States at all hsgards, whstever conflicts
she may have with other nations. The
dependence of the English on this ooun'
try for their meats and their bread sup
plies, not only for home consumption,
but for their armies operating in distant
countries, is an absolute guarantee of
perpetual peace between the two coun-
tries. The English people could not es-
cape a disastrous famine if American
foodstuff supplies we're shut off for few
months. Therefore, hostilities between
this country and England are simply i'm.
possible, from England's point of view.
Even war between England and any
other strong European country would
make it such difficult matter for Eng.
land to obtain food supplies that it ia
questionable whether she would dare to
enter upon conflict of that sort.
The United Kingdom certainly is in a
very anomalous position, in maintaining
great army and great navy, when it is
so completely dependent on foreign
sources of supply for that the specter
of impending famine makes it practical
ly im possible for the nation to enter in
to conflict in which it's great war forces
would be called into operation.

The Old Admiral Relented.

"While Admiral Porter was in command
of the Mississippi squadron and at time
when they were most actively engaged,
said Captain Lloyd G. Harris of St. Louis,
"a young ensign made his appearance on
the flagship and astounded the admiral by
asking him for leave Of absence. Why,
sir, roared Porter, don't you understand
that no officer can leave at this time, nc
matter who he is or what his excuse?'
But admiral, it is case of life and
death. / must 60
But you can't go. 1t is impossible
"'Please hear me, Admiral Porter.
When L entered the service, was engaged

Illinois. have just got word that one OF
those miserable home guards has been
courting her, and my friend says it looks
as though if l don't come back pretty soon

under the circumstances, you might lei

leave, went home and married the girl in

AN ExPATRIATeD AMERICAN.

In speech made at public dinner a
few dayS ago, George W. Smalley, the
American correspondent of the London
Times, told the Americans number of
things which they should know and re-
member. Mr.. Smalley was born in
America, renounced the land of his birth
and became to all intents and purposes
an Englishmsn, and in his address lauded
England and everything British, and de-
precated America and everything Amer
lean.
Without any intention of being in the
least personal the remark can be made,
on strictly general principles, that it is
somewhat difficult to imagine more
loathsome creature than an expatriated
American who has lost the power to see
anything good or great in the land of his
birth, and whose lickspittle veneration
worships at the shrine of its foreign
rivals and enemies. Mr.. Smalley may
not be a man of that kind, but if he be
not, he should not have made remarks
which called for protest from Senator
Hswley, of Connecticut, who was present
at the dinner. Said Mr.. Smalley:
"Our sermonizing about Armenia, our
sermo onizing about Greece, out continued
provocation to Spain about Cuba, our re-
version and perversion of the Monroe
doctrine of defense and not of offense,
and finally our proposition to annex
Hawaii has convinced continental powers
that their best policy is to unite against
this country For their own preserve
tion they will have to adopt policy
of cooperation against the United
States"
From the abstract it will be seen
that this expatriated native contemns
about everything that Americans believe
in or want. We need not discuss the
sentiments expressed, beyond remarking
that we fully sympathize with the Amer
ioa gentlemen who we're forced to listen
to them, and except to say that we thank
Mr.. Smalley for his Photographic presen.
tatlon OF British opinion. Representing
nothing else, he does represent and voice
that, and it is highly Instructive to the
high priests of the holy gospel of hypo-
critical British arbitration to learn from
his month exactly what our dearly be-
loved cousins are after. We must aban.
don all idea of the Monroe doctrine.
We must not think of building the
Nicaragua canal. We must leave Ha-
waii to England. We may not dare to
object to Turkish barbarities in Arme.
MIA, nor to the hideous and unspeakable
atrocities of Spain in Cuba. We muet
be good and do just what the LondoL
Times and Great Britain demand of us,
and leave the control of the seas, the
commerce of the world, and everything
else of value to our transatlantic rela-
tives,

STATEHOOD FOR NEW MEXICO.

A recent issue of the Rocky Mountain
Christian Advocate contained an articl.
on statehood for New Mexico in which
the following appeared:
There is no doubt whatever that New
Mexico has all the natural resources nee
essary to a prosperous commonwealth.
1t has vast mineral resources. The GOLD
bearing properties have been depressed
by the twofold reason that there has been
little railroad facilities, while the absence
of water has made it i'm possible to reduce
the ores in bulk to position where the
heavy wagon transportation could bt
profitable. But the completion of the
new railroad into the White Oaks coun-
try, samples of whose ores run into fabu-
lous figures, will open Golconda, while
other districts will be brought within
reach of the capitalist should the Sants
Fe aud Gulf roads push their new lines
along already projected surveys.
The statistics of its wool and cattle in
dustries, the lead mines at Cooks Peak
and else where, the vast deposits of cop
per that are believed to lie near the Ari-
zona frontier, and the rich farms and
orchards Of the Pecos valley, are eloquen,
arguments in favor of the resources of
New Mexico as desiring place in the
sisterhood OF the Union.
A difficulty has been encountered 10
perfecting land titles. The original
stiles to lands inhered 10 the crown of
Spain, and the history of titles to land is
among the romancss of the Spanish oc.
cupation. But the land courts have been
perfecting titles. Particularly during
the past few years decisions of the land
court have opened large tracts for settle
mept, and We have the firm conviction
that the next few years will see popula.
tion turn tina. way. Not even in Cali
fornia have we seen euch prodigality of
production, even to waste, as in the orch-
ards of New Mexico.
The territory already has the requisite
population, and unlike Nevada, which w
believe has diminished, the population
here is certain to increase many fold. And
We re peat what the Advocate has repeat
edly intimated, that among the prom oters
of the new New Mexico are some Of the
best types of western energy and char
acter, psrmeated with the modern spirit,
optimistic and patriotic.
The educational foundations of the ter.
ritory are excellent, at any rate 10 promise
of good things to come. There is uni
versity, an agricultural college, two nor
NAL schools, 4 military school and we'll
equipped school of mines. In certain
aspects these schools are still embryonic,
but that is immaterial, for IL is significant
not that they have yet succeeded, but that
they havc begun.
In addition to all this, the illitsracy OF
the territory has been brought down.

An Effective Cheap Material - How to
Conceal Unpleasins Paper.
Burlaps, once despised as the most
roughly utilitarian of all cloth, has gradu-
ally won attention to itself and has now
risen to the unquestioned position of an
art fabric and a factor in upholstery. 1t
Is really one Of the most effective Of cheap
materials for curtains, portieres and wall
covering, and since the eyes Of the public
have been opened to its artistic possibili-
ties manufacturers bring 1t out in great
variety of colors, both plain and figured.
When employed for curtains and portieres,
it ought always to be lined, as the folds
thus appear rounder and softer. The heav-
Ter the lining the better.
Rnrlaps in fancy colorings usually has
a glazed finish, different from the dull,
natural surface Of the common sort used
for bagging. The rough bagging is, how
ever, often preferred as a wall covering,

The awarding of $464 900 to the Cana

A GUARANTEE QE PEACE.

1.-THE possibility of armed trouble be-
tween this country and Great Britain over
any of the diplomatic questions now
pending between the two powers be-
comes very slight when England's de-
pendency upon the United States for
food supplies is known. &c, r,ss
Recently packers in the different cities
received request from the British gov
ernment to make bids for furnishing
100000 pounds of canned meats for the
British army. There s nothing unusual
in this, for the United States has been the
chief source of the English supply of
meats for many years. The people Of
the United Kingdom consume In the
neighborhood of $l2O,OoO,OOo OF Ameri-
can msats every year, to say nothing Of
breadstuffs and other products.
This quiry for prices on canned meats
serves to call attention to the extent to
which the great English nation is de-
pendent on land 5000 miles away for
Its foodstuffs, and it also shows the won-
derful development of the trade of the
world in recent years. The special order
for which the British government now
asks bids is for meats to supply the army
in India. England sends 5000 miles
westward across the sea, and more than
1000 miles into the interior to obtain
meats that are to be sent 5000 miles east
OF the kingdom, to supply an army Of
occupation in Asia. No single incident
could more plainly illustrate the depend
enos Of the greatest power on the globe
upon distant land for the necessities Of
life.

Though all the while the youth averred
That he would have to go,
But he didn't, he didn't, he didn't.

And she was like to drop"
And Harry seemed to think his arm

And Katie was in such alarm
She said that he must stop,
But he didn't, he didn't, he didn't.
And as he held her to his breast
And thought Of what he'd missed,
With Katie waiting in her nest,
Just longing to be kissed,

ity, ws stated some weeks ago that the
IlliteraOy of New Mexico Is 70 per cent.
But Superintendent Thomas Harwood, D.
D., of Albuquerque, replies to our ques-
tion by stating that 70 per cent is the
figure of former census, that the last
brings 1t to less than As per cent. DR..
Harwood ia staunch believer in state
hood.
Those who are alarmed at the prospect
of statehood concede and glory in all
this, and they appear to be as anxious
for statehood as any one. Their obi jec-
tion to present statehood is that the
political conscience and integrity in the
state are not yet sufficiently ready for it.
They believe that statehood at present
would inject into politics a vast pur-
chsseable and ignorant vote, and that
the bosses who would own and vote that
vote would, at the present moment, de-
grade rather than assist the new state.
They believe that for financial and
political reasons the territory better re-
main temporarily where 1t is. We note
this not as an expression of our own
conviction, for we do not feel warranted
in forming one, but as n phase of en-
phatic opinion concerning statehood.
We know that it is entertained by some
whom we believe to be among the truest
friends New Mexico has. That there ia
an element of hazard probably no one
will deny.
Still it may be wise, Immediately. There
are strong reasons for thinking SO. We
believe in the new New Mexico. We be-
lieve in the high parpose of a number of
its daily papers. We are certain that
statehood will come. Let ii como in the
best time. If it is best, we sincerely hope
that statehood will come at once.
