To Follow La Grippe.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. e9.-Advices
from Astrabad report that Persian
Khorassan is ravaged by an intestinal
disease of excessive fatality. Three
thousand cases are reported. In Meshed
there were 100 deaths daily. Owing to
the scarcity of doctors the nature of the
disease is unknown. AS Western Persia
was ravaged with cholera through the
autumn, and as thousands of people fled
to the eastward in the hope to escape
from the disease, it is regarded as posi-
BILE that they carried it with them and
that this may account for The trouble in
khorassan.

state Of New Mexico, and insist that ample
means shall be produced by taxation for
their support for 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 and 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

ticket or ballot of the Republican party

in this territory at the general election, to

cratic convention, recently held at Silver

READ THE CONSTITUTION.

The very fact that the constitution is
being openly and fully distributed by the
thousand all over this territory and that
before another week rolls around every
voter in New Mexico will have one in his
possession is the very best proof that the
friends OF statehood are not afraid to trust
to the intelligence and patriotism OF the
people of New Mexico. There is no dark
lantern business about this constitution.
Let every man who will, read it and then
vote accordingly. The provisions OF the
document are the most liberal, just, adj
vanced and for the fullest protection OF
the rights Of all the people, regardless of
all else, OF any document OF the kind ever
adopted in this country in any state. All
interests and all classes are fully protect.
ed by its provisions the rights OF the peo-
pie are securely guarded and the prero-
gatives of the executive, legislative and
judicial departments of the state govern
ment are fully declared and established.
The objections made by the opponents OF
the constitution are made for the most
puerile and low partisan and personal
reasons possible; they are based upon
falsehood and wickedness there is no
honesty in them and they are founded
upon nothing except craftsmanship, per
sonal venom and political dishonesty and
ambition. Let the people choose.

The people Of New Mexico must not
forget that under the Ross Doodle admin
istraton, from 1886 to 1889, when this
territory was cursed with corrupt judges
and dishonest fedora and territorial court
officials, the cost OF tunning the courts
was 1000 per year; the people must
not forget that, owing to wise and bene
nclal legislation passed by Republican
legislature over the veto of that Doodle
governor, put into Office by Grover Cleve'
land, and owing to a jus, and honest adj
ministraton of the courts, the entire ex-
pense OF their administration for the first
swelve months of the present Republican
regime, amounted to only 100000, in
which sum there is included an estimate
OF deficiency in the pay of jurors, etc.,
of about SIC, 1000; this means that under
the Democratic administration the people
of New Mexico were Systematically and
constantly robbed by corrupt Judges and
dishonest court officials.

TIE days of that gigantic swindle, the
Louisiana State lottery, seem to have
been numbered. The anti-lottery bill,
which has just become law, gives authority
to the postmaster general to make it ex-
ceedingly unpleasant for everybody hand
ling lottery tickets through the mails, adj
vertising the same or sending money for
lottery tickets, authorizing the confsca-
ton of the money and destruction of the
tickets. An effort may be made to throw
all such business in future to the express
companies, but that will scarcely prove
successful, for the reason should the par
ties be caught at it the U. S. district at
torneys could prosecute them for the
mere handling of such advertisements,
tickets, etc.

GOV. j, l.. R0UTT.

John L. Routt, who has just received
the Republican nomination for governor
Of Colorado, is one of the unique figures
in western political history. He is a
Kentuckian by birth, and an Illinoian by
adoption. In 1871 he was appointed sec
ond assistant postmaster general, aid in
1875 President Grant sent him out as gov
ernor of Colorado. lie looked over the
resources of the Rockies and remarked
something like this: "What's the matter
with statehood for Colorado? We should
he state" OF course there were lot OF
political soreheads Immediately on deck,
and they ridiculed the idea, but the
masses were with Gov. Routt. They
voted for admission and won, and honored
their leader by electing him governor OF
the state. After fourteen years Of phe-
nominal prosperity The masses of Colorado
are evidently still with Gov. Routt.
They ought to be.

THE question of lettering their condi-

government and reduction Of the enor-
nous and constantly growing debt of this

on Saturday last, every man OF them. If
they fail to do so, it can only become
worse and capital, investors and people
who desire to make homes, will be driven

munity are more interested than any
other class of citizens.

STATEHOOD SENTIMENTS.
A Very Good Reason, why You Shout
Iuto EvI statehood.

A Very Good Reason, why You Should
Ioto Evr statehood.
Every man who is interested in this
country ought to vote for statehood.
Especially is this true with the mining
element, for the repeal of the alien law
means general prosperity in every dis
trict. Ever since that law passed millions
of English money has passed through
New Mexico and gone into California or
Old Mexico. Personally we know of
many English deals which would have
been made only for that infamous law,
which closes our doors to foreign money
Silver City Enterprise.
The Course of the Gang Deserves the
Severest Condemnation.
AS was expected, the Democrats OF New
Mexico are, as a party, opposing the
adoption OF the proposed state constitu-
ton. The vote will be taken on the 9TH
of October, and, owing to a probable
combination between the Democrats and
certain element in the Republican
party, it is highly probable that the con-
stitution will be rejected. TITS rejection
will be death blow to the effort to Sc
cure the admission of New Mexico into
the union as state during this congress.
The proposed constitution contains
strong provisions in favor of the estab-
lshment of public schools entirely free
from sectarian or UNCONVENTIONAL control.
If the people of the east see that New
Mexico rejects constitution of this
kind, the belief will become fixed
in the east that New Mexico is not
qualified for statehood. The pre-
valence of this belief will prevent
congress from passing an enabling
act. The Democrats who are leading the
opposition to the constitution deserve,
therefore, the severest condemnation of
all true lovers of New Mexico. Some OF
them should be careful lest, by this
course, they dig their political graves for
all time to come.-Denver Republican.

IT Is NOT A PARTY QUESTION.

Unfortunately for the advancement and
progress of New Mexico the Democratic
bosses have made the adoption or rejec-
ton OF the constitution for the state OF
New Mexico q partisan matter. How
ever, all indications point to the fact, that
there are good many decent Democrats
who will not be bound by the action Of
these self-consttuted bosses and who
will vote for the constitution. Indeed
the matter is not partisan one at all,
but one that effects every citizen, every
tax payer and every property owner.
Any citizen OF New Mexico voting against
the adoption OF the constitution votes
against his own own best interests, his
own prosperity and his own advance
ment in financial way. That is all. OF
course there will be men, who are so
much under the control of the few bosses,
now running the Democratic machine,
that they will vote against the adoption
of the constitution, but it is to be hoped,
there will be not many such.

DURING the De mocratlc administration
from 1885 to 1889, the expenses OF the
territorial prison amounted to $52, 900 per
annum During the first year under a
Republican regime, from March 4, 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
Republican administration is honest.
That is all.

As TO whether it is best to taper off"
or simply stop short off when it comes
time to sober up, the American prison
congress has been gathering statistical
information, and it finds that the men
who taper off, very seldom give up
the liquor habit. 1t is hardly necessary
to say that this conclusion was reached
during the absence OF some OF the New
Mexico delegates to the prison congress.
