CITIZENS of New Mexico are just
Iy indignant at the minority report
of the Committee on Territories in
the House of Representatives, upon
the bill to admit that Territory as
a State. The minority report was
signed by FIVE members, all of whom
are Republicans, and charges,
among other iniquities, that the
people Of New Mexico have retain
ed all the vices and none Of the
virtues of their ancestors. That
the practice of the sexes living to-
gether out Of wedlock and raising
families is almost a universal Gus
tom. That carrying firearms is so
common that when the people re-
pair to the house of worship, they
go better prepared to resist the as
sasSin, than to worship their ma
ker The press, both religious and
secular, as well as the people in
mass meetings, denounce such false,
defamatory and injurious state
ments, which allwho know anything
of the state of society in that Terri
tory know to be utterly untrue.
The report shows how ignorant the
eastern people are of our social and
moral condition in the west, and
how prone to believe any thing said
in disparagement of the Territories.

tent opposition in the Senate, but
was passed, after much discussion,
by vote of 81 to IS. The meas

ArfZ0na'S Possibilities.

People passing through our Ter
ritory on the Southern Pacific Rail-
way have constantly before their
vision a dreary, barren desert, and
the impressions thus obtained as to
the desirability of locating in Ari-
iona are not easily removed. 1t
has never been questioned but these
lands would be suitable for the pro-
duction of fruits if water could be
obtained, and the Gazette is pleased
to be able to state that this SEEM
ingly difficult problem has at last
been solved.
Mr.. Arey, an energetic capitalist,
has one of the largest vineyards in
the world, on the line of the South
ern Pacific Railroad at Maricopa
station. The land extends along
the line of road from Maricopa sta
ton east for distance of one mile
on both sides of the road bed, and
contains about three thousand acres
of splendid land. Mr.. Arey's COM
pany have erected large steam
pumping works which will raise the
necessary water to irrigate this
princely tract. The we'll is some
40 feet deep and 14x20 feet in di-
mansions, and will supply an album
dance of water for all purposes. In
connection with the premises, a

THE editor of the Holbrook-
Flagstaff Standard in giving his
pedigree, meanders back as far as
the time of Lafayette, without a
murmur. Here is probably the
source of his military genius. Fol-
lowing along this line of descend
ants we find Boulanger and Dennis
Kcarney, from whom probably the
Standard gets its racking ideas Of
journalistic inspirations. In the
excitement of all this he tells that
Monte Christie was a necromancer.'
Is this pedigree one Of Monte's nee
romantic endeavors?
The HERALD has never slandered,
nor wished to SANDER any private
citizen, owner, supporter or reader
of the Standard. In its replies to
that papers asin1ne articles, the
HERALD has confined itself to the
Standard, and why has not that
paper been equally honorable" and
journalistic? Bring your strate-
gy, Colonel, which you have inner
tied from Lafayette, (?) with your
spiked" batteries, to bear on the
HERALD, if you have grievance, and
let the private citizens alone. They
do not interfere with you, neither
do they care if you are a second
cousin of Pocahontas or fourth
cousin to King Philip of the Mar
ragansetts.
But, "alas, poor Yorick p you are
like the priest of Aruspicy who sees
among his ejectments the image Of
his own autobiography and pedi-
gree in the shape of the eur

cannot even be choked. "Fare-thee-
well, if forever, fare-thee-well!

THE quarterly report of the Su-
perintendent made to the Board of
Prison Commissioners at Yuma, on
the first of April, shows that ten
prisoners were discharged from the
prison by expiration of terms-one
discharged on writ of habeas cor
pus and six pardoned during the
last quarter. There are one hun
dred and twenty-four male priso-
ners, and the number will probably
be increased soon after the adjourn
ment of the present term of court
in st. Johns.

of all denominations school houses

the statute book is replete with the
most stringent penal laws; justice
is administered by upright officers,
and the people generally are intelli-
gent, enterprising and law abiding.
In proportion to the population,
crime does not exist to a greater ex-
tent in New Mexico than in the
States represented in Congress by
the members who signed the mi
nority report. No State has on its
statute book a more rigid law
against carrying deadly weapons,
nor so far as we remember, is train
robbery punished with death in
any State or Territory except New
Mexico. The Santa Fe Presbytery
of the Presbyterian Church voiced
the sentiments of the people when
it declared, that if the author Of
such statements is still living, we
desire to call wildly before him,
the sad curse of Ananias, and also
express the hope that God Almighty
may have mercy on his soul"

the entire vineyard for the purpose
of protecting the grapes from the
numerous jack-rabbits which infest
that heretofore uncultivated region.
His tremendous undertaking, if
successful-and who can doubt its
ultimate success-will do more and
go further to advertise the resources
Of Arizona and dispel the wrong
impressions gained by travellers
passing over this route than any
like enterprise ever inaugurated in
Arizona. The fiat has gone forth !;
this land of misrepresentation and
unlimited wealth; this ancient
home of the Apache, where civil
cation found no home, nor pros
perity no sponsor, will now, under
the present happy condition of af-
fairs, go booming along the high
ways of success. This barren coun-
try, which for ages has remained
undisturbed, will be settled up rap
idly and will bloom with the fruits
of mans intelligent labor. The
old dreary past is like a dream, as
our young and vigorous Territory
goes marching along in the rapid
procession of development and
grandeur.-Ph9nix Gazette.

Honor, of which dilatory lawyers

not partial to procrastinqtion, and
in few emphatic words he declared
his intention to facilitate business,
and strike out dilatory pleas and
motions for continuances devoid of
merit. 1t is due to the Court, liti-

lawyers should be ready to proceed
when their cases are called, and the
admonition of the court should and

The Political Situation.

TAYLOR, April 8, 1888.
EDITOR HERALD: A movement is
now on foot, if [ am rightly in
formed, to organize the Republican
party in this county, and draw par
ty lines during the coming cam
paign.
Now, Mr.. Editor, let me state
first that [ am a Republican, and
believe strictly in every plank of its
platform, high tariff included, and
in fact everything else that is po
litically Objectionable to a Demo
crat, and let me next state, that /
don't believe in this party organi
cation, the idea is foolishness itself,
and is the transparent trick of lot
of torn down, disappointed and
mighty-nigh-busted Office seekers,
anxious to "git thar Eli" and see
that the county never does raise it.
self up from the miro of debt, and
that the public are compelled to
dive still deeper into their jeans,
when brought to settle their yearly
tax.
Another reason why I don't be-
lieve in Republican party organi-
zation in this county, is, because it
cannot be purely Republican, Meth
er would such an organization be
able to know its real strength, as
many Of it's allies would be but
temporary attaches, in which but
little confidence could be placed.
Let us look at its component parts,
and see if l am not right.
One of its constituent parts, will
be the Mexican element, and it
would be absurd to call them Re-
publicans, yet they are to form one
Of its most important factors. This
faction would be manipulated by
the above mentioned office seekers
in much the same fashion, whether
they blew Republicanism, Democ-
racy or MugwumpiSm.
There is also another element
that will join the ranks of this par
-ty organization, and they will be a
class of republicans who consider
it their duty to vote a Republican
ticket, whenever one can be found,
regardless what the consequences
might be. They, at the sound of
the party lash (whether it had a
cracker or not) would fall into line,
and never stop to exercise any
judgment in the matter. These,
with a few revengeful-minded dem
ocrats, will just about make up the
organization, and the hybrid will
be called Il Republican organiza-
ton.
Now, [ consider that a rather bad
slam at true Republicanism. [ did
not think it would ever hatch out
that kind Of a deformity. A chance
is now open for some dime museum
man, who wants a real freak, to
avail himself of a small fortune,
and heap of fame.
No Taxpayer in this county, who
is not after an Office, and has the
future welfare of the county in
view, will look on this organization
with favor, be he Republican or
Democrat. The instigators are
making their patriotic (?) blow and
swinging their crackerles8 whip, tor
purely selfish motives. and not for
the good Of the general public.
-Four years ago, the affairs of the
county were in the hands Of the
most INSCRIPTIONS men that any
county was ever cursed with; the
majority of the county offices were
held by chronic oflice-seekers, who
