-------------------------
A TIMELY OBSERVATION,

There is a great deal of solemn truth in
the observation of the Las Vegas Optic
that "the laws of New Mexico seem to
have been made especially to tie the
hands of prosecuting attorneys and to
prevent them from originating the work
of bringing criminals to punishment"
Here's little task fort the next legislature
to tackle. The difficulty which officials
of the present administration have had to
overcome in their late crusade against
crime in New Mexico has served to reveal
many weak spots in the existing law
which the members Of the next assembly
will be called upon to remedy. These
defects will be pointed out in due time
and the New MEXICAN will make it its
particular business to see that the proper
changes are made in the statutes before
the next leg slature quits business.

Grand Canon Of Colorado River.

On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1882 miles from Kansas City, is
the town of Flagstaff. tri-weekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
mile in depth, this is the sublimest of
gorges-a Titan of chasms. Twenty
Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than brook.
Don't fail to visit this first wonder of
the world. You can tread up" about it by
asking G. I. Nicholson, G. P. & 7. A., A.
I. & s. F. R. R. Co., Topeka, Kas., to mail
you free copy of an illustrated book
describing this terra incognita. The book
is no common affair; but is entertainingly
written, beautifully illustrated and gem
of the printers art.

COLORADO POLITICS.

Colorado stands good chance of being
redeemed by the Democrats at the next
election. There are serious defections in
the ranks of the Republican party, caused
by factional fights, and the antics of the
Populst officials have brought so much
disgrace upon the Centennial state that it is
safe to assert that they will not elect a
single official. The two best adminstra-
tions Colorado has ever had were con-
Quoted by the Democrats. The names of
ex-Gov. Grant and exGov. Adams are
household words in Colorado and the
memory of the administrations of these
two good Democrats will cause many a
Republican to join hands with the Demo-
Gratis next fall. It will not be queer if
the Democrats elect all the state officials
and also legislature that will send a
Democrat to the United States Senate to
succeed Senator Wolcott.

MARRIAGE RECORDS,

Ministers of the Gospel and others
authorized by law to perform marriages
are reminded that under the laws they are
required to file in the clerks office a re-
cord of all marriages. Such filings shall
be made at least twice year, January
and July l. How many ministers are
there in New Mexico who have performed
their duties in this respect! Precious
few, we venture to say.-New Mexican.
In commenting on this the Roswell Re-
cord says:
The above Is, in all aspects, true, and
it is also true that our laws are exceed
ingly lax in the matter of marriages.
We call attention to the fact that there is
no official record of and no way of OBJ
tanning the list of those who are au-
thorized to perform marriage ceremonies.
The legislature should, at its next session,
provide by statute that each minister of
the Gospel should file a copy of his
credentials with the secretary of the ter
ritory, and that officer should then issue
n certificate to the party stating that he
is authorized to celebrate the rites of
matrmony, and persons notso authorized
should not be allowed to tamper with the
most important contract that citizens
can enter upon. The reason that we
mention ministers specially is that civil
magistrates are known officially as such,
and there is record of their appoint
ment or election.
