Rock Island tailors, members of
Union No 1874, are on n strike for
higher wages. They walked out ut 9
O'Clock this morning because their
employers refused to comply with

is proposed, shall remain in force for
one year.
Twenty-Five tradesmen have Joined
in the strike. The union scale was
presented to the employers Saturday.
They were given until Monday to an
swer. Their reply was that they
could not accede. So the tailors
walked out this morning.

The Pe0Dle BUSY,

The scarcity of railway laborers in
New Mexico and Colorado is equaled by
the shortage in California, where the
Southern Pacific needs ZOO on its coast
extension and cannot secure them.
There should be a shortage of tramps
this year as they all have an opportnni-
ty to earn a great many honest dollars
now. Perhaps never before have rail
ways had trouble in securing plenty of
help. While the work is arduous there
have always been plenty of men who
would labor for less than is paid this
year. The presumption is that the most
of the people are now busy at work that
involves less hardship and is nearer their
h%abitations, and the" will not accept
employment which involves absence
from their homes. If a man tramps
this year it is because he is trying to get
away from work.

Suicide and the Causes.

A Newark man has gone to the trouble
of counting the number of suicides men
toned in the New York Sun during the
first six months of 1899. 10 these he
added the number of suicides given by
the vital statistics of the leading cities
OF the United States which showed that
out of 49, 0O, 900 inhabitants 1,135 com
mitted suicide and if the same proportion
prevailed among the other IS, OOO, 900
people of the United States at least
$500 ended their lives by violent means
during the first six months of 1899.
The causes for suicide were: Inability
to secure work, IL per cent; love
episodes, 10 per cent; domestic
Affections, Is per cent; ill health,
10 per cent; business troubles, 8 per
cent; crime, Z per cent; alcoholism, Is per
cent, and the remainder undetermined.
Shooting was the favorite method Of
people who launched themselves into
the other world, poison zane next, car
bolic acid being the favorite. Drowning
was third in the list and hanging came
fourth. one woman killed herself by
eating spiders while a convict soaked
200 matches in water to secure the
means to %eXtinguish the spark of life.
More men than m committed sui
eide.
The New York Sun also showed one
fifth of the attempts at suicide were I'M
successful. But many such are never
reported and it may be safely said that
in one year at least 3O,O 0 people in the
United States make attempts upon their
own life and that Is, 900 of them succeed.
If yellow fever, cholera or even small
pox were to remove so many people it
would be regarded as a national cal
amity.
Some OF the reasons given for suicide
are very trivial. One mar hanged him.
self in the stairway because his wife
was too busy to read the Bible to him
on a particular occasion. A farmer
cremated himself to spite his wife. A
woman burned herself to death because
she was %displeased with q hen house
built by her brother. Another woman
took gas because her husba1 nd very
properly objected to her riding a bicycle
at night unattended.

Change in Military Punishment.

Even m~ilitaryism is adopting civilized
ways these days. Instead Of shooting
or hanging a deserter or tieing by the
thumbs, he is now d~ishonorably dis
charged, sentenced to a year at hard
labor and deprived of all back pay and
allowances. Such was the fate recent
ly of Henry II. Johnson, who deserted
from battery l., fourth artillery. As
o as militaryism is rid of its
autocratic form of government, its
cruelties, snobbery and tyranny so soon
it will be regarded less Of a bugaboo by
the American people who believe in a
representative form of government and
abhor the absolute one-man power in
vogue in armies.

Great Dredging Work.

One of the greatest undertakings in har-
Dor work will soon be commenced in New
York harbor, where the East Channel
is to be dredged until it is 2 900 feet wide
and 40 feet deep for a length of six miles
from the Narrows to the sea. Two steel
dredging steamers to cost $3.50, 600 each
will be built for Andrew Onderdonk, the
contractor. The dredges are so con
structed as to hold the material sucked
up and when loaded will steam out to
sea to dump the mud and clay. In dredg.
ing the steamers will move at the rate
of three miles an hour. The under
taking will cost a large sum of money,
but nothing is too large for so important
q harbOr.

A SERIOUS
Washington Tlmes.)

1t is now acknowledged that the
Alaskan boundary dispute has reached
a serious phase, entirely owing to the
impracticability of the Canadian govern
ment. Our own authorities admit that
it may be necessary to send troops to
Pyramid harbor to protect our miners
and prospectOrs on the upper Lynn
canal from further aggressions. The
seriousness of that step lies.in the fact
that the Canadians already occupy
territory VIGOROUSLY American, and
that, if we cannot negotiate a temporary
modus vivendi with Great Britain,
national dignity and self-respect will
compel us to turn them out of it; in
which event probably there would be a
fight, and possibly that might bring us
un%pleasantly close to a state of war with
England.

Money to Come West.

Hundreds Of millions Of dollars will be
paid over to the farmers of the west
and northwest during the next few
months for wheat and corn, Of which
there are large crops. The demand as
sures good prices. And If any many
times a millionaire again attempts to
corner the grain Of this country, farm
ers of the prairie states will want to run
for congress on their money instead Of
on their tale of miseries. Kansas has
the greatest corn crop ever known,
while the wheat crop of all Of the states
of the plains is enormous. In the dull
years of C~levelandism and the gloomy
times when the eloquence of Bryan
made the farmers think eternal ruin
could only be avoided by trusting to him
to sweep aside the cause, crops sold for
poor prices. The wheels of industry in
this broad land had stopped because of
the imports of European made goods
and raw material under the free trade
laws of the Democratic party, with
threats of further adverse legislation by
the Bryanites. The people could not af-
ford to buy freely Of the output Of
farms and factory. But now, when ev-
erything in the industrial line is BOOM
ing, and everybody at work at living
wages OF profitable business, money
moves freely. Americans are not mis-
ers, and most Of the earnings Of the
people are spent for food, clothing and
comforts Of life. These may mostly
come through factory or mill, but the
material necessarily comes first from
the energy Of the farmer, the stock
grower and producers generally.

The Usage Indians now have $9,0OO,-

the tribe is rich. But the Indian com
missioner says that the money is running
them morally and physically. They re-
ceive interest upon the principal, which
is in the federal treasury, and are spend
ing it in indulgences that are not for
their good. II the government would
pay the principal to the owners 1t would
doubtless soon fall into the hands Of peo-
pie who would put 1t to better use than
do the Indians. And as the present
owners would have to 60 to work again
they would improve instead of retro
grading as at present. However, it is
their W money and II they pursue the

The TERRITORIAL PRESS.
A HINT TO A PAPER.
~(Alamogordo News.)

The Socorro Chieftain in one column
dilates on the disloyalty of the native
New Mexicans and in another publishes
a statement from some irresponsible
drummer that a New Mexico legislature
can be bought for a thousand dollars to
do the bidding of the trust agents. A
thousand dollars was not enough to
purchase a county for the Mogollons
and it is evident to the editor of the
Chieftain that many times that amount
would not have the desired effect.
When a newspaper man arrives at the
stage where the people of the state are
too mean for him to say a good word for.
and the officials are so corrupt that he
lends his columns to unjust criticism of
them, it is time for him to seek a new
locality, where he a adjust matters to
suit himself. A few such attacks are
about as good campaign matter as the
Democratic party wants. Yet no one
ever heard of the Chieftain asking for
patronage from the Democratic party

that prior to that congress will limit the
authority of the president so that he
cannot by an executive order establish

THE PHILIPPINES IN POLITICS.
Washington POst.)

(WdSnlnSt OH EOSt.J
1t is by no means certain that eXpan-
sion, or any question growing out of that
accomplished fact, can be made to cut a
very prominent figure in the presidential
campaign. The ratification of the treaty
with Spain transferred Puerto Rico,
Guam and the Philippines to the sover-
eighty of the United States. In other
words, that ratification validated the
expansion which war and diplomacy had
accomplished, so far as was possible
without the approval of the senate. Mr..
Bryan Vas an important factor in Sc
curing that approval. Some of his
enemies in his own party assert that lad
he opposed ratification instead of ad-
vocating it, the expansion program
would have failed. This may or may
not be true. We can not nam a senator
whose affirmative vote would, in our
opinion, have been changed to a mega
tive at the request or through the influ-
ence of Mr.. Bryan or any other man.
But he was q factor all the same, IN that
his influence helped in the creation of
that public sentiment to which a vote
for ratification was u response. Having
aided in the accomplishment of eXpan-
sion neither Mr.. Bryan nor his party is
in a position to oppose it.

The practical visitor to Socorro is at

industrial enterprise, the extreme fer
tility Of the soil, the adaptability of the
climate to the production Of all agri-
cultural and horticultural crops, the I'M
equaled facilities for the construction
of reservoirs for the storage of water
for irrigation purposes, the near prox-
unity to immense coal fields, assuring
cheap fuel for manufacturing and do
nestle purposes, the limitless forest Of
fine pine timber for lumber and building
purposes, and of cedar, juniper and
pinon for fence posts and other domes-
tic purposes. These, in connection with
the inexhaustible bodies of gold, silver,
copper lead and iron ores, all within

the most desirable towns in New Mexico
for the investment of capital, which is
