Evidently, the manufacturers of ma
chinery for the production of sugar from
beets have got to change their moulds
and select new patterns. The ordinary
sort of machinery may do for Nebraska
and California, but it won't do for New
Mexico. We are "sweeter' down this

The subject Of this sketch,
Mr.. James Duggan, is an ex-
ample Of what is accom-

and employing at the pres

five hundred men. This gen.
tleman has made a study OF
coal mining from boyhood,
and as a result he has be-
come one of the expert op-
orators Of the United States.
He was born in Rhode
Island and before he was
able to do a mans work he
was earning his living in a
coal mine. A close observer,
and apt in absorbing knowl-
edge Of the business, he rose
rapidly through the various
grades until he reached his
present position.
Prior to accepting his
present position, Mr.. Dug

oping several large coal
properties in western Texas.

dred feet, at an altitude of
1900 feet above sea level,

The hotel accommoda-
tions are ample, and every
comfort has been provided
for guests that can be found
in any metropolitan estab-
lishment, will accommodate
about fifty guests, and is ele-
gantly fitted up throughout.
The main building is sur
rounded by a broad balcony
where guests may bask in
the warm sunshine, a luxury
enjoyed at Ell Porvenir
nearly every day in the
year. Within twenty yards
of the hotel flows the beau
tiful Gallinas, Astounding in
trout that furnish one of
the chief amusemeuts Of
this wildwood glen. A
lake near by has been pro-

This assertion doesn't amount to much,
perhaps, as far as the average reader is
concerned, but to the sugar dealers and
other high functionaries it means that
New Mexico leads the world in the pro-
duction of sugar beets and that in future
New Mexico must be accorded the head
of the procession, in this respect, at least.

THE JUDGESHLP.

The Democrats held their judicial
convention at Berkeley Springs on
last Tuesday. 1t was very harmon
ious, and we must say from personal
observation, that we have never
seen cleaner or better looking or
more intelligent lot of democrats at
tending any convention. They nom.
mated Hon. E. Boyd Faulkner, who
has so faithfully attended to the du-
ties of the position, and as a man,
although differing in politics, Re-
publicans honor him for fairness and
impartiality. There may be a can
didate against him, but that is
doubtful. Judges have nothing to
do with political platforms while
they have their political afili-
atoms and have no right to
become absolute partisans in iu
dical affairs. A close observer, we
have found Judge Faulkner fair, al
though ofren deciding against us.
The Court represents the law and
every man on the bench should be
impartial. The Chicago Populists
turned down the Democrats and de-
nounced the United States Supreme
Court. The people will preserve and
recognize the law, back the courts,
and defeat popullsm.

4 EORGERY

Many Democratic newspapers are
resorting to any means 10 win votes
for the Democratic-Populist candi-
date. They do not even stop at pub
fishing what is known by them to
be untrue, but 60 so far as to present
TO their readers articles that are
forgeries. Such being the case they
must necessarily lose the position in
the minds Of the public that they
seek to obtain.
Last week there was published
under immense headlines, an article
purporting to have appeared in the
London Financial Ne,os of March 10,
in which the Joss of trade with South
America, China and Japan was fore
cast as a consequence of National
FOLLY in allowing the United States
to get ahead of England in the
adoption of bi-metallism. This al
legged extract has been reprinted
conspicuously by Democratic Popu-
listic journals in the Western States.
1t is pronounced a forgery by the
Financial Meas of August Is,
which refers explicitly to it, and
says: 'No such article was ever
printed BY US, and its tenor is di.
rectly opposed to the view we have
taken of the effect of free silver in
the United States. So far from ad.
vocating free silver coinage, we have
persistently pointed that it spells
reputation, and the withdrawal of
all European capital"
The Bryan press generally has
made an early start in the business
Of forged extracts for campaign pur-
poses.

TRUST THE PEOPLE.

1t is to be regretted from social
standpoint that the Democrats were
unable to agree in the conventions
and primaries. 1t shows evidently
the want of harmony, and an unrest
that needs help. This they will get
from the Republicans, and this they
will help to give. 1t is their right
and their duty so to do. The dis
quietude is the birth of mis-adminis-
tration, Of both general and local
affairs. We do not desire to attack
further the County Court, for the
people have sense enough to appre-
ciate what has already been said.
Therefore, we're glad that there is
sufficient of substantial citizens with
out regard to party in Berkeley
county to settle these affairs, and
rectify the wrongs that have been
accomplished without the peoples
consent.
