Engineer and Review, testified that certain
circulars which it had been repre-
sented by other witnesses were sent out,
100000 at a time, by Ballet, were printed
by him and that the number was but
few thousand.

Ell PASO EXHIBIT.

Says the Albuquerque Citizens 'The
Ell Paso Herald is urging hat city to
make a big exhibit at the st. Louis
worlds fair. Ell Paso should begin by
bringing an exhibit to the New Mexico
fair to be held in this city next Octo-
ber.'
To this the Herald says: That is a
fair proposition. FL Paso as the me-
tropolis of the great southwest must
reciprocate favors. Eel Paso expects
Albuquerque to take part in all our
shows. and to help get together the
mining exhibit for the st. Louis expo
sition. 1t is only proper that Ell Paso
should help Albuquerque in making her
public entertainments and projects sue
cessful.
lei Paso should get together a per-
manent exhibit that can be put in
shape for easy transport from point to
point as occasion may require. This
city should have an exhibit at every
important exposition hat takes place
in the United States. In many cases.
the mere fact that no other place so
remote or of similar character had an
exhibit would serve to call attention to
ours. This is one of the most effective
ways of advertising.
Let FL Paso take in the Albuquer-
que fair, and help make it CO."

END OF BOER WAR.

The wal in South Africa is -nded.
England has saved her "honor" and
that is about all she has to show for
the long struggle which has cost her
so dearly in blood and treasure. For
the privilege of having it go out to the
world that she has won the fight she
grants the vanquished foe about every
thing they ask save absolute independ-
ence,
Not only is it agreed not to tax the
conquered country for the expenses OF
the war, but tHe British government
promises to put up $15 900 900 for the
purpose of restoring the devastated
country to some semblance of what it
once was.
The Beers lay down their arms and
England does the rest. 1t is plain that
the rejoicing in England is not owe
the victory won but is due to the fact
that peace has been brought about re-
CARELESS of humiliating terms.
All prisoners are to he brought back
as soon as possible to South Africa,
without loss of liberty or property.
No action is to be taken against pris-
oneTs except where they are guilty of
the breaches of the rules of war.
Dutch is to he taught in the schools,
if desired by the parents. and used in
the courts. if necessary.
Rifles are allowed for protection.
Military occupation is TO be with
drawn as oon as possible and self-gov-
eminent substituted.
There is to be no tax on the Trans
yaal to pay the cost of the war.
What more could the defeated party
ask except absolute independence?
