The commonly accepted theory, how
ever, is that the number will be placed at
$40, or one member to about every 1870 900
of population. There would be four states,
namely, Kentucky, South Carolina, Vir-
einis and Indiana, which would lose un-
der this arrangement, while the gains
would be as provided for in the pending
bill, except in the cases of Alabama and
Georgia. 1t is evident that the advant-
ages arising from this arrangement would
be with the Republicans. as against their

As USUAL the first cold snap OF winter
brings heart-rending tales of restitution
from the people who inhabit the plains
of western Kansas and Nebraska. If it is
true, as semi-oflicially reported, that the
settlers from eleven counties in western
Nebraska are almost destitute, then that
section will be fine field in which to
cultivate immigration literature next
spring, and the legislative assembly can
we'll afford to make note of it now.
Those are sturdy, earnest people full OF
pluck and energy, just such as New Mex
leo ought to have welcome for, and if
they, as we'll as others seeking houses in
the west, could be made to comprehend
the superiority OF New Mexico, from any
standpoint, over Kansas and Nebraska
they no doubt would come here in large
colonies. At any rate, it is well worth
irving,

NEW MEXICO TRADE AND PUEBLO.

"Owing to her central location and the
push and enterprise of her merchants
Pueblo enjoys large wholesale trade in
many kinds of goods in southern Colo
RADIO, Utah and New Mexico. This bust
ness is being vigorously pushed and every
month it increases in volume" says the
Pueblo Chieftain. And, pray. while this
is so, possibly, has ever Pueblo, its press
or its people had a friendly word for
New Mexico On the contrary, has it
not always spoken disdainfully OF this
territory, and belittled in the smallest
way possible every New Mexico interest ?
When the Chieftain shall have attempted
honestly to answer these interrogatorles,
and shall have shown its good will toward
New Mexico that common justice de-
mands, possibly it itself will be able to
secure some of the business down here
that now goes to Denver and Kansas City.
As it is, it simply amounts to narrow
gauge paper attempting to speak for a
town that would be broad-gauge in its
treatment of neighboring localitles--if it
had half chance.
