A Colorado View.

In the nature of things it is impossible
that the use of water for irrigation in the
San Luis valley should deprive the people
of New Mexico of the use of all the water
thus withdrawn from the river. just as
certain as it is that the water which falls
upon the land in the form OF rain or snow
came from the sea, 80 certain is it that
the water will return to the sea. The
river exists because the water which falls
upon it's drainage slope is making its way
to the sea.
and spread it over the land in irrigation
is to check its progress toward the sea for
little time only. little of it enters
into the composition of the plants, but it
is very small quantity which is con-
sumed in that way. Some of it also is
evaporated, but about IS per cent finds
it's way back to the river by seepage. If
every drop of water in the river should
be withdrawn twice during the course of
the stream through Colorado, only ~ per
cent of the whole would be prevented
from flowing into New Mexico. This is
on the supposition that none of that lost
by evaporation would fall again within
the drainage basin of the Rio Grande. As
matter of fact great deal of it may
return in this way, thus reducing the per-
centage withheld from New Mexico. The
people living in the lower valley have not
as good foundation for their complaint
against Colorado as they seem to think.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The mountain has labored and brought
forth a mouse. Mr.. Cleveland has seen
fit to but his head against the stone wall
of bimetallism and comes out flat-footed
for IN onometalism. This means that he
views American interests through smoked
glasses supplied him by the know-it-alls
of Lombard and Wall street. He urges
legislation by congress exclusively in
behalf of the monied interests of the
world and Numerically opposed to the
creditor class. He would have gold or
nothing as the basis of all business. He
ignores the use of silver as money and
appears to doubt its utility even as a
commodity. He heaps responsibility for
the enforced idleness of a million spindles
in New England; hundreds of banked
furnaces in the middle states and the
unemployment of hundreds of thou
sands of workingmen all over the coun-
try, upon the white metal, and he seems
to have forgotten that his party ever
enunciated such thing as platform of
principles.
Mr.. Cleveland has made the mistake Of
his life. He now has the west arrayed
solidly against him; the south can not be
consistent and undertake to palliate his
offense against the creditor masses, which
largely make up her population, and it is
questionable if even the northern and
eastern sections OF the Union will not
eventually think less of him for tho petty
service he has undertaken to render them.
Mr.. Cleveland has forced the issue and
has put to the test the question as to
which is the stronger, his own personality
and power or the platform of his party.
Under the circumstances the possible
action by Democratic congress be-
comes more intensely interesting than
ever,

TRAMPLiNC ON THE PLATFORM.

The Democratic national platform
adopted at Chicago declares that silver
is money and should be maintained on a
parity with gold. It also denounces the
protective tariff, makes it the scapegoat
of national evils and demands its repeal.
Mr.. Cleveland on the other hand de-
nounces silver as money, demands its
degradation and says the tariff is an un-
important matter that can wait the leis-
ure Of congress. The public does
not know "where it is at" Mr.. Cleveland
seems to combine in himself all the Dem
ocratic attributes, maugre the people
and their COW entions. This is the first
time in American history that u party
leader has undertaken to wipe the politi
cal slate clean of party instructions and

Has Had Experience.

Tom Hughes, editor of the Albuquer-
que Citizen, has been sued for libel, and
the damage claimed by the plaintiff in
the case is $4,000. 1t is one of the
evidences of hard times in New Mexico,
that an agrieved person demands such
paltry sum to compensate him for the
loss of character. A year or more ago
twice that sum would have been about
the correct figure for an ordinary man to
demand. That was the amount-$2O,0 900
that the Stockman was struck for by a
man with grievance and an itching for
wealth, but he compromised the matter
by paying costs. So it will probably
result with the suit against Hughes; the
plaintiff will pay the costs while the de-
tendant will not lose pound of flesh nor
wink of sleep.-Springer Stockman.

Prof. Hiram Hadley, president of the
agricultural college at Las Cruces, was
homeward bound this morning, returning
from Chicago, where he was delegate
from New Mexico to the Chicago silver
convention. Mr.. Hadley, who was one of
a committee of forty-two members to

The Credit System.

The Albuquerque Citizen says that the
present stringency in the money market
will compel the business men of that city
to curtail the length of the credit system.
The extravagant license givcn to rich and
poor alike, to buy on long time, has done
much toward precip{tating upon+hem

The eastern papers sheer because some
silver men are making important con-

Are the silver men only to grin and bear

the western men preserve their sound
business sense.

THE New York Tribune announces that
of the senators whose views on silver are
known thirty-four will vote for, and
thirty-four against the repeal of the
Sherman law, with twenty Others in the
doubtful columns. As most of this last
number belong to the newly elected
western and southern senators the out
look is good for fair legislation.

AS Messrs. Springer, Holman and
Bland, respectively chairmen of the ways

votes, it remains to be seen whether the

A Dispensation Of Grace.

The fact that the Lord still has active
jurisdiction in Chicago seems to be un-
questionably demonstrated by the fact
that Inspector Thornby, who pounded
the face of an insolent southern fair
commissioner because the latter tried to
break through the gates in violation of
rules, has been sustained by the board of
directors. Such manifestations of grace
are comforting to poor mortals who are
struggling through this vale of tears in
search of light and ''mourn because they
find it not."-Kansas City Star.

A Cool Place.

We know of one place in town
where, no matter how hot the day,
the temperature never rises above 10
degrees. That place is the cellar of
John Diehl's beer depot, which a
SILVER STATE reporter was shown
through yesterday. Mr.. Diehl buys
the famous Schlitz Milwaukee beer
by the carload and stores it in this
cellar, where it is kept constantly at
an almost freezing temperature.
Dealers who buy this beer do not
have to keep it in the ice chest sew
eral hours before it is fit to serve to
their customers. Mr.. Diehl now has
a fine local trade and there is also a
brisk demand for the beer from sta
tions along the road.

STEWART ON SILVER.
The Present Trouble Ascribed to the
Gold Men.

Cry OF MEXICO, July 8.-Senator
Stewart of Nevada, who is now in
this city, conferred with President
Diaz today on the silver question.
The senator, in an interview, said
that the desperate effort of the
gold combination to convert con-
taacts payable in silver into contracts
payable in gold alone, by the destruc-
ton of more than half the metallic
money OF the world, was producing
its legitimate fruits in bringing pank-
ruptcy and misery upon the people.
1t was necessary, he said, for Glad
stone, with slender majority, to act
quickly and suspend the coinage of
silver in India. 1t was equally
necessary to have an extra session OF
the United States congress to force
action before contraction of gold
would be realized. But many bank
ruptcies had occurred and they would
arouse the people to resist the con-
summation Of the resolution to reduce
the basis of circulation and credit
more than half The scheme would
fail and the Shermon act would not
be repealed unless something better
was substituted for it.

At Austin last week the grand jury
found two indictments against j. A..
Blossom, county commissioner, for
misconduct in office, and one against
Commissioners Steiner and Blossom
for bribery. The report of the grand
jury is scathing one and charges
that the commissioners have been
guilty OF unfair practice, compelling
INDECENT poor to buy supplies from
certain stores, and discrimination in
letting contracts for county work.
The indicted commissioners are two
of the best known residents Of Lander
county, and sensational developments
are looked for.
