A few PLAIN WORDS.

The New MEXICAN notices with some
interest that one or two of its excitabls
Republican contemp oraries are denounc
ing rs "a contemplate threat" the Oft
repeated statement made in these columns
that, unless New Mexico goes Democratic
this fall, it will not be admitted as
state at the winter session of congress.
The conduct of the aforesaid contempor-
aries in this matter, in thus being indis-
posed to hear the truth, puts them in the
category of those foolish children who
place their fingers in their ears rather
than listen to what they do not wish to
hear.
In the performance of the duty which
we owe the people of New Mexico in this
matter, however, we shall not in the least
abate our energies because our state
ments are distasteful to the stool pigeons
of New Mexico Republicanism.
The NEW MEXICAN, as our constant
readers all know, is not in favor of state
hood because it will help Democracy; it
is in favor of Democracy because its sue
cess will, among other things, insure
statehood. We have no part nor parcel
in that blind partisanship which Is pre-
pared to sacrifice the welfare of great
territory for the qualification of personal
tb,, of
ambition of few bosses. The advocates
of such a course-and the utterances of
the said Republican editors place them
in that division of politicians pros
titutors Of principle and, as such, are de-
serving of execration and contempt. We
conceive it our duty and our privilege on
such occasions as this to warn the people
of New Mexico of the importance of the
issue thus drawn between those who de-
sire material prosperity and statehood
and those who desire only the advance
ment of selfish ends. If, in 80 doing, the
peanut politicians consider a presenta-
ton of the bject ga contemplate
threat" we have thereby only another
evidence of the condition of the political
atmosphere in which Republicanism in
New Mexico lives and moves and has it's
mercenary being. AS the aforesaid edi-
tors are seldom actuated by an honest
political motive, we are not surprised
that they have difficulty in recognizing
one when it is thrust before them. AS
we have before said.
New Mexico's best and only friend
at this time is, in our opinion, De-
mocracy. Through its votes we can
obtain statehood this winter and
through its legislation we will have I'M
precedented prosperity thereafter. We
realize, in writing these lines, that the
local patriots for pelf have tuned their
organ to another key. The people of
New Mexico, however, have great powers
Of Discrimination; and the November
votes, when counted, will show that a
large majority have aligned themselves
firmly upon the side of Democracy, state
hood and prosperity.
