proved by the governor Feb. %, 1899.
This was four months before the close of
the fiscal year, June 80, 1889. Had Mr..
Joseph been the diligent friend of New
Mexico he claims, the
LAS CRUCES COLLEGE
would have had an appropriation of
$4,000 available by July |, 1889, at least.
What are the facts' Mr.. Joseph sat like
bump an a log, while Hon. Edwin
Willis, assistant secretary of agricul
ture, AaW. Harris, chief of experiment
stations, and Henry Z. Alvord looked out
for New Mexico. Through Mr., Josephs
negligence the officials of the agricultural
department, and Mr. Alvord, at Mr..
hiram Hadley's request had a special bill
introduced appropriating $4,000 for the
Las Cruces agricultural college, Now the
law provides that only 20 per cent of the
first appropriation for such institution is
available for building purposes. There
fore only $4,000 instead Of $4,000 could
be expended for blilding at Las Cruces.
Had Mr., Joseph given twenty minutes
of his valuable time before the
Democratic appropriations commit
tee Mr.. Hadley and the regents
would have been saved the expense of a
trip to Washington and the college build
ing fund would have been $1,000 richer.
The letter and data are furnished the
New MEXICAN by the courtesy of Mr.. j.
A. Whitmore, regent of the college, Mr..
Joseph will you please
RISE AND EXPLAIN YOUR CONDUCT.
Tel US why New Mexico was not in
cluded in the general appropriation in
1889, allotting $4,000 for experiment
stations in each state and territory,
One other detail of Mr.. Joseph's San
Marcial speech is worth noticing. He
says; Mr.. Catron accuses me of being
responsible for the drought in the lower
Rio Grande. You all well know that tho
Democrats don't drink water. So what
would | want of it. You also know the
old adage in the states, that water makes
corn, corn makes whiskey, and whiskey
makes Democrats, so that Mr.. Catron's
statements are contradictory. We have no
use for water.
Now that is pretty picture to be got
ten off soberly 1t may have been Joke
but Joseph looked serious as an expert
The NEW MEXICAN never traced your
so cruelty.
The San Marcial Reporter will in its
next issue say
ON THE WATER PROBLEM:
Mr.. Joseph made as an excuse for in
PRODUCING the bill for diverting the water
Of the Rio Grande in southern Colorado,
that it was his duty to introduce all bills
sent him by his constituents, and that
this bill was introduced at the request of
ex-Gov. Fletcher, of Missouri When the
ex-governor became constituent of the
delegate of New Mexico must have puz-
zled the intelligent listener to Mr.. Jo-
seph's defense. Gov. Fletcher is and has
been for more than a decade a profess
sional lobbyist at Washington
Now the New MEXICAN would ask, was
it water or lobby whisky our delegate
was after when he introduced
GOV. rLEToHER's BILLY
But serlously, the custom is for CON
gressmen to mark on bills introduced by
courtesy, and in which they have no in
terest the words, "by request Will Mr.,
Joseph please produce the congressional
record substantiating his claim. If 30
the New MEXICAN will take it back. Now
come Mr.. Joseph, you are in the school of
hard experience, You have learned at last
to be more decent, There were many bad
breaks in your San Marcial speech for
Ubinh thu Npu NTuvrr.u hou :, 81 ,,ooo,
but it was tolerably decent effort, OF
course that allusion to bringing troops to
the TERRA Amarillo is foolish, and you
really compliment Mr., Catron's ability
when you say that he has already ex-
hausted New Mexico, and is looking for a
new field in Washington to organize
Washington ring, You hurt yourself
when you tell those things, John j. Bell
gave you
