Wealth Does Not Always Win.

There is a popular misunderstanding
as to the wealth OF United States sena-
tors and the general opinion prevails
that nowadays no man is elected to the
position unless he is ii millionaire,
Many senators are worth much less
than they are supposed to be, and not a
few of them would have to forego the
honor if there were no salary attached
to the position. as in the case in the
English house of lords, There is not a
millionaire senator from the south. The
California senator who has just retired
is not q rich man. The millionaire who
sought to succeed him failed to secure
the prize. A New Jersey millionaire
who has twice made the effort has again
been turned down. Only four of the II
New England senators are millionaires.
Maryland and Indiana have recently
elected men who are not rich and the
latter state has never chosen a million
aire. Pennsylvania has just declined to
| ~re-elect d millionaire. The most notable
recent choice of millionaire was in
Montana, where Senator Clark, a Dem
ocrat, bought a seat in a sharp contest
with another Democratic millionaire.
Some rich men have gone to the senate
without brains, but most millionaires
have made their own fortunes by shrewd-
ness and good Judgment. and while
many are not orators they are good bust
ness men, whose training has qualified
them for compromising large Interests
such as the administration of the ma
tional government involves. Some rich
men have been notably patriotic and OF
inestimable strength to the government
in times of need. Washington, for in.
saance, was one Of the richest men Of
his day, but no one claims that his
wealth disqualified him for official posi-
| ton and leadership.

Where America Sells Goods.

There is one sort of expansion that mt
one on this side of the ocean objects tt
and that is the unprecedented growth
of foreign exports.
In ten years. from 1888 to 1898, the
exports were 81, 300, 900 greater in
value than the imports, and that
amount of money, OF its equivalent in
American securities. has been sen over
to pay the balance in favor of America.
While the bare statement of the aggre-
gate is interesting the wide distribution
of the trade is surprising to all who
have not kept track of the growth Of
foreign traffic.
The figures are taken from Il re,
port of the treasury bureau of statistics.
They show that in ten years American
sales in Africa rose from $3, 900, 900 to
SIT, 600, 900, in Japan from $4, 600, 900 to
SCI 900, 900, in Belgium from $40, DOC. 00C
to $41, 000, 900. in Denmark from S3, 900,
600 to ST., 200. 600. in Holland from
SIG, 900, 900 to 500, 900, 900, in France
from $40 900, 900 to 500, 900, 900. in Ger
many from $55, OoO, 900 to $50. 600, 900,
in the United Kingdom from $780,, 0o0,-
900 to $40, 600, 900.

Joys Of California Journalists,

The newspapers of California roasted
members of the last Legislature so vigor-
ously that a law was passed requiring
the name of the author to be attached
to every libellous article or one calcul-
ated to cast odium upon any living or
dead person, and providing a penalty
payable to the party concerned. Under
the law a newspaper would be badgered
by every disreputable criminal mem
toned who could secure a shyster
lawyer to help him in al effort to black
mail a publisher or to secure judgment.
A second law to go into effect this week
forbids the publishing of cartoons, but
1t also will be ignored. Test cases will
o be brought up. AT one time the
editors OF San Francisco daiiies agreed

Over at Samoa. when the foolish Ger

followers believe that the American ad-
miral had no authority and dare not fire
a gun, the natives opened the ball by at

such as had never before been witnessed
The American and British tars and

responded with Star Spangled Banner
and a rapid-fire gun loaned to the Brit
ish by the American commander was

international sentiment shown upon this
occasion that Germany chose not to
make a roar and asked for a calm con
sideration OF all Samoan matters.

Taos people complain on account OF
the freight rates on merchandise sent to
the town. Other towns and cities in the
territory are feeling the same burden.
The fault is not altogether with the
railways, but partly with the people
of New Mexico. Considering the i'm
mense distance that most of the freight
has to be hauled into New Mexico
and the compare lively small amount
handled by the railroads, it is a wonder
that the rates are not higher. To avoid
high freight rates New Mexico should
manufacture its own goods and supply
its own needs instead of sending long
distances for things that could easily be
manufactured and produced at home
A wise method to save freight rates
would be for every resident to do his
| best towards settling up this territory
| by advertising It's advantages and in
| ducing others to locate here. The more
freight that is shipped to this territory
in bulk the lower the average freight
| rate will be.

Residents of Santa Fe should take
pride in their home and eliminate the
signs of decay which are evident around
a large number of properties. Well
kept gardens. orchards and lawns, neat
fences, freshly painted doors and shut
tiers will double the value of a property
in the eyes of a prospective purchaser
and will turn an ugly residence into a
beautiful one. The average visitor to
Santa Fe is unfavorably impressed with
the many signs of filth and want of care
that he sees around many residences in
the city. The expenditure of a few
dollars and a little work and care by
each householder would greatly I'M
prove the appearance of the city and
make it a beautiful place.

Strikes are generally a sign of pros
perity. When a man is glad to get a
job at any price and when there are
hundreds and thousands of men out of
work no sane workmen will go out on a
strike. 1t is only when every business
is crowded with orders, when every man
is employed that there is a chance of
success for a strike. In the columns of
the daily papers nov side by side are
seen accounts OF strikes and news of
manufacturers and business men raising
the wages of employees.

LAWTON TALKED TOO MUCH.
Washington Times

General Lawton is a fighter and an
ambitious soldier. Presuming on the
favor his %gallantry in Cuba inspired, he
is not disposed to submit gracefully to a
decision against his advice by his SUI
perior officer. He was sent ont with a
flying column to make things uncom-
Portable for the rebels in the south, who
had become annoying. When he was
enjoying himself, driving the Filipinos
before him, he received a call to return.
1t was then that he expressed the opin-
ion that it would take 1000 0 men to
hold all the towns. As nothing had
been said about a garrison in every town
the observation was irrelevant. The
echoes of that stupid, irrelevant, and
mischievous statement are heard around
the world. 1t is a severe commentary
Oh the kind of discipline in the army in
the case of division commanders. 1t is
an offense that would incur a serious
penalty in a European army.

The dreamy editor over at Las Vegas
has seen another ghost. The New
Mexican news columns announced the
other day. that the Las Cruces gentle
men who publish the Dona Ana County
Republican had Incorporated their en-
terprise. The Las Vegas unreliable
thereupon announced that another al
legged Otero scheme had been perpe-
trated and Editor Papen had been
''fred" by the incorporation. The fact
is Editor Papen has never had any con-
nection with the paper which the in
corporators have been publishing for
sometime and he is still publishing the
journal which he has conducted for
some years.

beauty to the shade trees upon the
streets. While Santa Fe has plenty of
orchards it can boast of but few trees to
shade its hot streets in summer Shade
trees that make the plaza the most pop
ular. beautiful spot in Santa Fe and
trees along the principal thoruoghfares
would make Santa Fe a far more agree

NO ROOM FOR COMPROMISE.
Gel PaSO TimeS,)

The laws now being enacted in the
many states against the trusts are
caused mostly by the fact that there are
no federal laws under which they can
be suppressed. The appalling increase
Of these vicious combinations during
the past year has awakened the people
of every state with but a few exceptions
and the result is that they are being
vigorously prosecuted in many Of the
commemorative. The fact that the
measure about to be introduced at Aus
tin has stirred up such vigorous oppose
ton from insurance agents and others
should cause every citizen to come for
ward and express himself at the meet
ing. The trusts must be suppressed and
the best way to do it is to absolutely
suppress them. There is no room for
compromise or fiddling. If the measure
proposed will kill the trusts as far as
their operation and robbery of the peo-
pie in this state is concerned, it should
be adopted.

There is little reason to expect this
government to set up a system of laws
for the Philippines constructed for an
ideal people. On the contrary, we are
entering on an experiment in which ex-
listing customs will be changed only
when their continuation would be more
mischievous than their abolition. We
shall learn by early mistakes that we
cannot mold the people there like clay,
but must allow their own growth in the
ideas of civilization to dictate charges.
We do not believe there is a more gem
erous and tolerant people On earth than
our own. We have only to consider
the history of our immigrants from
every quarter and Of all degrees Of in.
telIigence or ignorance to understand
the absence of bigotry and compulsion
In our treatment of their customs. Not
even under strictly military rule. as in
Cuba, has arbitrary authority been used
in a way to excite complaint Of over
severity.

Americas Copper Production.

Statistics have just been published
which show the increase of consumption
of copper in the principal countries
which use it in manufacturing purposes.
These establish the fact that last veal
the United States consumed on%e-fourth
of the entire ,utput of the world, hav-
ing outstripped the older nations in in
dustries that call for the use of this
metal.
The worlds total copper production
amounted to 396, 79S tons in 1897, and is
estimated at 42O, 900 tons for 1899. BY
far the greater part of this increase in
production is to be looked for in the
United States. whose production was
21G,o 900 tons in 1897, and 234.273 tons in
1898.
From official reports of several promi-
nent companies it appears that the re-
cent cost price of pure copper at the
Anaconda, Montana, was $1T3 per ton,
or less than 81 cents per pound; the
cost at the Boston e. Montana plant
was reported as practically the same;
also the cost at the Calumet & Hecla.
At Santa Rita. in Grant county. New
Mexico, which is apparently destined to
equal the great Calumet & Hecla in the
value of output. copper will pay to
mine and ship If a price of 10 cents per
pound can be maintained. With in
creased facilities and a great smelter To-
Gated at the camp, as now planned
by the Rockefeller syndicate, which is
considering the purchase of the Santa
Rita properties, the cost of producing
copper would be lower than at any other
point in the United States.

The defenders OF the trusts may argue
till they are exhausted, and the fact re
mains that it is not safe to place in the
hands of a few men the power to lower
wages and increase the price of neces'

gain to do it. Human nature is too frail
to be tempted as the managers OF a
trust must be.
