Not only has the American contribution
to the commercial supply increased from
GAS per cent. OF the whole In the 1915
period to n.S In that from 1886 49, but the
quantity retained for homo consumption
has increased in oven greater proportion,
while we are now manufacturing about "a
per cent. OF the entire supply as against
1913 per cont. In the 1915 period. On the
other hand. European consumption re-
quired 72.2 per cent. Of the whole from 1871
to 1878. yet has been content with 65.3 per
cent. thereof In the five years ending with
1880. while Indian consumption has alb
sorbed an increasing proportion. The re-
quirements Of the minor manufacturing
communities have been such constant pro-
portion of the total supply that this has
varied but tenth OF ono per cent. In the
four periods.
The most notable change In the consump-
ton OF raw cotton. as related 10 the whole
supply. is that which has occurred In Con-
tinental Europe. Iwenty-three years sinoe.

To-Day in France.

There Is something remarkable in the cir
cumstances under which the new Chamber
Of Deputies will be chosen to-day in France.
For the first time since the establishment
: OF the third republic. the friends Of politi-
cal reaction are rendered almost powerless.
Scarce less noteworthy are the discourage
ment and weakness OF the radical wing OF
the Republicans. which in previous cleo
lions had steadily gained strength. and has
long exercised an influence out OF proper
ton to its numbers. The opponents of
President CARNoT and OF the DUPUY Cab
inet have been unable to hit upon any ef-
fective weapon Of attack or any telling
party cry; and they will go to the ballot
boxes IN the spirit OF men who feel that
they have been outgeneralled and are
beaten In advance.
1t has not been by accident. but by skill
and tact, that the political situation has
been 30 profoundly changed. There has
been more than one conjuncture during the
last six months when the tide OF public
feeling ran high against tho group Of Re-
publicans In power. II not against tho form
OF government which rendered the pro-
dominance OF such men possible. There
have been widespread and violent demands
for dissolution Of Parliament. and an i'm
mediate appeal to the electors; and, had
President CARNoT yielded to the pressure.
the popular verdict would probably have
boon adverse to him and to his personal
adherents. There was much plausibility in
the plea that the last Chamber Of Deputies.
which had been elected In 1889 to deal with
Boulangism. had long outlived Its specific
purpose. and had become so tainted with
corruption as to be a disgrace to tho con-
stituencles. 1t did. indeed. appear shock

when the indignation reused by the Panama
scandal was at its height. President CARNor
would have exposed to peril. not perhaps
the Republican regime Itself, but, at all
events. those moderate Republicans whom
he no doubt conscientiously regards as the
Dafest guardians OF Republican interests.
Considerably later. when the storm caused
by tho Panama disclosures had died away,

ament from which only q man OF great So

renoy for while, tho prices OF good many
stocks have fallen. there have boen business
failures, all OF the workers cannot find employ
ment, the m oney market has been tight the
banks have restricted their loans, and the
savings banks have put check upon the
withdrawal OF their funds. We are ready to
let the Adrocate know that these experiences
are unpleasant and yet we feel bound to In
form 1t that this place ia not busted. The
business failures have been very few In pro-
portion to tho number OF business houses; the
vast majority Of our working people are ON
ployed and drawing wages: Wall street In far
from bankruptcy: we shall soon be within sight
OF all the currency needed. Tho commercial
transactions Of the town are OF prodig-
ious volume: Its immense productive and
industrial activity has not been lessoned
much even temporarily: lots Of the people are
making money as usual: most Of the whole
sale and retail shopkeepers are thriving fairly:
the railroad trains that run here from all direo-
tions are ever on the fly: the price Of real estate
keeps up: the playhouses are getting along:
Coney Island is crowded every day: moro than
hundred thousand OF the citizens are taking
n vacation in tho country and paying their
way: the landlords don't see any reason for
reducing rents: the main streets are crowded

ness on hand. II we can judge by the way they
walk: the 'longshoremen and roustabouts are
loading and unloading seips all the time; and.

is the special mark of their splenic effu-
sions. The Las Vegas Optic, an avowed
enemy of the doctrines of Democracy,
and steadfast opponent to Mr.. Joseph,
has had the manliness and honor to
treat him with more fairness and justice
than several self-styled Democratic
sheets. Misrepresentation and false
hood concerning all things, and all men
that can not be made to serve their selfish
ends, seems to be the watch-word of
certain alleged Democrats in this territory;
and realizing that Delegate Joseph is
working for the good of New Mexico, as
a whole, without any special reference to
them, they lose no opportunity to misrep
resent him. 1t has ever been circu-
lated in the mining districts of this terri
tory that Mr.. Joseph was opposed to BIZ
metallism, when the originators and
circulators of the story knew, and know,
that it is as base falsehood as ever
passed the lips of an enemy of this
section. The Democracy, the true
friends of this territory should be on the
alert to silence these traducers in the
party, and force them to come out in
their true colors.-Roswell Record.

Are Schoolmasters Conceited?

I do not know whether you have ever mo-
ticed it or not. but my experience has been
that schoolmasters are the most conceited
set of fellows one can possibly come across.
In my day have known a very large num-
Der of masters both at public and private
schools, and while nearly all of them were
men of excellent education they seemed to
be filled with most extraordinary idea OF
their own Importance, and looked upon all
other professions outside their own as very
inferior indeed.
The bump of conceit seemed in them to
be developed to an abnormal degree, and
their companionship, therefore, could not
be altogether called agreeable.
What is the reason Of this? suppose 1t
to be that at school they are accustomed to
lord 1t over the rising generation, and that
within school walls every word they utter
Is weighted with an authority which is in
disputable. fancy that they are believ-
ers in the saying Of the versifier who al
legged that "men were only boys grown
TALL" so that they find themselves quite
unable, outside the schoolroom, to conduct
themselves in any other fashion than they
do in their classes. London Tit-Bita.

the BIC BATTLE TO FOLLOW.

The Democratic legislative program is
so easily disjointed, and the changes are
so lightning like and unstable, that it is
risky business to venture an editorial
opinion on what they are likely to do
with silver before they get through with
another days session. However, 1t seems
to be pretty well settled now that Cleve-
land has whipped in the southern con-
tingent and that repeal is certain. While
on the surface, this surrender appears
complete, we are constrained to believe
that Mr.. Cleveland must have also made
very many concessions in order to bring
about this apparent oIe-man victory.
1t will be remembered that Senator
Jones, of Arkansas, stated the other day
that SENATORS who were with the admi-
nistratlon for repeal had pledged them
selves to support subsequent legislation
favorable to silver, and tho administra-
ton has pledged itself in the same way
This is undoubtedly the key note to the
solution of the problem. In order to
avert the ignominy of compromise Mr..
Cleveland has had to go further with his
pledges in this respect than he originally
intended, and as last resort has con-
scented to countenance legislation, follow
inc repeal, that would result in much
wider use of silver as money. In no
other way could he have accomplished
his whipping in enterprise surely, for the
south is plainly with the west in this fight
for silver.
Therefore we may expect, after the
repeal bill Is passed, and as a result
largely of the manly fight made by west
ern senators, aided by such men as Dan
iel, Call, Morgan, Vest, Cockrell, Pugh
and Harris, that such silver legislation
will follow as will very materially i'm
prove the silver interest Thus in the
end the victory for silver will be all the
greater. The ten weeks fight has demon
strated to the world the real strength OF
the white metal and has set the pace for
| legislation that can never again be so de-
| trimental to the west as was the policy
that originally inspired the passage Of
| the Sherman act.
