That is all.

iAE people OF New Mexico must not
forget that under the Ross Doodle admin
istration, from 1856 to 1889, when this
territory was cursed with corrupt judges
and dishonest federal and territorial court
officials, the cost of running the courts
was $4,000 per year; the people must
not forget that, owing to wise and bene-
hclal legislation passed by a Republican
legislature over the veto OF that Doodle
governor, put into Office by Grover Cleve-
land, and owing to a just and honest adj
ministration 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, 900; this means that under
the Democratic administration the people
OF New Mexico were systematically and
constantly robbed by corrupt judges and
dishonest court officials.

rs to the land court, of course New
Mexico needs it; has needed it for forty
wears, and it's not complimentary to our
congressional neighbors in Colorado,
with whom We now do business and
would like to do more, that SO long time
has elapsed and nothing has been done
in this matter by congress. Again new
Mexico is not "plastered all over" with
these grants. We are somewhat particu-
lor about this, and the News will take
notice accordingly. There's whole lot Of
New Mexico, 100000 acres, and only
100000 of them are affected by the
grants.

THE Democratic bosses OF New Mexico
will make desperate effort for success i'll
the coming campaign. 1t is to be a
Doodle campaign on their side. The neat
little sum OF $4,000 is to be raised and
corruption OF voters will be the game.
The stealings INDUCED in during the three
and half years of the Ross Doodle adj
ministration in this territory are to be
utilized. The bosses recognize that the
coming is very important campaign and
will strain every nerve to attain victory.
In this latter they are right. 1t therefore
behooyes the Republicans to organize and
commence the good fight and that With
out loss Of time. There is hard work
ahead and a good deal Of it, Start
in, fellow Republicans, organize, get
together, adjust all matters and work for
the common good. Selfshness to the
rear this time and the common good to
tho front

JUDGE E. H. DYE, of White Oaks, is
understood to be candidate for the judge
ship OF the new 5th judicial district Of
this territory. There is no doubt that the
district and new associate judgeship will
be created, the bill has passed the house
and the appropriation bills contain pro-
yiso for the pay Of the new Judge.
Mr.. Dye is represented to the New
MEXICAN as being q good lawyer and an
honorable man. 1t is to be hoped that
the president will conform to the princi-
pie of home rule in the appointment

BOTH ANOTHER JUDGE AND THE LAND
COURT NEEDED,


Says the Denver News: owl hat New
Mexico needs more than anything else
is not an increase in her judges, but the
creation OF land court for the settlement
of the titles to the land grants which the
territory is pastered all over. Such a
court would relieve the territorial tribu-
nails to great extent and supersede the
necessity, if such really exists, Of in
creasing the number of judges" Tho
News ought to familiarize itself with the
facts before it speaks thusly of New Mex
leo. This territory is too closely aleid to
Denver in business matters to warrant
such utterances in one Of its leading
journals. In the first place this terri
terv's growth has been such in the past
two years that an additional judge is real.
ly an absolute necessity. The idea is to
cut in two Judge McFie's district. AS
this at present stands it stretches from
Texas to Arizona across southern New
Mexico. Six terms OF court must be held
during the year, at towns widely apart,
in some instances 800 miles of staging
being necessary to meet the courts en-
gagelnents: The district is larger than
the state Of Pennsylvania--and it ought
to be cut in two and fifth Judge pro-
yided

DURING the Democratic administration,
from 1885 to 1889, the expenses OF the
territorial prison amounted to $50, 900 per
annum, During the first year under a
Republican regime, from March 4, 1889,
to March A, 1890, the expenses, with the
same number Of prisoners. were $4,000
It 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.

MCKINLEY PRICES FAIR PRICES.

And so we are right in welcoming INC
Kinley prices" AS we have said before,
they are fair prices and represent fair
wages paid to American workmen. They
are constantly decreasing prices, and,
as lar as the consumer is concerned, they
ure identically the same prices if not
lower than those that would be exacted
by the importers and representatives OF
foreign producers, known as the great
"half bullion" which control all the
legislation of The country. Mckinley
prices is good cry for the coming fall
campaign, and the bigger figure they cut
in the ensuing election the larger ma
jorities are likely to be given for the party
which had the courage of its convictions
and the honesty to redeem the pledges
made in the presidential campaign OF
