A Fulfilled Pledge.

The pledge of the Republican party
with reference to money has been full
filed. The new currency law breaks
the "endless chain," and at the same
time establishes a sufficient guaranty
fund in the Treasury to maintain at
a gold value every dollar of currency
in circulation i'm the United States
whatever form its may be. 1t makes
the reserve fund of redemption of pa
per money $3.50, 900, 900, instead of
500, 600, 900, and authorizes the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to increase this
reserve fund whenever it gets below
500, 600, 600, by exchanging the pa
per currency thus redeemed for gold
in the general fund, or by sale Of
bonds if necessary to keep the reserve
up to its proper figure. The fact that
the notes redeemed cannot be use I
again to meet deficiencies i'm the cur
rent revenues, and only by exchange
of gold, obviates the possibility of
pumping the gold out of the Treas
ury by the "endless chain" process
which proved so disastrous a few
years ago, while the fact that the law
specifically names the dollar "25.S
grains gold, nine-tenths fine," as the
unit of value, puts an end to any pos
sible question as to the value and ac-
ceptability of American money in
any part of the world, and of the re-
lation of any one of our dollars to any
other dollar.

In the first seven months of the
fiscal year the importations of for
eign wool were nearly two aud one
quarter million dollars less than the
corresponding months of last year
despite the increased price of that
commodity. Protection seems TO be
offering American wool-growers a
good opportunity to supply the
American manufactures with the
raw material needed.

We can point with pride

vigorous defense that the Trans vaal was menaced with annihilation. England stepped in with Transvaal acq uiescence and turned back the barbarous human tide, and the eouu. try was reannexed to the British empire. Their savage enemies, worsted, the Boers turned the guns supplied by England against their preservers. Gladstone did irrepar- ably wrong to the world in giving autonomy to the Boers. By treaty the same rights were to be given to outlanders as to native inhabitants.

LECTURE ON AFRICA.
Rev. Robt. Renison is a sympatAizer
 With the British.

A large audience thoroughly rep resentative of the culture of Albu- querque, gathered at Armory hall last night to listen to the scholarly lecture on Africa delivered by Rev. Robert Renison, pastor of St, John s Episcopal church, and also to de lightful musical program, says the +Albuq que-que N. M. Journal Demo crat.
 The first part of the reverend gen tleman's lecture dealt with the an cient wonders of Egypt. peculiar habits and customs of barbarous central African tribes, the horrors of canniballsm and the iniquity of the slave traffic
 The second part of MT. Renison's S lecture ably dealt with tue Boer question. The speaker first traced briefly the history of the coloniza- tion of South Africa. He showed tbae the cause of the great trek of the Boers was the decision of the British government to suppress the slave traffic in all the colonies. When tue Boers trekked into the wilderness they were British sub jects In their pew nome they made ra5s cn the native ribes or the purFsse q lnuing the ye traf he Zalas and hafflfs sloipsa lyfcS a-d made such

of justice, refusal of the franchise, personal violence and even death. He declared that the Boers were the narrowest, most tyranical race that ever laid claim to civilization. It was England that was fighting for liberty, racial equality and jus tice to all and the advancement of the cause of humanity. England should receive the moral support of all thoughtful people. The Boers were fighting to preserve a tyranic- al oligarchy which denied the com- monest measure of right to liberty loving people.
 Mir. Renison found some excuse for the Boers in the that they were an example of arre ted devel-- opment, having been so long st off from the world that they were not wholly to blame for their mar rowness, cruelty and bigotry- Judging from the applause received the audience vas decidedly pro- british in sympathy.

Work on Unpatented Claims.

II $500 worth Of work is performed
upon a mineral location one yea it
would be necessary to do 500 the
next year. but the $500 would enable
the operator to obtain a patent that
much sooner, In fact it is possible to
get a United States patent in about
eight months, provided the work is
prosecuted with due diligence, the diff
steps of the law complied with
and the necessary $500 worth Of work
done. From this it will be evident
that the only advantage gained by do
ing $500 worth Of work in one year is
the fact that the patent is brought that
much nearer.
