District bar, was nominated by
Attorney General Miller, as trial
Justice of the District of Colum-

THE New MEXICAN is for statehood first.
last and all the time. Statehood will be
an accomplished fact and that before the
presidential election in 1892, and then
there will be fun ahead and the New
MEXICAN will be found at the post OF duty
and standing by its friends. Let us have
statehood and the managing OF our own
affairs and settling our own fights without
having them settled in Washington for
US. We are able and willing and can do
it. This thing of having some body else
decide for US is rot and stuff.

the west. Early in the year strip OF
country in northeastern New Mexico,
fifty miles in width, was hit by blizzard
that roared through Kansas, when the
eastern newspapers solemnly announced
that all New Mexico was under six feet
Of snow. The blockade by snow Of one
railroad crossing the Sierra Madres in
California has now inspired the eastern
newsmen to state that one-half Of Cali

other half is submerged by floods. Those

There's an ms .itution back cast that
makes press dispatches to order and
sends them ont 10 Suide publications like
The Albuquerque BIarkmailer Democrat,
owned by JUDAS lscariot Albright, by
mail. There's never any news in them,
and they treat only OF anticipated events,
such as a turf congress in New York, or a
,hort-horn stock mems convention in New
Jersey, or pigeon shoot in Wisconsin, or
q dog show, wedding or the birthday
celebration Of some long dead patriot, the
dates Of which events are announced i'll

character Of the whole lot;

Now it is simply absolute rot to call this
live news. No press reporter who can
distinguish a telegraph office from butch

stuff as this out by wire, 1t was written
week ago in Chicago by only moder-
ately clever schemer and sent to the Al

These sort OF "press dispatches" are dear
at the price asked-which is 81 per week,
And yet that dastardly sheet has the in
pudence to boast of its Geographic press
report. 1t would be absolutely funny
were it not for the fact that few other
wise very nice people are completely vic
timiZed by the fraud.

A REALLY funny thing happened last
Tuesday at the meeting OF those high
mightinesses, the county commissioners
Of this county. These great, digniIied and
powerful potentates, forgetting that they
were living in a glass house with extreme
" thin walls, passed a resolution, calling
upon the district and county attorney, Mr..
r. L. Twitchell, to explain to them and
give them information why he had brought
certain tax suits and why he had failed to
bring certain others for the collection OF
taxes. The district attorney gets back at
that very honorable body in another col
umn of Yesterday s New MEXICAN, and fig
urativel y speaking, wipes the ground with
the very honorable board very successfully
and goodly. Now the question arises,
What is the matter with the board? Out
with it. As orr friend Lars Porsena, OF
Clusium, in the halcyon days Of ancient
Rome, used to say, by the great nine gods,
what are Cney driving Ut LES, "llat IHeht
and Doodle have these high and mighty
Caesars fed upon that they have grown so
great? Let them look back at their sins
of commission and omission during the
past year; let them contemplate the rec
ord OF what they have done and what they
have failed to do; let them consider how
they have striven to find loop holes in
the Jaw and how they have failed to carry
out the plain mandat S of the law, and
let them hide their heads and be silent
if not they can have all the publicity they
want, and probably good deal more than
they want. Enough for the present.

a Santa Fe Democrat, who has figured
as cOnspicuously in the affairs of the party
as any Democrat in New Mexico, iavors
statehood for the following reasons. at
would operate as repeal OF the alien
law which prohibits any corporation from
acquiring, owning or being interested in
an area OF land in excess Of 5000 acres,
1t is impossible for the owners of large
holders Of land to mortgage to any bank,
investment company or other corporation
for the improvement or utilization OF the
land, the building of irrigating canals,
or the development Of mines, or of any
other purpose. Congress-" he says,
has built Chinese wall around New
Mexico to shut out foreign capital. New
Mexico has suffered more IN this re-
spect than any other territory, as the con-
ditons are different here, much Ofthe land
being held in large bodies with good titles.
One way out of it is to send strong petl-
tons to congress to exempt New Mexico
from the operation of the alien act. This
is somewhat doubtful expedent, but as
the act applies only to the territor es and
District of Columbia, statehood would
solve the problem. The matter has been
discussed by lawyers and leading bank
ers, but has hardly been touched upon by
the press in the presentation of argu-
ments for and against statehood. Santa

PROGRESSIVE LINCOLN.


Lincoln county has more public school
buildings than any other county in the
territory. There are ten buildings in the
county ownedby the school communities
some Of them are very good buildings and
neatly furnished with modern school fur
nture and conveniences. None OF them
are very costly or beautiful editces, tut
they are all paid for, belong to the public,
and make good foundation for future
work. The Croakers who are singing dirt
at the territory will please make note OF
the above facts. Also OF the fact that our
county spent about $4,000 for its public
schools last year, and will spend more
than that amount in 1890. by the way,
why can't Lincoln county lead the terri
tory in the matter of raising the national
flag over its public school buildings every
day that the schools are in session? The
progressive schools in the older states are
adopting this plan with beneficial results.
AS an Object lesson for young America it
is unequaled. Lincoln Independent.

An EntorprIsing Young Man,

The Hertfordshlre (Canada) Standard says that Q matrimonially-inclin young farmer who livessin an isolated district with a colony of his own sex, wrote to a friend in New York to select a suitable girl and send her out to him, An attractive damsel was sent to him, and he was so pleased with her that he invited his friends to meet her the night before the wedding. One of the party was so struck with admiration that he offered $50 for his interest in the maiden, which he accepted, and another man led her to the altar the next day. The farmer at once wrote for another girl, and one was quickly dispatched. This time he was offered bonus of S75 besides his outlay, and another man took the prize. A third time he wrote and third time young maiden ar- rived, but, though besought with offers, he refused to part with her and was speedily married.

lN AN OLD ORCHARD.

Men think of me alway as deaf and voiceless. Having no memory for time or things, Unwatchful of the pagsing of the seasons Unmindful of the 1uttering of wings. And wist not that through all the vintcr
 weather As over me the snow its white net weaves,
 passes,
 My gaunt arms hunger for the coming leaves, And long once more to see the buds run riot Among my nchened branches bare and gray, To hear again the nesting birds go wooing Adown my borders all the livelong day. My leaves give welcome when the birds wing
 homeward
 From Southern winter into Northern spring, And in the late fall days the same leaves finger To see the last bird southward turn it's wing When through the vanished years have for
 gotten
 In early spring to set my ways ablow, To fling broad leaves adown the paths to
 shelter
 The lambs and children in the hot noon glowf When through the vanished years have for gotten,
 AS sharp frosts touch and seHr the garden ways,
 And summers ample vintages are shrunken, To bring my fruitage in the autumn daysf Then think not am alway deaf and voiceless, Having no LIemory for bud and song, For through my gnarled and barren branches The thoughts of nesting birds and blossom' throng. Lucy E. Tilley, in Harper's Weekly.
