The following special dispatch to the Globe-Democrat indicates that the New Mexicans are already donning their war paint for the coming RepEbli- can National convention: Delegate Thomas B. Catron, of New Mexico, had not been in Washington "A hours until he had begun work on the admis- sion of New Mexico. He has already formed a pretty close idea of the com position of the committee on territories and believes he will get the bill favor ably reported very soon after the holi- days. New Mexico will have six dele gates in the next Republican National convention, and five of them will be foI Thomas B. Reed.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

MT. Cleveland makes one astonish- ing, not to say astounding, statement in that part of his message devoted to the financial question This is no more nor less than the declaration that MT. Carlisle has no authority to issue bouds for the payment of current expenses of the government and that no portion of the proceeds of the bonds issued was devoted to such purpose. This utter ance is all the more remarkable, in view of the fact that MT. Carlisle him self has submitted to congress an un- euuivocal statement to the effect that a very large portion of the $50, 1000, 900 issue of bonds was used to defray cur rent expenses of the government and that the gold reserve was freely levied upon for funds devoted ito the same purpose. What then does Mir. Cleve- land mean by declaring that none of the proceeds of the sale of bonds was used to pay running expenses of the government?
 If the president had merely disa- vowed the official action of the secre- tary of the treasury, the matter would have been simple, though it would have been something unusual for a president to repudiate the act of cab inet officer, especially since there is every reason to believe that in an af- fair of such moment the action was not taken without the presidents full knowledge. But not content with placing the secretary in the light of having exceeded his authority, the president fatly impeaches him by making a statement which contradicts MT. Carlisle on question of fact. MT. Carlisle tells congress that current eX- penses were paid from the proceeds of the bonds; MT. Cleveland says not. Tn the language of a humble exponent of the histrionic art, land there ye are.''

IRRIGATED REGIONS.

Every thinking man knows that the
nations farms are becoming exhausted.
The area on which crops may be grown
without artificial irrigation is already
pretty we'll occupied. Dry farming is a
lottery. Irrigation means maximum crops
year after year, and no failures. The
great empires of earlier ages have been
founded on irrigation agriculture, but
Americans have hesitated and doubted
until crowded population now forces
them to it, and these people who are now
reaping marvellous profits from small
tracts are beginning to realize how much
better of they would have been decade
ago if they had known what necessity has
finally taught them.
In the next thirty years, says the Kan
sas City Star, 7O,OoO,0OO people must be
located somewhere, as the population
doubles every thirty years. Possibly the
farms of the older settled states may be
undivided and irrigated, SO making each
smaller farm more valuable than tho
original one, but as rule new people
seek new pastures. Moreover, agricul-
ture always is a far greater success in an
arid region, for within the limits of the
water supply conditions are favorable for
maximum plant growth. Arid America
embraces 1000, O00, 900 acres. OF this vast
area it is estimated that 1OO,OO0,OO0 acres
may be irrigated with the available water
supply, and this reclaimable area is esti-
mated to be capable of sustaining, d.
rectly and indirectly, three times the
present population of the Union, or 2lO,-
100000 people.
