In last weeks News HERALD, police
item named Dennis Ragen as having
been fined for drunk and disorderly.
Dennis dropped in Saturday to say that
there was no truth in the statement. His
friends bear him out in that assertion,
and we have come to the conclusion
that either there are two Dennis Ragens
or the types have been at their pranks
again. We have no desire to do Mr..
Ragen an injustice, and gladly make
this correction.

On Monday evening blast was fred
at the stone quarry which seemed to lift
the houses in the north part OF town
and jolt them down on their foundations.
There were some nervous people and
some with heart trouble who felt the
effects OF it very seriously. Whoever
has this matter in charge should be
more careful. The stone quarry is a
good institution, and no one wants to
have it declared a nuisance. But, life
and health must not be jeopardized.

PRESS COMMENTS.
Statehood for New Mexico.

New Mexico differs from the other ter
ritories in this respect, that while in Ok
lahoma and Arizona the people are prac-
tically unanimous for statehood, there is
division of sentiment in New Mexico
as to whether the admission of that ter.
ritory really would be for its best inter
ests.
New Mexico contains q population of
about 100000, and some people outside of
that territory have said that it ought
not to be admitted for the reason that
large part of this population is illiterate,
and that to majority of the inhabitants
Spanish rather than English is the native
tongue. In regard to the charge of illit
eracy, it might be said that the condition
is due more to a lack of schools than to
any native inability on the part of the in
habitants. Good schools will correct the
evil in the course of time, and it is en-
couraging to note that New Mexico has
established public school system which
promises to wipe away the stain of ignor-
ance. The fact that the Spanish language
is the one spoken by majority of the
people is no objection, for although most
of the people of the United States speak
the English language, it should be recog-
nized that liberty in not confined to men
who are familiar with the English tongue,
and that the principles of American insti-
tutions may as we'll be taught in one Ian
guage as in another.
1t should furthermore be borne in
mind that the best way to encourage i'm
migration is to secure the admission of
L -, eEot Io%N Mavioo
once be admitted and immigration would
Immediately begin to flow in. People do
not like to make their homes in q terri
tory. There is something about a terri
torial government which is repugnant to
the feelings of American citizens. They
believe In local self-government, and
they recognize that a territory is a mere
province of the national government.
Following the establishment of state
hood, New Mexico would experience a
great revival in immigration and invest
ment of capital. This immigration
would come in the main from the states of
Kansas and Nebraska. 1t would be wide
awake and intelligent, and for the most
part it would be Republican. The new
people would be in favor of maintaining
public schools, of developing the re-
sources of the country, and of encourag-
ing additional immigration. In short, an
immigration of this sort would conduce
in every way to the advancement and i'm
provement of the territory. Bus without
statehood it will be slow to come, and,
therefore, everyone who wishes New Mex
leo to advance ought to throw his In
fuence in favor of the passage by con-
gress of the enabling act now pending
before the senate.-Denver Republican.

STOPPED THEIR STEAL.

The fact that Councilman Victory was
chiefly instrumental in nipping in the bud
that Republican scheme to add addi-
tional mills to the school taxes of this
city-a plain attempt at bold steal un-
der cover of a pretense at fostering our
public schools-has made that gentleman
a shining mark for Republican criticism.
But the tax payers will not be fooled by
any such chaff. They owe Mr.. Victory
and his Democratic colleagues in the city
council debt of gratitude for their COM
plete expose of this little Republican deal
OF course, the lawyer politicians who are
thus deprived of handling several thou
sand dollars more of the public funds
than the schools actually needed, may
naturally be expected to feel very sore
toward Mr.. Victory.

the various precinct primaries held under
the auspices of the Democratic party on
Saturday night. The New MEXICAN feels
complimented over the hearty response
the business men of the community made
to its urgent call upon them to turn out
and attend these primaries. Their pres
ence indicated worthy desire to take
part in good government, From this
display of interest in true political re-
form we may hope for still greater i'm
provement in the future in the character Of
the men who take part in primary cleo
tions, for in these, surely, all reforms must
originate.

THE Republican press of New Mexico
again finds itself in the attitude of de-
Tending conspirators. A little while ago
it had big Job on its hands caring for
the interests of those accused of assassin
alton. So it goes. The Republican press
and its politicians certainly have big
job on their hands in this matter, par
ticularly since it is plain that the rank
and file of their party is far too decent to
tolerate any sort of crime.

MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 10.
Democratic Territorial Convention.

In accordance with a resolution of the
Democratic territorial central committee,
adopted at meeting held in Santa Fe on
the 18th day Of August, 1884, q convention
of the Democratic party of the territory
is hereby called to meet at Las Cruces, N.
NJ, on the 18th day of September, 1894,
at 2 o'clock p. m, to nominate a candi-
date for delegate to the house of repre-
sentatiyes of the 54th congress of the
United States.
In accordance with said resolution each
county of the territory is entitled to one
delegate to said convention for each 1926
votes cast for Hon. Antonio Joseph, as
delegate to congress in 1892, and an addi-
tional delegate for each fraction of the
unit Of 125 amounting to fifty or more.
Under this apportionment the several
counties of the territory are entitled to

Grand Canon Of Colorado River.


On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1862 miles from Kansas City, is
the town of Flagstaff. A tri-weekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
a 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 "read up" about it by
asking G. T. Nicholson, G. P. & 7. A., A.
T. & 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.

If Mr.. M. A. Otero, of San Miguel
county, is really after the Republican
nomination to congress with as big club
as he is reported to carry, it would be
wise for HIM to use the club first on some
of his fool friends. II was no doubt
meant in good part, but that picture of
him which the Las Vegas Optic prints
will certainly not enhance Mr.. Otero's
chances for rafting around in Mr.. JOS
