CLIFF DWELLINGS,.

CLIFF DWELLINGS.
Important explorations continue to be
made in the famous cliff dwellings in
the Santa Clara and Pajarito canons,
thirty miles west of Santa Fe, to which
reference is also made on page 56 of this
report. The governors report contains
an interesting description of some of
these prehistoric communal houses, the
origin of which is shrouded in mystery,
which is just now exciting them minds Of
many of the ablest scientific students
of the world, m also gives some ac-
count of the more recent discoveries.
together with several illustrations of
these curious ancient structures. Va
rious entertaining theories are also pre-
scented concerning the origin and Gus
toms of these strange people who in
habited the valleys and rocky cliffs of
New Mexico long before Columbus set
foot in the new world.
WORK OF VANDALS.
The governor calls attention to the
ruinous work of vandals and pot-hunt-
ers among these cave dwellings and
their burial grounds, and urges the gov
eminent to provide for their protection
by the establishment of a reservation
which shall include the principal mesas
and canons in which they are located,
not, however. depriving the settlers in
the adjacent country from the privilege
of grazing their flocks and herds owe
the area so reserved.
A MUSEUM.
An urgent appeal is made that the
general government reassume he care
and control of the historical residence
of the various governors general under
Spanish and Mexican rule, and known
as the "Old Palace" located at Santa
Fe, He recommends that this historic
and interesting public structure be util-
lied as a southwestern branch of the
Smithsonian Institution, and suggests
the wisdom of establishing therein a
museum made up of articles taken from
the cliff -dweller region so near at hand.

CATTLE.

Cattle inspectors report that the in
crease in the various sections of the
territory will run from so to 80 per cent
for the present year. The improvem INT
Of the grade in cattle over all previous
years is especially noticeable. There
have been sold and delivered since jan
uary 1, 1900, S6,470 head of cattle; one
and two year old steers at SIS to 500 Pc
head for ones and $1S to $27 for twos.
During the year ending June 30, 1900,
PA, 053 head, mostly steer cattle, were
sold and removed from the territory,
amounting to about "a, 900, 900, and dur
ing the same period there were brought
into the territory to remain, 13,095 head,
of which 1891 were from the republic of
Mexico. The greater portion of the
stock range is on public domain. On the
question of leasing these lands in large
bodies. it is stated the sentiment that
men are better entitled to the privilege
of making homes for themselves and
their families wherever conditions will
permit it, rather than these lands shall
be monopolized for the exclusive breed
ing of stock, seems to prevail in this
territory. The system of laws in force
regulating the live stock industry Is ex-
cellent.

Marion Crawford is the only romancer of

it has been made to seem disgraceful by
mercenary exhibitions.

ArmOr Plate Extortion.

In round numbers Secretary Long has agreed to give the Carnegle-Bethlehem combine s15. 0oo GOO for 35,OOO tons of armor plate. The Nidvale Company was induced to withdraw from the contest, and 1t prob ably receives a dividend from the new contract, but even then it is within proven facts to put the profit of the combine on this one order at $7500,0O0. It will be that much even after deducting the sum donated during the campaign to the esteemed MT. Hanna.
 The reduction in price is mere baga- tele for shows sake. The combine de- manded in a former bid $495 a ton, and they now accept $i55 a ton. These figures are not significant, because all above $2O0 a ton is profit anyway.
 Secretary Long should not be greatly blamed for keeping the government in the hands of as grasping combine as the land holds, because he is part and parcel of an administration that is upheld by combines, and that therefore must fatten and prosper them in every possible sort of way. The man who is most largely re- sponsible is Mark Hanna. His campaign fund did it. He has placed the government In the grip of the combine, and there it must stay while this administration lasts. There is no hope for independence in armor plate while Hannalsm rules the land, and t has obtained lease of power that extends to March 1, 1905.

Sanitary Trunk Sewers.

The building of two great sanitary trunk sewers in Jones Valley Is a step of deep importance to the most populous and rich est county in the State. It is of deep inn portaace to the county because it assures health and freedom from disastrous epi- denies in the chief valley of the county, Jones Valley, which consists alike of the spaces drained by Village and Valley creeks. The low hills between the two creeks renders two trunk sewers more eco- nomical than one would be, and two will afford at all points more fall and there fore better drainage.
 These trunk sewers will not only relieve this town of the difficult problem of a proper outlet for it's sewage. but they will afford also drainage and therefore health to all suburbs, with which Birmingham is inseparately bound up. The ties between the suburbs and the central town are so close and intimate that one cannot be fill ed with disease and the other remain sound. Scarlet fever, for example is as dangerous in one as in the other. All form in fact one community, and all will be in time one great municipality.
 The tax for the proposed trunk sewers can be easily borne by the county, and it will be repaid at once In higher values Every suburb should proceed to secure good water supply, and then the entire val ley will be placed on a sound sanitary footing, and when that takes place every foot of ground in the county will be bene- fited. The richest and most populous county in the State will then be the health jest, the best-drained and the most sani- taTy.

JUMPS EARLY,

From the Asheville Aegis.
 The cat jumps the hemp early. McAr- thur hastens to make a full confession, per- haps, held back until after the election. He presents the status of the Philippine war in detail and admits that the army will have to be increased to overcome Hob- sons brigands-"a large army" he says, will be necessary.
 This means that militarism is on at least for four years longer, with an increased war expense.
 Next comes the statement that our navy, which did such prodigious work in annihi- lating Spain's invincibes is too small to cope with a large power.
 These announcements come before Con- gress is in session, and are followed by an increase in trust demands.
 The people have voted for the frolic and must pay the fiddler No complaint should be made now. It is too early to do more than to soberly think-something which should not have been left undone before hand. The intrepdity of the trusts to get back what they spent for the campaign is commendable.
 Two days after the election the meat trust made an advance of l cent per pound Steel plate went up to $22 a ton. Thus We already begin to see that the Democrats told no lie during the campaign.
