WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 2.
The A., T. 4 S. F. railroad has worked
earnestly to mnke the western statoa con
ference at Topeka the success that the
momentous interests involved merit for
it.
Fbank Staplin, so long iu newspaper
harness at Taos aud Amissett, is now at
the helm of the La Belle Cresset. He
knows how to write up a mining camp.
Success to him. -
TriE Citizen accuses Col. MoCutchen
of base ingratitude and wauts his meas
ure taken. There now, oolonel; you have
sloshed around in that editorial chair of
yours till you've got your foot tangled in
the upper rung. 'Twas ever thusl
The rank of lieutenant-general expired
with General Sehofield's retirement, as it
is a grade created only by speoial aots of
congress in recognition of distinguished
service, It has been bestowed upon six
generals Washington, Scott, Grant, Sher
man, SliEridan and Sohoiieid.
Thebk is some talk of Judge H. 0.
Sluss, of Kansas, resigning as n mem
ber of the TJ. S. court of private land
claims. Although the position pays a
salary of $5,000 a year and traveling ex
penses, it is hinted that Judge Sluas will
retire to accept a more lucrative posi
tion at his home in Wichita.
The Optic is mistaken. Delegate Cat
ron will in nowise be handicapped by the
Democrats of New Mexioo should he
make an earnest fight for statehood. The
Democratic party is thoroughly on record
in this matter, but they have been turned
down year after year by eastern Repub
licans, who were all too anxious to do the
bidding of New Mexioo Republicans.
Mr. Catron may have to contend with the
same obstructive tactics.
Col. T. B. Mills, of Las Vegas, has
figured out the difference between water
and rail rates to be 26 to 1, but he hasn't
yet vouchsafed an estimate on how long
it will be before the New Mexico exhibit
ors at the World's fair secure their
pwards. After Col. Mills gets through
with the Topeka conference he Bhould
call a conference of World's fair exhibit:
ors from the territory and invite John
Boyd Thatcher to be the guest of honor,
Fob the first time in two years under
norma) conditions the receipts of the
government for the past month show a
treasury surplus. This is getting back to
those good old Democratic times of the
last Cleveland administration and shows
that the tariff reform law is sorely work
ing out its destiny. The figures are rath'
er interesting to contemplate the actual
snrplns for the month was $3,229,1'.)7.
Youno men, ye who dally with the in
nocent-looking cigarette, stand up. Do
yon know what soientifio research has
taught the people of this enlightened age
about the cigarette? Not Well, here it
is as revealed by a chemical analysis re
eently made: The tobacco was found to
be strongly impregnated with opium,
while the wrapper, whioh was warranted
to be rice paper, was proved to be the
most ordinary quality of paper whitened
with arsenic. The two poisonB oombiued
were present in sufficient quantities to
create in the smoker a habit of using
opium without his being aware of it, his
oraving for which can only be satisfied
by an incessant consumption of cigar
etteg.
W are surprised that the Citizen has
not yet expressed its indignation because
the Roman Catholio ceremonies of next
month are to be held in Santa Fe. Why
should the cardinalftnd other dignitaries
oome here instead of going to Albuquer
que? it is surprising that the arch
bishop is not abused because be allows
suoh things. In fact, why is he not aroh
bishop of Albuquerque instead of arch
bishop of Santa Fe, and why not change
the name and see city of the archdiocese
at once? Why should money be sub
scribed to complete the cathedral in the
ancient capital, which might be used in
building stores and saloons in the Duoal
city? We have seen photographs of the
church of San Felipe in the old town of
Albuquerque, on which it was called a
"Catheral" by some one'who did not know
what a cathedral was; why should not the
Citizen make it a cathedral in troth, and
tear down the hallowed stroctore at Santa
Fe? ; .
" IA8T OF THE SEASON.
Mr. H. B. Hersey, director of the C. 8.
weather service for New Mexioo, pub
lishes the last of his weekly weather and
orop bulletins for 1895 in this number of
the New Mexican. It is similar to the
reports that have been regularly printed
in these columns throughout the season,
which is another way of saying that it
merits high praise as a trustworthy aud
satisfactory mirror of orop conditions in
this territory. The New Mexican takes
pleasure, not only in commending this
report, but those that have preceded it.
Mr. Hersey's reports have rendered the
territory a service of great value.
HON. W. S. HOPEWELL.
The announcement is made that the
executive committee of the Democratic
freeooinage propaganda has designated
Mr. W. S. Hopewell as the national com
mitteeman from New Mexico. The choice
is an excellent one. Mr. Hopewell is a
true Democrat and an earnest and con
sistent advocate of the free coinage prin
ciple. The New Mexican tenders its
congratulations both to Mr. Hopewell
and to the Democratic executive commit
tee that has seen fit to confer upon him
unsolicited this honor. If it makes simi
lar worthy selections of Democrats in all
the other states and territories there will
be no question about the friends of silver
controlling the next national Democratic
convention.
PRESS COMMENT.
ew Mexico and Denver.
Discoveries of mineral in a country
whioh is or should be tributary to Den
ver is of interest to the people of Colo
rado, and so discoveries of that kind in
New Mexioo and Arizona attract atten
tion here. From time to time informa
tion is published in the Republican to the
effect that mineral has been found in
those territories, but unfortunately there
is so little communication between New
Mexico and Arizona on the one hand and
Colorado on the other that the full ad
vantage of suoh reports is not realized.
The people living in those territories
should turn their attention more to Den
ver. They should recognize that this
city is their natural capital, and that as
the great mining center of the west it
should be strengthened in every way that
may lie in the power of people residing
in the Rooky mountains. Thus they
would awaken a local interest here in the
mineral resouroes of their sections. They
should visit Denver as frequently as pos
sible as they should direct their trade to
this place whenever opportunity pre
sents. The hope of both New Mexico and
Arizona is in the development of their
mineral resources, and the more closely
they tie themselves to Denver the more
speedily will this hope be realized. Den
ver Republican.
The Vault With the Legislature.
The recent opinion of Solicitor General
Victory upon this distribution of
public school funds will cause much un
easiness in the minds of those who are
contemplating the subdivision of old into
new school districts. The law as it
stands distinctly provides that "no dis
trict shall be entitled to receive any por
tion of the common sohool fund in which
a common school has not been taught at
least three months during the twelve
months preceding." If this section is
construed to the letter, it will act as a
penalty, by which now districts, however,
necessary to the purposes of the people,
will be deprived of that portion
of the public funds whioh fell to
them when incorporated in their
former limits. Suoh was not the
purpose of this provision, which
was rather intended to foroe the people
of the outlying country districts to main
tain the schools in operation by special
district levies, whenever the general coun
ty levy did not -prove sufficient. How
ever, no school superintendent oould be
oondemned for putting the most liberal
construction upon this section by con
tending that the benefits of the sohool
period in the old descended to the new
district. Undoubtedly this particular
provision has led to much confusion and
should be so amended and amplified by
our next legislature that the powers of
the sohool superintendents in the distribu
tion of funds would be clearly defined and
at the same time the new sohool districts
would be properly protected. Albuquer
que Democrat.

FFERS unequaled advantages to the farmer, frail grower. live stook raiser, dairyman, bee
keeper, and to the home-seeker generally.
The soil of the Pecos Valley is of high average fertility, and under irrigation produces bountiful crops of
most of the grasses, grains, vegetables, berries and fruits of the temperate and some of those of the semi
tropical zone. In suoh fruit as the peaoh, pear, plum, grape, prune, apricot, nectarine, cherry, quinoe, etc,
the Valley will dispute for the pre-eminence with California; while oompetent authority pronounces its
upper portions in particular the finest apple oonntry in the world.
Enormous yields of suoh forage orops as alfalfa, sorghum aud Egyptian eorn make the feeding of oattle
and sheep and the raising and fattening of hogs a very profitable occupation.
The cultivation of oanaigre a tanning material of great value is becoming an important industry in
the Pecos Valley, a home market having been afforded for all that oan be raised, at a price yielding a
handsome profit.
The climate of the Peoos Valley has no superior in the United States, being pre-eminently healthful and
henlth restoring.
Lands with perpetual water-rights are for sale at low prices and on easy terms. The water supply of
the Pecos Valley has no equal in all the arid region for oonstanoy and reliability; and this with the superb
dim ;ife, productive soil and the facilities afforded by the railway whioh extends through the Valley's en
tire length, will cause these lands to enjoy a oonstant, and at times rapid, increase in value.
The recent completion of the Pecos Valley Railway to Roswell will cause the mare rapid settlement
and development of the upper portions of the Valley, including the rich Feliz seotion. The oompany has
recently purchased many of the older improved farms about Roswell, and has now for sale lands to meet
the wants of all raw lauds, partially improved lands, as well as farms with houses, orchards and fields of
nlfulfn and other orops. In the vioinity of Roswell several pieoes of land have been divided into five and
ten acres tracts, suitable for orohards aud traok farms iu connection with suburban homes. Certain of
these tracts are being planted to orchards, and will be cultivated and oared for by the oompany for three
years at the end of whioh period they will be handed over to the purchasers. Write for pamphlet fully
describing the terms and conditions on whioh these several olassts of traots are sold.
