COMMENT ON sHAW's REPORT
America's Prosperity Due Almost Er
 tirely to Protection.

London, December 6.-The Daily Mail comments at length on the tale of Amer icas seeming prosperity as told in Sec retary of the Treasury Shaw's report, which it attributes almost entirely to pro- lection. The paper says that the striking fact about this dazzling prosperity is that it prevails in a country which British free traders fifteen years ago predicted would be ruined by protection.
 The Daily Mail regards Secretary Shaw's currency proposals as bold and says that they would not be feasible ex- cept for the S60,O0O. GOO collected in dues.
 The Standard contending that the re- port. shows that the tasks usually as sociated with the great state banks or Europe are to be assumed by the treasury of the United States. says it is an experi- ment which will be watched here with more interest than anticipated.

THE EINFLuENcE OF WORDS.


 The habit of expressing just what you think. or rather the habit of not thinking cautiously, is very dangerous, and often results in harm to self. Impressions made upon the minds of others are sometimes poison to a tender nature. Kind words fall on the ear, and extend through the human soul; bitterness, like a viper, leaves a sting and often a scar, that time never can ease. The first impressions are not always the most pleasant. In every nature there is some flaw. No creature is perfect, the tiny fault is mag nihed when framed in words, passed over and compared with the accompanying virtues it is lost sight of, and a character of a superior nature is unfolded. Criticism is teacher when properly applied but a weapon when used ndscrimnately The spoken words shatter as d storm, tear away the ties of friendship and sincerity but words of love and praise build up the best that is in nature They stimulate the weak points we are so conscious of, and lead to stronger purpose. It takes but a second to express in words what some times cannot be recalled in a life time. If you feel i'll, refrain from speaking of it. Never write it. One drop of ink con stunned in painting words of unkindness extend 10 volume of unhappiness.

OPENS WAR
FORCES BALF0UR TO CALL
MEETING OF UNI0NIST PARTY

London, Feb. IA. j. Balfour has
finally acceded to Joseph Chamber
lain's wish that call be made for a
general meeting of the unionst party,
which, it is expected will be fixed for
February Is. though no details have
as yet been settled. In the meantime
Mr.. Chamberlain has issued an inn
portant manifesto which, while ac-
centuating rather than lessening the
party tension. still leaves Mr.. Balfour
a bridge over which to cross into tha
tariff reform camp. otherwise, be-
yond exactly defining Mr.. Chamber
lain's position, the letter leaves mat
ters much as they were before.
That Mr. Chamberlain has no idea
of abandoning his tariff agitation is
shown by his declaration of an inten-
ton to form his own parliamentary
group. He also, in his letter sug-
gests that the questions of social re-
form now arising will require large
revenues, the raising of which may
be indirectly connected with the tar
iff policy. This is regarded as bid
for the support Of the new labor
party.

Silviano Lucero of Taos county and
Deputy Gomez for Taos. where he will

man can tell apparently where the
victory will lie, The opposing forces
seem to be as ever.ly divided as ever
The debate may B,~delayed for a
few days, but when it comes it will
surpass in interest rigor and possibly
in bitterness, any contest of the pres

senate differ from the insurgents in
the house in that they apparently
mean to remain insurgents until the
finish. The leaders of both sides con-
fdently predict victory but neither
side is prepared to give the reason for
expecting it. There will be but one
point of difference In the discussion
ana that the uniting of New Mexico

II seems now that there will be almost
a solid democratic vote against the
measure in its present form, although
one or two democratic votes are
known already to be with Il. 1t is
curious enough that with the chief op-
position to the bill from the demo-
Gratis, the opposing forces should be
led by a republican, yet Mr.. Foraker
will be the leader of the anti forces
from the start to the finish of the
fight. Senator Beveridge seems to be
thoroughly satisfied with the situation
and his plans are well laid. Men who
know the situation say that if he can
hold his recruits, and the few wav-
erers, his victory and the passage OF
the bill is certain.

audience by Premier Witte yesterday.

amounting only to 100000 acres.
much of which is forest land The

delegation replied that the peasants
did not wish to buy land, but We're
determined to receive it as a gift from

At the close of an informal discus
sion the premier thanked heaven that
the conditions in Russia were different
from those prevailing in other coun-
tries He said, according to the pub

was dependent on the electors and an
English king on Jewish bankers, but

the revolutionists that the country be
ruled by Poles, Armenians and Jews
would not be realized. The premier
