It has been claimed that the st. Louis

for the distinction Of getting rid OF the
greatest amount of money-this season az

team, IL being safe to assert that mol
one OF these men draw less than $1,000.

Beckley has but two superiors in the

DESERVING Free Silver.

w. J.. Bryan has silently discarded
the silver issue. He, who professel to
believe that the nations existence de-
pended upon the free coinage Of silver
at the ratio of 16 to /; he who forced
the Democratic national convention
against its better sense to make a spe-
citic declaration for 16 to 1: he who has
been regarded as the greatest cham
pion of free silver, now turns face and
says that the silver issue is not a press
ing one, and intimates that it Is merely
secondary, if not perhaps dead. Thus
Is the sound of the Republican
party again justified. Four years ago it
tool a square stand against the silver
fallacy, and every one but the most un-
reasonable silverites to-day believes in
his heart that this nation has passed
the stage at which an inflated and de-
preciated currency can be foisted upon
1t. Four years from now the stand that
the Republican party takes to-day on
the expansion question and other new
issues will be justified as fully, and the
words of its leaders will be completely
vindicated. 1t Is the misfortune Of the
Democratic party that so frequently In
Its history 1t picked up and cham
pioned issues that were dying IL not al
ready dead. 1t is the party Of stubborn
c~ontrariness, the party of negation, the
party of dying and dead issues.

Traitors al Home.

Naturally. there will be sympathy ex-
pressed for Lieutenant Cordua, of the
Boer artillery. who has been sentenced
to death for conspiring to kidnap Lord
Roberts. In time of peace he would
have escaped with a light sentence in
Jail. but in time of war, crimes less
grave than Cordua's are punishable
with death. The armies at the front in
the Transvaal, in China and in the
Philippines deal summarily with trait
ors, spies and friends of the foe, but it
is at home where the authorities are too
lenient with those who give aid, en-
enlargement and comfort to the ma
tion's enemies. Upon them falls the
blame for the death of many a brave
soldier, and Of many a brave foe who
would have submitted to terms of peace
had he not been urged on by the kins-
folks of his c%onquerors to keep up the
strife a little longer. to wait until po-
litical conditions in the conqueror's
home had changed in order to get more
liberal terms Of peace. Were these men
at the front they would die a traitors
death, but at home, in the rear, among
the towards who fear to come out bold
ly for their unpatriotic sentiments, but
disguise them under platitudes. they
have a certain misguided following, and
are exempt from the punishment they
deserve.

A Disappointment Ahead.

New Mexico people must prepare for
a severe disappointment in the census
returns for this territory. The census
authorities at Washington, from a lack
of understanding of the difficulty of
taking the census in the southwest,
rather than from any intention to de-
prive this section Of the benefit of a
thorough census, did not make adequate
provision for taking the census in New
Mexico, Arizona and other western
states, where great distances had to be
traversed by the enumerators. At the
time the census was taken thousands of
sheepherders and cattlemen with their
families were out on the ranges, and
never saw 10 were seer by a census
enumerator. who deemed that his duty
was done when he had called repeatedly
at their homes. There was not sufficient
inducement for an enumerator to chase
miles over trackless ranges or across
steep mountains in order to find a fam
lily. One of the enumerators in Rio Ar
riba county covered 1000 miles to get
600 names. Under those conditions it
will not be astonishing that New Mex
leo will be credited with less than 2OO,-
900 inhabitants instead Of 275,000, and
with wealth only one-half of that which
really exists in the territory. 1t IS too
late to ask for a recount, but it Is to be
hoped that when the next census comes
around more thorough preparations
will be made to take it.

The Pecos Valley railroad will this
year ship 1876. 900 head of cattle from
the Pecos valley and vicinity, which,
owing to Mckinley prosperity, repre-
sent 1000, 600 more in wealth than they
would have under the last Cleveland
administration. And yet, most of the
men who benefit by this increase in the
value of cattle will vote the Democrat
ic ticket, not because they can give a
clear reason for it, but because their
fathers voted it, their neighbors voted
it, because they came from a section
where voting the Democratic ticket is
made a rae prejudice, where it has be-
come a matter of habit and sentiment
instead of reason. A little thought
would make every cattleman and cCw-
boy. every sheep owner and herder, a
strong Republican, for Democratic free
trade would mean to them the destruc-
ton of their industry, and with it idle
ness. and for most of them poverty.

CLIFF DWELLERS' PARK.
A Field Of Prehistoric Ruins That Should
Be Preserved.
(Denver Republican,

(Denver Republican,
The land department of the general
government has taken the preliminary
steps for the creation of a national park
that shall inclose the cliff dwellers'
ruins in New Mexico. Nine townships,
which would comprise a section fifty
four miles square, have been withdrawn
from entry and sale. These lands lie
Wa Il of the Rio Grande river and south
of Espanola. They are full of cliff
dwellings, and relics. and of evidences
cf all kinds which demonstrate the ex-
istence of a prehistoric civilization Of
which but little Is yet known. The rTin-
oiral work that has been done among
them. and the most of the excavations
made, have been under the direction of
President Hewett. of the normal uni
versity of New Mexico, who has map
ped the region and demonstrated Its
rare archaeological value. The work Is
prosecuted every summer, and Is car
ried on under great difficulties, it being
necessary to transport water sometimes
for thirty miles. That this vast field of
ruins should be preserved from being
despoiled by relic hunters and saved
for systematic scientific research Is a
proposition that no n will deny. The
action of the federal land department Is
therefore timely, and will meet with
the approval Of all scholars and anti
quarians. The exploration of these
ruins may lead to discoveries that will
throw new light on history and science.
and to the establishment Of the fact
that the American continent Is older
than hat of Europe. and was inhabited
by man long before the existence Of any
known civilization across the Atlantic.

The escape of the Boer general, De-
wet, after the elaborate dispositions
made to surround him, is rather humil-
iating to the British generals, and has
somewhat damaged the reputation Of
Lord Kitchener. But it is far more diff
ticult to locate and hold a small hostile
force than it is to corner a large body
of troops. as the United States has dis
covered in the Philippines. and as other
wars have demonstrated. Considering
the nature Of the country in which De-
wet operated. it is not surprising at all
that he escaped, for ever though $4,000
men were ser to surround him, it is
impossible for 100000 men to watch ev-

Of a region that overs several hundred
square miles.

Death Of the Recent Superintendent OF
Forest Reserves.

tMomence HepoFlel)
William H. Buntain, son of Banker
r. j. B%untain, of Momence, passed
away Tuesday night, August IA, 1909.
The deceased was a promising young
man 81 years of age, having been born
in Momence September Z, 1869. For a
number of years he was a student in
the Momence schools, then he took a
course of study at the Grand Prairie
seminary at Onarga, and later attended
the Bryant & Stratton business Die
in Chicago. When his father was post
master of Momence VIII was his chief
assistant, serving in that capacity for
several years. In March, 1899, he re-
ceived the appointment from President
Mckinley of superintendent of forestry
reserves for New Mexico and Arizona,
and entered upon his duties at once.
This position, which was a very exact
ing one having a number of men d
his supervision, he held in a creditable
way until failing health compelled him
to tender his resignation. AS superin-
tendent he was obliged to visit the diff
ferent portions of the reservation. and
in many cases horseback riding was the
only mean of transportation. On one
Of these trips, made in November last,
he was exposed to a severe storm. in
| which he took a hard cold, settling up
on his lungs and developing into con-
sumption. From this time he gradually
declined. and in March of the present
year he found it necessary to give up
his position and come home, where he
could have better nursing n be under
the ARE of a skilled physician. For a
time hopes of his recovery were enter
tanned, and with a steadfast determine
ton to do so he always maintained that
he would get we'll. But the disease had
too firm a hold upon him, and after a
gallant struggle, assisted by all that
loving parents and friends could do for
him, he passed to the other world, cut
down in the very beginning of the prime
of life.
He was a young man of retired dis
position, sober. steady and industri? Gus
honest and reliable. His death is a Sc
we're shock to his family and friends
who feel his loss most keenly, and in
this, their deep affiiction, they have the
sympathies of the entire community.
The funeral will take place this aft
ernoon at 2 o'clock at the M. r. church,

Another Consumption Cure.

DR.. d. J.. Kendall, of Saratoga
Springs, N. Y, declares that he has
found a very effective treatment for
consumption. He directs his patients to
drink the last quart of a cows milking,
which is commonly called the "strip-
pings" before it has lost any of it's nat
ural heat. He asserts that when so ia
ken the liquid passes directly into the
circulation without being subject to the
ordinary process of digestion. Accord
ing to the physician, the "~stripp'ngs'
consist mostly of cream, and thus the
consumptive receives food that RAPIDLY
builds up the wasted constitution.
