AMERICAN TRADE AGGRESSIONS.
Oontesting England's Monopoly Of Trade
with India.
London Evening News.

The necessity of a vigorous CONNER
cial policy like that of our government
in China has just received a striking
illustration in India. The trade of the
United States of America with our East
ern possessions is cutting into that of
British manufacturers so seriously that
a New York journal a reg
ular direct steamship service thence to
India. Even if this is premature, the
facts are serious enough. Contracts for
no less than rs 1000 tons of steel rails for
India have been given to American
manufacturers, who propose to dispatch
their consignments at regular intervals,
so as to begin the direct steamer service.
Apart from this, the United States has
ousted Manchester from the Red Sea
and Somaliland trade in piece goods.
The cotton cloth is carried by regular
liners to Liverpool and Marseilles, and
thence by cramps" to the Red Sea
ports. For this a regular through SER
vice would be an advantage. Then the
American trade in kerosene oil to India
is enormous, but it is becoming under
mined by the cheaper stuff from Russia
carried in bulk, and that rivalry would
be met by regular steamers.
All over India, American oil tins are
now to be found applied to other useful
purposes. Petroleum, imported chiefly,
has taken the place of indigenous castor
and %cocoanut oils for lighting. India
last year sent the states five times more
than it received in the form of hides and
jute, raw and manufactured chiefly. 1t
will certainly pay well for New York to
run cargo steamers direct to Calcutta for
tho jute and hides of Bengal, to Madras
for the products OF the cocoa-palm, and
to Ceylon and Alden for plumbago and
miscellaneous goods, while importing
into these places her kerosene cheaply
in bulk, and her piece goods, which are
preferred as both more durable and
cheap than those of Great Britain. The
American houses who enjoy the benefits
of our free trade and good government
in the east arc only less keen than the
Germans, who abuse us, and are quite
as numerous. The Scottish firms are the
sufferers comparatively.

On the 4th instant a hearing took
place before Governor Otero under the
provisions of chapter l, Session Laws of
1893. wherein Mr.. Thomas J.. Bull, a
member of the board of regents of the
Agricultural college was to show cause
why he should not be removed from the
Office he held for dereliction of duty.
Solicitor General Bartlett appeared for
the territory and A. A. Jones, Esq, Of
Las Vegas, for Mr.. Bull. After consid-
ering everything connected with the
case, Governor Otero yesterday made
an order removing Mr.. Bull from office
and appointing Jacinto Armijo, of Las
Cruces, to fill the vacancy thus caused.
Mr.. Armijo is a native of Dona Ana
county and one Of the best known citi-
zens of southern New Mexico. He is
we'll fitted for the position named. He
has held several elective offices of honor,
profit and trust in Dona Ana county,
among these having been elected pro
bate Judge and member of the legisla'
tive assembly. Politically Mr.. ArmiJc
is a strong Republican and a leader OF
influence and strength. The appoint
ment of Mr.. Armijo to the honorable
position was strongly urged by many
leading citizens and Republicans of the
Third district and will prove very &C
ceptable and pleasing to the people OF
southern New Mexico generally and OF
I Dona Ana county specially.

the most striking metal and jeweled effects
are seen. The plain shell comb without
even carving forms a portion of some Of
the newest evening b~onnets, serving as
the foundation which supports and holds
In place the airy structure Of ribbon and
flowers which forms the bonnet proper.

Under ordinary circumstances mem-
bcrs of the cabinet and of congress are
in duty bound to advance the interests
Of the political parties to which they
belong, in the discharge of their official
duties, but when wal threatens the land,
when %atfronts are placed upon the flag,
political considerations should and must
be lost sight of in unfolding the hands
of the administration, no matter whether
it be Republican, Democratic, or what
not, in any efforts to maintain the rights
of the United States. In this connec-
ton the Washington Times, one of the
most rabid Democratic papers in the
country, says:
Better a thousand times that the
Democratic party, as such, should sink
ever can be said of it in history that it
was not ready at any time to forego its
organization interests to stand by the
flag and the constitution. At this pres
ent time we need patriots more than we
do partisans.'
These are words nobly spoken, and
apply to the Republican party as we'll as
to the Democratic. The love of coun-
try and veneration for the stars and
stripes are not dead in the hearts of the
American people at this time, any more
than in the stirring days that have
passed into history. The universal will
lingness of men in every state and terri.
tory to do battle for the nations honor
~substantiates this statement.
During the past 80 years in the great
commercial centers there has arisen a
spirit which believes that speculation is
the chief end of man and seeks to make
Americans believe that diShonor, shame,
humiliation, should be submitted tC
cheerfully sooner than have the stock
market disturbed. Fortunately thai
spirit dominates a very small proportion
of the people, and should the time comt
for fighting, will be swept away as thu
mists before the north wind. The coun
try needs patriots rather than PARTISAN
just at this particular time, patriots VIII
are patient and thoughtful, slow tt
anger, but mighty in their wrath, ant
the nation is full of them. They be
lieve the administration will act for tn
best interests OF tho country and stan'
ready to support the president in an.
emergency. The p%artisans who thin
otherwise will do we'll to stand from I'm
der when the critical moment arrives.

choice is very fortunate. Mr.. Miles is

The passage Of the bill adding two
artillery regiments to the permanent
regular army establishment is a good
thing, war scare or no war scare. The
extensive coast Notifications of the
country must be manned and the MANY
costly modern high power guns located
in them must be taken care of. The
only way to do this is by an increase of
the artillery and ordnance corps of the
army. The increase is small enough,
amounting to only about LOGO men and
the liberties of the country arc in no
danger whatever, from any such in
crease, although even in the present
crisis, there were o few Democratic
members of the house of representa-
tives, who made themselves ridiculous
and asserted, that the freedom and lib
erty, the constitution and the rights of
the people would be jeopardized by
this small increase of the regular army.
