Governor Versus Editor.

Governor Thomas and Editor Patter-
son have reached the parting of the
ways, all because the governor has
openly announced his desire to be SEN
ator, a position for which the editor of
the News has been in training for a
quarter of a century, and for the pur-
pose of attaining which he has manipu-
lated the Democratic end of politics for
a long time. He has made governors
and formed combinations which carried
the state for Bryan. But now that the
party thinks itself strong enough to
stand alone without too costly conces-
sions to the Populists, the former law
partner of the astute political manager
of the minority party of the state rises
up and says that if the Democrats elect
the next legislature he will seek the
senatorship, which the News editor has
so long considered as his own whenever
he could foreclose. No ooner was this
assertion made than the editorial col
umns of the great daily turned loose
upon the ambitious governor to show
hat he has connubiated with corpora
tons that control the city of Denver.
And the governor comes back with a
three-column letter to the press, in
which he focuses his old ally of men,
dacity and a great many other things.
To Republicans who have seen their
party divided, but who are 10Y getting
together and deserving the Democratic
leaders whom they Joined with upon the
silver question, this quarrel in high
places is edifying. 1t can be safely as
serted that the governor will lever be
senator from Colorado, and it is about
as sure that his antagonist will not
achieve the honor, for the reason that
by the time it shall be necessary to
choose one to succeed Senator Wolcott
the Republicans will be thoroughly
united. Senator Wolcott expresses will
ingness to stand aside If his party finds
a more available man, so there will be
no Republican split. The last election
in Colorado showed that the rank and
file of the Republican party no longer
followed the lead of the Democrats, and
the silver Republican party was with
out a surviving organization.

The Catflemen Who Make Money.

The high price of some kinds Of cattle
at this time is due to the great shortage
in first-class beeves. The animals that
bring the good prices are high-grade
stock-stock containing often a large
proportion Of Hereford, Shorthorn or
other blood. AS the common cattle are
only bringing a fair price, the breeding
of that kind of stock will not be stimu-
lated. The cattlemen Of New Mexico
have for several years been preparing
to have only the sort of cattle that
bring good prices. Particularly in the
southern portion Of the territory cattle
owners have bought many car loads Of
Hereford bulls in the past few years,
and more in the last year than ever be-
fore. The grading up Of herds has al
ready gone far enough in many in
stances to bring added revenue to the
wners. The situation is one of hope to
every progressive breeder. Every man
that has now a good foundation Of
high grades is certain to make money
for years to come, for he has in his
hands the means of helping to supply
the high-priced market. There will be
increase of this kind Of stock from year
to year. but it will be to some extent
Offset by the constant and rapid in
of population. 1t Is thus certain
that for a number Of years the present
will continue in the market.

ANGORA GOATS,
They Furnish Fur Robes and Monkey
Skin" Mufs,

All over the territory, here and there,
are growing up quite profitable herds
of Angora goats. Several parties in
Sierra county have shipped in punches
of animals from Texas. 1t is said that
there are 100, 900 high-grade Angoras
and as many more of a lower grade in
the United States. The Onderdonk goat
ranch at Lamy has 5000 of the animals.
The fleece of the Angora brings from rs
to S5 cents per pound. 1t is largely used
in upholstering Pullman and passenger
coaches. The present consumption of
mohair in the United States is 2,000, 900
pounds per annum; Of this amount,
there is imported annually 1880, 900
pounds, leaving the supply from home a
little less than half of the total con-
sumption.
The Angora goat skin is now used al
so as a fur robe. There is no domestic
animal that can supply this great de-
mand of the human family better than
the Angora goat, inasmuch as the skins

growth it can hardly be distinguished
from the Astrakhan, If dyed black; or
it can be taken at an earlier period of
growth and be made to represent the
polar or black bear, according to the
character of the dye used.
Nearly all the buggy robes that are
now sold as wild animal fur are moth
ing more than goat skins dyed, and So
called real monkey skin muffs and
cloaks only straight-haired goat skins
dyed black. One of the most profitable
uses that the Angora goat skin Is put
to is in making trimming. which COM

Sense In the South.

Senator McLaurin of South Carolina
broke the ice for his confreres from
the south by making a speech in the
senate in which he declared hat the
of this country are to be pro-
NOTED by expansion, and urging hat
the matter should be considered from a
view of existing conditions rather than
from a line of political sentimentalism.
Such a mode of discussing the question
he declared is an evasion, for the issue
is not one of politics. Speaking of the
south, Senator McLaurin said that the
southern people have determined to in
vestigate and study this question, rath-
er than to be led blindly by political
anti-expansionists. The southern farm
ers, by the increased price received for
raw cotton last year, have become
aroused. Fealty to party and mislead-
ing information have produced among
them opposition to territorial expan-
sion. The frightful ghost of imperialism
has been held up before the people of
the south to brighten them, but it is i'm
possible much longer thus to mislead
them.

Government for Philippines.

Prof. Schurman, who vas sent to the
Philippine islands at the head of a COM
mission to determine the sort of gov
eminent best adapted to the needs of
the people, has made a public statement
that a form outlined by the Filipinos
has been, recommended by the commits
sion, which will Don make it's report.
This government is practically the same
as intended by President Jefferson for
the Louisiana purchase. The recon-
mendation has been accepted by the
president, and the second commission
just appointed is to go to the islands
and put the recommendation into effect.
The constitution drawn up by Agui-
naldo's prime minister in 1898 will be
published alongside of the constitution
adopted by the commission, so that it
may be seen that the two are identical,
with only slight elaboration in the
American form. This constitution also
agrees with the requests that leading
FilipinOs have been making of the Unit
ed States. The government is having
Is, 900 copies of the documents printed,
so that the Filipinos and Americans
may see that the islands will receive
what was desired.
Professor Schurman says that after a
careful study Of the island tribes he be-
came convinced hat the plan of Great
Britain-signing peace pacts with the
individual chiefs of the tribes-was the
most satisfactory one. The results up
held his opinion, for in the southern row
of islands where this policy was fol-
lowed not a gun had been fired, and the
American flag had been held an honored
emblem. This policy "a not adopted
in regard to the middle islands. which
are inhabited by the Visayan tribe, the
largest in the group of islands, because
of the fact that there are no native
rulers with whom to deal. The people,
however, are ready for American gov
eminent.

Emperor William wrote a play which
was produced last week at a theater, a
friend of the emperor being credited
with the authorship. 1t was such a
rank production that the German audi
ence Kissed and the emperor left the
house before the curtain went down. Of
course, the critics ignored the fact that
the play vas by the emperor, and roast
ed 1t, having no fear of the law Of lese
majesty when the author did not ac-
knowledge the production. An emperor
may rule the people with an iron hand,
but he cannot make them applaud or
admire a rank theatrical production.
There is certainly no royal road to dra-
matte success.
