No npponent Of Mckinley.

Democratic papers over the country
are seeking to make it appear that Sin
certain events" Thomas Bracket Reed
or some other Republican may contest
for the Republican nomination for the
presidency next year. Doubtless, in GER
tain events, several gentlemen would
put in a claim. But events hoped for by
Democrats are not likely to occur. If
President Mckinley should decide to re-
tire to private life at the end Of the
present term the Republican party
could furnish several men whom the
country would willingly trust in prefer
ence to any Democratic candidate who
could be found. But there Is no dispo-
sition to find a substitute for President
Mckinley, and all the adroitness of the
Democrats could scarcely persuade men
as well Informed as Mr.. Reed to take
chances of being sat upon by a party
that believes in letting we'll enough

BRYAN on Record,

The platform of the Iowa Democracy
was fixed up to suit Colonel Bryan, who
went over from Nebraska to see that it
was properly constructed. Among other
things it says that the Philippine war
is "for the subjugation Of a people who
have done nothing worse than to love
liberty and bravely struggle for their
freedom" 1t is well that the attitude of
Bryan is thus defined. He has been
throwing out hints along this line long
enough. The Iowa convention which he
and his followers controlled puts him
and the party of that state on record.
This declaration is a feeler, and if the
assertion that the Filipinos have done
nothing worse than to love liberty meets
with any applause, the phrase may be
repeated in other platforms, and per-
haps be copied by the next national
Democratic convention.

Some of the high and lofty corpora
tons that have trouble by reason of the
men seeking high wages refuse to con
fer with their employees. If capital would
meet labor, as man meets man, a con
cession On the part Of each, sometimes
a very slight concession, would render
an open conflict unnecessary. Two rea-
sonable people, neither Of whom is seek
ing for trouble for the sake of trouble,
ought to reach a conclusion with which
both parties would be satisfied. Some
acts on the part of capital cannot be de-
Tended, and the same may be said of
some acts on the part Of labor, but a
man who wants to do the square thing
should be able to meet a mar who only
demands the square thing and make a
definite arrangement without resorting
to these forcible measures which endan-
ger the welfare Of society.

SOME GOOD JULY FRUITS.
New Mexico College Of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts and Experiment Station.

In Bulletin No. Is, I gave a few of the
earliest fruits, with short descriptions
thereof, and I promised to describe 9TH
ers as the season advanced. During the
month of July several varieties of APP
pies, peaches, plums and pears have
ripened; the best of these include the
following sorts:
Apples, the Yellow Transparent, Syl-
vonian Sweet and Tetofsky; peaches,
Waterloo, Hynes Surprise and Family
Favorite; plum, Royal Hativa; pears,
Lawson and Andre des Portes.
The Yellow Transparent apple ripens
about the 1st Of July, and Is the best
that comes in up to this date. Size, me-
dunn to large, roundish; skin pale yell
low; flesh white, crisp and juicy, pleas
ant sub-acid; excellent, both for eating
and for cooking. 1t should be planted
as a family and commercial sort. Tetof-
sky ripens July u; size medium; round
ish oblate; skin light yellow when fully
ripe; flesh white, crisp, juicy, mild sub.
acid, very pleasant; fruit Of uniform
size; a good cropper; therefore a good
market kind. S%ylvonian Sweet similar
to Tetofsky in shape and color, only
larger; flesh white, juicy, with a mild
sweet flavor; a good marketable apple;
ripens about July rs.
The Waterloo Is the best Of the Alex
ander type of peaches. 1t ripens about
the 1st Of July. Hynes Surprise, al
though not fruiting in the college or
chard this year, Is too good a peach to
be passed by unmentioned. In shape it
resembles the Alexander, but Is some
larger and makes a better appearance.
1t is the first freestone to ripen; al
though a little acid, 1t Is Of very good
flavor, being rich and vinous. 1t Is al
ways in great demand on the market,
and ripens about the Sth of July. Fam
lily Favorite, large oblong; skin light
creamy yellow, shaded with red; hand
some; flesh white, red at stone, firm,
juicy, with highly aromatic flavor; not
very sweet but pleasant; ripens the last
Of July.
Pears: Lawson, medium to large, piri-
form; skin light green and yellow, with
red blush; flesh firm, Juicy; quality only
fair: ripens July 3. Andre des Portes,
medium, piriform, with neck long and
