May Day Strikes.

The strike epidemic that broke out
yesterday all over the United States can
be explained by the fact that May day
is recognized the world over as labor
day. The labor unions who had griev-
ances against employees had decided
that May l was to be the day on V hich
general strikes were to be i~naugurated,
not only in this country, but on the Eu-
ropean continent as well. There is a
moral as well as a material effect in
having strikes Of similar trades at the
same time. Most of the strikes that
were started yesterday are in the build
ing trades, and in those trades the
greatest activity commences on May 1.
The general prosperity all ovef the
country, too, has something to do with
the strike for these are not because
employers have lowered wages, but be-
employees thought that the time
had come to demand higher wages and
shorter hours. No sane man will strike
when times are hard, for a strike has
the greatest chance of success in the
days of prosperity, when labor is in de-
mand at good wages.

Santa Fe a Minin1 Cam

There are many indications that min
ing around Santa Fe will be changed
from a condition Of possibility and
probability to a state of certainty. 1t
has been known for centuries that min
ing wealth exists in the mountains east
and north of Santa Fe, and there has
been a good deal of prospecting which
confirmed that knowledge. but not until
nov has any systematic effort been
made not only to prospect but also to
develop mines. Although only a be-
ginning has been made, some recent
important strikes of ore prove that mil
lions of dollars worth of mineral wealth
exist within a few miles of Santa Fe.
Carbonates predominant, and wolfram
lite has been found, and from those in
dications great expectations may be
realized. Blu 1t Is not only gold and
copper in which this section is rich, but
coal, iron, mica and building stone as
well. 1t is not an idle prophecy that is
being made that Santa Fe will be an
important mining town before long, for
the prophecy is based On facts. The re-
cent mineral discoveries are perhaps the
turning point In the history of Santa
Fe. which will usher In a new era of
growth and prosperity.

Better Public Schools.

All over the territory cities and towns
are making an effort to better the
standing of the public schools. Albu-
querque Is constructing a magnificent
high school building; Roswell is erect
ing a 500, 900 modern school house; Ra-
ton has just finished a very beautiful
school building; Las Vegas has taken
preliminary steps toward the building
of a fine edifice by fall; the smaller ter
ritorial towns in many instances are
putting up new and substantial build
ings. In the country districts, too, the
school term is gradually being length
ened, and the salary of teachers is be-
ing advanced. In view of these facts,
Santa Fe cannot afford to take a step
backward. In public school work the
motto must be Forward" and if the
schools during the past term have been
good they should be still better next
term. To retrograde by supplanting
a good superintendent and good teach
ers by inferior mes would be a step
backward hat would hurt the city in
more than n way, and the citizens
will be sure to resent any such action.

The fact that the deficit of the agri-
cultural college has been made good by
the people of the Mesilla valley speaks
well for the public spirit of that part
of the territory. AS a matter of fact,
public spirit has never been lacking in
New Mexico. In Santa Fe, for instance,
in many instances has the public liber-
ally supported worthy objects brought
to it's attention in a proper manner and
has given thousands of dollars to pro-
mote railroad and industrial enterprises
which were deemed worthy of support
and would do so again, although in the
future schemes that claim to be for the
benefit of the city will be more thor-
oughly investigated than they have
been heretofore.

vote he received. They gave him a plu-
rality Of 24O, 1000, and they represent the
center Of the Republican strength in the
nation. These states all held their state
conventions recently, and in not one Of
them was there any wavering in the
support Of President Mckinley and the
policy outlined by him. Republican har-
mony in November Is even more secure
than 1t was in 1896. and any hopes the
Democrats are building on OBJECTIONS
from the Republican vote are mere hal
lucinations. from which there will be a
sorrowful awakening.

railroad evidently intends to make it a
large town. The railroad shops are to
be enlarged, and several hundred more
men will be given employment. The de-
pot and hotel to be erected by the COM
pany are to be finer and more costly
even than those built by it at Las We
gas. 1t is a good thing to be in favor
with a great railroad corporation like
the Santa Fe company, and it is to the
disadvantage of Santa Fee that it is not
so favored.

mining and Scientific Press,

mining and Scientific Press.)
The circumstances and surroundings
Of a mine or mining region often have
more to do with it's prosperity than the
intrinsic value or richness of it's ore.
This factor enters into mine values
and the report of a mining engineer. In
one locality $50 ore may be low grade
and profitless; in another more favor
ably situated as regards transportation,
mills and main centers, $40 ore will be
of value. The prominence that Colora-
do deservedly occupies is largely be-
cause of the admirable system of rail-
ways in that state, penetrating any
where and everywhere that there are
any indications of mineral wealth. In
Colorado the railroad keeps just behind
the p~rospector.

The Simpsons chley controversy was
one of the unpleasant incidents of the
late war, and the public is ready to
forget it if only the fool friends of Ad-
miral Schley would let up. Neither
Sampson nor Schley have gained much
in public respect through it, but it must
be admitted that the dignified silence
Of ! ,miral Sampson and his friends
compares favorably with the political
talk and the vaporings of Admiral
Schley and his admirers.

merely a time killer, without any good
results from it being apparent.

GOVERNOR PRINCES GOOD REC

Albuquerque Citizen.)

lAlDuQueTque 1lllZeltJ
Ex-Gov. L. Bradford Prince attended
the trans-Mississippi congress at Hous-
ton, Tex, and made such a favorable
impression that he was selected as one
of a special committee to visit Wash
ington and urge upon congress a liberal
appropriation for the great exposition
which will be held in st. Louis in 1908.
Mr.. Prince is one of the ablest men in
New Mexico, and one of the best friends
of the territory. He is fitted for any po-
sition, and acquits himself with credit
wherever he is placed. The Republican
party in this territory was divided over
the money question. This is settled now,
and the free silver Republicans accept
the results, and next fall will be the
most faithful workers in the territory
for Republican success.
To the loyalty Of Ex-Governor Prince
and other free silver Republicans this
happy result of unity and harmony Is
due, and he is entitled to recognition
for his faithful adherence to Republic
an principles under trying circum-
stances.
