The Strike in England.

Great Britain is now agitated by an
obstinate strike of engineers and a
lockout by their employers. 1t is a
very serious struggle and has great in
dustrial importance.
The engineers have long been in
league, and by excellent management
have accumulated large fund which
is now brought into use. The amalga-
mated Society of Engineers and the
brotherhood associations connected
with it have million and half of
dollars saved which they are using in

THE stock growers and business men
generally of New Mexico are much
pleased with the result of the recent

new law has increased the rate of duty

are getting better prices than they
have for years, which gives business a

Senator Plat has served a notice ON
tie national Republican party that a
campaign fund Of not less than So 900,
600 will be necessary to insure a Repub-

requested to come to the rescue of

the present week. No attempt las
been made to conceal the fact that an
appeal has been made to send large
sums of money to New York at once.
and that a gondly portion of The fund
is expected to come from Chicago.
Senator Mason OF Illinois. in an in
terview published in the New York
journal, indorses Platt's call tor
funds. He says:
"The situation ia New York, from a
political view, ia very important. /
believe the Republicans should make
a hard fight, and Mr.. Platt has the
correct idea when he calls for funds
and help from the outside, for lie will

RECIPROCITY.

American sugar producers will nat
urally look with considerable con
Germ upon the active efforts now max
ing by our government to institute
reciprocal relations with several for
eign countries under the conditions
prescribed in the Dingley bill. So
far as those sections are concerned
which refer to articles not produced
in the United States and refer specl
fically to argols. wines, spirits. ETC.,
we are not much interested. When
it to the matter of duties on
sugar, which may be reduced 20 per
cent. with those countries estab.
fishing reciprocal relations with us.
we should find it p very severe blow
to N industry. We shall hardly be
able this season to realize the full
Increase that would be expected from
the increased rate in the duty. because
of the enormous imports Of sugar into
the United States in anticipation of
the increased rates. If IN addition to
this we should have reciprocity trea-
ties bearing upon the next crop, de-
preciating it in like manner, it
wonld be very Disappointing to US all.
AT the present time Germany seems
very much concerned ahout our pro-
posed countervai|ing duties. Tt would
seem almost certain that these duties
would nave a practically p%rohibitiye
effect upon the importations Of beet
sugar into this country and that the
tropical world wouid be canvassed
for cane sugars to supply our wants.
while England would take largely of
the hnlk of the beet sugars.
Efforts are now making in the West
Indies. and especially in Demerara
and Trinidad, looking to the securing
for those colonies of the advantages
proposed by the 20 per cent. dimin-
ution clause on sugars IN the Dingley
bill. The Dutch government must
necessarily be very largely interested
for the sugars it produces in the
island of Java. and in like manner
the Spanish government will be in

DO WE'LL, ACT NOBLY

Looking out from the hampering
environments that surround human
life. under the stress ard clouds Of
misfortune, the workings of natural
laws seem slow in their accomplish
ment. One Of the characteristics of
human nature is Impotence under
restraint. But the laws of nature
that are perfect in their creation,
bring about fulfllment with happy
results that are acknowledged when
the clouds roll by.
Humanity that is finite and mortal
tails to recognize the infinite and i'm
mortal in the accomplishment Of
good. Sitting under the shadow OF
misfortune, and the burdens and cares
of things perishable. mortality fails
to see the CLEAN of light that is OBJ
scured temporarily.
With distress, anxiety, suspense and
exEecati II. sown broadcast over this
southland /, the elements are closely
scanned - note the coming Of relief
from the f'nres of nature. Day unto
day sees the pproach Of the rescuiDg
hosts. B patient. Be vlgilant. Be
tIustful. Be cheerful in adversely.
The day of delive,ance will soon
dawn. 1t is useless to beat the wings
of human Impotence against the iron
bars of time, The suggestion Of
Young in his "Niglt Thoughts is
most appropriate:

Who does the best his circumstance

So Per Year
THE COST OF A BOY.

1t would be a good thing for all
boys, and girls, too, to get some idea
in real fgures-of what their parents
do for them. P. Is. Fisk gives a lee.
ture on the cost of a bov. He com
putes that at the age Of fifteen a good
boy, receiving the advantage of city
lite, will cost, counting compound
interest on the sum invested, not lesa
than 5000. At t%wenty-one he will
not cost any more unless he goes to
college, when he will coat nearly
twice as much. A bad boy costs
about $4,000 at twenty.one, provided
he does not go to college. 1t he does
90. he costs as much more.
Mr.. Fisk thinks that girls are nearly
as expensive as boys. The computa-
ton, however, comprises only the
pecuniary cost of raising a boy. The
value of a mothers tears and the
fathers gray hairs are beyond the
reach of figures to express. The
money side is far the lesser of the
two.

twenty thousand dollars into a boy
