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 $3.50, 900 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 a 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 $40, 900; this means that under
the Democratic administration the people
of New Mexico we're systematically and
constantly robbed by corrupt Judges and
dishonest court officials.

MERCHANTS AND HOME PATRONAGE.

Encouraging home patronage ought to
be the aim of the merchants in New Mex
leo. In every town there is large class
of people who send to eastern trade CEN
tiers for everything they require. On the
other hand there are those who make a
sacrifice to carry out a most commenda
able determination to patronize home in
stitutions, even though in doing so they
have to pay more money for an article
than their neighbor who sends east for it.
Generally speaking, the merchant him
self is largely responsible for the sending
Of such orders away from home. In the
first place the merchants Of New Mexico
are away behind the times as advertisers j.;
they do not know how to advertise their
effects in that attractive, enticing style
that allures their patrons away from them
to Denver, Kansas City, Chicago and
Philadelphia; and in the second place they
demand, in many cases, profit one-kalf Of
which would be satisfactory to the eastern
dealer. AS a rule, people know pretty
well the value of what they buy they
know when the merchant is making q
profit of from SO to 100 per cent; they
know, too, that he is under no unusual
expense to handle his goods, employing
only cheap labor and scarcely ever adj
vertising to any extent, and thus they
can easily convince themselves that to
send abroad for their purchases is sim
pie matter of self protection.
And the merchant, also, sends away
when he has need of articles for personal
use not carried in his own stock. All his
job printing comes from some Cheap John
eastern firm.
In this way the people combine to
destroy the very principle OF home pa
tronage, and New Mexico towns long
since began to feel the effects OF the
same; the money thus sent away is an
actual loss to the community, it never
comes back, and it positively forbids any
thing like home enterprise. We need to
reform our methods here; will the mer-
chants take the lead? They have an
intelligent people to appeal to for CO.
operation and they will get it. Let them

THE Republican party of New Mexico
means to stand by the law and to main
tain order. The Democratic bosses and
leaders, for wicked and selfish and corrupt
ends, are wrongly advising, are in
strumental in organizing the White Caps,
and counsel and advise the White Cap
outrages. If the good people would have
security for life and property and would
see the laws upon the statute book prop
erly and honestly executed, let them elect
Republican eeapty officials, Republican
members of the legislature and a Repub-
election.

j. w. WHTLATCH, pauper miner and
bonanza king by turns, well known
throughout the Rockies from Mexico to
the British possessions, shuftied off this
mortal coil in cheap lodging house at
San Francisco few days ago. The Ari-
IONA Republican justly says of him !:
"There wasn't mean trick in Jim Whit
latchs body. He was the personifcation
of generosity. When he was ION velvet"
no man whom he knew or believed in
needed money. Thousands of old-timers
who have knocked about the hills will
feel personal loss in his death. He leaves

to sell one of the valuable and extensive

of the Democratic central committee, is
the agent for such sale. What great
anti-land grant men these two are; why,
it is simply astonishing; will the title
bear investigation, is the question that
now arises Are there certain deeds, sup
posed to have been given by certain peo-
pie for road purposes across certain lands
contained within one of the grants in
question, connected with this case?

DURING three and halt years OF the
Ross Doodle administration OF the terri
toria penitentiary there was received
from the labor of convicts and the feeding
OF United States prisoners the sum OF
$1,000. During the first, twelve months
of the present Republican administration
from March 4 1889, to March 4 1890,
(there being about the same number OF
prisoners in the institution year per year,
from 1885 to 1890 there was received the
amount of SO 900, from the same source.
Facts are 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.

DU RING the Democratic administration
from 1885 to 1889, the expenses of the
territorial prison amounted to $52 900 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.

to that price as matter of justice and

AN interesting test is to be made this
week in the San Luis valley which will
serve to attract attention to the agricul-
tural possibilities of the Rio Grands val
ley and to the advantages of irrigation in
the production OF grain. On the farm Of
Hon. Melvin Edwards, near Alamosa, q
committee of farmers is to watch the har-
vesting and threshing of an exact acre Of
oats with view of ascertaining just what
the northern Rio Grande region can do
in the way Of paralyzing the irrigation
haters of the east with facts on farming.
The variety of oats is the Clydesdale, and
there is much speculation as to what the
yield will prove to be. Guesses on this
vary, none being less than 100 bushels for
the acre, while some place it at sixty to
eighty more than this figure.
