Breaking jail With . Pardon :
Portland Oregonian.

The cause OF criminal justice is frightfuIly
abused in two ways in Oregon ana Washington.
In the first place it is exceedingly difficult to a.
cure conviction for murder, except in the case
OF Chinaman or an utterly friendless white
pauper: and, secondly, it is exceedingly dif6cult
to hang convict or keep him in prison until
his legal term has expired, because our execu-

CONGRESS- AND IRRIGATION.

Respecting the arid lands problem,
congress is again on the right track. 1t
has taken a long time to bring it about,
owing largely to the confusion caused in
the minds of congressman not familiar
with the subject of irrigation by the Willy
Powell, he of geological survey notoriety,
but now that this individual has been
shelved and sober second thought is al
lowed to govern, it looks very much as if
congress will convey the public lands to
the western states and territories upon
the condition that these states and terri
tories establish water enterprises for their
reclamation. We note with pleasure
that this plan has been favorably recon-
mended to the house of representatives
by the committee. This is the plan that
we have long urged upon congress to
adopt. In fact two journals only in the
central west have been pronounced in ad-
vocacy OF this policy, namely the Denver
Republican and the New MEXICAN. IL is
dictated by common sense. If congress
carries out the suggestions OF the irrigation
committee in this respect the western
states and territories will take long
stride forward in matters OF water develop
ment during the coming few years.

and will continue so to do for the coming

and will continue so to do for the coming
two years with credit to himself and ben
eft to the people and the territory he is a
strong and successful prosecuting officer
and the right man for the place. The gov.
ernor did the proper thing in appointing
him and the people of Dona Ana county
will be satisfied with the appointment.
Mr.. w. S. Williams is a new man for
official position, psratively speaking;
he came to New Mexico in 1888, was then
admitted to the bar in Dona Ana
county and settled in Socorro county
in 1888. He was admitted
the bar first in Iowa thirty years ago and
has practiced his profession ever since in
Iowa, Nebraska, Arizona and New Next
CO. He is good lawyer, Woodworking,
energetic, honest and full of vim and grit.
The New MEXICAN believes, that his ap-
pointment will prove good and salts
factory one, and that he will make good
record as an official.
Gov. Prince has acted wisely and well
in making these three appointments and
the future In the New MExICAN's opinion
will so demonstrate.

THREE NEW DISTRICT ATTORNEYS.


The governor on yesterday nominated
the following to be district attorneys: For
the counties Of Lincoln, Chaves and Ed
dy, W. A. Hawkins, of Eddy county ;
for the county of Dona Ana, E. @. Wade,
of Dons Ana county; for the county of
socorro, W. s. Williams, Of socoiro
county.
The New MEXICAN believes the people
Of the several districts will be well
pleased with the appointments, and that
the council will certainly confirm them,
if such has not been done already.
Mr.. Hawkins is we'll known and able
lawyer; a man Of unblsmished reputs-
ton and fine educational attainme nts /;
the people Of his district, irrespective Of
party, desired his appointment and 1t has
been made; the New MEXICAN predicts
for him long, useful and prominent
career.as public man in New Mexico. He
will prove first-clsss Official.
Hon. E. G. Wade, Of Dons Ana county /;
be has served the people we'll, ably, sue
cessfully and honestly in the position Of
district attorney for several years already

A NECESSARY CORRECTION.


"For some inexplicable reason the
Santa Fe New MEXICAN seems interested
in the division OF Colfax county. The
voters and taxpayers Of this county only
ask fair and decent treatment and the
privilege of deciding for themselves ques-
tons pertaining to the welfare Of the
county. 1t is in bad taste for the legisla-
ture or territorial newspaper to attempt
to Cypress our people without regard to
existing conditions, or consideration for
their wishes. Ration Range.
The New MEXICAN never defends it's
course, for the simple reason that it needs
no defense, being always for the best In
terests Of the people But our esteemed
contemporary must be corrected, not that
1t makes any difference to the New MEX
IcAN, but simply as matter Of history.
The New MEXICAN has not contained
line that favors the creation Of single
new county, except the county of Guada-
lupe. However, the New MEXICAN be-
lieves that whenever the people of any
particular section are sufficiently numer.
GUS and wealthy to fully sustain new
county government and desire such one,
they ought to have it; they are the per-
sons interested and are to pay for the
music. This statement is not made to
criticise the course Of the Range. That
paper can do what it plesses and say what
it pleases, but as matter of fact, the New
MEXICAN has not in any manner advo-
Gated the creation Of new county out of
parts Of Colfax, Mora and San Miguel.
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1891-02-17

IT is high time that the citizens and
tax payers of Santa Fe were waking up.
A little more respect and obedience for
and to the law incorporation, a stronger
public sentiment in favor of law and
order, and an honest county and city gov.
eminent are absolutely necessary for the
future advancement and prosperity Of
Santa Fe. Take heed while there is yet
time.

there are half a dozen or more towns
that should take advantage of the new
law. Senator Richardson, of Roswell, Is
