The silver sentiment of Utah, Arizona
and New Mexico does not, in itself, fur
nlsh a good reason for barring their ad-
mission to statehood, but it will very
strongly tempt Cleveland to veto the ad-
mission bills, nevertheless. Globe Dem

The silver sentiment should make US

A WASHINGTON dispatch under date
of Jan. 2, states that Mr.. Juan S. Hart
editor of FL Paso Times, is in that city
interviewing the authorities on the
legality of the act prescribing his paper
and forbidding its entrance TO Mexico.
Il had been Mr.. Harts intention to lay
the facts before the state department
and seek the Intervention of the govern
ment, but before dong SO he was given
assurances by Senator Romero, the
Mexican minister that the circulation of
the paper would in no wise be interfer-
ed with in the future. Thus abruptly
ends what promised TO be an interna-

able editor, are to be congra .ulated on
their victory. The Times won friends

New MEXICO stOckmen have awakened
to the fact that it is bslter TO market
cattle on maturity instead of waiting for
the fluctuations of the markets, and
thus avoid overstocking the ranges and
the consequent loss therefrom. IL the
cattle of the southwest which were left
on the ranges for increase during the
palmy days Of the cattle business, had
been marketed, leaving only the original
number of stock, the loss from drouth
and short grass, which has been felt so
heavily the past two years would never
have occurred and there would have
been reserve funds in the pockets OF the
cattIeman to tide them over any small
reverse they might sustain in the
marketing of cattle during temporary
depression in the industry.-Silver City

SENATOR DoLPH OF Oregon has in
troduced a bull in congress that, If
passed, will be of Incalculable benefit
to many of the states and territories
west of the Mississippi. The bill pro-
poses that every state and territory
may issue irrigation bonds, as a Sc
curity for loan from the United States,
of cash not to exceed $500 600 annually
to say one state or territory, and not to
exceed Sl0,OO0,000 to any state. The
bonds are to bear interest at one per
cent, running for fifty years. The bill
also provides, that lands benefited by
this act, and the title not having passed
from the United States, shall be taxed
pro rata, acre for acre, for wdt9r rentals

The Mexican Trader says: The
acton of the Mexican press in conuec-
ton with the Adams case is worthy Of
the highest concentrations. 1t demon
str6tes what We have often said that
foreigners are sure of fair, not to say
generous treatment, in this country.
Adams was convicted of the murder of
a Mexican waiter, the defense raised
being insanity. Medical evidence was
entirely in favor Of the prisoner, but
the Judge, who duty il was to decide
the point, ignored that feature of the
case, or, at any rate, did not attach any
great weight to it. Then the prosecut-
ing attorney endeavor to excite preiu-
dice against the prisoner on account OF
his American nationality. Both points
have been strongly take up by the
Mexican press In the prisoners favor.
and no doubt the conclusion arrived
at by the trial judge will be reversee on
appeal. We merely mention the circum-
stances in order to show foreigners that
they need have no fear of securing fair
and just treatment in Mexico, both
from its courts and its people.

STATEHOOD BILLS.

the Views of Western Men.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-Representative
Wheeler, of Alabama, chairman of the
committee on territories, has been busily
engaged throughout che holiday recess
with his correspondence upon the bills
to admit New Mexico and Oklahoma to
the Union. He said today: Democrats IN
the western part of the country, and es-
pecially in the territories involved, write
urging that congress pass the Oklahoma
bill, and make it include the whole of
the Indian country, on the ground chat
then the new state will be reliably
democratic. But these persons. it
seems to me, overshoot the mark There
is no indication that the civilized
Indians want to come into the Union,
and if a Democratic congress, against
their wishes. pass a statehood bill, l
fear that effect will be to turn them
against the Democratic party"
"Will the Oklahoma bill go through
as an independent measure or as an
amendment to the New Mexican bill?"
was asked.
"Ob, l think each proposition will
stand by itself. The principal difficulty
with the Oklahoma dill comes from the
attitude of those directly interested in
It's passage. They are unfamiliar with
the WAYS of congress, and do not sp-
precia'e the fact that an arrangement
entered into upon the floor of the house
would not receive the sanction of the
country. The difficulties l think will
be overcome and the bills passed in due
time"

at Ottawa as the guest of the governor
general has resulted in a very readable

Aberdeen and his accomplished wife,

An Occasion OF Pleasure. Lovely
Women and Fine Clothes.

In her whole history Tucson probably
never had ball more largely attended
than the reception to the visiting
teachers last night. When the first
dancers were on the floor, the dancers
covering all available dancing space,
many yet were unable to find seats.l
The people were there to enjoy them
selves, though, and were good natured.
Bumps were frequent, but were always
laughed off.
The visiting teachers were of course
the feature of the evening. The ladies'
were lovely and intelligent. They threw
aside all thoughts of school and un-
bent to the degree of teing jolly. One
could scarcely reslIzeit was they who
often stand in grave dignity and iudg-

parents and awe-struck school trustees,
wear out preserved switches on yelling
schoolboys. Yet pinned on their
breasts were in startling blue and gilt

hearts instead of switches, and it is
evident were successful as usual.
The visitors seemed to enjoy them
selves, they said they did, and certainly
everything was done to make all plea
SAINT as possible for them.
The Tucson ladies were dressed in
their prettiest. Their handsome dresses
were another feature of the occasion.
Every hue and texture were in requisit-
lou to make their wearers charmingly
attired. The grand result was more fine
dresses than ever seen together In Tue
son.
The gentlemen were to large extent
lu evening dress.
The dancing was enjoyable, notwith-
crowded floor. The floor was
fairly good and the music, Rorstadt's
six pieces, left nothing to be desired
there. Many dances were encored. gen.
orally with good nstured responses Of
more music. Dancing lasted till 2:30
o'clock.
About II O'Clock, couple at time,
q good many of the party were seen to
disappear behind the big drop curtain
ON the stage. There could be seen g
strong coffee that set all in order for
three hours more of enjoyment.
Mrs. Crumb sang to her own accom-
to the delight of all hearers.
Mrs. Crumb is always encored, and GER

gave a couple of Jolly and apt selections.

RAILROAD DOINGS.

CERTAIN democrats in Arizona are al
ready tired of Governor Hughes, and are
doing all ID their power TO secure his re-
moval. The position of a governor in a
territory is not bed of roses.-Albu-

Yes, and the governor is just about as
tired of the dem ocrats as the democrats
are tired of him. But the light yield of

than the proverbial catawsullng
