Municipal Ownership.

The towns and cities of Great Britain
are trying with success the municipal
ownership of public and semi-public
commodities. Gas works, water works,
electric light works, street railways,
ETC., are being bought and operated by
municipalities. The result has been
very satisfactory and in nearly all
cases the prices of water, light and
street railroad fares have been lessened
not only to the municipality as a cor
well. The cost of electric light, for in
stance, has been lowered to $50 for an
arc light burning all night every night
of the year, where formerly the munic-
ers for the same service. Many Amer
ican cities are initiating the English
municipalities, and at present there are
a considerable number owning their wa
ter works and light plants. The city OF
Detroit was empowered last week by
the Michigan legislature to purchase all
street railways within it's city limits,
These experiments will be watched
with great interest by the country, and
upon their result will probably depend
the requirement by the national gov
eminent during the next century of
telegraph, railroads and other enter
prises, now belonging to corporations
the same as it has acquired the bust
ness delivering the mails or printing its
own books and bank notes, or as it
thought of manufacturing it's own ar
NOR plate and guns.

Know When They are Well Of.

Judging from the numerous letters
that have come from soldiers at Manila
and Deer published in the country press,
there is no general antagonism shown
to the Americans by the people of Lu-
zon. Aguinaldo and his troops are more
unwelcome and more dangerous to the
welfare of the native population than
are the American forces, who pay for
subsistence stores taken and regard
property rights as sacredly as it is pos
sible to do. The natives know that
Aguinaldo and his staff would Cypress
them were the Americans to depart.
They have been accustomed to domina-
ton by armed forces, but it is a new
experience to the people to have profit
from an army instead of being pillaged,
BY the time A%guinaldo's forces have
been finally scattered the Luzonians
will have to come to regard the advent
of the Americans as a blessing that
freed them from Spanish tyrants, sup

New Mexico Railway Development.

One may build railways on paper for
they are coming anyway. NV Mexico
has the coal, iron, copper, lead, lumber,
cattle and sheep to furnish tonnage for
them. These products are all IN greater
demand than ever, since an industrial
| revival has set in. AS not ona-tentn OF
the quantity of them is produ ,ed that
can be, the output will be rapidly in
creased now, that the market calls for
| them at advanced prices. The railway
| builders realize that New Mexico is one
of natures greatest ~storehOuses for
| these staple minerals, and natures pas
| ture for cattle and sheep. The advent
! of the railway will bring greater local
| population, who will assist in devel-
/ oping all the material of one
| of the most favored sections of the
| United States. The next twenty years
will witness greater growth in every
way than has occurred in a century.
The railway people are fully aware of
| this, and several organizations besides
| those already building have planned to
| enter the field.
During the past year the Pecos valley
| country has been reached by a trunk
| line connection. 1t was the resources
| of that section that induced the build
! ing of that line. The mineral region
and forests of Otero and Lincoln are be-
| ing penetrated by a line from the west.
| 1t was the local alone that in
duced eastern capitalists to undertake
that enterprise. Already it is pretty ev-
ident that this line will be met at it's
terminus by the great Rock Island ex-
tension, or itself be continued to the
present terminus of the trunk line, it
does not matter which. That the Pecos
| valley line must build a ninety-mile
spur up into the coal country where the
Espanola & Northeastern is operating,
goes without saying, for when it be-
comes a great highway with a vast vol
ume of local business and through traf-
fic, a share of which it will get, it must
avail itself of the opportunity to secure
IuC1 az tIi0 HCdISoI punt, III ~ oCCh
a portion of the business of the noun
tain country.
One or two of the Texas lines are sur
| veying for connections to the north and
west in New Mexico. The Colorado
lines are, in some cases, to make local
extensions into New Mexico mining
camps. The Santa FEES feeder down in
Grant county is being pushed farther
into the Hanover district. All the ex-
listing lines report rapidly increasing To-
cal traffic, as well as a great volume of
outgoing business. This condition of
things invariably leads to extensions
and improvement Of the service.
New Mexico has never had any quar-
rel with railways, and will continue to
encourage them to come by fair and
liberal treatment.

Approval Of 0tero County Appointments.

The initial number of the Tularosa
(Otero county, Democrat has been re-
ceived at The New Mexican office. 1t is
published every Tuesday, has four
pages, six columns each, and while
Democratic in doctrine does not think
that Otero county will need any politics
for w years to come. What is of es-
Democrat is it's endorsement of the gov
ernor's Otero county appointments.
Of the probate judge, Andalecio Pa
dilla, the Democrat predicts that he will
make a worthy and competent official.
The paper also says that a safer man
than F. B. Stuart for county commits
sioner it would be hard to find. In
Judge Blacker the governor made a
wise selection for county commissioner.
And of Serapio Marquiz for commits
sioner, I'VE have yet to hear aught
against him. AS to Captain George
Curry, the sheriff, During his two
years as sheriff of Lincoln county, he
made for himself an enviable reputa-
ton as a civil, but more especially as a
criminal officer-violators of the law,
take warning" AS to County Clerk w.
s. Shepherd, From his sober and at
tentive disposition, linked with his prac-
teal and legal talent, we have every
reason to believe that he will make a
most efficient officer" Assessor CAST
nero Candelario lis a bright man, So

lieve he will do his duty" Treasurer
D. M. Sutherland twill make us a most

! Surveyor J.. G.. Lucas comes well rec

The Democrat remarks also that the
| governor made a good selection when
he appointed DR.. G. c. Bryan of Ala
mogordo a member of the territorial
medical board.

Hidden Water Supply.

Southern California irrigation compa-
MES have had an inadequate supply of
water for a al past, and the largest
reservoir, Bear valley, was dry until re-
Gently. In consequence of the drouth in
scores of localities throughout the sew
en- counties, farmers have sunk wells
and found an abundance of water,
either artesian or water that can be
cheaply pumped for irrigating orchards.
In nearly all of the mountain valleys of
New Mexico water a be had by pump
ing for orchard and farm purposes. In
the valley of the Rio Grande the surface
flow is unfailing, except in the southern
part of the territory, and there the sup
ply is ample a few feet below the sandy
river bed, only requiring a slight lift.
The San Juan, Gila, Pecos, Red River,
and many other streams, run boldly all
the year. In the Roswell country an ar
tesian supply rises wherever a rancher
punctures the earth. Doubtless there
are other sections thatswill have liquid
wealth on tap whenever search is made.
The California o~rchardists did not know
what lay beneath until necessity
prompted investigation. Even the great
city of London, after 1000 years, has
just discovered that underlying a part
of the city is a water-filled chalk basin
$500 square miles in extent, only 100
feet below the surface. An artesian
well sunk in this basin yields one mill
ion gallons of water daily. This dis
covery puts an end to a plan to pipe
water from Wales, 200 miles at an ex-
pense of 800, 900, 900. New Mexican
communities away from flowing
streams should avail themselves Of
modern knowledge and methods for
reaching natures undiscovered reser-
voirs and utilize the supply for fruit,
forest and farm.

Protection Puts the United States Ahead.

Something has happened that never
happened before, but which will occur
annually hereafter. In 1898 the United
States exported more than Great Britain,
which has adhered to her free-trade
theories while the United States had a
high tariff. The free-traders of this
country claimed that the only way for
this nation to build up foreign trade
was to allow free entry for foreign
goods. The Republican party has sup
ported the tariff plan to keep out for
eign goods. so that home manufacturers
could do business while paying higher
wages for labor than are paid in other
countries. AS was expected, the manu-

In the merry month of April $780, 900
operatives in the cotton factories of
New England had their wages advanced
ten to twenty per cent. The increase
was made voluntarily by managers.
There are others. When the Democrats
were in power the wages were reduced
and many factories were closed. The
Republicans promised good times and
the promise has been kept. Last year
the Democrats said that the good times
were coming only because European
crops were short and America had food
supplies to sell. The crops have been
marketed and still European money
continues to come in. This veal Demo-
Gratis have nothing to roar about so far
as conditions In the United States are
concerned, so they are lifting up their
voices for fear that America may dc
something to the Filipinos that it should
not, and thereby ruin this country and
disgrace the Republican party. The
Democrats ought to join the Don't
Worry Clubs"

The published list of the Smelte

The published list of the smelters that
are in the combine shows that few got
away The big smelter at Ell Paso is in
the pool, but as the Silver City estab-
lishment is out, the miners of South
western New Mexico will probably not
be squeezed to any extent if there be
any effort to lower prices, which is
doubtful. That establishment has the
reputation of paying fairly for ores.
The larger portion of the product hand
led by the Ell Paso smelter comes from
Mexico, anyway. The Silver City smelt-
err is rapidly increasing it's operations,
and is destined to become n of the
largest establishments in the west. The
home market furnished by this plant is
making the industry in hat section of
the territory more profitable, and has
put it on a firmer basis than ever be-
fore.

The parties who have been engaged
in manufacturing a tanning extract
from canaigria, having exhausted the
supply hat grew wild in the vicinity of
Deming, have located their factory
where a water supply can be had for
growing the plant by irrigation. The
place in view is in the vicinity of San
Antonio, Socorro county, where the
lands are admirably adapted for this
purpose. Contracts are now being made
for land, and it is expected that the ma
chinery will be removed from Deming
and be in operation in one year from
now. This manufacturing business
proved very profitable so long as a sup
play of canaigria could be found within
unreasonable distance of the factory, and
if the company can succeed in growing
it successfully the industry may become
stable and important.

The commissioners sent to the Philip
pines are doing good service by the is
suance of printed proclamations in the
language of the natives, assuring them
that this country has no intention of in
nor with their personal liberty. The ma
tives, in many cases. believe that they
are fighting a religious war against a
race that seeks to convert them to a
new faith. They have been deceived
into thinking this in order to induce
them to fight with fanatical ardor. The
insurgent ranks will be thinned rapidly
when the natives realize hal they have
nothing to fear from submission.

SUGGESTION AS TO SETTLERS
ALLEGED RIGHTS.
(Taos Cresset.)

tldOS SIcSoeL.J ""t
A memorial has been introduced in
the Colorado legislature asking congress
to either allow the settlers upon the
Maxwell land grant to retain the lands
on which they have settled or reimburse
them for the same. In view of the fact
that many of the settlers there were al
lowed to file on their lands under the
various United States laws at the
United States land offices and the
claims which they had thus acquired
were afterward cancelled by the United
States government and the lands decided
to the Grant claimants, there seems to
be no other way in which to settle the
long disputed question, than that con-
gress take up the matter and either give
the settlers the lands, and settle with
the grant owners, or reimburse the set
tiers for all the rights which they ac-
quired, and thus settle forever the vex-
atious question.

Now that an auditorium is practically
a certainty, there is every reason to be-
lieve that the exertion of the proper eff
fort will land the Republican national
convention in Denver during the sum-
mer of 1900. The great west is deserving
of this recognition. The party in the
nation will readily realize that splendid
results would follow. The nation is
broader today than it was one year ago.
To quote the language of Chauncey M.
Depew: 1.-The commercial and industrial
crown has been taken from the head OF
New York and placed upon the brow of
Chicago. The future greatness of the
nation lies between the Rocky noun
tains and the Golden Gate" The senti-
ment of the people is broader than it

prosperity and development. The west
is walking hand in hand with the east
in the path hat leads to prosperity. All
