WASHINGTON. July L.. The question
of the ownership Of several hundred
thousand acres Of la1d in Los Angeles

longing to the ruited States. will

The case involves the ownership Of
overlapping grants to the Southern
Pacific and Atlantic 4 Pacific railroads.
The former road. on the ground that
the Atlantic 4 Pacific road was never
built, took possession Of the lands.
The courts hold that the lands reverted
TO the United States. They will proba-

tnal judicial decision Is rendered

enough of the sorrowful result of Tues
days cloud-burst disaster to appeal to the
heart, aye, more, to the generous i'm
pulses of every citizen of New Mexico.
That there is need of outside help there
is no doubt. For two days and nights
the people of Socorro have been heroic
ally doing their best to minister to the
wants of the sufferers and have taxed
themselves in pocket to care for the des-
titute. Up to noon yesterday it was
hoped by them that they could among
themselves meet the emergency of the
occasion in providing for the comfort of
the victims, SO that it would not be nee
essary to ask relief from citizens of the
territory, but the disaster is so great and
the suffering 30 widespread among a
class of people unable to endure it and
live, that it was decided by the citizens
relief committee to inform the public
that aid would be accepted. The New
MEXICAN feels assured that their appeal
will not 60 unheeded.

PRESS COMMENT.
Reed Between Two Fires,

The overwhelming Republican ma ority
not be beneficial to the Republican party
1t ia much easier to restrain Demo
cratic than Republican majority.
am told that it is Mr. Reeds intention to
insist upon the Republicans of the next
house making record for economy. Mr..
Reed will probably bevery powerful with
his party, but no Republican chief has
yet been able to induce or compel Re-
publican aiority to practice economy
in the public expenditures. 1t is not
likely either that Mr.. Reed will have
things his own way in the next house as
completely as he did in the 51st congress.
Mr.. Reed ia a presidential candidate, and
there will be friends Of Harrison, Nc
Kinley, Allison, Morton, Cameron and
other presidential possibilities in the
next house. 1t will be the most natural
thing in the world that the friends of
the other candidates should try to pre-
vent Reed from making capital for HIM
self. When it is remembered, too, that
Reed has an intense personal hatred of
Harrison and Mckinley, it may be sur
missed that the friends of these men will
see to it that while Reed may be speaker,
he can not be car. And while the Dem
ocrats have had very nearly a monopoly
of the discussion of the money question
since the adjournment of the last con-
gress, it is entirely probable that the
Republicans will be forced to take hand
when congress convenes.
The representatives of all the silver
producing states in the next house will
be either Republican or Populist, mostly
Republican. The political future Of
these men depends upon the silver ques-
ton. The free coinage of silver is more
to them than Republicanism, Democracy
or Populism. They must make a record
in order to satisfy their people. And I'M
less the Republican house of representa-
tives desires to drive six or seven or
dinarily reliable Republican states out of
the party, the silver question must re-
ceive decent treatment. Herein lies
Reeds danger. He must either go to
war with the silver men or become friend
of theirs early in the game. AS speaker
of the house he can not assume an indif-
ferent attitude. The silver men will be-
gin by demanding voice, and very
large voice, in the construction Of the
committee on coinage, weights and meas
ures. If Reed ignores them, the war will
begin. If he satisfies them his eastern
followers will begin to storm. Nobody
sees the situation more clearly than Mr..
Reed, and friend of his informed me a
few days ago that the ex-speaker would
do much if he could avoid the speaker
ship OF the next house without attracting
the attention of the American people.
The fact is, however, the friends of Nc
Kinley and Harrison and Allison are
more anxious to put Reed in the speak
er's chair than are Reeds own earnest
political friends Washington Cores
pondence st. Louis Republic.
