The grip is at last reported TO be on the
wane. There is danger, however. that the un-
usually warm weather of the last few days may
lead some persons to expose themselves unduly'
and may so be the indirect cause Of extending the
malady which has produced so much distress for
many weeks. Too great caution cannot be eX-
ercisod in exchanging heavy Undertaking for
lighter. in laying aside overcOats, etc. The air
and sunshine have been summery, especially on
Sunday, but it is still April, and summer-real
surnmer-is some distance OFF. Sudden changes,
TOO. are likely to occur, as when the other night
the mercury dropped about thirty degrees In the
course of a few hours.

a WORD FOR THE SAN JUAN.

San Juan county is growing rapidly
1t has to-day in course OF construction
more miles of irrigation bitches than any
other county in the territory. 1t is
region of broad valleys and abundance Of
water; it has a salubrious climate; Its
fruit and forage farms are such as to ex'
cite favorable comment anywhere, and it
is. generally speaking, among the choicest
agricultural and grazing districts to be
found in the Rocky mountain region. Its
people are thrifty, prosperous and enter
prising. They claim even now to be able
to supply all New Mexico with sufficient
small grain, oats, hay and forage to shut
out the Kansas product entirely. AT the
present time San Juan county could ship
$4,000 tons of forage into central New
Mexico. All they want now is railroad.
They stand ready to produce facts and
figures showing liberal traffic to start
with, and are ready to grant concessions
to induce the building of road. We call
attention to these facts in hopes that they
may strike the eye of some man who Will
undertake to provide San Juan with this
long felt want. The business is there;
that whole section must in the very ma
ture of things grow steadily. We hope
the day is not far distant when that
region will DO provided with road lead
ing into central New Mexico.

II il estimated by experienced stock
men that 30 per cent of the cattle on the
ranges in southern New Mexico will die
before spring The long drought has
rendered both water and grass short in
that locality. Northern New Mexico
stockmen, on the other hand, have gone
into the winter with their herds and
flocks in unusually good condition, and
grass is reported abundant on the ranges.
In this connection We would add that, to
our certain knowledge, many stockmen
have during the past year refused prices
one-half of which would have let them
out with small profit on their stock.
Therefore we repeat, when fair price is
offered, let the cattle 60 to the northern
ranges. Fair profits, quick sales and
smaller herds ought to be the policy
hencefOrth.

Owing to a difference of opinion be-

likely that Miss Agnes Huntington's

smiles, are tools of trade" and hence

has suffered severe blow in the
at of Congressman Mills for the

md avow that he had no particular
'hoice, which was piece Of petty dema-
oguery repudiated by many of the ex-
residents staunchest supporters, it is a
act generally admitted that Mills has
stood as Cleveland's lieutenant during the
whole agitation of the tariff. On the
other hand Crisp, the successful candi.
date, is recognized as negative quantity as
regards the tariff question he believes in
tariff reform, but he falls for short of
being a free trader. He voted with his
party pending the passage OF the Mills
bill, but it was well understood at the
time that his convictions leaned him
more toward the Randall wing of Demo
cracy than toward the other extreme. In
this view of the case Mills defeat is &C.
casion for much enthusiasm among Re-
rublicans as well as among certain factions
of the Democratic party, for it shows
break in Democratic ranks on the tariff
question, and is victory for tariff reform
which shows public sentiment, even in
tie Democratic party itself, as against free
trade, practically, as advocated by Cleve-
land and Mills-and Republicans are the
chief antagonists of this policy. In a
word, it shows public sentiment leaning
very decidedly toward the Republican
party. And the free coinage of silver
rather crops out in the contest also.
Mills is an out-and-out follower of Cleve-
land as against silver; Crisp isn't and

A Timely Question Raisad.

While we are all working for the ad-
vancement and upbuilding of New Mex
leo We would all strictly hear in mind that
the best and most effective method of
reaching the desired end would be by
working for the adoption and enforce
ment of a system of law which will
guarantee investors the same protection
and advantages their investments enjoy
elsewhere. For instance, it is folly for
the territory to beckon banking capital
with one hand, at the same time holding
in the other an iron clad usury law and
an Anticipated redemption law. New
countries are built to great extent on
borrowed capital, and to start its inflow

tons operating elsewhere. San Juan In

A number of passengers about to cross

amusing scene the other day, says the
New York Herald.
A gentleman who had just purchased a

ticket-seller's window let fall from his
hand quantity of coins-cents, nickels,
and dimes. They scattered in all direc-
tons over the muddy pavement.
A little urchin of newsboy from whom
the gentleman had bought a paper for
which he had not yet paid, went to the
rescue of the truant coins. At almost the
same moment another little fellow. clad
in the familiar costume of little Lord
Fauntleroy-leather leggings, gloves, long
hair, and all-hove in sight. He was ac-

evidently his mother.

muddy pavement the coin, which he
promptly pocketed.
