There are farmers So conscientious that
they will not grow barley for sale. fearing
tn share. even unknowiugly, in the guilt of
alcoholism Others will not have anything
to do with breeding fast horses, because of
their use for gambling purposes As To tn,

The Bonds of 1869.

There is considerable stir here in
State and fnarcial cir les at the ap.
pearance Of Russell Wise Of New
J orK before the committee on ways
and means, in behalf Of the petition
for recognition and payment Of the
debt issued under Act of March %.
1869. Coming al time when the
legislative committee is preparings
bill, in accordance with the Governor o
recommendation, to fund the Brown
consols into new 4 per cent. bond,
it produces much comment. Mr..
Wise, in his argument, maintained
that the bonds were a legal issue {;
that the agent, by Act Of the Legisla-
ture, was authorized to pledge the
funds for State purposes that the
State failed to protect these loaus
when due that they were sold in the
market and bought by innocent par
ties that the State paid five success
slvc coupons, aud the State received
large amount of money in its treasu-
ry from the proceeds. Mr.. Wise ear
Ees;ly besought the committee at the
present time to forever settle the CON
tentiou between the State and her ere
dilors, and prepare report which
shall include the proposition presen,
ted by him, viz To issue - ,000, 900
in new 4 per ceut bonds in lieu OF
principal and interest due. His point
that the State should not rest under
the imputation of having received a
large amount Of money without some
recognition Oh that basis seemed to
make favorable impression.-Coi-

The decrease in the cotton crop Of

Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1889-12-12

THE trustees Of the university of New
Mexico have concluded to advertise for
plans for building snch AS they at pres
emf are able to construct. The advertise
ments are to be published in Denver,
Kansas City and Santa Fe. Why in the
latter, 1T would be hard to TELL other than
that the cormorant published in that city
must have sop from every broth brewed
in the territory, regardless OF the question
of benefit to any but the CormOrant.-Al-
buquerque Blackmaier Democrat
Santa Fe has several competent and
reliable contractors, hence the advertise
ment in Santa Fe paper. We presume
cormorant means the New MEXICAN.
Considering the source, it is not so bad.
One can not well expect much else from
blaCkmailing, enyious and cowardly
sheet like the Albuquerque Democrat.
The regents Of the university of New Mex
leo look upon the New MEXICAN, how
ever, in a different light. They are gentle
men, successful business men and good
citizens. They can and do appreciate an
honest, fearless and outspoken paper like
the New MEXICAN and they actaccording-
ly. And that's what sticks in the craw of
the Blackmaler Democrat
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1889-12-12

IT is singular, indee how easily some
of the papers in New Mexico are led
astray. Some little time since some IT.
responsible scribber addressed letter to
the Albuquerque Citizen CHARGING that
Ada Humes, the female convict i'll the
penitentiary, was beng accorded special
favors. Immediately several OF the terri.
torial papers, having nothing better to do
bounced upon this rare bit of supposed
official scandal and mouthed it about with
rare gusto. Then the Las Vegas Optic
publishes letter from some lying and
cowardly scoundrel in the matter, accusing
the board CT managers of the penitentiary
of unseemly conduct, and for another day
or two the venOmous mOrsel was banded
about as if it were fact and as if in reality
some one was to blame.
The board Of pententiary commission
ers then published a few lines denying
the story-too absurd to take notice Of, it
was at first thought-and now this news
paper mares nest has hattened out COM
pletely. The penitentiary has at all times
been open to the public press for the in
vestigation OF such affairs; but it seems
never to have occurred to the writer's
of these malicious and lying art-
cles that they could have had
all the facts by simply making an
inquiry. The fact is, there is entirely
too much OF this sort of nonsense INDUCED
in by the New Mexico press. 1t is quite
too prone to dig dirt where it might be
breathing the pure air of decency and
helping forward the territory.
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1889-12-12

ABOUT one-thrd the laws passed by
New Mexico legislatures only cause ltiga-
ton and expense to the territory, and in
the end they are generally declared un-
constitutional, if carried up to the higher
courts. 1t appears that but very few of
them are effective. 1t is now discovered
that rs penalty can be attached to Mr..
