BUSINESS, NOT POLITICS.

Some of the platforms of Farmers alli- not been distinguished for solidity and good sense But the Farmers alliance in Vir- ginia has plans which are entitled to re- spect and support. In every city, town and village they will select 8 certain mer- chant, or merchants, and by uniting their patronage on him or them they hope, by the increase of trade, to get their goods at very low price or small commission. In the tobacco counties, in order to reduce warehouse and commission charges on weighing and selling tobaccos, the alliances contemplate renting or erecting ware houses, since the public and private ware houses which they now patronize have declined to .accede to the terms pro- posed to them some time ago, and they will be operated under the direction of board of directors of the alliances in these sections. They also propose forming some scheme whereby they can reduce the commissions on all farm products, and thereby effect a saving to the individual farmer Another scheme that will be tried, and which promises great saving, is in the district and precinct alliances buying guanos and fertilizers of all kinds by the wholesale, having them shipped to some convenient point, and distributing it to the individual farmers at wholesale prices.
 The Virginia alliances do not appear to be especially concerned with politics. They have an eye to business, which is much more sensibles and likely to prove more satisfactory.

 The experience of France with sub sidies for the encouragement of shipbuild ing is instructive. While Sin 1881 the French mercantile marine had 9S iron or steel ships built in France prior to that year, with a total tonnage of 96, ,21S tons, in 1887 there were 121 home built vessels of the same class with total tonnage of 167, ,037. In 1881 the subsidies paid were $393, ,316 and in 1887 they amounted to $1, ,163, 716. These facts are fully con- firmed by the report of the British consul general at Harvre, who say that 'swhile in 1879 France had only 599 steamers Gnclud- ing those foreign builD of 235, $50 tons, the number had increased in 1888 to 1915 of 509, ,000 tons." The British consul says that ''the people in England are very apt to confound the two classes of bounties, and to conclude that because those given on the construction of ships have not produced much effect, therefore the others have likewise proved failure" France has paid bonnties to foreign built ships, and so ship building at home has not advanced as rapidly as it otherwise would, and the British consul says that the French have concluded that the weak point in their law is the payment of bounties to foreign built ships and the new law will provide for subsidies only to ships built in France.
 This country can learn a very useful and profitable lesson from this. The bills now before congress dealing with this matter are ill the right line.

A writer in the Country Gentleman, dwelling especially upon the preparation of milk for the manufacture of cheese, calls attention to the process of aeration, and urges that all dairymen should adopt it, whether they produce milk for cheese or butter or for shipment to market. It is held that the practice of chilling new milk with ice simply cheeks fermentation and putrefaction for the time being, only to be intensified, when the milk becomes warm again. By the process of aeration the gases and odors produced by and from the COW, as well as the favors of plants and weeds in the pastures are eliminated from the milk. By aeration the milk is virtually cured and rid of germs of fer mentation. The New York dairy commits sioner says that milk can be sent farther and will be in better state for use, when well aerated down to the. temperature of the atmosphere than when chilled and sent on ice.
 s There are in the whole United Kingdom $500 miles of inland navigation, of which about 1000 miles are on open rivers leaving something like 9 800 miles of canals, properly speaking. The greater part of these are in England 2,50O miles in fact-of which 1 ,500 miles are in the con trol of private companies and 1000 miles are controlled by railways. In Scotland there are only 150 miles of canals, and not much more than this in Ireland. The $50 miles of open river navigation in England include 137 miles on the Thames, no miles on the three small rivers entering at Var mouth, the Yare, the Waveney and the Bure, and 43 miles on the Severn. The Trent, the Mersey, Weaver and other Eng fish rivers go to make up the odd 200 miles of open navigation, most of which, how ever, is connected with more or less of canal traffic. The cost of these canals has been nearly or quite $50,O0 mile.

 There is nothing new under the sun. The slot machine, which has recently had such run in catch-penny schemes, was known and used by the Egyptians centuries before the opening of the Christian era. Hero of Alexandria, who lived 200 years before the time of Christ, describes one used for the dispensation of holy water. A coin of five drachme dropped into slot in vase opened a valve which permitted few drops of the purifying liquid to escape. Now that special session of the Illinois legislature has submitted constitutional amendment to popular vote making pro vision for the employment of the lake front site for the Columbian exposition, it | is discovered that the location cannot pos sibly be used. To fill in enough of the lake to make ample space will necessitate the destruction of the harbor of refuge con- structed by the federal government at great expense and the only place for ships to put in out of reach of storms on the immediate coast; and besides it is found that the title to the new-made land would go to the Hi. nois Central railroad company, in case its pending claim to possession of the lake front should be decided favorably by the United States supreme court, and the com pany will not agree to pay the cost of fill ing in should it win.

We earnestly insist that the question OF
statehood for New Mexico is not aud
ought not to be an issue OF partisan po-
litIcal character. And we deeply regret
us unpatriotic and unstatesmentlike the
effort, by the representatives of the DEM
ocratic party, recently assembled in con-
vention at Silver City, to bring this ques-
ton, which rises above all political fac
tons, down to fight between the two
parties.
We indorse and approve the territorial
administration of Gov. Prince as clean,
wise and able, eminently satisfactory to
the people of New Mexico ct home and
adding to the credit and estimation of the
territory abroad, and we point with great
satisfaction to the decrease In the ex-
peuses of the territory and the reduction
OF the public debt under Republican Of
| ficials.
Resolved, That we refer with pride to
the economical manner in which the
courts Of the territory are conducted by
Republican judges, the cost per annum
being about $6O,U00, while under the ad-
ministraton of Democratic judges it cost
the people 100000 for the same period,
or nearly three times as much.
We favor universal education and q
complete and adequate system of free
pubic schools for the entire territory and
state of New Mexico, and insist that ample
means shall be produced by taxation for
their support for period OF not less than
SIX months in the year, and We further
favor the comforting upon the voters of
each school district the right to impose
additional taxes for such district for such
purposes, and we urge the election of
members to the legislature who will favor
such measures.
We denounce and condemn in the most
unqualified terms the slanderous charge
OF the Democracy that the native people
of this territory are mentally ard morally
disqualified for self government; on which
ground that party bases its chief objection
to the constitution.
We favor the protection OF laborers and

NEED OF REPUBLICAN SUCCESS,

In view of the "black eye" which the
territory has received, in the estimation of
the rest of the country, through our re-
lection OF the constitution, it is more than
ever necessary for Republicans to be
united, harmonious and active, in order
to gain majority for the party of prog
ress at the coming election. The verdict
OF the territory upon the constitution is
regarded by the public as an evidence OF
our want of progress, and if, on top OF
that We cast our votes in favor of the
party Of retrogression, there will be no
longer a doubt in the public mind as to
where we stand, and the world will con-
clude that we must either be educated or
put on a reservation.
The expression of the Democratic press
during the constitution campaign will be
cited in evidence of this position. There
is not Democratic paper in the territory
that did not declare itself in favor of the
Perkins school bill, thus declaring to the
world that we are unable or unwilling to
educate ourselves, and asking congress to
undertake to do the work for us. In view
of this fact, what reason have the Demo-
Gratis of New Mexico to complain Of the
Stewart bill? 1t is the natural and legiti-
mate answer to their arguments against
statehood, and in favor of congressional
interference in our domestic affairs. We
have said to the country through the
columns of the Democratic newspapers
of the territory, and by our own votes
