Lopez family In San Miguel county. As
already stated in these columns, Sheriff
Lorenzo Lopez accounts for his present
term of office are in every respect correct.
The apparent shortage of $1,000 in his
official accounts which the expert com
mittee has recently discovered, and which
he claims to hold vouchers for, dates
back six years, and is matter that the
former Republican administration should
have dug up and acted upon, but, since it
failed to do SO, the matter now becomes
a question for the courts, not the present
executive, to decide. So also is it with
Jose L. Lopez. That is matter of long
standing that the former Republican
executive had not the nerve or the
energy to investigate, and now it be-
comes the duty of the court and the
court only to look after the case. These
facts are published for the particular
benefit of the few who may be misled by
statements touching San Miguel county
affairs that the partisan Republican
newspapers are circulating with the hope
of making little cheap political capital.

Statehood Prospects Frightening.

New Mexico is likely to be invested
with the full dignity of statehood by &C.
tion of congress some time in the near
future. There is one thing in her favor,
at all events; she has always been able to
maintain peace within her borders with
out calling on the Pinkertons or asking
for troops. 1t may be depended upon
that Gen. Wheeler, who is the chairman
of the committee on territories, will do
his whole duty toward getting that justice
for New Mexico which has been SO long
delayed by the partisanship of Republi-
cans.-Deming Headlight.

Itappears that the backbone of the
coal strike is broken. At any rate 5000
Pennsylvania miners have accepted the
compromise rate and this will go long
way toward settlement of matters. At

cause of lack of coal, and 100000 miners
are prevented from going to work be-
cause of this strike. If 100000 men GO
to work next week. which now seems
probable, the business of the country will
not be long in showinga marked improve

THE PEOPLES VOICE
Senators Present Many Petitions
Against the Tariff Bill.
Substitute for the Wilson Measure Sub
mitted by Mr.. Gallinger-Bills Passed
by the Lower House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. I'm the Senate
to-day. aside from Mr.. Gray's speech on
the Hawaiian controversy. the most inter
esting incident was the presentation, by
Senator Cullom. Of a petition signed by
thirty thousand wool-growers OF the West,
protesting against the wool schedule In the
new tariff bill. Among the petitioners were
the Navajo tribe of Indians, who own 1,5VO
sheep and are prospecting by" this industry.
Senator Cullom said he hoped the commit
tee on finance would give the petition due
consideration, as it was of an extraordinary
character and represented en- extensive in
dustry.
Petitions against free iron ore and free
lumber were presented by Senator Faux
ner.
Senator Pettigrew presented a resolution
directing the Secretary of Agriculture 10
report to the Senate the amount of wheat
i'm the country on March 3 last, the total
yield of the past year and the amount now
in the country. 1t was adopted.
Senator Cockrell presented a memorial OF
the ST. Louis Merchants Exchange declar-
ing that the present s~tagnation OF the
country is due to the uncertainty of con-
gressional action on the tariff question,
and praying that the matter be settled as
speedily as possible. Il am glad 10 see 10y
this memorial" said the Senator, thar
these petitions recognize the blunder they
made when they attributed all OF the ois-
tress of the country last summer 10 tne

A substitute. for the Wilson tariff 6tll
was presented by Senator Gallinger. IL de-
! clares that. in view of the widespread in
dustrial depression existing in our land
bringing disaster to the manufacturing IN
terests and loss of employment and sufrer-
ing TO the wage-earning classes. ii is un-
wise to make any changes in the tarif law

Sheen for Mutton.

1DllduSlpnla ESScOTl.
Much as may have been stated In regard
to the decline of the sheep industry, there
are some facts in regard to sheep which
should be made plain, and although the sup
ject has not escaped this department IN the
past, yet this is an excellent season of the
year to call attention to the future OF sheep
as the lambs are now coming IN, ana VIII
be ready for market in a few months. First,
il is important for some to know that the
sheep industry is separate II distinct from
the industry Of wool growing. Second. that
and is but a small portion of the value OF
good sheep. Farmers are selling their ewes
off as fast as they can get rid of them In
some sections, while wiser farmers, VINO
have given up wool for sheep, are going
into the sheep business on a more extensive
scale.
In order to produce the fine woods the
American farmers have given their atten-
ton mostly to the merino, which Is q very
small sheep, active, and well adapted 10
Scanty heritage. After the wool is removed
the carcass is too small to allow OF a fair
profit, while the lambs require too much
time to make sufficient growth in order to
reach the early market, the consequence
being but a small return for all-wool. NUT
ton and lamb. The size, quality and weight
of the sheep is sacrificed for but a scanty
fleece of wool. 1t is plain that no farmer
can make sheep pay who does not consider
the demands of the market. While some
are endeavoring to secure a few cents more
per pound on wool, which would not, even
at a great advance in prices, average over
% cents greater profit on the sheep, owing
to the inferiority of the lamb and mutton
of the fine-wOol animals, other farmers,
who give no value to wool at all, and can
really throw it away if they SO desired, are
making sheep ay.
Despite the claims Of some Of our farm
ers that there is no money in sheep (wooD,
the reports of the last fiscal year show that
Canada has sent over 100000 sheep TO this
country, and paid $3.50 per head on them
and 10 cents per head on lambs. But the
sheep were mutton sheep of the best quail
ity, and our farmers have not, as yet,
eQualed Canada or England in supplying
their markets with choice mutton. In fact,
but few people who buy in our markets
have ever seen such carcasses as are dis
played on English stalls, owing TO the culls
from wool sheep being shipped to the large
cities in place of the breeds which should
be used. A single lamb of the large mutton
breeds will bring more money than all the
mutton. wool and lamb of a merino COM
bined. England does not grow wool to n
extent, but every farmer keeps mutton
sheep, and keeps them on farms that rent
for more than the value of some farms in
this country. DO not sell your ewes, but
begin and grade up by using rams Of the
Oxford, Shropshire, Hampshire and other
largA breeds
