1t needs no proof to assume that every
thing which contributes to the prosperity of
a city is beneficial and should be favored
and fostered by all honorable means, if a
solid, rapid and healthy growth is expected
or desired.
There are natural circumstances which
directly tend to build up and expand town
or city; as the great highways for commerce
by ocean, lake or river: also being i'm
planted In the midst of an almost boundless
fertility. Beside these may be cited the ad-
vantages of being peopled with active. en-
terprlsing citizens, quick to devise liberal
things, but also possessing the nerve and
energy TO execute their plans Note. for
example, the city of Chicago in which all
these advantages appear conspicuously
What a phenomenal growth she has had
and how persistently she strives to avail
herself of every scheme that gives promise
OF enhancing her greatness! But Chicago
has learned-other cities have learned-and
we are rapidly mastering the lesson, that
success in any enterprise aiming to secure
important advantages depends largely upon
the measure OF publicity given to it. That
great city on the lake from her very infancy
has been straining her powers of utterance
" pfOCidlm 10 the worlQ nef superiority IN
location, in the wealth of the vast prairies
by which she is almost surrounded in short,
In every thing that strengthens and expands,
and to-day she revels in a very ecstacy Of de-
light because the grand privilege of holding
a Worlds Fair i'll the uear future has been
ofhclally conferred upon her; and this
triumphant JOY arises from the per-
suaslon that such publicity will materially
enhance her prosperity. 1t is also true of
every business enterprise, however small,
tnat lts success much depends on the pub
LEFTY 1t enjoys. This explains why some
men IN every community have found it i'm
meHsely profitable to acquire BUSINESS noto-
rIety by Judicious and liberal system of ad-
vertlsing through the columns of a we'll
conducted and widely-circulated newspaper;
also that the more skilliuily and constantly
this is done, the quicker, surer and more
salts. actory are the results.
illustrations of this are striking and
abundant in the city of Pittsburg, as in all
the great centers of trade the world over. SO
that even the growth of cities is often
affected by such means-they and the ad-
vantages Ihey offer must be made known to
win appreciation and WELD drawing in
auence. Our own beloved city, SO long

POISONED BY CANNED GOODS.
Tire Cause Of Much Sorrow After Wedding
Feast Was Over,

A wholesale poisoning case at wedding
near Monongahela City, at which 40 persons
were made severely i'll by the effects of
canned fruits kept the doctors of that section
very busy during the fore part Of this week,
and there are still cases that demand the
physicians care. VIC. Berryhill and Miss
Margery McCarroll were married Monday
night at the residence of the brides father,
and after the ceremony there was big sup
per, at which bountiiul supply of canned
fruits were eaten.
As result the guests after their return
home became very sick, and the two physi-
clans in the neighborhood were kept in busy
attendance. They pronounced it poisoning.
All will recover. Some of the fruit will be
analyzed by competent chemists.

'But in justice to the experts of the Pitts
burg Testing Laboratory it should be borne
in mind that only two samples or water
were submitted to them, and in drawing
conclusions as to the purity or impurity of
our river water from an analysis OF these
samples, they simply exercised that pro-
verbal caution which analysists of their de-
served fame should do. Moreover, they
present the analysis of the water in tabu-
lated form, which enables anyone that reads
it to agree or differ with them as to the
soundness of their own conclusions. How
ever, there is one thing that there will be
very little contention over, aud that is the
manifest untairness of taking the analysis
OF two samples of water from the river at
high tide and from river channel flushed
out temporarily with the flow of the rains
as satisfactory evidence OF the condition of
the same river all the year round.
And there is another thing that there
will be no ground of contention on, and
that is the use, in connection with the chem
lcal analysis, of parallel biological test.
For we are now sure that the presence of
putrefaction and disease germs in water
may be demonstrated to any extent by the
use of microscopic appliances, when the

OVER PRODUCTION.

| ne CdplIal Vi Ile SIodI bUd1o "
Kansas feels the pressure ofdull times
and complains in her daily press thai
the city is not giving relief to the un'
employed poor, as it might, by en-
gaging in public works for their pres,
ent benefit. Kansas has been little
overcrowded of late years. Her for
eign immigration agents have not
been idle, and production has been
forced beyond the capacity of the
market to pay remunerative prices.
A reaction under such circumstances
is inevitable and the effects are first
felt in the cities, where in flush times
great demand for labor is created. If
this condition is temporary, the
employment of needy labor on the
streets of the cities will afford relief,
but if permanent, it will only
postpone the evil day. Some
of these days the agricultural sec
tions of the country will awake to the
fact that food pro luction has its lin
its, and that to produce beyond the
capacity of the market to consume is
as Improbable as it is unwise. 1t is
on this account that the LIGHT is so
strongly in favor of restricted immi-
grafton, knowing that the agrlcultu-
raj productions of this country have
already reached the limit of profitable
enterprise, and must wait for in
creased consumption in the manufac-
turing districts before increasing
food supplies. 1t is apparent to every
one who considers the field of foreign
food supply that it is constantly in
creasing and that from year to year
the old world demand for new world
supplies is being diminished. The
only remedy tor the American farmer
lies in the enlargement of manufac-
turing industry, SO as to increase the
home demand for food products;
and, in concentrating the TODD pro-
duets that are to reach foreign
markets so as to absOI b as small
a per cent of them as possible in
frelghts. When beef and pork in
stead of live animals are sent to for
eign markets, and corn is marketed
in the stomach Of fat cattle and hogs,
and wheat as flour only goes over the
seas, the American farmer and meat
grower can compete al least tor sea-
son with the foreign producer. Eng
land and Germany will not long de-
pend upon America for food supplies.
Egypt and India can lay down wheat,
oats and corn in the European mar
ket cheaper than the American farm
er can unless American labor is re-
duced to the pauper conditions of fell
Ian and sudra labor. 1t is to prevent
this condition and the impOverish-
ment of American agricultural eli ter
prise that that the protective system
has been adopted by the republican
party. The fostering of manutac-
lures adds to the non-IOOd-prOdIcing
classes Of this country and SO opens a
direct market for American farm pro-
ducts without foreign competition.
Protection is the only hope Of the
American farmer, az it is the only
hope of the Americas. manufacturer
At The same time it reduces cost, by
competition at home, and gives the
American IaDorer more for his days
wages than amy other labOrer Oh earth
is paid.

he PROMPTLY KILLED HIM.
A Handsome Young Dude at Silver City
Shot by an Infuriated Husband.

Adyices from Silver City to the New
MEXICAN aie to the effect that on Mon
day evening last horrible tragedy took
place in that usually quiet town.
Thomas Lyons, senior member Of the
we'll known and wealthy cattle rising firm
of Lyons & Campbell, shot and killed in
stantly young man named John McMan-
nigall.
1t seems, that the latter, who is de-
scrbed as a handsome, tall, young fellow,
by vocation clerk, had been paying con-
siderable attention to Mrs. Lyons, who is
a rather good looking Young woman. The
couple, so reports say, became infatuated,
and Dame Rumor was very busy with
their names for while. Mr.. Lyons, who
is well known as very honorable gentle
man, heard of the thing and forbade
McMannigall visiting his house some
three months ago. On Monday last,
Mr.. Lyons was supposed to be alb
sent from Silver City shipping
some cattle for his firm. He came home
to Silver City unexpectedly about 10 p.
H., and reaching his elegant residence he
found everything dark and quiet. En-
tering the house he heard voices in the
parlor he opened the door and demand
ed to know who was there, when shot
was fired at him from dark corner, the
ball striking the parlor door above his,
Lyons, head, lie Immediately pulled q
self cooking revolver he had carried, and
fired three times in the direction from
which the first shot came, each ball
striking the young man aforesaid. Any
one of the wounds would have proved
fatal. McMannigall expired instantly,
and Mrs. Lyon, who had been with Nc
Mannigall, escaped in the darkness; had
she not escaped, the chances are that
the Infatuated husband would have shot
her also.
The New MEXICAN is informed that the
matter was investigated and verdict Of
UNSUITABLE homicide returned by the jury
and Mr.. Lyon was released. The affair
is much deplored, as both Mr.. and Mrs.
Lyon were well known and popular and
have one child
