and the four baby Suffolks are as big as
she is; until even old Fredericksburg
awakes from the sleep of centuries and
rubbing the moss from her back and
wiping the cobwebs from her eyes, rush
es to the front with population of 81,
goo, while four new Fredericksburg OF
equal size, though fewer years, are racing
at her heels
But when all this has come to pass
there will still be room in Virginia for 100
cities at from 10000 to 10000 each, or
one for every county in the State.
Ii, however, Virginia Is ever to be as
populOus as Massachusetts, we cannot
stop here. The latter State has fifty
towns of from 1900 to 10000 each. Vir-
ginia must find room for five times as
many, inasmuch as she has five times the
territory and many advantages which
Massachusetts lacks We must find room
for $50 towns of 1000 to 10000 people,
These are cold facts, undeniable, unim-
peachable and indisputable. And yet
we are grayely told that town building
is overdone.
A new era in the history of the Old
Dominion is at hand. The distrust en-
gendered by thirty years of strife is
passing away. New England vim, en-
terprise and capital are flowing into the
South in generous stream. The curse
and blight of slavery has been lifted
from the whites of the South. New hope
is in the hearts of our people. New
blood is coursing their veins. A new life
is moving and striving in the old State.
A new generation has grown up since
the cataclysm of 1865, and her young
men are coming grandly to the front
The material development of the State
in the next ten years will surprise the
of the most sanguine
boomers of to-day.

1t will be observed that Massachusetts
has one city with a population of 36s,-
600, five with 10000 or mors, seventeen
with 10000 or over, and thirty-one with
10000 or over. But this is not all. Be
sides these cities she has so towns with a
population of from 1900 to 10000 each.
Now, no man of intelligence will deny
that Virginia is capable of supporting
much denser population than Massach4-
setts.5 Let us be moderate. We have
territory five times as large. Let us say
Virginia will cease to grow when she has
five times as many inhabitants. Unless
somebody can show that this is unrea-
sonable, we must expect our cities to
continue to grow until Richmond and
Norfolk have 100000 inhabitants each,
and three new cities of equal size have
sprung into being; until Lynchburg has
a population of 10000, and four cities
now unnamed rival herin size; until Ro-
anol1e and Mineral City have $4,000 each,
and three cities yet undreamed of are
running with them neck and neck; I'M

unnamed sisters equal her in size until

villes march at her heels; until Alexan-
dria has 10000. and four new cities OF
equal size have come into being; until
Charlottesville has $4,000, and four new
cities have each as many; until Staun-
ton has 40, 900, and four young and yet I'M

the use of corn and corn products among

being cheap, can in large measure sup

TIE REPUBLICAN PARTY THE FRIEND
OF NEW MEXICO.

The Republican party in congress
has enacted measures that have ad-
ded hundreds of thousands of dollars
to the earnings of the lead and silver
miners of New Mexico and her sheep
rasers and wool growers. The legisla-
ton passed by Republican congress has
all been of the greatest benefit to the peo-
pie of this territory. NJ. S. Otero is the
candidate of the party that has done this
good work for our people Antonio Joseph
is the candidate Of the party that has op-
posed with might and main this to New
Mexico wholesome legislation. 1t is
therefore right and just that the masses
Of the voters Of New Mexico should vote
for Mr.. Otero. He can do them more
good in congress and with the admins
tration than Joseph possibly could do.
He is an able, earnest and capable man.
Vote for him, elect him, and help your
own best interests.

The Head Boss.
Mr.. T. B. Catron is in town.
What business in Albuquerque and in
Bernalillo county politics has this arch
plotter against Albuquerque and Ber-
nalillo county, this manipulation of legls-
latures for the interests OF Santa Fe and
Santa Fe county against the rest OF the
territory.
1t means that in the past the members
OF the legislature from Bernalillo county
have either uniformly betrayed the in
terests of their constituents, or have been
like putty in the hands of this brsiny and
interruptions man.
1t means that in the past the local
county bosses, Catron's deputy bosses,
have been able to select and have elected
legislators from Bernalillo county accepta-
BILE to the head boss.
1t recalls the undisputed fact that the
capitol bill tax was, by Catron, with the
help of the Bernalillo county members OF
the legislature, ssddled upon the people
ior the sole benefit of the town of Santa
Fe at the expense of all the people.
1t recalls the fact, undisputed, that the
penitentiary bill tax was, by Catron, with
the help OF the Bernslillo county members
of the legislature, saddled upon all the
people for the sole benefit of the town OF
Santa Fe.
1t recalls the undisputed fact that Cat
ron. with the help Of the Bernalillo coun
ty members of the legislature, in the last
legislature, had passed a bill requiring
the penitentiary convicts to work the
streets of Santa Fe, without expense to
the town of Santa Fs; though if Santa Fe
had been required to pay just price for
this work, the expense of running the
penitentisry would have been lessened
that much to the people and their taxes,
II recalls the famous "rape of Chill
ILL.," which Catron, with the help Of
the known corruption or the stupidit,
of the Bernalillo county members Of
the legislature, had perpetrated for the
purpose of transferring a large slice Of
Bernalillo county to Santa Fe county a
large portion of the tax paying population
of Bernalillo county, without requiring
Santa Fe county to assume just and
corresponding proportion Of Bernalillo
county's debt. That bill lessened Santa
Fe county's taxes without requiring he,
to pay for the benefit; and increased Ber-
nalillo county's taxes, without giving he,
any corresponding beneft.-Albuquerque

JUDGE 0 BRIEN ON THE WHITE CAP
OUTRAGES,

The New MEXICAN is gratlfed at the
tenor of the strong and able charge made
by Judge OBrien to the grand jury of the
district court in San Miguel county on
opening that court on Monday last.
The so-called White Cap eutrages have
been burning shame, bitter disgrace and
great injury to the county of San Miguel
i'll particular and to the people of New
Mexico in general.
The White Cap movement was started
by few INSCRIPTIONS and ambitious poll
ticians for political purposes; these men
have inAamed the passions of the people
in the country districts and have worked
upon the ignorance OF the people; they
have under the guise of Knights of Labor
organized lodges of White Caps in San
Miguel, Mora and this-Santa Fe county
and are really to blame for all OF the
mischief done.
The strong arm Of the law must and
shall be exercised to crush these unlawful
and very dangerous combinations; it is
more than likely the case, however, that
the ring leaders have been sufficiently
shrewd to keep in the background and
that only some of the poor dupes who do
the ring leaders bidding will be punished
No property owner, no good citizen, nc
man interested in the welfare and prog.
ress of New Mexico, can afford to sup
port the tickets put into the field by the
White Cap lodges; the United Peoples
ticket in San Miguel is such ticket; the
Democratic ticket in Santa Fe county is
such ticket; the Democratic ticket in
Mora county is such a ticket; a vote for
any of these tickets means lawlessness
and opposition to law and order, fence
cutting, house burning, intimidation and
similar outrages.
AS Judge OBrien states, the law is
more than ample to protect all good cti.
zens in their rights and this thing Of
White Cap outrages for the purposes Of
redressing fancied or supposed wrongs
must and shall stop.
All good citizens of this territory, espe.
cially in the three counties where the
White Cap element exists, namely, San
Miguel, Mora and Santa Fe, should heed
and act upon the following language
used by Chief Justice OBrien in his
charge to the jury:
"Let me impress upon you an import
ant duty which you owe to yourselves, to
the county of San Miguel and to the char
acter OF the people whose fair name has
been injured in the estimation of all law
abiding citizens, by recent acts of violence
and injustice, in the wanton destruction

RAILWAYS FOR THE SAN JUAN

The Rio Grande Southern railway, the

by sending its survey corps into San Juan
county, south of Durango, Colo. There
are signs that sharp competition for a
foot-hold in northwest New Mexico is

WHY THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES FOR
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS SHOULD
BE ELRCTED

The debt OF this county is simply fear
full to behold it is growing rapidly; I'M
less checked, reduced and scaled down it
will soon amount to the sum of 5000 900
or 20 per cent of the taxable property of
this county; it becomes the imperative
duty of all good citizens and especially Of
the property owners and tax payers to
vote for county commissioner who pos
sesses business ability, honesty, standing
in the financial world, and acquaintance
with fnanciers and capitalists and who
can by his standing and known integrity
in the business world induce the present
holders of the bonds of this county to en-
ter into an arrangement, whereby the
down, refunded for less amount and a
lower rate OF interest This mode
OF procedure is the only salvation for this
county the Republicans have nominated
the right sort of a man to help this coun-
ty in that direction, and that man is MIR.
A. Staab; he should by all means be
elected; if elected he will endeavor to
aid this county in the manner indicated
above; the other two nominees on the
Republican ticket, Messrs. Nesbitt and
Juan Garcia, should be, elected to assist
him in this work
The tax payers and property owners,
and in fact all good citizens are therefore
vitality interested in this matter and
should cast their votes for the three
Republican nominees for county COM
missioners.

route runs three through trains between
