Alliance President Polk plan of cap
turing the national congress is a good one.
The state and county Offices are of little
value to the Alliance, except to those
members who want to enjoy them. All
of the alleged reforms that the Alliance
calls for can be had only by national legis-
lation, and in order to get that legislation
an Alliance majority in congress must be
elected, also an Alliance president who
will not defeat such legislation by veto
Yes, the plan is good one. The plan of
the mice to bell the cats was good one,
too. The only thing about it that offered
any trouble was getting the bells on the
cats. Fort Worth Gazette.

THE campaign managers OF the Peo-

every member of that party in their state

campaign purposes and pay this cent or

party is all right. A cent per head is not
quite as high as the assessment might

THE Ration Reporter thinks that a
united effort will be made soon to procure
an enabling act for New Mexico; proba-

New Mexico Fruit.


1t is most gratifying to note that New
Mexico's residents are paying such gen.
eral attention to farming and fruit grow
ing. An admirable start has been made
in this direction during the past few
years, and the success which has stimu-
lated the industry and made it popular
this year will continue to have its good
effects 10 the future. With soil and
climate that makes farming a veritable
pleasure with one Of the best watered
sections OF the union with cheap labor,
and an ever ready market demanding
the best of the earth's products and
ever ready to pay the highest price so
long as it is the best, New Mexico has in
nothing brighter future than in the
farming industry, in general, while as a
fruit growing region we acknowledge no
rival. Our fruits are better favored, ale
sent to market in better condition, and
command to day from to 20 per cent
more than do the same class of
fruits grown in California. If the doubt
ing Thomas gets hold of this statement
let him investigate the fact for himself
