OUR EAKNEss FOR DIAMONDS,

1t may not be admitted, but it is a
fact, that the American people still re-
tain many Of the customs of the saw
age. Not the least of these is the uni
verSal weakness for jewels, and mere
gew-gaws for personal adornment.
The custom of wearing diamonds has
become a national habit, to that ex-
tent that it not only violates every rule
Of good taste. but actually shows a
tendency to lapse into the weakness
which prevails among our aborigines.
1t would be going too far to relegate
the diamond to other uses entirely, but
there is limit beyond which they can
not be worn without offending the pro-
prieties of sensible people.
In the first place, there are those in
all sO-called classes, who never can
wear jewels with any show of pro-
priety. Wealth, family connections
nor even the refining influences of edu-
cation do not necessarily equip a
man of woman for bedecking their per-
son with costly jewels. Put them on
VI Ni'Iits Us thCy Will tAiCy Son-
not Danish the suggestion of a Jewel
in swine'S snout" to the minds of
observing people. The selection, the
arrangement, and even the profusion
in which they are worn are so offensive
to good taste that the mind naturally
reyertS to the native weakness of poor
Lo as kindred quality. ITO be cloth
ed" says the best authority in fashions,
lis one thing. To be dressed is quite
another
The worst phase of this habit is the
very common custom with the IN
tutored class, on the sudden acquisition
Of wealth, to load the person with cost
ly pearls and diamonds which are as
much out of place as though in the YER
liable snout of an Arkansas razor-baclS
hickory rooter. If only the head could
be renovated, and a proportionate
sense of propriety could come along
with the quick fortune, this truely
American custom might be less Of
fenSiye in the eyes of those who know
anything of the eternal fitness Of
things.

A MATTER OF CHOICE.

The last issue of our Sunday contempo
rary, the Republican, contains the follow
ing:
"The Republican is most heartily in
favor of statehood and if the people so
decide would sooner see New Mexico a
state, Democratic from governor to every
precinct constable, than to remain ter
ritory."
This being its position, will the Repub
lican please tell US how the success of the
Republican ticket in New Mexico in No
vember would aid in obtaining statehoods
Does it not know that if the territory
goes Republican this fall, the New Mexico
enabling act will remain pigeon-holed in
the senate committee room?
Does it not know that if this opportun-
ity for statehood is lost, the opportunity
may not present itself again for years?
In short, doesn't the Republican know
that in advocating statehood in one para
graph and in advising the people of New
Mexico to elect Republican as delegate
this fall in the next it is irretrievably in
consistent?
We ask these questions in absolute
good faith, and we pause for reply.
The Republican can not serve the inter
ests of statehood, which must come
through Democracy, and the interests of
the Republican party at the same time.
In the issue between the two, it must
"cleave to the one and despise the other"
We repeat our question, not only for
an answer from the Republican but for
an answer from the people of this terri
tory who may be wavering on this issue:
Will you take Democracy with statehood
in December or will you take Republi-
canism with statehood the Good Lord
knows only when?. We have little doubt
as to the answer which the people will
give at the polls in this matter.

SOME FUN IN PROSPECT,

No uncomfortable interest is develop
ing in the possible result of the Repub-
lcan territorial convention which as
sembles at Socorro on the Goth inst. The
fact, as evidenced by the result of the Re-
publican primaries thus far held, that
Boss Catron has made up his mind to
dominate that assemblage as usual,
despite the solemn warning of the colts,
has served to set many of the more con-
sentative men of the party On the "tiptoe
of expectation" as to what may happen.

Republicans are booked for Catron, but
in the other counties, it is said, the guns
have been pretty well spiked against him
by M. s. Otero and his following in the
interest of Miguel A. Otero, of San Miguel,
and, as matters now stand, some lively
scraps are anticipated before either side
will lie down in the Socorro meeting.

the line will have been finished to Ros-

White Oaks will be the cry. The date OF
beginning the work toward the central

upon statehood, and this in turn depends

SETTING THE RIVERS AT WORK.
 There is great deal of majesty and sub limity in the Falls of Niagara, and there is also great deal of power. The modern wonder workers can't use the majesty and sublimity In their business, but they can use some of the power. They are already using 1t, and their example and success have led to great scheme to utilize some of the power that has been wasted for ages by the Des Moines rapids in the Mississippi river. There Is only twenty-four feet fall to the rapids, but the immense volume of water in the river will add to tho value of the descent. A canal Is to be built along the Illinois shore for some five miles, having 8 width of 1,238 feet at It's mouth and 400 feet at the narrowest part. The power house is to bs construct ed below the narrows, in proximity to the dam at the end of the canal. It is esti- mated that twenty turbines can be worked at the power house, each developing 3S7 horse power. They will be capable of op- erating dynamos generating by the direct cuIIeuC system 1I JUL uOEee- pCWSI. 4ueIo is no comparison Letween the capacity of these turbines and these at Niagara Falls, for the latter are to generate 5000 horsepower spiece, but there are comparatively few turbines In the world which are larger. For instance, the lsrg- est one built up to the construction of the three in the wheelpit of the Niagara Falls Paper company had @ capacity of only l. GOO horse power, and the three mentioned, immense in the opinion of experts when they were put in, are good for only HOO horsepower.
 The city of Keokuk Is to be supplied with power from the Des Moines rapids, and several towns in the vicinity are also making arrangements to bs supplied. A number of manufacturing plants are to be established in the more immediate neigh borhood, and great changes are to be wrought. The idea Is sure to spread, and probably by and by there will hardly be river of any vim in the country that will not be at work When the rivers are all at work 1t ought to bs little easier for
