AFTER THE AFFAIR IS OVER.
England Disposed to Plume Herself
ON Her Mnsnanimity.

LONDON, May 3.-The Globe this after
noon, commenting upon the trouble be-
tween Nicaragua and Great Britain, says:
''The sharp little lesson which we had the
painful duty to inflict upon Nicaragua can
not fail to be productive of good there
Another and more powerful state has also
been taught useful lesson. The American
republic assumes the post of arbitrator in
all disputes between the smaller states and
Europe, and what is more important, 1t
shows a disposition to interfere in those
disputes which is Objectionable as it
is unasked for. The tone of the American
press ever since the present difficulty arose
has reflected very clearly the usual tone
of their country in these matters, though
perhaps their bluster and braggadocio upon
this occasion was rendered louder because
they felt that there was little chance Ct
being listened to- We do not wish to heap
ind.gnity upon any state, howe er small
and insignificant. England has never play
ed the part of bully and never will, but
she must be careful to see that her good
nature is not too much presumed upon"
The St. James Gazette, referring to the
same subject, remarks:
The Nicaraguan bill is. backed by Sal

closely into the value of the guarantee.

in charge, assisted by an able
corps of instructors. The school
is expected to open with from
fifteen to twenty students. With

There will be two courses of
study, the one leading to the de
gree of mine engineer, and the
other to the degree of bachelor of
science in chemistry and metal
lurgy. There will also be a pre-
paratory department and oppor-
tunity given to those who wish to
pursue a special course of study.

tional advantages for the practical
study of mining as well the

Rev. Thos. Harwood, president

Irrigation Congress and Territorial
Fair.
Next week will be a big week
for New Mexico for that is the
time the irrigation congress of
western states and territories and
the Territorial fair of New Mex
ico both take place. AT the irri-
cation congress nearly or every
state and territory west of the
Mississippi will send delegates
and there is no question but that
great good will result from this
meeting together and interchang-
ing views as to the best methods
of reclaiming the arid lands of
the west.
The Territorial fairs of New
Mexico have always been noted
for the grand exhibition of min
erals, agricultural, fruit and stock
products. but this year of all
years a special effort has been
made and there will be a larger
and better collection and display
than ever before in the history of
the territory.
New Mexico is still a new
country to most of its inhabitants
outside of the native population,
and all who want to see how big
a country we really have, and the
diversity and immensity of its
products and resources should by
all means take a day off, next
week, and go up to Albuquerque
to the fair. The railroad fare is
only one cent mile-or SI.s5 for
the round trip from Socorro. Go

can spare, but better arrange to.
