LIVE STOCK INTERESTS.

From all quarters of the territory come
cheerful reports reporting the good condi-
ton of live stock. Both sheep and cattle
have come through the winter in excel
lent shape; heavy rains or light, warm
SHOWS have fallen over most OF the range
and already the grass is springng up
luxuriantly, giving assurance of a season
such as the live stock raisers OF New Mex
leo have not experienced in years,
Thus early, too, both cattle and sheep
buyers are in the market, making con-
tracts for shipment to California, Mon
| tana and northwestern feeding grounds.
From all present indications the year viii
prove sprosperous one for stock raisers. We
trust the experience of the last two year
will prompt them not to hold back wher
outsiders bid fair prices, but to act on tn
policy of small profits and qnick sales
In this manner there will be little llabilit
of overstocking ranges in future, and b
this plan New Mexico will quickest feac
its proper position as breeding grounc
leaving the lattening and marketing to b
done further north.

The Democratic central committee at

that the organizers are not meeting with

Republicans and all law abiding citizens
in those sections to be on the lookout
prevention is good deal better than cure
and any attempted lawlessness or intimi-
dation on the part of the White Cap lead
ers should be very promptly dealt with and
that with the strong arm OF the law. No

LOOK AFTER THE NAvAJUES.

1t is better to spend money to keep the
Indians alive than to spend money to kill
them. 1t is better to feed the Navaioes
on the reservation than to have them
leave the reservation for the purpose OF
going to the settlements to get drunk
gamble, contract fatal diseases or steal.
The government can well afford to look
after the Navajo Indians more closely
and spend more money for their education
