New YoRK, Dec. 2. 2.-Resolutions were
unanimously adopted at a nass meeting
held in Cooper Union tonight to protest
against the execution Of Sophie Guusberg,
a young Russian girl, who is now under
sentence Of death In st. Petersburg on sus-.
picion Of being nihilist. The offense with
which she Is charged was entirely political,
aid involved neither an actual nor at
tempted crime of such nature as to
merit capital punishment. The resolutions
declare that the infliction OF capital punish
ment upon a young woman of high aspira-
tions for an otfense which involved only the
generous, though perhaps misg lided enthu-
siasm Of extreme youth. is shocking 10 the
moral sense of humanity and calculated to
diminish the cordiality Of the sympathy
which the American people have hitherto
entertained toward Russia. The resolutions
entreat the Russian government TO abrogate
or modify this sentence in such a manner
as may be just.

STATEHOOD FOB NEW MEXICO,

Senator Wolcott's bill for the admission
of New Mexico into the union will be
strongly and ably supported, not only by
our junior senator, but by many other
senators from the west.
The people of New Mexico are ready
for statehood, ard the grounds upon
which the terri DRY bases it's claim for ad.
mission are good ones.
A steady tide OF immigration has poured
into that sunny territory for the past five
wears, and it now has its share OF wealth
and intelligence, and in these particulars
compares favorabiy with other candidates
for statehood.
The progress made by New Mexico in
the past five years is simply wonderful,
and statehood will materially assist that
section III making greater and more rapid
strides forward. There are enough men
In both houses of congress who are familiar
with our southern neghbor, and there is
no danger but what her claims will be
ably presented. -Denver Daily Times.
By all means New Mexico's wishes
should be gratifed, and she should be adj
mitted into the sisterhood of states.
Every word in the above from the Denver
Times is true. The benefits to be derived
from statehood are becoming well under
stood and the people of New Mexico, a
vast majority OF them at any rate, want
to enjoy them. Posterity does very little
for us and can take care OF itself. Let US

grand jury to section 1852, Compiled Laws
Of New Mexico, which reads as follows
IF any person having i'll his possess

ever, any part of said money, or shall
loan, with or without interest, any part Of
the money intrusted to hi, care as alore-
said, or WiilulIy neglect or refuse to pay

he shal not be able to meet the demands
OF any person lawfully demanding the
same, whether such demand be made be-
fore or after the expiration of his office,
he shall be deemed and adjudged to he
guilty OF all embeZZement"
Now the question is, has this statute
all county funds been paid over to the
county and territorial treasurers as the
law directs? Has the county treasurer
paid public funds out as the law says?
Some information upon this section
will be very welcome to the tax payers
and citizens of Santa Fe county.

Is 1T FAIR7

It doesn't look very bright at Washing
ion for the Fort Selden-Mesilla valley il
rigation canal. The New MEXlCANs orig.
mai estimate OF Major Arson Mills eX-
pert testimony, judging from the press
dispatches, was not far wrong. Not
outstanding the testimony taken on the
ground was overwhelmingly in favor OF
the new canal. and the further fact that
under the law, the prior water rights Of
the old bitches, further down the valley
are fully and completely protected, Major
Mills has gone before the secretary of
war with his one idea OF storage reser-
vOlrs, and, if the matter is correctly re-
ported, attempts to make showing detrl-
mental to the new project. Doubtless
this grows out OF the TACT that Major
Mills does not love the projectors OF this
canal ENTERPRISE less than he does
the old ditch owners who oppose it,
but because he loves FL Paso and
LltS oU-tdiltu lultTudllOldl udul
more. Under the circumstances and
viewing things in the light in which they
are at present reported from Washington,
it does not seem fair that Major Mills
should have been called as an expert
witness in this controversy. The New
MEXICAN says this with the kindliest
disposition toward Major Mills, but at the
same time feeling it to be shame and Il
great wrong that the petty spite which
originated this opposition should be able,
10y this unfair means, to make such a
showing OF plausibiIty before the secre.
tary OF war as to endanger the chances
for expanding Il quarter OF a million dol
lars i'll New Mexico in the reclamation OF
lands now practically without value.
