An Important Matter.

In case of war between England
and Russia one of the effects
would be the increased price of
bread-stuff in this country. There
is now little doubt but that
these two powers will begin con-
flicG soon, and with this fact be-
fore us the duty of the farmer is
lmperative-to plant more corn.
Nothing so unhinges the success
and prosperity of farming COM
munity than failure TO produce
suficiency of corn and other
grain for its own use. At this
lime the corn crop is promising,
though small; but is it certain
5hat the acreage is sufficiently
large in case of a drought to pro-
tect our farmers against inadequa-
cy of this cereal? It is known t.
most of our farmers that the sm,il
grain crop will be sho1t, and,
therefore, it behooves chem to ex-
anime closely aid ascertain, if
possible, what their status would
be in the event of q failure in the
aorG crop. 1t is possible to grow
corn in this latitude planted as
late as June. This can be done,
however, only by heavy fertilizing
and good seasons, and we would
suggest TO our friends that they
plant every foot Of their land pos
sible in corn. 1t is always best to
be on the safe side, and we hope
our farmers will not neglect to
think of this matter soberly and
seriously.

Memorial Day.

MONDAY evening at Gnf00O CLOCK
large, intelligent and enthusias-
tic audience assembled at Hart's
Hall to pay a tribute of respect to
our fallen heroes. A few minutes
after three the military company
marched in and took seats in front.
The exercises were then opened
with prayer by Rev. A. M. Will
liams. The choir then sang in a
solemn and impressive manner,
"Let the Dead and the Beautiful
Rest" After this song Miss
Claude Farrar recited in splen-
did style the beautiful poem writ
ten by Mrs. Banks, of Columbus,
in honor of the Southern dead.
The choir then sang, "Cover Them
over with Beautiful Flowers"
after which Rev. A. M. Williams,
the orator of the day, was intro
duced. His speech was unique
and impressive, full of thought
and sentiment. He spoke of ma
tions celebrating great victories,
and said we are not met to cele-
brate victory, but to perpetuate
the deeds of our fallen heroes
The speaker referred in a touch
ing manner to the nobleness of
character for which Lee, Jackson,
Johnson, n,Stewart, and other South
ern generals were noted.
When the speaker finished the
choir sang that beautiful song
"Rest Comrades, Rest" After
this song the audience was enter
tained with a recitation delivered
by Miss Loomis in an attractive
style.
The military company then
formed at the foot of the steps,
the ladies and citizens forming
behind them, and all marched to
the cemetery. After the ladies
had decorated the graves with
flowers the military company was
drawn up in line and fired three
salutes, after which the benedic-
ton was pronounced and all re-
turned home feeling that they had
honored the noblest dead that ev-
er slept beneath the sod.

NEW MExruo's suRvEyoR-GENEnAL.

Although almost a stranger to us, we join the large majority of the press of New Mexico in defense of Geo. w. Julian, the newly appointed Sur. veyor-General of New Mexico, from the personal attacks made upon him by the Indianapolis Lou,nak That paper makes personal attack upon Mir. Julian, in which it is stated that one Ezra Hayes, of Lawrenceburg, Indiana. an alleged personal friend of General Julian, is organizing "deep laid plot" to grasp public domain here in the interest of an immense new cattle corporation. According to this we'll organized lie, New York barking firm and one Thompson Supposed to be Geo. w. Thompson, of Trinidad, Colo.-he of Maxwell land grant notoriety) put up the nee, essary inducement. Hayes is to use his influence with Julian to secure "pointers" on lands, and the entire combination is to share in the bene, fits.
 This scheme to iniure the reputa- tion ot General Julian in his new home, has been sent out by the Asso ciated Press, but that gentleman is so far above those engaged in the villain ous scheme, that it falls to the ground without effect. The land grabbers and thieves of New Mexico are doubt. less in the plot, as the we'll known reputation of the new Surveyor-Gen- eral, who has spent SO many years in the public land service, and who is famillarwith the rascailties perpetrated under past administrations, awakens Tn them the thought that his work oi reform will ring in the ears of some of them. Gen. Julian never before heard ot Ezra Hayes, and Thompson is also myth to him. The land swindlers of our sister territory know for what purpose Surveyor.General Julian was sent to New Mexico, and if they could succeed in crushing nim on the eve of his administration their purpose would be accomplished We only hope and pray that President Cleveland will give Arizona Survey or'General like MT. Julian.

While in Santa Fe few days since we had the pleasure of calling upon Hon. E. G. Ross, the newly appoint ed Governor of New Mexico. We found him buslly engaged at his desk, pouring over voluminous correspon. dente and business matters, at which he ,oils from early morn until late at night. He finds his official duties aICu2us and unceasing, as his office IS thronged with constituents every day, but he diSpatche business with Il c air of an adept, and gives entire satisfaction to his people. Gov. Ross attends alone to every detail of his office, and holds his tease" six days in the week without tiring. We hope Arizona will be as fortunate as New Mexico in the selection of her new Governor.
