ABOUT the LAND COURT,

The United States court of private
land claims closed most fruitful term
yesterday and set forty.five cases fol-
trial at the adjourned term, which will
open in this city on the 4th of next MAY
The New MEXICAN has always maintained
that this court was exceptionally able,
learned, impartial and conscientious, an d
that, when its record was made M, IL
would be found that it had rendered SER
vices of inestimable value to New Mexico.
SO far our high expectations have been
more than realized. The judges of the
court have proved themselves faithful
and capable workers; have lodged no
question, however intricate, that has been
fairly presented to them; have confirmed
numerous grants, modified and limited the
boundaries OF others, and rejected and
restored to the public domain still Others.
Thus the disputed titles to thousands of
acres in this territory have been definite.
" and finally adjusted and the rights of
many people have been definitely deter.
mined.
In heartily commencing the judges
Of the court for their valuable SER
vices to this grant-ridder territory, We
1esire to add that too much praise can
hardly b bestowed upon Hon. Matt g.
United States attorney, and
4. W. =. Pope, assistant United States
ttorney, for the rare diligence and

CONFIDENCE RETURNING.

Southern New Mexico offers most at
tractive opportunities to people looking
for Investments, says the Deming Head
light, and we believe it. In fact from
the talk we hear about those great irriga-
ton dams on the Bravo, railroad enter
prises in Grant, Lincoln and Chaves
counties and the demand generally for
gold and copper mines, not to mention
the new interest taken IN cattle and sheep,
we are led to believe that "contidence" is
returning

COLORADO ought to take an active part
in the effort of New Mexico to obtain the
passage of statehood bill by congress.
The transformation of New Mexico into
state would be great attraction to the
immigration of enterprising people from
the older states, and the presence of a
large population down there would great
ly add to our traffic with the new state. -

The Judiciary.

Judge Freeman probablp has more
warm friends among the law abiding peo-
pie of this district, in which he served
with ability as judge, than any other Off
clal. His decisions were always logical
and In strict conformity with recognized
authority, he being therefore, seldom re-
versed. The judge has arrived at that
period of life when Judgment is ripe and
his active life as jurist fully equips
him for the position mentioned by the New
MEXICAN, for which he will undoubtedly
be the choice if his party is controlled by
wise heads Eddy Current.

Antediluvian Mutton.

The La Junta Tribune says: "The Hol-
brook country is likewise going into
sheep feeding extensively. Among those
now breeding are Hon. w. N. Randall,
800; Shelton Fenton, 1000; Mr.. Peter
son, 500; John Statesman, 500. The i'm
mense quantities of alfalfa in this section
will be turned into cash and at good
profit, it is hoped"
Now if sheep are to be fed in this val
ley with real sure enough feed, instead of
being pastured all winter on cactus and
sage brush, it looks as if this fodder
could as we'll be administered to sheep
that are good for something as to the

Juan GARLIC received and distributed
this week the county treasurer's warrants
for the payment of judges, clerks of
election and members of the board of
registration. Elizabethtown had regis.
tration of 23S. 1t took the Judges and
clerks two days to receive and count the
ballots and make out the returns. For
this they were paid one day, the other
day being donated to the county. The
messenger who took in the ballot box
travelled by stage 1O4 miles, and con-
sumed two full days, several meals and
few Refreshments" in doing it. The
stage fare for the round-trip is IS. The
messenger received for his work $3.50
in SOcent warrants. His remuneration
was just $l.S0 less than nothing per day.

ty expenses, but it is much better thing
to "lop" in the right place.-Elizabeth
