TUESDAYS Election Here,

In studying the results of last Tues
days city election it Is very apparent
that the so-called citizens movement in
this city defeated two of the nominees
of the Republican city ticket. There
was no cause for their defeat. Maj. r.
j. Palen and MI. W. ]. Mcpherson are
taxpayers and responsible citizens, pub
lie spirited and honest. Major Palen Is
Of the best known citizens in the
territory of New Mexico, and stands
high in every respect wherever he Is
known. He should have been elected.
His election would have been a great
benefit to the city and an immense step
forward in the right direction. What
the action Of the citizens, who particle
pated in the citizens movement and
voted against Major Palen will do here
after cannot at this time be co%njectured,
except that in all probability 1t will re-
suit in evil. The canvass of the votes
also shows hat some Democrats voted
for Major Palen, and that many Demo-
Gratis voted the citizens ticket. There
Is no bright outlook for this city for the
coming year.. 1t will have to worry
along the best way 1t car, and it Is to
be hoped that in April, 1901, matters
will be in shape that a clean Republican
administration will be elected. BY that
time 1t will. without doubt. be clearly
demonstrated that q Republican city
administration Is necessary for the
good, economical and honest govern
ment of Santa Fe.

Wal is a great teacher of languages.
The war with Spain taught the Ameri-
"a people more Spanish words than
they had eve known before, and the
raj in the Transvaal has taught the
world the meaning of such outlandish
words as kopje, spruit, kraals, laagers
and many others, against which the
British are at present humping their
heads. War also teaches geography,
and thousands of people who had never
heard of the Transvaal and of Pretoria
before can now locate villages and
streams in South Africa more accurate
rivers of their own country.

Hunting For Gold.

Boston capitalists are fitting out a
gold hunting expedition to Hudson's
bay. Reports have been spread that a
region richer in gold than the Klondike
exists along the bleak shores of that
northern bay, and eastern people are
going wild owe it. But just at the op-
perfume time comes a statement from
A. P. Lowe, Of the Canadian geological
survey, who declares that up to the
present time only scattered colors of
gold have been found, but nowhere to
pay for the working. A little color in a
cold and dreary region a thousand
miles away has started a gold fever in
the New England states! A little color,
such as can be found almost anywhere
in Santa Fee and in thousands of spots
in New Mexico, is the cause of the fit
ting out Of a large prospecting expedi-
tlon at the cost of thousands of dollars.
It IL evident that the average New Eng
lander knows very little of the mineral
resources of his own country, for If he
did he would fit up a thousand prospect
ing expeditions for the sunshiny hills
OF New Mexico for every expedition sent
to frigid Hudson's bay.

An UnheaItfui City.

The city of Manila is not quite so pop
ulous as it had been reported for years.
The careful census by the United States
authorities give it a population of $780,
900, while 300, 900 had been claimed be-
fore. The census also reveals that Ma
Mia is one of the most unhealthful cities
of the world, the death rate being over
forty per 1000. At present it has the
distinction of having three epidemics
within it's bounds, any n of which
would throw the average American city
into a panic. The bubonic plague, beri-
beri and the smallpox are prevalent,
and the American authorities are hav-
ing their hands full in fighting it. Tu-
berculosis and diseases of the throat are
also very common, out of $500 deaths
700 being from those causes. American
physicians are, however, making con-
siderable Roadway in improving the
health of the city. Cleanliness, the great
enemy of disease, Is being enforced, al
though the inhabitants cannot under
stand why streets and back yards
should be kept clean. Under American
domination Manila will eventually be-
come a healthful city, but if it We're
turned over to the Fflipinos it would re-
main a charnel house and a breeding
place for epidemics for another century.

Military Trajninu

There is a bill before congress provid-
ing for the extension of military train
ing to the public schools. Military train
ing will not hurt the boys and girls of
this country a bit. 1t will conduce to
their physical well being, will give them
better figures, and a training which will
aid them in the practical pursuits of
life. The United States is not a martial
nation, as was shown only this week,
when, out of every 200 returns to the
assessors of Colorado, every 1879 men de-
clared themselves unfit for military du-
ty. Military training in the public
schools will remedy such a deplorable
condition. There Is a need for military
training, not so much because the ma
ton needs soldiers. but because it needs
men and women who are in physical
good health.

A Good Customer.

War between the United States and
Great Britain has become an impossi-
bility, although listening to some Dem
ocratic orators, Bryan, if elected presi-
dent, will surely thrash the English lion
at the first opportunity. The United
States furnishes more than so per cent
of the food products imported by Eng
land and the British colonies, which
means $500, 000, 900 of British money an
nually flowing into the pockets of the
American farmer. England buys, be-
sides, 500. 600, 900 worth of cotton from
this country, and the total exports to
the British Isles from the United States
last year amounted to $3.50, 600, 900. 1t
would be poor business management
that would quarrel with a good custom
err like that, and it would be poor policy
for Great Britain to fight with a nation
that furnishes it 60 per cent of all the
supplies it needs, although 1t might get
them from Russia or China, too, but not
of such quality or at such low prices.

Prosperity Reiqns.

Southern Santa Fee county is still
keeping to the front as a section of
great mining activity. The Cerrillos
smelter is now running day and night,
and has given an impetus to mining
which will mean great mineral develop
ment during the next twelve months.
The copper smelter to be erected by the
Santa Fe Gold and Copper Company
will be another permanent improvement
that will keep many men busy. The Ed
ison experimental plant is nearing COM
pletion, and work has been resumed on
a large number of properties. In north
ern Santa Fe county, too, on the Sierra
Mosca grant and elsewhere, ~prospectors
are at work. and, taken all in all. under
favorable conditions, Santa Fe county
may become the leading mining county
of the territory, al honor at present
claimed by Grant county. AS soon as
the county gets rid of it's Indebtedness
there will be an influx Of still more cap
ital. An era of prosperity has just be
gun for Santa Fe county, which is
bound to increase rapidly it's population
and it's wealth.

Webster Davis, who resigned as as
sistant secretary of the interior on &C.
count of his sympathy with the Beers,
has managed to get himself talked
about. 1t no doubt had nettled him that
when he returned from the Transvaal
a short time ago, only bare mention was
made of the fact in the newspapers. He
thirsted for fame of more extensive
kind. He is now getting all the notorie-
ty he wants, and some yellow journals
are already booming him for all sorts
of political jobs, from the presidency
down. Nowadays a man who acts &C.
centric acquires more publicity than
the man who does great deeds. But why
doesn't Mr.. Davis enlist among the
Beers?

A PERTINENT QUESTION.

(SOcorrO Chieftain.)
General Davis is reported to have
opened his mouth and spoken to the eff
feet that the inhabitants of Porto Rico
are better qualified for the rights and
duties of statehood than the inhabitants
of New Mexico are. If the statement is
based on an accurate knowledge of the
facts in the case, it of course implies
nc disparagement of the citizens of our
territory, but is simply a high tribute to
the enlightenment of the Porto Ricans.
IF, however, the assertion is merely the
product of an ill-regulated imagination,
it might be pertinent to ask who in the
name of all the saints in the calendar
General Davis is, and on what meat
he feeds that he has grown so sapient.
