THE GHANnE Is OPEN,

Now that Hon. Otto Mears, the promo
tor of the Rio Grande Southern, has re-
solved to invade New Mexico, his atten-
ton, and in fact the attention of all rail-
way investors, is called to the Rio Chama
and Rio Pecos routes for connecting the
northwest with direct line of railway
leading to the five deep water harbors in
course of construction on the gulf coast OF
Texas. The Rio Grande Southern is de-
signed to give southwestern Colorado con-
nection with Grand Junction, Salt Lake,
Ogden and the northwest, and will be
completed into Durango this fall. Mr..
Mears is unquestionably backed by those
who are interested in the D. & r. G. road.
The latter company has division between
Antonito and Durango which has long
been heavy load on its hands. 1t costs
fortune each year to open the snow
blockades that prevail along it. Now,
in the Chama valley, to the south of the
present line leading to Durango, is an
open all the year round route lead
ing from Espanola to a point
near Chama over which it would
be much cheaper to build than
to waste money another winter in vain
endeavor to keep the Cumbres mountain
division open. Already the D. & R. e..
company owns the righ-of-way along the
Rio Chama and has the road bed graded
for some forty miles above Espanola.
By abandoning the Cumbres mountain
division and building over tie more
southernly route referred to, the distance
would be very little further and the line
would be made passable the year round.
Another point in favor Of this when
taken in connection with the Rio Grande
Southern, is that eventually the road
could he extended south past Santa Fe
and on to the Pecos valleys, giving New
Mexico, Colorado and Utah an almost
direct connection with gulf tide water
only 700 miles distant. This can he o,ov
comnlieLol e.u. Inc proposition is

ticularly for the Denver 4 Rio Grande
system.

DOWN WITH LOTTERY GAMBLING

For years congress has been wrestling
with the lottery question, and now it
seems about to take action that will meet
the exigencies of the case pretty effect
ually. A committee Of the house has
agreed to report a measure which makes
the postal department master Of the stu
alton. Imprisonment not exceeding one
year and fine not above $1,000 may be
imposed upon parties sending letters
through the mails to any lottery. All news
papers carrying lottery advertisements
are to be excluded from the mails. The
postmaster general will also be authorized,
upon evidence of the existence of lot
terry or gift enterprise, to cause registered
letters directed to the company to be
stamped Fraudulent" and returned to
the senders, and he may also forfeit the
payment of money orders addressed to a
lottery or gift enterprise company.

DURING the Democratic administration

DURING the Democratic 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.
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.
That is all.

likely to control the action OF that wing
OF the party which is found in New Mex
leo. The Democrats may, there ore, rep
resent the combined opposition to the
public school system; and in doing this it
is possible that they will elect majority
to the legislature.
1t would be better for the Republicans
to be defeated on an issue OF this sort than
to obtain a victory at the price OF hostility
to the American public school system.
The Republican party has been the great
party of education. The spirit which has
made the public school system Of this
country great is the spirit which animates
the Republican party. 1t would be dis
honorable in the Republicans of New Mex
leo to depart from the path which the
party has pursued from the hour OF it's
birth.-Denver Republican.

DURING three and halt years OF the
Ross Doodle administration OF the terri
tSrial penitentiary there was received
from the labor of convcts and the feeding
of United States prisoners the sum Of
-oo Due ADMINISTRATION
-.v,n march 4 1889, to March 1890,
(there being about the same number Of
prisoners in the institution year per year,
from 1885 to 1s9O) there was received the
amount Of IS, 900, from the same source.
Facts are facts and these facts mean that
the PRESENT administration OF the terri
torial prison is honest and economical
and efficient. and that the Democratic
administration under ex-Gov. Ross was
dishonest, extrsvagant and inefficient.

IT LOOKS AS IF THE TIME HAD COME.

1T LOOKS AS IF THE TIME HAD COME.
The confederate fire eaters in South
Carolina are having rather hard time OF
it in this present campaign. Heretofore
they have just taken Office on the
strength of their confederate records. But
the government of the old South state has
been administered in such naughty,
imperious, overbearing, selfish and dis
honest manner by them that the COM
mon people, designated by the blue
bloods, "white trash have become tired
and are making the political welkin ring
with efforts and shouts for new deal.
And the fire eaters are sad, very sad for
out of Office, they are positively nobody
and can not make decent living. 1t is
about time that the people of the south
were throwing off the yoke OF the barons,
who have ruled them with rod of iron
during the past fifteen years. 1t looks as
if the time had come.

IT seems as if the Democracy OF Mora
county had hard fight on its hands.
There are two factions in that party in
that county at present. The "Ins' want
to spend and make as much money, pub

the Outs are trying to prevent them.
The fight will rebound to the benefit of

duties and POWERS of justices ofthe peace,

NEW MEXICO REPUBLICANS.
In their territorial convention the other
day the Republicans of New Mexico COM
mitted themselves emphatically to the
policy of enacting good public school
law. They have, very probably, by doing
this made the public school question the
chief issue of their political campaign.
In this they did right. Nothing would
more conduce to an improvement in the
general opinion Of the country in regard
to New Mexico than the enactment of a
liberal and enlightened school law by the
New Mexico legislature. Ilhteracy char
acterlzes so many Of the people of New
Mexico, that it is used as an argument
against the admission of the territory in
to the union as state. There is little
hope OF removing this disgrace except
through the establishment of good pub.
lie school system.
There ID a strong opposition in New
Mexico to public schools, at least to pub
lie schools that would be entirely nom
sectarian. The non-sectarian public
school is the American public school.
Mexico who are opposed to system of
this sort. They will resist any attempt
to enact a public school law like that of
Colorado, for instance.
In making the public school question
an issue the Republicans faced the oppo-,
sition Of this element. 1t is by no means
sure that upon this issue the Republican
ticket can be elected. There are enough
Republicans in the territory who are op-
posed to non-sectarian public schools
to give very material strength to the Dem
ocrats provided the Democrats took the
side OF the opposition on the school is
sue.
The Democrats are very likely to ar
ray themselves against the public
school system. They have never
been distinguished in any state for
their devotion to the cause of popu-
lar education. They have an innate feel
ing of hostility to public schools which is

In reply to an inquiry the GLOBE is
/ in receipt of the following communica-
ti0n:
tive are asked to say what we think
of the concert at Century hall Monday
evening, Dec. Is. In doing so we have
no desire to display captious criticism
or beSt0w unjust praise. Too much is
it the habit of newspapers to pay indis-
criminate compliments, or show their
utter ignorance in art matters by irrele-
vent comments OR fulsome ffattery.
The programme announced that the
concert was given under the auspices of
I the Musical club an organization sup
posed to be made up of local artists, or
mostly artists with sprinkfing of art
istic amateurs. The natural inference
would be that, at the opening Of mu-
sic hall in a building largely devoted to
mhsicand at the initial concert of must
cal club, we would be favored with truly
artistic programme, void of clap-trap
intended to catch popular favor. We
cannot make it seem otherwise to us
than that the main intent of the ''elub''
was to captiyate the popular caprice of
the popular public. Names of good
composers are on the programme, but
there was an air of counting popularity
+. from the beginning to the end. 1t
seems to US that musical club can af-
ford upon an occasion like this to be
more independent. sEt is rare for COM
munity to be so fortunate as to possess
public hall with pipe organ. The
