even full only one ONE hundredth OF Uile
dirt will have been disposed of. The
American steam shovel is far superior to
the French machine, and will dig the
canal. 1t scoops up five tons of earth
at once, and two scoops full fill a car.
and eighteen to twenty of these machines
are in use at present, and 100 in all will
be used, or as many as can be placed in
the cut The work is to be let by con-
tract soon.
The Panama railway is the original
monopoly, and until purchased by the
United States government carried on
high handed robbery. A planter was
charged as much to carry his crop ten
miles by rail as it cost him to ship it
1000 by water. Now there is fair play.
The lock canal will cost only half as
much and take half as much time to
construct as sea level canal, and will
avoid the difficulty with the twenty

best type. 1t will be completed, for the
American people want it, and they never
wanted anything that they did not get.
1t will be completed in spite of charges
OF gross mismanagement that have been
flung about. The commission and the
engineers seem to be capable men and
honest, and proud and anxious to COM
plete the work. The country should be
loyal to those working under the flag in
Panama the same as they have always
been loyal to the army and navy. The
flag has never yet stood for anything
that was not just. When the canal is
completed it will not only gain for the
United States the trade of the South
American countries but of the orient as
well, bringing the eastern seaboard 1900
miles nearer to it than Europe is by
way of the Suez canal.
Mr.. Mcdowell favored congress pass
ing ship subsidy bill, to restore the
American merchant marine to the seas
and thus enlarge the trade of the coun-
try. The Spanish war showed the mill
tary necessity for the canal when the
Oregon had to 60 around South Amer
lea.
The Panamans are good eaters but
poor workers. Beef sells by the strip
at so much yard, and eggs sell at
ten cents pair. Fowls are small. Pan
anna hats are made in South America
and cannot be bought in Panama as
cheaplv as in the United States. The
lecturer told of the customs of the peo-
pie. The United States has caused sew

prevent the ruin of the country.

lions about fish houses were being fol-
lowed He found six houses on Madison
lake and six on Eagle lake, and order
ed them off, as no fish houses are per-
mitted on those lakes this winter. Sew.
eral of the owners of the Madison lake
houses had licenses but Mr.. Jordan

Ballentyne, one on Duck lake and not
any on Lake Washington. 1t is per-

The recent action Of the Bisbee

the prospectors all over Arizona, and
they are getting busy to do something
in their own behalf Last night IN

large number of prospectcrs In this

nassad resolutions similar to those Ok

Petitions are being circulated in all

NEW MEXICO KNOCKING
AT THE DosR.

AS an argument for the admission
OF New Mexico as state. Governor
Curry points out that it has a popula-
ton Of 100000, with public debt Of
only $4,000, and immense mineral
and agricultural resources whose de
yelopment will make it one Of the
most populous states of the west BY
comparison the census shows that in
1900 Wyoming had only 1881 popu'
lation; Nevada but 42.S35; Montana
only 243,629; North Dakota, 319,146;
Utah but 27s.749; Idaho had 161,772;
Delaware only 1S4,7s5 and Vermont
343,64i. While it is not likely that
congress will consent to the admis
sion of a new state on the eve of a
presidential election, statehood can
not much longer be refused New Mex

PROSPERITY TO
THE FRONT AGAIN.

The loosening grip Of the money
squeeze is seen in upward reaction
in the prices of cotton and wheat no
less than in the announcement by
Secretary Cortelyou Of the treasury
department that allotments of the
per cent certificates will not bs~ex-
tended further than those already
made.
Restored confidence in the safety of
bank deposits is manifested in the
small withdrawals from the trust com
panies made by savings depositors
who had given their thirty-day no
tees.
The furry is passing more quickly
than it came, for everybody now
knows that only a few recIxlessly
managed banks were caught by the
sensational declines in Wall street
securities.
The truth is that sagacious bankers
and most of the men at the head
OF the banks of this country are pru-
dent and sagaeious-w ere never
fooled by the imitation which accom-
panied the getrich-quick prosperity
which was at its height four or five
years ago.
Collapse of these fictitious values
was foreseen from the beginning, and
the banks In few instances loaned
money on them at anything like their
nominal value The squeezing out Of
water which has been in progress for
more than year was discounted long
ago.
The last few weeks mark only a
pause In the normal advance Of Amer

SAYS ARIZONA SHOULD
PUSH THE FIGHT.

PUSH THE FIGHT.
The following is an editorial which
appeared IN the Ell Paso Herald Of
last Saturday;
There is no reason under the sun
why Arizona should hold back from
making her statehood eight. It is
7a.s.s,1- Nerr Mexiee win have the
preference on grounds Of larger pop
uIation and older territorial entity.
But one thing sure. Arizona will not
get statehood until she makes her de-
mand stick. and the more noise she
makes and the more persistent her
campaigning. the sooner statehood
win come.
New Mexico and Arizona will be
able to work together now to prevent
forced marriage New Mexico new
err did want joint statehood. but there
was time when some New Mexicans
thought they did. Now that is all
past and gone, and there is no New
Mexican who would be satisfied with
jointure.
Arizona deserves statehood. and It
would be mighty good politics on the
part OF the national republicans il
they should admit the state. for Ari-
zona is competitive territory with the
republicans strong and growing
stronger The democrats, on the 9th
er hand would probably regard Ari-
zona as orsetting New Mexico. and
would desire that both territories be
admitted at the same time to pre-
serve the balance in congress.
From a political standpoint. both
parties win probably look upon the
admission of the two new states as
preserving the balance Of power in
the presidential election. If President
Roosevelt should actiyel urge the ad-
mission of the two states, it would be
done, this winter. But it is not be-
lieved that the president win take a
very active part in the fight for state
hood, however much quiet encourage
ment and incidental assistance he
may give. The president does not yet
see the political necessity OF admit
ting the two new states at once under
republican administration, and very
strangely enough, the elemental argu-
ments of common honesty, national
honor, and constructive statesman
ship, all demanding the immediate adj
mission Of New Mexico and Arizona
to statehood. do not seem to have
crowded out Of the presidents mind
the prejudices that come from looking
at the west through eastern spec
tacles.
@For a generation the United States
has allowed its national honor to re-
main clouded by a broken promise,
deliberate denial of the rights of
citizenship. solemnly promised and
guaranteed by treaty to the people
who live in the territory acquired
from Mexico. 1t is the great privilege
Of Theodore Roosevelt and the nation
al republican party in this year of
grace, to remove this stain on the ma
tons honor, and there is no reason,
excuse, or pretext that can justify
any longer the denial to 1000 Amer.

AN EARLY On =
LATE CONVENTION?

The proposal to hold the democrat
ic national convention next year in
advance OF the republican gathering,
is in many ways attractive. In adj
vancing It the democratic national
committeeman who have been visiting
Chairman Taggart at French Lick
Springs are emineptly correct in the
view that the democratic party will
make great fight for the presidency
and viii not wait upon republican in
itiative.
The democratic party will make its
own national platform without refer
ence to what the republicans may say
in theirs. There is reason why it
would be better If it we're made in
advance Of the republican declaration.
The democracy knows its own mind
and will express it strongly for the
Jenersonian principle of equal rights
for all. special privileges for none.
1t viii declare war upon the special
privileges enjoyed by law-created
trusts and monopolies which bear op-
pressively upon the people.
The democratic platform will con
tain no word but hostility TO the rob
berries of the Dingley tariff. It win
declare for just and rational revi-
sion of the tariff which shall reduce
the overgrown treasury surplus and
curb the Dingley monopIies without
in any way harming american indus
tries.
The democratic party. IN the coming
campaign WIN resist with all It's might
the encroachments Of federal power
upon the rights and powers of the
states. II win wage war upon the re-
publican tendencies OF President
Roosevelt TO usurp judicial and iegis-
lative powerE IN addition 70 his prop
e. executive authority.
The democratic party VIII insist
that the president support not only

of New York, recuperates from the mental and
physical wear and tear of a strenuous social sea
son. When the notable leader of society in two
hemispheres wants a few days of real rest, she
doesn't go to a spa or even to some quiet country
retreat. She goes aboard ship.
Mrs. Drexel only recently arrived from Eng
land and, after a brief autumn whirl at the eoun.
try houses. suburban horse and dog shows and the
like. left on one of the big ocean liners in the
very face of the grand opera season and the New

The rolling deep has become a popular rest

alone at sea. immune from the ennui of society.
