Will Not Equal Our Growth.

Says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat:
Missouri has 1859, TAI inhabitants in
1890, as compared with ,, 1863, 091 in 1880,
an increase of 400, $50 in the ten years.
This is an expansion of about % per
cent. The gain from 1870 to 1880 was
slightly greater than this in ratio, be-
ing only a small fraction less than 26
per cent The aggregate growth. how
ever, was greater in the decade now
ending than it was in the preceding
one. None of the States having 2,000,-
600 population or upward in 1880 are
likely to equal this increase.

THE ALIEN ACT.

That law which limits the holdings Of
land in the territories by foreign corpora
tons has long been particularly detri-
mental to New Mexico and Arizona. II
came Just at q time when these two terri
tories were engaged in fighting hostile
Apaches and after the other western ter
ritories had long had the benefits ola pull
on foreign capital with nolimitation what
ever. Indeed, it has been limited that
one cause for the passage OF such law
was with view to keeping the rich farm
lands of the southwest as far in the rear as
possible, the shrewd advocates of the bill
realizing the superior advantages of this
regions soil and climate as compared with
less favored regions to the north.
One OF the objects labored for by the
delegates from New Mexico recently in
Washington is the passage of an act that
will remove this restriction on the inc0m-
ing of foreign capital. They had several
conferences with public men on the sub
ject. and, among others, Gen, &. F. But
Ter, whose ready talent was brought to
/ bear in formulating measure which is
designed to remove this unjust limitation
so far as concerns the territories. The
bill thus formulated has recently been in
troduced in the house by Mr.. Joseph, and
appears to stand very good chance Of
becoming law. 1t certainly ought to. 1t
provides simply that corporations or
gained for the purpose Of supplying water
for irrigation of lands to be culonized q
reclaimed may sell or pledge the same as
may be necessary TO carry ont the objects
Of such corporation, in such quantities IS
may he deemed by them best, subject
only to the provisions and requirements
OF the territorial laws. 1t would he worth
q great deal to New Mexico should this
bill become law.

NEW MEXICO IS ALI, RIGHT

1t is so easy to cry dull tines. People
can say this thoughtiesSly, when nothing
else is at hand to be said, or when Il debt
is due and ought to be paid. They say it
largely from force of habit, or because
somebody else has just sad it; but gre
times really SO dull as some people would
have rs believe? We think not. Atany
rate times in New Mexico are good as
compared with many sections Of the
country. Take Kansas, or Iowa, or Mis-
souri,, if you really want TO find dull times
to day as they really are ; or Dakota, whore
the boosted wheat lands OF three years
ago have played completely out and
refuse to yield one tenth as much
as when first planted. Again, look
at California, the golden state" where,
according to the best information, th0us-
ands OF first class mechanics are out Of
work, no boom to longer attract the float
ing population, and deserving, but mis-
guided thousands of clerks and other
vorkmen idle, with no prospects for the
near future, On the other hand, New
Mexico, whose people chiefly are Of the
manor born, homogeneous and conserva-
tive in all their business methods--is not
New Mexico far better off to-day than
most of her neiLhbors? As dull times
are counted in most localities, New Mexico
is not dull. Her present is all right and
her future is roseate.

sections i, 5, 8, and 10 Clothe the gov
ernor in detail with all the executive
powers usually given to the governors Of
states.
He further objects that the constitution
provides for the suspension OF the governor
from office in case OF impeachment. This
exact provision is common to the states
of Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota. Ne
brasks, Texas, South Carolina, Florida
and Louisiana.
This euanaton from Ash. is fair
specimen of the dishonest opposition Of
his clique of the Democratic party to the
constitution and to admission Hereunder
The sole reliance of this gang is in mis-
representation, and in the ignorance OF
their dupes. Not single objection to
the constitution emanatlng from this
gang has been an honest one so TAR as We
have been able to discover. Not single
quotation made by them from the Santa
Fe constitution has been fairly and hon
estly made.
This reckless and dishonest opposition
has defeated its object. Many have been
led by the controversy to study the
constitution itself, and the study has
made opponents its friends. No man
who goes before the people as an oppo-
nent of the constitution, and admission
under it, has any political future in New
Mexico.
For this reason we welcome the oppo-
aition of the gang OF which the Headlight
and the Daily Blackmaier are the oreans.
The result will be the elimination from
our politics of the most discredltable gang
who ever foisted themselves upon our
long suffering people Lincoln Leader.

One element Vi native wealth in New
Mexico which has heretofore been neg
lected, chiefly because Of exorbitant
freight rates, is marble, and it is pleas
ant to note the interest now taken in
the development of the several quarrics
which have been opened since it became
possible to secure reasonable Transports
ton rate. At this time three very prom
ising marble deposits are in operation,
In one instance the full value OF the
marble has been recognized and the
material is in demand as far east as Chi
cago, in fact Chicago capital is back OF
the work OF development. Other depos-
its believed to be still better have only
been prospected as yet, and tests are now
being made in New York from which
great results are expected. Indeed it
may not surprise anybody if quality OF
statuary marble yet undiscovered outside
of Italy should ere long prove to exist in
large bodies in this territory.

he served and the true name by which he
is now known,
Veterans Of the war generally will
recognize and appreciate the value of this
special census to them, and they should
aid the census enumerators in getting
true statements in every way possible.
Without their cooperation correct re-
suits can not be reached. This personal
appeal is made to them, therefore, in the
hope that their attention may be special
ly directed TO the Importance of this work,
and the necessary information may be
promptly supplied to the census enumera-

VETERANS OF THE CIVIL WAR

AS part of the census Of the people to
be taken during the month of June spe-
cial provisions have been made by con-
gress for asCertaining the names OF sur
viving soldiers, sailors, and marines who
were mustered into the service Of the
United States during the war of the re-
belion, and Of the widows Of soldiers,
sailors, and marines who have diej. In
connection with this special census Of
veterans the organization or vessel in
which they served, the term OF service in
each case, and present residence will be
taken by the census enumerators. In
the case Of widows, information regard
ing the service of their deceased husbands
is also required.
The importance Of accurate statements
concerning the military record of each
participant in the late war should not be
understmated. 1t should be the duty,
moreover, OF every veteran soldier or
sailor to see that the enumeratOr is placed
in possession of the necessary informa-
ton concerning his own service. If he
can not be at home when the enumerator
calls he should leave proper memoran-
dunn in the hands of his wife or other
member of his household So that the
work of the census may not be delayed,
and also that there may be no doubt as to
the accuracy of the statement concerning
his service which may be given to the
census enumerator. That there may be
no question as to the points to be covered
by this memorandum, it may be well to
state that the special inquiries to he made
concerning veterans Of the civil war in
clude the name, the company, and the
regiment or vessel in which they served
their late rank, the dates of enlistment
and discharge, the length of service in
years, months and days, and their pres
ent postoffice address. Where a soldier
or sailor re-enlsted or served in more
than one organization or vessel, he should
he very careful to give the term Of service
in each instance, and to cover each en-
listment. In giving the organization care
should be taken to distinguish the arm Of
the service, rs infantry, cavalry, artillery,
etc., and II . person served under an rs

AND now the question arises, what has
the Iowa farmer got to do with the ad-
mission of lead ores from Mexico free OF
duty? What does he know about it any
way, aside from what he has been told by
the agents OF the sme.ter corporations?
Time was when Iowa and Kansas were
supposed to have the most level-heaIed
set of people in the west, but they seem
to have lost their grip on the center OF iu-
telligence; at any rate their action on the
Mexican lead ore question would seem to
indicate as much.

NEW MEXICO IN WASHINGTON.

Gov. Prince, of New Mexico, has re-
turned from Washington, where he went
with the delegation OF New Mexlcans to
advocate legislation in the interests of
that territory. He is much encouraged al
the reception accorded the delegates, and
he thinks that public sentiment Ill the
east in regard to New Mexico has greatly
improved,
Ii is not to be denied that there is a
great deal of ignorance among New Next
cans of the lower class. But the same is
true of the people of the mountainous
parts of Kentucky, Tennessee, North
Carolina and West Virginia. We venture
the assertion that the men of the lowest
class of New MeXicans are better qualified
for citizenship than the mOuntaineers OF
Hardin, county, Ky, or of West Virgin a,
II is possible that the percentage of Tilt
eracy may be little greater among the
New MeXiCans of the class referred to,
but they are more law abiding and docllr
people than the quarresome, fighting
hentuckians. If the ignored black pop.
ulation OF the southern states he taken
into consideration, The level Of the aver
aye citizen in South Carolina is much be-
low that of the average in New Mexico.
Much progress has been made in New
Mexico of late in the establishment Of
public schools. llhteracy is rapidly de-
creasng and the spirit and thou ht Of
the people is becoming more and more in
harmony with the spirit and thought OF
the majority of Americans. The territory
Is developing with respect to its material
interests, and its population is increasing.
1t ought to be admitted into the union,
and there is some prospect that the doors
will be opened to it by this congress-
