is
considered the finest police and detective
force in the world. Score another tally

The pace that kills has again been ex-
emplifed in the death at Nice of Alonzo
G. Yates, of Syracuse, N. Y, at the i'm
mature age of 26. He was left a fortune
by his father, but lived only to squander
it; he had to leave both Harvard and
Hobart colleges because of sporty in
clinations, and when he died was prac-
tically a pauper. The fact that there
is a law which says: "As a man sows
that shall he also reap" does not seem
to be born in mind by young men as
much as it might.

Millard P. Mccormick, Miller, Attempts
Suicide This Morning.
Formally Served Deputy United

VIII Recover.

Willard p. Mccormick. forty-four years
old, employed as a miller at Cats flour
mill attempted suicide about o'clock this
morning by shooting himself in the mouth.
The bullet lodged somewhere in the unfor-
tunate mans neck. The surgeons who at
tended him believe he will recover He is
under treatment at the Casualty Hospital,
hitherto known as the Eastern Dispensary
near the Capitol.
Mrs. Mccormick was in the kitchen pre-
pairing breakfast for the family when her
husband entered and said Good bye" His
wife thought he was only skylarking with
the weapon. and paid no attention to what
he said. She was startled presently by the
report of the pistol, and then for the first
time realized that her husband was In ear
nest. The children. who We're in another
part of the house ran to the kitchen to see
what was the matter. They discovered no
evidences of what had taken place except
that their father had the smoking weapon
in his hand The shock had not robbed him
OF his senses, and he walked about the
house as if nothing had happened.
Expresses Regret.
II am sorry l did it, was what he said
when the police called. He was taken to
the hospital in the patrol wagon. and DR..
Reeves. the resident physician made him
as comfortable as possible until Surgeon
Elliott arrived. The surgeon made an eX-
animation of the wound and found that the
bullet had cut the mans tongue and passed
through to the back of the head. 1t was
impossible to determine the exact position
of the leaden missile. but the surgeon laid
he thought it would give the patient no
trouble. Mccormick told the doctor he had
no fear of dying from such bullet. IS he
had swallowed as many as ten of them.
The Cause Alleged.
McCorn1icks home is al No. All list street
northwest. He has a wife and four chill

it is alleged was too much liquor and fear
Of losing his position. He had been drink
ing for several days, it is stated, and he
feared that when he returned to work he
would he notified that his services would no
longer be required. There was only one
bullet in the weapon.
Mccormick served as d deputy United

After losing this position he drove an ice
