Naval Prize Money.

Admiral Dewey is to be paid his share
Of the value Of the ships taken or de-
stroyed at Manila. The awarding Of
such prize money is a relic of the days
when piracy was considered not be-
meath the honor of great nations, or at
least when it was encouraged by such
nations. No nation should sanction the
practice of making naval officers and
men financially interested in the prop
erty to be secured by Mercenaries
should not be sought by governments.
In the military service men and officers
are not allowed to take loot, nor do they
get money from the government for the
value of stores and material taken from
an enemy. Yet the army produces just
as good fighters as the navy, and as
many of them in proportion. Admiral
Dewey is not a mercenary, but while he
is entitled to the money he will receive
he probably would be just a little
prouder of his achievement II he knew
that no one could ever imagine that
when he watched the sinking Of the
fleet of the enemy he could have beer
thinking Of how much there would be IN
it for him when the contest ended.

Much Ado About Little.

The president did not secure as liber-
al treatment from congress for Porto
Rico as he desired, but did the best that
he could for the people of the island,
Comparatively few who think they
would be injured by free trade from
Porto Rico and demanded Of congress
hat some protection from the imports
of the island have eve stopped to think
how little is Porto Rico, and how slight
ly the imports from that possession can
affect the interests in this country. The
demand for protection came from sugar
and tobacco producers, and not from
manufacturers. The island of Porto Ri
co has but about $50, 900 more people
than the city of St. Louis, and is about
densely populated as it Is likely to be,
for it is an old and thickly settled is
land. It's entire area is less than 1900, 900
acres. including marsh lands and
mountains, or less than one-third the
area of Chaves county, New Mexico,
and less than one-third the area of the
pasture that is asked of congress for
the 100 buffalo that a Kansas man
wishes to bring down to New Mexico.

Sailor SewaiI.

Colonel Bryan's partner in the un-
happy contest of 1896 spoke his mind
about the probable result Of the COM
ing campaign when he reached San
Francisco from a visit to his son, whom
President Mckinley sent to Honolulu
for having been wiser than his sire In
matters political. But when Sewall
reached Atlanta he stopped off to con-
sole Colonel Bryan with an assurance
that the San Francisco interviewer put
it pretty strong in quoting him as say
ing that Bryan had about as much
prospect for election as a flake of snow
has of surviving the kiss of Santa Fe
sunshine. Then Mr.. Sewall, as he jour-
neyed to Maine to look after his ships
that are now sailing away with cargoes
of freight for the Philippines and the
Hawaii islands, took a day off and Wis
tied the president to tell him that the
younger Sewall was a fine boy, and
really knew more than his father in
1896: and hereafter the daddy was to be
in accord with him in many things, be-
cause prosperity had come and there
was really no use fighting for a theory
which was demolished. Sewall is a sail
or who knows how to tack quickly. He
appears also to be a jolly old boy-who
iollies as he goes along.

The Kansas City Picnic.

One object of holding the Bryan con
vention at Kansas City is now appar-
emit. 1t is to railroad 10000 Nebraska
farmers into that city for the private
picnic hat the gentleman from Lincoln
expects to have or the Fourth of July.
for special excursion business and ex-
ira trains, they will also work for a
crowd from Kansas.
Colonel Bryan will have no objections
having no hope of carrying Kansas, the
Lincoln man will let the sunflower citi-
zens hang around and watch the Ne
braska procession go by. Nebraska, the
c%olonels own, are expected to do the
grand that day; to make such a to-do
that the wave of enthusiasm generated
will circle like the motion sent CULVER
ing over the water Of q Kansas City
street puddle when a jubilant bullfrog
peals forth from his lair.
There will be crowds of Nebraskans,
Kansans and Missourians to see the
show, largely of men who wish Bryan
nominated, but multitudes who will not
vote for him. Had Bryan arranged for
the convention to be held elsewhere he
could not have been sure of such a hur-
rah as he will get at Kansas City by
people of several adjacent states.
The scheme Is a brilliant one. Bry-
ans thrift nay lead him to exact for
himself or his party a share Of the train
money, under threat to select certain of
the rival railway lines for Democratic
patronage. But perhaps he has re.
formed since his last tour Of the county
fairs, where none who did not pay the
price could see his happy face, hear his
hopeful voice, nor shake the glad hand
that gathers in the shining shekels, gold
and silver, with equal grasp.

LEARNING THE ORES.
New Mexico Miners Solving Questions and
Improving Facilities.

While the amount Of the precious
metals that nature has stored away in
the mountains Of this territory is, in the
opinion of mining men, as great as that
possessed by any other section Of the
United States, New Mexico as a pro-
Queer stands well down toward the bot
tom of the list. True, a large part Of the
output of this territory, in both gold
and silver, has heretofore zone to the
credit Of Colorado, because the ores
had to be sent there for treatment, thus
pushing New Mexico down in the list of
producers and giving Colorado credit
for several millions to which she was
not entitled. But the main reaso for
our low rating, as we have said, Is the
fact that we have not understood our
ores. Every great mineral field on the
continent seems to have peculiarities of
its own. and New Mexico is no excep-
ton to the general rule. Men who un-
derstand the ores Of one section thor
oughly very frequently have to learn
their lesson all yer again when they
come in contact with those Of another
section. The experience Of our miners
In various sections of the territory
shows that we are surely If somewhat
slowly learning this lesson in New Mex
leo. The now fourishing camp Of CO.
chit Is an excellent illustration Of this
fact, and the vast bodies Of ore in that
camp which,, until recently, were
thought to be Of too low a grade to be
worked successfully, are now furnish
ing steady employment to many hun
dreds of men, and adding very large
sums to the aggregate annual output Of
the territory. And the same thing is
true Of several other camps in the terri
tory. We are learning now. Every year
adds to our stock of information, and
enlarges the area Of productive
field. Another very important feature
OF the situation is the fact that WI are
steadily providing the facilities for
working at home more and more Of
those pres that have heretofore had to
sent abroad for treatment. Thus we
are not only increasing u proportion
Of the general output, but are taking
the necessary steps to receive credit for
a larger proportion Of u product.-

Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1900-03-01

A southern senator who was some
what tardy in expressing his indorse-
ment of expansion heard from one of
his constituents last week, and gave the
letter to the press to show the senti-
ment of the south. Here is the manner
in which the mar of the south, wrote:
II am an expansionist, pure and sim
pie. You may not think so, but in the
south the woods are full Of them. The
south is for following the flag. Where
it is once planted, there let 1t float for
ever. is the sentiment Of our best people.
It is u flag, and, as Ben Hill of Geor-
gia said, We are in Jul fathers house,
and we intend to remain No true
American. surely no bona fide south
ron will say pull down the flag and beat
a retreat out of the Philippines"
