about universal recognition of these

life, 50 that the opportunity for great
usefulness and the highest commands
lay before him. He had not merely
the quality Of courage. bur the quality
of command which inspired his troops

Sary to bridge the river. The funeral

Gen. Lawton's death has caused uni

natives. he commanded their respect
and confidence to a RENAL kable degree.
The mayors whom he installed in the
neighboring towns are arranging to at
tend the funeral in Il body.

Suffrage in Cuba.

If Cuba is made a republic with suf-
frage extended to all the people, the
black population will suffer. If they
are the majority, they may be swayed
by corrupt politicians who establish a
race issue and such an era of corruption
as was witnessed in southern states may
have its day in Cuba. But in the end
the most intelligent and educated class
will rule in political matters event if they
have to secure control by the violent
and illegal methods which southern PEG
pie adopted to accomplish that end.
That course will result in harm to the
black acc and no friend of theirs will
wish to see them placed under such cruel
pressure as were the negroes of this
country when they freely exercised the
franchise to vote in opposition to the
white people in the states having the
greatest colored population. Cuba will
have political troubles galore if she is
finally released by the United States. In
anticipation of these, many leading Gu
bans wish the military government of
the islands succeeded by a territorial
form of government controlled by the
United States. w

Fitting Indians for Citizenship.

In an article in the Atlantic for Au-
gust, Henry L. Dawes, Of the Dawes In
dian commission, makes a strong plea
for the present government policy of fit
ting the Indian for civilization and alb
sorbing him into it.. Up to 1877, writes
Mr.. Dawes, the government simply pro-
tected and treated submissive Indians
kindly. Under this plan they increased
In numbers, and did not cease to be
troublesome. The reservations were de-
creasing and what to do with the In
dams was a perplexing question.
In 1877 an appropriation for inaugu-
ration of the present policy was made,
but it was only 800, 900. Last year the
appropriations were s {, 1888, 800, and in all
they have amounted to $29, 1852, 344, the
ben%eficiaries numbering a quarter of a
million.
There are 14S boarding schools and 295
day schools, educating 24,OO4 children,
with the remarkable average daily at
tendance of 1851.
Only twelve years ago the government
recognized the family and home as a
factor in Indian civilization, and decid-
ed to allow individuals of the tribes to
take allotments of land. Already So, 467
hold such allotments, the acreage being

Croker on a Citizens Duties.

The most successful politician in this
country, within his sphere, is Boss
Croker. In Il recent talk on politics he
said:
zone Of the most childish ard foolish
ideas advanced by the 'reformers' is that
organization is not necessary to achieve
substantial results. A business house is
Il machine, q church is a machine, a
bank is a machine, a newspaper is a
machine. The mere perfect the machine
the more good it can accomplish for the
community. Disappointed men use the
word machine to stigmatize the regular
political organizations of both parties
and to create prejudice against poll
ticians.
II believe it is the duty OF every man
in this country to become a politician.
1t is his highest privilege and it is his
most serious duty. Every good Amer
lean should be sufficiently interested in
the affairs of the community in which he
lives to give a little thought and time to
his duties as a citizen.
''There are something like 10000 men
in New York City who ~disfranchise
themselves every year by neglecting to
vote. These are the men who are loud
est in the cutlery against machine poll
tics. A man who has the right to vote
and who willfully shirks his responsible
ity as an elector ought to be treated as
an alien"

Bryan's Bad Break.

Candidate Bryan has come down from
his eminence in going into the political
campaign in Kentucky. The fight there
is purely a factional one Both sides
say they are for Bryan for president,
although the leading Goebel men like
Henry Watterson, bolted in 1896. Per-
haps the Goebel element gave the Ne
braskan to understand that they would
again bolt unless his voice were heard
in Kentucky in this campaign. 1t may
even be that Colonel Watterson has
agreed to stay by Colonel Bryan in re-
turn for this aid. 1t was Watterson
with his paper who lost Kentucky to
Bryan in 1896. The presidential candi-
date is looking out for his W interests
in going into a local, factional fight, but
the country at large thinks this action
unworthy of n who aspires to the high
| office. In 1896 the nomination seemed
to seek the man This year the mar
is the hunter hot on the trail. His
eagerness accounts for this dash into the
| Kentucky mire.

MINING DISTRICTS.
Excellent Facilities for Reaching New Mex
leo Camps.

lCO OdHlpS'
The facilities afforded for reaching
the mining camps of New Mexico are
excellent. Coming from the east or
from Colorado, on the Santa Fe road,
the first station of Importance is Ra-
ton, where the Maxwell grant people
have their offices. They have all infor-
nation concerning the mineral lands on
their grant in ColfaX county. At
Springer a stage line connects for CHM
arron and Elizabethtown. Las Vegas
sends mail stages to all points in Mora
county. AT Lamy Junction a branch
run into Santa Fe, where the Denver
& Rio Grande is taken to the Taos, Rio
Arriba and San Juan county camps.
Cerrillos is closely connected with San
Pedro, Golden, Dolores and the tur-
quoise mines. The Thornton and Bland
stage makes daily runs to the famous
Cochiti camps. Albuquerque gives out
let over the Santa Fe Pacific to the
western section and northern Arizona;
also is within short driving distance of
He'll Canon, Cedar Canon and Las Pla-
citas. The Socorro county camps are
all reached from S%ocorro, and the San
Antonio stage carries mail and passen-
gers to White Oaks and Lincoln county.
Engle is the stopping off place for the
districts of Sierra county. The Silver
City branch, with it's various spurs,
reaches the Grant county camps, also
Lake Valley and Santa Rita. Las Cru
ces is the most convenient railroad point
for the Organs and Dona Ana camps

THE PHILIPPINE SITUATION.
(St. Louis Globe emocrat.)

Nots AOhIS
In every particular the conditions will
be better for the Americans than they
were when Aguinaldo made his first as
sault on Otis in the early days of Feb
ruary of this year. The American com-
manders and their men have had expe-
rience in fighting in the islands. They
will expect the fighting to take place,
whether it does or not. There will be
at least twice as many men to do the
fighting as were on hand in the recent
campaign. They have a good knowl-
edge Of the country around Manila,
which they did not possess when the re-
bellion began last winter. The copper
heads in this country have been pretty
thoroughly cowed by recent events, and
their pernicious activity will be dimin-
ished henceforth. When the Maryland
