RaiIroadinq As a Career.

There have been so many promotions
on the Santa Fe railroad of late, and
there are so many high officials of that
railroad who have worked their way to
their present station from the lowliest
positions that it must be apparent to
every young nan that railroading offers
a chance of a career to every conscien-
tious, industrious, bright young man
There are no uncertainties about it as
there are about a political career, Or
even a professional career, for the mo-
ment a man enters the employ of the
railroad company his pay begins, and
he knows that at the end of the month
his check for a certain amount awaits
him. He will be promoted as vacancies
ahead of him occur, or, if he is espe-
cially brilliant, he may mount the lad
der to higher positions and bigger sal
airy more rapidly than by the regular
line of promotion. Railroading is one of
the best paying and most promising oc-
equations of the present day, and the
young man who chooses it for his life
docs not make a mistake, for
the power and the extent of the rail-
roads is but a modicum of what it will
a decade or two hence.

Why Larrazol0 Should be Defeated.

Mr.. LarraZolo, if elected, would aid
the people of Ell Paso to pass the in
famous Stephens bill, now pending in
congress, The passage of this bill would
rob the people Of the territory of the
right, enjoyed for 800 years, of using the
tributaries for agricultural and pastor
al purposes. Mr.. Larrazolo is a native
of Chihuahua, who lived for some years
in Texas, and who came to New Mexi-
co only about three years ago. He is not
identified with u people or the inter-
ests of the territory. He is a bird of
passage, who, if defeated, will go back
to FL Paso, very likely, and perhaps to
chihuahua. Good luck to him there.
The New Mexican has nothing against
him. The people of Ell Paso can vote for
him for congress until doomsday If they
so choose, or the people of Chihuahua
for governor or any other office if they
wish to. But certainly the people of
New Mexico should not vote for him,
as he could and would not represent
properly in congress, If elected.
He does not know how and would not
know how. He knows too little about
them, their wants, their wishes and de-
sires. This may be ringing the changes
IN Mr.. Larrazolo, but these statements
are facts and truth, and hence will bear
repeating from now until election day.

Mining Opportunities.

Every once in a while a rich strike of
ore is made on a New Mexico prospect
or mine, and brings wealth to some
poor miner who has been plodding
along for years in the search Of fortune.
Prospecting and mining conducted up
on scientific and conservative princi-
pies should always prove lucrative, but
the element of chance also enters
very largely in the question of great
success in mining. and it is that which
makes it so attractive to many men. To
awake in the morning a poor man and
to go to bed a wealthy man is a pros
pect which is ever before the eyes of the
New Mexico, especially, with it's
large undeveloped mineral wealth, Of
fers many of these opportunities of ac-
quiring wealth by mining, and many
fortunes have been made in the terri
tory by a lucky strike, as we'll as by pa
tient. systematic work.

HON. B. s. RODEY.
He Is a Man of More Than Average
Ability,
(Socorro Chieftain.)

(SOcOrrO CnleICaln.)
The Chieftain last week contained the
statement that Hon. B. S. Rodey was a
man of more than average ability; that
he was honest; that he was eloquent,
and that he had a wide acquaintance in
New Mexico. The statement was made
on the strength of reports and the prob
ability that the Republican party of the
territory would nominate no mar with
out those qualifications for the highest
political position in it's gift.
Monday night Mr.. Rodey delivered
before a crowded assembly in the court
house of this city an address that must
have proved every point in the state
ment cited to the satisfaction of Re-
publicans and Democrats alike. The
statement that Mr.. Rodey is able, hon
est and eloquent was supported by the
strongest possible evidence. That he
enjoys a wide acquaintance in New
Mexico is extremely probable from the
fact that he has been a resident of the
territory for twenty years. If a greater
degree of probability is desired 1t will
be afforded on the 9Th day of November.
The Republican party of this territory
has no reason to censure it's convention
for it's choice of a candidate for dele
gate to congress. On the contrary, the
wisdom of the choice of it's nominee will
be amply indicated three weeks from
next Tuesday, when the returns will
show the triumphant election of Hon.
B. S. Rodey.

Do We WANT STATEHOOD?
If You Do You Must Vote for Hon. B. S.
Rodey.

If New Mexico should elect a Demo-
cratic delegate, it would be taken as a
matter of course that she would elect a
Democratic member of the house n
two Democratic senators in case she
came into the union as a state. Under
such circumstances, what could be more
absurd, more utterly preposterous, than
to hope for statehood while the nation
al administration and both houses of
congress are strongly Republican? Po-
litical parties nowadays do not make
new states out of hostile communities.
The Democratic party kept the Dako-
tas, Wyoming, Idaho and Washington
out Of the union for a good many years
on strictly political grounds, even after
South Dakota had population enough to
entitle her to two members of the house.
In view of such facts it is little better
than sheer nonsense for Democratic
politicians to talk about the prospect
of statehood while advocating the cleo
ton of a Democrat as delegate to con-
grassland a Texas Democrat at that.
The people of this territory believe
that statehood would be of more value
to New Mexico than anything else ex-
| cept the tariff on wool, and under ex-
listing circumstances it is. impossible for
Democratic speakers, by any sort of
sophistry, to show that the election of
a Democratic delegate would not be IA
tai to the cause of statehood.
The national government is Repub-
lican. and there is no reason to doubt
that it will remain Republican for many
years to come, because experience has
taught the people of the United States
that the policy Of the Republican party
is the policy that promotes the prosper
ity of the country, while the policy of
been tried, has brought industrial pa
ralysis and commercial ruin. This be-
ing the case, the only hope for the adj
mission of New Mexico to statehood
rests upon the ability of the people to
convince congress that the territory is
Republican, and so reliably Republican
that there is not even a remote posi-
bility that the new state would send a
Democratic member or Democratic sem
ators to represent her in the congress of
the United States. We are not to con-
slider things as they ought to be, but as
they actually exist, and that being the
case the voters Of New Mexico must
recognize the fact that in these times
political parties do not bring new states
into the union for the benefit of the
opposition.

Affairs in China will be complicated
by another rebellion. which has made a
start in two of the provinces, and
which has for its object the dethrone-
ment of the Manchu dynasty, which
really is as foreign to China as the Eu-
rOpeans are. These new rebels abstain
from pillage. and show themselves
friendly to the foreigners: in fact, they
are undertaking some of the work
which the foreign powers intended to
do themselves in China. This, however,
will not make the allies any more
friendly toward the rebels, for any COM
plicatiOn of that kind has been unlocked
for and unsought, and if it gains any
Roadway at all may precipitate a gen.
eral war.

BRYAN GIVES UP HOPE.
BE Says the Republicans Will Garry the
Country BY Coercion,
est. Louis Globe Democrat

(St. Louis GlODe-DemOCrat.)
The most obtuse of Bryan's dupes
must see by this time hat their candi.
date has given up all hope of %deludine
the country into electing him this year
In his speech in Salem, ILL.,, he made
this fact plain. IF the election were
held to-day" he declared, "there is no
doubt we would have a majority in the
electoral college and the popular vote.
But the Republican managers are now
collecting from the monopolies a large
campaign fund. They will buy every
vote that can be bought. They will CO.
cree every vote that can be coerced.
They will intimidate every laboring
man who can be inundated. They will
bride every election judge that can be
bribed. They will corrupt every court
that can be corrupted"
Newspaper readers will see that this
hysterical lamentation by Bryan over
his lost and discredited cause has a ia
miliar sound. Just after the election in
1896 he charged his defeat to several
things. These were bribery, intimida-
ton, and what he called the ignorant
foreign vote. According to his TRADE at
that time, which is repeated now, four
weeks before the voting, in anticipation
Of his more crushing defeat this year,
all of the employees in the great indus
tries who were not inundated by their
employers were bribed. Immense sums
of money, so he charged, were spent to
coax or force the workingmen of the
country into voting for their own inter-
est. and doing the very thing that every
worker would naturally do
without any outside pressure. Then the
foreigners, according to Bryan, did not
understand American issues, and there
voted the Republican ticket and for
100 cent dollars, instead of supporting
him and declaring for so cent dollars. At
the present moment he is not assailing
the foreign vote. He is, in fact, doing
best to attract it, but the moment
election is over the old assault of
1896 will be repeated. The corruption
and intimidation cry Is heard already. |
The attack on the German, Scandina-
Wan, Irish and other elements Of the
1aturalized Americans will come imme-
after the returns which proclaim
3ryan's defeat.

Though the European nations are
armed to the teeth, and the main OBJ
iect of their existence seems to be prep
aratiOn for war, there isn't n of them
the outcome of which cannot be pre-
dicted with certainty. War is not mere
~ a battle between armed forces, but it
is a financial operation as well, and it
leaders are most afraid of. Money fur
nishes the sinews Of war, and a Euro
pean conflict would eat money with
fearful rapidity. A war several years
in length would bankrupt any of the
great powers.

WILL SERVE THE PEOPLE FAITHFULLY
Hon. B. S. Rodey Is a Strong Advocate
of Statehood.
(Lordsburg Liberal.)

The Republican nominee for delegate
to congress-, Bernard S. Rodey, has long
been a resident of Albuquerque, and is
one of the prominent lawyers of that
town. AS might be imagined from his
name, Mr.. Rodey is Irish. He came to
the United States as a boy, and made
his own way in the world. When a
youth he studied law in the office of
Ben Butler. After being admitted to
the bar he came west to grow up with
the country, and settled at Albuquer-
que. AT that time it vas slender pick
ing for a young lawyer in the Ducal
City, and instead of sitting around
waiting for cases and running his face
for his board, he went to work in the
Atlantic & Pacific offices as a clerk. AS
soon as he accumulated a little money
he hung out his single and commenced
to practice law. AS a lawyer he has
been very successful. Like most men of
his nationality and profession he has
has served the territory as a member
of the Legislature, and as a member of
the constitutional convention, and now
has been nominated as a delegate to
congress. When elected, as he surely
will be, he will serve the people faith
fully at Washington. He is a good law
yer, an eloquent speaker. and has a fine
presence. He is a strong advocate of
statehood, and will use every effort to
secure that boon for the territory, and,
doubtless, will succeed.

Carroll D. Wright, commissions of
labor, has issued a bulletin giving the
summary and data Of a previous pub
LEGATION on trusts and industrial COM
binations.' The data We're secured di-
rect from the pay rolls of establish
ments in,all sections of the country, and
show conclusively that wages have adj
vanced all over the country under the
Mckinley administration. Taking the
wages of the year 1891 as the standard,
wages declined to 97.SS per cent under
Cleveland's administration, while they
have now risen to 103.4 3 per cent, or the
highest point ever attained in this
country. The question before the peo-
pie of the United States is whether they
will retain an administration whose pol
icies have made such a rise in average
wages nOSSible.

Lafrazolo Has No Claim On The Voters Of
New Mexico.

The Democratic candidate for Con-
gress, O. A. Larrazolo, is travelling
about making speeches advocating his
own election. This is, of course proper
and right from his standpoint. No
doubt he would like to go to Washing
ton and draw the Sc, 500 in pay and al
lowances allowed the delegate from
New Mexico. But there certainly exists
no reason whatever why a mar who
has been in the territory only three
years, and who is not identified in any
way, shape or ann with the people
of the territory, should be elected to
his office. He can do no good there.
The New Mexican does not say that he
would do any positive harm if elected.
The next congress will be Republican,
and hence it would be impossible for
him to do anything of the kind. On the
other hand, there is no doubt that if
Mr.. Rodey should be elected to con
gress he would do the territory and it's
people great good. No delegate can be
expected to do an immense amount of
good, but Nh. Rodey would work hard
and energetically in the direction Of
getting needed legislation for the terri
tory, and ought to obtain the passage of
an enabling act. MI. Rodey is in every
respect better qualified and equipped
than the Democratic nominee for the
position. He is a man in the prime of
life. has obtained an enviable reputa-
ton in his chosen profession of the
law. and has the respect of those who
know him. He will make a good dele
gate, that is assured; hence he should
be elected.
