STATEHOOD HOPES.

SIN regard to New Mexico, it may be
said that the people of that territory
should agree among themselves concern
ing the conditions under which they may
seek admission, for discussion might
prove an obstacle to the passage of an
enabling act. Every man in New Mexico
work heartily to accomplish that result"
The above from the Denver Republ-
can shows kindly sentiment but the
trouble is that New Mexicans have little
to do with the subject of admission. The
rank and file in both the Democratic and
Republican parties, aye, even the Popu-
lists, admit that New Mexico is all right
but for one thing-and that is her friend
illness to silver. In the late senate there
was straight silver majority, and, if
this majority had been able to see its
way clear to act, questionably the New
Mexico and Arizona enabling acts would
have gone through, but there were two
very decided obstacles in the way. One
was that, under the existing rules, the
United States senate is practically at the
mercy of one or two men, and another is
that these one or two men were on deck
in the shape of gold bug Republicans
openly declaring that they would kill the
statehood bills if they were called up, be-
cause their success would help silver's
cause. Under these circumstances, there
fore, either the senate's effete method of
transacting business must be changed or
New Mexico and Arizona must defer all
hopes of statehood until the silver issue
shall have been settled. Republicans will
never admit US as long as the silver
problem remains unsolved.

would say that paper is the only one in the
territory publishing full Geographic re-
ports of the news of the world. The
New MEXICAN could not have published
the address on the date mentioned with
out reprinting the same from the col
umns of of the Morning Democrat. The
lattor's editorial comments, it is hoped,
will always be intelligent and indepen-
dent. It's editor realizes the force and
probable results of the expressions made
public by the league in its convincing
address to the people of this country and
is thoroughly in touch with the spirit of
que Democrat.
Surely here Is occasion for a horse
laugh, since the Albuquerque Democrat
printed the aforesaid address twenty -four
hours after it had appeared in every
other morning journal in the country.
And as for editorial Endorsement"
why, pray, should Democratic journal
like the NEW MEXICAN give its editorial
Endorsement to such mongrel, anti
Democratic movement as this Populistic
manifesto issued by and under the au.
thority of those ex-Republican trimmers
Senators Jones and Stewart? Not much!
Count the New MEXICAN as straight Dem
ocratic all the time.
