this country from hesvy balance
against us, in the markets of the

Or two crops, the others make up the

The recent period Of speculation
may have resulted in placing bal
ance against the United states in the

it is not large enough to prevent its

Europe may call this debtor nation
but debtor whose credit is gilt edge
and whose assets far outnumber his
liabilities, has little reason to fear.
Were the American people to cur
tail their purchases in. /. Europe. the
balance would soon be changed to
the other side of the account, for
Europe could not to an equivalent
degree curtall its purchases in the
United States. What Americans buy
in Europe consists in large degree
of luxuries. What Europe buys in
this country is made up chiefly of
the necessaries of life, which Europe
cannot do without.-Ex.

The representation of the govern
ment at the irrigation congress in
Ogden is surprising large. The sec
retary Of agriculture has sent to the
congress some Of his strongest ard
keenest assistants. 1t developes that
information was received in Wash
ington that some of the big land and
development companies of the arid
regions hoped to use the irrigation
congress to get an endorsement OF
legislation in their interest. The
agricultural department is bitterly
opposed to the operations OF com
psnies which seek to secure control
Of lands along we'll known water
courses, where 1t is considered prob
able that the government will have
to run its irrigation projects
The irrigation operations as now
planned are to be paid for out of the
receipts from the sales of public
lands in the different states. The
government looks at these operations
much in the same light as it views
the Homestead laws in their opera
tions, It is not the desire OF the
government that there should pc
created big irrigation districts, in
which single company steps in to
secure absolute control. On the
contrary, the government wishes to
create innumerable small farme,
which, through irrigation, will be
brought to the highest degree Of
successful cultivation.
The representatives of the agri
cultural department will not mix in
the politics" of the irrigation con
gress, but they will be there, and will
lend moral aid to see that TO false
project is indorsed. Each OF the de
psrtment experts hes been invited to
make speech. Each will impress
the members of the congress with
the idea that successful national
management of the irrigation oper
ations depends upon popularity for
the system. Popularity will come
FROM the greatest benefit to the greM-
est number. Ex.

Settlement Of Railroad Taxes

The district court at Pueblo last
week issued an injunction against
the counties of Pueblo, Otero, Bent
and Prowers to prevent them from
collecting more taxes from the Santa
Fe for the year 1901 than the amount
equal to the average increase on the
other property of the counties. This
makes the amount for Prowers coun
ty $21 ,43O, and it will probably be
paid this week.
This is probably the best settle
ment that could be made under any
conditions and an immediate settle.
mont will be of great advantage to
the county and school districts, as
practically all of the money is al
ready out in warrants and drawing
6 per cent interest, which can now
be paid. All funds of the county
and school districts will be greatly
helped by this settlement, and sll
officials are pleased at the result.
The amount is considerably less
than the amount which WAS assessed
against the railroad, but it is also
$1,000 more than the Santa Fe Off
cials offered as basis for settlement.
The injunction will make the treas
urer and his bondsmen safe in &C.
cepting the payment of the taxes,
and it is understood the Santa Fe
will offer no objections to the COM
promise basis of settlement.
County Treasurer Reynolds has
devoted large amount of his time
and work for the past year to the
question of effecting the best settle
ment possible of this question and he
is deserving of tho greatest praise
for the adjustment that has been
made.
The following statement will show
the amount of valuations and the
taxes due the county funds and

ucsults of an Unusual Investigation
by Professor I.rm6rOsO.
Professor Cesarc Lombroso, the ltaii
ian scientist skilled in detecting traces
Of abnormality, explains in the North
American Review the imperfections OF
the left handed.
People who are more agile with the
left than with the right hand are most
nuf.ierous among women, children,
sayages and criminals" The percent
age is about per cent among men
Operatives and soldiers), 8 to 8 per
cent among women and about the
same among lunatics.
But among criminals Professor Mar
70 found 10 per cent Of the men and ~
per cent of the women left handed.
Swindlers offered greater percentage.
no less than 80, and murderers and
ravishers only from 8 to 10 per cent.
Professor Lombroso also discusses
the far more complex subject Of left
sidedness." Certain people are more
sensitive upon the left side than upon
the right. This condition has no con-
nection with left handedness and is
highest in lunatics, Al per cent.
Parrots are left handed, and so are
lions. Rollet found in twenty-seven
monkeys the left shoulder heavier than
the right.
Women, children and primitive races
make gestures and simple movements
from right to left. This Is why wom-
EN- button their garments in different
direction from men and why early
languages, like the Arabic, are writ
ten from right to left. Very old chro-
nomcters were wound from right to
left, not from left to right, as ut pres
ent.
However, Professor LOmbrosO hedges
by saying: Zone can without difficulty
| find among good men real left handed
ness, as among the greatest evildoers
| there are some who have not that char
acteristic. do not dream ut all Of say
ing that all left handed people are wick
ed, but that left handedness, united to
many other traits, may contribute to
form one Of the worst characters
among the human species"
