If the lack of interest continues, the
mi3-winter carnival which has been
talked of for some time past, will go
the way of all other enterprises which
have been proposed to further the in
terests of the city, and will result in q
fiat failure.

encouragement, and putting their
shoulders to the wheel and talk the car
nival up, simply dampen an ardor that
has been raised in others by declaring
that the project can never be carried
into effect, and accept failure as a fore
gone conclusion. These sort of men
are of no particular good to any COM
munity.
1t is said that Ell Paso could never
accommodate the people that would
come here, the hotel accommodations
being inadequate, and cite thousand
other reasons why the carnival could
not be a success. If Las Vegas could

proportions, and with so many rooming
houses, restaurants, etc., could handle
the crowd which would come here to
Ell Paso: house them comfortably, and
provide an abundance of food.
THE COMMITTEE MEETING.
When the Carnival committee met
in Judge Hunters Office yesterday aft
ernOon, only three members were pres
ent. Messrs. Stewart. Powers and Mar
tinez.
Mr.. Powers reported the success he
and Mr.. Stewart had met with in call
ing on the railroad companies. They
all promised to make reduced rate
from various points along their lines
and would do all within their power to
bring the people to Ell Paso.
Another meeting has been called for
Monday afternoon at five O'Clock in
Judge Hunters Office.
A very good suggestion made by Mr..
Martinez at the meeting yesterday, was
that the committee should call on
number OF the leading merchants and
learn their views ETC., to see if they
were really in favor of holding the car
nival, before any definite steps were
taken in the collection of moneys.
This will bs done between now and |
Monday and when the committee again |
meets the report of this canvas will be
made and If unfavorable no further
'teps will be made to hold a mid whit
ar carnival.

WONDERFUL KNIVES

There is a knife at Sheffield which is
very remarkable. 1t is not longer than
thumb nail, and yet contains 90
blades.
One of the most wonderful knives in
existence has 1870 blades, all having
hinges and springs and closing into
the same handle.
At Windsor castle, among the royal
plate is knife which was presented by
the cutters of Sheffield to George ".
1t is remarkable as having more than
n hundred blades.
The cutters at Sheffield have knife
which is but an inch long when closed,
has 10 blades, beautifully made and
illustrating nearly all the forms ever
given to knife blades. Another speci-
men has 22O blades, all etched with
portraits, landscapes or other artistic
designs.
King Humbert of Italy possesses a
hunting knife the handle Of which is
solid ivory, beautifully carved, and sur
mounted with the royal crown. Its
sheath is of pigskin, mounted in
massive silver chased to match the
knife, with the royal arms of Italy in
bold relief. The price of the knife was
$100, and the case cost another SIS.

Joys OF MATRIMONY.

An Atchison woman is not only a
poor cook and housekeeper, but she
does not laugh at her husbands jokes.
The popular idea of very sensible
woman is one who refuses to turn over
to her husband all the money she
earned before she married.
When there is company the boy of
the family usually says something that
results in his mother giving him a flag
raising as soon as the company has
gone.
An Atchison father says the only
time he gets a front seat in a crowd is
when one of his daughters is married
to 25-cent young man and he does
not want a good view.
If married man compliments a
pretty woman in the presence of his
wife his wife reproves him, and If the
wife is not present the pretty woman
thinks it her duty to reprove him.
A man doesn't feel that his territory
is being infringed upon when some one
compliments his wife. but he does feel
that his rights are being usurped when
others than himself scold her:SAtchi-
son Globe.

MONDAY EVENING, JULY 3 1899

Publishers. always alive to every
interest of the community in which
they live, always neglectful of the
first principles to be applied to
their own business to make it a
success. have been taking mighty
tumble to themselves lately all over
the land. 1t is thought which
makes US rejoice that, editors and
publishers are becoming tired Of be-
ing termed business chumps;" are
tired Of working for the success of
every other business interest save
their own; tired OF being met with
a shrug and sidelong glance, when
they offer opinions on business.
They are asking money for their
time and space; asking money for
labor and eschewing chips and
whetstones. Dear publisher it is
our judgment that it is better to
have 100 paid subscribers than 500
who never pay. The man who won't
pay a newspaper subscription will
never have money to spend with an
advertiser. Demand cash for bus
mess and do half the business and
the end Of the year will find your
banker nodding more graciously
than ever before.

Back OF the right Ct petition is political
history and evolution OF government. The
first amendment 10 the constitution OF the
United States declared right OF petition. But
the present petition industry was not con-
templated in the long contest between rulers
and people which ended in Acknowledgment
OF the right Of petition
Within the memory OF present officials OF
congress petitions have multiplied one hun
dred- fold. Where there were ten petitions
twenty years ago there are thousand now.
Petitions have ceased TO represent the vol
uutary exercise OF the right They are now
product Of American manufacture. The
rapidity with which the product is increas-
ing makes it only 4 question OF time when

printing Of the petitions by title has become

longer wastes time with the public presen-
tation Of these petitions. but provides box
into which they are dropped. on the back
daily list Of the contents OF the box appears.
The senate s,ill permits the introduction OF
these petitions, nut will hardly do SO much
longer. Last session the reading OF the pc
titions by titles consumed much time and
many columns of the proceedings.
The manufacture OF petitions is a matter
of pride and profit with those who conduct
it, There is one man in Washington who
writes Rev" before his name and ID. d"
after. who earns an income equal to that
paid many pastors OF metropolitan churches
by the manufacture Of petitions. He seeks
for subjects for reform, prepares the blank
petitions addressed TO congress and sends
the printed forms in bundles 10 various parts
Of the country, making use OF church and
benevolent organizations. The petitions are
passed around, signed and mailed back 10
the senators and representatives, TO be pre-
sented 10 congress. This goes on year after
year From Washington public sentiment,
which finds expression in petition signing is
worked UP, and the petitions come by the
mail l-bagtul. for supposed influence on legis-
lation. The man who does all this creates
in the minds OF good people confidence in
his usefulness. which prompts them to con-
tribute through their organizations a hand
