American Railway Service Leads.

Every now and then somebody, for the
mere love of grumbling finds fault with
the railways for this and the other thing,
yet it is beyond question that American
railroads today furnish the best service
In the world, at the lowest rates of fare,
at the same time paying their employees
very much higher wages than are paid
for similar service in any other country
on the globe. In the United States the
first-class passenger fares last year av-
eraged 2.14 cents per mile, although en-
some large railways the average was
several mills less than 2 cents per mile;
in England the first-class fare is 4 cents
per mile; third-class fare for vastly in
ferior service is 2 cents per mile, but
only on certain parliamentary trains.
In Prussia the fare is 100 cents per
mile; in Austria, sos cents per mile, and
In France, 3.36 cents per mile. Ameri-
can passenger cars excel those of for
eign countries In all that goes to make
up the comfort and convenience of q
journey. The sleeping and parlor car

The battle of the ballots in Kentucky

cripples. In all of General Lawton's
battles and skirmishes with Aguinaldo's
troops since October 10, the number of
Americans killed has been less than
that. The end of the strife in Kentucky

governor interferes in behalf of Taylor,
we will not leave a white Republican
alive in Kentucky; go home and prepare
yourself to assist in the Inauguration of
Bill GOebel." Mr.. Goebel stood on the
platform with the speaker and smiled
his approval.

The worlds entire stock of money, gold,
silver and paper, would not today pur-
chase one-third of all the railways. Yet
only 100 years ago a governor of New
York advised his friends not to invest
money or waste their time in aiding the
building of railroads, expressing The
opinion, that while it was possible that
improved methods of construction and
perfected machinery might in the re-
mote future, enable the people to move
a car upon a railroad at the rate of s or
6 miles per hour, he did not believe that
they could ever be made of material ad-
vantage. and that any attempt to trans
port passengers and freight by railroad,
from one part of the country to another
mnst result in endless confusion and
loss, The governor died in the belief
that the canal was the only means of
conveyance for a great commerce.

AS long as the United States retains
the island of Tutuila, with its fine har-
Dor at Pango-Pango, in the Samoan
group, it can complacently give it's as
sent to Germany acquiring the rest of
the nine inhabited islands of the Sa-
moan group. Germany already controls
the trade of the islands, for the exports
from the Samoan islands last year
amounted to 1927, 900 to Germany, and
only $4,000 to the United States, while
the imports were SlsT, 900 from Germany
and $55, 900 from the United states. The
islands have about so, 900 inhabitants of
which $500 live in Tutuila. The ceding
of the bulk of the Samoan islands will
settle a controversy that has been fruitful
OF misunderstanding and irritation and
will gain for Great Britain and incident
ally for the United States the friendship
of Germany.

NORTHERN NEW MEXICO MINES.
(Elizabethtown Miner,)
More than usual interest has been
manifested in this section of northern
New Mexico lately. The number of
actual large sales, that have been made
have awakened our own people as well
as outside to the fact of the riches of
the camp. A strong but quiet sentiment
is going out over the country in regard
to northern New Mexico. 1t would be
well for the impecunious prospector or
mine owner, of this mining district as
well as in others, to take notice of this
one fact, that the time to sell a prospect
or a mine is when somebody wants to
buy. The time is now at hand, and
buyers are hunting mining propositions.
The owner, having no capital with which
to properly equip his property, had bet
ter sell out to some one, who has. The
first cost of a mine is a mere trife, to
the expenditures which necessarily fol-
low to put it Oh a paying basis. A shaft
house, blacksmith shop, engine and
boiler room must be built; hosting APP
paratus, pumps, machinery and many
other costly appliances must be provided,
and they all cost money; so much indeed
that a poor man could not think of OPEN
ing and operating the property. A COM
bination of capital seems to be the pre-
requisite to success in mining; and it
takes money to mine in this day and
generation,

Not So Slow After All.

1t is an ancient joke throughout the
territory to make an occasional fling a
the capital city of New Mexico for its
so-called slowness. Yet, judging by the
alacrity with which local business men
subscribed to the fund to secure a daily
stage line to Bland, the energy with
which the Woman's Board of Trade is
working for the welfare of the city, the
excellent condition of its schools, the
habit of getting there" in politics and
other spheres of duty which characterize
Santa Fe citizens, and many other indi-
cations of thrift and progressiveness,
there is no excuse whatever for sneer-
ing at the capital city which, despite
temporary setbacks, is holding it's own
and will eventually lead all other cities
in the southwest when 1t comes to pro-
gressiveness and solid growth.

TEACHING Spanish.

In every part of the United States the
Importance of teaching Spanish in the
public schools is being recognized and
haste is being made to introduce the
study of that language in the curriculum
of every public school, every college and
every university. Spanish has been a
public school study in New Mexico for
many years and was at one time deemed
rather a reflection upon than a credit
to New Mexico. Opinion is different
now and New Mexico schools can well
be proud of the fact that in this one
branch, the study of the Span
ish language, they are far ahead of the
public schools of any other part of the
United States.

Colorado capital is beginning to play
an important part in the development of
New Mexico mining resources. Yet it
is only a few years ago that Colorado
had not a dollar of it's own to invest in
its home mineral prospects and depended
entirely upon the capital of outsiders
to develop and work its mines. In those
few years Colorado mines have made
some twenty OF thirty ~millionaires and
several hundred more independent for
tunes. The situation in New Mexico is
in many respects similar to that in Colo
RADIO a few years ago and there is no
reason to doubt that in a few years New
Mexico will be where Colorado now is
and will boast of a score of millionaires
made by New Mexico mines.

Every hero has his day and ever 50
popular Il hero as Dewey fails to awaken
much enthusiasm after he had his
triumph. Last week he passed through
large crowds in New York City and no
one seemed to recognize him. Grover
Cleveland at Princeton, or Dreyfuss in
France, might as well as be dead as far
as public interest in their doings at
present is concerned. The American
people occasionally take off IA day to
worship heroes but more they can not
spare for that purpose. To keep in the
public's mind a man must constantly be
doing aud achieving great deeds.

CONFERENCE OF GOVERNORS.
One Called For December to Consider The
Arid Land Problems,

Governor Otero has received an invi-
tation from Governor Richards of Wyo-
ming, to meet with the governors of all
the arid and semi-arid states and terri
tories in Salt Lake, December IA next,
for the purpose of discussing the arid
land question and devising plans for the
disposition of the same. In his letter to
Governor Otero of New Mexico, Cover
nor Richards says:
The issue paramount among those
vital to the future development and
prosperity of the states and territories
of the arid and semi-arid region, is the
disposition of the public lands embraced
within their era.
1.-THE present status of the millions of
acres, comprising the public domain, is
far from satisfactory. Existing regula-
lations and laws, which, in the early
days OF the open range were sufficiently
comprehensive, and adapted to the con-
ditions of the time, having become an
tiquated and wholly inadequate and the
government lands are now a source of
anxiety to the various elements looking
to them for s~ustenance.

face lis must be met by remedies that
will solve the important question for
our greatest benefit. No question in
volving the interests of our section ap-
proaches the Importance of this one; and
in its solution, the efforts of our strong
est and best informed citizens should
combine in formulating a bill for the
disposition Of our public lands, to be
presented to congress, and OF such a
character as will appeal to the wisdom
and justice of that body.
"Only through organization can any,
thing of material value be accomplished
in this direction, and no general organ
lzation can occur unless we meet upon
a common ground, and present our de-
mands after a full and free discussion
and exchange of opinion.
Believing that this matter is of inn
mediate and earnest Importance and
that signal good can be accomplished by
a conference of the governors of all the
arid and semi-arid states and territories,
invite you to be present"

system is vastly superior to theirs, the
baggage system is infinitely better than
theirs and arranged upon a much more
liberal basis. American railroads carry
$50 pounds of baggage free, while the
German railroads carry only So pounds
free. The lighting of American trains
is superb, while the lighting of trains
on most foreign lines is wretched. And
the excellent service of the trunk lines
in the United States is not confined to
the populous districts, but extends
across the continent, and through the
deserts.

No man is a hero to his private Secre-
tary. A pretty accurate opinion Of the
character Of General Otis can therefore
be formed from the statement made at
Denver last week by Marshall w. Cald-
well, for two years stenographer to Gen
eral Otis. Caldwell says that General
Otis is a martyr to duty and and is not
pigheaded, being always open to an
argument. 1t is only by his temper
ate habits that he is able to maintain
his health under all his work in the
climate of the tropics.

Every effort put forth by the Demo-
cratic party during the campaign to be-
lie the administrations foreign policy
failed utterly. The COMMUNICATIONS
refused to be coddled with the cry of
anti-imperialism. The Irish-Americans
declined to be divertrd by the p~retense
of an Anglo-American alliance. The
disaffected Republicans %repudiated every
attempt to use their personal grievances
for the purpose Of discrediting the Unit
ed States government. Regardless of
nativity, faction and creed, they all went
to the polls and met the issue as it was
presented at the outset of the campaign
by the two party conventions.

WANTED-A NEW ISSUE.
Chicago Inter- Ocean,

National expansion was the issue of
the campaign just closed in Ohio. 1t
was drawn broadly and clearly between
the two great parties. 1t was Endorsed
vociferously by the Republicans. 1t was
denounced vociferously by the Demo-
Gratis. Under the circumstances, In an
off year, the Republican party carried
the state by a plurality larger than that
given to Mr.. Mckinley in 1896. This
wonderful record standing alone, with
out explanation, is an absolute and COM
plete vindication of the conduct of the
war, the conclusion Of peace and the
management OF this governments affairs
in Guam, Porto Rico, Cuba, and the
Philippines.

Pueblo had an experience with conta-
gious disease last winter that she is not
anxious to repeat. Thousands of dollars
We're expended by public authority in
stamping out smallpox and there was
besides an undoubted loss of business
for a time. The precautions then err
forced in the way. OF compulsory v%accina-
ton have rendered the city reasonably
immune from the dread disease so far as
the population now here that was then
in the city is concerned, but there has
been a large influx Of people since that
time.
The reports of cases in various sec
lions are bringing verification of the full
tlment of the prophecy then made in
these columns. 1t is therefore the part
of wisdom to insure the complete i'm.
munity of the city, so far as that is pos
sible. By rigid requirement at this time
when there is no smallpox here, that all
shall be vaccinated who have not been
successfully inoculated within a reason
able time, the city can be made absolute
ly without danger of anything like an
epidemic, no matter how numerous the
cases %hereabouts might become.
