The decision of the supreme
court of the United States as to
the constitutionality of the Geary
law has caused more discussion of
the question of Chinese immigra-
ton than any occurrence of recent
years. Comparatively few people
in this country expected that the
supreme court would decide the
law to be constitutional, although
the great majority of the people
would like to G the country rid
ded of Chinese, if it could be done
in such a way that it would not
seem that an injustice had been
done to the Chinese residents of
this country who came here in
good faith. Notwithstanding the
desire to see the Chinese go which
would naturally bias the minds of
Americans who believe that the
Chinese are not desirable people
TO have here, the decision of the
supreme court is not meeting with
popular approval. The sense of
justice has been aroused in the
minds of the masses of the people
and it is quite evident that while
the great majority of Americans
want Chinese immigration restrict
ed, there are few who want to see
Cinnamon who were allowed to
come here ~peaceably forced to
leave the country. If our legisla-
tors are going to drive out foreign
ers who have been allowed to come
here, it would be better to COM
mence on the anarchists, socialists,
paupers and criminals who have
been pouring into this country
from Europe for years. China
men are desirable as compared
with the paupers and criminals of
Europe and if any foreigners are
to be driven out, it would be we'll
to commence with these classes.
Congress viii either have to re-
peal the Goary law at the next ses-
sion or pass a law which will APP
ply 10 other classes Of undesirable
residents.

THE question Of pension pay.
ments is getting to be a serious
one The amount which will have
to be raised to meet the payments
for the coming fiscal year will APP
proach s2O0,OOO,0OO or about as
much as it costs to pay all the
other current expenses of the gov
eminent. IL has been suggested
that the amount necessary should
be raised by an income tax which
would throw the burden of pen
sion payments on those classes
which we're very largely benefited
by the war; that is to say the
wealthy manufacturers who have
amassed large fortunes through
the operations of the protective
tariff which was one of the out
growths of the war. The burden
ought TO be lifted from the Shout
ders of the workingman and placed
where it %rightfully belongs-upon
the benehciaries of the protective
tariff. The protective tariff has
operated to impoverish the work.
ing man for years and at the same
time to enrich the manufacturer by
obliging the workingman to pay
more for what he buys than he
would have to pay if it were not
for the protective tariff while the
manufacturer pocketed the profits.
The workingman has been robbed
long enough and he ought not to
be asked to continue to help pay
the expenses of a war which result
ed indirectly in robbing him. The
manufacturers were the chief bene-
fciaries and it is but fair to ask
them to pay the pensions which
have been granted to the soldiers
who fought the war which brought
them prosperity.

by the republican party for presi-
dent in 1896. Although he has
made a tour of the country at a
great expense and had a newspa-

The silver question is Of greater
Importance to the people of this
Territory than any other and un-
til it is settled and setteld favor
ably there can be no considerable
improvement in the condition Of
affairs in New Mexico. Next in
importance to the silver question
is the irrigation question, but the
prosperity of the agriculturist, the
fruit raiser and others who gain a
livelihood by the products of the
soil is dependant upon the pros
perity Of the miner and stock
raiser. We're it not for the miners
employed IN the mines in this Ter
ritory there would not be a market
here for the products now raised
in the Territory and there would
be no necessity for increasing the
areas Of irrigated land in New
Mexico. With no home market
there would be no profit in raising
produce for it could not be ship
ped to other parts Of the country
and sold in competition with their
home products. Since the mining
interests have been languishing
in this Territory there has been a
tendency to turn attention to irri-
cation and let the miners shift for
themselves. No greater mistake
has ever been made here. Upon
the prosperity of the miners de-
ponds the prosperity of the whole
Territory. They are all consum-
ers Of produce and the greater the
activity in the mines the greater
will be the demand for the pro-
ducts of the soil and the better
markets will producers have. It
is true that there is not land
enough under cultivation in New
Mexico to produce enough to sup
ply the home demand at the pres
ent time, but a large number of
irrigation enterprises have been
undertaken within the past two or
three years which, when completed
will irrigate much more than land
enough to grow all the produce
needed here by the present popu-
lation. When these enterprises
are finished there will have to be
an increase in the consumers in
the Territory or there will be no
market for the products. This
increase will come just as soon as
there is favorable silver legisla-
ton so that the numerous silver
miaes can be worked at a profit.
Tie solution of the silver question
is of just as much Importance to
the residents of the Rio Grande
valley as it is to the miners who
live in the mountains but it seems
that there are some of the resi-
dents of the valley of the Rio
Grande who are so short sighted
as to take no part in the fight for
silver. The fight will be won and
won without their aid and in the
end they will be as largely bene-
fitted as anybody.

ADvIcEs from Honolulu by the
last steamer are to the effect that
Blount is acting impartially and
has taken sides with neither party.
He has made public his instruc-
tions from the state department
which will prevent any attempt at
interference in the Hawaiian mat
ter by any other power. 1t is
now understood that whether the
islands are annexed to the United
States or not, this government
will not permit any interference
on the part of any other nation.
If the provisional government is
strong enough to maintain itself
it is quite probable that a treaty
of annexation will be concluded at
an early day but if the royalists
succeed in placing the Queen on
the throne as they confidently ex-
pect to be able to do, there win be
no interference on the part of this
government. The islands are the
key to the north Pacific and ought
to belong to this country by all
means. The opportunity to ac-
quire them peaceably may never
come again and this is all the more
reason for prompt action in the
matter. The leaders of the new
government are taking every pos
sible measure to strengthen the
government with the residents of
the islands and think that they
are masters of the situation.

While the silver and irrigation
questions are being agitated the
question Of statehood must not be
lost sight Of. There is now a dem
%ocratic majority in both houses Of
congress and the question Of adj
mission will be decided in our IA
vor if it can be shown that there is
a reasonable probability that New
Mexico will be reliably democrat
ic. The only reason why the bill
for the admission of the Territory
was not passed nc the last congress
was because the Territory had
been democratic for some years
and the republicans in the senate
we're opposed to the admission of
any territory which might leopard
ize the republican majority in the
senate.
Now that the senate is demo-
cratic the only thing required is
to show that the democratic ma
Ijority in that body would not be
wiped out by the admission of
New Mexico. Some of the demo-
Gratis in the Territory are doing
all they possibly can to create the
impression that the democratic
party in New Mexico is in bad
condition and that the republicans
are sure to carry the next cleo
ton. If they succeed in making
the democratic leaders IN the sem
ate believe hat this is 50 they will
most effectually bar the way to
statehood. The democratic party
is in control Of the executive and
Legislative branches of the govern
ment for the first time in many
years and it would be folly to adj
NIT New Mexico if there was any
probability that the new state
would send two republicans to the
United States senate.
The democrats of New Mexico
have the statehood question in
their own hands and this is no
time for party strife. The great
victory is yet to be won and it
will require the united strength
of the party to win the fight. 1t
must be shown that there is no
division in the democratic ranks
and such is really the case. All
the dissension which some of the
sore heads would like to make il
appear as existing is among a few
disappointed ones who have nc
following.
1t can be said to the credit OF
some of the most prominent men
who did not receive appointments
that they have taken their defeat
like men and are now working
with a will for statehood and the
continued supremacy of the dem.
ocratic party in New Mexico.
However statehood is to be de
sired it must be understood tina
New Mexico must come in as
democratic state if it is to com,
in at all during this congress. TIL,
Territory has gone democratic il
EVERY election since 1880 and it ii
democratic now by a safe majorit,
eyen without the sore heads VIII,
are doing so much talking.

HE lynching of Cecilio Lucero
at Las Vegas last week was justi-
fable if lynchings are ever iustif-
able. There was no doubt but
that he committed the crime for
which he was hanged by the mob.
The condition of affairs in San
Miguel county has been for some
years, a deplorable one. Grimes
have been committed almost with
out number, and the criminals
have, IS a rule, gone unpublished.
The uncertainty of obtaining a
conviction in the courts has put a
premium on lawlessness, and the
frequency of executive pardons in
the past has taken away a great
deal of the moral effect of a con-
viction and sentence to the peni-
tertiary. The residents Of Las
Vegas and vicinity, it seems, have
at last arrived at the conclusion
that if the courts will not afford
them protection to life and proper
ty, they will take measures to pro-
tect themselves by more violent
means. 1t is more than probable
that the lynching Of Lucero viii
have an excellent effect ON the
criminal element in San Miguel
county and will have a tendency
to put an end to the lawlessness
there. If the pardon mill were to
be smashed and convictions could
be obtained in the courts there
would be no excuse for lynchings
but where there seems to be no
degree of certainty hat criminals
will be punished in a legal way a
community cannot be blamed for
taking the law into its own hands.

will soon retire from the supreme

resignation has been expected for
some time and it is presumed that
President Cleveland will appoint

made vacant. Gresham is one of
the ablest jurists in this country

supreme bench years ago and prob
ably would have been appointed
during Harrison's administration
had it not been for a personal feel

amicable nature between the two

of the gold reserve held in the

cd last week. The seriousness of
