Campbell, in the United States court
yesterday, entered upon his second term
as prosecuting attorney Of the govern
ment for this territory. During the term
inst closed Of nearly four years. Judge
Campbell has discharged the duties of
the responsible position with marked
ability and to the entire satisfaction of
the government and our people. His re.
appointment was made without any op-
position in the territory, that we know
OF, and although there was an active eff
fort, backed by influential and leading
politicians of other states to secure the
appointment for some of their friends,
yet Judge Campbell's record as an effi-
cient and able officer ranked 10 high, that
his reappointment was made without
hesitatisn or struggle on his part. It
was fairly and honorably earned, and he
will continue to ill the place in the fu-
ture, as in the past, with ability and
credit.

from Pine ridge that contract to grade
two hundred miles more of the Sioux

would bring the line to some point on

aud not to exceed twenty Eve miles from

that Lawrence and Custer counties pool

that he did not understand their

peared in print in connection with
a description of certain wares he

them il an advertisement Of a mer-

for the purpose Of catching the at

New Mexico Correspondent New York
Tribune.
A new railroad scheme which is
budding into considerable import
anco is being agitated here. Last
winter a charter was obtained for a
railroad from FL Paso to White
Oaks--2O miles in Texas and IA in
New Mexico. This would traverse
eastern New Mexico, passing east
Of the Organ mining camp near
the Jarilla mountains, whore there
are large deposits OF copper, across
the splendid grazing grounds Of the
Sacramento Valley, tap the mining
district about Tularosa, pass west
Of the Moscalero Apache agency,
and entor White Oaks, which is in
the center Of nearly forty miles of
excellent bituminOus coal. George
Noble, tho son-inlaw Of the late
Thomas Scott, became interested
with local holders of the charter,
and has been the chief worker in
the project. But 1t has occurred 10
the other roads that an extension
could easily be built from White
Oaks north to the Atlantic and
Pacific west of the line of the In
dian Territory. The completion Of
both lines therefore give a through
line from III Paso to st. Louis,
which would be shorter than the
route Of the Texas Pacific or the
Santa Fe.
The latterroad has already made
surveys from Las Vegas, Lava and
one or two other points south into
eastern New eXico, towards White
Oaks. But in its chartering various
routes throughout the territory the
Santa Fe failed TO get a charter for
aroad from the Texas line 20 White

Our Garr91 Gauge Project.

We ere rIoo to $50 ablo 10 say
to .ho people of Albuquerque that
tho project for the construction OF a
eystom Of narrow gauge railroads,
suggested and discussed somewhat
deliberately by tho Democrat a Iow
week, apo, is taking tangible and
encouraging shape. The attention
ofp0rties in New YORK and Chicago
has been drawn to the project
considerable correspondence with
Eastern capitalists has been had,
and preliminary stops to the organ
ixation of a company for the con
atruction of an important branch of
tho proposed ay8tom have boon
taken.
That branch is o line to the
White Oaks mining region, south
cast Of Albuquerque, and about
one hundred and fifty miles in ex-
tent. Theproposed line Is through
the Tiioras canon and thence along
down the valleys on the cast Of the
Manzano range. These valleys en-
brace a large extent Of good agri-
cultural country, an abundance OF
the necessary timber at convenient
distances-are rich in The prOduc-
ton Of wool cattle and mines, and
along which are scattered q num-
Der of villages, proving the capacity
of the country for all the general
products Of agriculture, mining and
trade.
Tho Importance of such a road,
especially as the initiative to a sys-
tenn of similar lines ~centering at
Albuquerque, is almost beyond
computation, and should at once
enlist the active cooperation OF
every man who has Il dollar at stake
in the town, or expects to remain
and do business here.
Ii is now evident that a consider
able portion Of the necessary means
can be procured abroad, but our
citizens must first demonstrate
their faith in the project and in
their town by reasonable effort on
their part, before they can ask
strangers to put in their money

A Favorable View.

Mexico seems to be attracting
the attention of onterprising yam
KEGS just now as much or more than
any other country. There are fine
opportunities for making money
there in various ways. The mines
are rich in gold and silver, but they
are worked precisely as they were
a century ago. No advantage has
been taken Of modern machinery
or modern ways of working.
What was good enough for their
forefathers is good enough for
them.
1t is the same with their farming,
sugar raising, and what few manu-
facturers they have. Everything
is conducted in the primitive style
of years ago, leaving all labor say
ing machines out in the cold. AS
a consequence, there are vast re-
sources that are almost entirely un-
developed, and which await energy
and enterprise such as the natives
have not, but which are possessed
by u own people to the fullest
extent.
1t is not strange that an immense
trade is ~foreseen, and hat all ovel
the United States are those who
are preparing to take advantage Of
these possibilities. With the
building of railroads and the open.
ing up of the interior, the tendency
thitherward will be even greater
than now, and the time is not fal
distant when the capitalists of Mex
leo will be citizens Of the United
States. Optic.

Wooden Indians.

An oXchago in commenting on
the rapid increase in the population
of the noble red men as cigar signs,
says, "a wooden Indian represents
tobacco about as much AS a live
rcd man represents science" This
is probably true, and still why is it
that the front Of almost every cigar
and tobacco store in the country
stands Il noble red man holding in
his hand a bunch of wooden cigars,
and n tomahawk. He stands thoro
In summer and in winter, and a
cigar store is thought to be incom-
plete without a big injun, standing
a game sentinel in the door and
soaring women in commissions. The
tobacco and cigars for sale in the
store comes from Connecticut or
Wisconsin where IN Indian such as
that represented by the tobacco
sign, has not been seen for years,
and one-halfth the present generation
wouldn't know what it was if they
saw an Indian rugged out as the
cigar sign represents them to be.
And another thing, you don't see
such Indians in the country any
way, nor never did, and it looks
as if there was fraud even in the
cigar signs. An Indian cigar sign
to be a truthful representative of
the noble red-man Of to-day should
be decked out with less feathers
and fnery and more army blankets
with "U. S." on them, and grease
and dirt. The Indian cigar sign
is perhaps all right enough rs a
representative Indian, whether he
represents tobacco or not, but he
would look far more hfe-like
if his hair was not banged with so
much precision as it is. Indians

country, don't veal their hair in

people or che pious press Of this
country don't care "A cent whether
the Indian represents tobacco OF
not, but there is a growing demand
for less fraud in cigar signs, as well
as everything else, and unless there
is reform in cigar-sign red men they
will be obliged to move ont west

as the generation now growing VI

1t is quite possible that a COM
pany will be organized here in the

ing a narrow guage railroad from
Albuquerque to White Oaks. This
viii bean enterprise which from its
very nature will carry with it a sub
stantial promise of success. White
Oaks is too important a place to be
obliged to depend upon wagons for
its freight, and buckboards for its
travellers. A railroad running into
that country would find enough to
sustain it. Albuquerque, of course,
would have everything TO gain

Debt Payment.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
The debt statement for NOycm-
Der / is one Of unusual interest, be
cause it shows for the first time the
issue of gold certificates Of the new
series. But thi5 issue in no way
affects tho amount of the debt less
cash in the treasury, which docrcas-
cd $15,G20. 1871 in the month OF
October, and has decreased $780,
423, AIS during the four months OF
the current fiscal year. The aver
age for the four months is therefore
S15, 100, 600 monthly, whereas the
unprecedented reduction during the
last fiscal year was at the rate of
$I2, $40, 900 monthly. Should the
decrease Of debt continue through
the fiscal year at the rate thus far,
it would exceed $181, 000, 900.
Yot the revenue in October was
only 1872, Csc, 1888, against S36, 574,
2l9 during the same month last
year, q decrease Of SO, 900, 900: tho
decrease in customs was only &254,
600, in internal revenue over ST..
600, goo, and the miscellaneous re
ccipts over 50, 900, 900. Probably
the complete returns for the month
will increase the receipts Of tho lat
ter class. The decline in the re
ccipts from internal revenue is in
directly tho result of the attemp
to get the whiskoy tax reduced a
the last session Of congress, and o
the later operations Of the whiskoy
ring, which seems from recent dis
patches to have broken up in
quarrel.
