The CANAL TRoLLY IS A GO.-With
l2-foot trolly rods. only little longer
than these used on street cars, the
canal boat Frank w. Hawley was pro-
PEELED successfully by electricity, at the
rate of from four to seven miles an hour
on the Pittsford level of the Erie Canal,
New York, on Saturday. Gov. Flower,
George Westinghouse, Nicola TESLA,
the electrician, and prominent men
witnessed the test. The Governor says it

from Duluth to New York for cents

stop at Minneapolis under the new sys

ExcITEMENT.-Some excitement was
occasioned on Wilkes street, between
Fairfax and Lee, about five o'clock
yesterday evening by colored woman
who was running from her husband.
About fifty people joined in the chase,
most of whom like the Ephesian multi
tude mentioned in the Bible, knew not
what had called them together. 1t
seems the woman was bent on going to
Washington and her husband desired
to prevent her. The father of the
woman had espoused her cause and had
unceremoniously entered her house and
became disorderly. All the parties
were in the police court this morning
and were bound over to keep the peace.

DRIVE OUT the PESTS.

The excellent outlook for large fruit
crop this season should serve as re-
minder to the orchardists that they must
not neglect their duty of waging ener-
getic and continuous war upon all man.
ner of fruit pests. The present is the
time for looking after this matter. In
the southern part of the territory the
trees are in full blossom and no time
should be lost in the application of
arsenites by spraying, process that has
been so effective in all the fruit growing
states in the Union. These pests have as
vet secured no substantial foot-hold in
New Mexico orchards, but observers note
that with each succeeding season during
the last five years more and moro of the
fruit shows their ravages and the market
able product is gradually being reduced,
thus indicating that relentless war must
be made upon them after the most ap-
proved methods, otherwise permanent
damage will be done. Let the fruit grow
ers be up and doing in time. Nature has
done much in the way of variety of boil
and climate toward making New Mexico
a great and highly attractive fruit coun-
try, and it would be shame should neg
lect in this matter of spraying permit
our orchards to be over-run with those
numerous pests SO detrimental to success
in this line of industry

nNE M0RE FOR SILVER.

There is good deal of solid consola-
ton for western people in the announce
ment from Washington that the president
has consented to a reassembling of the
international monetary conference on
May so. As was held by President Harri-
son, this is undoubtedly the best plan for
getting at the core of the much discussed
subject Of silver's use as money. Cleve-
land sees this as readily us anybody. He
may yet have to take bold issue with
some of his eastern admirers on the ques-
ton of silver or suffer the west to sound
his political death-knell, and if by chance
this international conference should agree
upon compromise, which Senator Ali
son thinks will be the result, it will help
Mr. Cleveland let himself down easy with
the Wall street element. Besides calling
the conference to meet again was shrewd
political move on the part of the presi-
dent; he knows the temper of congress
and he knows that had he refused to re-
cali the conference the senate would have
passed resolution demanding him to do
so, thus precipitating at the very outset
of the new administration conflict
which the PRESIDENT to all present indica-
tions, is inclined to postpone as long as
possible.

THE SEWER BOND PROPOSITION,

If the citizens of Santa Fe desire the
carital of New Mexico to remain here, it
will be necessary that this city be made
clean, healthy and inviting; to this end a
sewer system is absolutely and impera-
lively necessary; commencement should
be made this year in that line; the best
interests of this city demand this; hence
the proposition to issue sewer bonds to
the amount of $4,000 should carry.
The citizen, property owner and tax
payer who opposes this proposition is
very short sighted indeed and acts against
the advancement and progress of this city.
It is high time that 10th century methods
ceased to exist and govern in Santa Fe.
Our enterprising neighbors to the east
and south, Albuquerque and Las Vegas,
are engaged constantly in municipal I'M
provements. If Santa Fe desires to be
left behind and give up the capital, just let
it 60 on as it has been and that result
will certainly come about. This is such
a self-evident fact that very much argu-
ment is not necessary for its force or
calculation.
