We understand that several Jus
tees, who were elected in Novem-
Der, have failed to qualify as such,
leaving a vacancy in those precincts
which should be filled at once, In
order to have law and order, it is
highly necessary to have some one
to execute the law in every com
munity throughout the county. II
is true Lincoln has of late become
the most peaceablc and law-abiding
county in the Territory, yet this
state of affairs may not continue
long where law officers so sadly
neglect the trusts imposed III
them.

uIfthe connties in the northe

"If the counties in the northern
part of the Territory have mineral
why don't they show itl" This
question has time and again been
asked by perhaps the majority of
prospoctors, especially those in So
zorro, Dona Ana and Grant coun-
ties. The northern part Of New
Mexico has mines and mineral and
would undoubtedly be recognized
as the leading district were it not
cursed with monopolies and land
grants. Prospectors will not risk
their all in finding claims and dis
covering mineral, and in the end
have a lot Of land sharks come in
and take it away. Lincoln county
luckily escaped this class Of grab
bers, and it is safe to saythat with
in a very few years the mountains
OF Lincoln county will become well
prospected, and as every poor man
has the same oppertunityof obtain
ing mines, the outlook for this
county is better than any Of the
northern counties. - Albuquerque

ing Secretary of the Interior Joslyn
agreed to lease to Carol I. Hobart
and Henry f. Douglas, Of Dakota
territory, 4,440 acres within the
Yellowstone National Park for

ready for signature, On December
Z, the Senate, ut the instance Of
Vest, instructed the Secretary OF
the Interior to furnish the Senate
with copies of the agreement and
proposed lease. The matter was
referred to the committee on terri
tories to investigate, and the com
mittce inclines to the conclusion
that the Interior Department has
transcribed its authorityin making
the agreement, and has agreed on
bill clearly defining the duty Of the
department and also extending the
area of tho Park on tho east to
Olive mountain and on the south
to Cedar mountains and southwark

SOME FACTS TO BE CONSIDERED

bOME tbOIS ~ BE SUHelDEItEO.
This talk about the admission
Of New Mexico as a State into the
Federal Union seems to be, to say
the least, a little premature. Some
people seem to think hat it is q
consumation devoutly to be wished
that it is something liable to
happen at any moment, and all
that is necessary TO accomplish
this end, is for Congress to simply
declare it a State, and it is done.
They seem TO entirely overlook
certain grave considerations, which
it may be necessary to weigh can
didly before forming a too hasty
conclusion.
First Congress passes an En-
mailing Act, allowing the Territory
to call q Constitutional Convention.
a constitution is framed and pro-
mulgated. a general election is
then called, and the people decide
by ballot, as at ordinary elections,
on its adoption or rejection. Ii
adopted the Secretary of the Terri
tory certifes to the fact and for
wards the result, together with o
copy of the constitution so adopted,
to the President Of the United
States, who, if lie approves the &C
ton taken, issues a proclamation
declaring the Territory admitted as
one OF the States of the Union.
Then q new election is to be call
ed, State officers and members of
both branches of the State Legis-
lature are to be elected, and a vast
amount of other new machinery to
be put in motion before things are
i'll active, running operation.
In the meantime these things
have not been run on strictly be-
nevolent principles. Thousands Of
dollars have been squandered in
reaching this position, where we
can more readily overreach our
selves. A little prestige may have
been gained, a few men may have
secured ornamental positions for
themselves, but the people will
have to foot the bills.
1t is notorious that a State gov
eminent is a much more expensive
affair, than a Territorial. The
question is, what is there to be
gained by the change? Are our
present Territorial officers in any
way inferior to those elected by the
several States? Are the executive
and financial affairs of New Mexi-
co administered with less ability,
honesty and uprightness, than
those of Colorado or New York?
Would a free, untrammclled ballot
place men in office, from the ranks
of our citizens, who would give any
better satisfaction than men now
at the helm? Would a State Leg
islature be likely TO enact any bet
ter laws for us than they would as a
Territorial Legislature as a major
ity of them would again be elected
if we should become a State.
Would the ornamental furniture OF
a State government, counterbalance
the additional expense of running
it!
These are some of the questions
it might be well for the people to
ask themselves before signing any
petitions, asking for a change il
the existing order of things, to
help the political schemes of a few
ambitious men, or before taking W
the popular cry ''New Mexico as
a State" and then shut their eyes
:. as to the benefits or injury to be
derived thcrefrom.
