A THREAD-BARE HOWL.

Spain defends the attempt to hold
Cnba in bondage on the ground that the
Cuban people are not capable of self
government This is the same old thread
bare howl that the strong always put up
when the weak demand Justice. Great
Britain said it when American independ-
ence was demanded Our own govern
ment said it when Texas fought for in
dependence. When Colorado asked for
statehood we heard it again, and again
when Wyoming, Montana and the Da-
kotas sought statehood the New England
sentiment, which dominates our national
affairs, yelled the same thing. They have
worked the same racket on New Mexico,
too, and up to date have made it stick,
but it's nevertheless monster fraud, a
delusion and makeshift ruse born only
of selfish interest.

Agriculture in New Mexico.

| There is enough irrigable land in the
territory to produce, if properly cult
waited, enough to maintain population
more than five times as large as the ter
ritory now contains. No section of this
country would increase more rapidly in
wealth than New Mexico, were it not for
the fact that millions of dollars are an
nually sent out to other states for the
products of the soil which might as we'll
be raised here if more attention were put
to irrigation. No finer wheat can be
raised than is produced annually in the
valley of the Rio Grande and the yield is
enormous, so great in some instances
that it hardly appears possible. The
average yield of wheat per acre in the
United States is less than fifteen bushels,
yet more than eighty bushels per acre
have been raised in New Mexico. The
prize paid for wheat here is nearly double
what is received by wheat growers IN
Minnesota and yet enough native wheat
can not be obtained to supply the mills
already in operation here. Two new
roller mills have been erected in the Rio
Grande valley this year and others would
be put up if wheat could be obtained to
keep them running. What is true of
wheat is true to a greater or less degree
of all of the products of the soil grown
in tenn perate or semi-tropical climate.
The building of storage reservoirs should
be encouraged in every possible way and
not drop of water should be allowed to
90 to waste in the territory.-Silver City

THE Springfield Republican has nomi-
mated Richard Olney to be the Democratic
candidate for the presidency. The Re.
publican says: "Olney is strong man
imperturbable, with reverence for law
and righteousness, ready and resourceful
in action, a gentleman always, with hon
esty, courage and boundless tenacity OF
purpose" The New MEXICAN is not
prepared to say that the Republicans
description of Mr.. Cleveland's secretary
of state is not accurate, but it thinks its
language pretty strong for a Republican
authority to use in speaking of Dem

ing the average first cost of water at $S,l5
au acre, and its present value at $26 an
acre, the difference, $l7.s5, may be as
sumed as the value of the water as it
flows in the stream. If one cubic foot a
second will water 100 acres, then the
value of one second foot is $l7S5. TAX
ing the figures given as the total quantity
of water probably available, 100000 sec
ond feet, the total value of this water is
$642,600,OOO. These figures obviously
have no claim to accuracy, but merely in
dictate that, calculated on the most con-
sentative basis, the water supply of the
arid country must be ranked among the
most important among its undeveloped
resources.

THE Albuquerque Citizen observes that
the New MEXICAN has done excellent
work in promoting the interests of the
national irrigation convention. In this
connection it may be remarked, in pass
ing, that the New MEXICAN is always and
continuously at work to promote every
enterprise having in view the upbullding
OF New Mexico. No pent.up Utica of
pure local interest obstructs the New
MExIoAN's vision when the welfare of the
whole territory-every part of it's at
stake. Its policy is to treat ali sections
absolutely just and further the good all
New Mexico as a whole.

TINE COST Of IRRIGATION WATER.

The last report of the geological survey
places the average first cost of water for
irrigation throughout the western states
at $S.15 an acre, while it's value, wherever
the right can be transferred without land,
is $26. The Denver Field and Farm has
applied these figures to the total acreage
under cultivation as shown by the last
census, and made some rather interesting
deductions. 1t finds that the total first
cost of irrigating the lands from which
crops were obtained in one year was $685.
6l1,000, and the total value of the water
right was $94,412,O0O, the increase of
value being 1854, SO1 COO, or 1887 per cent
of the Investment. The latter sum may
be taken as representing the value of the
supply utilized.
The average annual expense of main
tanning the water supply was $1.07 an
acre, or an aggregate of $3,794,OOO. this
being required in keeping the canals and
bitches in repair and free from sediment.
The estimated first cost of irrigated lands
from which these crops we're obtained was
$77,490,0O0, and their present value, in
GLIDING improvements, $296,S50000,
showing an increased value of $2l9,36O,-
600, or 2S3.0S per cent of the investment
in the land, not taking into consideration
the water. The average value of the crops
raised was *11.s9 an acre, or total of
$53,057.0O These figures have been in
tro5uced to exhibit the cost and value of
irrigation in the arid regions.
The value of the unutilized water sup
ply can scarcely be estimated until more
accurate information IS obtained con.
corning the total amount of water and
the acreage that il can be made to cover.
BY making certain assumptions, however,
a rough estimate can be arrived at. TAX

A JudiciOus selection.

Hon. q. A. Richardson has been ap-
pointed by Gov. Thornton one of the re-
gents of the college of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts at Las Cruces. Gov. Thorn
ton has made a judicious selection, one
which will prove of much benefit to the
college. Mr.. Richardson will undoubtedly
throw his influence toward removing the
management of the college as far as pos
sible from the muddy pool of politics or

by LIE Grande, who drew rapidly away
and won easily, Grey Duke coming up
strong and finishing second, with Ixion
third by nose.
Gee Whiz won the second race in fine
style, with Readina. who ran well, second
and Wanda T. third.
Tha third found Guard a prime favorite
at even money. The talent and horsernen
all possessed Guard tickets, and his sue
cess, as indicated by the plunge was
assured. Some few had Treveylan. one
of the Norris string, and backed him
heavily an action which the result justi-
fled. The race was well contested, Trevey-
Ian winning in a drive, with Black Hawk
second and Guard third.

Brennan. representative from Fulton

advocating legislation through the me
dlum Of hand-biIs distributed on the
desks, comes 10 the front again In the

IN speaklng Of his scheme Mr.. Brennan
said this afternoon that he believes il is
far superior 70 that of Mr.. Carlisle or any
of the others that have been presented.
AS Mr.. Brennan splan is quite lengthy
ana somewhat ambiguous to the ordinary
reader, no synopsis can do it justice. It
has the value OF uniqueness, however, as
the following taken from the title page
Of the pamphlet viii Indicate: ITO the

A oolored Man Shot to Death at Els
Own Door.


syIvania, Screven County. Ca, Jan. 5
George BeIinger a well known col
ored man and democratic speaker, was
shot down in his yard and killed instant
~ yesterday at his home, near Black
Creek, this county. The shooting was
done by two white men. and occurred
about o'clock in the afternoon. 1t was
done in broad, open daylight, without
any attempt at concealment or disguise,
and without any word being spoken or
a warning given.
The two men who did the shooting
drove UP to the house of a white man
named Foss, who lived about sen yards
from here Bellinger lived. They talked
to Foss for a few minutes and then start
ed toward Bellinger, who was in his lot at
the time. They were both armed with
shot guns The negro saw them coming,
and. suspecting danger, tried to get out
of the way. But they shot him down with
buckshor as he ran, and then fired
load into his head after he was dead.
They then cot into the buggy and drove
off. Beliueer's wife was standing in the
door of the house and saw the whole
tragedy The men We're strangers to her
and she did not recognize them.
George Belnger was an active campaign
worker for the democrats two years ago,
and also in the election just passed. He
was an influential man among his color.
and was often threatened by the popu-
lists Especially have they wanted him
since the unfortunate BROKER and Zeig-
Ter shooting ARRAY which occurred on
the Sylvania train several months ago.
For Beuinger was present then. and it
was on his account that the difficulty
started which resulted in the shooting
of Sheriff BROKER and the killing of
George Zeigler, He was hunted Tor sew
eral days after that. and took refuge
across the river in Carolina. He returned
a week ago. only to fan at last in his
own yard. a victim to the vengeance Of
his pursucrS.
