THE excellent financial condition

THE excellent financial condition OF
this territory, as shown by the New Mex
ICAN, is attracting great attention and i:
helping our statehood project along. Says
the Denver Times:
The auditor ii New Mexico publishes q
report, making an excellent showing OF
the financial condition of that territory
The tax collections, making LIBERAL allow
ances Tor deinquences and commissions
will pay all expenses, special and general
iol the coming fiscal Year and leave a sur
plus OF $40, 900. The expenditures for the
university, agricnlt raj college and school
Of mines will he 800, 1000. During the
past year $4,000 Of pententiary bonds,
not due till 1895. have been paid.
This showing, for which many of the
states have occ aston to envy the territory,
makes strong argument for the admls-
sion of New Mexico She has long been
an applicant for the benefits and advan-
tages Of statehood, and her claims can not
be much longer ignored, Her growth i'll
population, wealth and enlightenment has
been marked during the past few years,
and would be greatly accelerated If she

The important industry OF silk manu-
ia ture in this country is threatened with
disaster by recent decision of the ST.
preme court, that silk hat ribbons with
any mixture OF cotton can be imported at
duty OF 20 per cent, while silk ribbons
pay 50 per cent. Great quantities OF rib
bons have already been cabled for by i'm
porters, and the country will be flooded
with ribbons with few threads of cotton
or worsted in them. Every patriotic
woman will wear silk only. 1t will BE-
proper for men to yet the cheaper kind
for their last summers straw hats. How
much hangs on q thread

SENATOR VOORHEES, surrounded by
southern senators made them blush and
smile when he claimed in his recent
speech on alleged Republican frauds in In
diana that "the Democratic party was the
only party which protected the ballot boxes
and allowed fair vote and true count
in every instance" If the whole colored
vote of the south could have been con,
centrated in one sable countenance, look
ing down from the senate gallery at tine
time of this utterance, what grin would
have been there, my countrvmen Z"

THE Denver Republican, always ready
to give New Mexico a fair chance, re-
marks:
In the condition of New Mexico's f.
nances there is an argument in favor OF
allowing the people of that territory to
erect state government. The statement
Of the territorial auditor in regard to the
AK levy in New Mexico for this year
shows that the revenue will be large
enough to meet ali the expenses of the
government and leave a balance in the
treasury for the redemption of bonds.
One of the most difficult lessons in "
ernment for Il people to learn isthat OF al
justing expenditures to the amount OF the
revenue. This lesson the people Of New
Mexiro seem to have learned in most
thorough way. Being able to manage
he financial affairs OF t territory SO
we'll, they may safely he intrusted With
the control of the finances of state.
