A sign of prevailing prosperity is the
fact that 1914 postmasters had their
salaries raised, beginning with July l.
AS postmaster's salaries are adjusted
by a fixed rule and depend entirely on
the receipts at their respective offices,
it will be seen that the business at all
including New Mexico %postoffices. In
1894 only 694 salaries We're increased,
while FOL postmasters at the same time
had their salaries decreased. This year
only III postmasters had their salaries
reduced. This year the net gain in sal
aries to postmasters is s213, 800, while in
1894 the net loss to postmasters owing
to decrease in postal receipts vas 1900.

The Convjcts Will Like This,

Every once in awhile an absurdity i IN
the practice of treating criminals i; pro-
posed by well-meaning people. In the
Massachusetts state reformatory, for
instance, a method of managing Grim
inals Is to be adopted that will make
the reformatOry a little heaven for evil
doors, in which by and by half of the
population of Massachusetts will want
to be housed. If an inmate of that in
stitution refuses to work he is to be
shown politely to a certain cell, which,
instead of being dark, is brilliantly
lighted from sunrise to sunset through
a glass ceiling painted white and ex-
posed to the open air. This will keep
him awake all day, and disposes him
to move about. He is to be fed the rich
est and the most stimulating soups and
a large variety of easily and quickly
digestible concentrated foods. His blood
will be enriched, his brain cleared and
strengthened, and he will become ac-

him. His keepers will explain that his
treatment Is designed to give him the
rest which his refusal to work would
indicate that he needs. Upon signify
ing his willingness to return to work he
will be politely urged to take a little
more rest and incidentally will be given
to understand that his associates are
dispensing with his society very cheer
fully. The prisoners restlessness then
will become extreme, and he will beg |
to be allowed to work as a relief to his |
limbs In five days more he
will return to his work, subdued in
mind, refreshed and invigorated in body
and at peace with all the world.
How nice this sounds on paper, but
when it to putting it in practice
the results achieved, it seems certain,
will be quite different from what they
ire anticipated to be.

In Kansas City a young man was
fined $500 for annoying several factory
girls with his attentions. There are
some men shallow enough to believe
that a woman needs but to see them
and she will be filled with admiration
for them. To that class belongs the pro-
fessional masher, who is a blot and a
to any community. He becomes
more Intensely odious when he reaches
an age where he can no longer excuse
himself on the ground of youthful folly.
The calloW dudes, who stand around at
the street corners and ogle girls and
women as they PASS by are objects of
just contempt, but they are not as de-
testible as their mature and robust ex-
emplars, whose smirks and grimaces
are actually nauseating.

Thomas Adams, of Phoenix, through
the Globe-Democrat, makes a sugges-
ton to millionaires hat is worthy of
being needed. He said that "if a few of
the millionaires in the United States
would club together and build a home
for consumptives it would better the
world a great deal more than the estab-
lishment of libraries. The climate in
New Mexico and Arizona is right for
the cure of that disease. There is no
place for the poor invalid to 60. If
some one should establish a sanitarium
and build up a reservation for con-
sumptives on the cottage plan, thou
sands of persons would be benefited. To
Arizona 1000 sick people come annually,
and the larger per cent of them is bene-
fitted or cured"

A man named David Blocl

A man named David Block, of st.
Louis, who celebrated his s~eventy-sec-
ond birthday anniversary the other day,
divided his fortune among his children
and reserved sufficient for his own
needs. 1t is strange that this sensible
way of avoiding will contests and dodg-
ing inheritance taxes is not adopted
more generally. There is no chance of
the miscarriage of the donors inten-
lions. 1t is impossible for family bick-
ering or jealousy to end in the dissipa-
ton of such a gift on court costs and
lawyers fees. The father puts his gift
in his children's hands, and lives to see
their enjoyment of it. The idea is a
commendable one, at least, as far as
wealthy people are concerned, although
members of the bar will hardly en-
courage 1t.

Tornadoes and cyclones are the bane
of Kansas, Nebraska and Texas. This
year these windy phenomena are cut
ting new antics which are making them
more Objectionable than ever. A lorna

after razing a part of the town, acted
as if it had forgotten something. and
turned back over the same path it had
traversed and put the finishing touches
to the ruins it had created. 1t is a Won

A prominent mining man of the Co

works at the river, prepared to do us
ore down the canon that district could
put out 500 tons of workable ore q day
for 100 years. That sounds like a very
extravagant statement, but those who
have seen the great number of nor

declare that the district is fully equal

Seattle Assay 0flee Booms.

The arrival OF the treasure ship
Roanoke and other steamers from the
gold fields OF the North caused a scene
OF great activity at the United States
assay Office Yesterday. Employees
were busily engaged from early morn
ing until dark receiving from returned
miners, banks and steamship COM
panies large boxes, bags and pouches
of yellow dust. Nhen the Office
closed for the night $2.500,OOO had
been weighed in, breaking all previous
records,
When The gold is received at the of
fee it is carefully weigiIed and re-
ceipt issued for the amount. AS soon
as possible it is carefully refined, and
the value thus found credited against
the receipt issued. This amount then
stands to the order of the depositor,
and can be obtained by him at any
time, on demand
The heaviest single deposit made
during the day was that of the Cana
dian Bank of Commerce, Which
weighed in S1,500.OO0. Dexter Hor-
ton COMPANY, for the Bank of British
North American, deposited $500, 600,
and the North America Transporta-
ton Company received receipts for
$500 600 worth OF dust.
During the past eighteen days The
Office has received 81, JOG. 900, against
sc, ,394 900 for last month. This month
therefore, as veil as yesterday, bids
fair to be a record breaker, as last
month was the heaviest in the history
of the office, and there yet remain ten
days OF August.
During the year 1898, the first year
that the assay Office was open for bus
mess, about Sc. SOC, 900, was received.
Last year the receipts we're $13, ,50O,-
O00, or almost double. This year the
receipts have been much heavier

Supremacy of Iron and Steel

Casual reference to the "lron age"
takes The average reader in imagina-
tion back somewhere to the time when
our forefathers first chanced to hit up-
on iron for the making of rude tools
and first began to do business at the
forge, after the manner of Tubal Cam.
But the fact is that This is the real
"iron age," or better. the "steel age"
and with regard to that, the United
States is easily the king of the age.
Some German authorities have re-
Gently been compiling table that
shows the steel production during
1899 of the principal steel-producing
countries, and it ought to crafty any
b5dy with even a wee drop of Ameri-
can blood in his veins to know that
the United States produced, accord
ing TO the table, nearly Ten and three
quarter million tons, distancing Ger
many by about four and one-half tons,
and Great Britain by not very far from
six million tons. We did this, too, in
spite of the fact that a great many of
the steel and iron ships that do our
ocean business are built in the ship
yards of Great Britain and Germany,
and foreigners own them. Even the
American line is booked to build an
other great ocean racer III Great Brit
ain, and the Red Star line is ordering
more ships from the same source-all
30 do our business with. We do not
consider that We are quite entitled to
all the earth. but it really looks as If
we we're entitled to build the ships in
which our own goods are taken abroad
and in which the foreign goods for
which we pay our money are brought
to this country.
We exec, every other nation In max
| ing steel, and we would beat them in
making steel ships with but half a
good chance. When will we have the
chance?

Wall Paper Trust Dead.

Wall paper is one OF the articles
protected ny the tariff. All foreign
made wall paper pays duty, on impor-
tatioua, OF 50 per cent. According to
the Bryanite theory, here is a typical
case for "trust extortion." What
could be easier than for the manufact-
useTs to combine intoa trust, and, pro-
tscted by 50 per cent duty on foreign
papers. put up prices here and make
big money?
Well, that is exactly what they
started out to do. They organized
the wall paper trust, and tried to put
up prices But independent manu-
facturers, protected by the tariff. went
quickly INTO the business, and they
have smashed the trust. The direct
ors OF the latter, few days ago, met
dissolved the trust. and every member
OF it viii now go 1t alone.
Meanwhile Great Britain has free
trade She imposes no duty on wall
paper which is imported. But her
wall paper manufacturers organized a
trust long ago, which still exists, IN a
most tlourishing condition. It is pay
ing high dividends. And the Eagllsh
people are paying higher prices for
wall paper than we Americans are to-
day.
The above facts are extremely inter
esting. They don't agree with the
Bryanite theory that the tariff fosters
trusts. And when a theory don't
agree with observed facts, all. sensible
men understood that the theory is
wrong How does it come that the
British wall paper trust is fiourishing
and paying big dividends, under free
trade? Does not that show that trusts
are not dependant upon a tariff?

Our Interests in imperialism.

The Republican national campaign
committee has already discovered that
among the mass of the voters through
out the country no interest whatever is
taken in the matter of so-called "im-
perialism," which Mr. Bryan and his
managers are sedulously attempting to
make not only the paramount but the
sole issue in the campaign. No one
wants any literature on the subject,
and the people in general care as little
to have the matter discussed as they
Go at this time about the free coinage
of silver.
While this may be the condition of

where the democrats are making the
most strenuous efforts to force their
anti-imperialistic issue to the front, it
is not the case out in this section OF

talk about Imperialism will frighten
them into support OF the Democratic
