IRRIGATION AND SILVER.

The western commercial congress holds
its third session at Omaha this month.
1t will be remembered that at Its session
in Denver last spring, in which New Mex
leo delegates took prominent part, there
was decided fight over the question Of
demanding of congress the free coinage OF
silver and it was also only by scratch
that resolutions were adopted demand
ing that the national government donate
the arid lands to the states and territories
provided they develop water to irrigate
and reclaim thessame. These are two vital
questions for New Mexico as we'll as for the
broad. west. We believe the sentiment
OF the west is overwhelmingly in favor
of both propositions, but the trouble is that
in such gatherings, authorized to speak for
the masses, there always creeps in set Of
demagogues and political trimmers who
lack great deal of being qualified to do
justice to the masses. For this reason many
of the western states and territories were
not little chagrined over the action Of
their delegates in the Denver meeting.
Not SO, however, with New Mexico; our
delegation was right first, last and all the
time, and so conducted itself as to make
its influence felt in that gathering Of
western men. We hope that quite as
much interest will be displayed by New
Mexicans in the Omaha meeting. 1t is
necessary that the friends of these two
momentous questions be on hand in full
force. What with the work on the arid
lands question inaugnrated at the Denver
meeting and supplemented at the recent
Salt Lake irrigation convention and the
utterances or silver which the November
and December conventions at Denver and
Ell Paso will send forth, the sentiment OF
the west will be pretty well expressed, if
only the Omaha congress is kept out OF
the hands of tricksters. New Mexico
must send strong delegation.

A GREAT SOUTHERN STATE.

Thirteen negroes were shot and killed
a few days ago by mob in the sovereign
state of Arkansas without trial and with
out justice; the principal crime of which
they were accused was that they wanted
80 cents per hundred pounds for picking
cotton in place of SO cents. Great coun-
try, Arkansas is; not very law abiding
one to be sure, but very great and fine
country to stay away from evidently;
law abiding and law fearing citizens, who
do not believe in assassination, mob law
and murder, seem to have no business in
the sovereign state of Arkansas, where a
man like the Democratic state treasurer,
Col. Woodruff, late Of the confederate
army, can not be indicted for stealing
$3.50, 900 from the state treasury, but
where men, human beings, are shot down

The Meanest Trick Yet.

The meanest trick Major Mckinley has
done was to run off to Iowa to make a
speech while Mills and Campbell were
stumping his own state against him. His
exhibition OF contempt for those Demo-
cratic warehouses is cruel.-Mlnneapolis

THE people of New Mexico demand a
just and fair control of the express COM
panies in New Mexico and a stoppage OF

law is enforced in letter and spirit will do
we'll to stand from under. A pointer,
gentlemen, which you will do very well
to heed.

Republicans Waking Up.

The truth is that the reverse of last
year came as surprise and shock to
nine out Of ten Republicans. 1t awakened
the most inactive of them from their
lethargy, and filled the active and loyal
with profound determination to redeem
the state.-Boston journal.

If any one should ask you, just make a
note of it that the treasury officials have
had no difficulty in paying off all of the 4
per cents whose holders did not wish to
extend them at 2 per cent. The Demo-

over the condition of the treasury are in
vited to make themselves familiar with
the facts. Kansas City Journal

The HWar Tariff Lie.

When people who are old enough to

under the Mckinley law So per cent come
