Is Woman SUFFRAGE Worth While?

If the effect of suffrage is to
be judged by the Colorado experiment,
it is not apparent that the franchise for
appears to be misgoverned, Now and
then a woman is elected to office and
serves acceptably, But the nominal
tions to office are usually made in the
same way as in other states: party
bosses control in politics, and hat dis
honest or incompetent men are elected
is indicated by the bankrupt condition
of the treasures Of Colorado and of the
capital city. 1t is not to be supposed
that the women are responsible for this
condition. Were there no feminine vo-
ters this result would have been reach
ed just the same. Woman suffrage has
caused more votes to be cast, secured
recognition of women in minor in
stances and more clerkships for them,
but has not made politicians less rapa
cious nor improved political methods
generally to an appreciate extent. 1t
may be said, on the other hand, that
it has not made conditions worse. A
large proportion of women do not vote
Those who desire to do so have the
privilege, but as they can but vote fo-
one of the various candidates noml-
mated in the same manner common
where Women do not vote, the officers
chosen are no better than were those
elected before oma suffrage was
granted. In a sense, the officers are
chosen when party nominations are
made, and at this stage Of the proceed
ings women are not the controlling fac
tors, and never will be, although theo-
retically the fear of their antagonisrn
may prevent poor nominations being
made. The anticipation of the loss of
votes from the better class of men,
however, has the same corrective in
%tluence. but it is not always sufficient
to result in good selections, for the par
ty politicians know that they may often
elect the worst of two candidates by
political work and methods even when
the case where woman suffrage is al
lowed as we'll as where it is not. The
most of men will not knowingly vote
for a dishonest or incompetent person
any more than will women. But parti-
sanship, a doubt of the truth where
charges are made against a nominee,
and a general desire to defeat the OPP
position, make men vote for candidates
are unworthy. though the voters
lack PERSONAL knowledge of the
fact. But the women are as easily mis-
led as to the qualifications of a candi-
date. That the women are as intense
partisans as men in politics one mas
know by observing what intense parti-
sanship develops among them in church
and social affairs.

New Mexico Mineral Output.

The mineral output for 1899, as esti-
New Mexico credit for but one-third Of
the gold produced within the territory.
The shipments of bullion direct to the
mint from mills within the territory
have never been in large proportion tic
the ore shipped to smelters in Other
states, and which AVE sent the bullion
to the mint without stating from
whence it came originally. The copper
ores shipped from Hanover to Pueblo,

rector credits to New Mexico for the
year, though it is quit, likely tAat. ship
ments are made or the bullion taken to
the mint in such a manne as not tc
show that it comes from New Mexico.
The Hillsboro district has sent out
S1oO,0OO in gold during the year. The
Silver City smelter has been kept busy
upon copper ores mainly, which bear a

sentative and fair estimate to say thai
the ores mined in New Mexico in the
I past year have yielded 81, $50, 900 in gold
Comparatively little silver-bearing orr
has been shipped, the low price of this
mineral having tended to limit produc.
ton and shipment, and therefore tn,
ore has been treated mostly in the ter,
ritory. The mint estimate of the silvel
production of $500, 900 for the veal is no.
far wrong, but should be about $700, 900
The working of old dumps in the Gram
county mines and treatment of shines
has added both silver and gold to the
output for the year. 1t is estimated tina
the copper treated at the Silver City
smelter and shipped to outside points
had a value of 81, $50, 900 exclusive Of the
| gold it carried, about two-thirds of this
copper having been treated at Silver

the most. Not less than 500, 900 worth

over district to smelters and to the stee
works at Pueblo. The output of iror

the coming year, as the camp has

Delagoa Bay Important.

1t may not be true that Great Brit
ain has secured Delagoa bay, the only
independent port through which the
people of South Africa IAN secure sup
plies. But as Britain greatly needs the
bay in order to completely hem in the
Beers and deprive them of supplies,
PORTUGAL will probably be induced to
cede her colony in Africa. There is,
however. some probability of the Beers
grabbing the colony if their strength
continues to grow. While they could
not easily hold the bay without a navy

miles from Pretoria, and a railway con-
meets the Dutch capital with the coast.
Once the Beers prepared to seize the
Portuguese territory, but England and
the Portuguese prepared to Jointly re-
siUt and the effort was not made. 1t is
believed that the territory will pass to
Great Britain next month, and that an
army will be landed at Delagoa bay to

forces are engaged in holding in check

Great Generals On Trial.

The two big war chiefs, Roberts and
Kitchener, which England has sent to
South Africa, have made their reputa-
tions in fighting children of the
DESERT" dervishes, hordes which be-
lieved they could hurl themselves en-
masse against the machine guns of the
British and escape slaughter, through
aid of their prophets and if they fell
heaven as a reward for valor. These
fanatics have fought fearlessly, and
sometimes by superior numbers threat
ened destruction of smaller forces. But
the machine guns always saved the
day, because their leaden missiles
moved down hosts that knew no better
than to put their bodies at the mouths
of these guns. In the present contest
the Beers never expose their forces, but
fight from under cover, and compel the
British to advance in such masses that
well-aimed rifles NOV down their an
%tagonists. The two generals whom En-
gland has rewarded for past slaughters
Of a ~defenseless people will nov be on
trial under difficult conditions, ana
while they will have enormous forces
at their service, they can make prog
ress through the hills of the Beers only
at great losses.

The Agricultural COLLEGE Deficit.

While in the al recently, Hon. L. B.
Prince went to Washington in the in
terest of the agricultural college to see
if the time for replacing the IS, 100, ia
ken from the Morrill, fund for other
purposes, could not be- extended, and
had a. p~rotracted interview with the
secretary Of the interior on the subject.
He informed the secretary that the SUI
had been taken years ago, to aid in
building, and no objection had been
made by the Washington authorities
until recently; that the present board
liquidate the debt, but could save only
about 81, 500 a year out Of the terrific
rial appropriation, which was the only
fund available for the purpose, and with
the utmost economy it would require
at least two years instead of one in
which to repay the amount. and asked
for that amount of extention.
The secretary, who Is particularly
proud of being a business man, prompt
ly answered that it could not be done:
there had been too much Of this sort Of
misappropriation all over the country,
and the department was determined to
stop it. The whole amount must be re-
paid by July / or the appropriation
would be cut off. He added that this
would teach a lesson for the future.
we don't need any lesson" replied
Governor Prince. I'VE did mot create
this debt; It was made years ago. The
present board simply finds it existing,
and wishes in good faith to pay it as
quickly as 1t can; but it Is impossible
to pay So, 100 out of a territorial fund
only amounting to $4,000 at most, a
great part Of which Is absolutely neces.
sary to keep the institution moving
well, then" said the secretary, the
people will have to make up the amount
by subscription. You have plenty Of

The WAGES OF Sin.

The payroll OF the City of FL Pas9
Is $4,000 per month, of which sum the
police courts gather in 81, 600, but to do
this h police not only arrest disturb
ers of the peace, but also make a round
of the cribs where fallen women live
and require them to pay a monthly sum
gathered from their associates into the
city treasury. That the women have a
hard life and in many cases must per-
haps steal in order to pay the city does
NOT make the municipality ashamed to
take the money. The wide-open dance
houses, gambling houses and brothels
are an encouragement for people de-
sirous of %carousing to visit the city, and
for those inclined to mischief to give
way to their bent. Restricting such
places to a reasonable extent, even in
Ell Paso, which has been somewhat
proud of her wild ways in times past,
might cut down city receipts, but would
also prevent so many murders and ex-
pensive court trials. A small city that
finds offenders enough to pay $50 into
the treasury daily, to say nothing Of
those that are unable to pay, either has
a wonderfully efficient police force and
courts. or an extra tough population.

wealth there. and If the people haven't
public spirit enough to raise about
$4,000. when the government is giving
them 2 5000 a year, they don't deserve
any more appropriations"
And so the matter stands, in spite of
all efforts to the contrary; and the
friends of the college and particularly
those at Las Cruces, which is benefited
most directly, will have to contribute
the money to make up the deficit, or
United States aid to the institution will
cease in six months.
In this connection, it Is but proper to
remark that Secretary Hitchcock is
dead right. The sum of IS, 800 should
never have been diverted from
the proper uses for which it was ap-
propriated. Fortunately, there is no
charge of dishonesty in the matter. 1t
is, however, one of these unfortunate
legacies left the territory from the last
unlamented but never to be forgotten
Democratic administration, whose
shortcomings and failures the present
Republican administration is compelled
to undo and straighten out.

1T appeared to be a two-sided deal to
a three-cornered property when Eng
land waived her claim to an interest in
the Samoan islands in favor of Ger.
many, and the United States secured a
Samoan coaling station. AS England
was never known to voluntarily decline
to take anything like an island, it look
ed as if the kingdom was opposed to
expansion. But it now develops, accord
ing to appearances, that when Samoa
was turned loose it was agreed that
Germany should mot interfere with
Great Britain's plan to acquire Delagoa
bay, and the pair of European powers
also agreed to share the Asiatic possess
sions of Portugal.

the progress of almost every other state

many stating that they went on some
distance after feeling they were hit, one
mar telling me that he did not notice
being hit at all until he began to feel
dizzy and found that he had lost a lot
of blood. One notable circumstance Is
that the vast majority Of the wounds
are in the exsremitdes. This the men
