PRESS COMMENTS.
Justice Demanded for the Farmer.

Justice Demanded for the Farmer.
Now that the legislature of New Mexico
is Democratic; let its solons work for the
interest of the laboring class and their in
terests. We in the name of the people of
the northern part of Eddy county, call
the attention of Councilman Curry and
Representative Hinkle to the necessity of
enactlng a law compelling corporations
to regulate their water rights for irriga-
ton in this territory. Corporations
should be compelled to furnish water 20
all those to whom they sell water rights,
and upon failure to do so, they should be
liable to the party injured for damages.
There is no such law at present upon our
territorial statutes. Such a law is a
necessity where the agriculturist depend
on irrigation for the products of the soil,
and the water 81 stem should be SO regu-
lated that every farmer should receive his
prorata of water, the same depending
upon the area of land under cultivation,
and certain day should be fixed upon
which such farmer or farmers are to use
the same. By such law great deal of
ill feeling and perhaps bloodshed may be
avoided Eddy Independent.

the PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Under Republican finance laws the
Wall street sharks are still hammering
the life out of the governments supply
of gold. This process is made easy under
the acts which John Sherman, Morrill,,
Lodge, Frye, ct al have taken pains to
frame and work shrough congress during
the last thirty years, and as result the
coutry finds itself to-day face to face
with one of the most serious problems in
American history. Certainly the situa-
tion must be far worse than most of us
have ventured to bring ourselves to be-
lieve, otherwise President Cleveland
would never have sent to congress so re-
markable document as that which ap-
peared in full in the NEW MExIoAN's
Washington dispatches on Monday.
The president is evidently very uneasy,
and the message, while dlgnifed, candid
and able, displays sentiment and So
licitude for the safety of the country that
is little short of pathetic. That congress
must do something to overcome the re-
suits of the existing laws touching
finance-that it has been recreant to a
trust in not doing 80 long ago-becomes
moro palpable than ever in the light of
this latest message.
And in it, too, is light for the silver men.
Mr.. Cleveland's old time hauteur in deal
ing with the white metal is gone. He
says in effect, do the best you can do for
silver, consistent with the public credit
and national honor, but at all events pro-
vide gold. The message is an admission
that the silver men have an opportunity,
while aiding in preserving the national
credit at critical time, to accomplish a
very great deal toward bringing about a
freer use of silver. We believe the mes
sage will be followed by good results. Let
the silver men stand firm, yet exercise a
patriotic and just discrimination in their
demands, and the country will be the
rainer

the UTE RESERVE.

The signs all indicate that, should the
Ute removal bill become law by receiving
the presidents signature, there will be a
rush for homes in the 100000 acre tract
to be thrown open. 1t is a productive,
well watered section, and there are likely
to be irrigation and town enterprises
galore. New Mexicans must keep their
speculative eyes on that section. Its set
Element will serve to stimulate business
and social relations between Colorado
and New Mexico and should 10000 or 49,
900 thrifty settlers find homes there, as is
now confidently predicted by the Colo
RADIO press, the effect will be the building
up of splendid market for the agricul-
tural products of the San Juan, Espanola
and other northern New Mexico valleys.

MAYOR STRONG, of New York, has

MAYOR STRONG, of New York, has ap-
parently adopted the German plan of
regulating saloons. He recommends
that liquor sellers be permitted to keep
their places open from 2 p. m. till II p.
m. on Sunday, under an arrangement
that they will not attempt to keep their
back or side doors open during any
other hours on that day. This will hardly
meet the approval of rigid Sabbath OBJ
servers, but it is questionable whether it
would not be better to allow the saloons
to have their front doors open nine hours
on Sunday than to have their back doors
open all day long. Experience has
plentifully proved that the back door is
worse than the front door.

CERTAIN Republican newspapers, whose
editors have never forgiven President
Cleveland for removing them from COM
Portable federal positions, continue to
criticise the administration for not keep
ing one ore more United States war ships
stationed at Honlulu. President Dole, of
Hawaii, takes different view of the case.
He was able promptly to suppress the
incipient rebellion without outside inter-
ference and expresses qualification that
no war ships were there. President Dole's
testimony on the subject ought to be
worth something.
