gELEGRAPHIC
The Tri-Centennial.

In age and position Santa Fe has
always been recognized as the
mother city of the Territory. She
has been kind and impartial in
fostering and encouraging all pub
lie enterprises without prejudice to
locality. She has looked upon her
young and blooming daughters with
unselfsh pride, ard has exhibited
that degree of liberaIity not shown
by other towns and cities. In fit
of petulancy we have said some
mean little things of the mother
city, and her proposed celebration,
but we have had our pout, and
when we calmly consider the mer-
its she deserves at The hands Of
other towns, we feel like 1--WE pre-
sume) one does after striking a
mother. The mother Santa Fe sees
all her daughters growing in beauty
and prosperity, and simply says
(while she recognizes their indepen-
dence and ability to take care of
themselve@: "Come, children, and
unite once more under the parental
roof, and bring all your friends, and
let US have good time" She would
have US all put on our best clothes
and bring our treasures together,
while she, with a mothers pride,
will show to the world that she has
not existed more than three hum
dred years in vain.
Our duty is apparent. Every city,
town, camp, or ranch, in the terri
tory, should rally to aid in the grand
enterprise, While it may benefit
Santa Fe, it will certainly benefit
the territory at large.
The Impression has gone abroad
in the land that the population Of
New Mexico is nothing more than a
lot OF wild gibbering heathens,
whose only resources consit of sage
brush and cactus. Now the only
way to disabuse their minds from
such strange delusions, is to induce
louT naughty and aesthetic brethren
to come among US and be convinced
0f their erroneous ideas. To do this
there must be a systum and q anited
faction of the whole territory. TIC
5have such action, every community
unjust abandon all their little quar-
jrels and preiudices, and all put theil
shoulders to the wheel, and devote
their entire strength for enc com
mon good.
The proposed celebration at SAINT;
Fe will induce many thousands t,
come into into cur territory VIII
would not come otherwise, ant
while here they will become inter
ested in ether parts of the TERRITORY
in proportion to theexhibition from
each locality, and before returning
will be induced to visit othe
parts of the cou1try, and many viii
invest; thousands Will return t.
their various homes to sing til
praises Of New Mexico, and thereb
give the lie to the false impression
which exist to cur prejudice. There
fore, il conclusion, we urge upol
! the PEOPLE OF New Mexico, Withou
regard to locality, the great impor
lance Of such an enterprise, an,
hope that all pickering will cease
land that all Will unite in one grea
effort to make the proposed celebra
ton grand success.-N hite Oaks

VARIOUS QUACKS.

Observation-Disclosures che Field
OF Human Nature.

There have always been quscks-leRs,
quacks, theological quacbss scientific
quRcks and medical quscks. Some o!
them are bland, oily fellows, who argue
and emile the world into believing in
their fsvorite bit of humbug. Others
are ponpous and pIetentious parasites.
But they make it pay Men seem to
love to be sWindled, STIMULATING only
that it shall be neatly done.
The dear public are equally liberal to
Che electric and magnetic fraud. This fel
low is genius in his line. He will put q
magnetic belt around your waist, mag
nellie necklace under your chin, or iii you
oat with an entire suit of magnetic
clothes, warranted to serve the purpose
OF ordinary garments, and at the same
time to cure all diseases, from whooping
cough to hasty consumption.
Most of these have no more electric or
magnetic power about them than resides
in WOODEN blankets or in girdles Of sack
cloth. Only when applied by en- expert
is electricity of the slightest use IS q
medicinal agent, and even then its value
is grossly oVerstated. Whist is the strong
est possible presumptive evidence in favor
of particular remedy?
Clearly that it should have been pre-
pared By responsible persons of acknowl-
edged skill in the treatment Of disease.

IMslNStriAl Notes,

The President of the North Chicago
Rolling Mill Company declares his
belief that the Amalgamated A>socia-
ton will acede to tn" concessions asked
by the manufacturers, and that they ,lo
not necessarily involve reduc,. ON OF
wages, as if the selling price be above
~ cents per pound it means al
advance.
A committee Of iron workers had a
conference yesterday with the proprie-
tors of the l.. G. Brooke Iron Company,
at Birdsboro, Penna., and it is believed
the difficulty will be satisfactorily adj
.justed. The Company employs in its
works and mines | 400 men.
The Potters' Association of Trenton,
New Jersey, comprising all the pottery
firms of that city, has adopted a reSo-
luton declaring that there will be no
increase of rates during the existence of
the new tariff law over the lowest
average rates of the past ten years, and
that the prices will he lower to the con-
sumer for the next five years than they
have been during any period of five
years for the past century.

The kignal Service Bureau.

II is not thought the President will
pay any attention to the charges of Rep,
resentative BeltZhoover, and will NOT
order any court OF inquiry to look into
the condition of the Signal Service
Bureau. Secretary Lincoln, knowing
thar General Hazen was anxious to tie
vindicatrd of the malicious charges,
was disposed to favor an investigation,
and it is believed e'rrcommended Presi-
dent Arthur to appoint II court of in,
quiry, hut the President probably
deems the reports not well founded and
of too trivial Il character to warrant a
formal investigation.
At least that is the inference, mas.
much AZ he has allowed several weeks
to elapse without taking any steps in
the matter, and by the time he returns
from his Florida trip the subject will
have grown so stale that it is not be-
lieved it will be recalled.

An Official VISIT.

Pursuant 10 q previous motion, the
Levy Court proceeded in body yester.
day afternoon to Third street bridge for
the purpose of making an official exam,
nation Of that structure. The bridge
was found to be in a patched, and al.
most dangerous condition for travel.
The Court then proceeded to Market
S'reer bridge. This bridge was also
found to be in deplorable condition,
the wood work in some places being 50
rotten that it could easily be knocked
of with stick. The pier has also sunk
several inches. After viewing the
bridges, the members returned to the
Court room, but no action was taken in
the matter, although several members
expressed the opinion that something
should be done with the structures, Or
an accident may occur at any time
No further business was transacted
