Cheers for HunJington-Una
 Name for an American Vessel.

At Newport News Wednesday the third warship constructed by the pri- vate shipyard since the war and also the largest merchant steamer built in this country with the exception of two American transatlantic liners built by the Cramps, was launched successfully by the Newport-News Shipbuilding. company in the presence of a distin- guished party from Washington. The first to take the water was the mer chant vessel whose name has been kept secret until she began to sl.de down the ways, when Miss Nellie s. EI- dridge of Boston broke the usual bot tie of wine and christened her the Grand Duchesse. As the stern of the great hull struck the shrill whistles of the steamers gave greeting while thousands of people showed their ap- preciation by prolonged cheers for the Newport-News shipbuElding yard and c. P. Huntington as it's founder. What route the new vessel is intended for is, not yet announced. Thirty minutes after the Grand Duchesse had been lowed out of the May the warship' Helena was ready to take Ito her nat LII al elcl1IcuL MlSS ASueS DSIlS OtCCtO- daughter of Mayor Steele of Helena- smashed champagne battle and named her.
 The interest in the event is mainly confined to the assertion that there
 were cheers for c. P. Huntington, who,
 whatever be his virtues, is not usually
 publicly popular The second point of interest lies in the decidedly | un-American name of the great Amer ican steamship, and the wonder is that | in all the western continent or on the | isles of. the sea could not have been
 found an equally euphonious and less ! unpatriotic appellation.

REVIEWS TRADE.
More Hopeful Outlook Reported by Good Authority.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-R. e. Dun & Cos. Weekly Review of Trade says:
 Though business is still waiting, there are some signs of definite inn provement. It is now believed that the first payment for bonds will cause no further pressure and the money markets are easier as respects loans on collateral, though the difficulty of making commercial loans still checks operations. But large maturities at the end of January have been met more satisfactorily than was expected and merchants and bankers report that signs promise good spring trade

the Rev. Mr.. Chickering III day when

Trouble From Using OIL In Boilers.

The fact that the use of oil as an anti.
incrustator in steam boilers should be
occasionally attended by bagged furnace
crowns, if nothing worse, continues to
be a source of wonderment to q good
many people who ought to know some
thing Of the possibilities of the oil treat
ment. It has been pretty we'll demon
strated that q very small globule Of oil,
Oh becoming attached to the inner side
of a boiler sheet, will sometimes collect
a mass of dirt particles contained in the
water, the whole mixture ultimately
baking On and forming an excellent
n~onconductor.
This being the case. the overheating
and bullying of the sheet at that p%artic-
plar place are quite in the regular or
der of things. The only specially note-
worthy thing about the matter 10 that
a very thin film Of oil and a very small
admixture of dirt are sufficient to do a
great deal Of harm, and that the scale
formed by them may be SO inconspicu>
Gus as to readily escape detection hence
the seeming mystery which sometimes
is supposed to attend the coming down
Of a crown sheet. -Cassier's Magazine.

Giving Itself Away.

From the Salt Lake Tribune.
With infinite glee the Chicago
Chronicle begins an editorial on ga
Rise in Mexican Dollars" with these
words:
The price of Mexican dollars has ad.
vanced In the Chicago market. The aver
age price for many months has been about
fifty three cents each. There was a little
variation, owing to slight changes in the
market price of silver bullion.
But a few days ago the price jumped.
There was an advance Of two and q half to
three cents on the dollar. The coins that
sold for ffry-three cents and a fraction
were held at fifty-six cents and q fraction
less.
This advance In the price of Mexicans
was caused by the demand. Merchants
and traders in this city and all parts OF the
country advertised that they would sell
fifty cents worth of goods and would give
the buyer a Mexican dollar In change for a
United States dollar or a dollar in paper.
How dare the Chicago Chronicle pub
lish any such thing as thatP Has not
the Chronicle published for months
that the demand, or want of it, made
no possible difference in the price of
either gold or silver; that If the gov
eminent of the United States, backed
by Its 100000 0 of people were to
open an unlimited demand for the
white metal, the dollar after all would
contain but fifty-three cents worth of
silverP If a few merchants In and out
OF Chicago car in a few days cause
Mexican dollars to advance 8 cents,
what would follow were our
government to have the sense
to say through a statute: sBring on
your surplus silver! We wan it all.
We need it IN our business. We want
to smooth more fields, open more
mines, build more bridges and cities,
to construct nor roads, and we need
every cent that we can obtain.n What
thenP The Chronicle says it could not
affect the price Of silver at ali, still a
few merchants, by a little temporary
demand, car cause an advance OF three
cents in Mexican dollars. The Chroni.
Gle should be careful not to give away
its case.

From the Eddy Democrat.
Very encouraging reports come from
all parts OF the Pecos valley with re.
gard to the sugar beet crop. The
farmers are caring watcbfully for their
crops and are encouraged with regard
10 their present condition. II can be
seen that the crop is In excellent condi-
ton from the fact that 90 per cent. OF
all the beets sown have made q good
stand.
1t is especially TO be desired on the
part OF The farmers that they cultivate
their beets and keep them free from
weeds. When the crop is choked with
weeds, the farmer loses q large per
cent. Of his profits.

Not q Bloated Aristocrat.

Lord Carmarthen, comptroller Of the
queens household at q salary of $4,0 900
a year, is the eldest son and heir of the
Duke Of Leeds and is as abbreviated in
stature as his father. Whereas the lat
ter is exceedingly portly, Lord Car
marthen is quite the reverse. On one
occasion, when addressing a meeting Of
the electors of Brixton, a London sub
urb which he has represented in par
lament, a certain section Of the audi
ence showed itself indisposed to hear
him. Finally one Of the interrupters
cried out, We want no bloated aris-
tocrats here!' The little marquis pa
thetically turned to his hearers and ex-
claimed: Gentlemen, / must appeal to
you. ] may be an a~ristocrat, but do !
look bloated?" Which retort turned the
laugh against the interruptes and scored
one for Lord Carmarthen, San Fran
cisco Examiner.

PROTECTION,
~BI-METALLISM,
STATEHOOD.
WEDNESDAY EVENING. AUG. 10, 1895
FOR PRINCIPLE AND SUCCESS

To all those who have been giving
themselves uneasIness as to what the
political course of THE OPTIC is, we
desire to say that sincs we have no
voice in the election of president, we
are combining our labors to the good OF
the party in this Territory. The stand
we have taken is the same that we
have adhered to ever since the paper
was started, and that we are now work
ing for our principles and the success
of the party in New Mexico, rather
than against our own views and fol
the success of a few federal Office.
seekers.
The two great cardinal principles Of
the republican party in all years past
have been, protection and bi-metallism,
and it is the duty of every republican
in New Mexico to work to the end that
men representing these principles be
elected to fill the public offices.
We confess that we are unable to
understand the operation Of a mind or
conscience which can be twisted round
by the opinion of every one it meets,
and accept ideas one day that are dia-
metrically opposed to those it held and
announced the day before. The most
contemplate figure in modern history
is John G. Carlisle, who sold his opin-
ion to hold an Office. We shall be
ashamed of the republicans of New
Mexico If that party contains any Car
isles, who will deny their principles
for the mere advance smell of an office.
The course of some of the federal Of
fee seekers has already driven some of
the best republicans in the Territory
out of the party, and but for the
straightforward course of THE OPTIC,
hundreds OF others would have left, be-
iieving that the party was going to de-
sert its principles. This is no time to
push away good men who for a gener-
alton have been conscientious workers
for the right; rather we should invite
all good men to join US for protection,
BIZ metallism and statehood. We need
them all. This is no holiday cam.
paign. With the strongest possible
candidate We will have to work hard to
gain the victory, under the handicap of
the unfortunate action at St. Louis.
The man who would drive any repub-
lican away is an enemy of the party
and an aide of the democrats. II we
should lose the election by a few hun
dred votes, it will be easy to put a
finger on the cause of the defeat.
THE OPTIC knows from personal in
formation that its patriotic cause has
already saved to the party at least 800.
votes. Before the election that num-
Der will be greatly increased. What
v be the result, we will have done
u whole duty 10 the party and the
Territory.
