THE cause of the failure to pass
the bill for the admission of New
Mexico at the session just expired
is very plainly set forth in a letter
to the New Mexican from Wash
ington. It says the democratic
senators found that while they
could get the Utah bill out Of the
committee and through the main
body without much trouble that
they had a fight on their hands
with the republicans on both the
New Mexico and Arizona bills.
The men who were most bitter on
these deserving commemorative
were Plat, the aged and fanatical
protectionist goldbug from Con-
necticut and Davis, the goldbug
corporation attorney, who has been
put in the senate by the moneyed
interests of Minnesota.
On the floor of the senate the
principal opposition came from the
republican side, as it is not desir-
able in their view that any more
senators who will vote against the
protective cormorants and goldites
shall come in and stop the stealing
that is now going on. They will
be aided by the one or two gold
bugs on the democratic side, be-
longing to the conservative element
that in the late tariff fight proved
themselves to be without the pale
of the democratic party and enti-
tied to be condemned.
But Chairman Faulkner, of the
committee on territories, told the
New Mexican's correspondent in
the plainest terms o few days be-
fore that he did not intend to let
the New Mexico and Arizona bills
be killed by the opposition. The
democratic party has given a prom
Use Of home rule and intends that
it shall be carried out. Therefore
early in the short session the bills
will be called up and it viii be the
policy Of the democrats, aided by

A YEAR ago the republican, gold
bug press of the east was crying
aloud to Heaven, congress and the
nation for the repeal of the Sher-
man act. Assuring us, one and all,
that the Sherman act was the sole
cause of the hard times, and that
the repeal of this law would ensure
us an improvement in business, an
increase in wages as well as in
prices for wool, wheat, cattle, fruit
and everything else, that gold ship
ments would cease, gold would
flow into the country and, with the
Sherman act repealed and the
Mckinley act IN force, a general
state of prosperity and JOY would
abound. The Sherman act was re-
fpealed, the Mckinley act has
remained in force, but what, oh
what have become of the republi-
can promises.

The one thing that New Mexico
needs just now above all others is
statehood. This she can help to
get for herself by working for it..
The other things that she needs she
is powerless to aid IN getting till
she ceases to be a Territory and
becomes a state. With statehood
she will have a voice and votes on
the silver question, on the tariff
issue, on arid lands and irrigation;
while without statehood she must
sit on one side and let others have
their uninterrupted way on these
questions so vital to herself. With
statehood people and capital who
are staying away from a territory
will come in. The only way for us
to get statehood is TO act as the

parties did at Santa Re, l. e.: Lay

The Enterprise says: "Who Ire
the people meant by the scurril-
lous epithet "voting sheep herds?"
in making a quotation from the
Santa Fe New Mexican. Is the
Enterprise 30 unacquainted with
the political hitory of New Mexico
as not to know of the notorious
way in which the republicans stole
an election some years ago by
voting herds of sheep. And not
contented with voting them once
they were made "repeaters'' by
driving them around a hill and
voting them again as fresh herdsf
It is by such tricks as this that
New Mexico was formerly made to
appear republican. The indigna-
ton which the Enterprise works
itself into over this is ludicrous
and exposes its ignorance about
this Territory.

THE conventions so far held
throughout the United States have
shown a popular feeling in favor
of the present administration that
has been a surprise to those who
have taken their political views
from ultra political, republican
newspapers and disappointed de-
mocratic ofice-seekers. AS time
goes on and when the elections
come the surprise Of those who are
not watching the signs of the times
will be still further increased, for
straight democracy has taken q
firm hold on the people and is

THE state democratic convention
Of California passed some good,
strong resolutions last Thursday.
The platform endorses the admin
istration of President Cleveland,
declares devotion to the principles
ofthe national democratic platform
of 1892 and congratulates the peo-
pie upon the fact hat "notwith-
standing the open opposition Of
the republican party and the con-
duct of a few pretended democrats,
a substantial measure Of tariff
reform has been effected" The
financial plank of the platform
favors the retirement of all gold
coins and paper currency below
the denomination Of ten dollars
and the re-opening of the mints
TO the coinage of both gold and
silver on such basis as will main
tain their parity.

multiply to show that the German
policy toward importations from the
United States that in the end may
call for retaliation. The latest evil
ience is contained in a report to
the state department from United
States Consul Robertson at Hamburg.
He says that movement is being
set on foot by the imperial government
looking to the complete exclusion of
dried and evaporated apples from the
United States which are found to con-
tain more than the specified amount of
zinc, supposed to have been taken
up from the zinc frames on which the
fruit is dried. AS a result the trade
would severely suffer. The con-
sui suggests that fruit driers change
their methods and use wooden frames,
as it is all important that articles sent
from the United States to Germany
should be prepared in every direction,
so as to offer no grounds for complaint
on the part of either German officials
or competing dealers. such as must be
justly and successfully used to injure
or destroy our trade
Enclosures sent with the report from
our consular agencies show that at

WASHINGTON. Nov. 23.-J. w. Ellis,
lieutenant of Indian police in the In
dian territory, has written letter to
Secretary Smith, in which he points
out the difficulties that are encoun-
tered in checking the Cook gang and
other bands of desperadoes. He says
the deputy marshals and Indian po-
lice are not well enough paid to hunt
down desperadoes. The Indian po-
lice get SIS per month and cannot
afford to pay travelling and other
expenses out of that amount in pur-
suit of robbers. He says rewards are
offered for desperadoes, but not paid if
they are brought in dead. He suggests
the police be paid $50 per month and
expenses. Good men, he says. could
then be obtained and placed under the
direction of the Indian agent. who
would soon rid the territory of des-
peradoes. He says the Cook gang is
composed of two or three negroes and
fifteen white men.

Fit Tor cattle Grazing.
WASHINGTON, Nov. o3.-By executive
order, and in conformity with the
terms of the general act of June 5,
1884, number of useless military
reservations have been turned over by
the war department to the interior de-
partment for disposal under the laws.
These reservations are four on
Puget sound, namely: On the
west side of the narrows. at
south side of Gig harbor
entrance, $50 acres; on the west side of
the narrows, 637 acres; on the west side
of the narrows, south of Point Evans,
635 acres; on the south side of Gig har-
Dor at the narrows, 559acres. In South
Dakota. Fort Sully reservation, con-
tanning 25,9s4 acres; in Arizona, Fort
Bowie reservation, 5000 acres: in
Wyoming, Fort Mckinney reservation,
3, 1875 acres; in Oklahoma, Fort Supply
reservation, 40, $40 acres.
FIT ONLY FOR CATTLE GRAZING.
GUTHRIE, Ok, Nov. 23.-The Fort
Supply military reservation, which has
just been turned over to the secretary
of the interior and opened to white
settlement, is located in Woodward
county in the extreme northwest end
of the Cherokee strip. 1t comprises
~ miles square or 10000 acres. The
country in most parts is rugged and
given up to cattle ranges. One cattle
ranch thereon is 20 miles square, in
closed in fence. The country is only
fit for grazing purposes. The federal
troops were removed from Fort Supply
two months ago. The reservation con-
tains some of the finest officers build
ings in the west, with complete sewage
system and all modern appointments.
The usual rush by homesteaders will
be made for the new Eldorado, but it
is thought cattlemen will get the best
tracts of lands.

GALVESTON, Tex. Nov. 22-The gov

west have been partially crowned
with success long before any one eX-
pected it and now large vessels, draw
ing over II feet of water. are able to
pass through the new channel. 1t is
confidently predicted that in the near
future there will be Is feet of water on
the bar where before there was shall
low water. Further, the bar which eX-
tended ; 4 miles in 1891 is now less than
i mile wide and the tides are wash
ing this away steadily.
The great jetties are not nearly fin
ished as yet. but when they are there
is absolute reason to believe that the
harbor here will be accessible to the
greatest vessels in the world. 1t is said
that the North German Lloyd and
Hamburg-American lines will establish
packet systems to this port. This will
be of incalculable benefit to Kansas.
Missouri and Nebraska because of the
nearness of deep water to them.
