PLAIN AND TIMELY TALK.
To the Editor of the New Mexican.

To the Editor of the New Mexican,
SANTA FE, March 2.-Now that the leg
islature has adjourned and the terms OF
the supreme and district courts have ter
minated, it seems as if the people OF our
town might find time to attend TO their
own local affairs. Your laudable and per
sistent efforts to arouse attention to the
pressing necessity which exists Tor the
incorporation Of Santa Fe have been
equaled only by the Indifference with
which these efforts have been met. The
filthy and almost impossible condition OF
our streets during the past month would
be disgraceful in an Indian pueblo. Dur
ing that time many eastern tourists visited
our historic city and they must have lett it
fully impressed with the idea that we
were a very shifless, unpro2ressive peo-
ME. 1t is all very well to be
proud of our antiquities and our
incompatible climate, but we should re-
member that we deserve no credlt lor
either of them. Well, indeed, it is Tor us
that God has given us such saluorlous
climate; if it were otherwise disease would
have depopulated the place years ago.
Of course it will be objected that the I'M
provement of our streets will COS; con-
siderable sum of money. That is true;
but every dollar paid to ahoring men will
he spent in the town, and right here l
desire to say that | am opposed to work
inr convicts on the streets while there are
hundreds OF honest men standing idle
around the corners looking and looking
IN vain for employment Our store
keepers, even from a selfish standpoint,
oupht to bestir themselves IN this most
important matter, as they would be the
principal gamers by the expenditure OF
money among the people. There are no
politics in this. movement Every man,
woman and child in town is interested in
| it. If there is any opposition to lncor-
poration let some one voice that sentl-
ment and then we can reason 1t out.
Anything is better than the miserable
indifference which prevails among us. l
think the people of Albuquerque and Las
Vegas are deserving of great praise for
the efforts they are making to advertise
and improve their respective towns;
although | must say that the abuse
certain papers indulge in is any
thing but creditable to them.
The way to create a healthy public
sentiment which Will command respect
among our friends in the states is for us
all to unite like good citizens for the com
mon veal. Every man who, like I. B..
Catron, puts $4,000 or 100000 in mag
nifcent building. is a public benefactor,

WASHINGTON MATTERS.
TILE NEW LAND LAW.

WASHINGTON, March, 3.-The bill Tor
the repeal of the timber culture law and
amendatory of the land laws generally
which has just passed both houses OF
congress is virtually new land code, and
among important provisions OF the pm
are the repeal Of both timber
culture and pre-empt'on laws. In
repeating these laws the b IL
protects entries already made. In
the case of timber culture the bill
saves all filings and allows parties wi o
have complied with the law for four yea s
to complete their title by the payment OF
| 81 .25 per acre.
1t also modies the desert land laws
and makes them apply to Colorado,
which in the past have not otapplied to that
state.
1t also allows patents to be issued to
cities and towns on mineral lands, and
permits patents to subsequently issue for
mineral claims within the limits of the
patent for the city.
1t gives the right of way to bitches and
reservoirs on public lands and govern
ment reservations.
1t revokes restrictions limiting the
amount OF land which can be held by one
person from mineral lands.
1t is provided that in Colorado, North
and South Dakota and Wyoming, and
the gold and silver regions of Nevada and
Utah and Idaho it shall be sufficient
against any prosecution for trespass to
show that the timber cut was for agricul-
tural, mining, manufacturing or domestic
| purposes, and not transported out OF the
| ic RI
railroads. n

petitioner was the lawful husband. The
order was issued requiring the admins
traitor to appear May 2lst and answer to
the above.

Stock Exchange.

NEW YORK, May 15.-The stock market con-
tnued to decrease it's volume of business to-
day. while trading exhibited a narrowing of spec
ulation, the general list being comparatively
neglected. After the first hour, in which ma
terial gains were made, the general course of
prices was downward the combined result of
further heavy gold shipments, London selling
and disquieting financial complications at Lis
bon. In the last hour there was slight rally,
but it was still heavy at close to the lowest
prices. Losses reached Ia, but in most stocks
were confined to fractions. Delaware & Hud-
son is an exception, closing per cent. higher.
Governments steady.

Produce Exchange.

Business on change yesterday was brisk
and transactions numerous, but not SO
heavy as usual Both bulls and bears were
quiet and the market was comparatively
steady all around. Prices on staple articles
remained very firm; even strawberries did
not decline as was expected; slight ad-
vance over Thursday was noticeable. The
potato market is still depressed, as is
about steady. Green vegetables are NOV
ing rapidly and prices on the decline;
however, the demand seems equal to the
supply.
Yesterdays sales were one car of wheat,
twenty cases of eggs, $500 pounds of
green vegetables, ten cases of oranges and
live cases of lemons.
