The peasants of Bulgaria have such
a miserable lot of it in life that their
rebellion against the authorities of that
semi-independent Balkan state is not a
surprise. The only wonder is thai they
have not rebelled long before this and
made an endeavor to get rid Of the o n
ditions which keep them in virtual sla-
very and Upon the edge of starvation,
They nave no. much to lose by a rebel
lion; only their lives, and miserable
ones at that, and it may take foreign
intervention to keep King Ferdinand on
the throne. This would lead to many
complications and that general Euro
pean war, which many believe is inevi-
table, will be started by the rising of
a couple of thousand peasants in Bull
garia.

BURLINGTON ROUTE.
Chicago Special Changes Time

On and after Sunday, April 20, the
Burlington's Chicago Special for Oma-
ha, Chicago, st. Joseph and st. Louis
will leave Denver at 4 p. m. in place of
$3.50 a. m. as heretofore.
The change is made in response to o
very general demand on the part Of the
travelling public for a fast afternoon
train from Denver to the East.
The new hour of departure is better
than the old one in nan ways. 1t
means that one can now make the 1000
mile journey from Denver to Chicago
or st. Louis with the loss Of but one
business day.
1t means, too, that one can leave prac-
tically any point in eastern Colorado at
a convenient hour and arrive at Denver
in plenty of time to connect with the
Chicago Special.
OF the Chicago Special itself 1t Is I'M
necessary to say more than that 1t has
no superior anywhere. Neither in speed,
comfort nor reliability is it surpassed
by any other train on the continent.

The PrOsperity OF the Nation.

The prosperity of the nation is reflect
ed in various ways. For instance, be-
tween 1897 and 1900 European banks OF
issue gained 81, OOO, 900 in gold, while the
United States in the same time gained
1923, 900, 900. Individual deposits in av-
erage; in 1899 they We're $419 per capita.
In 1898 $24, 900, 900 was given to charity,
while in 1899 $50, 000, 900 was devoted to
that purpose. The use of luXuries in
creased at a tremendous rate along with
the advance of good times. In the
northwest states in six months of 1895
more pianos were sold than during the
previous six years. In 1897 50, 900, 000
worth of diamonds We're brought into
this country; in 1898 81, 900, 900 worth,
and in 1899 over $12, 600, 900 worth. Owing
to the larger business between the
small buyers and the retail stores, the
American people were using $11 900 ,00C
worth more of dimes, quarters and half
dollars in September, 1899, than they did
in September, 1897. For the year end
ing June 30, 1899, 1000, 900 more postal
orders were issued than in the ear 1895,
the increased amount coming to $685.
600, 900, and the average amount of or
ders had increased from 81 to $40.
Another feature that prosperity has
brought with it is the decrease of crime.
In the state of Illinois alone during the
hard times of 1895, 927 ~convicts were
sent to the p~enitentiary, while in 1899,
when the population of the state was
much larger, only SOC, or hardly more
than half, were sent. The decrease is
unquestionably due to lessened idleness.
The army of the unemployed is no long
err an army, and no longer unemployed,
and there Is in consequence less drunk
enness and less tendency to crime.
Prosperity also brings with it a feeling
of hope, and it is now easier to earn a
living than to steal it.
In the face of such figures it will be
folly on the part of the Amer
lean people to change administrations.
and with it to change the state of pros
perity to a condition of distrust, uncer-
tainty and panic.

That the Spanish-American countries
are not able to govern themselves is
shown by the example of every one of
the South and Central American gov
ernments. Brazil is an example. Under
Emperor Pedro it was the most pros
porous country in South America. Its
revenue was ample and its growth was
rapid. But now it is practically bank
rupt. Its foreign debt has risen from
$131, 900, 900 to 5000, 900, 900 since Don Pc
dro was sent home to Portugal. It's in
ternal debt is increasing so rapidly that
no one has been able to keep track of
it. It's revenue has fallen from 1922, 900, :
900 in 1890 to less than $40, 900. 900 in 1899.
A democratic government is a grand
form of government, but it is a curse
to nations which are not prepared for
it, such as the Philippines. Cuba, Brazil
and the Central American states.

sides and mesas are DOMINIC tintS of
green, when the song birds fill the air
with music and the bloom of the or
chards is all around, 10 prettier sight
presents itself on this continent than
the great fruit-growing district around
u sister city. If we could only bring
all h territory here at this time to in
hale the fragrance of the flowers and
test the h~ealthfulness of the climate, the
advertisement would be worth millions.
All along the valley are surprises for
the visitors. That such a garden spot
as this should be so far from railroad
or commercial advantages surpasses the
belief of most people, and it is neces-
sary to "show it to them to make them
believe 1t is really here. The fringe of
fruit trees and grain. and alfalfa fields
stretching from the Colorado line along
the Animas and La Plata and San Juan
valleys to the Navajo reservation is
something for sightseers to ponder over.

The TERRITORIAL PRESS.
GOOD IDEA.
albuquerque Citizen.)

Three planting for IN unusual pur-
pose has been recommended to residents
of the western irrigation districts by
w. l.. Hall, assistant superintendent of
tree planting of the division Of forestry,
who has recently been in New Mexico
on an investigation. Agriculture in that
region depends largely on irrigation,
and the streams and reservoirs are
much depleted by evaporation due to
the heat and dry winds. Mr.. Hall rec
ommends that belts of trees be planted
along every ditch and reservoir not only
to shade them, but to shelter them from
wind. The problem of preventing evap-
Grafton is very important, not only on
account of the loss of water, but be-
cause the percentage Of alkali in the
quantity remaining becomes excessive.

The German press has become pro-
British of a sudden. A hint from the
kaiser is said to have caused the mira
Gle. The emperor undoubtedly has some
Interior motive in view, but it probably
is a motive that works for peace. When
ago every one thought and expected
that he would p~recipitate a war that
might involve all of Europe. Instead, he
has developed into the European peace
that the general European war which
has been threatened yer sinc 1870 has
not broken out.

The Chinese in the Philippines.

The Chinese problem in the Philip
pines will not be SO easy of solution as
it was in the United States. AS a mat
ter of fact, the Chinese are at present
needed for the prosperity of the new
possessions. The British, the French,
the Dutch and even the Spanish have
demonstrated that without the Chinese
prosperity is out of the question in the
southern east Asiatic countries. In the
Philippines the Chfnaman is an indis-
pensable means to the economic devel-
opment of the islands. His willingness
to work in the tropical climate is in
valuable to the country, for no n else
Is willing to do manual labor under the
scorching sun and the heavy, enervat-
ing moisture of Luzon.
The French, although they hate the
Celestials. have found that the indefat-
igable Chinaman, who can thrive in a
tropical jungle and work like an insect
In the sun, is Indispensable to French
success in Indo-China.
The British alone of European and
American nations, have not recoiled at
employing the Chinese in whatever ca
pacity they possibly could. In cstab-
fishing their strategic posts in Asia the
English needed workmen. traders to
supply provisions, coolies to dig and
carry, bookkeepers to clerk and trans
late, domestics to render life possible to
the exotic colonial officer; If these were
not forthcoming their stations were
doomed to fail, for these were not To-
calitles where Europeans could settle
and undergo physical fatigue. or curse
the character of Chinese immigration
into the Philippines should be closely
watched, that the tendency to over
whelm and efface the European element
be checked in time. But otherwise the
Chinese win help to reclaim the fertile
islands, and will make the Philippines
the richest province in the east.

The territorial supreme court, which
adjourned yesterday, disposed of a
large amount of work, which included
many important cases. The opinions
handed down by the justices of the

them will be reversed by the United

put to that test.
