It is sent to every Post Office in the Territory and has a largo and grow ng circulation among the intelligent and pro gressive people of tho southwest. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24. It is Mr. Secretary Elkins now. And we are glad that such it is. Mr. Secretary Elkins, we salute you and wish you a very merry Christmas. The Republic and the prouunciamento B9em to travel in pairs in Central and S-nUi America. Crisp's letter to Mills offering the Texas fire eater second place on the ways and means committee, was the unkindest cut of all. It was "rubbing it in" with a vengeance, surely. A merry Christmas to the Santa Fe Board of Trade ; it has done good and valuable service for this city during the past year. A merry, merry Christmas to all the readers of the New Mexican in par ticular, and to the people of the territory of New Mexico in general. These fine Christmas days a settlement between the bondsmen of ex-Collector Chavez and the tax payers of this county would be a mighty fine thing all around. Governor Prince's report on New Mexico for 1891 is very good reading this holiday season ; this is a great and glorious territory and tha governor shows it up in the proper light and in excellent lan guage. Talk is cheap, but facts are stronger than talk. If the Texas, Santa le & Northern railroad means business let it demonstrate this; let this fact be known. Abusing, lying about and slandering public officials will refund no bonds. A great many good peopld may find a deal of food for thought m the fact that Norcross, the dead New York dynamiter, never smoked, never gambled, never drank, never played cards, never stayed out late of nights and never went out with the boys. Eefuodino a lot of bonds that have very little to stand on and that may very prop erly be placed in the doubtful column, would be a very fine Christmas gift, indeed, for the Texas, Santa Fe & North ern railroad ; but where would the tax payers come in? As usual, at the small end of the horn. Nature gave Santa Fe a very great gift in its magnificent climate ; however the climate must be advertised and people must be made aware that this city is tho best place in New Mexico and New Mex ico the best country on the globe for those Buffering with pulmonary troubles. Thanks to the efficient work of Hon. Amado Chaves, the territorial superin tendent of public instruction, the public school syBtem of the territory has been placed in better condition during the past year than it has ever been before. This is quite gratifying. The year 1892 will show a still greater advance. The past year has been a dull one for the realty men generally, but despite this fact the city of Denver makes a highly encouraging record. In that city last year the sales of real estate footed up $65,929,924. This year they will almost reach $47,000,000, or a daily average of 'mat $134,000. A live city, truly. ue American Eagle is pluming his feathers just now, despite the approach of Christmas with its good will to men, and the Chilian government had best take the hint. That is an ominous call the Loyal Legion makes upon congress to provide the American nation with a navy that will command respect for our flag the world over. It seems that the funds for the main tenance of the territorial prison for the coming two months are exhausted. In view of what has happened during the past ten months, it would not be a poor Christinas gift for the people, were the institution abolished and the convicts sent to Leavenworth. The New Mexican is very willing and ready to help in this project. CHRISTMAS TO MORROW. Tomorrow will be Christmas, the day celebrated by a great many millions of peo ple upon the globe. This is one festival of the Christian religion that has brought the church and the world together as nothing else, certainly no other church festival, has ever done. It is the spirit of "peace on earth and good will toward man" that has brought this about; this spirit is the ruling one at Christmas tide. Love and kindliness, helpfulness and sympathy characterize the day upon which the festival of the church is held. The principle of doing to others con scientiously whatsoever one would, others should do to him, holds fuller sway upon that day than upon any other. Let us hope that such sentiments will, as the world advances and becomes more civil ized, be the rule for every day in the year, as it now is upon Christmas day. BREA1ISTUFFS AND THE MARKET. The world is out of joiut. Reciprocity with Cuba brings to Baltimore an order for 300,000 barrels of flour. Western grain goes east to be ground into flour for this purpose when by every rule of reason and economy the western grain should roll straight down here to deep water on the gulf, velasco, for instance, and go thence, after being converted into flour, to Cuba. By this route a thousand mile haul is saved. The Atlantic seaboard route is an illogical one aud sooner or later must ghe way for the deep water route. South America has simply got to have the west's breadstuff's, and the sooner the Rocky mountain region makes up its mind that everything depends upon improved railway facilities leading hence to the gulf, the sooner will this section find a certain and lasting market for its breadstuff's. With the class of grain which the valleys of New Msxico can produce by irrigation, cheap labor, certainty of crops and ample transporta tion facilities, here in future must the American farmer look for las greater field of remunerative duty. SURVEYS OF PRIVATE LAND CLAIMS. When, by the treaty of Guadalupe Hi dalgo, New Mexico was transferred to the United States, the nation solemnly agreed that all its people, whether New Mexico remained a territory or was admitted as a state, "shall be maintained and protected in the free enjoyment of their liberty and property." It is notorious that these people have not been protected in the possession of their landed property. At last congress passed ajaw for thoir relief, but now it appears that congress, when it passed the laud court bill, struck out the usual annual appropriation "for surveying private land claims in New Mexico." By this omission the land court bill is to a great extent nullified for the present fiscal year. This is a great injustice. If a citi. zen wants a quarter section of land for a homestead the government surveys it out and gives it to him ; but if a citizen fifty vears mo showed himself brave and ac tive in the defense of the settlements against the surrounding hostile Indians, the government of the time made him a giant of perhaps a piece of the Galisteo valley, extending from the mouth of a certain side canon down to a certain high rock. Why should not the government survey this and give it to him as it has plainly promised to do. The reacnt law provided that he should have it without payment, but practically he can't get it at all, as no description resulting from private survey would be accepted by the land office. Every citizen of New Mexico should make nil possible effort to obtain from the present congress a liberal and ample ap propriation for the survey of private land claims in New Mexico, so that these claims, which have so long retarded her prosperity, may be speedily put in shape and forever settled. EDITORIAL COMMENTS. Just About So Democratic papers are trying to prove that Elkins was a "rebel sympathizer." Their little game wont work. Were the charge true, Elkins would be a hero with these same Democratic papers which are abusiDg him. Kansas City Journal. And Strongly So, and Truthfully So. The Santa Fo "Daily New Mexican" is inclined to discredit Major John V.

If Mr. Blaine wants the nomina tion at Minneapolis he will get it without a struggle, as he is undoubtedly the first favorite of his party. If he is not a candi date President Harrison will be renomi nated by acclamation. There is not the slightest possibility of a conflict between Mr. Blaine and Mr. Harrison on this subject. Either will support the other cheerfully, and whichever of them may be no.ninated is almoet certain to be elected. Denver Republican. The World's Reufqtapers. The number of newspapers published in all countries is estimated at 41,000, of whicu number about zi.uUO appear in Europe. Germany heads the European list with 5,000, then comes t ranee with 4,100, England with 4,000, Austria-Hungary with 3,000, Italy with 1,400, Spain with 8o0, Kussia with 800, Switzerland with 450, Belgium and Holland with 300 each, and the rest are published in Por tugal, the Scandinavian and the Balkan countries. 'The United States has 13,900 newspapers. Canada has 700, and Aus tralia also has 700. The people of the United States, therefore, read and sup port about as many newspapers as En gland, France, Germany and Russia com bined. From "Paper." The New Circuit Judges. An unusual number of judicial appoint ments have fallen to the lot of President Harrison to make, and his appointments of this kind have as a rule given general satisfaction. This is true of the appoint ments made by him this week to six of the nine new circuit judgeships created by the last congress. None of the new judges are unknown men ; all of them have been men of greater or less promi nence professionally, two of them have served upon the federal bench before, and the third has served for some time as judge of a state court. One circumstance connected with the appointments has elicited especially favorable criticism, the fact, namely, that two of the six appoin tees are Democrats. This circumstance has been regarded as indicating that the president does not consider the appoint ments to federal judgeships as political in their nature, as indeed they should not t3 considered. It is to be hoped that the action of the president in distributing the appointments among men of different politics will be followed as a precedent. Bradstreets. CON STIPATION.
