AN IRRIGATION CONVENTION,

Between Powel's methods for render
ing the irrigation question one of indivd-
ual ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and the opposition of
the Farmers Alliance to anything akin to
government aid, there is now no posi-
biity that congress will do anything for
the arid lands region at this session. Not
even will it consent to the donation of the
public lands, in limited quantities, in aid
of the construction of irrigation enter
prises whereby the adjacent lands, owned
by the government, will be increased in
value hundred fold. This seems, to us
OF the west, very narrow policy, but the
fact is Powells scheming to tie large
amounts of government money up in such
manner as to give him control of what
ever the government might undertake in
this matter, has made the whole subject
of irrigation so odous in congress and
among the people of the east, where it
has never been understood, that it will
take years of work by western men to
bring matters around right. The effort
now is to undo what Democratic con-
gress did at Powel's suggestion two years
ago. This being done, fresh start will
have to be made, and before congress
again convenes there ought to be some
thorough discussion of the vests needs
| in this particular and some line of policy
agreed upon in order that the press and
people may 90 before the country united
IN their demands.
There is no doubt but the Farmers
alliance has determined to bend every
energy to prevent any sort of government
aid in behalf of irrigation enterprises; its
members know just enough about the
benefits of irrigation to feel that when
the lands of the ard west are brought
under cultivation they will stand no more
show than dumb boy at a corn-husk-
ing. They do not take into account that
lack of water very materially limits the
area Of farm lands in the arid belt. This
opposition is going to be difficult to over
come, and Powell, too, no doubt will
swing henceforth the influence of his
lobby against us, so that on the whole the
outlook is not the most encouraging.
There ought to be held this fall, say at
Denver, a convention OF western men to
formulate some plan for united action in
the premises. In the meantime private
capital must be sought to come in and
contiue good work of building canals and
reservoirs, helping the settler while at
the same time investing in one OF the
safest and most profitable undertakings.

THE CASE OF MANUEL APODACA.

On Friday last at the present term OF
the district court held in this city, Manuel
Apodaca was tried and convicted for lille
gally carrying arms on the 9Th of No
vember, 1888, and sentenced to pay fine
of $50 and costs.
The case looks simple on its face, but
this is not the case. 1t is one of vital i'm
portance.
Apodaca was one Of the numerous
deputy sheriffs, appointed in this and
other counties of New Mexico at the last
election, in fact, in every county where
there was Democratic sheriff, to
act as deputy sheriff on election day os-
tensibly to preserve the peace. He was
sent to the precinct Of Aqua Fria, one OF
the most peaceful of all the precincts in
this territory. His presence was not
needed at all, except for the purpose Of
intimidating voters. There is no doubt
that the numerous deputy sheriffs in this
county, who staggered around on cleo
ton day two years ago, most OF then
half drunk, with si1 shooters in theil
belts, and who conducted themselves il
brutal, unlawful, bulldozing and over
bearing manner, inundated good man.
voters, bought others and aided in rolling
up the large Democratic majority in thi
county.
The numerous deputy marshals wht
were appointed two years ago to eacf
polling place by the Democratic U. S
marshal, and the deputy sheriffs appoint
ed in all counties that had Democratic
sheriffs, conducted themselves in an I'm
lawful manner and bulldozed and intimi
dated the people at the election. Wher
ever and whenever possible they ought tt
be indicted and punished And punish

1t is about time that the Democratic
bosses of this territory and Democrat
officers specially were taught great.

administration that justice shall prevail

NEW MEXICO'S GREAT NEED is STATEHOOD.

The leading political question in New
Mexico is that OF statehood Last year
convention assembled in Santa Fe which
framed a constitution for the proposed
state. The Republicans make the issue
upon this constitution and will submit it
to the people for adoption.
Some of the Democrats profess to be
anxious for statehood, but the party is al
most unanimous in opposition to the
Santa Fe constitution. The Democrats
claim that they were not properly repre-
scented in the convention which framed
that constitution, and that the instru-
ment which is presented to the people
for adoption bears too distinct Republi-
can character.
New Mexico's great need is statehood.
1t has existed under territorial form OF
government for more than forty years.
Its progress has been slow, and as long
as a territorial government is main
tanned it will be slow. There will be
neither q great development nor rapid
growth in New Mexico until it becomes
state.
1t is, therefore, the duty of every resi-
dent of the territory who is faithful to it's
interests to favor the statehood move
ment. The obligation rests upon the
Democrats as much as it does
upon the Republicans. The Democrats
in opposing statehood under the
constitution framed at Santa Fe are acting
unwlsely; for even though that constitu-
ton be 10 some respects Objectionable to
them, it would be better for New Mexico
to enter the union under it than not to
enter the union at all.
The chief feature of this constitution
which will provoke discussion is the one
in relation to the public schools. Tie
provisions concerning public education
are very emphatic and strong in favor Of
the establishment and maintenance of 9
system of public schools modelled after the
best American type. But there is an
element in the population Of New Mexico
which is opposed to public schools of that
kind, and this element will be arrayed
against the constitution. Very probably
if the Democrats unite with those Repub-
licans who object to the constitution on
the ground Of its public school provisions,
they can muster sufficient strength to
prevent the constitution from being adopt.
ed.
This is what very likely will be done.
If this is the intention of the Democrats
they can not be too severely censured by
all people who have the American idea in

DURING the Democratic administration
from 1885 to 1889, the expenses of the
territorial prison amounted to 1000 per
annum, During the first year under a
Republican regime, from March a, 1889,
to March 4, 1890, the expenses, with the
same number of prisoners. were $29, 900.
1t is plain to any person who can read
and understand that the management
under the Democratic administration was
dishonest, and the management under a
Republican administration is honest.
That is all,

Up to 2 O'Clock this fine afternoon,
Delegate Antonio Joseph, who is to run
on an anti-land grant, anti-monopoly and
anti-law platform for reelection, has not
yet explained the modus operandi by
which he became the alleged possessor of
two extremely valuable and extensive
land grants in Rio Arriba and in Taos
counties nor has the chairman of the
Democratic central committee, Mr.. Gil
dersleeve. explained as yet to an anxious
people about the sale OF that very valu-
able Petaca grant in Rio Arrlba county,
of the sale of the Eaton grant in Santa
Fe county, and of the sale of very large
portion of the Socorro grant, twelve miles
of the land on each side OF the river in
the latter, we understand, along the river
'front.'. Gentlemen, the columns of the

Will Chairman Glldersleeve tell the
people how about the lands contained
within the Socorro grant, and even with

oligarchy that holds the poor people OF
this territory in feudal bondage? Let us

Briffaud, the French Consul at Dong
tricn, heard of this outrage, he applied
himself industriously to securing tho
release OF tho captives, but tho brig
ands, with whom intercourse was final
ly opened, demanded an exhorbitant
ransom nor would they accode to any
compromise. One day, therefore. the con-
sui, accompanied by the village priest
and attended by an escort of French
marines, repaired to tho mountains,
bearing the req uired ransom. Having
reached lone spot supposed to have
been about five miles from tho bandit
camp, this littlc company was halted
before bamboo post upon which was
hung an inscription saying that tho
troops must not go further without par
ley.
About this timo Lun-Kv himself ap-
peared in the distance and announced
that the consul and the priest should
proceed together, leaving the marines
behind. 1t was another IIobson's
choice, so tho troops remained and
tho consul and priest went for
ward with the beasts bearing u ransom
Reaching the assigned place. two miles
distant, the ransom was carefully in
spccted and counted. 1t consisted of
100 pieces Of silk, twelve watches and
$4,000 in coin. Lun-ky objected to
tho silk, because it was not, as he
complained, of tho best quality
But the consul, speaking through
the priest as interpreter, represented
that tho silk was tho very bost that
could lie obtained in Tonuuin, and
finally tho chicftain was persuaded
Then tho captivcs were delivered up,
the bandits, to tho number of 1000,
kneeling all the while in u circle, with
lcyelcd rifles, ready to fire at the first
signal. AS soon as the consul, tho
priest and the released men disappeared
down the hillside the bandits struck
camp and made Off with proper haste
Tho ransomed men say that Lun-Ky
is rcvcrenccd by his fellow bandits as
an inspired being, and that his author
ity as chicftain is absolute. Lun-Ky
