CatrOn's Land Grant.

An article in the Times of Tuesday con-
corning the Republican candidate for
delegate and his connection with the
TERRA Amarillo grant, contains SO much
in the way of malicious misstatement
that it calls for correction.
The writer says in substance that Mr..
Catron by surreptitious proceedings in
the district court, deprived large num-
Der of people, resident upon the grant,
of title to their land which they had OBJ
tanned from the patentee, Francisco Mar
tinez. He says that these people had
been living upon the land for many
years and were well known to Catron at
the time that he brought suit to quiet
his title to the grant. If this were true,
the decree obtained in that suit under
service by publication, would be entirely
invalid and of no effect as against such
persons. The suit was brought
under statute of the territory
against all unknown owners OF
claimants of interests in the grant. Peo-
pie living upon the property in open and
notorious possession thereof are not "un-
known owners" and no court would have
ever held them to be SUCH No one of the
people referred to has ever been disturbed
in any way by Mr.. Catron, and his suit to
quiet title was not aimed at them and
could not affect them. 1t is true that two
or three years ago a suit waN brought on
behalf of some Of the people living on
the gra2t against Mr. Catron. This suit
was instigated and carried on by personal
and political enemies of Mr.. Catron, one
of whom is the author of the lying article
which appears in the Times.
The dismissal of the suit was not : be-
cause of the existence of the earlier. de-
cree, but because the people who had been
mislead and imposed upon by the stirrers-
up of strife, came to their senses suffi-
GENTLY to refuse to put up any more
money for expenses or compensation of
counsel, who now misstate the facts in the
public prints. They had been led to be-
lieve that Catron was about to turn them
off of their little pieces of land and de-
prive them of their property, and under
the influence of malicious advisers they
went into court. Catron was compelled

WANT SOMETHING BETTER.

About the only thing of public moment
done by the recent Peoples party con-
vention at Las Vegas was the adoption of
resolution favoring the enactment by
the legislature of New Mexico of an irri-
cation law similar to the Wright law of
California. 1t is really too bad that such
a good cause should be so early well nigh
blighted by so corrupt an advocate. The
Wright irrigation act has done more than
any other one thing (outside of statehood)
to, foster and advance the agricultural and
horticultural development of California.
In effect it provides that the people of
any valley, or residing adjacent to any
water system, may organize themselves
into an irrigation district and issue
bonds for water development. Much
after the plan that New Mexico
school districts are empowered to
issue bonds and tax themselves for'event-
ually meeting the principle and interest
thereon. The law has been in operation
in California for five years and while it
has worked admirably as rule, yet now
experience has taught that there are many
defects coupled Herewith, which the
California legislature will this winter be
petitioned to remedy. Thus it appears
that New Mexico should not be in haste
despite the pathetic appeal of the Peoples
party to adopt the Wright law as it nov
exists. 1t is something better that Cali
fornia demands and that something better

,nr,sst this suit because the claim set
4y Was mol merely Of ownership Of small
pieces OF land for which complainants
Acld deeds, but OF ownership Of undivided
interests il The whole Grant.
!. TUrD a,1lt to this grant was issued in
1873 and at that time the statute of limi-
tatuns began to run in favor of every
man in possession of land whether by
good title or otherwise. The full period
of the statute expired some years ago.
If Mr.. Catron had ever had any desire to
disturb any of the occupants of land
upon his property, he has done nothing
TO indicate it, and he has allowed the
time to go by when he could have dis
turbed them. Many of these people have
never had any color of title whatever,
but have been allowed to remain in I'M
disturbed possession until that posses
sion is unassailable under our law.
The suit again Mr.. Catron before refer
red to, was solely for the purpose Of in
turing him and not for the purpose of
beneGling the clients of the author of
these scandals. 1t had come to the knowl-
edge of this person that Mr.. Catron was
negotiating the sale of the grant, and
aCtuated SOleIy by HIS personal ennlUy TO
Catron, he persuaded portion Of the
occupants of the land to allow him to
bring the suit, with the purpose of de-
feating the sale. We do not know whether
he succeeded in this or not, but he proba-
bly, did, as the negotiations were broken
off. Capital is proverbially timid, and
an assault upon title, however unfound-
ed, usually drives away an investor.
The Democratic campaign against Mr..
Catron seems to be confined to personal
abuse and willful misrepresentation, and
this TERRA Amarillo business is only a
!sample.- Albuquerque Citizen.

r. B. Catron, Esq, Santa Fe, N. NJ.
Dear sir: The following extract from
what purports to be an interview with
delegate Joseph has been sent me:
"He told me dis,inctly that Senator
Platt, chairman of the committee on ter
ritories, had promised him that the act
should pass after getting through the
house. He told this to me, also to IL. H.
Ferguson, and to members of the sen ate
committee on territories. After gett 'ng
It through the house, which did by spe-
cial favor from MT. Springer, had no
doubt of Its passage through the senate
after W hat Catron had told me. 1 waited
a reasonable time and then " emit" Plat
about the matter, told him what Catron
had said and showed him letter from
him to the same effect. Senator Plat WAS
surprised, and not only denied having
made any such promise to Catron, but got
indignant and said that he, Catron, in say
ing such thing, was the most unblushin 6
liar he had met it'll during his public
career. You will now understand from
these facts that Catron ia not only a deiib-
crate liar, ut Is moreover an enemy OF
btatthobu anu Quiie w "" dti IA
his power to Keep New Mexico out OF the
Union as long as possible"
deem it due to you to say that Mr.. Jo-
seph never showed me any letter from
you whatever; tina never used the Ian
guag- that is attributed to me In the ex
tract auy thing like 1t, either to MIR. DO
seph or to any one else. Mr.. Joseph must
have been misrepre- ented, think, in his
| interview, and he owes 1t to your.el', to
ne and to the public, to say that he never
made the statements that are attributed
to him. Yours truly,

And in view IF this above Can honest, de-
cent and truth.ioving voters y"te for Jo-
seph, who Is a proven liar?

States service by Col. Kit Carson on
September 6, 1861. His company took
part in the battle of Valverde and par
ticipated in numerous skirmishes and
scouts against hostile Indians during its
term of service. Capt. Sanchez made a
very good record for himself and his com
mand while in the service.
As a public man he has been probate
clerk and probate judge of the county OF
Taos a member of the lower house of the
assembly three times, speaker of the
house one term, member of the council
one term; he was Pueblo Indian agent
under the Arthur administration and SUI
perintendent of the census in this terri
tory in 1890. All these positions he filled
honestly, creditably and ably and to the
satisfaction of the government and of the
people.
Mr.. Sanchez speaks and understands
the English language and is thorough
scholar in the Spanish language; he is q
self-educated man, has had great and
varied experience in public affairs and in
legislative matters; he is one of the fore.
most men of his section of the country
and is known to every man, woman and
child in the counties of Rio Arriba and
Taos and well and favorably known. He
will be elected by large majority and
will prove one of the most valuable and
strongest members of the upper branch
of the legislative assembly and will be
ever ready to work and vote for good
and wholesome legislation.

FACTS AS TO CONKliN AND MARTINEZ. COM
PARE THEM.

Romulo Martinez, Democratic candi-
date for sheriff and collector, has judg-
ments to the amount of many thousands
of dollars pending against him and suit
brought by the U. S. government for
shortage in his account as United States
marshal under Cleveland to defend in the
district court; he can not hold real estate
in his own name.
c.. NJ. Conklin, Republican candidate
for sheriff and collector, owes no
man a cent; he has honestly and
fully accounted for every cent of public
funds received by him during his in
cumbency of the office of the sheriff and
collector; he is an boncsts man; a good,
faithful ait courageous officer.
The New MEXICAN simply gives these
facts; the voters must choose for them
selves. Facts are facts.

Joseph's home counties and they will re-
