AS Whole It Cannot be TruthfuIIy Described
as Encouraging.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, March 2.-The past week
has witnessed no startling changes in
Wall street or outside OF it. The rail-
road earnings, that are constantly being
reported, speak for themselves, but it is
now being quite thoroughly understood
that the large volume of general business
that is reflected In the traffic returns and
the bank exchanges Is not particularly
profitable. The winter is now 80 nearly
over that the merchants can estimate
with approximate accuracy to what ex-
tent they have overestimated the
seasons demand for staple goods.
Trade reports agree that business
generally has been Disappointing, that
an unusually large proportion of goods
will have to be carried over, and that
extension OF mercantile obligations are
becoming quite common. OF course
hopefulness is noted in many important
lines, but it cannot supply the place Of
satisfactory profits. The iron
trade is giving symptoms of
something more than temporary
reaction and is beginning to respond to
stimulated production. The situation as
g whole cannot be truthfully described
as encouraging, nor is this surprising,
for under the existing financial condi-
lions the country cannot be expected to
expand its business operations, but sim
ply to live. No branch of the business of
the country requires so little comment
at the moment as that which is trans
acted in Wall street, since stagnation Is
rapidly becoming a chronic condition in
that locality. The factors that make or
unmake market for securities are, how
ever, operating considerably, and can
not be ignored. OF these mono
Is more important than the
workings of the financial system
of the country, and next TO 1t must
be placed the inequalities that are forced
upon railroads aud their patrons by GER
tain provisions of the interstate commerce
law. The remedy in each case seems to
be clear and it rests with the representa-
tives OF the people at Washington to
apply it, and that means, if anything,
hone deferred.

PARIS, TEX, March 2.-In electing g
pastor for the ensuing year Friday night
ct Reno, the colored Baptist brethren
had q lively time. The action of the
majority was unsatisfactory to the minor

fight was INDUCED in and several were
badly bruised up and one man badly cut.
People here have been greatly inter

the heavens this morning. There were
three distinct reflections of the sun and
around each was large circIe-each

WEEK IN CONGRESS.

parently has settled down to strict bust
ness and is making rapid progress in the
consideration and disposition of legisla-
ton The senate will duplicate this
week to great extent the programme Of
last week 1t is hoped a vote will be
reached on the Blair bill. In case
a vote is reached before the end
of the week, Mr.. Sherman will
move to have his bill declaring trusts to
be unlawful taken up for discussion He
will be autagouized by Mr. Frye, who,
under Instructions of the committee re-
porting the measure, will ask that the
Pacific railroad funding bill be made the
order of the day. This contest for posi-
ton will occur wheneveI the educational
bill is out Of the way-if not this week,
then later.
The outlook in the house is for week
devoid of interesting proceedings IN com-
parison with what has gone before. The
election contest of Featherstone vs.. Cate
will probably be pushed to conclusion
Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday are
set by special order for action on public
building bills. The pension apprOpria-
ton bill may come up about the middle
of the week.
PAN-AMERICAN CONFERENCE.
WASHINGTON, March 2 1.-THE delegates
to the international American conference
are beginning to talk about final adjourn
meDt, which will probably take place
about the lst of April. Nearly all of the
committees have made their reports, and
several of them have already been
adopted. The report of the committee
OH customs union, which considers recip-
rocity treaties, Is in the hands of the
printer. The three committees on postal
and cable communication on the Atlantic
and Caribbean sea have their
reports ready, and they are now
being translated. The reports OF
the commissioner on customs regulations
and the committee on port duties are
about ready to submit to the conference.
banking will finish their labors
in few days. The commit
tee on arbitration has agreed 70
recommend the adoption OF that method
for the settlement of international diff
ferences, but has not yet arrived at an
agreement as 20 the details of the plan
for its report. The committee on mon
etary convention will make two reports,
one of which will recommend the coinage
of a common silver dollar to be legal
tender in commercial transactions be-
tween the citizens OF the several nations.
The other report, prepared and presented
by Mr.. Coolidge, Of the United States
delegation, will recommend the issue of
certificates by the United States upon
any bullion that may be depos-
tied in the United States treasury
by citizens or authorities OF the
Central and South American States.
These reports are both in the hands OF
the printer, and will be sub

GEN MILES congressional friends are
putting in their best endeavors for the
bill to make Major Gen. Schotield a lieu
tenant general. The passage Of such a
measure would also serve to move Gen
Miles up peg and make him major gen.
eral, hence the interest felt by his friends
in the subject. Suitable action by both
the military committees is looked for at
an early day. Col. Grerson's friends also
are working for the bill, for should the
rank of lieutenant general be revived and
Gen. Miles steps up, Col. Grierson, who
is the senior colonel in the army, will
have an excellent chance to become a
brigadier general before he goes on the re-
tired list next summer.

news, the court expenses alone were
SlG4,0O or $4,000 more than the whole
expenses during the first year OF the new
Republican administration,
During the years 1887, 1883 and two
months III 1889 the court expenses
amounted to 1892, 249. Had the Perea bill
not been defeated by the corrupt and
scoundrely Vaccinations OF the Democrat
ic administration during the 9th Iegisa-
tive assembly, and had it become law (and
law it would have become had it not been
for the Democratic governor) the expense
for the courts during that time would have
amounted to about $4,000 at a high esti-
mate, and 100000 would have been saved
the people of this territory.
The Democracy of New Mexico must
stand by the record its officials have made
for 1t. The Republican party must stand
by the record the men put into office by
it make for it.
Is a party that puts men like Ross ana
corrupt judges and court officials into Of
flee worthy OF confidence? Here are the
facts for the record of the Democratic
party in New Mexico! Ponder over them.
Ii the party is better than these men,
why then did it keep them in office? By
their deeds We shall know them.

THE executive order for the abandon
ment OF Fort Sc den and its transfer to
the interior department will open small
but very choice section Fl the Rio Grande
valley to cultivation. The reserve covers
sixteen square miles, through which the
Rio Grande cuts diagonalIy and on either
side of the stream lies a very rich valley
from one to three miles in width. Its
elevation is little above 1000 feet and
the country abounds in picturesque beau
ties. The valley lands are very product
I've and are especially adapted to fruit
culture. Senator Teller's bill before con-
gress granting right Of way through the

AN association known Us the Cherokee
Strip Homesteaders, is making prelim-
nary arrangements for grand invasion
OF the strip on the 22d of next month,
that being the anniversary OF the opening
Of Oklahoma to settlement The associa-
TONS plan suggests that thousands of
people by banding themselves together
should on the day mentioned enter the
strip unmolested by the military. The cir
cular sets forth that the government is in
sympathy with the move, and that set
tiers in any great body will not be opposed
or disturbed by President Harrison. The
great rush and excitement which prevailed
in Oklahoma last year will no doubt
characterize the opening OF the strip.

The present congress will be asked to
increase the pay of the railway mail
clerks. The demand ought to be grant
ed, for it is a just one, and, while they
are at it, ought they not also to increase
the number? 1t is intended that postal
clerks assigned to routes from $50 to 200
miles shall receive 1900 per annum:
300 to $50 miles 81, 800; on trunk lines
where the mail is very heavy and the
routes are from 400 to 800 miles and four
clerks are required, 81 800, 81 400, 81 300
and 81 200 respectively.

ANOTHER IRRIGATION BILL.

Congress seems determined to do every.
thing with the arid land problem but the
right thing, remarks the San Francisco
Chronicle, and it would certainly appear
so. Then it proceeds to criticise an irrl'
CATION bill recently presented in the
house by Congressman Peters, of Kan
sas, saying "a bad feature of the bill is
that in dividing the west into districts
and irrigation sections state lines are IL
nored absolutely, and commission is
created having jurisdiction within several
states without consulting the state al-
thorities. This would certainly raise q
conflict between state and federal au'
thority and would defeat the objects Ol
the bill" This is precisel y the objection
We have heretofore noted as existing
against all the measures on this subject
now before congress, and we are pleased
to observe that the Chronicle also calls
attention, as did the NEw MEXICAN sew.
eral weeks ago, to the superior law which
California has, after twenty years of eff
fort, been able to put into execution.
In the Peters bill the right of prior APP
preparation is recognized, to the exclusion
Of the common law doctrine of riparian
ownership, but the amount of appropria-
ton is limited to the amount of water
actually needed upon the land owned,
Next to his castle" there is nothing so
zealously guarded by the arid region set
tier as his water rights, and any commits
sion, either state or national, that at
tempted to deprive him OF such rights
would provoke a conflict that would not
rest short of the supreme court of the
nation. But there is fair and Just
method OF action to be had, as the Cali
fornia law fully demonstrates. That law
provides what is practical y cooperative
system, and distributes the water within
an irrigation district upon strictly equi'
table basis. 1t really takes middle
course between the claims OF the prior ap
perpetrators on the one hand and the claims
OF the riparian proprietors on the other
adopting the rule of the greatest good tC
the greatest number.
1t is believed that this idea could be in
corpOrated into national irrigation law
that would fully meet the wants of the
people yet to come while at the same time
dealing fairly with those already on the
ground and in possession OF much OF the
water. But the trouble with congress il
that such a very small percentage OF its
members has any practical knowledge Of
this subject. For some cause or Other
the special senate committees report Oh
irrigation, which might enllghten them
somew hat, has not yet materlalized, anC
in the mean time Major Powell is cram
ming them full OF his ideas, which, in our
opinion, are not good, and can not be ac'
cepted by the people in whose behalf this
class OF legislation is demanded.

COMPARE THE RECORDS AGAIN.

The revenue law now in force in this
territory, and which is working exellently,
was first introduced in the council by
Hon. Pedro Perea, senator from Berna-
lilo county, during the sessions of the
9th legislative assembly, in February,
1887. 1t passed the council then and
there. Unfortunately for the best inter
ests of the people, the Republicans had
but slender majority in the lower body
Of the 9th legislative assembly. The
Democratic members of the house voted
% the then governor, E. 6. Ross, dictated.
Ross then entered into bargain with a
couple of corrupt Republican members,
and this unholy combination of Ross, the
Democratic members and the two cor
rupt Republican members defeated the
bill.
The 2sth legislative assembly consisted
Of 81 Republicans and 5 Democrats. Ross
power to do evil was gone, and the bill in
question became law.
The total expenses for the first year
from March 4, 1889, to March 4, 1890,
under the new revenue law amounted to
tl49. 43o. To this we will add deficiency,
ssy amounting to $4,000, for witness
fees, etc., in court matters. The entire
expenses can be safely put at 100000.
Now mark, during the year 1887, with E.
G. Ross a. governor and four Democratic
iudges and Ross tools q district attor.
