Colorado, through their representative
bodies, have been potential in giving to
them the station in the union they desire,
from gratitude and interest they will be
induced to swell the volume of Colorado's s
trade by becoming consumers of the
many necessities and luxuries produced
within our borders. With lines of rail-
way stretching from this magnificent cap
ltal of the Centennial State" to many
sections of New Mexico, wherever they
can be reached by New Mexicos popula-
ton, they will be utilized Tor the inter
change of social amenities and the trans
portation of our productions. We will be-
come as members of a single family, and
while New Mexico will possess its own
state independence, it will look to Colo
RADIO as a fond and confiding young sister
looks to and respects strong, magnani-
nous and protecting brother. Give to the
people of New Mexico this evidence of
your friendship and good will, and the
result must be a bringing together of The
two peoples if close bonds of amity and
commerce.
Senator Montez heartily accorded with
the spirit of the petition to congress. He
thought that to give the citizens of that
territory the right to make laws for them
selves would be great good.
Senator Carpenter said that he was
very glad to see that some of the Demo-
cratic members had indorsed the Repub-
lican platform. He believed, with the
admission of New Mexico to the union,
and one or two other territories, the GUS
tom OF pensioning off broken down party
hacks rs appointees in the territories
would be stopped
Senator Wilson said he was glad of the
opportunity to bear public testimony to
his belief that New Mexico should be ad-
mitted. He believed that there was
grand future before that territory. He
hoped that the memorial would have
some weight with congress.
The committee of the whole rose and
the report was adopted.
The memorial regarding the admission
OF New Mexico to the union was passed.
All of the senators, twenty-three present,
voted for it,

To the Editor of the New Mexican.
There is something strange. We talk
so much of introducing new species of
grasses, etc, which are adapted to cult
vation and at the same time good for
feeding cattle, etc. Among the latest are
German millet and esparcette, now let me
say this: While looking over Fremont's
report Of the exploring expedition to Ore
gon and north California in the years
lS43-44 find the following narrative on
page 1l3:
July 9-* Camped on a small
stream near the road which leads from
st. Vrains fort to the Arkansas river.
July l0-* y During the morning
our route led over dark vegetable mould,
mixed with sand and gravel, the charac-
teristic plant being esparcette (ono brychs
sativa), a species of clover which is much
used in Germany for pasturage of stock
especially hogs. 1t is sown on
rocky, waste ground which would
otherwise be useless, and grows
very luxuriantly, requiring only a

years. Its abundance here greatly adds
to the pastoral value of this region. We
encamped on Bijou's fork.
July 11-* While travelling up
the valley of Bijou esparcette occurred uni
versally
There is really nothing new under the
sun; if there was no Denver or Boulder,
or Colorado in Fremont's time, there was
esparcette in it's native state in that region
which we now try to introduce from Ger
many at a good price. H. H.

LEXINGTON, Ky.,I Nov. 11.-COlOnel
William Cassius Goodloe died here yes
terday about one o'clock from the eff
fects of the wound received from
Colonel Swope's pistol in the terrible
encounter in the post-office here last
Friday afternoon, in which Swope was
cut to pieces and died. He died peace
fully and painlessly, surrounded by his
family and few close friends. He
joined the Episcopal Church before he
died and was baptized. The entire city
is in mourning, and the flag on the Gov
eminent building has been put at half
mast. The funeral will be held to-
morrow afternoon at two o'clock. ALI
members of the family were at the
dying mans bedside except Major
Green Clay Goodloe, his brother who
did not get here until last night.
=. Goodloe's statement of the difficulty
after he was told that he could not live
made Swope the aggressor, as he drew
his revolver and shot Goodloe just as
the latter got his knife open. GoOdloe
said that, feeling he had received a
death wonnd, he cut him until he fell.
Hundreds of kilograms of sympathy
have been received by the family.
