Bugs Cause Fire AInrm.

Trenton, May "A cloud of bugs was
responsible for the calling ont of the
Trenton fire department. The bugs were
gathered around the steeple of the
Fourth Presbyterian church in such mum,
bers and at such a distance from the
ground that a passerby mistook them for
smoke and sent in an alarm. When the
fire department arrived on the scene,
Chief Allen, with the aid of a fieldglass,
discovered the mistake, and the fire com
panies returned to their houses.

be so conducted to secure success.
There should be truthful statements,
time given for investigation, prices
made commensurate with value, and
constant recognition of the fact that in
these things honesty is not only the
best but the only policy. OF course,
there are always timid and distrustful
souls who fear to pay $19 for a $40 gold
piece, but, apart from these, there are
plenty of eastern people who want pro-
fitable investment for their surplus
money, and who have nerve and intel
ligence enough to buy what will yield
such return if it's worth can be satisfac-
torily shown to them.
When such statements as the above
appear editorially in the Mining and
Scientific Press, the usual result is a
host of replies from eastern readers,
which, summed up, are about like this:
such valuable mining property as You
say, why don't some of your wealthy
residents take such good things them
selves; why should eastern capital be
sought?" implying that western resi-
dents take the good things and want to
unload the refuse on the unknowing
alien. The answer in short meter is
that the area and extent of such posi-
BILE investment with profit exceed the
financial ability of any limited class.
Thousands of men resident in 1.-THE west
half of America" have grown rich in
mining, and invested their surplus in
other mining projects; but We're their
number Increased a thousand fold, and
their investments correspondingly aug
mented, the area of probable profit-pro-
ducing mining Investments would not
be materially curtailed in scope or ex-
tent.

Not a Matter Of Sentiment.

European nations are not buying
from the United States because they
love this nation. Nor are they borrow
ing our surplus capital in order to show
their appreciation Of us. In fact, it is
a painful process to them. 1t hurts
their pride, and envy and jealousy are
the only sentiments that enter in the
transaction on the buyers part. The
European nations are eating our bread
stuffs, purchasing our wares and bor-
rowing our money because it is to their
own interest to do so. This is as true
of Great Britain as it is of Germany,
France or Russia.
1t is the American protective system
that has built up manufacturers so that
now they can compete with the world.
Free traders argued that without free
trade the United States will forever be
crowded out of the foreign markets.
Their theory seemed plausible, but the
actual facts have d%isproved it. The
United States is great because of the
Republican party and its principles,
chief among which is protection to
home industry.

The New Mexican agrees with the CT
tizen that economy should be the
watchword of the 34th Legislative as

judging by the endorsements and the

The People Have Spoken.

Just what kind of a talk Governor
Otero is going to make to the president
remains to be heard. But there are
other talks to be made, the data for
which is being jotted down.-Las Vegas
Optic.
Governor Otero need make no talk to
the president. The voters of the terri
tory have done that for him. Am in
creased majority for the Republican
delegate to congress, three-fourths ma
jority in the legislative council and
five-sixths majority in the house of rep
resentatives of the 34th legislative as
sembly speaks pretty well for him. In
addition the following planks in the Re-
publican platform adopted at Socorro
on the 18th of March. 1900, and at Santa
Fe on the 4th of October, 1900, will do
some loud talking:
At Santa Fe: We most cordially en-
dorse and approve the able and success
full administration of Governor Otero
| of his territory: an administration not
| only giving great satisfaction to our
people, but one that has brought this
| territory into more favorable notice and
prominence abroad than any territorial
| administration the territory has aver
had"
At Socorro: THE wisdom Of our pres
ident has again been shown in the Sc
lection which he made in Miguel A,

New Mexico. No choice could have

tidence and in whose public-spirited
action and fealty to them, the people
are proud. and whose record as a public
official is such as to reflect credit upon
the power which placed him in the ex-
| olted position which he now occupies
Hence the Las Vegas daily Pop. sheet
need no worry about Governor Otero
or the Republican administration or the
Republican party in the territory. The
past four years seem to indicate that
the Republican party, the territorial
administration and the governor are
fully able to take care of themselves.

The Democrats throughout the terri
tory must have made a special and con-
certed onslaught on the county COM
m~issionshirs, for they managed to get
one member. if not more, in over half
of the counties. In Socorro county, for
instance, they secured all three MEM
bers of the board of county commits
sionrs; in Lincoln county they elected
two members, in Santa Fee, Taos and
bona Ana they have one member. The
Republicans however made similar in
roads on the board of county commits
sioners in Democratic counties, for in
Grant county they elected two mem
beers, in Guadalupe and in Sierra one
member. 1t seems therefore that with
the exception of a few counties, both
parties will be represented ON the coun-
ty governing boards.

profit, the times seem propitious for
'.eetting together" One obstacle to
such mutual gain is the i'll will and dis
trust that arise from ignorance of the
facts. There is considerable ancient
prejudice still existing east of the hun
dreth meridian regarding mining, which
is still considered a game of chance in
stead of one of skill. Eastern people do
lot realize that in no other branh of
industry has there been such advance
as in the mining industry in the last
ten years. Improved n economical
mining and metallurgical methods have
made possible profit where formerly ex-
listing facts precluded successful work
ing. 1t is to be said that in many cases
sad experience has deferred further in
vestment. But We're that to count, no.
body would do anything in the line of
business. Lack of knowledge n alb
sense of ordinary business Judgment are
fatal to success in any commercial pur-
suit, and mining is now made just as
legitimate a form Of business as any
thing else. Rightly managed, with due
attention to business requirements, any
business should prove reasonably prof.
| table, the advantage in the mining bus
mess being that the customer seeks the
producer; the demand is constantly
commensurate with the supply; the de-
structive competition existing in other
lines is notably absent, and many of
the veXatious problems attendant up
on other forms of commercial activity
do not arise. There is plenty of capt.
tai awaiting profitable investment in
the east for honest, legitimate mining,
but none for boom deals or wildcat
schemes. How to induce the profitable
