SATURDAY, MAY Is, 1895

There is no one Of good sense
who will endorse the attempt to
discredit the Importance OF the
American possessions in Hawaii,
because the bulk Of the Americans
who are at present doing business
in that island are from New Eng
land. This is what the Houston
Post does, and it is Of piece with
the usual partisanship Of that
sheet. More than two thirds of the
capital in Hawaii is American
capital, and because the bulk Of it
is from New England the attempt
to protect the Republic is belittled
by the Post. This is simply too
small potatoes for any journal
claiming to be out OF its swaddling
clothes. 1t bespeaks a mind in
f1ttessimal enough to find room in
the hull OF tobacco seed and then
cry out "rooms to let rooms to
let" The people Of New England
are American citizens, just the
same as those who dwell in Texas
and entitled to the same rights
aud the protection Of the Federal
government as If they had been
born along the banks Of the reek-
ing bayou.

OfIiciaI Statistics Showing the Yield
in the United states for the
Year 1894.

Washington, June 25.-The annual gov
ernment report of the mineral resources
of the United States for the calendar year
1894 has been completed. The total pro-
duct shows great decline from the out
put of 1898. The low price of silver is
responsible for its decreased production.
The gold product for the year was the
largest since 1873, increasing from 1885,
O81 troy ounces for 1898, with coming
value of $35,95O,OOO. Silver production
declined over 100000 ounces.
The consumption of petroleum ex-
ceeded the production, greatly decreasing
the stocks at the wells and increasing the
prices. The total product was valued at
524,955, ,131. The total value of non-met-
allie mineral products was $3O5, ,343;
metallic $21S,168,78S; and unspecified
mineral products estimated at $11 900, 900.
The official results of the investigation of
the metallic products for the year are as
follows, arranged by quantity and value:
Pig iron, 6,657, 1888 long tons, valuation,
$65,OO7,247; silver, 49,50l,l22 troy

SALISBURY AT THE HELM.

London, June 25.-After conference
to-day with the Right Hon. A. j. Balfour,
the Duke of Devonshire, the Right Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain and others, the Mar
quis of Salisbury started for Windsor,
where it is expected he will submit to the
queen the names of the new cabinet.

of commons to-day when the chancellor

give the house definite information re-
garding the change of government, but
was unable to do so at present. The

DEALERS IN FURNITURE, HARDWARE, QUEENS
WARE, GLASSWARE, ETC.
Messrs. Wagner & Haffner buy all kinds
of goods for cash only and sell on easy
payments. Theirs is emphatically the
peoples store of Santa Fe. The stock is
SO. o..extensive and diverse that no adequat
description can be given in the space ac-
corded to this sketch, and the mention of
leading lines must suffice. In new goods
we note an extensive and we'll selected
stock of crockery, queensware, glassware,
ware and household goods of every de-
scription. 1t is especially worthy Of note
that the firm has quite recently increased
its general stock by an $4,000 stock of
general hardware.
In the secondhand department the
number and variety of articles bought,
sold and carried in stock seems limited
only by the needs of the people in their
various avocations and in furnishing
their homes.
There are two main salesrooms front.
ing on San Francisco street and running
back $50 feet.
Messrs. Wagner & Haffner are buyers
of furniture and household goods of every
description direct from eastern factories,
and, buying largely in carload lots, they
are enabled to sell at prices as low as can
be had in any city of the southwest The
system of exchanging new furniture for
old offers great saving to many families
having old furniture too good to be
thrown away, but wishing to refurnish
their homes. Their secondhand stock Of
fers no less an opportunity to many who,
from a wish to economize, find an oppor
tunity for doing 80 in the purchase of
secondhand furniture. Secondhand fur
niture is overhauled and renovated be-
fore being offered for sale, and is, in many
instances, almost as good as new.
The stock contains also an extensive
assortment of picture mouldings, and a
speciality is made of making picture
frames to order. We may add also that a
complete line of window and picture
frame glass will soon be added to the
stock.
Both members of the firm are not only
we'll known locally, but throughout New
Mexico, Mr.. Chas. Wagner having come
to the territory in 1864 and Mr.. Louis
Haffner in 1881. The high commercial
standing of this firm for years and its
fair and honorable methods Of dealing in
the past are sufficient guarantee of the
continued prosperity of the house.
