Statehood.
With her undoubted natural resources
and everything pertaining to her fitness
for statehood, If New Mexico is not ad-
mitted into the union of states, then
every state in this commonwealth should
be thrown back into territory San

Its Coming.
Reports from all the gold camps in
New Mexico indicate that, before the year
ends, New Mexico will be close to the top
of the list of gold producers in the United
States. "'Tis consummation devoutly
to be wished. Roswell Register.

Clayton, N. NJ, was the first town in
New Mexico to send reinforcements to
Gen. Kelly at Des Moines, Iowa. Hurrah
for Clayton, Union county, N. NJ. Some

Democracy III Grant.
With no factional feuds in the ranks
and no personal grievances among the
leaders, the Democratic party will carry
Grant county this fall "without the loss
of one." The campaign bids fair to be a
good one and success never was as pro
pitious as now. Exorbitant fees and
high salaries have impoverished the vot-
ers of this county long enough and the
Democratic central committee is already
on record for sustaining the retrenchment
law passed by the last legislature in this
City Sentinel.

Rocky Mountain Agriculture.
The Alamosa Courier gives the follow
ing as the largest yields of crops ever
recorded in the San Luis valley: Wheat
raised by Ed. Stewart on the Excelsior
farm in 1891 reached S94 bushels on a
picked acre, accurately measured. Oats
yielded 112 bushels on picked acre in
a field on W. O. Cyle's farm, eight miles
west of Alamosa in 1891. Potatoes reach
ed the highest notch on an acre of R. A..
Chisholm's patch, near Del Norte, which
became famous by winning a $500 prize
offered by the American Agriculturist.
The acre yielded 847 bushels, and was the
best in the United States.

Wants the Republican Party to Have
Rest.
1t has so often been charged against
Mr.. Catron and his followers that they
have nothing else in their brains but sell
fish motives, that now is time when they
can show to the people and the Republi-
can party that they are Republicans and
politicians fer other reasons than revenue
only. 1t has been so often charged
against them, and acknowledged by them,
yes boosted of by them, that they have
and will bolt unless their desires and
wishes are to be considered first, and be-
fore the Republican party's, that now is
a time whom they can show it to the party,
that they are Republicans, and will sup
port the ticket, even if they are not all on
the ticket. The person to set the example
ought to be Mr.. Catron himself. Some of
the newspapers of New Mexico are hint
ing that Mr.. Catron might run for dele
gate to congress on the Republican ticket.
Now, Mr.. Catron ran last time on the Re-
publican ticket and made very strong
run, he showed that he was hard, strong
fighter for place and position, something
which no one doubted, it was also expect
ed that he would win; but he did not, and
we now think that it would be an i'll
advised move for him to run again. We
doubt if he could show as much strength
this time as he did last time, and persons
aided him before, who it would be diff
cult in our opinion to gain as supporters
this time. Give the Republican party a
rest Mr.. Catron, and also give it your
strong support with that of your follow
ers, and when you come out at some future
time as candidate you will have gained
many more supporters.-Chloride Black
