WESTERN NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Colorado boasts that her manu-
facturers care little about the tariff,
whether low or high, because their
distance from the sea- board issuffi-
cient protection against foreign
competition. The argument is
sound; and if western people will
make up their minds to use west
ern manufactured products their
prosperity will be put on solid
and permanent basis. The use of
western made goods will build up
manufacturing communities that
will furnish home demand for
the products of farm, garden and
range. The benefits will be NUT
ual. Every producer understands
the advantages of having market
at home.
New Mexico is as we'll situated
for the location of manufacturing
enterprises as Colorado, and for
some branches perhaps even better.
If trade with Mexico were devel-
oped as it should be by the con-
struction of additional lines of rail
way across the line, affording
cheaper means Of transportation to
all parts of that country, there is
no natural reason why this portion
of the west should not become q
great manufacturing region. 1t is
contiguous to the great cotton
fields of Texas and accessible to
those of all the south, and is ad.
mirably adapted to the raising oi
sheep; so that the making of cotton
and woollen fabrics should find 6
congenial and advantageous loca
ton here with that market opened
The establishment of foundriei
and machine works would also
have the advantage of coal anC
iron near at hand and of good quail
ity,
There is no good reason why, i
the people of the west guard thei
own interests as they should
a new Pennsylvania and new New
England, in industry and wealth
should not be built up in the grea
mountain region, the store-hous,
of natural wealth, within the lif,

side Of the narrow strait lies the coast OF
Africa; the high minaret of Moorish pal

while from Gibraltar's shore one catches the
sound of martial music, waited softly across
the emerald water, and as one stops to lis
ten, the well-llnown strains of "RuIe Bri-

distinguished.

STORY OF "OLDIRONsIDEs." "
How the Famous Lyric of DIR. Holmes Came
to be Written.
boston P0St1


"Old Ironsides." DR.. Holiness most STIR
ring lyric and the one which brought him
recognition as a poet, was fIst printed in
the Boston Advertiser. In 1880, as all
know, the frigate Constitution, the conquer
ing hero Of many a sea fight, lay at Charles
town Navy Yard, condemned by an unsen-
timental Department to be destroyed as no
longer seawOrthy.
DIR. Holmes was then youth of 81. He
had been graduated from Harvard the year
before and had spent some time in the study
of law. At that moment, however, his le-
gal studies had been abandoned, and ne was
living quietly at home uncertain of his
future occupation. 1t was in the interval
between his desertion of the law and his
resolve TO study medicine that "Old Iron
sides" was written.
The young mans mind was filled with
enthusiasm for the achievements of our
Navy, and that its most famous vessel
should be chopped up like any unhallowed
wood naturally provoked and CALLED him.
The feelings which the action of the De
partment aroDsed in him found spOntane
Gus expression in the poem. We say spOn-

place in the old house at Cambridge. And
then, without dreaming of the great popular
ity it would win, or Of how effectual its pro-
test would be, he sent it off TO the Advertiser,
where it appeared In the issue Thursday,
Sept. Is.
As it gave eloquent voice to the senti-
ment Of he whole country, its success was
both sudden and universal. The poem was
copied with applause from paper to paper,
while IN Washington it was struck off on
hsndbills and distributed through the city.
The grand result was preservation with
honor Tor the Constitution.

Later IN the evening came companion
who, if he lived, would at some time return
to Jerome's boyhood home. First, the con-
demned man thought of his widowed
mother, and he sent her message of love
and devotion. Then he thought of a brother
and sister. And finally he thought of one
brlght-eyed maid, whose vine-clad cot
stood upon the banks of the Seine-one
whom he had loved with a love such as only

would do all he could. and that, if the truth
could not be kept back, it should be so
told that the name of Jerome Dubois
should not bear dishonor in the miuds of
those who had loved him in other days.
Morning came, dull and gloomy, with
driving sleet and snow, and at an early hour
JeTome Dubois was led forth to meet his
fate. The place of execution had been
fixed upon low barren spot toward the
sea, and thither his division was being
marched to witness the fearful punishment
They had gained more than half the dis
tance when the sound Of some strange COM
motion broke upon the wintry air, and yery
shortly an Abide Camp came ,dashing to the
side of the General of the brigade with the
cry:
"A sortie! A sortie! The enemy are out
IN full force. Let this thing be STAYED.
The Marshal directs that you shall face
about and advance upon the peninsula"
In an instant all was changed in that
division, and the Brigadier General, who
had temporary command, Numbered forth
his orders for the cOunter-march The
gloom was diSsipated, and with glad hearts
the soldiers turned from the thoughts of
the execution of brave comrade to
thoughts OF meetintg the enemy.

asked the Sergeant who had charge of the
guards.

Captain.

execution thereof was not 10 be so easy.
