THE people Of New Mexico must not
forget that under the Ross Doodle admin
stration, 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 $l60, 900 per year; the people must
not forget that, owing to wise and bene
hcial legislation passed by a Republican
legislature over the veto of that Doodle
governor, put into Office by Grover Cleve-
land, and owing to a jusl 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 10000; this means that under
the Democratic administration the people
of New Mexico were Systematically and
constantly robbed by corrupt Judges and
dishonest court officials.

DURING three and halt years OF the
Ross Doodle administration OF the terri
torial 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 4 1889, to March 4 1890,
there being about the same number Of
prisoners in the institution year per year
from 1885 to 1890 there was received the
amount of $4,000, from the same source.
Facts arc 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-Gov. Ross was
dishonest, extravaganza and inefficient.

HOME INTERESTS.

As Senator Teller had occasion to re-
mark in the senate the other day, Senator
Reagan's solicitude for the people OF the
west is truly touching. Reagan has all
through the present session supported
the Coyetous Powell in his schemes
to fasten the grip OF the geological
survey on the throats of the west
ern arid land settlers and he has
quite as vehemently fought the interests
of the silver and lead miners OF the west
by undertaking to have the cheap leads OF
Mexico peon labor admitted to this coun-
try free Of duty. Had his efforts succeeded
New Mexico would have been very
great sufferer.
But fortunately and Notwithstanding
the fact that New Mexico had at Wash
ington no one to represent the
real interests of her people, the
Republican senators and congress

DISTRICT ATTORNEY TWITCHELI

The term Of the district court that has just
closed has been one OF very arduous labor
on the part of the territorial attorney for
| this county, Mr.. K. +. TwitChell. He has
worked hard, faithfully, energetically and
successfully. His natural alertness and
keen perception stood him in good stead
and enabled him to DO the people of the
territory and of this county excellent
service.
Lawlessness and violations of law has
received quite set back in this county, ow-
ing greatly to his efforts and the thorough
work done by him before the grand jury,
and the whole territory will be benefited
thereby. There has been a good deal of
bulldozing and intimidation practiced
here during the past few years by Off
Gals there have been many violations Of
the law by men acting as officers and
county officials during that time; crime
was on the increase and lawlessness and
vice were Haunting about impertnently
and wholly unconcerned as to results
A most shocking murder had been COM
mitted, that was passed over by the peace
officers OF the county as a mere matter Of
course. Public funds were not being
handled honestly or for the best interests
OF the people and were not being &C.
counted for or paid over to the proper
custodians as the law required. In fact
the situation was not hopeful one.
But owing greatly to Mr.. Twitchell' s
firmness, hard work, intelligent and sue
cessful handling of the cases brought be-
fore the grand jury or tried, and his keen
ness and untiring energy in collecting tes-
timony, and to the good work by the re-
cent grand jury, change for the better
has taken place, and there can exist no
doubt but that the future will be great
improvement on the past few years in the
matters alluded to above. The law-abid-
ing and quiet citizens will have much
more to say, and healthy public senti-
ment will assert itself. Brutality, rufan-
ism, dishonesty in office and lawlessness
had best hide and keep away to the rear
OF the procession, at least while Mr..
Twitchell represents the territory as pro-
scouting officer in this district and while
there are fearless, honest and law-abiding
citizens as grand jurors and honest and
competent judges on the bench.
The people of this county, the good citi-
zens thereof, are grateful to the district
attorney and to the grand jury for the
great and beneficial work done by them
during the last term of the court.
If District Attorney Twitchell continues
to do his duty in the manner in which he
has performed the same during the year
he has been in office, and specially during
the recent term here land we think he
will do So he will make one of the best
most successful and most valuable public
officials and prosecuting attorneys this
territory or this district have ever had.

for the west as respects both the arid
lands and the mining industry is alone
due to Republican influence in congress-
In it, too, may be seen the good that
the newly admitted states have been able
to aid in accomplishing for the local well
fare OF the arid and mining sections of the
country. Business men of New Mexico
ought to take note of this fact at the
present vital time in the history of the
territory. 1t is plain that we have little
to expect as long as we remain outside
Of statehood, and had it not been that
other western states interests were eff
feCted in this instance as much as ours,
we should to day be at the mercy Of such
bitter antagonists as Reagan and Nor
gan, ct al. Let the people adopt the
pending constitution, and themselves
elect a congressional delegation from the
state of New Mexico who will properly
represent our interests.

A MUCH NEEDED CHANGE.

The decent, honest and law abiding
citizens and tax payers of Santa Fe county
are very much interested in having hon
est and competent county officials, collec-
tors and peace officers in office. 1t can
not truthfully be said that the admins
tration OF Santa Fe county, especially
during the past five years, has either
been an honest or decent or a creditable
one. 1t is high time that q change was
brought about, and that this thing of
running this county into debt deeper
and deeper daily ceased. The ring that
has ruled and nigh ruined this county
must be hurled from power, and that at
the coming election, else this county will
90 from bad to worse and its debt will
increase, public funds will be squandered
and embezzled, and the tax payers will
have to foot the bill.

SUCH IS THE SITUATION,

Were this the state of New Mexico and
had this state two United States senators
and member Of congress to represent
her interests in Washington, the head
quarters of the department of Arizona
would have been established here on
September /. AS it is, there is great
danger, that this boon will be lost to this
city and to New Mexico, although it is
universally acknowledged and established
hey ond cavil or contradiction, that this
city possesses all necessary requirements,
namely splendid strategic position, rail
and telegraph connection with all parts
of New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and
the Mexico frontier; has the healthlest
and best climate on the North American
continent, pure water, and the government
having large property interests here.
This should be lesson to the citizens of
this city and county. The citizen or
property owner of Santa Fe, who votes
against statehood and the constitution
at the bidding Of a few sorehead poiti-
clans who hate Santa Fe, who injure
this city and county at every opportunity,
who Islander Santa Fe, who tell people
to keep away from here, who would
move the capital from here if they could,
who lie about the people OF the capital
city constantly, simply hurts himself,
his property interests and the advance
ment and growth of this city. That is
the situation and nothing else can be
