job Printing.

Merchants and others are hereby re-
minded that the New MEXICAN is pre-.
pared to do their printing on short notice
and at reasonable rates. Much of the job
printing now going out Of town should
come to the New MEXICAN Office. There
in no better excuse for sending out of
town for printing than there is for sending
away for groceries or clothing, Our mer-
chants should consider these things. The
New MEXICAN is acknowledged the lead
ing paper of this section, The patronage
of the people will enable ns to keep it so.

so LET 1T BE,

1t is a cold day when our more or less
esteemed contemporaries OF Democratic
faith and matchmaking propensities do
not get hot at the New MEXICAN. This
being midsummer, it follows, that they
are hot, angry, mad, disguised and both
cred at and by the New MEXICAN daily.
Poor things, they are indeed to be pitied.
In the meantime the New MEXICAN sails
along smoothly and unconcernedly, in
creasing its subscription list, doing good
for the people, the territory and the Re-
publican party, and showing up and
thwarting dishonest and thieying schemes
by these enemies OF good government and
the interests Of the people, the Demo
cratic bosses and Doodle ringsters OF New
Mexico. The New MEXICAN is satisfied,
ergo the Matchmaking sheets and Demo-
cratic bosses are dissatisfied.

DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION TO NEW MEX
ICO INTERESTS,


Senators Edmunds, Teller, Stew art and
Plumb on Thursday last advocated in the
United States senate the passage Of the
bill, providing for the settlement of Span
ish and Mexican land grants in New
Mexico. Senators Reagan and Morgan
opposed the bill bitterly and vehemntly.
The first four named are Republicans the
latter two are Democrats. Whenever
there appears chance to hurt New Mex
leo, or to SANDER the territory or her peo-
pie, Democratic senators and congressman
and Democratic officials jump at the
chance and use it up compl etely, venting
their hatred and spleen as fully as they
can. During the Cleveland administra-
ton, the Democratic officials appointed
by him and who disgraced their Offices
out here, took every possible occasion to
abuse and Islander New Mexico and the
people of New Mexico, even in their Off
cial reports, and now Democratic senators
do their best to hurt New Mexico by re-
tarding legislation absolutely necessary to
its advancement and peace. 1t was al
ways thus. The Democracy can not for
get that this was free soil and loyal ter
ritory and furnished, according to its pop
ulation, very large percentage Of volun-
teers to the union armies.

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 500, 600.
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
Republican administration is honest.
That is all.

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 $3.50, 900 per year; the people must
not forget that, owing to wise and bene
hcial legislation passed by Republican
legislature over the veto Of that Doodle
governor, put into Office by Grover Cleve-
land, and owing to a JUS, aud honest ad-
ministration OF the courts, this entire ex-
pense of their administration for the first
Twelve months of the present Republican
regime, amounted to only 100000, in
which sum there is included an estimate
oil 4 deficiency in the pay OF jurors, etc,
of about 10000; this means that under
the Democratic administration the people
OF New Mexico we're Systematically and
constantly robbed by corrupt Judges and
dishonest court officials.

Al the present rate Of progress Kansas
will in few years be supplying large
share of the vests demand for sugar and
syrups. An enormous yield Of sorghum
is reported from the fields of that state
this year. The acreage planted to sorghum
is 10, 100, as against 5000 acres last year,
and the cane has been contracted for by
the various mills in the state at from $3.50
to 5000 per ton. Sorghum is crop that
i1ourishes particularly well in New Mex
leo and our farmers may well take cour-
age from the success which has attended
the introduction OF this crop into Kansas
during the past three years.

THE DEEP WATER HARBOR

Every citizen Of New Mexico ought to
be found talking and working for a direct
railway connection with the magnificent
deep water harbor which Chicago capital
is providing on the gull of Mexico at the
mouth OF the Brazos river, There is now
twenty. four feet of depth in this harbor,
and by system Of jetties proposed to be
constructed it can be increased to sufli-
cient depth to admit the largest ships
ahoat. Already a considerable town has
sprung up there, and the place is destined
at no late day to be, not only a great sea
port, but manufacturing point OF some
note. Now that the Pecos valley railroad
is under construction, the gap to be built
between the Pecos and Rio Grande val
leys to afford New Mexico connection
with the mouth Of the Brazos does not
seem half so formidable an undertaking
as heretofore. The railroad company
that builds it will not only reap rich
reward, but will perform timely service
which the people of New Mexico would
appreciate to the fullest.

DURING three and half years OF the
Ross Doodle administration OF the terri
toriaI penitentiary there was received
from the labor OF convicts and the feeding
OF United States prisoners the sum OF
$500. During the first twelve months
of the present Republican administration
from March 1889, to March 1890,
(there being about the same number OF
prisoners in the institution year per year,
from 1855 to 1890 there was received the
amount of 5000, 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-Goy. Ross was
dishonest, extravagant and inefficient.

AMERICA FOR AMERICANS.

| have been to Birmingham, England,
and the manufacturers, to a man, are
down on McKnley's tariff bill.
Over in Berlin and Chemnitz, Ger
many, last week, every manufacturer |
met, said Mckinley tariff bill would hurt
German manufacturers.
The manufacturers of Belgium and
France charge the trainers Of the McKin-
ley bill with favoring America at the ex-
pense of Europe.
What, O Sun, shall say to these Eu-
ropeans? Shall | say am free trader
and for them, or for a protective tariff,
and America?
The European manufacturers all tell
me with tears in their eyes that a protective
tariff in America means poverty in Eu-
rope, and that free trade in America
means mills running on full time in Eu-
rope and wealth to the monarchies.
The tariff question is plain to everyone
here. - London Correspondence New
