AN EXAMPLE,

There is probably no moro lovely spot
on earth than San Bernardino county,
Cal, Its humorous settlements and towns
connected and compaclad by short rail
ways and telephones its magnificent
avenues miles long, its clustering homes
and laden groves, all combine in beauty.
We may have the Same thing in New Mex
leo and especially in Santa Fe. Here we
have better water supply, and possibly
it may be developed at less cost. Our
soil is as good il not better, and our eli
mate unsurpassed. There is, however, a
great lack of the push and energy that
have made California famous. What we
want is work for the future good and not
talk about hard times. We need that our
Board of Trade shall carefully examine,
and Systematically display before the in
weston the great advantages of our coun-
try. The new water works will next year
furnish an ample supply for all present
needs; but it is only the beginning. Fol
lowing in its wake dozens of modern
bitches should cover our mesas, and ten
years from now the valley of Santa Fe
should be as fine as any in the world, The
motor railway and the telephone should
string together our scattered villages, and
the isolation of country life disappear.
All this has been done by our neighbors,
why not by us?

great deal of bowling about the pros
poets of an extra session of congress
after March 4th next is just now being
INDUCED in by many Democratic papers
If you will take the pains to notice you
will see, however, that most of this class
are of the free trade stripe, whose senti-
ments were expressed in the Chicago
platform. Mr.. Cleveland, on the other
hand, is not wholly in accord with that
platform and the chances are therefore,
that he will not be in any very great
hurry about calling an extra session of
congress In response to sentiment
which come SO near defeating him in con-
vention. He will take his time. He will
have to take it to harmonic things in
his party. There is not much prospect
OF an extra session.

Judge-That alters the case. If this wit,

MORE BUSINESS.

The campaign is over. The result is
very pleasant to some people, not SO
pleasant to others; but all good citizens
accept the result with equanimity, and
having had quite enough of politics for a
time, let us all resolve to settle down tC
business now and see what can be done
toward advancing the, welfare of New
Mexico. More business and less politics
ought to be the rule now. Let us strive
to build few irrigation bitches, a rail
road or two, and open up some of the
numerous gold, silver, copper, IRON, Goa
and lead mines with which this fair lane
abounds.
Of course there are many drawbacks tc
the introduction of capital at this time
but talking politics will not help matters
and capital that seeks investment in the
west can, by proper and legitimate meth
DDS, be directed this way quite as readily
as it can into Oklahoma, Utah or any
other territory. Lets's try it.

as official fees produce princely incomes
the Offices yielding them will be sought
