THE TELEGRAPH LINE,

The Signal service department could
probably be induced to let the telegraph
line between Carthage and Fort Stan
ton remain for the use and under the
control OF the people here, provided that
n guarantee was given that after one year
it would be delivered to some railroad
station on 'hs denan Of the dapa r nant
Meesrs. Yankee and Johns have inter
viewed Capt. G 'ossford, in charge of the
department at Donver, aud were assured
that he would endorse their recommen.
dation on an application for such dis
posal OF the line. 1t would not coat a
largo sum to thus secure tho use Of this
line for year or more, and those iu
terested in the scheme should organize
and move in tho matter.

DOG IN THE MANGER.

We publish elsewhere dispatch sent
from Ell Paso announcing the organiza-
tion OF a company to bnlld the FL Paso
and White Oaks railroad. AS indicat-
ed this is move on the part Of tho Tex
RS and Pacific to discourage the building
Of the road proposed by Mr.. c. B. Eddy
and party. which it is thought will in
iure the traffic of the T. & P. It is the
same old scheme which has SO many
times defeated the road to White Oaks.
Whenever move has been made which
had any probability OF success in it,
there has been counter movement
from some source calculated to dis
courage and defeat the road to this
place. This counter movement
came from the Santa Fe interest for
some years and now it has been assumed
by the Texas & Pacific. There have
always been certain parties in El Paso
and White Oaks who have supported
the opposition to a road between these
two points, unless they were let into the
scheme to build. In addition to this
element there has been, and is now, a
class of moss backs in both places who
pull back on one pretense and another,
making this and that pretended excuse
for not aiding the enterprise, only be-
cause they want the benefit which such
a road would bring without contributing
toward the encouragement OF its con-
struction. They patch up all manner
of supposed objections, but behind it all
lies the desire on their part to have
their neighbors foot the bills, while they
will como in for their full share Of the
| advantages. This class includes some
Of the largest property holders in White
Oaks as well as El Paso, who would reap
rich harvests in the increased value of
property by the construction of the
road. They tell you that there is no
use in subscribing to this proposition
because some other concern is going to
build the road and they will not AID
that scheme for the reason that it will
not amount to anything.
| These moss backs have been found at
the front in opposition to every move to
get road here, and now they are en-
conraging the new scheme of the T. &
P to pour cold water on Mr.. Eddy's
attempt to connect this region with the
railroad markets. If the T. & P,
desired road to White Oaks, why have
they not extended their road already
begun long ago? They don't intend to
build, and the organization referred to
is only another Of the "dog in the
manger" moves which have universally
met proposition Of this nature.

UNNATURAL INFUSION.

President Cleveland says in his late
message to congress, that among the
causes of our recent financial disturb
ances, was the "uunatural infusion OF
silver into our currency" II this is
truly one of its causes it is altogether
probable that all the financial ills which
have befallen the country since the
adoption of the constitution, when
silver was first legally "infused," we've
due to this same agency, and the people
never before suspected it-nntll Mr..
Cleveland made the discovery. Ou,
people have thought for some years that
the president was an ablo statesman.
but the full extent of his knowledge and
research has never before been le-

STATEHOOD.

The reason we nrc in favor OF statehood, and
always haye been, is because it will bring new
blood into New Mexico and the coal, iron, salt,
lead, marble, and other mineral deposits in
this territory will be developed. New men
wi h new ideas will develop our water supply
the waste places will be built up, farming and
fruit raising will be stimulated and an era OF
prosperity will set in that will never come to
us while we are territory. .-Socorro Chieftain.
Why not add that we shall have more
sunshine, more foggy mornings, better
SOIL less subject to nervous prostration,
less liable to state fa1sehoods, our
mountains will be higher, our valleys
broader and more productive, our gold
mines will yield more lavishly and the
winds blow only when we want them for
a change. All these additions are just
as probable as tie things suggested by
the Chieftain as the results Of state.

FORT STANTON AGAIN.

The reply of the Secretary Of War to
Gov. Thornton's protest against the
abandonment OF Fort Stanton, seems to
be conclusive, and the army authorities
are agreed that the post is no longer
needed. Possibly the Secretary and
Commanding General regard the safety
and lives of the settlers in the vicinity
of the Mcscalero. A pache reservation as
of little consequence, and the swelling
of dress parades at the posts in and
about the large cities as of such impcr-
ative necessity that it must be met
even at the expense Of a few lives or
the loes OF homes and property.
Hardly had the ink, which outlined
the order for the vacation by the
military Of Fort Stanton, become dry,
when the wires brought us the account
of the murder OF the Merrill family in
Arizona, where they we're thought to be
as safe as any who are located near the
Mescaleros.
The government owes to the pioneers
OF the frontier the protection which
only the immediate presence of troops
can afford. Aud no false notions OF
economy will excuse it from bestowing
that protection from the wild and
savage tribes OF Indians which are per.
mitted to remain in the vicinity OF tue
white settlements.
1t may be that there is greater ne.
cessity for the presence Of troops at the
city parade ground than in the region
of Indian reservations wbere are con.
grega.ed these wards OF the govern.
mcut who, only few years ago wero
forced by the military to cease scalpipg
the white settlers, and who only eus-
pended these "pastimes" until the res
training influence Of tho troops in their
immediate vicinity are removed, but it
will require wider range OF vision or a
better insight into tho general fitness OF
things than is possessed by Western
frontiersman to see the reason for such a
policy.

the courts continue to decide as the one

every other enterprise in the territory.
The total value of the wool clip Of
the territory Of New Mexico, for 1889,
was less than 100000, as shown by
the official report Of Gov. Prince. That
OF 1890 was about Sl,500,0(e. In 1891,
s2,00O,O00.
In 1892 it amounted to 100000
The difference in the price of average
wool now and in 1891 and 1892 is close
to 8 cents per pound, 30 that il New
Mexico has suffered loss of 100000
as stated, there must have been wool
clip of about 100000 pounds as
against 100000 pounds for the years
1891 and 1892. And yet they tell US
that the sheep industry has been ruined.
Again the supposed los to the territory
is charged wholly against the new tariff
legisl alton, yet wool at this time is sell
ing in the markets at the same price at
which it sold in 1894 under high pro
tective tariff, and before there was a
probability OF that tariff being disturbed
by any adverse legislation.
Surely cause which requires such
absurd propositions to sustain it-pro-
positions which can appeal only to the
venality and prejudice of ignorant peo-
Pile and never TO reason-must be in a
desperate predicament and not worth
saving.

How He Fooled Post Trader In Arizona

The North American Indian may not
be readily susceptible to the influences
of civilization, but it frequently hap
pens that in business transactions he
is more than match for his highly
civilized white brother. Honesty is not
always Los "long suit" in such traas-
uctions, us story told by the Tucson
"a. T.) Citizen of Isaac d. Smith, post
trader on the Gila river 25 years ago,
illustrates. II was the business of the
post trader TO purchase the grain crops
of the Indians, giving in exchange such
merchandise as they fancied. One year
the natives had been blessed with an un-
usually abundant crop. AT short dis
tancc from the store wns lurge adobe

had been dumped loose from the sacks,
and il was almost full to the ceiling.
One day Smith was unusually busy, the
Indians standing in a row waiting TO
dispose OF their wheat, and it was not
till later that he learned lie had bought
5000 pounds Of his own grnin. The In
dinns had tapped his s,orehouse in the
rear. and AS the grain rushed out il was
caught in sacks and again marketed.

CLARKE WILL BE TRUSTEE

An Agreement Is Reached Which VIII
Doubtless Re Formally Closed.
MINNEAPOLIS, June l3.-N. P. Clarke
and his creditors have at last come to
an agreement that is looked upon with
favor by all parties concerned. The
big lumberman has made an offer to
settle all the claims against him on the
basis of 80 per cent Of the total amount,
80 cents to be secured and to be paid in
4. and 10 months, and the balance Of
20 cents to be paid in notes running l..
2 and years. The acceptance of
this proposition implies that Mr.. Clarke
will be given charge of the estate of
the insolvent N. P. Clarke & Co., and
and Assignee Kells will be dismissed.
All the creditors have confidence in the
ability OF Mr.. Clarke to manage the
property to better advantage than
could be done through the courts, and
the court will readily name him as
trustee when the creditors make a
unanimous request for it. Everybody
is pleased over the outcome of the con.
ference between Mr.. Clarke and the
creditors committee, for, had the as
Segment taken the usual course, an in
terminable litigation and a small divi-
dend would have been the inevitable
result.

ST. PAUL, June l8.-W. 81. Starbuoh,

day to attend the annual meeting Of

admitted that he had in his pocket the

the property. There seems to be no
doubt that the Starbuch interest will
carry the election. :
This fact is interesting in view Of
the inside report that President Hill

property. 1t is assumed that Mr.. Hill
casually thought Of owning the prop
erty, and that recently

was made to him. Many people who

made perhaps to arrange plans for TAX

is made somewhat plausible by the re-

Of the directors.
The property is overstocked. Henry
Wizards first Western venture was in
connection with the Oregon Improve
ment company, which he capitalized
enormously 10 or Is years ago and left
it toiling ever since. He is said to have
made between $2,O00,00O and 5000, 600
