THE HORTICULTURAL FAIR.

The Territorial horticultural fair, which
occupied the most of last week in Santa
Fe, was very important as we'll as
most enjoyable affair. From every poin,
of view it was an entire success. As ar
exhibition of fruits, it surprised the mos,
enthusiastic friends of New Mexico, and
was pronounced by those most expe.
rienced in similar displays to be superior
in quality to any previous fruit exhibit
in the whole country. During the course
of the fair it was visited by those familiar
with the American institute fairs in New
York, with the state fairs of the east, as
well as with those of Colorado and Cali.
fornia, and all ooncurred in awarding this
mead of praise.
OF course there are MANY exhibitions
which are larger, and there are those which
excel in the variety and quality of some
particular fruit; but there is none which
includes such splendid showing of fruits
of all kinds.
Some states are celebrated for their
apples, as New York, Michigan aud Mis-
souri,; but they can make no exhibition
Of Plums, apricots and nectarines. Other
states, like New Jersey, Delaware and
Georgia produce magnificent peaches,
but they are deficient in other fruits.
California makes splendid display of
its citrus product, but its apples are very
inferior. Our horticultural fair is pro.
nounoed by all as the most comprehen-
sive and evenly balanced exhibition of

corded edge are n favorite trimming, or q

silk.
If the petticoat shows a tendency tc
push out in front, too common fault,
an elastic may BIO run through casing
sewed across the back breadths. This will
draw the inconvenent fullness toward the
back. The length of the petticoat should
be the same all around.
Brilliantine and moreen are very good
materials for servioeable petticoats, but
the cutting and fitting should be done as
carefully as in the case of more costly
goods. Wooden lace and bias ruffles or
bands Of velvet are a suitable decoration.

de sole, the skirt being gathered all around
at the waist. The foot is trimmed with
five little festooned ruffles edged with
white guipurc. The upper part of the
close bodice is covered with five ruffies like
those on the skirt and closes at the left
side under large bows of cherry satin. The
wrinkled corselet is also of cherry satin, as

THE NEW MEXICAN AS A PROPHET.

Recent dispatches from London say:
"The English provincial newspapers, as
though moved by common impulse, are
now engaged in benz gaming the ruinous
effects of American competition on the
Welch tin platers. They admit that the
American made plates are modestly be-
ginning to creep Tito this market, but
deny that this is the cause of the closing
of several big works here. That, they
say, was necessitated by the suicidal ac-
tion of the men IN demanding increased
wages. The famous Wolverham pton firm
of electrical engineers, much franker than
the Welchmen, announce that they soon
ton in their particular line increases
at the present rate of progress, while
British workmen persist in demanding
As hours as working week. The
firm shows that Americans carried off
"the following important tramway cleo
trical equipment contracts in the face
of English tenders: Dublin, Bristol
Coventry, Sydney, Brisbane aud other
colonial and home undertakings. In
fact, Americas success against English
engineers has been astonishing"
One hears similar talk In score of i'm
portant trades formerly monopolized by
the British.
Seven years ago the manufacture Of
tin plate was an unknown art in the
United States. The Mckinley tariff be.
came law on October l, 1890, but it
was not until July l, 1891, that the duty
on foreign tin plates of 2 2 10 cents per
pound took effect. The present presi
dent had been gerrymandered out of his
seat in congress- by the Democrats, but at
the next gubernatorial election he was
elected governor of Ohio. During the
camp aign the platform of the Democracy
seemed to be that tin plates could not be
manufactured in America. That several
mills were in active operation turning
out hundreds of pounds per day, that
American tin was for sale in every hard.
ware store had no effect on these patri-
otto gentlemen, they went on insisting
that it could not be done and they tore
the language all to ribbons in denounc-
ing any one who had the temerity to as
sert that Americans had either the skill
or ingenuity to do what Welchmen had
been doing for many years. Our Taos
statesman, the then delegate, flung himself
into the heat of the fray on the Demo
cratic side of course, and if he won no
laurels be lost none as he had none to
lose. The New MEXICAN is proud to say
that it it took the Republican side, which
means the American side, and predicted
as no mechanical industry was beyond

THE failure of j. +. Willard & Co.,, of
New York, which involved over 81 ,000,-
600, was due to foolish disregard of the
revival of business all over the land
Thinking theb the rise in the prices oil
grain and stocks were based upon wind
the firm went "short" on all manner of
securities, and then had the wind taken
out of their sails, by prices going one
notch higher than their capital could
hold up. The moral is plain: Don't

oar ingenuity we could aad would make
all the tin which our people needed and
the prophesy ia more than verified.
Some days since we noted the sale of
10000 tons of American steel rails to a
railroad company away off in British In
Ola; later We reported large sale TO an
Irish company, in both instances beating
the British in price and quality; then the
New MEXICAN assumed the prophetic role
again and said that in all probability it
would soon be reporting sales of rails in
England, and 10! the realization of the
prophesy again, as witness the above
London dispatch.
Ii ia not remarkable that we should
beat England in the manufacture of
steel rails as we have been making
them for 80 years and that time
is long enough to enable American me-
chancs to overtake and pass the English
OF any other people. But it is very re-
markable that we could take to Us an
entirely new industry out of England's
hands and then beat her in seven years,
but we have done it. Who has done it?
Why the Republican party with its un-
bounded faith in American pluck, skill
and enterprise has done it. There is Just
this difference between these two parties;
the Democrats say we can't and they
don't; the Republicans say We can and
then we do. Hence the Democratic party
is party of failure and the Republican
is parry of success.

Gray costumes, always in good taste,

attractive by trimmings and Innings Of

plastrons or blouses Of white silk or lace.
, Gray ruches and Eoas and collarettes Of
gray ostrich plumes are also feature of
the prevailing mode
Skirts trimmed so as to give the open
effect are becoming more numerous every
day. Ruches, ruffles and bands of velvet
or ribbon are arranged to form round OF
pointed tablier and are either carried COM
pletely around the skirt, rising higher at
the sides or back, or are taken up to the
waistband, where they terminate. This
style of decoration Is seen in at least half
of the newest models and is employed for
both plain and elegant gowns. Irregular
trimming and varieties placed only at one
side are also employed.

While the sheriff of Whipsaw county was
standing in front of the Jail one morning
he was startled by a great commotion 60

in a terrific fight in one of the cells. After
they had been separated and quiet restored
the sheriff demanded the cause of the
fracas and one of the prisoners replied:

preferred and arc combined with blue,
