It recalls the fact that the statistician

consumption of wheat in the United
States, and Bradstreet's investigation
showed 53s bushels.

RECEP ZION TO GOV. OTERO.
Meeting of Citizens at Fireman's Hall
for the Purpose Of Arrang ing fora
Reception to the New Governor
Upon His Arrival in This
dIty.

The meeting held last night at Fire
mems hall, for the purpose of arranging
fitting reception of Governor Otero
upon his arrival to take office, was we'll
attended by representative citizens of
Santa Fe, and much enthusiasm was mani
tested.
Mayor Spiess, who called the meeting
to order was made permanent chairman
without dissenting voice, and Mr.. Chas
! Conklin was chosen secretary. Ii did not
take long to decide that reception
should be given the new governor, and that
the event should be made one long to be
remembered by all who attended. After
little preliminary talk motion was
made that the chairman should appoint
committee, of which he should be chair
man, on reception; committee on pro-
gram and arrangements; one on finance
and one on decorations. Mr.. Spiess asked
that he be allowed until this morning to
name the committeeman, which request
was granted. No definite understanding
was arrived at concerning the exercises
of the day, that matter being left to the
committee on program add arrangements,
but it was determined that the citizens
and militia were to unite in carrying out
the program when arranged.
The committees, as appointed by Mayor
Spiess, are as follows:

LOW BIRTH RATE IN FRANCE

An association has been formed in
France with the object of counteracting
the shrinkage Of the birth rate. The pop
ulation of France has arrived at a condi-
ton Of standstill The deaths are as
frequent as the births. Unless some
thing can be done to encourage the
bringing Of more Frenchmen into the
world even the Russian alliance will
hardly avail to maintain the prestige of
the republic.
Among the remedies proposed are the
passage of law reducing taxation in
proportion TO the number of children in
the taxpayers family the imposition of
a surtax in the case of families where
there are more servants than children;
and the education and care of all chill
dren over six in any one family at the
public expense. These propositions
seem fantastic, but they are born OF
very serious conditions. In Germany,
England, Italy, Spain and other Euro
pean states where the people are not
more prosperous or contented than In
France there is a yearly preponderance
of births over deaths. This makes the
French sterility the more remarkable.
1t is a wonder that the inducement
has not been hit upon by the association
having the increase of the birth-rate un-
der consideration of offering a govern
ment premium on marriages.

THE BOLD BANK OF ENGLAND.

The announcement, on the authority
of the London Times that the Bank of
England is to aid silver by holding one
fifth of its reserve in coin Of that metal
is the greatest financial sensation of the
year.
1t is known that great pressure has
been brought upon the bank of late TO
do something for silver, and the effect
of the deposit of silver, it is believed in
many quarters, can have but the result
of raising its price.
1t is charged by the London journals
that this decision of the directors is a
concession to bimetallism and is the
carrying out Of an American suggestion.
But the demoralized condition of the
currency in India and the falling price
Of the white metal generally are more
likely 10 have Influenced the directors,
and there is no telling what potent
English influences may have operated
to bring about the plan.

That such an exalted and Immaculate

to wafer its reserve with the much

faith in it that must shock gold mono
metallists severely all over the world.
But to the bimetallists it naturally
comes as an agreeable surprise from the
most unexpected of sources. If it ac-
composites nothing more than to call
