ing It may be entirely feasible. He
thinks it quite probable that nutri-
tion may be contained In the seed In
such condensed form that It will be
of value for feed, even at a good
price,”
Mr. Benninghoven claims that when
corn is fed whole 35 per cent of Us
nutritive value Is lost; when It Is
ground this loss Is reduced to 20 per
cent; but he says if alfalfa meal Is
properly mixed with It the loss of
nutrition Is less than 5 per cent, and
In. this mixture lies Its greatest value.

More Republican Promises.
Quay's vote-bidding motion to have
the senate agree to take up the om-
nibus statehood bill Immediately on
Its reassembling lu December seems
to be serving the purpose for which
it wus Intended. Several of the re-
publican papers of New Mexico are
pointing with pride to "Quay's victo-
ry In the senate” and assure their
readers that It means the passage of
the statehood bill next December.
As a matter of fact. Quay cares no
more about the success of the omni-
bus statehood-MH-than Be does about
the enactment of a peanut ordinance
In El Paso. His motion to have the
bill set for early consideration in De-
cember was a political dodge played
to help out a couple of political
friends. Realising that the action of
the senate In refusing to grant state-
hood to the territories Insured their
going democratic this coming full the
republican delegates now represent-
ing the territories In congress ap-
pealed to their republican friends In
the senate to do something to save
them. Cunning Quay, the cleverest
.trimmer In his party, proved equal to
the emergency. The people of the
territories had fallen easy victims to
statehood pledges in the national re-
publican platform and would, so the
astute Quay argued, eagerly swallow
another dose of the same chaff, and
then he made that grand stand play
for the benefit of New Mexico and Ar-
izona, Quay believes the people of
the territories are very gullible and
if he's watching the republican pa-
per* of New Mexico he will congratu-
late himself on his foresight.
Republican leaders In both houses
of Congress are opposed, to granting
statehood to New Mexico and Arlxti-
us and the republican press of the
north and east Is outspoken In Its an-
tagonism of any bill that will admit
New Mexico to the privileges of state-
hood and only one thing could induce
the republican senate to enact the
pending statehood bill into a law. II
democratic gains next November are
aU large as to give the democrats con-
trol of the house and cause alarm In
the senate, then the republican sena
tofe. knowing that a democratic sen
ate means statehood for the territo-
ries, might pass the hill hoping there-
by to make the three new states
safely republican.
But It is money to marbles that
If the republicans hold their own next
November they will turn down the
Statehood hill next December. Just
cut this prediction out and paste It
in your hat.
New Use for Alfslfs.
It will be interesting to the alfalfa
growers of the El Paso and JUo
Grande valleys to know that a new
use has been discovered for the nu-
tritions alfalfa seed. According to
the Topeka Journal, Otto Bennlngbo-
ven. a farmer of Riley county. Kan-
sas, after a practical teat lest!ties that
when the seed of alfalfa Is properly
ground and mixed with corn It it an
excellent beef producing food for cat-
tle. taking the place of cottonseed
meal.
Heretofore the seed of the alfalfa
plant has been valuable chiefly to
increase alfalfa acreage—in other
word*, it has been need only aa seed.
Alfalfa growers have feared that aa
the acreage lacreaae# the demand for
and the price will
Who Do You Belong To?
"There Is entirely too much said,”
re-marks the- Fort Worth Mail-Tele-
gram. "about Bryan men and Hill
men and Cleveland men, etc., ad nau-
seam. The American citizen who Is
willing to ho known by another man's
name or as another man's man Is
about ready to sell bis birthright for
a mess of pottage. Do not be any
man's man. Think for yourself and
be for the best interests of the coun-
try." „
And the newspapers alone nre to
blame for all this talk about Bryan
democrats and Cleveland democrats.
'I here Is only one kind of a demo-
crat and be Is a democratic demo-
crat. Because Bryan expresses views
similar to those held by Hill Jones
Is no more reason for calling Jones
a Bryan democrat than It Is for call-
ing Bryan a Jones democrat. As for
Cleveland, he Is a democrat only
when he is a candidate for office. At
all other times he Is a mugwump and
a consistent one. A tendency toward
factionalism and a desire to bn bossed
prompts many newspaper writers—-
democratic and republican—to try
and make bosses out of politicians by
referring to other men as Bryan dem-
ocrats or Hanna republicans, anil yet
the political expressions of those men
are but the echo of the opinions held
hy hm largos percentage of tkstr eoa-
stltueucfc
Mr. Cleveland’s political opinions
are coined for him by W. C. Whit-
ney's Wall street set; Bryan draws
his inspiration from constant touch
with the pulse of the masses of the
democratic party and the most suc-
cessful of the republican leaders are
simply the mouthpieces of those who
direct their party's policies.
We agree with Our Fort Worth con-
temporary; let us have less of this
talk about Jones, Brown and Cleve-
land men.

a balance of profit for the half , year

these statistical evidences of pros-
perity the preferred stock sold last

GREAT LISBON EARTHQUAKE.
(Everybody’s Magazine.!
In the early morning of All Saints'
day, November 1, nil Lisbon was
abroad. The morning was hot and
still and veiled In a film of yellow
haze In which the color of the city and
sky and river ran riot. . Behind the
Seven Hills on which the town was
built rose higher hills, heaving softly
into green swells and billows, a deeper
background for white-walled monas-
teries and a confusion of red-tiled
roofs and turquoise towers and min-
arets and the yellow outer wells lap-
ped by the blue river,
In' the streets people hurried In and
out among the booths and shops, gath-
er Jng Into momentary- groups to dts-
-i-uas the absence of rain, the fact that
the welts of the country had suddenly
gone dry, the coming hull fight, the
latest scandal perpetrated by armed
and hooded noblemen roving after
dark. The yellow glare beat on lofty
houses covered with Dutch tiles done
In blue and white, highly glazed and
wrought Into scenes from Bible tales;
on the small shrines m saints or the
Madonna at every corner; and threw
out Into sharp contrast the somber
green of citron snd lemon trees.

The procession of the Vatican!
swung past, through black lanes of
kneeling people, with the host borne
aloft by bare footed men of rank under
a canopy that blazed with gold and
jewels. While clad Dominican frlafs
threaded through the crowd, with
austere faces and dark-clouded eyes;
negro fruit vendors shouted their
wares above the babel of aongs and
laughter, the chanting of psalms atid
droning prayers. Rosy monks, black
cowled, Jostled among the women,
with coarse robes trailing about fat
white ankles. 811m figures discreetly
shrouded slipped through the throng,
convoyed by , alert duennas.
English and Dutch talked business
at the corners, Intent on finance or
on trade. Streams of dark-clad peo-
ple trickled through the massive en-
trance Into the great church of Ban
Domingo. Above the hum and swarm
of the town the church bells pealpd,
vibrant, masculine, deep-toned and
slow, their mellow notes pulsing over
the Dixie- river and drifting out among
the hilts. And at the tenth hour the
ground quivered as though to the rum-
ble of a heavily loaded wagon In the
street*.

Two minutes later, with a sudden
ripping crash aa of a lightning bolt
struck home, the earth heaved like an
animal In pain. In an instant the air
was fogged with blinding dust,
through which could he seen the first
sickening lurrh of buildings toppling
to their fall: the wide downward
sweep of uprooted trees, in all di-
rection* were flying figures that reeled
to tbs earth's motion and fell, and
rose aud staggered on.
For ten minutes the convulsion
lasted; minutes that seemed each one
an hour. The dust then lightened,
and those who were left upon the
broken streets got their bearings and
started for tne river and quays. The
great marble quay at me Terrel ro -.o
Paco, crowded with panic-stricken
refugees from all parts of the town,
sank suddenly beneath the river, with-
out warning, leaving never a trace or
algn: and the waters gulped over it
ami hurled themselves forward on the
city, seeking other prey.

As Is generally known, n biH-restrict-
Ing tho hours of labor on all work dono
by tile government and for the govern-
ment. whether by contract or subcon-
tract. has been Introduced In the house
of representatives by the Hon. John J. ^
Gardner of New Jersey. The commit-
tee on labor of the house has had the
hill under consideration,;,and several
hearings have been had thereon. Some
of the most noted and able,attorneys of
;the United States have been-hi con-
stant attendance at the committee's
hearings, representing particularly the
Cramp Ship company anil the Bethle-
hem Steel works. The legislative com-
mittee and the president of the Amer-
ican Federation of Labor have also
been in dally attendance nt the bear-
ings, representing labor's Interests.
During the hearings peculiar circum-
stances aud contradictions have pre-
sented themselves, which exposed the
inconsistency of the opponents' posi-
tion. One of the main contentions of
the opposition Is that It Is Impossible to
produce steel of the high grade required
for armor plate and guns within eight
hours and that It Is Impossible to turn
over a heat of steel to other workmen
of equnl skill without deterioration of
thcTiuaUty.
This contention has been successfully
refuted by disinterested and comiietent,
practical witnesses brought forward by
tailor's representatives. It has been
shown that tbe very thing contended
against Is now practiced with men
working ton and twelve hour shifts-
that Is, that unfinished beats, forgings
and cnstlngB nre turned over from one
set of men to another under the ten
and twelve hour system: that different
sots or crews of men nre engaged at
different furnaces In tbe smelting of
steel for one and the same forging or
easting, and therefore It is not only
possible, hut now the practice; that
four different crew* of men often work
at different heats for one casting and
forging.
There must of necessity be con-
ditions exactly alike in all of . these
heats, for otherwise tbe slightest vari-
ation In any one of tho four heats
would ruin the easting or forging;
hence If this can be done now there
cannot be any obstacle In the way of
men of equal skill taking over sn un-
finished heat under an eight hour rule.
Personal Investigation, as well as
testimony gleaned after the close of
the bearings before tbe house Commit-
tee ou labor, has demonstrated be-
yond question that the opposition to
the eight hour bill upon this ground >s
absolutely without any basis In fact.
Apart from this, the opponents tog lie
eight hour Mil claim that they are not
opposed to the eight hour system If It >
were generally applied in the industry
of the country, yet by the witnesses
they have put upon the stand they
have endeavored to prove that the “sys-
tem” is Impossible. Whenever this in-
consistency has been pointed out to
the committee, the legal representa-
tives of the opponents have flared tip
