What They Say About Territorial Affairs.


One of our Readers" is disposed to
Ognize the services of L. &. Ross and j.
l. Galbright to the cause OF education.
Now, We have to say to one OF our
readers, and to all OF them, that we will
very heartily cooperate with all men OF
every shade of opinion in the cause OF
education. But men OF that stamp are
hot friends of education or anything else
except themselves and their own pockets.
Education is what they both very spe-
cally need. A little good common school
ing would do them both world of good.
The ex-governor spells shark 'schark,"
and Gallhright spells maliciously "ma-
Iishly," and both murder Webster, Wor-
rester and Lindley Murray in every issue
Of their so-caIled newspapers.
The monumental ignorance of both in
the comuIonest affairs is a disgrace to
the regions which sent them forth to prey
upon the long suffering people OF New
Mexico.
Give us rest. The great majority OF
the people OF New Mexico are working
Loyalty and heartily for the education OF
the masses, and under great disadvant-
ayes and with deficient means have al
ready built up public school system
which puts to shame that of some states.
At every turn and in every effort they
have been embarrassed and hampered by
the acts and fAsehoods Of just such sell
seeking, back number ignoramuses as
the two men under discussion. Again
We say--give us a rest.-Lincoln Leader.
SUGGESTS JUDGE BAIL.
We suggest the name Of Judge John
d. Ball. OF Silver City, for chairman of
the Republican territorial committee.
Judge Bail has good clear record, is
well posted on territorial politics and
knows where and how to place his guns
IN order to plant victory on the Republi-
can territorial banner this fall. The sue
cess of the Republican party this fall
will in great measure he due to the
management exercised by the head of the
territorial committee. Sabe Folsom
Idea.
NO MISTAKE MADE.
Surveyor General Hobart is proving TO
the people that no mistake WAS made
when lie WAS placed in office. He is
working night and day to secure settle
meIt OF the titles to the land grants in
tie territory, and his Suggestions are
common sense aud in the interest of the
p ople.-Albuquerque Citizen.
THE NEW MEXlCAN's STEADY FIRE.
We lave been watching the fight made
Ivy the NV MEXICAN on official cor'up-
ton i'll Santa Fe county for some time
past. Dav after day, week after week T.,
IKE a well-trained arillerist, it has kept
up steady fire ON the citadel of corrup.
ton, until, at last, the whole matter is
being laid bare and purified by investiga-
lion. The tax pay ers of Santa Fe county
owe debt to the New MEXICAN that
they should not be slow to pay .-Socorro
Chieitain.
GIVING SATISFACTION.
Z. s. Attorney K. A. Fiske has been
confirmed. Mr.. Fiske is giving complete
salts faction in the discharge of the duties
Of his office. He evidently believes that
it is iur the best interest of the govern
ment and for his repu alton AZ an officer
and Il lawyer, to maintain a nearer ratio
between convictions and indi, tnents than
his predecessor did.-San Marcial Re
porter.
THINKS WELL OF JUDGE WHITMAN.
The senate judiciary committee has re
Cided not to recommend the confirmation
IF Judge Whiteman. This is to be re-
gretted because everyone who knows
him to be a nan of integrity and honor
and his course on the bench, where hi
has been called upon 10 hear important
cases, has shown that he possesses no
only judicial ability but manhood AM
back bone to do his duty, and he has
never swerved from the line of Off ial duty
to curry favor with influential litlgants
The president will lie asked to withdraw
his name aud make another nomination
1t is to be hoped that the person nance
vii he resident of the territory. New
Mexico wants rs little carprt-bag rule as
possible. Marcial Reporter.
THE WEST NEEDS THEM.
The house having passed the bill fol
the admission OF Wyoming as state, tina,
measure will now 10 to the senate, where
it stands an excellent Chanre OF passing
In short. 1t is highly probable that Wyo
ming will be admitted into the union
within the next thirty DAYS. Idaho will
follow close upon the heels of Wyoming
and thus the lumber Of states will be
raised to fortyfonr. We believe that both
Wloming and Idaho will rapidly improve
after their admission into the union
They will attract large number of immi
grants, and capital will find within tllei,
| limits more inviting fields for investment
| than it has found under the ter itoria
governments. 1t is to be hoped that the
admission of New Mexico and Arizona
will rot be long delayed. They ought
both to be in the union. The territorial
governments should be continued nc
longer than absolutely necessary. The
people of the territories are entitled to the
privileges of seIf-government, which they
can not enjoy without state governments
The west needs the votes of the proposed
