The DEEP WAFER ROUTE.

The deep water harbors on the gulf are
beginning to get in their WORK on the
western traffic. year ago figures were
presented in these columns showing the
enormous saving in freight rates western
grain producers would save by diverting
their shipments toward the southwestern
gulf coast instead of sending them across
the country by rail to the Atlantic sea-
ports. With its accustomed foresight,
the A., 7. & S. f. long ago noted this
coming change in the movement of west
ern crops, and it was the first to make
rate of Kansas grain to Galveston which
induced shippers to try the new route.
As result thousands of dollars are now
and will henceforth be annually saved to
the west, adding just that much to
the value of our produce on for
eign markets, and greater interest
than ever has been developed in
the Importance of, and assured success
of the several coast deep water pro-
jects. Both Galveston and Velasco are
feeling the quickening impulses of this
movement. A SO cent rate from Kansas
has brought 1,750,000 bushels of grain to
the ships at Galveston wharves since
January l, of which some 10000 bushels
have gone to such foreign markets az
Havre, Rotterdam and Cork. At Velasco
great elevators are now building, and a
full share of the new traffic will reach for
eign shores from that port in future. 1t
is estimated that 100000 bushels of
Kansas and Texas wheat of this years
crop will reach its market by this new
route. The southwest is certainly grow
ing in commercial independence.

SMALL FARMS.

1t Is gratifying to note the splendid in
crease in the cultivated area of Rio
Grande valley lands mentioned in tho
press Of Albuquerque, Socorro and Las
Cruces. Many small, we'll titled farms
have been established in that locality
during the past few years and each sue
ceeding year shows that more attention is
being given to agriculture. The small
farm is the secret of Frances national
wealth, and the five and ten acre tract in
New Mexico. properly cared for, is worth
as much, if not more, than tho 100 acre
farm in the eastern or central western
states. At the same time, however, it is
to be hoped that these small farmers will
not overlook the necessity of providing
storage reservoirs to perpetuats their
prosperity. Without these success may
come for one, two or even three years in
succession, but the 'dry spell" inevitably
comes and then there is disaster. SIN
times OF peace prepare for war" In sea
son of abundance of water in the Rio
Grande the farmers in the valley should
bestir themselves and enlist capital to
provide them with water storage reser-
voirs. Once provide these and success ia
theirs for all time, and =. :.
farms will spring into existence where
now but one marks the landscape. TAKE
time by the forelock and bnild ressr-
voirs.

and W. NJ. Berger have performed the
duties of the important offices from which
they were removed without just cause, for
nearly four years efficiently, honestly and
for the best interests of the people and
of the government; every citizen of this
territory knows this to be a fact; what
charges Delegate Joseph filed against
them is not known, and it makes no
earthly difference. Mr.. Cleveland had the
power to remove and he exercised it; but
this removal does not in any manner re-
fleet on these three gentlemen, and they
stand to-day blameless as officials and
men and leave Office with enviable records
and retire with the consciousness of hay

JUDGE WARREN ON AUTHORITIES.

That was very funny and singular
slip on yesterday in the argument in
the Conklin case before Judge Seeds
when Judge Warren, at present q
candidate for the Office of chief justice
of New Mexico and appearing against
Sheriff Conklin, read an authority
to show, that the remedy Of injunction
was not the proper remedy in the case,
but failed to read the entire contents of
the authority cited. Now the question
arises in the minds of simple and honest
people. mot learned jurists like Judge
Warren and not yersed in jurisprudence
like that candidate for chief justice) is
such course proper and honest and fair
and is the court fully informed upon the
merits of an authority, when but the part
favorable to the side for which the cita-
ton ia made is read, and when the con-
Guiding sentences OF such authority
proving unfavorable to the position taken
by Judge Warren, are not read!
That is question that just now is
bothering good and honest men in this
community.
Is there any explanation to this:

OUT Of JOINT,

"The time is out of joint. Oh cursed
spite
''That ever l was born to set it right"
Antonio Joseph.
Well may ourdistinguishod delegate ex-
claim that "the time is out of joint" when
it Is reported that such icyness exists
between himself and the president as to
produce exhibitions of wrath by the
latter statesman every time the name of
the former statesman is mentioned in his
august presence. Thecauso of this is said to
bethat tho delegate has broken faith with
tho president. There must be some mistake
here, and there must be some other
Joseph, as our Joseph is the very type
aud model of ,eracity, who seldom per-
mits himself TO wander outside of tho
pale of truth into the weeds and thorns
of its opposite. Or course he has said
that wool was never so low in price as
during last fall, and that the manufacture
of shoddy and the Mckinley act were the
cause of it; that Register Morrison did
not average five days per month in his
office; that Mr.. Catron had rendered very
valuable services TO the cause of state
hood, and that he had not, but was
detriment thereto; that tin was neither
mined nor manufactured in America.
But these were merely slips of the tongue
which any great statesman like Joseph
may be excused for making, and we warn
Mr.. Cleveland against believing that our
Joseph is capable of breaking faith with
anyone unless under stress of temptation.
The president has troubles enough at
hand without coming out hero to dig up
more. The anger Of Joseph is danger
Gus thing, but II he brings down on his
head the wrath of the two other sides OF
the triangle he had better turn over his
job to Adlai and take permanent vaca-
tion.
