Of hay per year.

competition in the Murl,ets Not Feared.

Wall street reminds us of those Rocky
Ford farmers down the river. They make
n continual opposition to the Grand
Canon canal on the ostensible ground
that it would injure them by deprivlng
them of water, when, as n matter OF fact,
it is very apparent that their real nnimus
is fear OF competition with the future
crops OF the Pueblo county lands in the
Pueblo market Pueblo Chieftain.
Tho above is specimen OF the rot that
is found quite frequently in the columns
of the Pueblo Chieftain lately. We
would like to ask the Chieftain il it has
any idea OF what per cent OF the prod
uots of the lower Arkansas valley find
market in Pueblo? We will venture to
say that not 10 per cont Of the products
Of the three lower counties find mar,
ket at that town. The vegetarians OF
Pueblo are fully supplied by dozen q Gf
canals close 10 the city, and who have
made speciality Of growing parsnips
and cabbage, which seems to fully supply
the wants Of our Pueblo friends in the
Every intelligent person in the Arkan..
sas valley who has given the subject OF
irrigation moments sober thought
knows that there is not now water enough
for the canals already built, and any new
ones will only damage the canals now IN
existence.
And yet, in the face OF all this, Pueblo
is straining every point to got an appro-
priation from the legislature to build
canal which, it has been proved, will be
one OF the most expensive to build and
operate Of any canal ever built in the
state, il not in the west.
They tell us they do expect to date
their priority back to June II, 1889, the
date at which work was first begun, but
nre willing to date it from the actual ap.:
plication OF the water to the land. And
yet, when pinned down to the point, they
acknowledge that the courts will be
called upon to adjudicate the priority for
that canal the same as all other canals In
the valley. This being the case, they
expect to elect judges in their distrlct,
when the question comes up, or in the
district having jurisdiction who will rem.
to June l2, 1899. This will deprive some
of the canals in tho three lower countiee
Of their rightful supply Of water-in
fact taking away the homes OF hundreds
OF oitizens of the lower counties. Not
only this, but compelling them to pay
tax to build the very canal the existence
OF which will make a desert OF their
once fertile farms.
There should be no compromise in this
matter. The fight is on, and we must
stand to the front until the state canal
scheme is killed and buried so deep that
it will never again bob up to threaten
the homes Of the residents OF the lower
wiley. =.
The Twin Lakes reservoir can wait
awhile. The site is there and it is not
likely to be moved away, nor the water
put to any other use, or diverted in any
other direction. When the time comes
Pueblo will be as ready to join hands in
building 1t us nny other part OF the val.
Icy, as It is AZ much to their interest to
build it us ours.

THE PLANT OF LII.

The plant of poor Queen Lii, concern
ing the seizure of her kingdom, and her
forced abdication from the throne of Ha-
waii, comes to the American people like
noise from the tomb. From the
queens standpoint the wall is rather pa
thetic, bat from any other view point, her
protests that the proceedings of the
revolutionists were illegal come as a
fine tonic of humor. She stoutly main
tains that her signature to the abdica-
tion document was all wrong, and that in
legal contest it would do the revolution
lists little good. As there is not the
slightest probability of legal contest, it
is difficult to see what good this point
can do the dusky plaintiff. 1t is probable
that the ex-queen does not care 80 much
for her lost throne, or the cares of roy
atty, as for douceur for the loss of her
revenues.

THIRTY-THREE YEARS OLD.

With this number of the New MEXICAN
commences the thlrty-fourth volume of
the paper. Thirty-three years ago it was
started and its publication began by
Manderfield & Tucker and for many
years, indeed up to 1881, it was the only
daily paper in the territory. OF the
thirty years of it's existence it was Repub.
lican in politics; for the balance of the
time, owing to circumstances that were
too hard to bear, it was conducted by a
Democratic board of directors and stock
holders.
Its record is the record of the people
of the territory and its pages contain the
history of the past thirty three years of
New Mexico. During all this time the
journal has steadily and consistently ad-
vocased Advancement, progress, liberality,
tolerance and has been the steady and I'M
wavering friend of the free American pub
lie school system, the strong advocate of
honesty and economy in public affairs
and the true and persistent friend of
the people of New Mexico of all classes
and in all sections.
Every portion of New Mexico has so
far found genuine and warm friend in the
New MEXICAN and this policy, with Gods
help and the support of the people, will
be continued, let us hope, for many years
to come. Every effort will be made and
no pains will be spared to improve the
paper in every particular as time advances
and in the future, as in the past, the New
MEXICAN will be the true exponent OF what
is best, most manly, most honorable and
most just in New Mexican affairs.

THE monopolist sheet in Albuquerque
owned by man who lives not in the
city, and representing corporate inter
ests that are hurting the city of Albu-
querque very much and taking money in
large amounts out of the pockets of the
people, poses as the friend of the people
and as an advocate of reform and econo-
my. The Albuquerque taxpayer and
owner, who helps the Albuquer-
que Democrat, is standing in his own
light and injuring his own interests.
That's the way it looks to unprejudiced
people on the outside.
