Sweeney cottage and buried IN a
neighboring lot were found over
$40 worth OF goods belonging y

had been in the habit of boarding
freight cars near Hamline and while
passing near their home they would
throw out several boxes of whatever
they happened to contain. This was al
ways done at night and the plumber re-
moved to hiding-place at once.

Let us discuss this table. During the
years 1878 and 1879 the counties bore the
court expenses, and there are no available
data wherefrom to compute them.
The largest expenses of the courts, UNI
der any Republican administration were
during 1884, when for twelve months they
amounted to $S2 ,S92,77.
The Democratic governor, judges, clerks
and court officials appeared upon the
scene in 1885, and then the heyday Of
corruption and the carnival of robbing the
people commenced.
For arguments sake we will deduct the
sum of $4,000 for court expenses during
the first six months of 1885; this is more
than the records show, but We will make
it that sum in order to have it as fair as
possible.
Therefore, from July l, 1885, to March
A. 1889, v bile the Democratic governor,
Judge, and court officials had full sway,
Cad, and how they made the most of it,
during three years and eight months the
court expenses amounted TO the enorm-
Gus sum of 1922 $50, or at the rate OF
$ll ,S72 per month or Sal AGA per year
On March 4, 1889, the new finance law
took effect; it WAS passed by q legislature,
consisting of 81 Republicans and Dem
ocrats; the entire expenses during the
year from March 4, 1889, to March 4,
1890, for the maintenance of the courts
were $45 AIS; to this We will add $4,000
more for clerks salaries (thls in addition TO
So, 900 received at the clerks Offices and
about $4,000 for deficiency in witness
fees, etc. ; we will make these amounts a
total Of SIS 900, which gives $50, 900 as the
entire expense at very liberal calcula-
ton.
During 1872, 1878, 1874, 1875, 1876,
part of 1877, 1880, 1881, 1882, 1883, 1884,
part of 1885, and from March 4, 'S9, to
March 4, 80, for twelve years under a
Republican administration the entire
court expenses of New Mexico amounted
to $600,322, while for three years and
eight months the Democratic judges,
clerks and court officials ran the expenses
up to 1922 900
There has not been a single twelve
months wherein the court expenses UNI
der the Democratic administration were
not double what they were during the
past year, the first under the present Re-
publican administration.
Here is the record of the two parties in
New Mexico for sixteen years past, pre-
scented in cold type and official figures.
The people can Judge for themselves.

the United States to help her carry out
her mission in improving the condition Of
her unfortunate sisters. The object in
view is the establishment of an insttu-

girls can be trained by Christian women
to enable them to become good, faithful
servants. Thus it is that the United
States is regarded as shining light,
leader in morals, and appealed to for aid

An earnest appeal has been issued by

The entire court expenses for the year
ending March 4, 1890, the first under the
new Republican administration, includ-
ing salaries of clerks of courts and de-
ficiencies in pay OF witnesses were, $780,
600, that is, $45, 900 actually expended,
5000 for clerks salaries over receipts OF
clerks Offices and deficiencies, etc,
amounting to at very liberal estimate
about $4,000. During the three years
and eight months of the reign OF a Demo
cratic governor. Democratic judges, Dem
ocratic clerks and Democratic attorneys
the average expenses were $4,000 per
year. Legislation enacted by strongly
Republican legislature and honest men i'll
Office brought about the result for the
wear 1889. During the 9th legislative as
sembly the bill that became law later
and that brought about this beneficial re-
suit was passed in the council, but killed

Vaccinations and bargains between the
Democratic governor, E. G. Ross, the
Democrstic members of the house and
couple Of corrupt and traitorous Republi-
cans. Had the bill passed in February,
1857. instead of in February, 1889, the
tax payers of this territory would have
saved the very handsome sum OF $780,
600. These are facts, and ample proof is
n hand to substantiate them; the more
thew arc discussed the clearer they be-
come, and the more they rebound to the
e)osy of the Republicans of Now Msxico.

New Mexico beats the record when it
comes to corporations. Within the past
six months there have been incorporated
. large number Of companies representing
stock to the amount of several millions
dollars. 1t may be true that some
Of these companies are frauds, got
ten up by devising sharpers to fleece
the unsuspecting public, but the majority
Of them are legitimate concerns, backed
by responsible men who are cognizant of
the fact that New Mexico's wonderful re-
sources are not surpassed by any section
In the union, and that, to use Col. Sellers
expression, "theres millions in it."

THINK WELL OF IT.

The good and faithful work now being
done to advance the material interests OF
New Mexico by the bureau of mmlgra-
ton ought to be met by the heartiest CO.
operation on the part of the people. 1t
is admitted that nothing would so quickly
and so surely bring prosperity at this
time as the adjustment of land grant
titles. At a recent meeting of the bureau
OF immigration resolution vas adopted
calling upon the governor to designate
and properly authorize representative
set OF citizens to proceed to Washington
and there use every honorable endeavor
to impress upon congressman the abso-
lutte necessity of granting New Mexico re-
lief in the premises. In compliance with
the idea set forth in this resolution, Gov.
Prince is about sending out letters to "a
large number of prominent and intiuen-
tial citizens with q view to ascertainlng
who among our people will join the bureau
of immigration in the vital work. The
New MEXICAN believes that efOrtsproperly
directed at this time can not fail to result
in the establishment through COMPRESSION
al action of land court for ad Justment OF
all conflicting titles here, and it would
therefore admonish citizens who receive
the titles above referred to to weigh well
the subject before they decline to become
members Of delegation that is surely
going to Washington for this purpose.
Here is an instance where the state calls
upon its people for relief, and private
pleasure or personal inconvenience should
not be allow ed to stand in the way of a
hearty response.
Mr.. Frank Springer, upon returning
from Washington recently, made the
timely observation that New Mexico need
expect nothing at the hands of congress
unless she had men ever upon the ground
persistently pushing her claims. In this
he is unquestonably correct. He thinks,
however, after personal interviews with
many of the congressman, that the time
is most suspicious for legislation on the
land titles question, provided citizens Of
New Mexico show a united front and 90
there and work for it. Therefore let
strong delegation 90 on there at an early
day. Commissioned by the governor as
the representatives of the bureau of i'm.
migration such delegation would secure
official recognition from the outset and
have prestige that would give it's utter.
ances weight in the congressional COM
mittee rooms.
