"Hal You refuse me do you, Miss Ham,

The man who asked this question had
passed the first flush of youth. He was no
longer, properly speaking, young man.
Yet he was well preserved. He had not
reached the age at which it seemed expe
dent for him to part his hair just above his
ear and plaster thin layer thereof over the
top of his head. He had thrown aside the
walking stick of young manhood, but had
not assumed the cane of middle age.
1t is we'll to speak of these facts, for they
are necessary to the full understanding of
this painful history.
Moreover, they cost nothing extra.

COLORADO AND NEW MEXICO.

New Mexico is struggling for adm 8sion
as state. She is included in Mr. SMng.
er's omnibus bill just passed Ivy the GUse
of representatives. But serious bjprtions
have been raised to that measure, and it
may not pass the senate. In this matter
OF admission, Colorado owes New Mexico
a debt alike OF service and of gratitude,
and the present is good time in which to
pay it. Just about fourteen years ago :.
B. Elkins, then delegate in congress from
New Mexico, introduced bill for the adj
mission of that territory and made
speech in its support which attracted
much attention in congress and excited
favorable comment from all parts of the
land. In fact, as the expressive saying
is, he caught the ear of the country. Up
to that time there had been little hope OF
the immediate admission OF Colorado.
The defeat of the effort three years be-
fore and the strong feeling in the east
against the admission of new States, had
seemed to render her case hopeless. But
the effect of Mr. Elkin's speech had an
inspiring and encouraging effect upon the
Colorado people and their friends Mr.
Chaflee, then delegate from here, renewed
his efforts for the admission n the terri
tory He made an alliance with Mr.
Elkins, and together the two fought hard
and skillfully. The result, now historical,
was that Colorado was admitted and New
Mexico was left out, and still remains out.
In her present struggle Colorado, in re-
membrance OF the associatpRand service
of fourteen vars ago, should come to her
assistance. The Colorado senators and
representative in congress are tavorably
inclined to the admission OF the southern
territory. But would it not be graceful
thing for the Colorado general assembly
to adopt memorial to congress asking
that our effective ally in the past be made
a state denver Times.
One good turn deserves another, We
hope the Colorado legislature will adopt
the suggestions Of the Denver press.
Keep up the good work for US.

Whereas, The Republican state central

Whereas, The Republican newspapers

Whereas, Many of our comrades in the

Whereas, Knowing as we do, the abil-
ity, integrity and fitness OF Gen. Clayton
for such a position; therefore be it
Resolved, That We earnestly recommend
him to the president-elect for position
in his cabinet; and be it further
Resolved, That we request the cG-opera

till the cows come home. But they have
no right to abuse New Mexico and
her people. They are here right
amongst us, making not only their living,
but growing fat and waxing rich on the
very people whom they in their petition
denounce There is considerable of dog
n-the-manger disposition amongst GER
tain of the gentlemen in question. 1t is
well remembered what happened five
years ago. Such men, now gone from Al
buquerque for Albuquerque good, as
Etheridge and Wilson and others still
there, opposed, by letters and circulars to
bankers and business men and protests
to congress, the validity OF the legislation
making appropriations for the terrific
rial capitol and prison, and the
sale of the bonds issued in conformity
with that legislation. They OF course
harmed the territory and its credit by the
course they took, and the bonds were sold
at less than par when had these men
acted differently, they would have brought
more than par.
We can not see how, when and where
the course pursued by the Albuquerque
business men and bankers can possibly
benefit that town. The prosperity of
New Mexico is the prosperity Of every
town in it. Admission as a state will
surely be in the interest OF New
Mexico's prosperity and advancement.
So far, the bankers and business men
Of Albuquerque are the only classes who
have taken umbrage at the project OF
admission and are fighting it. Why the
business men and bankers OF Albuquer-
que should allow themselves to be uspi'
by few Mugwump and Democratic poll
ticians, who see nothing ahead for them
selves in the admission of New Mexico,
is really funny. But as they have elected
to be used as cats, paws, well and good.
How much they will gain hv this action
remains to be seen.

THE press has Endorsed our suggestion
that the Colorado legislature recommend
the admission OF New Mexico into the
union. This is right. If our legislature
were to adopt a memorial OF this sort in
behalf OF New Mexico it would, doubtless,
have great weight with congress. Colo
RADIO is an immediate neighbor to New
Mexico and it is but reasonable to pre-
sumo that the people of this state know
something about the inhabitants Of New
Mexico. The opposition to the admission
OF New Mexico will come chiefly from
Republican members in the senate. Those
senators do not clearly understand the
situation. Colorado is Republican state
and it has right to expect hearing
from Republican senators. BY all means
let the memorial be adopted. The people
of this state want New Mexico to be let
into the union, and common justice to the
inhabitants OF that territory calls for the
same thing--Denver Republican.
The people OF New Mexico are very
solicitous for admission as state. New
Mexico's interests are Colorado's inter.
ests. II Colorado help s us now, our peo'
pie will remember it kindly and gratefully

THE San Marcial Reporter comes to the
front and very justly and fairly remarks
as to the question Of public printing
The Reporter refuses to join the cry
against granting the territorial printing to
the New MEXICAN. That paper is the
Oldest in the territory and has done more
for it than any other. 1t is published at
tho capital, and all through four years
Democratic administration has had the
Republican banner nailed to the mast
head and has been pouring hot shot into
the enemy. Everything conceivable has
been done to down it and destroy its in
huence in this territory; the courts
have been invoked and the whole power
of the department of justice under the
present administration has been used for
this purpose. The New MEXICAN came
through this only to meet serious loss by
fire. Above all it has triumphed and is
to-day the able and fearless exponent OF
the principles of the party in power both
in the territory and nation. The terri.
toria capital is the place for strong party
paper and everything consistent should
be done to build it up. 1t is in position
tn secure wider circulation than if pub
lished elsewhere, and if ably and well
sustained will be of great service both 10
the territory and party. We have little
sympathy with the attempt to excite the
jealousy OF the press of the territory over
the judicial printing. This interests one
paper in each district. There are six
papers in this district, one of them would
secure the pap-not from the party, bu,
through the personal favor of the clerk.
The bill as passed by the legislature takes
it out of the power Of one man in each
district to use the patronage of the office
of clerk for his own personal benefit.
