=. I. Barnum used to relate a
story illustrating the extent a man
can be mean. A man had opened
store and was Offering free
drinks to customers. A stranger
came in and inquired "What's
the price Of darning needles 2"
"a cent n piece" was the reply.
"Aud what are eggs worth ?" "Six
pence a dozen" "Woll, that is
u cent piece, isn't It so I'll take
darning needle and leave this
egg" Tho exchange was effected
when the egg man SAID "You
promised to treat each customer
Well, what will you drink F" 81
guess I'll take glass OF sherry
wine" The glass Of sherry was
brought. Looking at ii thought
fully the 'eustomer' observed
s1ts very remarkable thing, but
never could drink sherry wine
without an egg in it," "Well you
shall have 1t, !" said the store-keep'
or. AS the contents were dropped
into tho glass of sherry it was no
uccd that it had two yelks. "Well
now said the drlnker, any wii'
would be blessed il she knew that
to think that she parted with two
yelks for one darning needle. Yol
really must give me another needl'
for that second Nelk.

The people Of sonth Santa Fe

work. They believe that il this
road is built or likely to be built
in year or two, it will have the
effect by the nearness of its line to

enter them by a spur and give u'
competing lines, or will force Tho

Republican Prospects
Binht.

As the time for the fall elections
approach, prospects of a grand vic
tory for the Republican party, be.
come brighter and brighter. It has
been many years since 50 much har-
mony prevailed in the ranks of the
party in the several states in which
elections are to be held. The de-
feats OF last year, have had a retroc
tive effect; the lines have been
closed mp, and the party is march
ing forward TO victory. The sue
cessful operation of the revised
tariff under the Mckinley Bill, has
restored confidence, given new
impetus to business and trade, and
revived the industries of the coun-
try. Farmers, mechanics and la
berers, who were in the last cam
paign deceived, by the ever dccep-
tive Democracy, are now basking
in the sunshine of unprecedented
prosperity, with peace. plenty and
contentment III their homes and
around their firesides.

League Organization
a NeceSSiLy.

1t was said by one Of old, 'sthere
is time tor all things" This mot.
to suggests to our mind the necessI.
ty OF action by Atro-Americans OF
this city. a league for the purpose
OF distilling in the minds OF our
young men, active business princi-
pies, should be organized at once.
The deplorabIe conitions surround
ing us, do not add to our advance
ment, but rather retard our prog
ress. While much good might not
be accomplished at the outset, yet,
by col cert Of action, energy and
push, favorable results would soon
follow. Our young men need some
such enterprise to stimulate and en-
courage them in something lauda-
BILE and elevating. We must have
men Of unselfsh motives, to take
the iniatory in this movement: men
who have the highest interests OF
the race at heart, and are willing to
make some sacrifices for the accom-
plishment of such Grand Posi-
billy. Neither Churches, or Socie-
ties can accomplish the work, but
each may materially aid. Church
es are denominational-each labor
ing to build up its own bousehoId:
Most Societies are secret-each hav-
ing dissimllar objects in view, and
none tending toward industrial, or
business enterprises. Organize up
on these principles, and success will
attend the effort.

Pleasure, Business And Politics--Tht
Capital Welcomed.
During the present week we visit
ed Fulton County in the interest Of
the paper, and succeeded beyond
our most sanguine expectation. We
accidently, Con purpose) called on
Mr.. Z. Il. Snively, editor and pub
Usher OF tre Canton Daily Register
the only daily paper published in
that fourishing town-in fact in the
county-and one eff the best edited
Journals in the state. Mr.. Snively
is one of the honored appointees OF
Gov. Fifer: being member of the
Canal Commission, and whose ap-
pointment has the sanction and ap-
proval of all JEALOUS Republicans
1t is fitting recognition of his ca
pabilites, as we'll as of the valuable
party services rendered both in state
and county politics. If all republic
On appointees were as active as he.
there would be no doubts concrn-
ing the result in 1892.
Mr.. W. I'll. Shaw, postmaster. is
another active and influential man,
and in the discharge Of his official
duties, is giving entire satisfaction
to the citizens. We are under obli-
cations to those, and Other gentle
men, for the uniform courtesy re-
celved while there.
We had the pleasure of meeting
many OF the business men of the
town, some Of whom were inclined
to talk politics, as well as business.
We found strong sentiment in IA
vor Of iov. Fifer, Hon. L. n. Pear
son and Gen Payer Mr.. Armstrong,
one of the largest cigar manufac-
turers in the West, and successful
business man, is an ardent admirer
OF Gen. Pavey, and the other Off
cials named, and there were scores
of others, equally as enthusiastic.
Our trip was intended for business
alone, but the open-hearted and so,
cial disposition of the citizens, caus-
ed us to combine pleasure and poll
tics with business. Mr.. Snively ex-
hibited his interest IN the Capital,
and in our race, by paying year
ly subscription for two colored men
of Canton, Me>srs Anderson Turn
er and Frank ilbur: Mr.. Shaw,
did likewise, by paying for the sub
scriptions of Messrs Ed. Winson
and Richard Carroll, of St. David.
We thank these gentlemen for their
kindness, and are proud to know
that our views are in accord on poll
tics as we'll as the race question.

Last June, a contest OF prizes for
three OF the most popular teachers
IN the States eft Illinois and Missou-

OF this paper: the three ladies re-
eeiving the highest number of votes
to have the benefit Of tour: the
first, to Denver, Colo, and return,
second, to Niagara Falls, and re-
turn, and the third, to Chicago, and
return. The young ladies who car
ried off the palm in the first two in
stances, have already enjoyed the
behetts OF our liberal offer, and re-
turned to their homes bestowing
words Of praise on the Capital, ana
their delightful trip. Miss Laura
Barnett OF Jacksonville, ILL.,, was the
successful competitor for first prize,
and, before the Capital reaches its
readers, she will have STA. ted Oh
her journey toward the lofty peaks
of the Rocky Mountains--a distance
of more than one thousand miles

The expenses attending these tours,
were financial loss to US, but in
this, as in all other instances, we
have kept our promises with our
patrons. Miss Barnett's caergy and
enterprise, have won tor her, this
honored distinction, ana we appre-

has expressed to US. We wish her
a pleasant journey, and safe return:
with the yet farther wish, that she
may obtain "a apartner for lite, who
will be worthy of her character, en-
