was as follows: He once gave q supper
to 50 Of his friends and wrote a note To
each Of them privately beforehand, ask

as TO say grace, as no clergyman would
be present II is said that the faces OF
those 50 men as they rose in a body

Powers That Can Exercise Powerful Influence.

When Emperor William went to
Windsor Castle to see his grandmother,
the queen of England, all the world con-
sidered the visit as s%ignifying that the
two countries had become allies with
out any treaty to that effect. On the day
of his reception the town hall at Wind
sor was decorated with the flags Of
States. which is a significant token of
the feeling upon the part of Great Brit
ain that the three nations stand or an
equal footing and have an identity of
interests and kinship that will make
them cooperate in. the future. To-day
they are the three greatest nations, and
so closely allied by blood and associa-
ton that unity is natural. and when it
exists they are an invincible force that
can dictate the future of the civilized
world and win or prevent war;, as they
deem right or to their best interests.
Such relations al exist only so long as
the nations act in good faith.
The Americans desire and will form
NV Iioii "ith Oily POI VI IAlo pC. "
it is we'll for the United States that she
has advanced to the point where her
power has made such great nations as
Germany and Great Britain disposed to
cultivate her friendship and frown upon
jealous neighbors seeking to harrass a
country like this that desires only peace
and non-interference in her chosen field
of action.
Thomas jefferson, in his day, was
counted as great a man at least as any
of the Democrats h now declare
themselves J~effersonian Democrats. but
who pursue opposite policies from those
of the founder of his party. He once
declared hat of all nations England
could do this country the most harm,
and it behooved the United States to
sedulously cultivate the friendship of
thai nation, instead of doing. as some
of the politicians of to-day would have
thisc country do, declare continuous ami
mostly for the British nation. which, it
has come to pass. is the one to take the
initiative in sedulously offering and Gull
tivating friendship with the United
States. AS to alliances, they are good
things to keep out of as a general thing,
but President Washington and the
country were glad enough at one time
to have an alliance with France, when
the war of the revolution was in prog
ress, and afterward President Jefferson
favored one with the same country. 1t
and the possession of them need not in
volve the sacrifice of principle. nor go
ing to war for their defense. No such
result is expected nor required by the
good understanding that has come
about between the Anglo-SaXon nations
and the Teutonic.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
Turkestan Alfalfa For the West-Stock
And Irrigation Industries.

| The forthcoming annual report of the
secretary of agriculture will show a
wonderful progress for this department
duEng the year The duties of the de-
partment have been ~broadened under
the present administration, and new
fields have been occupied which have
never heretofore been touched by the
| government. Several of the lines of new
| work and new Investigations underta-
| ken by Secretary Wilson have proved
extremely popular: the results attained
| are of practical value to farmers, breed
| also been started which will require
| years to complete, as certain investiga-
lions and experiments necessarily occu-
| py a long period before definite results
| can be attained, and in this respect the
| departments researches have the ad-
| vantage over private Investigations in
that they can be carried to completion,
| whereas private work must often cease
before it is half finished.
A plant introduction of last year.
which may prove of millions of dollars
value to western stock raisers is the
Turkestan alfalfa. During the severe
blizzard of last winter nearly all the
common alfalfa of the central west,
Z where this plant is the principal forage
crop, was killed, while the Turkestan
variety is found to have perfectly with
stood this weather. thus proving its
great hardness.
The bureau of animal industry is IA
large institution in itself, and has been
doing some important independent work
in experimenting with cures for animal
diseases. The hog cholera serum cure is
found to have been as effective as at
first anticipated, and will. when gener
ally used. the secretary predicts. save
hog raisers in the west millions of dol
lars annually.
Irrigation investigation has been
made a special feature of the depart
ment's work during the year, and Sec
rotary Wilson himself in his western
trip looked into this subject, and also
studied the problem now agitating the
west as to a proper control of the pub
lie grazing lands.
The secretary has said that the recent
rise in the price of beef was due to the
increased demand, coupled with the di-
minished capacity of the western graz
ing lands, owing to an overstocking and
killing out of the native grasses. He
will make a recommendation that con-
gress allow the western states to lease
these public grazing lands and apply
the rental to irrigation and other i'm
p~rovements. This will allow each enter
to fence and improve his holding, rest
his grass land, and generally improve
the property, which will result in a
greater grazing capacity for the land
and also obviate the present strife
growing out of the open range method.
The department will also stand ready
to assist in this improvement by max
ing tests of arid land forage crops in
different sections and furnishing seeds.

MES that are declared to be members Of
the offending oil trust, whose purpose is
to restrict trade and increase or dimin-

a combination exists. Its practices ex-
tend to every state in the Union, and
are carried on in this territory with
more severity than elsewhere. 50 far as
the prices of oil and gasoline are con-
cerned, 1t is silly to claim that a small
inspection fee fixed for the prevention
of poor oil being shipped into the terri
tory has anything to do with the price
charged to dealers in New Mexico, at
least beyond the I cent per gallon
charged for inspection.

tax coming from the oil trust, it GER

some assurance hat the dangerous
grades Of oil are not sent into the ter

The inspection fee Of l cent is not the

such as dealers in FL Paso and other
Texas points buy at a price that permits
them to sell at from Is to Is cents. The
company charges the robber price in

itor. During the past month this COM
pany has made a raise of , cents per
gallon in the price charged to dealers in
New Mexico. which shows how the
greedy cormorant increases its charges
arbitrarily without regard to local
cause
