Taylor and the GoebeI Tragedy

From the Louisville Courier-Journai)
Until Taylor shall have been tried and con
victed or acquitted the Goebel tragedy will re-
MAR a rcproach to the States OF Kentucky and
Indiana alike. The hanging of hundred minor
conspirators will be vindication of the out
ragged law SO long as the who is charged
with being the master spirit OF the murderous
plot bids defiance to justice and is protected in
his defiance by Governor Mount in violation Of
the Federal Constitution
1t is characteristic of Taylor's impotence that
he should offer to return to Kentucky for trial
provided he may be allowed to prescribe the con
ditioEs of the tiial-including six Republican and
six Democratic iurymen, judge satisfactory to
himself. and other specifications as insolent as
they unlawful. The really appears to
believe that he nay lay down conditions to jus.
tce regardless Of the laws OF the State and the
rules of the courts.

From the Peoria Herald Transcript)
1t was the impossibiiity o: maintaining the
principles of 4 protective tariff and at the same
time following the American methods Of absorb
ing rev territory that gave rise to imperialism.
This made it necessary to violate the Consttu-
ton and the whole policy was adopted in the in
tercsts of the trusts. Thus it will be seen how
intimately the paramount issues OF the campaign
blended. In fact, there is but one issue. The
trusts is that issue, and all the other issues, i'm
perialism. inilitarism, and the rest, only the
consequences OF the determination Of the Admin
istraton to foster aid protect the big monopolies
at whatever cost and by whatever means that may
become ncccesarY.

Importance of the Coming Consfitu.

Leonard Wood. Governor General Of

on the President yesterday morning. He

| jr, a son of Senator Butler, of North
| Carolina, and an officer of the Seventh
United States Cavalry: Luther T. Hovey,
| Acting Assistant Surgeon, and Senior Casa
nova editor Of two Havana newspapers.
| General Wood is here making arrange
| ments to take his family to Havana and
will remain but few days. as he desires
| to attend the opening Of the Cuban consti-
| tutional convention
! In speaking Of conditions in Cuba Gen
eral Wood said at the War Department
| that there was a brilliant future for the
| island. Everything Is again flouriShir5,'
said he, land agricultural. commercial,

vanced. There are 10000 children at

gar crop will reach 100000 tons and to-
gether with the tobacco and other impor-
tant products can be valued at about $780,

low fever epidemic. 1t is not as large as
last year. but the difference is tina. the
number of cases were kept secret last De-
cember while now the figures are open to
the public. Havana's yellow fever record
last December and January was the larg.
est in ten years. but it was concealed Tbs
immigration OF non-immunes into Havana
is largely responsible for the present vel.
low fever outbreak, but considering that
there are 900, 900 people in Havana and only
about 100 sick daily in the hospitals the
sick rate is not so very large"
Referring to the projects for improving
Havana General Wood said that the paw
ing contract would be given to the lowest
bidder.
I'VE are going to protect Havana
against any fake concern though" he ex-
planned. whoever takes the contract
will have to deposit in cash as guaran-
tee of ability to perform the work per
cent of the total contract price. The de-
post should amount to 100000 and I
shall not approve any contract unless this
is deposited.

that Cuba IS just the place for young
men with small capital. Cattle raising.
sugar and tobacco plantations are paying

From tie ST Louis KePubhc)
The effect of the dominance Of a. party owned
and controlled by the trusts las been disastrous
in the commercial industrial, and political life
Of this country. 1t has destroyed that competi-
ton which is declared to be the life Of trade. 1t
has placed the producing and consuming masses
at the mercy of privileged caste of monopolists.
1t has taken from the Young men of America all
reasonable hope OF business independence. 1t has

to devote much time or thought to the
ideals. The average American inclines
somewhat to the view of the old farmer
| who cares less for art than for comfort
In his house building, and spends more
money on his barn than on his home. There
is a certain justice In this farmers atti-
tude, though it has often been ridiculed
and condemned. The barn is his workshop,
and one does rot expect the owner of
factory to live in house as large and
expensive as the factory with all its con-
tents. So the farmer knows that IL his
farm is to pay he must have large.
warm building for his cattle. and a place
to store his hay; he must have improved
machinery and good horses and fine cows;
but there is not quite the same necessity
for large, modern. finely furnished house
for himself and his family. The one is an
investment; tho other is outlay without
return except in personal comfort and
satisfaction. So long as that farmer sees
that his family are comfortable, and not
deprived of education or a reasonable
amount OF recreation. one cannot blame
him il he refuses to subscribe to all the
modern fashions. He rightly believes that
comfort and independence are worth every
thing, and often sees that he cannot hope
to give his family money and land enough
to make them comfortable. without sacri-
ficing some of the luxuries which the city
man has without extra expense. His
utilitarianism may not be, pretty; but 1t is
honest and logical.
But the one thing which is not to be
tolerated is utilitarianism mixed with
cheap estheticism. If We are to have beau
tiful public buildings. let them be solidly
built and well taken care Of; and il we
are to have public statues let them be
good ones, and let sufficient sum be as
sured to preserve them from decay.

In a country like this, founded Democratic
ideas. governed on constitutional rules, there can
be no issues worth a cfndle's feeble fame com
pared with those which involve the nations sense
of right and wrorg and which strike deep into
the principles which lie at the base OF all demo
cratic Institutions. To rc-elect Mr.. Mckinley
will mean moral apl.hy. His triumph also will
mark popular approval of all the assaults that
have been openly made upon vital principles,
without which the whole world would still be
crawling under the blight Of monarchical abso-
lutisn.

While the title OF the inaugural play
for the Lafayette Square Stock Company
last evening might indicate concealment.
there was none of it in the cordiality of

ton. Admiration was open and evident,

Fifty years ago congress wrestled with
the problem as to what kind of govern
ment to give California and New Mex
leo. There were anti-eXpansionists in
those DAYS who rather would have seen
the Union divided than to see it add
new dominion that did not believe in
slavery. 1t was in those days that
Texas claimed half of New Mexico and
that giants like Webster. Calhoun, Clay
and Benton in the senate fought over
the question of expansion with or with
out slavery, a fight that ended in a COM
promise that merely put of but did
not avert the civil war. Fortunately,
today with a Republican president, a
Republican congress, with the majority
of citizens on their side, there can and
will be no compromise and there is no
danger of a civil var resulting over the
question of governing the new possess
! sion of the United States, although an
insurrection in the Philippines has been
prolonged by the encouragement given
it by the anti-expansionists.

New Mexico's Mineral Wealth.

If there were a possibility of placing
into marketable shape in one day all of
the mineral wealth, known and un-
known, in New Mexico, the sum total
would probably be greater than all the
mineral wealth in the world at present
in commercial shape. 1t would be suf-
fcient to buy all the wealth of the world
and would suffice for all its demands for
many years to come, although all other
sources of mineral wealth were de-
stroyed. Fortunately for New Mexico,
this securing all the mineral in the ter
ritory in n day is impossible. But,
nevertheless, these great riches exist, it
needs but work to bring them forth.
They will support and enrich thousands
of people for many generations and still
not be exhausted. 1t is this fact which
will help to make New Mexico a great
state, a treasure house of the world.

The Things Needful.

Arizona has been doing a great deal
of boasting about the Salt River valley,
the permanency of its wealth and the
homes it will some day give to a million
people. But now comes a drouth and
the wealth of the Salt River valley shriv-
els before the sun, its settlers leave it
for a climate perhaps less salubrious,
but where rain comes %oftener. The Salt
River valley is simply a Lesson to other
parts of the arid region, that ever with
local irrigation works, with mine de-
velopment, with cattle raising. no per-
petual growth a come. These indus
tries all have their limit, q drouth, a
money panic will wipe them out and re-
turn the country to its original desert
form. The only hope of the arid west
is in general, not merely local irrigation
works, that save every drop of flood
water; in establishing factories and mills;
In %conquering those conditions which
make everything dependent upon a
shower or the amount of snow In the
mountains, upon a hailstorm or the COM
ing Of some insect pest. More railroads,
diversified industries, more irrigation
works, are the crying need of the arid
west and which will some day make 1t
great and populous. Without them the
arid states will be merely Nevadas with
rich mines, extensive ranges, but with
out the backbone that makes the great
agricultural, the industrial and the com
mercial states of the east and the mid
die west.

The incidents of summer weather like
hail storms and cloud bursts occur In
New Mexico, too, although not as fire.
quently as in Kansas. Nebraska or
Texas. The first reports of the damage
caused by them are generally mislead-
ing, for at the end of the year crops are
just as bountiful as if those weather
vagaries had not occurred. Within
small areas a hail storm may kill a few
sheep or fowl, but as a general him
the damage done is exaggerated In the
accounts sent out from the afflicted dis
trict. Despite an occasional hail or
windstorm the climate of New Mexico
is unsurpassed, not only for health
seekers, but for the raising of crops, OF
fruits and of stock.

Democratic papers, even in this terri
tory, are bowling because the Dingley
tariff did not save the wheat crop in the
northwest. Such asininity Is to be gulp-
ed by the stalwart Democrats who are
expected to vote for Colonel Bryan this
fall as argument against Republican
principles. 1t is due to Republican pros
perity, however, that the crop failures
in the northwest do not cause a nation
al panic and calamity as they did In the
Cleveland administration. Thanks to
the prosperous condition Of the country
under the present administration, the
crop failures will not be felt very Sc
verely, ever in the districts where they
occurred. for the farmers receive good
prices for the crops they have saved,
and can find paying employment In the
cities and towns Of their own states.
That crop failure argument Is a good
one-but for the Republicans.

ROAD TO CLIFTON,

albuquerque Journal emocrat.)
1t seems to be fully determined that
the proposed line Of road from Magda-
lena to Clifton is to be built, and the ar
rangements are being made to COM
work on the enterprise as soon
as possible.
Clifton is on the eastern border of
Arizona, only a few miles from the New
Mexico line, and directly west of the
southern extremity of the Mogollon
range. It Is a famous copper town, and
all the country in that vicinity for a
radius Of more than 100 miles Is rich in
mineral of nearly every kind.
The proposed road will skirt the base
of the Mogollons for a long distance,
thus furnishing a good outlet for that
section, which is now entirely destitute
Of railway connection with the rest of
the world, and its merchandise going In
and bullion coming out must all be
transported by wagons for nearly a
hundred miles over a very difficult road.
The new line will be of inestimable adj
vantage to that portion of New Mexico,
as we'll as to the n%eighboring districts
of Arizona, and will give the whole Sec
ton such a boom as it has never had
before.
AS a "feeder" to the business of Albu-
querque the new line from Magdalena
to Clifton will be OF great value, be-
cause it will put the merchants of this
CITY into direct communication with the
people Of a very large portion of u
own territory, and an equally extensive
district in Arizona, who are now COM
pletely isolated from the world except
by wagon communication.
This will be the nearest market for.
the people Of that section, and as the
line is to be built under Santa Fe aus
pices, freight and passengers will be
carried through to all points from Albu-
aueruue to Clifton without change or
delay.
The proposed line will open a new and
extensive field to the business Of this
city, and one which the business men OF
the place will find as rich and desirable
as any that exists within the limits of
the vast trade area tributary to Albu-
querque.
