The Pope and the Philippines.

The pope and Archbishop Chappella
had an important conference at Rome
relative to the Philippines. If any on
is a friend of the poor, misguided Fill
pinos it is the Roman Catholic churc1
and its prelates. If they knew OF
thought hat the Filipinos could make
a success of a republic of their own,
these prelates would say so, for they
owe allegiance to no one, and especially
not to- a s~o-called Protestant nation
like the United States. And yet, the
pope says hat he does not believe TIE
United States will abandon the Phil
ippines. Abandonment by America
would be a grave loss to Christian civil
lization," he said. The pope added thai
if America should ever give up the Phil
ippines it would be obligatory on him
to take measures for the cession of the
Philippines to some other Christian
power. These words from an %unpreju-
diced source, again point out that the
United States has an unselfish missio1
in the Philippines aside from a CONNER
cial and military one, and that this ma
ton would be remiss in it's duty if it
We're to abandon the Philippines after
driving out Spain, the only responsible
authority that ever existed on the is
lands.

New Mexico Census Returns.

The announcement of the population
of New Mexico cities and towns caused
no surprise, for it had been expected
that the population given would be far
below the estimated figures. Judging
by the census returns, the leading New
Mexico towns are in the same class as
eastern villages and small towns never
heard of outside of their own counties.
Rut those census figures tell nothing of
the size and the Importance of Albu .
querque, of Las Vegas, of Santa Fe.
and of the other towns which are cen
ters of large and prosperous districts.
Albuquerque ifs apparently the leader,
with 623S inhabitants, or about as many
as Santa Fe had ten years ago. Santa
Fe is second, with 5603 people, or only
about 500 inhabitants behind Albuquer-
que, a difference so small that the es-
Establishment Of a beet sugar factory OF
any other like. industry in this city
would wipe out the lead that the Duke
City has on Santa Fe. East Las Vegas
comes third, with 1852 people, being
closely pushed for third place by Ra.
ton, with 3540 inhabitants. Las Vegas,
however, should be counted with Eas,.
Las Vegas. and with it reaches a pop.
ulation Of 5000 people. Gallup is fifth,
with 2946 inhabitants, but it probabig
has 1000, counting in the outlying coal
camps. Silver City is sixth, with 2i35
people, and Roswell seventh, with 20JG
inhabitants. Socorro seems to have
dropped below the 1000 mark. and Las
Cruces, not being incorporated, is not
counted in the class with incorporated
towns and cities. 1t will take another
ten years of waiting and working be
fore New Mexico towns and cities will
make a better showing from a census
point of view, but unless all indications
fail they will astonish the country by
their rapid growth, not only in wealth
and business, but in population as well.

COUNTY MARBLE QUARRIES.
They are Situated on Lone Mountains,
Three Miles From White Oaks.


l.. w. Smith, of FL Paso, is interest
ed in the marble quarries of Lincoln
county around White Oaks, and has
been making a personal inspection of
them recently, with a view of making
use of them commercially. The quar-
ries are located about three mics
northwest of the town of White Oaks.
and about eight miles from the railroad
line. They are on what is known as
Lone mountain, and are quite eXten-
sive and of a superior quality. The sup
ply includes cream and gray building
stone of the highest order. Owing to the
long distance of the White Oaks coun-
try from the outside world little use
has been made of the stone, but that
it is good for any building purpose is
believed, and where n of the stone
has been used around White Oaks Ii
has given satisfaction and endured.
Specimens of it are on exhibit at the
chamber of inner in this city. and
it was here that Mr.. Smith first saw
the marble and stone, and was i'm
pressed by it so much that he %investi-
gated further. Black and white marble
will both be wanted on the new Ma
sonic temple, and the White Oaks hopes
to get their product used. If they sue
coed it will be a fine advertisement for
them.

Tho Rock island Extension,

The Railway Age, which discounts ali
sensational railroad projects, says of
the proposed Chicago, Rock Island X
Pacific railroad extension into New
Mexico: Chicago, Rock Island & Mex
leo is the significant title under which
has been incorporated a company foo
the extension of the Chicago, Rock Is
LAND & Pacific system from Liberal.
Kan, southWesterly through the Pau-
handle of Oklahoma, the northwest cor
ner of Texas and northeastern New
Mexico, to a connection with the E.
Paso & Northeastern railway from Ell
Paso on the Mexican border. About 400
miles of railroad are to be built, the re-
naming 144 being already covered by
the Ell Paso & Northeastern, which the
Rock Island company has purchased.
Within a year trains will be running on
this important extension. which will
make the Rock Island about one-ha.f
of a very direct line from Chicago t.
Mexico and southern California, ami
will introduce another interesting ele-
ment of competition to those regions"
There can be no reasonable doubt at
present but that this proposed extern
sion will be built, and with it the pro.
posed Santa Fe, Albuquerque & Pacific
railroad.

A Foolish Proposition.

The Democrats and anti-imperialists
in congress insist on the United Stats
a~bolishing the war revenue altogether.
Their plan is to starve the government
into abandoning American sovereignty
over the Philippines. The theory is
that when the administration finds it,
self short in funds to carry on the paci-
flcation of the Philippines, rather than
borrow money, it would abandon them.
So a great cutlery is made for the re
duction of the internal revenue taxes
by a sum vastly in excess of the recon-
m~endations of the secretary of the
treasury, for the avowed purpose of
cutting down the governments income
to the barest living expenses and COM
pelling the looping off of war expenses.
But the Republican majority in con.
gress will eve allow the administra-
ton to be without funds to MAINTAIN
the sovereignty of the United States in
the new possessions which are no "
United States territory, and must be
maintained as such at all costs and
hazards.

Politics Not a Road TO Wealth.

One need but be ordinarily observant
ton as far as gaining wealth is con-
cerned. The men who grow rich in and
from politics are very, very few. There
are some rich men in politics, but they
made their money in other occupations,
and politics does not add to their
wealth; rather subtracts from it. Take
n instance, ex-Gov. James E. Camp
bell, of Ohio, for a time one of the most
successful Democratic politicians of the
country, and spoken of as a candidate
for the presidency. Soon after the ex-
piration of his term as governor OF
Ohio, he came to New York and opened
a law office. He had lost money in pol
tiles, and had lost most of his Law
practice. He has not been successful IN
New York, and several times undertook
to promote industrial enterprises in
connection with his law business. Some
time g he had a long attack of i'll
ness, his business was ruined, and he
has since been in straitened circum-
stances. A close personal friend says
that the former governor has at times
been reduced to the necessity of walk
ing up and down town to and from his
office to save car fare. He has no X
pensive habits, and has lived in a mos.
economical fashion in a brave struggle
to make a new start in life. His friends
say he has been accomplishing, and
few of his associates have known of his
financial difficulties.
The case OF Campbell recalls to for
mer residents of Ohio the hard luck
that has followed some other formor
governors and prominent politicians OF
that state. Charles Foster, who was
governor. and afterward secretary Of
the treasury, some time ago met with
business reverses that left him in re.
duced circumstances.
Former Governor Bishop of Ohio, VINO
was inc as prominent in the politics
of the state as Foster or Campbell, also
suffered the loss of his fortune, and aft.

Colonel Bryan's Paper.

Col. William j. Bryan will start q
fish name of The Commoner." Such
was the thrilling news that went flash
ing over the wires last Saturday. The
administration is quaking in it's boots
by this time, for what else could q pa
per owned and published by Mr.. Bryan
mean but a vigorous onslaught upon
President Mckinley and his advisers"
THE Commoner" is sure to spread ter
in power. 1t is bound to have as mucl.
influence upon national affairs as has Il
certain weekly started by the outs no.
far from Santa Fe not SO long ago, o.,
the man in the moon. There is a faint
suspicion that Mr.. Bryan had Il tip
from the Rev. Mr.. Sheldon. He expects
that curiosity and the wide advertising
he will receive free of cost will bring
him a nice income. He is probably cor
rect in his anticipation, for every de-
luded follower of Democracy will wan.
to take a look at and lay his hands up
on a paper owned and published by tn
sage of Lincoln, Neb. Interest, how
ever, will wane after a while, for Mr..
Bryan will find it a difficult matter to
get out as interesting a weekly as al
most any other publisher does, but Mr..
Bryan is a shrewd man. and when lie
sees that he has made his harvest h
will waste no time on the stubbles, but
viii close his print shop and run foc

GOLD AND SILVER PRODUCTION.
New Mexico Is Not Fairly Treated by Off
cial Figures.

The director of the mint at Washing
ton gives the gold production of New
Mexico during 1899 as 1854, 100, and the
silver production at 1901, $50. These Jig
ures, however, are an injustice to New
Mexico, for the gold and silver ore
mined in New Mexico treated outside Of
the state is credited to the states ic
which the smelter reduction works
Where the ore is treated are located
Colorado is credited with $25, $50, 100 of
gold and $751; 97 TAO silver production,
and leads all the states in both rc-
spects.
The figures for the whole country are
81, 1853, 400 for gold and $32, S5S, 700 for
silver at it's average commercial value
during the year.
The gold product was the creates IL
the history of the country, exceeding
that of 1898 by IS, $50. 400, and greater by
SO ,053, 400 than the estimated product Of
1852, the record year in the working of
the California placers. The princilal
gains in 1899 over 1898 We're: Alaska,
50. 1874, 700, due to the Cape Nome dis
trict; Colorado. 2 ,7S7, 800: Utah, 81, 49,
400.
The worlds production of gold in 1899
was of the value of $306. JS4, 900, an in
crease Of $40, 1876. 800 over tHe yield ot
1898. The principal gains were Sc. $50, 400
in the United States: 81, ass, GOO Ii! Can
ada (mainly in Klondike), and Aus,ra-
liza $14, $50, 800. The most important loss
was in Africa, which fell about 81 500 .0Dt
below the output of 1898 as a result Of
the war in the Transvaal. The war
broke out in September, and mining op.
erations in the field We're almost sus-
pended.
But for the interruption in the Trans
wall the worlds production for the year
would doubtless nave been $25, 000. 900
greater. The Klondike output for 1899
was about SIG, 000, 900.
The silver product Of the uaited
States in 1899 was slightly greater than
in 1898, being 50, 764, 900 ounces, against
54, 43S, 900 ounces The average price for
silver during the year, in London quota
tons, was go cents per ounce, as COM
pared with SO cents in 1898.
The worlds production of silver in
1899 was 1877. 224. 243 fine ounces, against
165, 295,5 72 fine ounces in 1898.
Mexico leads, and Mexico and the
United States produce t~wo-thirds OF the
silver yield of the world. The world's
industrial consumption of gold is estl-
mated at $72. 65S, 500, and of silver $24,-
595, 600.

This year h copper mines along
Lake Superior paid dividends amount
ing to $9,795, 900, and the Montana cop
to $l3, 5S5, 900. There is evidently money
in copper mines, even in low-grade
propositions such as most of the Lake
Superior and Montana mines are, as
long as there is plenty of ore there.
Watch out for similar dividend statis-
ties from the copper mines at San Pc
