FRIDAY, SEPT. s.

In tho Senate tho bills recently passed by
the House relating 10 labor matters were re-
ported TO the Senate by Chairman Blair of the
Committee on Education and Labor lie stated
that the committee deemed il best at this late
day to return the bills TO the Senate, some
members Tcserving the right 10 oppose them.
The bills provide Tor the hearing Of claims OF
laborers aud others for extra com cnsation
under the eght-hour law by tho Court OF
Claims, making eight hours n days work for
Government employees, aud prohibiting the use
Of convict labor or products Of convict labor,
in Government contracts.
The tariff bill was then up taken and con
sumed the days session, the adjournment tax
ing place at p. IN.
Immediately after tho reading of the Jour
nal tho Clayton Breckenridge contested cleo
ton case WAS taken up by tho House, and Mr..
| breckenridge (Ark.) was accorded the floor TO
| argue ia his own behalf He charged the
Chairman of the Committee ON Elections fMr.
| RoWelI, Ill with improperly In preudicinV
| the case. That gentleman, ia discussing an
other election case, had referred TO tho case
! from the Second Arkansas District aud had
! declared that IN that district five political
murders had occurred. He called upon the
! gentleman To name the murdered men
| Mr.. Rowell said that They were E0Djamin,
| Smith, Bentley, and Clayton, while ali attempt
! had been made 10 assassnaie VAIL
Mr.. Breck inIidge denied the correctness OF
| this statement and called attention 10 the fact
| that the gentleman himself cOncurred in a re-
port which said that there WAS "a suspicion only
| Of these things being true. He denied that the
! murders we're political murders. His distin.
! gui5hed aud lanented opponent had been
! foully and UNANIMOUSLY murdered but no one
| had produced any evidence that Il was in any
sense the RESULT of public nntipathy. or had
come from collective or organized effort. The
! State of Arkansas had done 10 times AS much
| in money aud efforts il had ever done before
20 detect aud punish the guilty. The crime was
a stain upon the State aud an injury TO the
! State, and long IL was left IN oblivion il
was susceptible of being used by nnserupuloui
men for political purposes. Bat men who
| charged either OH tho floor of the House or In
the press that the people Of Arkansas, or any
! group of people representing that State had
| ever shown sympathy with this infamous
| crime or that he tMr. Breckinridge) had any
knowledge of IL in the remotest degree, ut
tered that which was c0wardly and mean and
which they knew TO be false.

so far nothing has been done with it.
Congress always has been inclined to in
difference to the needs and interests Of
the territories. The passage of the land
court bill would be of immense benefit to
New Mexico.
The long-unsettled land claims have
greatly retarded the settlement and
growth of this territory. Much Of its
arabic land is covered by old Spanish
grants. These have operated to almost
hopelessly confuse and mix titles. 1t
is certainly time that something should
be done to straighten them out. 1t
would he better that some of them should
be settled wrong than that they should
all remain unsettled for an indefinite
time.
1t was a fitting thing for Colorado SEN
ator to introduce a measure to bring about
the end so desired by the New Mexico
people. And it would be eminently APP
proprate for the two senators from this
state to push the measure to passage If
possible. The ancient territory may soon
change her condition and have senators
of her own to look after her interests

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
1cial legislation passed by Republican
legislature over the veto Of that Doodle
governor, put into Office by Grover Cleve-
land, and owing to just and honest adj
ministraton of the courts, the entire ex-
pense of their administration for the first
swelve 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 $40 900; this means that under
the Democratic administration the people
OF New Mexico were Systematically and
constantly robbed by corrupt Judges and
dishonest court officials.

LET THE SUPREMACY OF THE LAW BE
MAINTAINED.

The supremacy of the law above the
lawlessness and violations of law by pub
lie officials. Let the law be carried out.
The convictions had during the past week
in the district court for unlawfully carry
ing arms and assault, one against man
who was not an officer and one against a
man who is an officer, will have salutary
effect. Ruffianism and brutality as prac-
ticed in this county by some of the otii-
Gals, sworn to preserve the peace and to
protect the lives and property OF citizens,
must cease. The good and law-abidng
citizens are we'll satisfied with the course
of District Attorney Twitchell, and of the
grand jury, and are strongly sustaining
the same. The lawless element and few
Democratic bosses and officials are dissat-
isfied and howl political persecution"
Let the CALLED jade vince. 1t high time
that it were established that shackled and
defenseless prisoners in the county Jail
can not be assaulted, without punish
ment being melted out to the offending
party and that citizens have some rights
that the peace officers Of this county are
bound to respect.

THE COLLECTION OF TAXES IN GRANT
COUNTY,

The two Silver City papers, the Enter
prise and the Southwest Sentinel, rush to
the rescue of the collector OF the county
of Grant, H. II. Whitehill, and endeavor
to demonstrate that the said collector s
accounts with the territory are IN good
shape. That may be the case from their
stand point. However, the New MEXICAN
will simply give the facts in the case and
the tax payers can Judge for themselves.
The records show that II. II. Whitehill,
sheriff and collector OF Grant county,
stands charged with the following amounts
on the territorial records
Delinquent taxes, $7,30G.05; licenses
for 1890, S., 32S.5l; taxes, 1890, $42,77S.-
IS total, 800 Alb SO. Up to January %
of this year the following credits appear
Cash paid, sis, G0S.1; mileage and COM
missions, 1884 IS; total credits, $40, 494.'
IL. Still due and unaccounted for, $780,
92O.32. No payments or settlements have
been made since January % last. The
law requires that payments should be
made monthly on the 10th of each month
and regular settlement with the boarC
of county commissioners every six months
in January and in July. Why is the law
not carried out?

The Mora Echo speaks as follows of
Ell Nuevo Mexicano, the Spanish paper
published in this city by the New MExI-
CAN Printing company:
1.-THE new Spanish publication, Ell
Nuevo Mexicano, published at Santa Fe,
by "The New MEXICAN Printing COM
pany," is on our table; it is full of vim,
vinegar and vitriol. There is room for
plenty more, like you, brother. In the
language of the old Spanish proverb.
MAY You live thousand years and your
shadow never grow less"
In this connection it is well to state
that Ell Nuevo Mexicano increases in Cir
culation and influence daily.

IT is said that there is growing sentl-
ment in congress favoring the idea OF
turning over to the states and territories
all the public lands within their respec-
tive borders. 1t is right that this should
be done; this paper has been foremost in
urging such action for years, and it is
pleased, to note that its agitation OF the
subject is beginning to be felt. Other
Journals in the west are now also con-
tending for the same principle. Let the
good work be kept up. This is one OF
those things that can never be settled till
it's settled right, and when it is rightsd
congress need bother itself no more about
aiding arid land irrigation enterprises
The states and territories of the west will
attend to such enterprises for themselves

selection of delegates.
Under existing rules alternates are not
allowed, and proxies can not be recog-
nized unless held by resident OF the

ings.
Where no county committee exists the
members of the territorial committee will
perform the duties of the county COM
mittee.
County conventions should not be held
later than August 80, 1890.
The chairman and secretary of county
conventions will certify list OF delegates
to the territorial convention, and mai
same to the secretary of the executive
committee at Santa Fe not later than
September 2.

that an efficient county committee is
selected, and that chairman is appointed
for every precinct. ). b. AXrELL,

MR.. JOSEPH's LAND GRANTS,

As Delegate Antonio Joseph is now
posing as a great enemy of the claimants
of Spanish and Mexican land grants, and
as Mr.. Gildersleeve, chairman of the
Democratic central committee, intends
that Mr.. Joseph shall run on an anti-land
grand platform, it is well to give the
record of Mr.. Joseph in this matter. The
official data at the surveyor generals Of
flee show as follows:
Report No. 81, file No. l45, grant to the
town OF Cieneguilla, twenty-five square
leagues or about 100000 acres claimed !;
approved by surveyor general and sur
veyed for AZ, 051 acres. About 5 per cent
of the tract is agricultural land, and 95
percentum is timber and grazing land J.;
claimed by Anthony Joseph, ct al.
Report No. III, file No. 1856, Ojo Cal
iente grant, claimants want $4,000 acres.
Grant approved and surveyed for 1880
acres. Five per cent of tract agricultural
land, % per cent timber and grazing land.
Approved and surveyed by surveyor gen
eral for $500 acres. Claimants: An
thony Joseph ct al.
According to the best calculations over
500 poor people live upon these grants.
If Mr.. Josephs title to these large tracts
is established, these poor people will be
compelled to leave and loose their all. No
steps have so far been taken to dispossess
them for the reasons that the grants
are unconfrmed and farther to allow GER
tain old people who are well acquainted
with all matters pertaining to the titles,
surveys, etc., time to leave this mundane
sphere.
There are some racy stories extant Of
how title was obtained for the Cieneguills
grant and some others no less interesting
about the Ojo Caliente grant.
As far as the Republicans are CON
cerned, it is to be hoped that Delegate
Antonio Joseph will be nominated by the
Democrats on an anti-land grant platform
By the way, it is understood, that the
Cieneguilla grant is for sale for 100000
and that several agents are endeavorine
to dispose of it at that figure. What have
the people living upon the grant to say
about that?

IT was strong Democratic house and
an alleged Democratic reform president
(Cleveland), who signed the law in 1888,
withdrawing all the land west of the
Tooth meridian, from any kind of entry.
Thus virtually tieing up S50,000,000 acres
of government land, so that lot OF for
eigners that may come over to this coun-
try in twenty or thirty years from now may
have chance to get home for nothing.
viii the people OF the west denounce
this law as it deserves, and promptly send
petitions to congress demanding its i'm
mediate repeal?

STATEHOOD for New Mexico means pros
perity, progress and increased values. 1t
means good wages for the laboring man,
for the miner and for the wage worker ;
it means increased and better business for
the merchant. 1t will bring capital and
people into New Mexico. Every citizen,
having the welfare and advancement OF
New Mexico at heart, will vote for the
adoption Of the constitution on the 18th Of
October coming.

THE constitution as framed and amend
ed is a most excellent, liberal and honest
document. 1t is fully abreast of the times
in all matters constituting such a docu-
ment. The charge that the apportion-
ment for the legislature gives the Repub-
Leans an undue advantage is absolutely
false and entirely unjust. The facts show
quite the reverse. No good, patriotic and
public spirited citizen, regardless of all
party affiliations, can afford to vote against
the adoption of the constitution.

A convention of the Republican party
of the county OF Santa Fe is hereby called
to meet at the court house in the city Of
Santa Fe at II o'clock a. IN. on Tuesday,
the I'd day of September, 1890, for the
purpose of selecting eight delegates to

1t may be Republican state, and it
may be Democratic one, but let's unite
together and make New Mexico state.
The chances are rather favorable to it's
becoming a Democratic commonwealth.
This opinion is based on the fact tina
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1890-08-23

New MEXfco has as large population
as Delaware. The latter has two SEN
ators and a representative in congress,
and gets all the good things she wants.
New Mexico has no voice at all in con-
gress, and gets kicks, cuffs and abuse.
New Mexico ought to be state That is
the long and short of it.
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1890-08-23

the bulk OF the immigrants to New Mex
leo are now coming from Texas and Ark
ansas, and they are nearly all Democrats.
The Republicans are going to the north
west, where they are finding homes i'll
those new commonwealths. While we
prefer that New Mexico should be q Re-
publican state We would much prefer it a
Democratic state than Republ can ter
ritory.
1t is fortunate thing to remove the
state constitution question out OF the
field of partisan politics, and thus give
the people OF the territory a chance to
vote on the question free from all en-
tanslement 1t is idle to assert that the
people of New Mexico do not want state
hood. All people the world over love
liberty and cherish the dream OF self
government. There is no people so sod
den and debased as not to cherish home
rule and home rulers. The people OF
New Mexico may be divided on the best
plan OF state government, but the great
err majority favor any plan rather than
longer continuance OF territorial vas
salage under the neglectful care OF an
Indifferent congress. The vote on the
proposed constitution will occur on Oc-
tober 7, at special election, and Demo
Gratis and Republicans for the time will
cease to be partisans, and join together
in efforts to create another state of the
greatest republic in the history OF the
world. The privilege is grand one, and
should be discharged by the people in q
serious manner.
