THE PAUSTIN ORTIZ MURDER.

On yesterday the grand jury brought in
indictments, four in number and contain
ing several counts each, charging the fol-
lowing named persons with the murder

1t will be remembered that Ortiz dis
appeared on March the LIST last. and that
his body, full OF knife and pistol wounds,
was accidentally discovered on March the
2Sth OF this year.
A coroner's jury selected by Sheriff
Frank Chaves found no trace of the muir
derers and so rendered a verdict.
During the past few months the author
tiles have been busIy engaged in unrsvel-
ing the case and the result of their work is
found in the indictments as returned.
The New MEXICAN is reliably inform ed
that the indictments against all the per-
sons named were found by the grand jury
by unanimous vote.
Most of the defendants were arrested
yesterday and admitted by the court to
bail in the sum of $1,000 and 81, 800 each

indicted persons are entitled to a fair
full and honest trial this the New MExI-
CAN proposes they shall have, and this
newspaper will contribute toward that
end as much as it is in its power to
do.
However, it must also be remembered,
that foul and dastardly murder was
committed; that a human being was
cruelty put out of the way; that it seems
that widespread and very dangerous
conspiracy existed, and that still exists,
and that justice, right, and the good name
of this city, this county and of the terri
tory demand the punisL ment of the muir
derers of Ortiz, and that public safety and
public policy necessitate the full vindica-

The situation is very grave and an ex-

THE people of New Mexico must not
forget that under the Ross Doodle admin
istration, from 1885 to 1889, when this
territory was cursed with corrupt judges
and dishonest federal and territorial court
officials, the cost of running the courts
was 100000 per year; the people must
not forget that, owing to wise and bene
1clal legislation passed by Republican
legislature over the veto of that Doodle
governor, put into Office by Grover Cleve-
land, and owing to JUS, and honest adj
ministration of the courts, the entire ex-
pense of their administration for the first
;welve 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 $40, 1000; this means that under
the Democratic administration the people
of New Mexico were Systematically and
constantly robbed by corrupt Judges and
dishonest court officials.

The weHsA WnRaIyfar s,nre1f OUT UrTeaer t,
umph than that announced in the New
MEXICAN of yesterday respecting the long
and tedious arid lands dispute. Powell
and his vicious lobby were beaten, yet
there is no denying the fact that they
showed great strength all through the
contest and but for the aid of the people
of the arid lands, who sent in petitions
galore, the western congressman who led
in the fight would have had sorry time
OF it.
But such men as Teller, and Townsend,
of Colorado, Power, of Dakota, and San
ders, of Montana, were at the fore and
they fought for their principle in man
ner characteristic of the west. Nebraska,
Kansas, California and Washington posi-
lively flunked New Mexico being faith
erless child, a territory, wasn't there, of
course, whereas, as state New Mexico
would have gladly joined Colorado in the
good fight. But nevertheless the victory
was a great one and the New MEXICAN
is specially glad OF it because it was
cause in which this paper has long and
earnestly been battling.
AS result, Major Powell and his horde
have been relegated to the rear and the
western settler is correspondingly the
gamer. According to the agreement of
the house and senate conferees the law
of October 2, 1855, segregatng all arid
lands from entry or settlement must be
repealed. In its place congress will provide
that only reservoir sites or rights OF way
for canals or bitches, already located or
pre-empted to be located, shall be re-
served from settlement and entry. There
was quite dispute over the meaning of
thereafter to be located" but the house
conferrees have agreed to yield and this
phrase will be understood to mean that
the date of reservation of lands from en-
try shall be the time of the actual selec-
ton of the lands for reservoir purposes,
so that settlers can locate upon any sites
unless the interior department shall, prior
thereto, have staked the ground and
it from the rest OF the public
domain. All bona fide settlers, at present |
unable to obtain patents, will be pro-
tected and confirmed in their rights,
that is, all persons who have made entry
of lands since October 2, 1888, shall have
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1890-08-27

their patents, while others who may come
and locate lands within the arid region
shall also be free from the pestiferous in
reference OF Powell and his gang, but
they must either homestead or pre-empt
the same, the compromise providing that
800 acres is all that any person or corpora
ton can secure under the new order Of
things.
The timber culture and desert land
laws will no longer be applicable to des-
ert lands, which is a safeguard the people
will be thankful for, as it prevents mo-
nopolies from gaining control OF large
tracts. Powell's request for three quar-
tiers of q million dollars for "segregating'
additional reservoir sites is wiped out en-
tirely, and henceforth the wiley major
will conine his operations strictly to his
"thirty-year Typographical map" The
west will make it its business to see that
he doesn't again get grip on the arid
lands region. The Lord be thanked

In response to several inquiries touching
the subject from various sections of the
territory, it may be stated that alfalfa,
that wonderful product which has come
into such popularity throughot New Mex
leo, should be cut during the first period
OF good weather after the blossoms begin
to appear. II allowed to stand too long,
it's stalks becomes hard and woody, and
succeeding crops are likely to be dimin-
ished. If designed for hay, it must be
carefully cured and housed, fer otherwise
its leaves will drop off and only mass OF
bare stalks be left.

TIE New MEXICAN understands that
threats have been made against certain
members Of the grand jury in this matter
of the indictments in the Faustin Ortiz
murder it is understood, that the friends Of
the accused go around and cry partisan
grand jury and political persecution pub
lie officials have been menaced, and
given 10 understand, that it would be
dangerous; now the men indicted will
do very well to put stop to that sort OF
of business, as thereby they are only
hurting themselves.

Up in the new state of Idaho there is
very little consolation for the Democracy,
remarks an exchange: 1.-THE sentiment
ing so strong that large number Of
prominent men who have held up for the
Democratic standards in the territorial
days are openly declaring themselves
ready to work with the Republicans from
this time forward. They see that the De-
mocracy is and always has opposed to the
growth of the northwest, and declare
that all men with the interests of the new
state at heart should give the party Of
progress their unfiinching support"

PASS THE LAND COURT BILL,

Within the next two weeks the tariff,
sundry civil appropriation, and other
prominent measures over which con-
gress has been hard at work throughout
the summer, will probably have been
finally acted upon and then, we are as
sured, the New Mexico land court bill
will be called up and promptly passed.
That at least, is the present intention Of
our Republican friends in congress, but
they do not expect to carry through this
measure OF vital moment TO us without
something of struggle with the south
ern Democratic opponents OF the bill led
by Morgan and Reagan. And why are
these two worthless 80 persistently fight
ing the proposed land court bill?
Because q Republican president will
have the naming of the judicial officers to
carry its provisions into effect, say some.
This is the reason alleged by Senator
Reagan for his opposition, it has been
said, but as to Senator Morgan, another
and very different story comes from the
national capital. Morgan, it is alleged,
wants California to be brought within the
scope of this proposed land court, and for
the reason, it is claimed that wealthy
corporation out there, backed by friends
OF his owns land grant known, as the
McGarraghan tract, that it is hoped, to
have settled by this court. We
know nothing as to the merits OF the Nc
Garraghan claim, but if the allegation
as to Morgan's motives for opposing the
bill, are true it certainly shows the mar
rowness of that Democratic senator and
his followers. Morgan would doom the
people of New Mexico, worthy as they
are, to further jeopardy of their homes,
should congress see fit not to insert Cali
fornia in the bill, and Reagan would post

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.
1t is plain to any person who can read
and understand that the management
under the Democratic administration was
dishonest, and the management under a

of business, and only for that.

different instruments. The fourth,
resolution is of no use, because if
such law was made, the millers
it not satisfied, would refuse to
grind "grist" at all. The sixth
resolution is a good idea. The
seventh, of homestead exemption,
is Of little &c. cunt, because of the
universal use of chattel mortgages
TO defeat the purpose redemption
laws. The eighth would require an
act of congress. and there is nc
likelihood Of such a law for two
reasons, first. because there is but
little good public land remaining,
and second, the tendency is rather
to restrict, rather than enlarge the
scope Of the land laws.
