Zoo PfaqiGlS.

The Rustler calls it fake, and says
the DsPArcH CONES to the front
with u coek-and-bull story OF how an
Indian ia ned Natchez, came over to this
valley from the Pyramid Lake reserva-
zion, and hal an interview with Jack
Wilson, the In liam messiah" who de-
scribed the murderer OF Spanish Frank
and Frank Jones, who were murdered
in the Limbo mountains, last November.
indian Tom Mason, Il nephew OF Nat
chez, was seen by "A Rustler reporter
yesterday, and said Natchez had never
been in Mason Valley, and that Jack
| Wilson don't know more than other Pr
utes."
The Rustler is too previous entirely,
and We will wager from 500 up, that
Winnemucca Natchez says he went into
that country and says he saw Jack Will
son that he told OF his visit and the re-
suit to a number of prominent white
men and Indians here, some time before
Johnnie Buster was arrested and before
the DISPATCH printed the article; that
he was seen on the road with his team
going and returning; that any three
newspaper men in Nevada will not call
the story a fake after we submit the ev-
idence; that we do not pretend Jack
Wilson knows more than any other In
dian that there are Indians who believe
and say he does know more than
other Indians that there are more than
four Indians going by the name OF Nat
chez, or Natchs, Matches. We know we
are right, and the Rustler should not
have jumped at conclusions after talk
ing with only one Indian. We are not
familiar with that country, but under
stand it is of magnificent distances like
other parts of Nevada. We deem it that
in justice to us, the Rustler should in
y~estigate and publish the result, which
we are certain will clear us . Simply do
as you would like to be done by.

That we think it was very selfish TO

The RIGHTS OF NEWSPAPERS.

For some weeks past the Appeal has
been fighting the County OF Ormsby to
recover the plltry sum OF $54 and some
odd cents for printing the county tax
roll, the price of which, as fixed by the
law OF the State, shall not exceed 20
cents a name.
1t was cut down to Is cents a name,
under the notion that the Legislature in
fixing the rate did not know what it was
doing.
The law of this State has placed a rate
upon every piece of work required by
law to be done by a newspaper. 1t has
placed "a limit upon everything that the
printer does, and the sign blazoned by
the law over his work is, $50 far shalt
thou go and no farther"
But the law places such limits upon
the professional services of no other call
ing. A physician who sets the broken
leg OF a rich man can charge $1,000 and
the law helps him to collect it. A law
yer settles up a $40, 900 estate and peck
cts So, 1000, and the Court says it is all
right, but il a newspaper charges $50 for
a tax sale or administrators sale in the
same case the bill is scrutinized and
generally cut down about one hall, while
some side remark is made by the attor-
ney that these d newspapers want
the EARTH"
A politician who steals a speech from
some other State and yells it a few times
at an audience is loaded with public
honors and allowed to live the balance
of his life drawing a fat salary and doing
nothing, but the newspaper publisher
who is defending the interests OF his
State over 300 days in the year is treat
ed like a petty larceny thief every time
he presents a bill for any service requir-
ed by law.
lot of ~pin-headed legislators who get
in office every two years by reason of
the exertions of the newspapers, put in
half the session passing bills regulating
the charges of newspapers until the
newspapers in this State have very near
ly struck a starvation basis, and for
every dollar they legally earn they have
have to spend so per cent in court fees
and litigation getting it.
The Appeal has been obliged six times
to resort to litigation in order to collect
legal rates for advertising. 1t has won
every suit so far, except the present one,
which is undecided.
These suits are backed by the Nevada
Newspaper Association and we are
ready to keep on fighting them as long
as. the other side are willing to pay costs
and employ lawyers.
The present newspaper laws seem in
some way to be ambiguous to public
officers, and the newspaper men OF
Nevada, will at the next session OF the
Legislature present a general newspaper
law fixing rates on all kinds of advertis-
ing and printing required by law and
furthermore, the political party neglect
ing to pledge itself to fair play to the
press nee,l not expect the friendship of
Nevada newspapers in the future.
The press OF the State hes been hum
bngged on this proposition long enough
andfis low fully organized and equipped
for II fight to protect its interests.-Car
son Appeal.
And it will be a fight to n finish.

us this week with an elaborate review of

THE FoRT MARCY RESERVE.

Surveyor General Easley is III receipt
of personal letter from Commissioner
Llmoreaux, of the general land ofsice,
which indicates very fattering prospects
for the early transfer OF the Fort Marcy
military reservation from government
ownership into the possession of the city
of Santa Fe. AS mayor and also in his
official capa ity as surveyor general Mr..
EHslay has fully investigated this sub
jact and he feels satisfied, since this
reservation was part OF the origin
grant given by the government of Spain
to the people of this community, that
our government would be doing but a
just ard gracious thing in turning the
property over TO this municipality. II
is evident that Commissioner Lamor

Of it also. Tie commissioner has
promised to have conference with the
Secretary of the Interior on the subject

DEMOCRATS FOR STATEHOOD.

The Democrats of New Mexico earnestly
desire statehood and they are not going to
low such trifc as Il failure to get pro per
representation in the constitutional conycn-
ton to prevent them working in favor OF
statehood. Delegate Catron will have the
support of the Democrats of the territory in
his efforts to secure statehood in spite of the
fact that none of tho Democrats of the terri
tory expect fair treatment at his hands. If
he can get II blu providing fer the admission
of New Mexico to the Union through con-
sress and we doubt his ability to do so very
much, he will have the united support of New
Mexico Democracy. His Republican friends
profess to believe that he will be able to get
anything through congress which he wa nts
ta get through, but we are of tn opinion that
they have greatly over-estimated the ability
of their leader. There are adler men In the
Republican party in New Mexico than Mr..
Catron and the Republic ans viii discover this
before they are many months older.-Silvcr
City Eagle.
On VIII at hypothesis our Silver City
namesake asserts that Mr.. Catron's bill
embodying the grossest unfairness in
the apportionment, will "have the sup.
port of the Democrats Of the territory"
we are not advised, bnt we do remember
| that in 1889 a convention was provided
for by territorial statute which was no
worse, Is to apportionment Of delegates
than the pill introduced by Mr.. Catron
The Democrats of the territory. resent
ing the insult thus thrown out to them
refused to take any part in the election
or in the proceedings of the convention
which framed the constitution submitted
to the people of New Mexico the 70 low
ing year. They did, however, IN further
resentment of that unfair proceeding
vote against the constitution thus sub
mitted and it failed Of approval IN some
thing more than $500 votes.
The same spirit OF independence anG
in lignatipn at the renewal of the same
unfairness which Mr. Catron indulget
in in 1889, will bring from the Democrats
of New Mexico another protest which
will result as disastrously to the presen
scheme as did the former outrage alluded
to. The Silver City Eagle is, certainly
counting without its host. 1t wi!
.never be able to deliver to Mr. Catrol
and his one sided constitution, the good
it promises.

This being Christmas, and peace and
good Will Icing expected even among
New Mexico ne eSspaper men, we forego
our customary recreation of tin canning
editors this week and give the poor
devils time to get their wind for another
concerted howl. We expect much
credit for our Christmas like forbear
ance, as there are many editorial tails
lacking cans and tempting assortment
Of cans ready to our band. We really
ought to say something about the
Mutual Consolation aud Taffy Society,
organized by the chaps who have been
tin.canned, but we refrain. There ID a
chap over in Deming, whose crimes Cf
the mind entit'e him to immediate at
tention, but is included in the general
amnesty. Then the editor of the Ell
Puso Herald, who approves the policy
of the Sultan. and instead of justifying
his attitude toward the wretcbed Ar
menians when it is assailed, replies that
we are an Ishmalitea, ought to be
swatted good and hard. but the swat is
withheld.
There is Tom Hughes, just out OF
Jail, making his paper smell like a cess.
poo! with vlllinons insinuations against
Chief Justice Smith. He needs the
attention Of the Board OF Health. His
case being serious and not amenable to
/ the tin-can treatment. we lot him alone
Doubtless we are expected to take a
two handed grip on the tail of the
British Lion and grind roars out Of him
like tunes ont Of hand organ, but we
guess we'll leave that job to Cleveland
aud Col. Joe Sheridan Of the Silver City
InvIncibles. A tailshold on lion is d
mighty fine thing, but the man who
gets it is likely to be heard yelling fol-
somebody to help him lot CO. Besides
this is Christmas and not the appropri
ate season for taiI.twistirg.
For the present we hop upon the
perch recently vacated by our wise old
friend of the, White Oaks Bird o
Freedom, and tucking our head under
our wing, coo gently as turtle dove ii

peace and other irldescent fantasies, un

But 1T may bo just as well for the
