IMPROVING,

Tie prospect for the adoption OF tie
constitution is growing better eva~y day.
1t can not he denied that at the time Of
the convention, and for a good While
atterward, there was a very large ele-
ment among our people which regarded
the movement rs premature, and
the present in our territorial condition.
But the more the matter is discussed,
and the more the light OF reason and
Argument is turned Oh, the weaker be-
comes the opposition to the movement,
and the better the chances of success.
The present attitude of the Democratic
leaders serve to prove this fact. They
no longer avoW themselves opposed to
the cause Of statehood-indeed they pro-
Tess to be in favor of it-and claim that
all they want now is to defeat the con-
stituton-tnat is, they don't want to kill
the cause Of statPhcod--they only want to
cut its head off. This is position so
ridiculous that it doesn't deceive anybody {;
there is no one 50 dull Of sight that he
can't see through u cause so thin as that,
and hence instead of injurng the cause
OF statehood, the present attitude of the
woud-be Democratic leaders is helping it.,
and those gentlemen who have been
around among The people of the territory
all state that the cause is gaming strength

Will the people of New Mexico permit

A COUPLE Of nine-by-nine would-be
statesmen and members of the gang,
fighting the best interests Of New Mex
leo, namely, one +. G.. Ross, better
known as the Doodle governor, and one
G. D. Bantz, last week, travelled through
Grant county, making speeches against
the adoption Of the constitution and
against statehood They failed to adj
vance a single honest argument or valid
objection against either statehood or the
constitution; all they did was to abuse
and SANDER prominent Republicans and
the people OF New Mexico If that sort
OF business, on the part of such creatures
as the ones named, can make votes
against statehood and against the adop-
ton of the constitution, verify, New
Mexico is not fit for statehood and con-
gress had best take hand at governing
this territory.
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1890-10-03
THE NATURAL CONSEQUENCE,

The cowardiy, dirty and dishonest fight
now being made against the constitution
and against statehood for New Mexico, by
the Democratic executive committee, its
hangers-on and papers bought Up by it,,
is bearing its legitimate fruit. The gang
in question hes taken occasion to abuse
and SANDER the people of New Mexico at
every possible chance and has called them
thieves, forgers, lund-grabbers and the
like, and asserted that they. the people,
and statehood the speakers pnt into the
neIu Dy the gang III question have used
no other argument except personal abuse
and Islander about prominent Republicans
and citizens who are in favor of statehood
the papers bought up by the gang have
done nothing else except to indulge in
personal, scurrilous and lying abuse of
prominent Republicans, of the Republi.
can party, OF the native people of New
Mexico aud of the territory as whole.
This policy is bearing fruit; the action
OF congress has been aroused and bills
have been introduced that look to the
governing OF this territory by the United
Stetes directly. and in which government
the people OF New Mexico will have
mighty little to say. Our information is
that these bills, in their essential forms,
will become law.
1t is either going to be self-governmeht
or government by the United States.
The people of New Mexico may be we'll
satisfied, and they will he satisfied before
long, that if this progressive, liberal, hon
est and fair constitution, now submitted,
is defeated and thereby also statehood,
that New Mexico will have no chance for
self'government for many years to come.
This is the natural consequence Of the
cowardly and wicked course pursued by
the gang, now controlling the Democratic
party machinery, its own wicked schemes.

THE administration is Republican the
senate is Republican, the house of rep
resentatives of the SD congress will be
Republican; the people of New Mexico
will want many thing in the shape Of
legislation from the SD congress and the
administration it stands to reason, and
there is no use Disgusting the fact, that
an able, energetic, shrewd and good
business man, Republican in politics,
will have more influence and will be able
to do New Mexico more good, than q
Democrat possibly could, in the very
nature of things, accomplish as dele
gato. hence, a vote tor Joseph means a
vote thrown away and against New Mex
leo; vote for Otero is a vote well used
and for New Mexico.

A GLOOMY winter is coming on for those
deluded farmers up in North Dakota who
Lave undertaken to do business without
the irrigation ditch. For some time past
sad stories have been coming from that
frigid region relative to the destitution
among settlers, but the latest and sorriest
comes in the shape of dispatch from
Glendale, N. D. Crops are failure
owing to the drought and hot winds
There is great deal Of restitution among
the settlers. Thousands are leaving for
other states and thousands who remain
will have to be aided in procuring the
necessaries of life. Western Kansas and
Nebraska, and also eastern Colorado,
where the "'ain belt" theory has been
advocated by land boomers, are in a SINH
lar plight. The moral is plain; farmers
in the arid country must build irrigating
bitches before they build homes.

THEY ARE GETTING SCARED.

The Doodle gang and the Democratic
executive committee are discovering
their mistakes and are now en-
dnavoring to undo some OF the
injury they have done. They now
profess themselves in favor of statehood
but against the constitution but in this,
as in all else they have undertaken, they
are false. The self same crowd opposed
this constitution from the very beginning
and before parts Of it were even
framed, and denonn Ell the seventy odd
leading citizens, representing every class
of the people and all tax payers and
property owners in the constitutional con
vention, as dishonest and lsnd-grab-
bing scalawag5. Now they say: "Oh,
yes, we favor statehood, but not under
this constitution, it is bad it is one sided
the men who framed it are dishonest and
framed it for their own purposes" The
gang advances no argument and not 8
single thing, except personal abuse and
SANDER why the constitution and there.
by statehood for New Mexico should be
defeated. A few more days will tell il
their tactics affected the people of New
Mexico against the constitution, against
statehood and against progress for and
prosperity of New Mexico. If so, good
bye stat ehood

AS WAS expected, the gang in charge OF
the Democratic party machinery, has
carried out it's bargain with the White
Caps of San Miguel county, and the
Democratic county convention of that
county has made no nominations for
county officers, but Democrats there are
called upon, commanded, and urged to
support the White Cap ticket. The de-
cent and honest Democrats of that coun.
ty however, will not stand the racket and
the Democratic executive committee VII
find out its mistake on election day.

committee, that nothing much in favor Of

DURING the Democratic administration
from 1885 to 1889, the expenses of the
territorial prison amounted to $52 900 pei
annum. During the first year under 6
Republican regime. from March 4, 1889
to March 4, 1890, the expenses, with the
same number of prisoners. were 500 900.
1t is plain to any person who can read
and understand that the management
under the Democratic administration was
dishonest, and the management under q
Republican administration is honest.
That is all.
