A letter recently received at Mesilla

who 10 a graduate Of the stenography
department Of the territorial agricult-
ural college with the class of 81, gives
some interesting information about the
opportunities existing at Manila for the
English Spanish stenographers and 9th,
ere. He is engaged as stenographer and
interpreter in the government mining
bureau. A photographer, he says. does
not necessarily have to speak Spanish,
but a knowledge Of the language will be
a great aid to HIM. Salaries run from
$3.50 to $500 a month, silver. He writes:
Il would not advise anyone to come out
here without previously having obtained
employment from the government, for il
is a risky piece Of business unless you
have plenty Of money. Anyone who
expects to come out here and get big
wages for doing nothing had better stay
away. Wages are moderate, but living
is high-out Of sight in fact. However
this is without doubt a wonderful coun-
try and full Of possibilities" Ralph

A Joyous Thought.

A thrill of Joy passes through the
world with the assurance that the
ENJOYS and other foreigners in the
capital of China are at last safe. The
fact that the long suspense and anx-
iety had resulted in despair makes the
revelation that the official representa-
tives of the foreigners and their fam
lilies are rescued-with the exception
of the German minister, whose assas-
sination occurred before the siege
began-the more comforting.
1t has been a long and dreadful
night of torture through which the
civilized world has passed, and the
happiness of relief that comes with
the morning is sweetened by a thought
as fondly cherished as the realization
that the most of the resi- horror that
was dreaded had proven a horrid
dream. and that thought is that even
the Chinese nation has not been
quite so barbarous and inhuman as
was feared.

Always RobbInR You.

Here are few of the reasons why
the 'plain people" are not inclined to
meekly accept the inspired state
ments of the trust organs and speak
ers. showing what natural, necessa-
nv and benetcent institution the trust
is:
1t requires so per cent more wheat
to buy a stove than it did in 1896.
1t requires 20 bushels more corn to
buy a wagon than it did in 1896.
1t requires 100 per cent more corn
or wheat to buy copper kettle than
in 1895.
1t requires twice as much corn to
buy a coil of rope as in 1896.
Ii requires 40 per cent more grain
to buy a low tina in 1896.
1t requires 10 per cent more grain
to buy p hoe, rake or a shovel than
in 1896.
81 in 30 now cost $l2.
The price of cultivators and other
farm implements has gone up pro-
portionately.
Galvanized barbed wire costs from
81 to $3.50 per hundred more than in
1896
1t requires 10 per cent more corn
or cotton to buy a pound of sugar
than in 1896.
You have to pay 40 per cent more
for glass than in 1896.
Freight rates have climbed back to
the exorbitant figures which caused a
popular revolt in legislation a few
years ago.
The price of oil, coal, lumber.
tools and hardware has gone up from
40 to 100 per cent.
And all these things have been done
by trusts.
A trust robs you, waking or sleep
ing, eating or drinking, working or
playing. living or dying. and the cof-
lin trust gets you in the end.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Several readers have asked US to
summarize the attitude of the press
toward the Kansas City platform and
ticket, comparing the situation OF this
year with 1896, and indicating the
changes, if any, that have taken
place. We prefer not to do this. let
Ting the quotations we make stand
for themselves. We comply, how
ever, to some extent, with the re-
quests referred to. trusting that no
own opinions.
Changes have taken place. In the
east Mr.. Bryan has gained many
newspaper supporters, or perhaps we
should say that he has lost many en-
emies. Notable examples of this fact
are found in New England, where q
mum Der of democratic papers that op-
posed Bryan in 1896 will support him
now on the 'anti-imperialism" issue.
There is another class of papers, rep
resented by the New York Evening
Post and Springfield Republican, for
mer supporters of Mckinley, which
will support neither Mr.. Bryan nor
MIR. Mckinley, being utterly opposed
10 free silver represented by the for
mer. and "imPerialism" represented
by the latter.
On the other hand. Mr. Bryan has
lost support in the south, where sew
eral important papers, notably the
Charlotte Observer, the Birmingham
views, and tina DallasGalveston News,
express their dissatisfaction with the
democratic ticket and some features
of the platform. Mr.. Watterson,
however. announces in his paper that
be will advocate the election of Bryan,
who was opposed by the Courier-Jour-
nal ia 1896, despite his free silver
views.
In Chicago Mr.. Bryan has gained
two supporters, the Chicago Chronicle
and the new Chicago daily, the Amer
lean. The Chronicle worked stead
lastly against the free silver plank,
but announced after the convention
was over that the paper would stand
for the platform as adopted. Farther
west, Mr.. Bryan has Host the Denver
papers, which, democratic and repub-
Iican alike, supported him in 1896.
This summary covers, we think, all
the changes of ground we have OBJ
served. The fact of main Importance
to be derived from an examination of
the newspaper field is there are now
more democratic newspapers sup
porting Bryan than there were in
1896.

THERE is quite difference in the
oratorial ability of Alschuler and
Yates. The more the former talks,
the more friends he makes, and the
more the latter talks, the more he
loses. When a warm-hearted reoub-
lican made the following remark yes
terday. he hit the nail on the head:
its all off now. If we could keep
Yates still there might be some posi-
bility of his being elected. but he is
talking himself clear out of the esti-
nation of the people and talking him
self clear out of any chance of cleo
ton. If we could Just keep him still
and tell what fine old war governor
his father was. we would defeat AL
schuler, even if the latter is a smarter
man and better man for governor. "

How Long:

The war in the Philippines has been
going on now for just one year and a
half. For IS weary months the best
blood of the United States has been
drained into a repulsive and appar-
emily bOttomless swamp of guerilla
fighting that leads to nothing, and we
have spent on the wretched Job more
money than the democratic party I'M
der Jefferson and Monroe needed to
triple the area of the republic.
When we began war with Spain, a
nation of $4,000. 900 people, with a
considerable navy. an army that could
call upon a million trained men, a
government, we fought her TO a stand
still in three months aud a half, and
we never put more than $4,000 men
IN our lighting line. To suppress p
600, 600 unorgsnized Tagals, in what
we have never recognized as a war.
we are using 65. 900 men, aud after Is
months of fighting we do not seem
much nearer success than we were in
the beginning
Does not this imply atrocious mis-
management somewhere? And how
long is to be kept up? Are the Amer
lean people prepared to resign them
selves to a permanent state of war in
the Philippines, with great part of
their resources in men and money an
nually devoured to no purpose?
Our army of occupation in the ISL
ands is equal to the entire force that
state like New Jersey could be eX-
pected to raise to resist invasion.
Practically. therefore. we have sub
tract.d state like New Jersey from
the defensive resources of the nation.
That is what has been accomplished
by Imperialism, masquerading in the
robes of expansion.
If we had given the Eilipinos voice
in the enlargement OF their OWL
country there would have been NJ

Does It Pay to Buy Cheapf

A cheap remedy for coughs and
colds is all right, but you want some
thing that will relieve and cure the
more severe and dangerous results OF
throat and lung troubles. What shall
you do? Go to warmer and more
regular climate? Yes, if possible; il
not possible for you, then in either
case take the only remedy that has
been introduced in all civilized coun-
tries with success in severe throat and
lung troubles, "Boschee's German
Syrup" 1t not only heals and slim
ulates the tissues to destroy the germ

causes easy expectoration, gives a

gotiate with them the war could be
stopped even now.
In dealing with the savage Moros,
of the Sulu islands, with their po-
lygamy, slavery and monarchy, we
were willing to recognize the local
authorities and customs, and by so
doing we obtained the allegiance of
these ferocious bandits without a
blow. Why should we refuse to do
as much for the civilized and chris
tian inha bitants of Luzon?
