THE DEMOCRATIC WHITE CAP
POLICY,

1t is the acknowledge policy OF the
Democratic leaders, north and south, east
and west in New Mexico, to benefit by
the lawess outrages and outrageous
actions OF the White Caps and so-called
Knights Of Labor, and carry the coming
elections through and by this agency
This is openly acknowledged and the
party, through its papers and bosses,
seems to be committed to such q policy.
That being the case it behooves all public
spirited patriotic and honest citizens of
New Mexico, regardless of party, to stand
by the party that believes in crushing the
lawless White Cap element, and in pro-
lection to the lives and property of our
citizens and the supremacy OF the law.
Not a tax payer, not a merchant, not q
land owner, not single good citizen,
high or low, rich or poor, born in New
Mexico or elsewhere, can afford to stand
by the ruin or rule policy of the Demo-
cratic leaders and bosses, unless he de-
sires his property Of all kinds deprecated,
capital and immigrants kept out of New
Mexico and lawlessness and reign of ter
ror the order OF the day. If he desires
such, let him vote the Democratic ticket,
as dictated by the men who now control
the destinies of the Democratic party in
New Mexico.

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
nclal legislation passed by Republican
legislature over the veto of that Doodle
governor, put into Office by Grover Cleve-
land, and owing to d JUS, and honest ad-
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 $4,000; this means that under
the Democratic administration the people
of New Mexico were systematically and
constantly robbed by corrupt Judges and
dishonest court officials.

THE RECENT DECISION IN THE MAX
WE'LL CASE,

Inc cases u:sposeu Oh uuIiug Tic past
week at the present session of the district
court for this district, wherein the Max
well Land Grant company was the plain
tiff and some of the settlers, seven in all
were the defendants, are matter of con.
siderable interest not only to the legal
profession, but to the people of the terri
tory generally. The facts briefly stated
are as follows: After the sale of the
grant by Maxwell to the Maxwell Grant
company, although the fact that the grant
had been confirmed by congress many
years before for the whole of the land in
Guided within the outboundaries, without
restriction of area, for political and other
purposes certain parties had, without care
for the trouble that might ensue thereby,
advised parties to settle on the land with
out respect to the owners title, alleging
that the grant would probably be ultimate
ly cut down to twenty-five leagues. Not
withstanding the constant publication of
notices of warning to such settlers, and
the personal notices given by the officers
of the company, large number of set
tiers squatted on the lands of the COM
pany, necessitating the bringing of many
suits in ejectment. The wise and liberal
policy pursued in the past few years by
the present management of that large
property has, in a very quiet and friendly
manner, adjusted the differences in nearly
all of these cases, over 400 having been 80
adjusted to the entire satisfaction of both
parties.
The cases we're representative cases of
a remaining small band of more stubborn
settlers, who were unwilling to come to
any terms whatever with the company,
and the result shows how much more
kindly the company have dealt with these
ill advised people, than has the law which
they have invoked. The decision in these
cases will, We are advised, bring about an
early settlement of the remaining cases
and remove the last trace OF opposition to
the company's title, and this We feel to
be matter of congratulation to all good
citizens. We say this, in view of tn
fact that the company is using every
means in its power to dispose of its lands
in small holdings to actual settlers, and,
by the investment of large sums of money
in irrigatlng plants, and other public
spirited measures (such as the induce.
ment to railroads and manufactures is

THE PRESENT CONSTITUTION IS
ALL RIGHT,

The Democratic bosses are ready to
commence negotiations in the matter Of
endorsing the constitution, provided the
appointment is changed to suit them.
they want it changed on the Mississippi
plan, where the constitutional conven-
ton contains ll3 Democrats and two Re-
publicans, or on the Alabama plan where
the legislature just elected contains not a
Republican in the state senate and but
three Republicans and one Independent
out of ITO members of the house of repre-
sentatives. That sort OF an apportion-
ment would suit, but no other. They
can go to. The present apportiopment is
an eminently fair, just and honest one
and should stand. The Democratic lead
ers can do as they please. No matter
what their action, there are a good many
patriotic and decent Democrats who will
vote for the constitution on the 4th of No
vember next; the constitution will be
adopted.

NEW MEXICO'S CLAIMS.

1t is urged as an argument in favor of
the admission of New Mexico as a state,
that in the treaty of peace with Mexico
by which that territory was coded to the
United States, it was stipulated that she
should be incorporated into the union at
the proper time. 1t is said that "Mexico
in ceding New Mexico, in her wisdom
looked to the further protection and well
fare of her citizens, and knowing that a
state government would give the greatest
benefit and security, stipulated for it on
behalf of the relinquished population, 4"
A stipulation of something Of this kind
might have been made as a matter of
form and courtesy. But in actual fact,
Mexico was not in condition to demand
much Of anything for the relinquished

THE SALE OF TIE DENVER NEWS,

John Atkins has made nice thing out
of the sale of the Denver News at any
rate, notwithstanding the fact that ex-
Assistant Postmaster CLAIR son, Senator
Walcott, Gov. Cooper and other Republ-
cans failed to gather it in. 1t would have
been death-blow to Colorado Democ-
racy to have had this plant go into the
hands of Republicans. Tom Patterson,
Charlie Thomas, ct al, of the Democratic
gang knew this and when they found Ar
kins determined to sell they raked up the
cash and took the outfit at 100000, re-
tanning Mr.. Atkins as business manager.
That story about Tom Patterson quitting
law to enter upon the work of managing
the editorial department of the News
however, is just ut too flimsy to wash
oil

DURING the Democratic administration
from 1885 to 1889, the expenses OF the
territorial prison amounted to $50, 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 $29 900.
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.

working intelligently and industriousIy
toward the prosperous settlement of that
part of the territory. 1t matters not so
much to whom the titles of the various
grants in the territory are given by the
courts, so much as that the ownership be
speedily and finally determined. The
owners will soon find, as in the case OF
the Maxwell grant, that it is more profta-
BILE to sell the lands, than to hold them
in one body, and it would only then be a
question of a short time until these large
properties were sold off and held by
thrifty people who could make the best
use OF the lands in small holdings.

DURING three and a 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 1890,
(there being about the same number of
prisoners in the institution year per year,
from 1885 to 1S9O) there was received the
amount OF SO 900, 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, extravagant and inefficient.
