LOGAN H. ROOTS AND THE CABINET.

The Memphis Appeal, a representative
southern paper, Democratic in politics,
strongly favors Hon. Logan Fl. Roots, OF
Arkansas, for q position in Gen. Harrl-
sons cabinet. Col. Roots would make
an excellent secretary of the interior, and
would be acceptable to the people OF
both the south and the west. The Appeal
says:
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat presents
cabinet Christmas tree with some south
ern possibilities, but the only really south
ern prospective cabinet member placed III
this picture is Logan H. Roots, OF Little
Rock. He has always been pronounced
Republican, and was elected a delegate to
the Chicago convention by reclamation.
While we don't approve OF his polltics,
truth compels us to admit that ne IS a
broad gauge business man OF acknoWl-
edged integrity, who for a quarter OF q
century has been engaged in the promo
ton of the best interests of the south,
those of his own state especially. lie has
such large investments in the south that
he works in this direction with a will.
He has in this way earned the confidence
OF our people, and very properly and Justly
has been placed by them in the lead in
many important enterprises. He is now
president OF the Arkansas State Bureau OF
immigration, having been unanimously
chosen to that position by a convention OF
the best citizens of the state OF Arkansas,
four-fifths of the convention being Demo-
Gratis. 1t isto us hopeful indication that
Mr.. Roots is prominently mentioned for
the cabinet, as it is not probable that
there is another Republican anywhere IN
the south of equal ability, with more in
clination to give his voice for the best
interests of the south. lie is man OF eX-
perien in politics, but has never been an
extr m g., nor has he ever been identified
with the element in the Republican party
that has made itself odious for encourag-
ing the race difficulties and inviting the
pressure OF the Republican majorlties in
congress. Mr. Roots presence in the
cabinet would be reassuring sign to the
south, and would be accepted as an earn
est on the part of President-elect Harrison
that he really intended to be the president
of the whole Union, and not OF section
or party.

Are We to Have Another War;

Some political prophets aver that we shall.
Be that as 1t may, the battle waged by medical
science against disease will never cease until

ailments. One of the most potent weapons
which the armory of medicine furnishes is Hos

Model Way of Curing a Cold.

A. A. Averill writes from Salem, Essex
Co., Mass, Feb. II, 1886:
"About ten days ago took severe
cold, which settled in my chest and back
and caused me much suffering. | imme'
diately procured three Allcock's Porous
Plasters; two l applied to my chest and
one to by back. In few hours my pains
sensibly abated, and in three days was
entirely well. take great pleasure in
recommending Allcock's Plasters."

Hon. PEDRO PEREA kept his word
promptly. Before the election he assured
the coal miners of Bernalillo county that
ne should make it bis business to see, if
elected, to have the law authorizing the
employment Of territorial convicts in min
ing coal repealed. The legislature has
been in session but four days, and an act
has already been passed by both houses
repealingthe law, and only awaits the gov
ernors signature.

NEEDED LEGISLATION.

The laws of this territory require that a
man shall be property holder before he
is eligible to sit on the petit or grand jury
They should be amended in the incoming
legislature SO as to make it impossible
for man to hold a precinct or county Of
flee, until he becomes a freebooter. This
will put stop to men holding office and
handling the peoples money, who have
no interest in the country, who are here
to-day and gone tomorrow. We hope
our lawmakers will take action in the
matter. N. w. New Mexican.

COURT CLERKS FOR EACH COUNTY.

The legislature should either make the
clerks of the probate courts in the several
counties clerks of the district courts in
their respective counties or create the
office of clerk of the district court in each
county. Litigants ought not to be COM
PEELED to 60 into another county to hunt
for their court records or transact any
court business. New Mexico is the only
territory where this condition of affairs
exists. The Times believes in home rule
If this change is beyond the power Of the
legislature, congress should be called upon
to make it.-SOcorro Times.

The reports Of the several territorial

MAKE COUNTY ATTORNEYS.

The Office OF county attorney should be
established. The work of all the counties
in district is too much for one man, and
the result is that much is neglected.
County officers should have competent
counsel at all times, and this they can not
have when a district attorneys time is
divided up between three or four coun-
ties.-Socorro Times.

Il PROMINENT citizen OF Lincoln county
addresses the New MEXICAN as follows as
to needed legislation aud the New MEX.
IcAN's light for good and beneficial legis
lation.
10 THE coming legislature:
Stralghten out county lines.
Enact good school law.
Reduce the sheritts', clerks and district
attorney fees.
Make specific appropriations for all pur-
poses.
Enact fair and good election law.
Curtall the powers of the board OF coun-
ty commissioners.
Enact good pfn law.
Reduce The coui Senses.
From the New MEXICAN of the 9th
ult, and very good as far as you have
gone, but please continue and make the
assessor salaried Office and require him
to make up his own bills; in other words,
do his own work, instead of turning if
over to the county clerk, putting the coun-
ty to an extra expense of about 81 900 or
$l,2oo on his account as has been done
IN our county for the past few years.
Also, require tax payers to go to the COL
le;tor and pay their taxes, and reduce
his collectors fees accordingly, allowing
what is right as custodian of the funds
while passing through his hands.
1t is encouraging to mote your position.
accompanied by the dnergy you display
in advocating the cause Of economy. It
helps us with non-residents who are seek
ing investments, as we'll as with those
who have already dome so. Should our
county expenses increase in the next two
years as they have for the past two,
brought about largely by the excessive
fees allowed our Office holders, ii can but
result In great injury to the territory
through the increase Of taxation that
must follow So. please keep up the
fight it is right and y9u must win.

COUNTY TREASURERS,

Upon our present law the county treas
urer gets salary OF 5000 per annum, pay.
able in deprecated county warrants. In
this county he gives bond in the sum Of
$4,000, and the labor is not by any
means trifing. A salary so entirely in
adequate to the responsibility assumed, is
an invitation to speculate in county funds,
it involves the implied suggestion that
the officer is not expected to look to his
salary for compensation, but to the profit
to be indirectly derived from.the custody
of public moneys.
The treasurer should be paid salary
commensurate with his responsibilities
and his labor. The present law offers a
premium to dishonesty. Silver City Sem

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.

We cordially indorse the New MEXICAN
the Enterprise and other papers which
advise the coming legislature to make the
teaching of English in the public schools
of the territory compulsory. The children
OF Mexican parents are entitled to be
equipped for the contests of after life.
They are citizens OF the United States,
and in the very near future the dominative
character OF the English language will
force its way to prevalence throughout the
territory. The teaching ofthe Spanish in.
stead of the English is not mark Of
patriotism. The children are thoroughly
American in allegiance and desire, and it
is no more a mark OF good sense and per-
sistence than the example Of the old lady
who tried to sweep back the sea with a
broom. Silver City Sentinel.

AGAINST THE BIG FOUR.

The legislature of New Mexico will be
asked to pass law requiring all fresh
meat sold or used in this territory to be
inspected on the hoof in this territory
before it is slaughtered. BY such law
it is expected tn put stop to the ship
ping and selling of meat from animals
slaughtered in Kansas City, or any other
place. No one here knows what germs
OF disease may be carried in the nice
looking beef that is brought in Armour
boxes.-Springer Stockman.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

One Of the most important questions
that can come before the legislature is
that OF the public schools, and every eff
fort should be made to put the public
school system on thoroughly sound
basis. And in connection with this it
ought to be arranged that the English
language shall be taught in every one of
our public schools. - Mesila Valley
