 Some supposed friends of a newspaper nave peculiar ideas as to what kind of Items paper requires. Not long since agentlemen came into the sauctum of a Texas paper and said to the editor:

 "All right, fetch on your items, but re- member We want news"

A listener in the O2t.c tells how he was present at law suIt n Las Vegas, m which suit q MT. L4bsdIe claimed damages of the Montezuma Cattle com pany. Said Mir. Tom Catron:
 "Gentlemsn, when l heard Mir. LRba- dies testimony l though how foolish snd ridiculous for you or any of us to re- maIn poor. Mr. Labadie has shown us how We may all became rich. NIT. Laba- die testified that his pumpkins were worth half a cent pound and that he raised twenty to thirty pounds tO the square yard. Now, gentlemen. let us do some figuring: There are 4,SiO square yards in an acre. At ten cents. worth of pumpkins E. square yard he would res lIze s4S4 an acre. MT. Labaiie testifies he has one hundred and sixty acres. How much would ths at land realize n year planted m pumpkins! Why lG0 times 4S4 dollars ST, ,4i0-a good yearly income. But he has expenses. Such wonderful pumpkin seed must cost con siderable money. but allow him S7.ii0 the odd money for expenses and we have left S7OOO year profit. But MT. Lsbadie has been m busi- ness tweDty-one years. What would have been his profit if engaged in the pumpkin busipess? Why twenty one times S70OOOIs SI,47O 600. A good profit certainly. And, gentlemen, as l look down through time l sec a glorious futlre for New Mexico. The cattle bus mess sh III become a thIng of the past. The sheep business shall be discarded. Mining shall be thrown aside and all untiring energies of ourselves and our children shall be given to pumpkins. Pumpkins seed vii! be willed away as s rich legacy. Tbe morning sun shall see its bounteous rays reflected back from a million pumpkins. The evening moon shall send its placid light down upon s polien field Of yellow. Gentlemen. Mir. Labadie must have gotten his pumpkin seed in California. You know that the pumpkin vines in California are sup posed to grow so fast that when R pump kius seed IS to be planted the sviftest horse is saddlcd. The rider jumps oD the horse and leans back with the seed m his ieti hand and good whip in hls right hand. All beng ready he drops tle seed into the proposed hole and with 0 quick stroke of the whip cuts the horse. Quick as lightniDg must be tha horse. or the vines that shoot out will overtake him Over hull and dale goes the race until the fence IS reached ani horse and rider can jump over and reach the other side m safety.
 So much for Mr. LabGdie's pumpkins. What of his cnious? 4 similar figuring will show that Mir. Lsbadie's onion beds would make D millionaire of him iu a httie over fifteen years,
 Ah. gentlemen, my eyes water and fears trickle down my cheeks when think of those onions. They never can be paid for. They Ere too rich, too cost ly. All tbe money in New Mexico can not pay NIT. Labadie for his onion patch and his pumpkin field. A congressional appropriat on will but be drop in the bucket to a man who. bu; for the un- timely tramping down of his pumpkins and onions, would have been a million Blfe.

The wine product O. our valley IS even at this early da, assuming proportion by no means insignificant. We have is from reliable authority that the quantity manufac ured at Mesa City alone during the pat season will exceed 10000 gal Ions. and ss the product meets with a ready sale at the price of one dollar per gallon. a nice little income is thus res lized by that settlement. There IS one trouble brewing at MesH, however. Too many people are engaged m the msnu- fac;ure Of vIne. and the Inexperience ot some is likely to lose the good reputa- t,ou for inc bevarage which the entire community now holds.

GENERAL MILES has appealed to the president to have ths record made sgaust him by the Secre tary Of War cor rected to correspond with the facts a- his orders will show. The Secretary or War has stated in his annual repor; that General Miles disobcyed hi- instructions iu accepting the surrender, and h.s dis position of, the hostile \ oacles. General Miles has stated in language Gs plaia as 1t is possible to express II, that he He- cepted the surrender Of the hostiles upon the distinct unlaIstan ling that their disposition wouli rest entirely with the president, uI u! which tune they would b pr0tec;sc in their lives by hIs troops, and rem wed out of the reach of the vengeance ,i the people ot Ariz0ua. Any conflicting orders that might have been issued were not re csiyei by General Miles latil he had &C., complished th.s pledge. and hIs Ideas were subsequently adopted as wise and proper. He courts ina lIry respeoilt z the charge of disobedience, aod stiii pos=ess .s the orders of his superior oih- cers to confirm hls stat sments. h the face of this appeal, the resident cannot honorably do otherwise than to order 6 court of inquiry and, IPon its md lues. base hls action n the matter. The fact that General Niles accom- p!i.hed successfully iask the pet oi war department made gn iznomlnlous failure in attempting to do; hhd fin. further fact that the government and inc people have acceptel the re- snl.s of his victory as good and valu
 able. constitute n sufficient jl tihcAtlon o, b,s act-. even though be may have strained the terms of well meahiug but ill-timel order. From the begin- ming he was expressly il 'ormed thai he would not be embarrassed with speclnc instructions in relation tp his operations agaiust the hostiles, bu. the destruction ar capture of the entire hand ot raidlng Indians was the sole object sought io be accomplished. To have been thSsrt- cd at the very moment O. victory by an intriguing mandate inspired by envy and jealousy, would have been lasting dis- grace upon that branch of the service through which it WAS perpetrated. Gen ergl Miles was little more prompt ID the jealous discharge of his duties than his secret enemies exp scted and they are making him the tars ct for their ma licious shgits to detract from the honor' he has SO brilliantly achieved. It is shameful piece of vandalism in whict the administration cannot well afford tC he .ome an sccomplice. bat would honeI itself by frownIng it down.
