One Way 10 Use Convicts.

There is one article of general use
throughout the southwest that might
easily be made at the Santa Fe peni-
tertiary without the investment of anv
great amount of capital, and in the
manufacture of which convict labor
would not be competing with free labor
| ers in New Mexico. Large quantities of
Chinese labor and shipped to his Sec
ton and into Mexico. If the peniten-
tiary inmates We're all kept busy MAX
ing this one article they probably could
/ west. San Francisco Cinnamon are no
longer considered as cheap laborers, in
comparison with prices once paid to
them, and doubtless prison labor would
be cheaper, so hat overalls made here
| might be sold in Arizona, Colorado, New
Mexico, Texas and Mexico, in competi-
| ton with California-made goods. That
the manufacture Of overalls is a profit
| able speciality is well known. One CAL
ifornia maker has become a millionaire
from this one article of trade, and his
name a household word through adver-
tisement of his goods. Sewing machines
and a supply of the material used in
making overalls is all that the territory
need purchase for this business. Stand
ard goods offered the trade at prices less
than the California makers can sell for
and make a profit would certainly find
a market.
If the territory could not go into this
business the plan of Hon. o. H. Bursum.
the warden appointed, to lease laborers
to a manufacturer, might work well if
an individual could be found to under
take this enterprise and establish a fac
tory within the prison grounds.
California is utilizing convicts in
manufacturing jute grain bags, and
with profit. The plant of machinery
cost a great amount of money, and as
nobody was engaged in that line Of
business in California, manufacturers
aroused no opposition, although import
ers attempted to prevent the state I'M
dertaking the industry by talk of I'M
derselling and of the impossibility Of
making bags as cheaply with prison la
Dor as they are made by coolies in India,
where the jute is grown that Is used in
California. However, the state is now
making the bags in which California
grain is shipped all over the world al
most, and the revenue from the sale of
the bags helps greatly to relieve the
people of the burden of maintaining the
prison.
If overalls and other articles not like
ly to be made in the territory to any
great extent can be made by prison la
Dor and sold probably there is no good
reason why it should not be done.

trust. Have a care, gentlemen. The
people are On the alert.'-Las Vegas
Optic,
The above, with II exception, is abb
solutely and unqualifiedly untrue, or, in
ommon English, a lie, and known to
the optic to be a lie.
Mr.. O.. l.. Rice is no longer an employe
of the New Mexican. He went to Ala
mogordo on his own account to look
over the field to start a paper. Wheth-
er he will do so, is very problematical.
The New Mexican had nothing to do
with his business. No material what
ever from the New Mexican has been
sold him or is on the way to Alamogor-
do. Should he start a paper, it may be,
for cash, that the New Mexican Print
ing Company may sell him some. But
that is also very problematical, and a
matter of the future.
There is not now and there never has
been any understanding between Gov
ernor Otero, Max. Frost, certain repre-
s~entatives of the Ell Paso & Northeast
ern road, a certain Pennsylvania tim
Der company and others as to the start
ing of a paper in Alamogordo, nor on
anything else, either before, during or
since the session of the Legislature.
AS to the OPTICS warning, Have a
care, gentlemen, the people are on the
alert this is the merest balderdash
and rot. The people care nothing about
the vaporings of the paper. They are
too busy, and have no time to pay any
attention to the rubbish published by
our more or less esteemed contempo-
| rary. But the course of the New Next
| can worries his contemporary exceed
| ingly, and this is, of course, in the ma
| ture of things, and can not be aided. 1t
worries many other good-for-nothins
people also. +.
The article in question is simply taken
up to brand it as a lie. Some unln-
| formed people might see it, and, per-
l chance, believe that the Optic therein is
] telling the truth. Hence, the notice
| only this and nothing more.
The rule in journalism by which the
| Optic is guided is the following: Mas
tiers, remember hat / am an ass
though it be not written down, yet for
get not, that | am an ass"

A Year Of National Achievements.

The formal ratification of peace be-
tween his country and Spain confirms
the new classification that the Ameri-
can victory had given the two parties
to the contest. Less than one year ago,
or, to be exact, it will be one year next
Friday since the United States formal
ly declared war. In that year Spain has
been sunk to the level of a fourth-class
nation in the conflict waged with un-
~precedented success by a country which
foreign nations considered great only in
the arts of peace; also within the year
the long-drawn diplomatic negotiations
attending the obsequies Of Spain's de-
parted pride have ended, and the United
States. by common consent of the whole
world, now stands abreast of the great
est powers as a government of strength
that must be reckoned with in all of the
worlds affairs affecting the interests OF
this country, and in all that relates to
the cause of humanity in general. Not
only has the country demonstrated its
virility before the world, but her own
people have also awakened to their own
strength, and can show justification for
that national pride of their country that
is inherent in the true American citi-
zen The moral effect has been good be-
cause the wal was begun in the interest
Of humanity; right has triumphed, with
the approval of all civilized races, and
America has shown that even in war
humanity a be practiced by a con-
quering army and a triumphant govern
ment. In a common cause of patriotic
motives the American people have
buried prejudices and sectionalism that
existed before the civil war, and that
have been so tenacious Of existence
since the fraternal strife. The country
has never been SO Joined together as 1t
has become since April 81. 1898. The

ing, however. A trust that is fighting
laws in all states which have attempted
to check it's rapacious methods of de-

to obey a law enacted by a territory.
But if the present statute be defective
there is a hereafter. There must be nc

lend aid by vigorous legislation
against this and other trusts that pur-
sue Objectionable methods. Out Of a

effective. A combined attack to pre-
vent further encroachments and to
overthrow the ~monopolies will serve to
check if not destroy them. Certainly nc
relief will come by submission.

Gerl,lan Press Bitter

Berlin, April 11.~-The Lokal Anzeiger to- day prints an interview With Dr. Raffel in wlieh he is quoted as saying:
 '"rhe decision of Chief Justice Chambers in favor of Tanu was partly due to the fact that Mataafa is Catholic. while Tanu is a proselyte of the English missionaries.
 "Mataafa is the only king the Samoans will tolerate There has been a sudden veering of view on the part of both the minister of foreign affairs, Baron Won Buelow, and the emperor
 More energetic still is the semi-off1eial announcement of the Hamburg correspon- dent which declares that if England and America do not heed the diplomatic remon- strances made in London and Washington these remonstrances will be fortified, ad- ding Germany insists in receiving full information for the number of breaches committed in Samoa"
 The tone of the German press during the last two days has been most bitter
 Inquiries made by the correspondent of the Associated Press at the foreign office have elicited the statement that nothing is known of alleged British annexation of the Tonga islands, and it is not believed such action has been taken, as, it is claimed, it would be a gross violation of the Anglo German agreement of 1886.

ARMY TO BE PLACED
 ON PEACE BASIS
Order Will Probably Be issued
 Today.
VOLUNTEER OFFICERS TO 60
General Wheeler Included Among Those Who Will Be Mustered Out-Otis and Shafter to be Made
 Major-Generals

Washington, April 1l.-An order has been prepared at the war department for re- organization of the army on peace basis and t probably will be Issued tomorrow.
 Most of the general officers of the vol- untcer establishment will be mustered out and radical changes made in the staff de- partments of the same, including the dis charge of about sixty paymasters.
 With the exceptions of Generals Ot.s Shafter. Lawton and Macarthur all The volunteer major generals will be dis charged, including Generals Wade Wilson Lee, Wheeler, Bates, Young, Chafree, An- derson, Sumner Ludlow, Henry and Wood
 Of the above list all but Generals Lee, Wheeler and Wilson hold commissions of lower grade in the regular army and oonsesHently will not necessarily lave to TO- linquish their personal commands.
 Under its reorganization the army is en- titled to two additional malor generals, and Generals Otis and Shafter have been chosen for these appointments.
 Law officers of the government are dis cusslng m the light of the president s proclamation announcing the conclusion of peace, the question of mastering out of the volunteer arIns. 1t Is agreed that the law will be construed that the muster out Of the troops shaii be upon orders of the exec utiVe and that necessarily there must be a delay of month or so in the discharge or the volunteers. Meantime they will sive their pay and allowances.
 In accordance with precedent established at the close of the civil war few of the volunteer organizations may be retained in thc service fer some time, although those who desire to return home will be permit ted to do SD.
 Those individual volunteers who enlist in the Philippines will receive not only the two months extra pay provided for on their discharge from the army, but also travel pay from this country to the Philip pines and return amounting to about $500
 The war officials have decided that it would be more desirable to take trained soldier in the Philippines than to send that soldier home and return raw recruit.
 If applications for discharges are any criterion it was evident that the volunteers in the Philippines are not anxious to return and will take advantage of the law to de- hand their muster out.
