THE OPTICS ATTACK ON SANTA PB.

The Albuquerque Democrat is not very
hopeful of the extension OF the Santa Fe
Southern, from Santa Fe through Cerrilios
and San Pedro to Albuquerque, a matter
about which the New MEXICAN has had so |
much to say. Having given up all hope, |
thesDemocrat becomes wrathy. and uses
some very hard words about the owners
and the management of the baby road.
The fact is that the Democrat is too hard
on them. They are more to be pitled than
blamed. They have an elephant on their
hands which they have tried in vain to dis
pose Of, short OF absolutely giving 1t away
or utterly abandoning it without COM
pensation. 1t doesn't pay, it can't be
made 10 pay; and business men can not
reasonably be expected to throw away
more money on il. The Atkinson will,
doubtless, build from Cerrillos to San
Pedro, and for this the section OF country
down there should combine their efforts.
Las Vegas Optic.
In the above can again be seen the dirty
meanness and envious jealousy that
actuate the Las Vegas Optic, whenever
anything that might benefit any other sec
ton in the territory is concerned. What
the Las Vegas Optic does not know about
the Santa Fe Southern railroad or about
decency, honesty and fair play amounts
to great deal more than TINT what it
| does know.
The New MEXICAN published the attack
of the Democrat on the Santa Fe South
ern for no other purpose than to find out
what there was behind it; this the New
MEXICAN has ascertained and will publish,
if necessary, the true inwurdness of this
attack.
AS far as the road Itself is concerned
not only has it not been an elephant on
the hands OF the people who own it, but
quite the reverse even under the stupid,
wasteiul and disgraceful management OF
L. M. Nelly, its president for five years,
it has paid all running expenses. Under
any decent management and with man
at the helm who has the confidence and
respect OF the people and of the merchants
the road would pay handsome interest
onits bonds.
Every trouble the road has so far ex-
perienced has been brought about by the
abominable conduct of that man Nelly
of itself the road should be profitable
investment.
The policy OF the Optic is TO Pull down
wherever it can, and to Islander other
portions and cities of the territory. II
that sort of business suits the citizens Of
Las Vegas, they are welcome to it; but
they are sowing, and they will reap the
whirlwind. This thing of hurting other
communities and locations in New Next
co might be returned with interest, and
we're it not that the New MExICAN's poll
cy il one OF liberality toward, and tail
treatment Of, all portions OF New Mexico
the Las Vegas Optic would hear some
thing drop" that would be remembered
for many moons.

The Albuquerque Citizen views with
alarm the project to give the arid lands to
the states and territories wherein found,
and says only favored few will be bene-
flied thereby; that rings, cliques and a
few spectators will get control of them
and be the only ones benefited. AS mat
tiers now stand no one is getting any BEN
fit from these lands. About all who have
ever gotten any benefit have been eastern
cattle companies and spectators. Give
the lands to the states lot them be sold
under proper rules and regulations. You
can not make matters any worse than
they are now. Get the lands and then
fight to take care of them.-Socorro

MUCH TRUTH IN IT. so IT LOOKS.

The great New York dailies remind one
these days somewhat of New Mexico
papers; the common expressions now
used in them are ballot thieves, corrupt
judges, state stealers, thieves in office"
and the like; "a thief on the bench,
stolen legislatures" etc. The Republican
dailies are applying that sort of language
to the Democratic legislature and the
Democratic officials; the latter dare not
resent and dare not talk back; it looks as
if there was much truth in what the Re-
publican papers are saying just now in
the Empire state.

The New Mexican Has Taken no Such
Exceptions.

The New MEXICAN takes exception to
the press of the territory advocating the
selection of on-officials for delegates to
the national Republican convention.
While we do not care rap who gofs to
Minneapolis as delegates from this terri
tory we submit that the whole people
would be more thoroughly represented by
men who do not hold office under the
present administration, and thus have
nothing to lose, from political point of
view, than they would be by officials
whose bread and butter, SO to speak, de-
pend in great measure on the renomi-
nation and reelection Of B. Harrison.
1t is to be hoped the territorial convention
will take this view Of the matter and
select men who will vote for the choice of
the people instead Of for their POSITIONS

THE IDIOT ON THE SILVER CITY SEN
TINEL,

I1NbIt
The poor idiot who runs, to the detri-
ment of the county and town it is pub
lished in, the Silver City Sentinel, is very
sore at the New MExICAN's success. To be
sure he has good cause to be, but only as
perfect an idiot as he would show his
chagrin. However, the New MEXICAN
will give the poor ignoramus much more
cause to howl and below. His actions in
assaiing the New MEXICAN are like a
pup baying at the moon, and will have
about as much effect.
