young people, both boys and girls,
are very apt to get the idea that on
moral questions they are being hood

to stuff them up with moral notions
that are not based on facts, and their
skepticism is apt to lead them into ex-
periments on their own account So
I want to take up this question of the

acute perceptions as to what is or is
not good; we take anything that is
sufficiently advertised.

of notoriety; anything that with less

When in any profession you see non

CLEAR THE TRACK.

Judge O'Brien has reappOinted W. H.
Bunker to the position of clerk of the dis
trict court, and w. +. Gortner stenog-
rapher. Now, who says Republicans are
ungrateful springer Stockman.
The above is not fact as far ar regards
Mr.. Bunker, and We are of the opinion
that new clerk will soon be appointed
AS far as Mr.. Gortner's appointment is
concerned, if a competent stenographer
can be found, Mr.. Gortner's services
ought to be dispensed with. The New
MEXICAN does not say this because Mr..
GortDer Is Democrat, but because it is
universally charged and believed that
corrupt practices obtained in the admin
istration of the 4th judicial district court,
and for the matter in the LIST judicial dis
trict court, under the Democratic admin
istration, and that it would be better for
all concerned and the good name and fair
tame OF our courts. as at present cOnsti-
tuted, if none OF the officials who served
during the Democratic administration
were kept in office. The people regard
them with suspicion, to say the least.
Legislative investigations and reports
of the New Mexico Bar association point
very clearly to the fact that the charges
openly and strenuously made for years,
that the Democratic administration of the
courts was a corrupt and dishonest one,
in fact very disgraceful one, are true.
We are informed, that during the SEES
sion OF the 2Sth Legislative assembly and
when the courts were being investigated,
Elk Chief Justice Long begged Mr.. Gort.
ner not to appear before the legislative
committee and not to give
evidence. If there was nothing wrong,
why could not Mr.. Gortner have given
evidence before said committee, as any
good citizen should be anxious to do and
as he should have done?

OF this territory to very grave and great

THE ENABLING ACT.

/ Through the courtesy OF Delegate An
tonic Joseph a copy OF the bill prepared
by Hon. w. c. Hazledine and introduced
by Hon. C. S. Baker, OF New York, for
the admission of this territory rs a state
| has been received.
The bill provides that the constitution
framed last September is accepted, ratified
and approved; that an election for the
adoption of the same and for the election
of state officers shall be held on the 10th
day of September next; the election for
representative in congress and MEM
bers OF the legislature shall take place at
the same time; the election returning
board shall consist of the governor, the
secretary and the president OF the con-
stitutional convention; should the con-
stitution carry by majority of all votes
cast, the secretary shall certify such fact
to the president of the United States,
who is then to issue his proclamation ad-
hitting the territory.
All officers now holding office, whether
by federal or territorial authority, are to
continue to hold such Offices till their sue
cessors are duly appointed or elected and
qualified. The state shall be entitled to
one representative in congress for the
present. Section 10 and SO in all town
ships are granted the new state in aid Of
its public schools, and in townships where
such sections have already been disposed
Of by the United States other lands equiv
alent in amount to said sections are to be
selected.
Fifty sections OF lands are granted for
the purpose of erecting public buildings
at the capital of the state. Ninety thous-
and acres OF land are granted in support
of the agricultural collegs. Five per cent
of the moneys received from the sale Of
public lands is given toward the support
OF the public schools of the state. Two
townships are set apart for the support OF
| the university OF the new state. For the
establishment of permanent water reser-
voirs 10000 acres OF land are granted !;
! for the establishment of all insane asylum
so, 900 acres; for the establishment of a
| deaf and dumb asylum $4,000 acres, and
| for the establishment OF reform school
also $4,000 acres.
A U. 5. district court is established for
the new state; the Judge of said court is
to have salary Of $500 per year, and
| four terms of the court are to be held an
nually at the capital. The district OF New
Mexico is attached to the Sth judicial cir
cult OF the United States.
No sectarian teaching of any kind is to
be allowed in any Of the educational insti-
tntinns or schools of the state endowed
in any shape by the United States.
The bill is complete, and while the date
set for the election, September 10 next,
is rather early, still, if congress passes
the bill, and it is to be hoped that such
will be the case, with proper work there
is no reason why the election can not
take place upon that date.

THE TIMES Is CORRECT.

The Denver Times, in commenting
upon the affairs of this territory in the
matter of the late Democratic alleged re,
form administration says:
MIR. Cleveland seemed to make it a
rule of his administration to unload on
the far western states and territories
There are always in every party, espe-
cially the Democratic, certain classes of
men that have to be provided for. There
are the political workers who are not over
scrupulous as to methods, and who often
secure majorities in unexpected places.
These persons are never admired by their
employers, but they can't be snubbed or
ignored. They may be despised, but
their demands must be respected. Then
there are pets and servitors of the great
political leaders. How to dispose of these
classes is often worrying question,
Mr.. Cleveland solved it in large part by
sending the troublesome persons out 10

take him at his word and unite together
against the more recent arrivals in New

IT has been suggested by men compe-
tent to judge that farming can be carried
on successfully in certain portions Of New
Mexico without the aid of irrigation In
the valleys along the base OF some Of the
mountain ranges showers are frequent
during the whole OF the farming season.
The colony of Mennontes recently located
in eastern Santa Fe county will in a
measure solve the problem, as it is pro-
posed by them to farm this year without
the aid of irrigation. twill be interesting
to watch the result of the experiment.
