"The New Mexican is the oldest news
paper in New Mexico. It is sent to every
Poft Office in the Territory and has a large
tJd growing circulation among the intelli
gent and progressive people of the south-vat.
SATURDAY. NOVEMBER .
Tni New Mexican prints the news.
Santa Fe county's public sohools are
doing splendidly under the vigilant oare
of Superintendent Cosme Herrera.
The nnkindest cut of all is John Sher
man's denunciation of Brice. That's
hitting a man when he is down with a
vengeance.
The Populists have sadly lost their
grip not only in Kansas, but in Colorado,
Illinois, Mississippi, Kentuoky and else
where. They may make a feint at keep
ing up their party of organization next
year, but we doubt it. Better get back
to first principles and take sides with one
or the other of the oUl parties. Let's
light it out on straight lines in future.
"COOD J3URNALISM
Our esteemed contemporary, the Deal
ing Headlight, is mistaken. The New
Mexican assumes no superiority over its
colleagues of the press throughout, the
territory. It puts itself up on no pin
nacle. It does, however, reserve the right
to "talk back" once in a while. When its
enemies become too reckless in their
statements, when newspapers impose
upon journalistic license, or when the
public good would seen to demand that
it differ with its fellow craftsmen, it has
always spoken out in meeting, but never
theless it esteems the good will of the
New Mexico press in general and the
weekly press in particnlar, recognizing
the latter as an able and potent factor in
righting all wrongs and defending the
interests of the people. We are happy
to say that we have never had to take
issue with the Headlight for a breach of
publio faith or for lending its columns
toward the disgraoe of good journalism.
A BIT PERSONAL.
The New Mexican is averse to consum
ing space in its columns for replying to
attacks made upon its editor by either
the lawyer-politioians possessed of scrib
bler's itch or newspaper men who so
recklessly juggle with truth as does Allen
Kelley. In the case of the latter, how
ever, who, as is pretty well known, has
never lost an opportunity to misrepresent
the New Mexican under its present man
agement, we desire to abrogate the rule
long enough to say:
Mr. Eelley's oft-repeated charge in the
Independent Democrat that Max Frost,
the former owner of the New Mexican,
and a Republican, has had, since January 1,
1894, and now has, any influence in mould
ing the political policy of this paper un
der the present management, ii not
based on truth nor fact i.i the remotest
degree.
The straightforward, upright and fear'
less Demooratio policy pursued by the
New Mexican sinoe its present editor as
sumed control is itself a refutation of this
charge.
The files of the paper amply testify to
the truthfulness of these statements.
IN THE LIGHT OF TRUTH.
The Albuquerque Citizen approvingly
copies the appended truthless and con
temptible editorial paragraph from the
Socorro Chieftain:
"By what rule of law do Tom Smith
and Judge Langhlin draw an order on the
territorial auditor for all the funds but
$4.76 in the territorial treasury, coming
from the Albuquerque National bank and
savingB bank, that were appropriated by
the last legislature to hold courts in the
several districts with? Some one who
has the Interest of New Mexico at heart
had better look into this thing. What
business have those fellows with the pub
lio money, anyway f"
We frankly confess that we approach
the task ot dealing with suoh mental and
moral microbes as the so-called editors of
the Sooorro Chieftain and the Albuquer
que Citizen with a good deal of reluc
tance; but, realizing that God for some
insorutable purpose permits these poison
emitting creatures to have the use of suoh
dangerous facilities as newspapers, and
that even the minutest partiolee of poison
may produce misohievona results, we pro
ceed to the treatment of the paragraph
quoted in the same sort of spirit that
would prompt us to warn this or any other
community against a miscreant caught
in the aot of attempting to spread the
germ of diphtheria or scarlet fever
among the school ohildren.
There is not even a trace of truth in
the paragraph, and "Col." Williams and
"Col." Hughes both knew it when they
gave it publicity. It wae oonoeived in
in and born in iniquity. The motivee
back of it are among the lowest and
meanest that ever inflnenoe human ae
tion. It gratified the pitiful personal
malice of this precious pair of colonels,
nd at the same time presumably pan
dered to the pleasure of their noble
master, who doubtless will reward them
by judioious promotion from ordinary
liok-spittles to decorated and bedizened
boot-laps.
It will be perceived that the paragraph
quoted makes no direot charge. Accord
ing to the usual custom of cowardly liars,
it simply makes damaging insinuations,
and, doubtless having in mind the
proverb that "a lie will travel a leagae
while truth is putting on its boots," its
unscrupulous author hoped to mislead
and prejudice many people before his
falsehoods would be overtaken and re
futed. But, measurably at last, he indulged a
delusion. About the time "Col." Wil
liams, a bright and shining luminary of
Mr. Catron's bar association, was pro
pounding his brazen questions and in
sinuating that "Tom Smith and Jndge
Langhlin" had drawn the entire special
territorial court fuud "but $4.75," the
New Mexican procured from the terri
torial auditor and promptly published
figures showing the exact condition of
that fund. That article was given
the benefit of this paper's wide circula
tion on November 1 and it has since
been copied by numerous other terri
torial papers. Thus "Col." Williams was
caught and convicted with greater celer
ity than he anticipated. Here are the
figures we then printed:
The total amount of money so far
placed to the credit of the special . terri
torial court fund arising from Albuquer
que National bank dividends is $15,
441.72, against which warrants have been
drawn and paid to the amount of $14,
108.49, leaving a cash balance on hand of
$1,848.23. Under the law each of the
judicial distriots of the territory is en
titled to draw $6,175 against this fund, no
provision being made for distributing
the actual cash as paid in pro rata among
the different districts, and it has hence
happened that the money has been
drawn out on the principle of first come
first served as follows:
First judicial district, ' $7,067.26; 2nd
district, $2,100.48; 3d district,$2,000; 5th
district, $3,940.75. It will be perceived
that the 4th or Chief Justice Smith's dis
trict has not drawn a cent of the money,
while, owing to extraordinarily long and
costly terms of oourt, Judge Laughlin's
district lacks $107.74 of having drawn its
entire shnre of the fund. Unquestionably
future dividends will so increase the fund
that all the other distriots will get their
full share, and the fact that some of the
distriots may have to wait a few months
for the actual cash is the only possible
cause of complaint in the premises.
Sinoe the above statement was printed,
Jndge Hamilton has drawn from the fund
mentioned $498.38 for court expenses in
Eddy county and Judge Collier has drawn
$505.03 for oourt expenses in Bernalillo
connty. Henoe when the auditor closed
his books last evening the exact condi
tion of the special territorial oonrt fund
was as follows:
Total cash paid into fund $15,451 72
Cash drawn therefrom 15,111 90
Cash balance on hand $ 339 82
The amount drawn is ohnrged up against
the several districts as follows:
Judge Lauerlilin's district $ 6,067 26
Judge Collier's district 2,605 51
Judge Huntz' district 2,C30 00
.Indue Hamilton's district 4,439 18
Judge Smith's district nothing
Total $15,111 90
So it appears from the reoords of the
auditor's office that, at the time the flabby,
truth-hating blatherskite of the Chieftain
and the cringing ooward of the Citizen
(who solemnly swore that he did not know
who wrote a three column editorial for
his own paper) were accusing "Tom
Smith and Judge Langhlin" of having re
duced the territorial oonrt fund to $4.75
and wanting to know what "those fel
lows" were doing with the publio money,
there was an actual cash balance of
$1,343.49 in that fund; that $1,003.41 have
since then been drawn from the fund for
use in the 2d and 6th judioial districts,
leaving a balance of $389.82 still on hand;
that not a dollar had then been drawn
from the fund for use in Chief Justice
Smith's district nor has a dollar since
been drawn from the fund for that pur
pose. If these facts do not brand "Col."
Williams and "Col." Hughes as deliberate
and malignant liars it is beoause there is
no more space left on their bodies for the
placing of such brands.
For the information of respectable
people, we will add that the territorial
oonrt fund has been drawn by the clerks
of the several judicial districts in com
pliance with the provisions of chapter
XXII, of the aots of the 31st legislative
assembly, and six red-handed murderers
under sentence of death in this county
alone are among the wholesome and
righteous results accomplished by its ex
penditure. If it is true that the statute
was rather loosely drawn, and should have
made definite provision for the pro rata
distribution of the money among the dis
triots, as it was paid into the treasury,
the legislature, not the judiciary, should
be blamed. As a matter of faot, however,
no serious injustice haa been done, even
to the people of Chief Justice Smith's
district, for the reason that additional
dividends will undoubtedly soon replen
ish the fund and all the districts will get
the full amount of the balances coming to
them.
unfortunate
Cod-liver oil suggests
consumption, which is al
most unfortunate.
Its best use is before you
fear consumption ; when
you begin to get thin, weak,
run down ; then is the pru
dent time to begin to take
care, and the best way to
take care is to supply the
system with needed fat and
strength. Scott's Emulsion
of cod-liver oil, with "hypo
phosphites, will bring back
plumpness to those who
have lost it, and make
strength where raw cod
liver oil would be a burden.

The
PE VALLEY
of . . .
NEW-RflEXie'
I FFEES uneqnaled advantages to the farmer, frait grower, live etook raiser, dairyman, bee
keener, and to the home-Beeker irenerallv.
The soil of the Peoos Valley is of high average fertility, and under irrigation produoes bonntiful crops of
most of the grasses, grains, vegetables, berries and fruits of the temperate and some of those of the semi
tropioal zone. In suoh fruit as the peach, pear, plum, grape, prune, aprioot, nectarine, cherry, quinoe, etc,
the Valley will dispute for the pre-eminence with California; while competent authority pronounoes its
upper portions in particular the finest apple oountry 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 ooonpation.
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 can be raised, at a prioe yielding a
handsome profit.
The climate of the Peoos Valley has no superior in the United States, being pre-eminently healthful and
health restoring. - ,
Lands with perpetual water-rights are for sale at low prioes and on easy terms. The water supply of
the Peoos Valley has no equaLin all the arid region for oonstanoy and reliability; and this with the superb
climate, productive soil and the faoilities afforded by the railway which 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 oompletion of the Peoos Valley Bailwav to Boswell will oanse the more rapid settlement
and development of the upper portions of the Valley, inoluding the rich Feliz seotion. The oompany has
recently purchased many of the older improved farms about Roswell, and has now for Bale lands to meet
the wants of all raw lands, partially improved lands, as well as farms with houses, orohards and fields of
alfalfa and other orops. In the vicinity of Boswell several pieoes of land have been divided into five and
ten acres tracts, suitable for orohards and truok farms in connection with suburban homes. Certain of
these traots are being planted to orohards, 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 elassts of traots are sold.
