ATTACHING AMERICAN TIN

The editor of the st. James Gazette of
London should have consulted the
American free trade organs before he
printed the following:
In your issue of yesterday a CORE
spondent draws attention to case in
which the poisonous effects are at
tributed to the action of vinegar ON the
solder of the tin case; and have noticed
that in most instances this view has pre-
vailed. / think, however, the cause of
the mischief is to be found in the tin $50
called case itself for the following
reason: If the material of which the
cases are made containing salmon,
lobster or fruit be compared with good
tin plate of English manufacture a great
difference will be observed. The tin
plate referred to is presumably of Ameri-
can make, and it is well known that this
article has taken the place of English to
a large extent. No doubt it would be
much cheaper on account of the heavy
duty on the English goods.
The author of the above, in his anxiety
to uphold the British as against Ameri-
can tin, appears to have forgotten that
according to the pro-British free trade
newspapers over here no American tin is
manufactured, The writer in question,
WHO is eVlueuIlv Well dCqudluJeu WIN
the conditions of tin manufacture,
admits that American tin ''has taken the
place of the English to large extent
for the reason that mo doubt it is much
cheaper on account of the heavy duty on
English goods"
There is more truth in this statement
of frank and open British enemy of
American manufacturers than in all the
thousands of columns of duplicity and
deception that have appeared in Ameri-
can free trade newspapers on the subject.
The Britisher honestly admits that
American tin is taking the place of
British tin, and that the Mckinley law
has made it possible. He then appeals
to his countrymen not to use articles
canned in American tin, on the ground
that it is of inferior quality, On this we
take issue with him. The American tin
is pronounced by competent judges to be
superior to the British article, and we
believe that any fair test will prove its
superiority.

HOW A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER WAS
NAMED.

An old legend tells of two lovers, walk
ing by the river Rhine. The lady beg
ged her sutton to pluck little pale-blue
flower growing on the bank. In doing
so, he fell into the water and was
drowned; but while sinking he threw
the flower to her, and cried, Forget me
not!" Thousands of women will never
forget what DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription has done for them. 1t is pre-
pared specially to cure those diseases
from which they alone suffer, and often
in silence, rather than consult a physi-
cian-as periodical pains, prolapsus, and
all uterine troubles. Purely vegetable,

THE GOOD OLD TIMES.
"Then times were good,
Merchants cared not a rush
For any other fare,
Tahu- II v,,,aI, -

But now times have changed, and the
plain and simple fare of the forefathers
is done away with. Patent flour and
high-seasoned food, and strong drinks,
have taken its place, and, as result, dys-
pepsia, impure blood, and diseases of the
stomach, liver ana lungs are numerous.
This great change has led one of the
most skillful physicians of the age to
study out a remedy for these modern
diseases, which he has named his
Golden Medical Discovery" Dr.PIerce
in this remedy has found cure for dys-
pepsia, bronchitis, asthma, consumption
in its early stages, and silver COM

In New Mexico there has been a
decrease in cereals, the area in 1879
having been lO4,4sl acres, and in
] 1889 only 0l,S4O acres. The aver
age yields per acre in bushels are as
follows: Barley, $500; buckwheat,
%; corn, 2O.45; oats, 22l3; rye,
11.74; wheat, 1896.
In Arizona the total area in cereals
shows a decrease of SIC acres. The
averages per acre in bushels are as
follows: Barley, 1871; buckwheat,
-; corn, 1906; oats, 1910; rye,
1919.
AS will be seen, the production in
New Mexico has decreased 40 per
cent. in the ten years quoted. This
certainly does not speak well for us
in that respect, and to this more
than any one other thing can be at
tributed the hard times here. During
that time there was a large increase
in population and greater demand
for agricultural products, and these
had to be all brought in from Kansas
and paid for in cash, when they
could just as well have been raised
here. When there is a change IN
this respect here we can look for
better times.

RAMSAY & HENRY,

monY, for the present maharajah is a
Hindu of the orthodox type, who
aspires to keep up the traditions of
his house. Some months before the
ceremony, the government purchased
through It's commercial agent at
Alleppey, about 1900 pounds weight
of pure gold, the greater part of
which was converted into coins for
this purpose. After presenting an
elephant and offerings to the shrine
the maharajah entered the building
prepared for the occasion, and having
completed the preliminary ceremon-
les, mounted one of the scales. The
sword and shield were laid in his lap;
in the other side of the scales gold
coins, struck for the occasion, were
placed by the first and second princes
till it touched the ground, and the
maharajah rose in the air, the priest
meanwhile chantic Vedic hymns.
Volleys were fired, the band played
and the troops presented arms. The
maharajah worshipped at the shrine
and then went to the palace. Sub
sequently the dewan and other
officials distributed the coins from
the fort gates to about $4,000 Brah-
Minis.

AGRICULTURE m THE WEST.

A late census bulletin gives some
important statistical information in
regard to cereal production in Ne.
vada, Colorado and the territories of
Utah, New Mexico and Arizona.
In Colorado, says the bulletin, "the
total area in cereals was 35l, 0s6
acred, as compared with ll6,l2l
acres in 1879. The increase in the
area in wheat was $4,000 acres, and
in that in oats 1890 acres. In view
of the fact that there is no part of
the state that is less than 5000 feet
above sea level, the increase in the
area in corn from 22,o9l acres to
1880 acres is especially worthy of
note. The remarkable increase in
the cultivation of that cereal was
mainly in the northeastern part of
the state, where the conditions under
which agricultural operations are
carried on are similar to those OBJ
tanning in the western portions of
the adjoining states of Kansas and
Nebraska" The average yields per
acre in bushels are as follows: Bar
ley, 24.4s; buckwheat, 1879; corn,

MAX FROST.

The following from the Denver
News, Democratic paper, must have
been a surprise to Max Frost, who
has been accustomed to abuse even
by his own side:
The most striking character whom
have met for many years in the
west is Colonel Max Frost of Santa
Fe. Comparatively small in physi.
cal proportions, he yet possesses a
compact, well knit frame, 1.-THE, ac-
tive and capable of great endurance.
He is endowed with an acute intel.
lect and an amount of nervous energy
which seems exhaustless. He is a
keen observer of men and affairs, an
adept at discerning human motives
and of reading the future out of the
broken pages of today's events. A
southerner by birth and long time
resident of the west, he is free and
courteous in manner, and, while al
ways a gentleman by instinct and
culture, he is at home in all classes
of society, whether in the adobe of a
Mexican or in the most elegant
drawing room in the land. On the
history of New Mexico, Spanish and
American, on the geography of the
territory, on the records of its public
men, and on all current events he is
a walking cyclopedia. He Is nat
ural politician, who enjoys the ex.
element with pleasure excelled by
few who are engaged in its alluring
but dangerous game.
He gives hard blows and takes
them with equal apparent unconcern.
True as steel to his friends, he is an
opponent to be respected and an
enemy to be feared. As an enter
tainer he is rarely excelled, his cour-
tesy, his ready wit, his sparkling con-
versatiou, his apt comment on events,
incisive analysis of men and motives
rendering him one of the most agree
able of companions. He is in public |
life and has staunch friends and
active enemies, but he is amply able
to care for them both. As a private
citizen and as editor-in-chief of the
New Mexican he is certain to leave !
the imprint of his strong personality |
upon the territory of his adoption,
and will be remembered for his many
rare mental and personal characters
tics long after his defamers have
been forgotten.

TIE WAY TO SUCCEED.

The territorial capital is burned
down-at once papers in every di'
rection jumped onto Santa Fe and
commenced agitating a removal from
that city. Mr.. Joseph introduced a
bill to issue two hundred thousand
dollars in bonds to rebuild the terri
torial capitol. A howl is set up from
one end of the territory to the other
against it. Albuquerque starts out
to do something and the Las Vegas
Optic jumped on to it. And so il
goes-pull Dick, pull devil, until the
energies of the people of New Mex
leo are wasted in fruitless strife. We
have noted this, and we notice that
no good comes of it, but that the ter
ritory, on account of it, gets black
eye and backset every time. We
say that just so long as this policy is
kept up, just SO long will the pros
perity of this country be under a
cloud.-Socorro Chieftain.

A HINDU GOLD BUG.

round again, says the London News.
1t appears TO have been conducted
this year with great pomp and cere-
