The Growth Of Oklahoma.

Oklahoma has shown a wonderful
growth in population and wealth since
less than ten years ago. Perhaps New
Mexico can draw inspiration and lessons
from the new territory. Five years from
the time that oklahoma was unbroken
prairie there were two cities OF 10, 900
inhabitants each. Houses were com

lighted by electricity and supplied with
good water. Large, artistic brick strnc-
lures harbored industrious school child
rem. In ten years the taxable property
in the territory has increased by $43,-
DOC, 900, according to the showing made
by the assessors, which, of course, means
that there is twice or thrice as much
property there. Yet, Oklahoma is not
nearly as large as New Mexico; it pos
sesses not the superb climate, nor has it
the immense and varied mineral wealth,
nor the many other advantages that New
Mexico possesses. The causes, there
fore, which have made Oklahoma grow
so more rapidly than New Mexico are
worth while investigating and the lesson
teach should be applied at home.

The Porto Rican Census.

The War department has issued the
third bulletin on the census of Porto
Rico which is even more interesting
than the previous bulletins, for it gives
statistics on the subjects of citizenship,
~literacy and education. The element of
foreign birth in Porto Rico. is trifiing in
number and proportion and is quite uni
formly distributed. Among the males of
voting age only 3.s per cent are Of alien
birth, 2.s per cent being Spanish. The
classification by birthplace and citizen
ship shows that the two are practically
identical. The people born in Spain or
in other countries represented on the
island have, with few exceptions, re-
tanned their alien citizenship. The
males of voting age on the island mum
Der POI ,O71 and Of these 1873, 600 are
white and the rest colored. OF the
whites Of Porto Rican birth IS, s97 and
the colored people 12,576 could read.
Under an educational qualification there
the number of those entitled to vote
would be 47,973 or IS per cent of the
native born males of voting age. With
schools and American educa.
tional methods the high percentage of
lliteracy would speedily decline. espe-

Good for Santa Fe County.

The report of the territorial grand
Jury for this county as to the excellent
state OF law and order prevailing in San
ia Fe county is very gratifying. There
were days not so long ago when it could
not be said that crime is decreasing in
Santa Fe county and that law and order
prevail, but of late years an entirely
different spirit seems to reign which is
giving the county a good name for the
enforcement of the statutes. Much
credit for this is due to the efficient ad-
ministration of justice by Judge John R.
McFie and part of it to the zeal of the
Republican county officials. 1t is to be
regretted that the praise which the grand
jury bestowed upon the county officials
can not also be conferred upon the
city officials, but it has ever
been thus that when a city, county,
state or national administration is in the
hands of the Democratic party there is
cause for regret.

The railroad companies are making
life a burden to the ticket scalpers and
considering that the penitentiary now
yawns for scalpers it is strange that any
one should engage in the business.
Eben E. Macleod, chairman of the
Western Passenger association, has just
offered a reward of $500 on behalf of the
railroads belonging to the association,
for information resulting in the convic-
ton of any person or persons fraud
ulently using stamps, dies and cipher
perforating machines for validating re-
turn portions of excursion tickets. 1t
is now pretty we'll established that the
trade in railroad tickets by others than
the company's authorized agents is
and that this has been made 80
in the interest of the travelling public,
which has been the chief sufferer from
frauds perpetuated by ticket scalpers.

The position which the United States
has attained under the present admins
tration makes a resolute policy in
diplomacy a necessity. The nation must
continue a firm insistence upon respect
for American rights and the readiness to
maintain those rights, if necessary, by
force. The struggle for the maintenance
OF free markets and equality of oppor-
tunity in the undeveloped countries also
necessitates a tactful diplomacy, firm
ness tempered by extreme discretion,
and readiness to act promptly and eff
cisntly in case of need. Such is the
diplomacy of the administration now in
power. The election of Colonel BRYAN,
with the consequent placing of Altgeld,
Sulzer and others of that stripe into the
cabinet, would be like placing q bull
into a China shop, the consequences Of
which act can easily be imagined.

Now chat the game season has opened
it is well to remember that not only the
territorial laws should be observed but
also that at the last session of congress
the preservation of game throughout the
country in some measure was placed UNI
der the control Of the department of
agriculture. One of the important pro-
visions of that act prohibits the transpor-
tation across any state line of game
killed in violation of state or territorial
laws. This applies to individuals as well
as to transportation companies and is
meant to put an end to pot hunting in
an illegal manner to supply outside mar
kets with game.

NO CONTESTS ON PATENTED CLAIMS.
An Important Ruling Of the Department o
the Interior.

A recent ruling Of the interior depart
ment in relation to mining claims has
rot attracted the attention which Off
GERS of the government think it de-
mands. The decision overturns the
practice of the last thirty years and
operates to prevent much of the mining
litigation common in new mining dis
tricts. 1t Is in effect that, when a mar
or company files on a piece of mining
land and the filing is recognized by the
government, no other man or company
has a right to run another mining
claims lines across that property. Here
tofore the practice has been to follow
a new vein, or a supposed new vein, in
to claimed or wen patented property.
The map of Cripple Creek is a tangle of
the lines of these overlapping claims.
The order of the interior department is
in the following words:
There is no authority for placing the
lines of a location within, upon or
across other claims embracing lands
which have been patented or regularly
entered under the public land laws of

Ired niggers ON the other side of the

ored niggers ON the other side of the
globe"
That is to say, Mr.. Bryan's "op-
pressed Filipinos." in the candid opin-
ion of the Democratic Chronicle, are
really not worth talking about at all.
They are nothing, as Mr.. Bryan's lead
ing Chicago. organ elegantly puts it, but
"a parcel of saddle olored niggers."
This beautiful and refined phrase &C
curately Democratic profess
sions of sympathy with the F%ilipinos. 1t
shows that all Mr.. Bryan's walls of
over alleged Tagal woes are
mere hypocritical p%retense. The Chron-
icle's admission proves what has long
been suspected. that Mr.. Bryan and his
party really care nothing whatever
about the Filipino. They merely think
him "a good-enough Morgan until after
election" They parade him as a mar
tyr, and call upon sympathetic souls to
pity his woes. Then they trot him out
as a scarecrow to alarm American
workingmen with the alleged perils of
Oriental competition But when the
votes are counted they will have no
further use for the Filipino-the sad
dle-colored nigger!"

In Maine, as in Vermont, the Repub-
lican plurality Is far beyond the aver
age of former years, and makes the
same showing of continued disapproval
of the 16 to l platform. In war times,
and also in the Greeley year, the Re-
publican pluralities were i'm the neigh
borhood Of 10000, but between 1872 and
the first nomination of Bryan the larg-
est Republican plurality was %, 1853, for
Harrison in 1888, while the average for
those years was less than 1000. The
plurality this year was more than dou-
BILE the normal average Of the Republic
an plurality In Maine. 1t must be re-
membered, too, that the test, in a ma
tional sense, was indirect, for the cleo
ton was for state officers, a legislature
and four congressman. The Republic
n made a clean sweep in all, repeat
ing their complete success of this year
in Oregon and Vermont. The plurality
in Maine is a large increase on the "a, 769

he United States, and have thereby
become the property of private individ-
uals. Lands once patented or regularly
purchased and entered are no longer a
part of the public domain, and, conse-
quently, no longer subject to location
under the mining laws"
The decision was made in the case of
the Grassy mine at Cripple Greek. It's
effect will be to forever stop the costly
practice of advertising claims, as when a
title is once passed the property is pri-
vate and cannot be again filed upon.
The records of all the courts are crowd
ed with these 'adverses," which have
furnished nearly three-fourths of all
the mining litigation. The decision will
also simplify the work Of the land Of
fees and other offices in which mining
matters are considered. for when the
lines of a new claim come to those of an
old n there they will stop.

The failure of many county officials
to proy.Ie the auditor of the territory
with copies of the county assessment
rolls for the use of the territorial board
of equalization, is to be regretted. if not
strongly condemned. The mildest con-
struction that can be put upon the
delinquencies is that the county officials
did not fully understand the law upon
the subject. New Mexico county Off
cials should strive to do their duty so
well that the old and unjust accusation
that Is still often heard about the incom-
potency of county officers in the terri

One million dollars is to be expended
in the Philippine islands for good roads.
or course, the revenue of the islands will
have to furnish all moneys spent for that
purpose, but how much better it is to ex-
pend the for purposes of that
kind than to have it slip into the pockets
Of Spanish or Tagal officials. Another
thought suggested is that If the Philip
pine islands can expend 81, ZOO, 900 for
good roads some commonwealth nearer
home should also be able to do something
for that purpose.
