Mineral Wealth at Home.

Dawson City, Alaska, is going the way
of many other mining camps that nave
played out. It's population is rapidly de-
creasing, and the fictitious real estate
values that existed during the boom
have gone down to a fraction of what
they were formerly. Only portions OF
the town that We're burned have been
rebuilt, and then only in the most UNI
substantial manner. During March 5000
people left Dawson City for Cape Nome,
and over 1000 went to the new copper
district of Tananah. All Alaska mining
booms are apt to be ephemeral. The rig
ors of the climate, the unproductivene,s
of the soil, the meager transportation
facilities and the scarcity of labor will
prevent the working Of any mineral de
posits that may exist much deeper thar
a few feet below the surface. The great
| est visible wealth is scraped off the sur
face, and then a camp Is abandoned eX-
| cept under the most favorable circum-
| stances, such as exist at the Treadwell
| mills near Juneau. The mineral wealth
| of New Mexico and Arizona and other
| states and territories will have to be X
hausted before men will again turn TIC
the abandoned gold fields of Alaska for
| gold, copper or other mineral wealth.

A territory is a subject province of the
national government. Its very existence
depends upon the will of congress, for,
having made it, congress a also
change it. Congress can reduce New
Mexico to a military province, denying
to it's people all forms of civil govern
ment. That it is not likely to do this,
does not meet the proposition h a it
possesses the power to do as it pleases
with New Mexico or any other terri
tory. From this condition the people of
New Mexico have a right to be deliv-
cred. They have a right to demand that
congress withdraw the jurisdiction of
| the national government in respect of
| all save national matters, and permit
them to govern themselves as free
American citizens do in the states.
Not alone the prejudice and Ignorance
of the east stand in the way. h sell
fshness of that region also erects ar
obstacle to New Mexico's admission
The people of states beyond the Missis-
| sippi river are unwilling that the power
of the far west should be increased in
| the national government. To prevent
| New Mexico from gaining this power
they deny it's people the power to gov
ern themselves in local matters and in
t~erests. To this injustice congress
should no longer be a party.

New Mexico'CoaI Production

Edward w. Parker, statistician of the
United States geological bureau. has
figured out that last year the United
States produced 259, 900, 900 short tons of
coal, or 40, 600, 900 more tons than the
year preceding. OF that amount New
Mexico furnished 1,201, 66S tons. This is
not a large percentage, it is true, but it
will do as a good beginning. 1t is more
than California, Idaho and Oregon to-
gether produced. 1t is more than Titan
| or Texas furnished. 1t is 80 per cent
| better than New Mexico did the preced-
ing year, and as the total increase OF
| coal production in the United States
| compared with the year before, was
| only 17.5 per cent, that of Colorado only
| Is per cent, and Of other states in sim
liar proportion, it will be seen that tn
| coal production of New Mexico is des'
| tined to be one of the greatest factors
in the terrftory's growth and develop
ment.

Dead Issues.

The issues of the Democratic party Tor
the coming presidential campaign are
mainly a%ntiquated or dead issues. Live
issues are created by events and MOI by
party platforms. 1t is the war with
Spain, the acquisition of foreign possess
sions, unparalleled prosperity and the
triumphs of American diplomacy
abroad that are events upon which the
Republican platform will be based,
while the Democrats, ignoring the prob
lens created by these occurrences, VIII
| stand again upon the platform of four
| years ago, which is as antiquated as
| would be the Democratic platform OF
| 1856. The Republican platform will be
a constructive platform, while the Dem
ocratic platform will be one merely o
| negation, fault finding and of dead is
| sues. Of course, the majority of Amer
lean voters will be with the Republican
party this fall, but the wonder is tina
men can be found to stand in with {
party of negation and dead issues.

new MEXICO AND STATEHOOD.
The Denver Republican Strongly Urges
Statehood For New Mexico.

Denver Republican,
The claims of New Mexico to admis-
sion as a state were forcibly presented
by Ex-Governor Prince in an address
before the transit Mississippi congress at
Houston. This subject has frequently
beer discussed, and it has upon numer-
GUS occasions been brought to the at
tention of congress. But controlled by
eastern prejudice and ignorance, con-
gress has refused to do justice TO the
people of New Mexico. =.
That territory has a population of
about $50, O0O, which is nearly six times
the population Ohio had when it was
admitted. 1t has financial strength suf-
ticient to maintain a state government,
and it's people both desire a government
of thai kind and are qualified to conduct
it in perfect harmony with American
sentiment and the principles that I'M
| derlie American institutions. The as
| sumption that the Mexican element in
the population would prove a dangerous
factor is not justified by the facts, nor
is it sustained by people who are suffi-
GENTLY informed on the subject to form
an intelligent opinion.
A fundamental American principle is
ignored in the denial of statehood to
New Mexico. The cornerstone of our
political institutions is the right of the
people to govern themselves. The in
habitants of New Mexico are true
Americans. They are not an alien race,
foreign to the spirit and principles of
the American people. Even If this were
denied in respect Of the Mexican popu-
lation it could not be denied in respect
of the thousands of Americans who,
now residents of the territory, were
born in the states. These Americans are
building up the territory. They are add
ing to it's wealth. They are sustaining
it's schools, of which New Mexico has an
excellent system. They have served as
residents of New Mexico, in a state OF
pupilage, long enough. They have a
right to demand the enactment of a
law by congress which would enable
them to erect a local government OF
their own.

An Object Lesson,

From the columns of the Democratic
press the Republican party can furnish
evidence that the Republican policy of
protection has built up industry and
prosperity. Very often a Democratic
newspaper will be found referring to
the magnificent industries in various
parts of the country. Only recently the
Baltimore Sun called attention to the
unexampled growth of the silk industry
in New Jersey, where there are now 152
silk mills, with $21, 0O0, 900 capital, $4,000
employees and an annual product of $43,-
900, 900. These figures are duplicated in
the neighboring state of Pennsylvania,
where prosperous cities have sprung up
around silk mills.
This industry would and could not
exist IL the principles and doctrines of
the Democratic party had prevailed.
Repeated defeats Of the free traders
alone enabled silk manufacturers to
rear those mills and to give employment
| to thousands of men and women.
Another lesson is to be drawn from
the establishment of the silk industry in
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and it is
| a lesson that New Mexico should take
to heart. Silk mills are a comparative
novelty in the United States. At one
| time the impression was abroad that
| silk could be manufactured only in
France, China or Japan. Still some ven
turesome New Jersey man with more
brains than capital went into the bust
ness on a small scale, and from this
small beginning, through the aid of
American protection and capital, began
a mighty industry which has made
many men rich, has built large cities,
and employs as many men and women
as there are in the whole territory of
New Mexico. There Is no reason in the
world why such Industries could not be
built up in this territory. In fact, there
are many reasons why New Mexico
should become a manufacturing state.
Fuel, raw material and a good home
market exist, and capital and enter
! prise are all that Is lacking.

occupants, a smaller number than for
