NIr. Blaine to Decline.

New YORK, Sept. 26.-The Mail and
Express says:
"Mr. James G. Blaine will, soon after
the first of the new year, notify his friends
and admirers, who are now urging his
nomination for the presidency, that under
no circumstances could he accept such an
honor, and that he is for the renomina-
ton and reelection of Benjamin Harri-
son.
"This information is given the Mail
and Express OIL the authority of a man
whose name is national and whose posi-
ton as friend OF Mr.. Harrison and Mr..
Blaine is uuquestioned. He is the man
who has had charge of the northwest for
the president, and who has the fullest
confidence of both the interested parties.
"Mr. Blaine expects to return to Wash
ington in October, and his health has SO
much improved that he will get to work
at once. This is the first positive state
ment that in January he will announce in
no uncertain terms that he can't be a
candidate.

A NEW ERA.
An Official Question and Answer Of
Moment to Collectors Of Public
Funds in New Mexico.
The Auditor and Solicitor General Inaug-
urate New Departure-Officiai
Circular.

The territorial auditor Of public accounts
and the solicitor general have lnaugurated
a decidedly new departure respecting the
collection of public funds. The following
in this connection is self explanatory:
Hon. Demetrio Perez, Auditor of Pablic Ac-
counts
My DEAR SIR: Your favor relative to
the return of license money paid for H.
cense, beyond the first Monday in May
last, and inquiring whether you had au-
thority to refund any portion of such
money, has had my attention, and in re-
ply would say that the license law to
which you refer provides in Section 10,
page 20, laws OF '9l, for the re-funding by
the county, or city authorities OF such por
ton of the license tax as might be due on
the first Monday of May for running IL
censes beyond that period, but there is
no provision for the territory to refund
the same, nor any fund out of which it
could be paid. The old law, Section 2901
g. L. under which licenses were imposed, +,
provided that one-half ,of such licenses
should be for territorial purposes, and it
would be only just that this portion
should be refunded, as well as the por-
ton which went to the county, but l see
no way in which it can be done, and
think you should report the fact to the
next legislature, together with the amount
so claimed, for its action at its next ses-
sion. Very respectfully,
EDWARD L. BARTLETT,
Solicitor General of New Mexico.
,,,,Ir La1
and in justice to the collectors who have
settled promptly with the territory, for
you to address letter to the delinquents,
who have failed to settle as required by
law, stating the fact to them, and that un-
less they settle promptly, by say the 18th
of August, you will be compelled under
the law and your oath Of office to report
the fact to the solicitor general, where
upon he will have to bring suit to compel
settlement. This course is right and
proper and think might have good ef-
feet in bringing these gentlemen to time
Very truly yours, S.. q.
In accordance with the above the aud
itor has prepared under date of September
25 circular-letter to delinquent collectors
in which he says:
"rhe law makes it my duty to see that
the officers collecting the territorial rev.
enues make the returns and pay the
moneys in their hands to the territorial
treasurer on or before the 10th day of
each month, as required by section 1861,
Compiled Laws.
"Your attention is called to compli-
ance with the requirements of the law in
this respect, otherwise, a noncompliance
with this duty will compel me to report
this fact to the solicitor general to proceed
against defaulting collectors according to
law"

BOUND TO Be A STATE.
New Mexico Will Again Knock For Ad-
mission To the Union--Judge w. c.
Hazledine's Views.

Chicago Evening Post: "There is no
doubt that New Mexico will make another
appeal to the next congress for the eleva-
ton to statehood" said Judge William G.
Hazledine, Of Albuquerque, at the Leland
hotel. "We think that our next requisi-
ton for admission to the union will be
granted. New Mexico is increasing rapid
ly in wealth and population. Immigra-
ton has been stimulated by the establish
ment of the new land court by which the
titles to real estate can be definitely set
tied Since the acquisition of the terri
tory by the United States the question of
land titles has been uncertain. This fact
has kept out millions of eastern capital
which would otherwise have been invest
ed in New Mexico could the investors be
sure that their titles to land purchases
could not be attacked. The problem of
irrigation is being solved in New Mexico.
"We nees but to take care OF the water
we get in the wet season and use it in the
dry season.. There are plenty OF natural
dams or reservoirs where the rainfall can
be kept. At the Walnut creek flood the
water carried fatiron on the top of
wave and deposited it on a bluff 100 feet
above the valley. That shows the force
of the natural flood. This can be utilized.
We have more productive country than
is generally known. AT our recent fair l
saw forty five varieties of grapes which
bad been raised on plot of ground
twenty-five feet wide by fifty feet long.
"The great inundatiOn around SaltOn
seems to be permanent. 1t has changed
the character of the climate in southern
California. There have been many rain
storms there this summer, something
never before known"

Archbishop Kendrick.

Sr. LOUIS, Sept. 25.-The committee
which has charge of the appropriations
for the celebration of the approaching
Jubilee of of-Archbishop Hendricks ordina.
tion as a priest, is making considerable
progress. On Tuesday next the prelimin-
ary rehearsals for the performance of
Bruckler's Te Deum by the jubilee chorus,
will be commenced in halls that lave
been secured in the four sections of the
city. 1t is expected that the chorus will
fully 1000 strong. Meanwhile, Robert
Cauer, the sculptor, is busily engaged
upon the bust of the archbishop which is
to be presented during the jubilee cele-
bration. The plaster cast is a speaking
likeness, the face being almost lifelike,
while the benign expression which is so
prominent feature of the archbislop's
countenance, is perfectly delineated.

THE NEW BISHOP.
The Ceremonies Attending Bis COnsecra-
tiOn-Archbishop SalpOinte and Bis
Worthy Coadjutor,

Rev. DR.. Chapelle, so long at the head
of st. Mathews church, Washington
city, will be consecrated coadjutor arch
bishop of Santa Fe on November 1. The
ceremonies will be of a very imposing
nature and will take place at the grand
new cathedral in Baltimore. Cardinal
Gibbons will preside and will be assisted
by Archbishop Kane, of the Catholic
university at Washington, and his grace,
Archbishop J. B. Salpointe, of the city of
the Holy Faith, besides many other dis
tinguished members OF the clergy. As
this important event occurs on the day
following the centenary celebration OF
the founding of st. Mary's university, at
Baltimore, the oldest Catholic institution
of the kind in America, very large gath
ing of representative Catholics will be in
attendance. 1t is likely also that the
blessing of the new cathedral will take
place on the same day.
The Very Rev. DR.. Chapelle is a man
of broad views and superior intellectual
ability, whose widespread influence
throughout the east is expected to have a
very beneficial effect upon the progressive
welfare of the church in New Mexico.
The fact that 80 distinguished member
of the clergy should have been selected
for this Jurisdiction SHOWS it's growing i'm
portance. And be it said, in this connec-
ton, that to Archbishop Salpointe him
self is the credit due for bringing DR..
Chapelle among US. More than fourteen
months ago bis grace, the archbishop,
recommended and urged the appointment
of DR.. Chapelle, feeling that his own age

This county, recently partitioned out OF
Lincoln, covers the middle Pecos valley,
extending westward out upon the foot.
hills OF the Sierra Blanca. Lying entire
ly in the Pecos drainage basin, the coun-
ty receives in summer eight to twelve
inches of rain and lies tributary to a
region of fourteen-inch precipitation in
Lincoln county. In winter its rainfall
amounts to between two and four inches.
Its evaporation is somewhat more than
eighty inches.
The eastern half is covered by the
Staked Plains, but in the west there is
rich agricultural promise, and the Pecos
and its tributaries furnish more water
than perhaps any other stream in the
territory. The land is level mesa of the
utmost fertility and covered with a
volunteer growth of gramma grass.
Springs abound and lakes are many, and
all these have been utilized to supply
water through gravity bitches to many
farms. Two extensive irrigation systems
are now in operation in the county on
the valley lands near Roswell. One is
that conducted by the First New Mexico
Reservoir & Irrigation company, which
impounds the flood waters of the White
and Ell Captain mountains and conducts
the water thus stored eighteen miles to
serve lands which need but water to
blossom into unexampled fertility. The
Pecos Irrigation & Investment company
has built dam across the Rio Hondo
and second on the South Spring river,
from which runs mail canal Of thirty
five miles length to serve lands as far
down as point fifteen miles below the
Rio Felix.

low that the democrats necessarily
start out at disadvantage. The con-
trary Is true. There has not been an
instance since 1874 in which they en-
tered a national campaign without a
clear majority in the beginning. That
majority is greater to-day than ever
before. It needs only to be organized
and enlightened, so that it may stand
in its own defense against the assaults
of monopoly power and political cor
ruption. What is wanted is discussion
relentless and continuous discussion
of the fundamental principles of re
publican institutions, of the monopoly
tax system, of the threatened invasion
of the freedom of elections. of the
prodigious extravagances of the billion
dollar congress, of the schemes of sub
sidy and bounty, and of the thousand
and one assaults upon the pockets OF
the people by the party in power. Sec
ond only to the press for this work Of
incessant discussion is the democratic
society, with its regular meetings in
every political subdivision of the coun-
try. One dollar spent now in stimulat-
