SLAVERY is as common in the territory of
New Mexico at the present time as it was in the
southern states before the war, the only differ
ence being that in New Mexico the slaves are
white, " said Maj. Fred Berry, the territorial
delegate from Now Mexico to the militia meet
ing at Chicago New Mexico is under the an
solute rule Of the old Mexican dons whose rela-
ton to society is precisely the same as that of
the barons in English feudal times Each of
these dons has hundreds, and in many
instances thousands, Of retainers These re-
tanners are amenable to no law whatever, Ok
cept that of tHer masters. They are marched
to the polls by their owners. and il they do not
vote ptecisely as their masters wish them to
vote they MAJ look not only for a cessation OF
OF the donS' favor in their regard but actual
criminal punishment upon some trumped.up
charge. TWAS this absolute possession Of their
voters that enabled the dons to defeat the ad-
| project came before the people last year. The
dons know that under state laws they cannot
maintain their slavery system, and they de-
termlned TO fight statehood with all their
might, Their power is at present indsputa-

q mand majority of the votes before the lapse
OF d decade. 80 strong hold have the Mexi-
cans upon the courts of New Mexico that 1t is
very diffcult for Americans 70 obtain Justice.
For the slightest mirdemeanor an American is
given the severest punishment, while Mexicans
who commit the most heinous offenses are per-
mtted to go scot-free. OF six murders COM
mtted in Albuquerque by Mexicans during the
past few years not one OF the perpetrators
has been punished, and one Of them is not

officer. 1t all comes from the peonage system.
When the Americans by means OF increased
immigration, get together a sufficient majority
OF votes New Mexico will be admitted TO the
union as state, the poems or slaves will be lib
Grated and the Americans will be able to live in
Now Mexico with some degree of comfort. The
