ACCORDING to the general
idea Of republican government,
the judicial department was
constituted for the purpose of
interpreting the law and decid-
ing whether certain laws are
constitutional, the executive
department being charged with
the duty Of seeing that the law
is properly executed. Gov. Gull
berson does not seem to regard
the matter in this light, how
ever, and when the courts don't
agree with him, he refuses to
accept their Interpretation.
Such, at least, seems 10 be his
determination in regard to
Judge Hurts decision on the
prize tight question. While
THE HERALD does not believe
that Texas or the city of Dial

upon such gate receipts as may
be paid 10 see the proposed
contest, and while it does not
blame the governor for wishing

high plane as other states which

THE HERALD does not believe
that President Cleveland wants
to spend another fonr years in
the white house, but the coun-
try would not lose anything

7oters, decide that
he shall do so.

opposed to seeing Cleveland
reelected. If they keep on
pointing out why he should
not be renominated, the people
may turn in and do it, just to

IRRIGATION CONVENTION.
San Antonio Express.

san Antonio Express.
The second annual convention
of the Texas Irrigation Associa-
ton has been,called to meet in
San antonio Nov. u for the
discussion of such business as
will properly come before it.
1t is TO be hoped that even
greater interest will be taken
in this convention of 1895 than
one 1894. 4 large represent
alton from every portion Of the
State is earnestly desired by
those having this matter at
heart and there is every reason
to believe that their hopes will
be fulfilled.
The work of the last conven-
ton is still fresh in the minds
of the people and its effect for
the good will be permanent
upon the Development of the
State. The water law that was
passed by the State Legislature
last winter was a direct out
come OF the work of the legis-
iative committee appointed at
the last irrigation convention
and the countless irri CATION
enterprises now nnder way are
a direct outcome of that law
and Of the interest and inform
alton spread abroad at the same
gathering.
The convention of1895 should
be of still greater importance
and value TO the people Of IeX-
as for 4 hundred delegates can
now attend who can impart
useful information gained by
experience to the brethren in
the cause to tie one who could
do so last year.
ne Express hopes that every
newspaper in Texas will not
only print the call. bat urge
the attendance Of good sized
delegations from every com
munity conserved. 1t is mat
ter Of far more concern than
politics this year for nothing
can be gained by political
agitation at this time, bat a
great deal can be gained by
persistent agitation of the wis
dom and eventual necessity Of
nroviding an artificial water
supply for The semi arid region

LAST NIGHTS SPEAKING.
A Regular First Ward Crowd Have II
Rally.

A worthy and politically intoxicated
crowd assembled last night on the corner
of Second and Colorado streets, some to
listen to- and others to disturb, the repre-
sentatives of the different candidates for
the Office of mayor. A brass band was
in attendance and although 1t furnished
music at frequent intervals 1t was not
sufficient to allay the unbounded entbu-
siasm Of the crowd for their respective
candidates, and high above the strains of
the band could be heard voices crying
out the names of their favorite cadidates.
The speakers were all col0red men, and
barring few curiosity seekers, the crowd
was composed of the denizens of the
First ward.
l. J. Fontaine presided and after calling
the crowd to order introduced N. II. Map
son the principal speaker of the evening
who proceeded in surprisingly eloquent
manner to advocate the election of Mr..
Hancock. The speaker mentioned some
objections that had been urged against
Mr.. Hancock and ably answered them
He said that the negroes as class were,
to impulsive, and in q contest like this.
were not prone to let reason guide. The
negro should work along with the prop
erty owners Of the city for its best inter
ests for what would develop the city,
would also help them. He plead with.
the colored people present to carefully
consider the interests at stake, and not
be led astray by statements that could
not be carried out or substantiated. As
the speaker was concluding his speech
the crowd became so boisterous that IL
was impossible to hear anything. An
attempt was then made TO remove the
boisterous element to some other part of
the ward and the. plan practically sue
1nA hstf rxf<h to- IL
make It exceedingly embarrassing for the
other speakers.
Jim Haynes spoke in the interest of
Mr.. Shipe while Ike Anderson thought
it would be calamitous to elect any one
other than Mr.. Brush.

The labor of caring for an enormous
fltering plant is very great, and the cost
of maintenance very large; while sys-
tenn of settling reservoirs would be of
extreme simplicity and cost but little to
operate. Moreover, the water company
has got to provide for a consumption
vastly greater than that which is now
served and the expansion of the reservoir
system can be carried on indefinitely.
The problem of the water supply of
New Orleans is one of the most i'm
portant and urgent that demands So
luton by the authorities and people of
a peremptory and authoritative de-
mand will be made on the water COM

matter in time

FOUND A MARES NEST.

The success of the NEW MEXICAN under
the management which assumed control
of the plant just one year ago on the lst
of the present month has long been
thorn in the side of the Albuquerque
daily press. Elsewhere throughout the
whole territory, aye, throughout the en-
tire southwest, the press has generally
accorded the NEW MEXICAN fair play, rec
ognizing it's endeayors to make clean,
fair, fearless, Democratic newspaper;
some have seen fit to refer to the New
MEXICAN as the leading paper of the ter
ritory, and now and here We want to &C.
knowledge again the fealty of the weekly
press; but ever have the Albuquerque
dailies been m ost spitsful in their refer
ences to this journal. No opportunity
has been lost to vent their spite. Only a
little while ago the Albuquerque Citizen
repeatedly stated that on the first of the
year the New MEXICAN would change
hands and become once more the vicious
Republican organ it once WAS, but time
easily proved the Citizen liar just as it
always does.
Now we find the Albuquerque Demo
I crat harping upon somewhat the same
strain. 1t is plainly envious of the New
MExIoAN's success and gladly cuckoos
the sentiments of the New MExloAN's en-
emles when it says:
"There 10 soon to be a meeting OF
stockholders Of the NEW MEXICAN Print
ing company. 1t is said number of the
leading Democrats who have contributed
largely to the support of the institution
wish an accounting of and report on the
business done by the shop"
This is all right upon its face, but be-
tween the lines appears an animus that
is SO full of mean, low and dirty
things as to appeal only to our most dis.
tinguished contempt. .-.....
And what of it? Does the Albuquer-
que Democrat hope to gain any sort OF
decent consideration from Democrats as
a result of such "a meetlng?"
For the benefit of this excrescence on
western journalism we would state that
the stockholders of the New MEXICAN will
find that business in this ''shop" is con
ducted strictly upon business principles
no Matchmaking goes-and the annual
balance sheet which occupies place in
the great safe of the NEW MEXICAN office
will give them all the information they
desire, with the balances on the right
side.

PROMINENT politician made the cold
statement on the streets of this city the
other day that the first two United States
senators from the state of Now Mexico
would be Richard G. Kerens, of st. Louis,
and Thomas Benton Catron, of Santa Fe.
He added that, while Mr.. kerens was now
resident of Missouri, there was ample
time for him to become eligible to a
senatorial seat before this territory at
tanned statehood under Delegate Joseph's
enabling act, and that money would do
the reat. Stranger things have happened.
1t ia certain that the first two senators
from the state of New Mexico will not
be Democrats unless the Democratic
leaders harmonic their differences and
work together for the common good. A
house divided against itself is bound to
fall

petent and faithful men, solely because
they have quit the service of some other
employer. He wisely holds that such a con
spiracy should no more be tolerated by law
than should conspiracy of employees
against employers. This issound doctrine
1t ought to be more generally preached by
the press, the pulpit and all right minded
people who address the public.
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1895-01-17

IT is singular how many people there
are, among Democrats, who profess to
have the good of the party at stake, who
fail to remember that newspaper which
supports the cause of Democracy is not
everybody's free institution. In the past
the New MEXICAN has been most generous
1T natural instincts are always that way
but in future it will exercise no scru-
Piles in taking note of the reciprocity
idea of doing business politically as well
as commercially.

HORTICULTURE.

California law makers appreciate the
fact that horticulture is an industry Of
much import to thewest. To-day comes to
the NEW MEXICAN, with the compliments
of Secretary R. ". Lelong, of the state
board Of agriculture, volume that con-
stitutes one of those things which makes
every Californian proud of his state; it
is the fourth biennial report of the state
board of horticulture, publication OF
45s pages, handsomely illustrated, and
chock full of such information as is most
dear to the heart of the fruit growing
farmer. We wish that every member of
the present New Mexico assembly could
have glance at this splendid publica-
ton In order that he could thereby have
ocular proof of what other great fruit
growing sections of the west are doing
toward promoting an industry which
New Mexico, by reason of her superior
climatic advantages, must ever count as
among her chief elements Of productive
wealth,
