who didn't dare to do so without such
an excuse. They would have found
such an excuse in any measure sent to

A STORY OF THE FLAG.
Under Protection the Price of Bunting
Has Decreased Fifty Per Cent.

Under Protection the Price of Bunting
Has Decreased Fifty Per Cent.
One of the most interesting pieces of
history connected with the American
flag remains to be told. For 80 years
after the stars and stripes were adopted
they were made of foreign goods. All
through the war of 1912 and the civil
war no American soldier or sailor ever
fought under a yard of American bunt-
ing. No bunting was made i'll this
country for two reasons-tirst, because
nobody knew how to make it, and, Sec
ond, because nobody could make it and
compete with England. General Butler
induced congress in 1865 to put tariff
of 40 per cent on bunting, and man
was sent to England to learn how to
make it, and when he returned 10 looms
were put in operation, and then OH Feb.
"a, 1866, notable event occurred in
Washington. The first American flag,
made of American bunting, was hoisted
over the national capitol. The flag was
21 feet by 10 feet and was the gift Of
General Ben Butler.
We said there were IL looms engaged
in making bunting in 1865. Well, that
was good many then, but in ~ years
afterward there were 10, 900 looms max
ing the same article.
Under free trade in bunting we paid
from $25 to $50 bale for the goods,
and under protective tariff the price
fell to $16 for first class article

LABOR IN RUSSIA.

Strange stories continue to come from
Russia. The recent announcement that
some degree of religious federation WAS to
be allowed in that country is followed by
the report that there is to be reform of
che hours of labor in Russia. Hitherto q
working day for Russian lRborers, men
and women, was extended from IA to 16
hours. Boys under Is years of age have
worked for eight hours, including Sundays
and holidays.
Now it is announced by the new labor
law that in day work the hours must not
extend beyond II 8, and on Saturdays
and days preceding holidays ten hours
shall constitute day. The new law re-
stricts night work to eight hours.
When Nicholas IL came to the throne
something was expected of him in, the
way of lifting the burdens that rested on
Russia. 1t was believed that he was not
cowardly despot like his father, nor q
brave and bold tyrant by nature like the
first Nicholas. There were fears, how
ever, based probably on his delicate
physical appearance, that he would not be
bold enough to advocate or carry out in
novations; to face the Holy Synod, for
instance, and its indomitable chief. But
if Nicholas has in good faith granted the
rights of conscience in any degree or
listened to the voice of the laborers he has
more than fulfilled public expectations.
The czar, it should be remembered, has
not much to encourage him. Alexander II
emancipated the serfs and was murdered
in the street by people who professed to
be the friends of liberty. Neither did the
serfs, when emancipated, fulfill any of the
promises made for them. Perhaps not
much should have been expected of a
| population of whom not one in 200 could
read. In any event, the emancipated sert
has remained a drunken and improviden.
creature, apparently not able in the twi-
light of Russia to distinguish freedom
from slavery. The question is now, wha'
will the Russian laborer do with the free
hours he has been granted? Will he ust
them in getting drunk or in learning
something's
There is needed in Russia something
which, it is quite possible, the ear, will

MAKING NEW WORDS.

1t is now generally conceded that Eng
lish ia destined to become the universal
language of the globe. Many more or
less perfect languages like Yolapuk have
been invented to supply this need, but
the world has Sc emingly little use fer
them, since the indomitable push and
force Of the English race has spread the
language until 1T is now spoken by about
one half of the civilized world. But,
while spreading, the English of today is
leading US away from the old English and
Angl o. Saxon of our forefathers, and
takes in so much from other languages
that it is already an omnum gatherum.
Ours has become tongue that no man
can master. We hear of linguists who
profess to speak from half dozen to q
dozen or more languages, but where is
the man who can speak and use correctly
one half of the 100000 words now ac-
credited to English speech? He does not
exist. Life is too short, and memory too
evanescent for anyone to acquire so
many words.
And yet despite this seemingly unneces,
sary increase of words, who is there that
| does not Welcome with interest new
word to his vocabuaryH There is a
fascination about brand new word that
is irresistible. How we welcomed "phal
auxed," "eIectrocute" and "cabegram" as
they came into use! We are prone to
prefer the new words to the old, and
many men and women find a pleasure in
introducing a word not familiar to the
average individual. Such word is
"thon," a contraction of "shat one" pro-
posed in 1858 by Charles Crozat Converse
of Erie, Pa, as substitute for the
clumsy combinations she or she," "him
or her." etc., as in the sentence: "The
child must be taught to study thon's les
SON." The word is so convenient that it
is a wonder that it remains new to most
people. The want of it caused the Unit
ed States Supreme court once upon
time to render decision that "hs" IN a
law should be construed "his or her." 80
that women might be as amenable to the
law as the male lawmakers themselves.
This ruling allows writer's of laws TO
to avoid the use of CHS or her." ETC.,
every time personal pronoun has to be
used. But in everyday use the ruling of
the courts does not count, and we need
to use "thon" every day of our lives.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Increased Industrial Activity Reported
From All Directions.


From All Directions.
From all sections Of the country
come reports of increased activity in all
lines Of business. Factories and found
ries that have lain idle for many months
will again be started up and additional
labor will be employed i'll those that
have been running Oh reduced time
with smaller force. The change has
come almost within few weeks. Hope
was revived by the election of Major
Mckinley as president, but the we'll
known difficulty of Fastening through
congress a tariff bill has delayed realiza-
ton. As it becomes more plain that
home industries are really to be protect
ed from the competition Of the foreign
er new life is being infused into Ameri-
can enterprises. Uncertainty chills
trade.
The conviction that four years OF pro-
lection are to be ours has made business
men once more willing to enter into en-
gagements for the future. The depres-
sion following the recent free trade ex-
pertinent has taught us costly lesson.
In the railway service alone over $780,
900 men were thrown out of employ
ment because the mills, factories and
all industrial enterprises no longer fur
nished tonnage. If country is pros
porous, it's railroads prosper. They are
the great distributors. The money they
receive is all but very small portion
spent in the public service. Interest on
bonds and dividends on stocks are but
the commission charged by the disburs-
ing agent. In most cases this commits
sion is far below the ruling rate.
Protection will put money in circu-
lation that is held now by capitalists
too prudent to undertake to compete
with the products of foreign pauper la
Dor. Men now idle will once more find
employment in the shops and factories
and on the railroads. The employment
of these men will bring business az
we'll to the storekeeper, and the farmer
will again find more profitable de-
mand for his products.

THE cable announced recently that
Baron Won Thielman, the German am
bassador who was recalled for the pur-
pose of being put at the head of the inan-
cial affairs of the German empire, was in
disgrace because of his recent newspaper
interviews, in which he did too much
talking for shrewd diplomat. The only
mistake the German diplomat made was
to forget to disavow what had been at
tributed to him. Baron Won Thielman
is most exemplary man in this par.
ticular, compared with several other
diplomats who might be named.
Take the case of the Spanish minister,
for instance. That gentleman is too
foxy at this stage of the trouble in Cuba
to rush into print and get himself in bad
odor at the state department., but if all
reports be true, he has been doing lot
of talking about the clubs and in the
drawing rooms of certain citizens, where
the diplomats have entree, in preference
to representatives of good American
families. II the half that has been at
tributed to Mr.. De LONE in the way of
criticism Of this government in oonnec.
tion with the war in Cuba is true, he
should have been IN disgrace with this
government long ago.

The Spanish government is in state of
dire confusion and alarm, brought about

and internal dissension as we'll as from

thoroughly and honestly enforced and
extended wherever practicable" This is
what the president did by his recent civil
service order prohibiting the removal of
men and women from positions except
upon written charges and permitting
them to have an opportunity to reply to
these charges wherever made. But in this
connection, it may well and truly be
stated, that this civil service business can
be very easily and quickly overdone.
Good business sense and good business
methods demand, that federal officials
should have employees under them, whom
they know, whom they can trust and who
are efficient and able. In New Mexico
for instance, the federal offices are filled
| with clerks who have been selected with
out examination, without known fitness
| for the positions which they now fill and
very often for purely political and per-
sonal reasons.
In such cases, changes should be made
and that rapidly. The good of the ser
vice and the best interests of the govern
ment demand such changes. The NEW
MEXICAN could cite at moments notice
20 or more instances.
The new federal officials in New Mexico
should carry out the spirit and the letter
of the civil service regulations, but they
should also with the utmost promptitude
decision and alacrity get rid of incompe
tent and unworthy clerks and fill their
places with competent and trust worthy
employees.
