The entire expense Of the territory 70,
the three months ending September 4,
1890, were $2Y, 057.3S. During the Ross
Doodle administration when Democratic
judges, clerks and district attorneys rob-
bed this territory most numerically,
when the penitentiary WAS being dshon.
est and badly conducted and when the
Democratic territorial officials thought OF
nothing else, but stealing from the treas
ury under the form of law, the expenses
Of the courts alone for any three months
exceeded the entire amount of the total ex-
penditures for the three months above
given. That is what Republican legis-
lature and Republican administration
has done for the people and tax payers OF
New Mexico. 1t strikes US as being most
excellent work and it will 80 strike the
good citizens and tax payers of New Mex
leo, regardless of party affiliation.

THANKS to legislation enacted by Re-
publican congress in favor of the silver
and lead miners of this country and spe-
cally of the southwest, the mining camps
in New Mexico are becoming very active
and the miners are finding plenty of work
at good wages. They should vote there
fore for the candidates of the Republican
party locally and for congress and show
their appreciation OF the good and bene,
fetal work done for them by that party
they should remember that the Demo
cratic candidate for reelection, Delegate
Antonio Joseph, did all he could to de-
feat legislation favoring the miners Of

state of New Mexico, and insist that ample
means shall be produced by taxation for
their support for period of not less than
SIX months in the year, and we further
favor the comforting upon the voters OF
each school district the right to impose
additional taxes for such district for such
purposes, and We urge the election of
members to the legislature who will favor
such measures.
We denounce and condemn in the most
unqualified terms the slanderous charge
of the Democracy that the native people
of this territory are mentally ard morally
disqualified for self government; on which
ground that party bases its chief objection
to the constitution.
We favor the protection of laborers and
EN- ployes and the adoption of proper laws
securing to them liens for their services
and also establishing suitable courts Of
arbitration for the settlement of differ
ences between employees and employers.
Resolved, That we recommend and
adopt as a designating device, to be print
ed on the face and at the head OF the
ticket or ballot of the Republican party
to be voted at the various polling places
in this territory at the general election, to
be held on the first Tuesday of November
next, the American flag; and that we re-
gard the action of the territorial Demo
cratic convention, recently held at Silver
City, III specially refusing to adopt the
same emblem, as characteristic OF the
history of the Democratic party ever since

officer OF that court for two years, while

strikes us. The people of this county

SHOULD the Democratic ticket be sue
cessful and judging from the past and the
doings of the men, who dictated the
nomination of that ticket and who have
run county affairs for the past few years
and will run them for the next two years
in the manner indicated by their past
record, the tax payers, the business men
and real estate owners here will have to
pay taxes of over4 per cent per annum. A
most cheering prospect that, and one that
surely ought to make the tax payers and
business men consider the situation Sc
riously and carefully.

Tile Democratic board of county {

THE Democratic board of county COM
missioners of this county during the past
two years has neglected the interests of
the people shamefully. One of the men,
bers of that board is candidate for re-
to the Office OF county commissioner is a
nephew Of one OF the present commits
sioners. 1t is high time that better men
were elected to these important positions;
business men, men of ability, tax payers,
property owners should be county COM
missioners; the Republicans have nomi-
mated such men. Put them into office
and secure decent and honest county
government for the next two years.

THE indications are that Mora county is
slipping away from the control of the
Democracy, and that the Peoples ticket
in that county will be successful. The
Democratic ring that has been misman-
aging county affairs in that county for
several years has been thoroughly corrupt
and lawless, something upon the style Of
the Democratic boss of this county, and
the people demand change and will have
it. 1t looks further, should Mr.. Joseph
receive any majority at all in that county
that it will be a mighty small one as COM
pared with the Democratic majorities
heretofore.

THE aOOD OP COUNTY FAIRS,

The county fair is wonderful factor in
the development of local prosperity
Where the county fairs are most numer-
Gus throughout the eastern states, there
you will find the most thrift, the most
settled, home-lke population and the
most advanced and improved methods in
all the humber pursuits OF life, those that
the masses of the people depend upon for
their support and comfort. So, in a new
community, when the county fair agita-
ton is taken up in earnest it can be shown
to possess so many phases of pleasure and
profit that the people usually are not slow
in taking up aud carrying it on to a sue
cessful issue.
1t is therefore one of the best of good
signs of the times in New Mexico that
several enterprising communities are al
ready preparing for holding county fairs
next season. The territorial fair at Al
buquerque and the San Juan county fair
were pronounced successes this season,
and perhaps this result has spurred other
sections on to similar undertakings. New
Mexico is 80 conditioned that, until the
country is grid-ironed with railroads, there
can never be Capitalization of the fair
business, therefore the county fair must
be relied upon for some time to come.
The outlook now is that next year, instead
OF two, there will be four or more fairs
held in New Mexico. The Pecos
valley section Is already at work IN
this direction; Colfax county wants live
stock show, and Santa Fe intends to have
fruit and vegetable exhibit sometime
during the fall. These enterprises should
all be pushed steadily forw ard, beginning
now, and with the San Juan county ialr
and the territorial exposition will make
showing for New Mexico that can not but
hovn q beneficial effect upon people both
at home and abroad.

The west needs manufactures as a
general thing, but it is especially note
worthy that capitalists in Pueblo, Colo,
have just organized for the purpose Of
manufacturing the newly patented Jenk-
ms mining drill. 1t is designed to take
the place of the common hand-drill used
by miners, and is operated by an eco
nomical electrical arrangement which
ought to be very popular among miners.
1t is a money saving and not labor
saving invention, for while it does not
reduce the number of laborers it lightens
their work very materially and largely
increases their production. Although
newly patented and manufactured at
present in Philadelphia only on small
scale, there are orders in already for over
1000 Of these drills.

DURING the Democratic administration
from 1885 to 1889, the expenses of the
territorial prison amounted to $52 900 pc,
annum. During the first year under s
Republican regime. from March 4, 1889
to March 4, 1890, the expenses, with the
same number of prisoners. were 500 .000
1t is plain to any person who can read
and understand that the management
under the Democratic administration was
dishonest, and the management under q
Republican administration is honest
That ia all.

as to compel sheriffs and collectors to
make prompt settlements on the 10th of
