THE ARMIJo MATTER.

In discussing the criticisms Of the
press on the Bernalillo sheriff matter
the Albuquerque Journal has the fol-
lowing to say on the subject: +" Other
sherifis, all over the territory, have ig-
nored the law requiring them to make
regular settlements. If our ultra vir-
tuous neighbors of the Optic and Re
view have such a profound regard for
the forms of law that they would put
Sheriff Armijo out of office for having
failed to make his settlement on the
day required by law, why didn't they
set up such a howl long ago, and de-
mand the removal of officers nearer
home? Why should they for years
remain conveniently blind to the
same offense on the part Of others,
and then jump at once to such ex-
trcmes by invoking the severest pen
atty of the law upon a man who has
complied in the spirit of the statute
if not in the letter? They must ex-
cuse us five still hold to the belief
that there is a niger in the woodpile
somewhere. Such spasams of excru-
tiating honesty are so rare in this al
titude that it is very difficult to make
the public believe that they are not
uper-induced by some cause other
than a patriotic devotion to the pub

PROTECT THE STOCK.

Whatever may be the other inter
ests of New Mexico, her stock inter
ests cannot be ignored. Thousands
upon thousands of cattle roam over
her mesas and through her valleys, in
which are invested millions of dol
lars, and which constitute one of her
great elements of wealth. Her cattle
men are among her best citizens and
are of that class who are likely to be
permanent. Her miners make their
millions and are gone. Her laborers
are transient, but her stock men stay
forever. Then, in the light of reason,
they should be protected. A disease
heretofore unknown in America has
made its appearance in neighboring
state, which, If allowed TO spread,
will entail millions of loss on the cat
tie men of the country. Let it be in

THE FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE,

From the Kansas City Live Stock
Record we CLEAN some facts in regard
to the foot and mouth disease now
prevailing in some sections of Kansas,
and which is creating terror and con-
sternation among stockmen every
where. The disease has been un-
known in the United States until its
recent occurrence in Kansas. From
whence it came or how it came is un-
known. 1t has troubled Europe for
years, and was confined to that quar-
ter of the civilized world until 1872,
when it appeared in Australia. The
primary symptoms of the disease are
a swelling of the ankle, which after
two or three weeks breaks and supper
alton begins. This results in the loss
of the hoofs after a few weeks, leaving
the animal to hobble around on its
stubs. The tongue also becomes
swollen and liberated. In many
cases the disease does not prove fatal
but leaves the animals helpless Grip
plies. The only remedy for it seems
to be the killing Of the cattle. Its
contagious features are peculiar. 1t
is often conveyed in the clothing of
those who attend the cattle, and even
by birds, but is not conveyed by the
atmosphere, a small stream of water
or even a public highway stopping it.
After the afflicted animals have been
killed and the ground plowed for
three or four weeks it has been known
to be communicated to animals pass
ing over it. While it is confined
chiefly to cattle, other animals have
been known to take it from contact
with them, and in some instances
even the men who attend them while
sick have been known to take it. 1t
seems to have its origin in clubfooted
or defoped cattle, and never ap-
pears among perfect animals except
by contagion.
Las Vegas daily gazette., 1884-03-18

troduced into New Mexico and the
loss to stockmen and the territory in
general cannot be estimated. The
Legislature is now in session, and now
is the time to take steps to prevent a
disaster which might overwhelm the
territory. Though every other inter
est may be neglected, let the present
legislature adopt such measures as
will prevent the importation of that
disease. No state or territory could
