Ileury Clews V; Co., New YorkHankers, say Hint the future of thisCountry is certainly full of promise,and all the favorable conditions thatexist stand for an active stock marketwith a rising tendency. The half ofthe year lis, say from .luly to January1st, will beyond doubt mark the highestnotca of profperity which this countrybus attained in its history, and it isthat prospect which is at the bottom ufstock v .ilurs at the present time. It isnot surprising, therefore, that the cursrent is at high tide. Ia all their busi-

ness experieuce in Wall Street, whichcovers period of ferty Tears, they saythey have never seen a brighter outlookfor all business interests in this countrythan the situation now presents.

Holiday Koough,Iln (Tolo Courier (Ivm ).

The Vr F.ditnr ' of the St. LouisChronicle has made l.i that paper animpassioned plea for a new holiday.I be general argument is tint the closeof the Spanish war should be markedby the establishment of a new holiday.With all respect for Hie patriotic en-

thusiasm of the Chronicle, we cannotsee that aay more holidays arc needed.In this Mate two new ones Labor1 lay and Lineólas llirthdny -- have beenadded within a few years, while ArborDay is observed In the schools, andeery Saturday afternoon is also 'alegal holiday. There are no holidaysto commemorate the war of 1M2 nr theMexican war, and no reason for auy inthe case of the present war. The crea-tion of holidays has gone far enough.JadgiBg from the use the majority ofpeople make of them, It would bebetter to abolish a few that alreadyexist.

It turns out that criminally greedyarmy contractors sold 4,000 pairs of pape-

r-snled shoes for the troops at CampAlger. The test was made on a shortmarch. In the midst of peaceful scenes,and the result was unimportant iu amilitary sense, but it might easily havebeen uninreiit.

The (ireat Fredereck was the firstsoldier to recognize the Importance ofgood shoes for infaalry. Since thattime, however, generals have recognizedthe fact that shoes for footsoldiers wereas important a consideration as horse-she- en

for cavalry.For the shoes of the Infantry to give

out in an emergency might easily meanthe loss or a battle. Hence tbe contraetor who would, to make a few centsmere per pair, furnish such shoes, Is ina sense guilty of treason. Treason is acapital olleuse.

The hanging of a guilty contractorwould do more than auythir.g wise wecan think of to put this country on afirst-cla- ss war fouling.

Internal Tax Parniaiiant.Tb Commissioner of Internal Kevsnue.

" It is clear that Cuba, Puerto liicoand a portion of the Philippines willhave to be garrisoned by United statessoldiers. Iu view of the expense thusto be incurred it seems to me that wewill be forced to secure much of ourrevenues fre:n internal taxation.

"It is a matter of record that theWilson law was a fist failure, and any-one who will take the trouble te inves-tigate will tlud that the llluelew lawproduced a deficit. I have uiy doubtsas to whether a tarilT bill could beframed to produce aulllcient money tomaintain the government. The in-

ternal tax has been light ami I do notlook for a heavy tax in the future.

" My judgment Is that whi.e some ofthe features of the law will be repealed,the frame work will remain. '1 he in-

creased tax on tobacco and the tencents a pound tax on tea will probablybe the first features to be eliminated.1 believe the additional tax of $1 abarril oil beer will reinaia. The stamptax eu bank check will probably bepermanent also."

Tha New Cup Challenger.

Hutlslo Commercial.Sir Thems Tipton, the new eon chal- -

leager. seems te cast a reflection enseme of his predecessors in his announcement that brains are needed, at wellas money, tocapture that trophy.

mate the population of tha I'nlt-- d Stateste have been 0 0 on July I, and71.1'37,0'in a year prevloiia; hence the circu-lation bae Incrpjard not only In tb asure,gate but por capita, tha amount havingrl.ln from t2i.!7 to 24 74.

No doubt the figures are correct as to'.he amount of money in this country;hut te speak of that amount as in cir-

culation, Is worse than an absurdity,Money lying in bank vaults and in theI'niled States treasury, Is not In circu-

lation, and does the people no moregood, while so lying, than if it were notin existence. What the exact amountthus lied up may be, this paper has notthe means of stating, but the estimatewould not be too liberal should it beplaced at fully oue half of all the moneysaid to be In the country.

oughly palatable. This wall is suppliedwith force pump, horse trough, andconsiderable qnsatity of hose ; and forit the station Is Indebted to the presenttuperinte ndent, Joha Thornhill Thstation did have a rmndem barn, twostories high, with roomy stone cel'ars,and was well aapplieri witn requisitafarm tools and machinery ; but on thenight of June 17th, the barn was struckby lightning, and rontumeri with all Itscontents, including machinery, horses,wsgon and a large part nf the Siieriiitendent't household furniture. T, estation has never had a dwelling house,an adoba hovel being used for that pur-

pose by the present Superintendent,who Is a man of family.

An Optiu representative recentlyvisited the station and was as muchsurprised as pleased at what he saw In

the way of experimental agt culture.It may be premised that the present su-

perintendent, who hat een in chatsless thk.ii a year, John Thornhill, byname, is an Englishman by birth butan American by adoption and manyyears' residence; while his wife Is oaeof those thrifty, industrious Cerníanwomea, for the production of whomthe Fatherland has become so justlycelebrated. Mr. Thornhill is a practi-cal farmer and horticulturist, for manyyears a piofessional florist and laud-sca- pe

gardner, while for a number ofyears he was a successful caterer to theLas Vegas market In flowers and vege-

tables.

Of course, then, the station had itflower beds. In abundance, but theywer annuals or those whichbloom the first year from seed, sinceMr. Thornhill had not been loug enoughin charge to bring to blooming the perennial kinds, (arden vegetables werealso found In all their several sorts; butIt was In those which were growing forexperimental purposes that this writerwas chiefly Interested. He found ofthese, in several varieties each, squash,cabbage, caulillower, cucumbers, toma-toes,' six varieties of Irlol. potatoes,nineteen varieties ef turnip, and sev-

eral different sowings of sugar beetsSeveral" of these vegetables, notablypotatoes and tomatoes, it ha oftenbeam aterted end generally accepted,cannot be profitably grown in, this sec-

tion on account of soil Had climate;but It skeined to the writer that Mr.Thornhill was In a fair way to demon-strate not only that they can, but alsowhich of the many varieties of these asof the other vegetable can be mostreliantly planted in this aection.

In the fruit line, the station has ayet but a small orchard of apple andpears, a small vineyard containing sev-

eral varieties of stapes, and some pramising strawberry beda. Nothing has sofar been done In experimenting withthe grassea, either for pasture or bay,though the ordinary kinds are raised tosupply tho neods of the station' its-se- lf.

There was a promising displayof oats, but it wag in wheat andcorn that the chief effort of the stationwere being put forth for the ' presentyear.

All the wheat was of the spring var-ieties, and consisted of tne KarlyWonder, Huby, Fife, White rarl,

Whit Imperial, aná a number of1

other. The corn wa of three kindpop corn, sweet corn for the garden,and a number of different variette forthe field. Among the pop corn wer

the Pearl. Golden (J ieen, and some

other; tli sweet corn embraced theLivingilon. Gold Cein, W. K. Ultra,and others; while In field corns therewere the Karly Minnesota, the WhiteDent, the Australian White Flint, thColorado Yellow Pent, the Leamington,and many other in fact embracingthe best varietle from a dozen states.

Itut the mere planting of these var.ielie was by no means tne end of theexperiments made. To ascertain which

variety did best, it must also be learnedwhether th ee should be Importedfre.ih every year or whether acclimatiza-tion Improved or detracted from theyield. Hence there were five varietiesof corn planted for the first time, andsixteen varieties from teed raised atthe sta'ionthe year before. Similarexperiments were made with wheat,well as other experiment to deterra r i

th best time far sewing and planting;whll Hi effort to ascertaia the kl'idswhich would do best with the leastwater, artificially applied, from the or-

dinary number of irrigations down tonone at all, occupied no little space andattention at th station.

It i the opinion of Tiik Optic thatth experiment station was doing meatexcellent work, at the time of the des-

truction of It barn, with its tools, im-

plements and horres ; an J that but forthis accident, which no human poweror foresight could have prevented, thepresent would have been largely themost protitable year In the short historyof th place.

Thk Optic also think that thepeople ef San Miguel county taould useevery effort with th regents of theAgricultural College, at Las Cruces,and with tne approaching Legislature,not alone to prevent the abandonment

! of the station, but to secure for It suchappropriations as will place upon It apower of usefulness uever before pos-

sessed. In fact, the entire northernpart of the Territory it a much inter-ested in this matter as are the people ofSan Miguel county, for ia this stationare the possibilities of untold benefit tothe agricultural interest of the entiremuiiuiaiii section. TskOptu; wiiiprobably have more to lay, hereafter,on thil Important theme.

In view of the favorable progress ofpeace negotiations the Cabinet lia he.gun consideration of what Is to be donewith Culta and Puerto Kic". Naturallythe diacuseion does not ltke widerang, allien the Kxecnttve power la lim-

ited to providing a temporary militarygovernment for fai'lt, pending Congresstonal net loo.

Nevertheless, the views of the Ad-

ministration are likely lo lm v i weightwith Congress m i are of interest forthat reason. These are staled to t

favorable to tusking Puerto Kico acolonial dependency, with a MilitaryCoventor, and to g.ve the people ofCube, under the provisional militarycontrol, the opportunity to elect. typopular vote, whether th y rb ill havean independent republic, become acolonial dependency of the t'nitadSlates, or he annexed aa a territory ofthe I'ntted States. Fither of these. Itla aaid, would he agreeable to the Ad-

ministration.Hither the firat or the last would be

agreeable to a majority of the people ofthis country, says the Pittsburg Dis-

patch. It ia probable th a great tiiitn-he- r

of 'Americans would prefer thatCuba should have a probationary existence aa an independent republic beforebeing annexed to the United State.But if the whole people of the if landInsist ou running in without furtherpreparation than they already have theywill no doubt be accepted and made thebeat of that circnniitancea will permit.

Thisgreat economic ch mge Is hut half theadvantage won by the United Slates.Our continental area produces all buttropical producís.

In view of all the scandals that havearisen about inelllciency of those in-

trusted with the wants of the soldiersat the front and in camp, In view of thefavoritism shown by the Secretary ofWar from the outbreak of Inutilities, Inview of the conditions at Sautisgowhich called forth that "round tobin"from the ollicers In command, aud

in view of Alger's unpardonableolíanse in seeking to gratify his piqueat the expense of the public welfare bypublishing Roosevelt's confidential lat-

ter, l'resident McKlnley must wish thatAlger's health or something had causedhim to resign or something before theoutbreak of the war. At the AlbanyArgus say: "If Secretary Alger wouldkindly learn that his health Is not goodenough to retain a petition in the Cab-inet, Tie would be doing an inestimablekindness to our soldiers at the front.It rather appears that (ien.

Just before the Wiiflo tariff lawwent out and tha IMagley tail IT lawcame la, tha Importa) of weal were sogreat as to inake tha imports for theCisoftl yar, 1S'.i7, r.ch tha aitonisiiiKPgnrea of 3.i tlVT2,( il pouiitla, with notona pound remaining in bond withdutira ta ba paid. For tha next or llscalyaar of 1WN, the Importations fell tol.T2.7'J."),3()2 pound, ef which fl0,l3.i,Sfil

pound, or aearly one half, remained Inbond with duties unpaid.

Tha rraion assienad for the lnt fnct,or why Ilia importad waol remains lubond, baa lea that tbe domestic articleIn from 10 to 15 per rent cheaper tbaathe imported article with tha duty uponit.

But U.ere are further facta bearing onthin subject. Articles of woolen man-

ufacture are further from the Import-ing point than is the raw material Itself;and the fact that many staple man-

ufactured article are gelliaif bolow cntof production at tima when neitherforeign good are iielnj Imported norA merican mills fully employed, Binkesthis still more remarkable. Indeed, Inthis connection it is well to nata thatwith tha exception of the six monthImmediately following the passage ofthe ingley tariff act, our domesticmills have Dot been employed during;tha past three years at more than twe-thir- ds

of their rapacity.From these statements It follows that

tha anticipated passage of tL Dingleytar lit bill caused an over Importation ofwool, congesting the market by excess-Ir- e

supply; and that only tha absorp-tion of this supply, by consumption,can give to domestic wools !the higherprice so long expected aud desired. Itis also evident that the languishingstate of the woolen textile market, hasdelayed the absorption of tha woal sup.ply, thus delaying the advance la priceof domestic wools. To what this con-dition of the textilo market Is to'beattributed, Is not so apparent. Someascribe it to tha glutting of tha market,by over production, from three to fiveyears ago. Others again contend thatthu benelits of the Improved times havenot yet found their way among theclashes of laboring men and their fam-ilies who constitute the great hubs afconsumero. Tlf latter seems the moraprobable explanation, since it is con-sonant with tha fact that goods efleredat less than cost of production remainuadittposed of.
