The carnival advertising car return
ed last night over the Texas & Pacific
after a trip to almost every part of
the state.
]. A. Granam, who had charge of the
car on the trip. says he passed through
271 stations and stopped a while in
many of them. He says that the car
every point and he thinks that thous-
ands of people will come out to see the
big show.
I'VE put out advertising at every
station" said Mr.. Graham land 1 am
sure the result will be great. This is
the only show ever given in Texas that
was advertised by railroad car ex-
cept the state fair at Dallas, and the
fact alone that car covered the en-
tire state in the interest of the car
Eival has led people to think that it
is going to be the greatest show ever
given in the state.
AT every town we shot off fire works
and had music and otner things that
brought the crowds out to see the car.
and everybody l talked to said they
were coming. We reached Houston on
the big day of the flower carnival and
we covered every inch of the city with
advertising. l never saw people so
interested in a show before and the
only question with me is finding stand
ing room for the crowds
he car went out over the Ell raso
& Northeastern this morning under
charge of Mr.. Earl of Alamogordo, who
will take it as far out as Tularosa. 1t

THE SECRET OUT

Mrs. Dewey ia said to nave confded
to a few intimate women friends that
while she and the admiral are travel
ing this spring they will ascertain the
feeling of the public toward Admiral
Dewey and the presidency and decide
whether he will be a candidate.
Mrs. Dewey does not deny her am
bition to be the first lady In the
land" and says that while Admiral
Dewey was averse to running for Office
before his marriage he is such a de-
voted husband that he will crafty her
by accepting the presidency if the
country desires to bestow it upon him.
When one of the women to whom
this remark was made asked Mrs. Dew
q candidate she replied n%aively: 81
don't see that it makes any difference,
because he will be supported by all the
people. He is a republican and l am a
democrat, so that will be a standoff."
The admiral's wife is giving the poll
ticians some anxious hours, though
the admiral himself said last Novem-
/ err:
| have never wanted to be president.
l would not under any circumstances
be a candidate for the Office. When
the subject was first preached after the
battle of Manila | made up my mind [
would not think Of such a proposition. [
have never had my determination up
on the point weakened at all. l do not
think General Grant added to his fame
by becoming president. He had no
previous training in politics. Neither
have [ had. Neither have 1 any poll
tical ambitions. 1 would NOS, there
fore, run for the presidency under any
consideration.
1t appears that it Is Mrs. Dewey who
is doing all the running. The admiral
m arches along like any obedient hus-
band will. They are marching through
Georgia now.

fiscal year which ends with June next.
When the republican party came into
power in 1851 and inaugurated the
protective system as q permanentpoltcy
they were barely $40, 600, 900 per n
Then manufactures amounted to II per
cent of the total export; now they
form 30 per cent of the enormously In
creased total. Yet there are people
who will eravely tell you that the
country can never have a prosperous
foreign trade SO long as it retains a
protective tariff.

PROF. ELIHU THOMSON has pend
ing, ready for issue, notes q Lynn
paper, a patent On what he calls the
"sun furnace" which he claims Is
adaptable to smelling ores and genera
ting heat far i~ntenser than the electric
furnace. Metallurgists say that it is
well adapted to glass making and
the manufacture of carbide. The ap-
~plication made by Prof. Thomson is a
wide one, and after carefully studying
it at the patent Office, he has been
granted a patent on a complete novelty.
The Invention is likely to interest
mining men and large smelters Of ore.

com mitsee composed Of representatives
Of the popocratic and sill YER republican
parties went to Japan for the purpose
of r sporting to the people of the United
States upon the workings of the gold
standard il that country, but somehow
their report was never heard of. Now
the Japanese minister of finance comes
to the f ont with an elaborat, official re.
port in which he say the gold standard
has been Of great adva1ta ye to all
Glasses In Japan. which fact may &C
count for the, failure OF the self-appoint-
ed commission of American patriots to
find material with which to report
against the gold standard.

The scarcity Of American merchan,
vessels was only too palpable during
our war with Spain. But the Boer
trouble has intensified it by absorb
ing British transatlantic liners, delay
ing our and hiudering the
quick transportation of our foreign
nails. We should be as independent
on the sea as we are on land. We can
beat the world in manufacturing and
land transportation, but we lack the
facilities for transporting our goods

has been the announcement by the
treasury department of the
details of our foreign com
merce during the mont OF Feb
ruarv. This shows that our export
trade continues to grow with amazing
rapidly and that the F, bruary expole
are not only larger than those of any
preceding February IN cur history,
but such as ID in=ure the years export
figures the highest place in the record
of our rapidly Increasing and prosper
log foreign conn cree, which only
began to show a balance OF trade 10
our favor when the republican system
OF protection became a permanent
feature of our national policy.
The bill providing reform OF govern
meut for Hawaii was under considera-
tion.iu the senate for ten days before
its iual passage. 1t Is believed that
the measure will fill all existing re-
quirements of our new territory with
satisfaction to both the islanders and
ourselves. Some changes aud modi6-
cations may be found necessary at q
subsequent date, after experience has
shown what will be most effective and
just, when put into practice.
A net cash balance OF 1901 ,2S7 ,666, in
the United States treasury at the close
of business last month was in striking
contrast with the gross deficiencies
that used to be exhibited under the
last democratic administration. Then
it was a case of borrow, borrow,
borrow. Now we have a comfortable
surplus stored up against a rainy day
aud are lending money in Europe
instead of seeking it there at exorbi-
taut rates of interest.

THE WORK OF CONGRESS.

The developments of the week have
proved disappointing to democratic
leaders who hoped to gain some tenn
porary ad from the discussion
within the republican party regarding
lines of policy with reference to the
islands with which we have come int
closer relationship, ard especially
Porto Rico. While the Porto Ri
can matter has not been finally a adjust
ed, it is probable that it will result in
the adoption of a Porto R!can tariff
which will be merely a tariff in name,
and turn over to the Porto Ricans the
trifing sums which may be collected
on a few articles, being practically the
original proposition of the president
and at the same time preventing the
establishment of a precedent by which
democrats can assert or demand that
the republican policy shall be one OF
free trade. with all non-contiguous
territory over which we may have con-
bring the labor of those stands into
competition with the agricultural and
other producing and lsboring classes of
the United States.
Another disappointment to the DEM
ocracy has been the recent aud quite
unexpected development by which the
United States has been able to tender
Its good offices in bringing about peace
between the Beers and the English
government. That there has been a
desire on thespart Of all interested to
BEE this accomplished has been well
understood, but that 1t would have
been inadmissible under rules
of international procedure t have done
this until the recent developments
which made 1t practicable, Ia equally
well known and well understood by all
who are familiar with the subject: and
those who were clanoring for II were
simply doing SO for the purpose of EN-
barcassing the administration and of
ma',lng political capital. The mo-
ment, however, that conditions made
such action, proper and possible the
action Was taken.
Still another disap pointm snt TO dem
ocrats is the fact that the Nicaraguan
canal matter Is likely to be adjusted in
q way which will prove entirely salts
fact lry to all the parties concerned,
aud encourage immediate action on
the pat of congress and an early com
mence nent Of the work. While the
treaty Is still under consideration IN
the senate, it is quite probable that it
will be confirmed with such trifing
amendments as to obviate whatever OF
objection has been offered by any ex-
cept those who object merely for poll
tical purposes and to find fault with the
republican party.
A gratifying development of the week

Small but Very Strong.

The humming bird flies as the Irish
man played the fiddle-by main
strength-the frigate bird relies on his
skill in taking advantage of every vary
ing current of air, and the skeleton of
the one indicates great muscular power,
while that of the other shows its alb
sence. No other bird has such proper
tionately great muscles as the hum
ming bird, the keel Of the sternum or
breastbone from which these muscles
arise runs from one end of the body to
the other, while at the same time 1t
projects downward like the keel of a
modern racing yacht. These muscles
drive at the rate Of several hundred
strokes minute a pair of small, rigid
wings, the outermost bones of which
are very long, while the innermOst are
very short, feature calculated to give
the greatest amount of motion at the
tip of the wing with the least move
ment of the bones of the upper arm, to
which the driving muscles are attached.
Another peculiar feature is that the
outermost feathers, the flight feathers
or primaries, are long and strong, while
the innermost, those attached to the
forearm, are few and weak; 30 far as
flight is concerned, the bird could dis
pense with these secondaries and not
feel their loss. Finally the heart,
which we may look upon as the boiler
that supplies steam for this machin-
cry, is large and powerful, isis neces-
sary for such high-pressure engine as
the little humming bird.-Popular Sci.

INDIANS SET THE LESSON.

North American Aborigines Taught
Other Peoples How to Fight.
Anybody who knows anything at all
about modern fighting knows that the
North American Indian is the man who
sets the pace. First the American
frontiersmen studied his ways and
adopted his tactics and the soldiers took
It up. Baden Powell, SO the plucky lit
tie South African general confesses,
first read about American scouts and
then took lessons from their teachers,
the Indians themselves. But now there
| Is a slip in the chain and France is
studying the Indian without going to
the trouble of first ascertaining what
the best scout>in the world, the Amer
lean soldier. thinks about it. France is
trying the "flexicon march,"
Never get the leg straight" are the
French instructions. Keep the back
straight. but bent forward. Do not
throw the shoulders either back OF up"
That Is about the way an Indian
walks, so Captain Uline Of the Twen.

on, he never heard of the trick being
tried by military.

lexicon" the captain said, "because
I am not familiar with it. From the de

Hardy Vegetarfans.

Peasants of Russia live mainly upon
thin vegetable soup, sauerkraut, rye
bread and oil. The Scotch Highlander,
whose courage and hardihood are pro-
verbal, seldom touches meat, living
mainly upon oatmeal, vegetables and
buttermilk. Among the most active
and vital people Of the world are the
Irish peasants, whose diet consists al
most entirely of potatoes and butter
milk. The farmers of Corsica live all
winter upon dried fruit, mainly dates,
and polenta (chestnuD meal. During
the middle ages the Moors used to pro-
vision their fortified cities with chest
nuts and olive oil.
