Much has been said pro and con
about the recent lynching of a
man-shaped brute in the state OF
Georgia-but as is usual none of the
spQuters strike the right trail. While
it is fact that the great mass eff the
people are opposed to mob law, the
fact remains that mob law furnishes
to the desperate ones who want
justice the surest and quickest way
of getting it. When white men, call
ed lawyers, can be found who are so
degraded that for fee, they will de-
Tended ravishcr and murderer
and by ehicanery, jugglery and trick
cry cheat justice, as they SO often do,
and at enormous public expense;
mob law is the inevitable result
When such justice strangling LAWYERS
and judges are side-tracked, and the
people know that criminals will be
properly punished, then lynchings
will cease-but not until then.

ALTHouGH IT is yet several months
until congress will meet, the patriot
lie couspirators who are such lovers
OF the wage earners, are busy pre-

the bond managers and bankers who
are scheming to destroy all govern

THE Kansas City Star says that
over in the state of Kansas no man
is regarded as possessing any genu-
inc title to distinction or pledges OF
fame who has not held a public of
fee. He may swim rivers in the face
OF a savage foe; he may seek repu-
tation at the lannon's mouth; he
may rid the state of chinch bugs and
grass-hoppers, he may give all his
goods to the poor and his body to
be burned, but unless he has held of
fee everything elsepro6teth nothing

THE well-known republican Sena-
tor, Hoar, says there is mo con
stitutional power to conquer foreign
nations and hold their people in sub
lection against their will" But
Senator Hoar ought to know by this
time that his party in the hands OF
Hanna and his Cantonian freak care
naught for constitutional power,
justice or humanity-they are out
for the long green, army contracts
and such like things for their friends.

IT will indeed be miracle if there
is not another rebellion in Cuba and
Porto Rico before many months

those Inflated islands have too long
been struggling for the rights of all
mankind-freedom, to meekly sub

are now receiving from those in con-

THE new imperialistie construction
OF the Declaration of independence,
is that governments derive their

citizens who beg to differ from such

EVERY American nottingham who
now thinks he is benefited by high
protective tariff is badly mistaken
in his belief, and would change his
mind instanter where he to put party
prejudice aside and fairly investigate
the matter. He would find that the
high tariff produces no revenue to
the government-neither does it in
increase the wage of the American
laborer or mechanic. The only per-
sons it does benefit are the manufac-
turers and mill owners. 1t enables
them to charge more for their pro-
ducts-but the workmen do not
share in the spoils.

THEpowerfrll sineh that the whisky

fact that even congress is powerless

not be abolished. "Canteen" means

the blessed privilege of blowing in

to be a combination of diekery and
fighting, although the administra-

more, both in money and blood than

Arkansas Landscape.

The description of the Little Buffa-
10 valley, Newton county, this state,
which follows, is from the pen of Col.
DeMalher, author of the Arkansas
Zine Letters published in the TINES.
1t is an extract from a personal let
ter to the editor, dated at Jasper;
and, so to call it, is a free hand dra w
ing Of characteristic scenery in the
Arkansas mountains.
Though too much preoeeupied
with the subject of hssure vein zine
in the state, to make it part of my
stated article, the landscape found
here challenges notice. And as a di-
vertisement and study, we'll worth
the time given to it; nothing could
better satisfy tourists who have an
eye for such things, than the lovely
scenery of the Little Buffalo valley,
west of this place,
The county, from the plateau on
which rests its northern neighbor
Boone county, to where the Boston
range divides the water shed of the
Arkansas from that of Buffalo river,
is in no part without grand and
beautiful scenery. But in the case,
in point, it is landscape in which
thrift and nature combine, and the
effect upon the beholder is one it is
not easy to forget.
Nature is not only throned there
upon heights more lofty and majes-
tic than is common to the Arkansas
mountains, but across the valley
great carpets have LAID, of many
pattern quaint and olden, white and
gold or green and brown as the seas
on have it, over which shadows
move with noiseless tread to make
obeisance to the mountains. And
all the while the landscape charms
the eye, the fragrance of field bios
som and OF honeysuekle and min
strelsy of wood and stream adding
a charm for the senses of smell and
hearing.
Here and there, where the river
flows in and out, * is the flash. = fin
of mountain bass and trout, for,
though country fair to look upon
and rich in mineral, Newton county
is also an anglers paradise Now
and then, it is bosky dels, that shell
ter bird and modest wildwood flow
er. On the one hand, it is beetling
cliffs that drop down sheer several
hundred feet; and, on the other hand,
it is wooded and yerdure clad
heights, with soft and graceful lines
to the eye, the repose of which quiets
the mind as does draught of good
wine. Ever and anon it is long
reaches of deep blue waters beside
festooned palisades that shame those
of the Hudson. There are patches of
color on the mountain sides, bright
green, bottle green, brown and gray,
and, below these, patches of flashing
waters where shadows of the river
are noisiest. While above it all
arches sky as blue as that of the
Mediterranean
And, of a truth, taken altogether,
the vale of Naachoochee, the Wissa-
hickon, Greenbrier, Mohawk, Con
necticut, and Susquehanna are mot
in it" compared to the quiet and
restful beauty of the Little Buffalo
valley"

IT has been decided by the repub-
lican leaders that an extra session of
Congress shall be called, probably
early in the fall, but in order to give
themselves opportunity to change
their minds, should it be deemed adj
visable later to do So they will not
say more than that an extra session
is probable. The fact of the matter
is that they are getting uneasy over
the political outlook. A short time
ago they were figuring on walk
oyer for Mckinley next year, but
now they are frightened. One of
them said: Mr. Mckinley will, of
course, be a candidate for renomina-
ton, but it is by no means certain
that he will win. The scandals I'M
der his administration have made it
difficult for his friends to defend it..
Alger, Shafter, Eagan and others,
who have figured prominently in the
administration, have not added to
Mr. McKinley's reputation or inn
proved his chances for denomination.
Conservative observers believe that
Algerism and Eaganisn will prove
to be heavier load than Mr. Nc
Kinley can carry, and that even if he
should be nominated again, he would
be defeated"

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value Of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effeetually
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy nre obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial

In truth there are more evictions of

Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1899-03-16

Fowler, in particular, has for the past
year given attention to mining opera
tions in New Mexico, so that before he
put down his foot, he knew wherein he
was standing. He says a great trouble
in mining in the southwest has been in
vestors rushing in plants without ade-
quate knowledge of the properties on
which they We're working. Not a few
capitalists have secured a good color
from samples. and assuming that he
rest of the ground was just like the
sample, hurried in expensive mining
machinery, only to find a little later
that they counted their chickens before
they We're Matched. More care is being
exercised now, and the result is that
fewer investments are lost. Mr.. Fowler
said, in Connection with investments
from the east, that some very crude no.
tons existed in the minds of eastern
people about the west. He was lately
as far east as Philadelphia, and people
would ask him about ones personal
safety in New Mexico and the far
southwest. He was pleased to tell his
questioners hat life in the far west was
safer than in many localities in the far
east; and then people would spring the
grant question, and ask if the lane
grants did not make titles insecure. Mr..
Fowler also took pleasure in assuring
people hat the grant matter was being
satisfactorily settled by the United
States court of private land claims, and
there was no occasion for uneasiness
OF that score.
Mr.. Fowler spoke of Duluth as a most
remarkable city in many respects, and
not the least notable feature of the
place was it's shipping facilities. I'm
mense cargoes are loaded and unloaded
in an incredibly short space of time, all
by machinery. Then the city is built
on solid rock, so that all the sewers and
water mains have to be laid down deep
in the stone at great expense for exca-
walton.

General Lawton ann start in to
Chew up the enemy" any too soon, if he

winding up the Filipinos. 1t has been
announced through the press, with
some flourish, that Lawton, having been
an old Indian fighter, is now prepared
to settle forever and for aye, the case
of the Filipino rebels. But no sooner is
the veteran landed, than Brigadier Gen
eral Lloyd Wheaton takes the bits in his
teeth, and with flying column goes
through a series of successful evolu-
lions against the enemy that has set all
the papers to singing his praises, while
General Lawton is for the time forgot
ten. Wheaton is a brave a He rose
from a sergeancy in an Illinois regi-
ment in 1861, to a lieutenant ~colonelcy in
1864, and was made a captain in the reg
ular establishment in 1866. He was
awarded a medal of honor for distin-
guished gallantry at the assault on
Fort Blakely, Ala, in April, 1865, lead
ing the right wing of his regiment; and
%springing through an embrasure against
a strong artillery and musketry fire,
was the first to enter the enemy's
works. Wheaton was also breveted for
gallant conduct on other fields.
