ERICSSON AND THE MONITOR.

He was Il man with an Unsuitable
passion 1t ruled him with such
Overmastcring power that his chief
regret at dying lay in his inability
to complete his last invention.
Twelve hours he toiled in his work
shop, and during the other twelve he
dreamed of intricate puzzles yet to be
guessed. Decorations and honors
were heaped upon him, but they were
only reminders of past successes and
the prophecy of others yet to come.
His life was consecrated to science;
he solved riddles, caught, tanned and
and harnessed physical forces, and
made such fame for himself that his
far away cOuntrvmen, whom he new
er visited, erected q granite shaft IN
his native village and inscribed on it
the simple words, John Ericsson
was born here III 1903"
But as the hero of a great crisis in
American history his name will al
WAYS have something of magic in it.
If ever day lowered with gloomy
portents that day was March 9,
1862 The Mcrrimac steamed slow
" down the James river bent on dev
astatiOn. The North was breathless
with despair, for it had no match
that it knew of for the giant. Only
100 DAYS before the keel of Ericsson's
Monitor was laid, but on this March
morning, with full armament and
a crew with hearts of oak, it lay in
wait for the adversary. To the eye
the two contestants were unequal;
the one was Il Goliath, the other a
mere ''cheeseboX on q raft. 1t
seemed utter recklessness for the
Monitor to engage with her formid
able antagonist.
But there was crash as though
two planets had come into collision.
The heavens were filled with thunder
and smoke, and when the battle was
over the unexpected victory was
flashed from the rising of the sun to
the going down thereof. Old men
gathered in clusters in every village
on the continent to wonder at the
event, and eyes unused to tears grew
dim Seldom do n people suffer such
arevulsion of feeling from profound
dependency to the highest hopeful
ness. and if miracle had been per
formed they could not have been
more surprised.-[ New York Herald.

ever else holds these persons back
from moving forward as requested,
it is not personal modesty. Is it, on
the other hand, the lack of feeling,
which influences them elsewhere, that
they have a personal interest in these
exercises, and that they must be
ready to move to the front in order
to secure their share? = Sunday

HOW 1T WORKED.

THE best evidence that the de-
unuacy had something to do in
making the Third party platform
is the fact that it even went out
farther in the direction of free trade
than did the plank in the Demo-
cratic platform. 1t not only en-
dorsed free trade but it demanded
direct Individual property taxation
That kind of a platform was
sent out by all the press reporters
while the Third party papers pub
Kished it, but when many of the
.doLegates saw what they had done
they repudiated it. But the party
stands pledged to it until the next
national convention meets and re-
pu5iistes it. The object of the Dem
,onrsts was to secure the public rec
ognimon for their own position be-
sides whenever q Third party paper
or speaker endorsed their own
platform,i 1t was at the same time an
endorsement of democratic views
BY this means many Of the Third
party men who had always beer
.avowed protectionists become free
traders because that was their plat
form. 1t was q sharp trick in thu
democracy to send their own mer
into the Third party national con
vention to help make up a platform
that would endorse their own OF
all its essentials except whisky.

FIRE..

The cry of fire was given about
one O'Clock Monday morning. The
street was soon filed with meE in
front of Magills and Tedfords BUSH
ness houses. Some one had started
a fire in the second story above
Magills store where it had burned
out the partition and the end of q
pile of lumber. The second story
is not occupied and the stairway
door was opened by some means or
other.
The fire burned slowly because

some money out of the transaction

goods were being taken out Of the

real estate owners ought to see fal

EVIDENCE that the Republicans
carried Tennessee at the late cleo
ton is accommodating. In the 10th
Congressional district which is in
West Tennessee, 200 Democratic
judges and clerks were indicted by
the grand jury for refusing to deli
yer the poll lists to county clerks
Besides they carried away to pr.
vate places the election boxes to
count the tickets. The evidence is
strong enough to convince all hon.
est men that the Republicans on
fair count carried the State by from
two to six thousand majority
Some of the Democratic papers
confess that on a question of the
supremacy of the Republican party
in Tennessee the law will not stand
in the way of the democracy in
carrying the State.

TARIFF REFORM FRAUDS.

NEWSPAPER writer's and office

accordingly. The absurdity OF the

A MUSICAL TREAT.
A Pleasant Entertainment Promised at
the Court House Tonight.

A brace of travelling musicians delight
fully entertained crowd OF people at the
Exchange hotel last evening. Their
names are Joseph Bistolti and Daniel
Polk, and the instruments they so grace
fully handle are the guitar, banjo, mando-
lin, and combination OF sweet whistles.
These they fairly made to talk. The pro-
gram last night included Schubert's Sere-
made, national medley which included
the Star Spangled Banner, st. Patrick s
Day, the Watch on the Rhein and High
land Ladies'; La Paloma, which was
rendered never so sweetly in Santa Fe
before, and had to be repeated. Dixie,
Marguerite, and popular songs of the day
were given and applauded to the echo.
The wonder is that two men can get so
much real harmony out OF these instru-
ments. Folks exhibition performance on
the banjo was also highly entertaining
In fact it was grand treat and many
musicians we're present to enjoy it. At
the request of all who were so fortunate
as to be present last night the musicians
have agreed to appear in public concert
at the court house tonight. They are
we'll worth hearing.

PLAZA IMPROVEMENT.


Whether the plaza should be sown to
blue grass or sodded down has been gen
orally discussed on the streets to-day by
many people who are puhc-spirlted
enough to desire that improvements al
ready in progress be pushed forward, A
reportorial canvass reveals that public
sentiment is by long odds in favor OF haH'
ing the grounds sodded. The county
authorities had about decided to seed the
ground to blue grass because OF the eX-
pense OF hiring teams to haul the sod,
the county being IN its chronic state OF
short funds, but several citizens suggest
that small donation from each business
man would do away with this objection
Sod is counted as far preferable
because, if properly laid, which it
will be, few waterlngs VIII
bring it out green, beautiful and inviting
almost Immediately, while if seed is soWn
this is not likely to be the case, and dust
or mud will be the result throughout the
better part of the summer. The acequla
banks and along the river east Of Marti-
nez' mill will furnish good sod, which
will cost but the hauling, and this Will re-
quire in the neighborhood OF 800. 1t
is hoped that the people, especially those
owning property adjacent to the plaza;
will designate some one to start out and
canvass the town for subscriptions to the
end that teams may lie had to haul this
sod.

Mr.. J. X. Livingston, general agent OF
the New Mexico Town company, is up
from the Mesila valley on three days
business trip. He reports everybody in
the valley hard at work on their farms,
orchards and vineyards, and many i'm
provements in hand. Fully 20 per cent
more land is being cultivated this year
than heretofore. Thousands OF fruit trees
and many acres of vineyards are being
set out. Prof. Hadley has put out 200
trees, mostly apple. Judge Woods, near
Mesilla, is putting ont many fruit trees
and large vineyard. For the latter the
grape cuttings were brought from the Isle
Of Wight, and the fruit from
them is expected to excel
in flavor anything in the grape
line yet produced on American soil.
There is no boom on in the valley, but its
growth is steady and substantial. OF late
handsome new residences have been
erected by Judge Woods, Col. Ashen-
felter, H. l.. Miles, w. H. Barrett, Chas.
Durieux The latter is a new arrival, and
by the way, he it was that invented the
"nickle-in-the-slot-scale," which has
made him and so many other people
rich.
Mr.. Livingston says that immigration
is not heavy at this time, owing, prob
ably, to the great rush toward Oklahoma,
but he thinks that the opening of the In
dian lands will induce immigration tc
look toward the southwest which ere long
will result in bringing many home seek
ers into this country by way OF the Pan
handle region.
