M. W. MJCGRATII, PROP
Congressman Toola of Montana, when
speaking on the territorial admission bill,
recited the woes of Montana in an elo
quent manner, and hia statement of facta
applies to every territory as well ns Mon
tana. In telling what congress had done
for Montana he said:
It has given us a system of courts in
herently wrong, and which can never be
made suitable to large communities.
it nas regulated tho number of our
judges, grossly inadequate in every in
stance, resulting in me cieluy and in many
cases the denmj of justice. It has arbi
trarily fixed the time when our local leg'
in) at ij ix? must meet and adjourn, to our
great damage and inconvenience.
It has denied us the authority to call an
extra session of our legislature without
the consent of the president, adding un
told hmdens lo a dependent, people. It
luis reserved the right to invalidate any
law which our legislature may pass, there
by destroying that full faith and credit
which .tr legislnture oujrht to command.
It his hoc-id us hand and foot by a law
which restrict? these growing nnd ambi
tious communities in the expenditure ol
money for public improvements.
It has declared what we shall teach in
our public school", and manifested a lack
of confidence in us in other instances of
legislation too numerous to mention.
It has attempted to tifie our industries.
by prohibiting nstrom selling our mining
properties in foreign markets, thus laving
upou us an embargo not hot no by citizens
of tho states.
It has exempted a railroad and the im
provement on its right of way for 8D
miles from taxation, furnishing another
evidence of the gross inequality of citizen
ship in and out of the territory.
It ha withheld from us our dowry of
lands which belongs to our school funds,
nnd re'used to give us any kind of a su
pervision or control over it until we become
a sute, and then sets deliberately to work
to prolong the time when that event shall
happen.
It has professed to give u a represrnta
tive in the lower house of congress, hut
deuies to us a vote, the only element of
representation which gives character or iu
fi tienen to a member.
It has left us without any kind of repre
sentation in the senate, and remita us to
the beggerly methods of tha lobbyist.
It has imposed on us with an iron band
the obligations Hud burdens of citizenship,
while it withholds its corresponding bene
fits by steadily denying to us participation
in the training of legislation and the right
of Mi.Trnge in national legi.-dation.
It has refused to appropriate tho sal
aries provided 'y law tor the hungry of
ficials wiiom it has beeu pleased to stud us
aud compels tuem to accept a measly stun
in full compensation, notwithstanding an
overflowing treasury.
It has refused to appropriate sufficient
money to extend the public surveys in the
territories, but has doled out annually its
driblets, which have otttinies been covered
back into the treasury, leaving our bound
aries undefined and our titles insecure.
It has failed to cause to be surveyed, se
lected and conveyed to tho grantees the
lauds falling within railroad grants within
the the territory, as required by law,
whereby millions of acres of laud owned
by rich corporations have escaped taxa
tion. It has persistently refused to pass laws
by which the limber or timber lauds in the
territories, except Washington, may be
leased or purchased, professing, however,
to give the righ, to actual settlers to cut
and remove the same for domestic pur
poses, while it has hedged in this privilege
with an odious and impracticable system of
j rules and regulations which has resulted
in harassing our citizens witn expensive
civil and criminal proceedings, based
wholly on the ex-parto statements of a
crouching and obsequous special agent or
spy, who has been taught to believe that
his term of ofiice will be measured by the
extent of his activity in stirring up strife.
It has by the organization of these ter
ritories invited the settlement und occu
pancy of the frontier, apon the promise
and obligation that our personal property
should be protected against depredations
by hostile Indians. Those promises have
been honored more in the breach than in
the observance. The history of our early
settlement is red with the blood of the
pioneers who blazed the trails of civiliza
tion in these remote lands by the lurid
light of their burning homes, which went
down in ashes before the merciless savage
Millions of dollars of unpaid claims, mil
dewed by age and growing out uf these
atrocities, are piled up, while the heroes
of these troublous times, overcome with
the weight of years and no longer ablo to
conquer their feelings, have gone to join
the silent majority, leaving Jestttute wid
owi and orphans to keep alive before con
gress the memory of their trials aud tribu
lationa. Verily, the cruelty of congress
cuts as deeply as the scalping knife.
It has suffered to be fastened upou us the
odious system of carpet-bag rule and dora
iuatton which seems to inhere in the terri
torial form of government. The ad.nin'i
tratioa of President Garfield and the pre
ent administration were alike bound by
party platforms to relieve us from this ob
noxious ays'em, but both have failed.
We know our capacity for local self-gov
ernment. We remember that "srndlng
hither a swarm of officials," etc., was one
of the causep which lead to our declaration
of independence. From that day to this
carpet-baggers have been odious, and
their presence among ns is and ever will
be as poisonous and destructive to good
government as the insidiout growth of
communism.
Tradition tells us that the wise men all
came from the East, and so our republi
can friends, unwilling to depart from the
teachinga of the past, determined that his
tory should repeat itself, and proceeded to
treat us in their own good time to a fine
assortment of political dudes. SonW of
these hothouse specimens, who were too
frail to stand transplanting to a northern
clime, soon gave up their commissions and
returned to the genial influences of their
own civilization. Others, holding relig
iously to the doctrine that a federal officer
should neither die nor resign, stayed with
us, became acclimated, and promise in
yeara to come to develop into tolerably
good und useful citizeus. But under dem
ocratic supremacy we find that quito an
iuvnsion has been made on what was sup
pced to be nu inflexible fact. Instead of
the wise men coming from the East, wo
now learn that they came from the South.
Kentucky furnished us a governor, Ten
nessee a chief justice, Louisiana an associ
ate justice and a surveyor general, Texas
an associate justice, and Mississippi, Mary
land und Tennessee each an Indian agent.
Be it far from mu to reflect upon the in
tegrity of any gentleman sent to us by the
administration, or by implication to refl ;ct
upon tbesection whence ho came. These
conjiderations do not disturb or annoy us.
The insolence of office consequent upon
these alien appointments, and the lack of
coufidence thereby manifested in us con
stitute the gruvauian of the affront.
Time, ins'ead of healing, simply intensi
fies it. Nearly every day added to the
score of time brings some new appunt
ment from abroad, thus adding insult to
injury. Apes of forgiveness cannot con
done it, and Statehood alone can prevent
its recurrence.
Hereditary,
My father died of Cancer, and the name
trouble develope d near my right eye in
1883. It was at first a strawberry color,
but changed to purple, aud grew to the
size of a partridiTS egg. My riy'.it eye
became much inflamed, and the dreadful
disease was rapidly wasting my life away.
I used quite K number of remedies but
without benefit. At this ciisis I begun
taking Swift's specifiV. The improvement
was apparent in a few duys, and 1 contin
ued to us it until the cancer was entirtly
gone and uay health fully restored, un 1 I
know that S. S. S. alone did it, because 1
left oil' ail other treatment. It saved me
from this hereditary cancer, which went
away over two years ago and left not a
sign, and I owe my life, under Providence,
to S. S. S. Mus. Lacha E. Dkloa.w
Dawson, Ga., Sept. 2(i. IS?.
During the early part of the past spring
(18 Í8) my body was covered with boils.
At one time morn than fifty were counted
on my body and limbs. My face was not
exempt from the painful trouble. The us
ual remedies would do me no good. Just
why I began taking S. S. S. I do not know
but almost immediately I began to im
prove. I took nearly three bottles, and
fouud tuysvlf entirely well. It was your
medicine which effected the cure when ev
erything eUe had failed. Yours truly,

I was the victim for five or six years of
the worst boils that I ever saw, which the
doctors failed to cure. I began S. S. S
and in a short time the poison was driven
out of my system, aud not a 6igu of boils
or any other blood trouble has returned.
I recommend S. S. S. to everybody.

Black Range: About üfó.OUO worth of
sulphides were shipped from the Black
Range lixiviation works this week. This
shipment will give the company good re
turns over and above all expenses of the
late run. Of late there has been several
needed improvements addtd to the works
and several new tubs will soon be placed
in the leaching department, all of which
will add greatly to the capacity of the
mill aud render leaching and extracting
inore expeditious. The sulphides pro
duced by these works a.-e shipped to New
York and New Jersey as a much better
price is oblainud there than at other
points. It is the intention of the com
pany to soon make regular weekly ship
ments. Indeed it looks a though the Rus
sell process, when in the hands of an elli
cient manager, is a good and reliable pro
cess for this camp.

Tucson Citizen: The wheat planted on
the mesa as an experiment during the con
tinued wet weather about six weeks ago
gives promise of reaching perfect maturity
and yielding a good crop. Mr. Siewer who
has eight acres planted says the ground
now has absorbed a sufiicicnt amount of
water to make a crop sure and he ia feel
ing good over it.
renzo Cubada writes from Atlixco that
white visiting a pueblo in that district he
saw an immense animal flying through
the air that measured four "reatas," whose
wings were of groat size, and in the center
oj which there was a whitish cone. In
its passage the noise made by ta wings re
sembled thunder. The monster appeared
to have come from Popocatepetl.
New Mexican: Wm. Carson, well and
favorably known here as the son of the fa
mous scout, Kit, died at his home in Fort
Garland, on Saturday last tinder most pe
culiar circumstances. On Fridny he went
into his stable and as he passed a stall one
of the horses kicked at him striking his re
volver in the scabbard, which was dis
charged, the ball entering the thick part
of the thigh, ranging down and lodged
near the knee joint. Dr. Gale of Alamo
sa was called und probed for the ball,
which ho found had passed through the
knee joint, lodging in the bones below
the knee, where it would be difficult to ex
tract if. Owing to the bad condition of
Carson'j system the doctor expressed
doubts as to his recovery. He decided,
however, to return the next day and am
putate the limb, if the man was able to
stmd the operation. Within half an
liter after the doctor's departure, howev
er, Carson died. He leaves n wife and
four children.
Folsom Idea: Every one should see thai
lion skin, measuring eight feet from tip to
tip. It was killed near Briggs cañón by
.lose Higino Ruibal, and is now on exhi
bition at Drew & Phillips'.
Tne Arizona legislature has passed and
the governor has signed the bill removing
the ca itol from Preseott to Phenix. The
legislature adjourned last Monday to
meet at Pheuii next Thursday.
Virgiira Enterprise: The Gold nnd
Curry boys who are running cars on top
have quite a grade to run on .from the
wovl.s to the dump. They have brakes on
their runs and ride down at a good jog,
but often it id dif'icult to restrain the car
by apr.lj ;TK' an iron brake ngi'.inst an iron
wheel. To i;kc more power to the brake
they have used sand, which worked pretty
well, but Joe UlaKcly.day belore yesterday,
tried to improve upon sand, and stealing
Ziiumer's resin he applied it libeiaily to
tho brake of his coach. Gathering an au
dience around him, to see how it worked,
he set sail for the dump. The iron heat
ing melted the resin and made a fine lu
bricating oil, and Joe sailed liks a shot.
He struck the stopping post and the car
stopped and iunnetiately changed its
shape, and Joe went on down tho dump
ike a mass of pork. The audience
brought tho pieces to town and had them
:arefully sjwed together, uud hopes are en
tertained that Joe will be himself agaiu in
time to accept a deputysbip.
Silver Belt: The productiveness of the
lands of tho Salt river valley and adjacent
thereto in Gila county is phenotuinsl and
some of the results obtained by thorough
cultivation would hardly lie credited in the
less favored sections ot the east. J. C.
Norion is one of our uiost successful farm
ers. Last season one or nis principal
crops was potatoes, and he succeeded in
producing two crops from the same land.
His first planting in Marcri produced four
ton lo the ucre, and from the second
planting in August he realized three, tons
per acre. If there is any spot in the coun
try that can beat that record we wouid like
to hear of it.
A soldiers' monument has been erected
in tl-' Raton cemetery by Sedgwick post
No. .
Prof. Powell recomnwrius to congress-
that the first experimental reservoirs for
testiug the merits of irrigation be con
structed along tho Jcmez river iu Berna
lillo county.
The Santa Fe road has taken off its col
lectors and the conductors again juggle
the ticket punch.
Socorro Times: The snow fall in the
mountains and generally over the territo
ry is unusually large this winter. This
portends an increased water supply and a
generation of moisture that will probably
also increase the rainlull next summer, a
fact which means much lor the grazing,
agricultural and other iuterests ot New
Mexico. In many parts of the territory
the snow has piled uiany feet deep and
each additional storm now adds to its vol
uuie.
