THE SANTA FE'S NEW PURCHASE,

The announcement from New York
that the A., I. & $. +. Railroad company
has purchased tie Colorado Midland road
is the most important western deal that
has TRANSFERRED since the absorption OF the
Fort Worth x Denver by the Union
Pacific company about year ago. Con.
sidered from any standpoint this last deal
is the most significant that has occurred
for years, and is OF especial moment to
the people Of Colorado and New Mexico.
There has always been a mystery at
tached to the Midland 1t was conceived
and built by Mr.. j j. Hagerman, who is
now president Of the Pecos Valley Rail
way company. When it was commenced
it appeared to be wholly impractcable
apparently there was no business in sight
for it, and nobody thought it
would ever be carried through. Besides
the field was pretty thoroughly covered
by the Denver Il Rio Grande, and the
idea of constructing standard gauge
line through and across those PERCEPTIONS
mountains presented engineering OBJ
stacles which very many competent men
believed they could never be overcome.
Where the money came from, whether
the Santa Fe, the Missouri Pacific, the
Rock Island or some other trunk line
was back OF it all, constituted another
mystery, and all this time, lille the
press and people were wondering and
talking OF it, Mr.. Hagerman and his as
sociates were quietly building the road.
Then there came change, Mr.. Hager-
man retiring, but the roads construction
went right along, and to-day it covers
PA miles of lines, exclusively in southern
and western Colorado, and operating
as an outlet for the richest mining camps
in the state. 1t is q magnificent prop
erty; it will ever stand as q monument
to the business genius of man who will
unquestionably accomplish quite as much
with the Pecos Valley railway in New
Mexico before he gets through with it,
The Santa Fe has been most fortunate
in securing this Colorado net work of
roads, and that it has done so is a sign to
all competitors, including the Denver &
Rio Grande, and the Union Pacific that
it is ready for any sort of fray they may
undertake. To the d. & X. c. in particular
it has given special notice that hence
forth not sentiment, but cold competition
Tor business will be the watchword. In
doubtedly the Santa Fes next move will
be to connect the Colorado Midland di-
rectly with its southwestern and gull
systems, and that can only be done
by building in New Mexico. Perhaps
that connection may come up from the
south through the Pecos valley and thence
up the Chama and into the northwest
via Durango.

STATEHOOD SENTIMENTS,
just About Correct.

The cattle man who votes for the pro
posed constitution on October 7 next
should understand that in doing so he
votes for the levy of a tax on every horse
steer, COW and calf he owns to make uE
the deficit OF the general tax provided TO,
the support of the government, for the
great land owners who made the consti.
tuition, limited the general tax to sum
below the needs of the state government,
in order to shield their own property from
its fair share of public and necessary
notwithstanding Headlight.
The writer of the above, the good ex-
Gov. Ross, has had new light on the
statehood question since he left his warm
quarters in the old palace at Santa Fe.
While he represented the majesty
of Grover Cleveland's government
he was all for statehood. Nothing
less than sovereign statehood would suit
him. He then saw, in his minds eye, a
vacant chair in the U. s. senate awaiting
him; he sees it now, but in the optic of q
pig instead of in his own mind. Then
his attitude toward cattlemen did not lead
him to warn them of dangers ahead. On
the other hand quite the reverse. The
good governor didn't like the cattlemen
well enough to give them hint of hard
ships to come in the shape of taxation,
but he did say, more than once, in effect,
OBJ the cattlemen Tax them out
Of the country" And we will bet 4 bits,
and leave it to himself, that if congress
were Democratic to-day Ross would be
willing to tax cattlemen, mining men,
sheep men and all other men to support a
Democratic state government in New
Mexico.-Springer Stockman.

state Of New Mexico, and insist that ample
means shall be produced by taxation for
their support for a period Of not less than
SIX months in the year, and We further
favor the comforting upon the voters OF
each school district the right to impose
additional taxes for such district for such
purposes, and we urge the election OF
members to the Legislature Who will favor
such measures.
We denOunce and condemn in the most
unqualified terms the slanderous charge
of the Democracy that the native people
of this territory are mentally ard morally
disqualified for self government; on which
ground that party bases its chief objection
to the constitution.
We favor the protection OF laborers and
employees and the adoption of proper laws
securing to them liens for their services
and also establishing suitable courts OF
arbitration for the settlement Of differ
ences between employees and employers.
Resolved, That we recommend and
adopt as designating device, to be print

cratic convention, recently held at Silver

SHERIFF CHAVEs' ACCOUNTS

As we predicted some weeks ago, the
Democratic bosses have nominated the
gang ticket and Francisco Chaves for
sheriff and collector.
We nnbI all a'sewt = Statement show
ing the condition Of the accounts of the
said sheriff and collector, which clearly
demonstrates that in his official capacity
he has collected about $25 900 in taxes
and licenses, which 30 far he has failed
to account for or to turn over to the proper
officials OF the territory and county as the
law and his oath of office require him to
do.
The figures in the statement published
herewith have been taken from the books
OF the collector and the county clerk and
from the collectors sworn statement as
submitted to the last grand jury. Mr..
Chaves' own figures have been taken and
credit has been given him for every
item claimed by him, but nevertheless, a
shortage of $25, 200 exists.
We have every desire to be fair and
impartial in this matter and if Mr.. Cha
yes or his friends can show any errors or
omissions in this statement, we shall be
glad to correct them.
This matter is one of great and serious
import to the tax payers and honest citi-
