aud the standing OF those WHO are 10 ia
vor OF II is sufficient guarantee that IL ii
not backed up by the "petty politicians
and criminal classes of Nav Mexico, who
seek to get control Of the machinery O.
the new state to serve their own seltist
and wicked ends"
Statehood is desired by the leading
businessmen of the territory, men who
gave to those who are opposing it the
wherewith to keep body and soul to
gether and enable them to repay the
Kindness by stabs in the back and basesi
ingratitude.
New Mexico hes all the requirements
necessary to fit her for leading place in
the sisterhood of states.
1t has resources equal to those of any
state; its school system IL far better than
that existing in large number of states;
its laws are LIBERAL inst and of great ad-
vantage to immigrants and capitalists;
the climate is far superior to that in any
part of the United States.
And, yet, why is this objection raised 7
The only excuse for opposition that we
have ever heard ia because the other fell
low wants il. The "other fellow" by his
diligence, enterprise and ability, has
forged rapidly to the front aud won for
himself the respect of every progressive
citizen and the animoslty of the anti
statehood cranks, who would prefer to
spend hours in oonjuring up inveotives
to throw at their neighbors to spending
min utes in rubbing off the barnaoles that
have accumulated through Incidence and
sloth. These are the people who oppose
statehood and who are holding New Mex
ico by the throat, fearing that the on
ward march of progress would brush them
aside.
These people should be marked by the
citizens of New Mexico, for they are the
worst enemy the TERRITORY has. They
stand as the barrier to progression; they
besmear New Mexico's fair name by the
mud in which they wallow; they form the
ruts and pebbles that renders the road to
advancement and supremacy so rough
that it arouses the euspicion of those who
would lend the financial assistance neces-
sary to open up our resources. Mark
these people, and when the time comes
that New Mexico is a state, prosperity
spreads throughout the territory and their
predictions are proven infamous fabrioa-
tions, they will come struggling from the
ohesm of oblivion into which they were
pushed, and plead for recognition and
consideration.
These same people claim the Me1icans
are opposed to it. The Mexicans are not
opposing statehood. The leading Mex.
leans in the territory are heartily in favor
of it. To say that they we're opposed to
statehood would be casting an imputation
that would be as slanderous as it is untrue
Rank injustice has already been done to
them in not recognizing their rights long
ago, and the sooner that wrong is righted
the better.

SUICIDE IN ALBUQUERQUE.
Martin AlamrOth Ended His Troubles
by Means of a Large Dose Of
Arsenic.

Yesterday morning at O'Clock, when
W. Fl. Cobb, the photographer, called at
the room of W. G. Burke, pstairs over the
First National bank of Albuquerque, he
discovered Martin Mamroth, the room
mate of Mr.. Burke, lying on the bed dead,
and Mr.. Burke, who was asleep, unaware
of the fact that his associate was dead,
says the Citizen.
Mr.. Burke gives this version of the af-
fair: II returned to my room at about
$50 O'Clock yesterday afternoon" said
Mr.. Burke, "and after lighting the lamp
found Mr.. Mamroth lying on the sofa iD
a stupor. / shook him, and realizing
that he had taken something ediately
notified W. 81. Cobb, who, In turn, sum,
mond DR.. Pearce. The doctor worked
with the deceased, and, from all appear
snces, had his system cleared of what be
had taken. He got up, walked around
the room, and then retired, Mr.. Cobb re.
naming with us until midnight, and l
was to keep watch from that hour till
morning, laid on the bed and was in a
doze, when at 6 O'Clock this morning be
awoke me and asked for drink of water.
Igave him the water and he drank it with
out complaint, after which returned to
bed. Shortly afterward Mr.. Cobb called
to see how be was and found him dead"
1t is disclosed that, on Thursday morn
ing, Mamroth purchased two ounces of
carbolio acid and four ounces of arsenic,
claiming that he wanted to disinfect a
cuspidor and kill some mice. Soon
after he went to his room and drank about
one-third of the arsenic in water. 1t was
supposed, however, that the prompt ac
tion of the physician had defeated the in
tent of the suicide.
The deceased came to Albuquerque 10
1885 and has made mesger livelihood
by bookkeeping. For some time be has
been acting queer and it is now believed
that he was deranged by sickness and ad
versitY.
The funeral will take place Sunday af-
ternoon at 2:30 O'Clock, at Underwater
Strong's. The deceased was member
and acting secretary of Temple lodge No
6, A. F. and A. M, and secretary Of Rio
Grande chapter No. 4, R. A. M.

Some Of the so called minor trials of life
affect happiness more seriously than do
greater ones. Perhaps one of the most
annoying Of small misfortunes--m -misfor-
tunes which do not perceptibly influence
health, character or financial condition
is the possession Of red nose. Even a
man finds this unpleasant, and to wom-
an 1t Is well nigh intolerable Redness Of
the nose is often the result of imperfect
circulation, faulty digestion or tight cloth
ing, and when this is the case simple and
abundant food, absence Of stimulants,
plenty Of exercise and a costume which
does not compress the body will suffice to
correct 1t in short time. Vegetables and
salads should enter largely into the bill Of
fare and food should be eaten slowly.

IT ia said that Senator Elkins wants the
naming Of Judge in the Santa Fe die
trict, 30 that his mining interests will be
taken care of as he desires.-Albuquerqu ne
Citizen.
1t is not exactly clear what the Citizen
means. Why Senator Elkins should not
have candidate for the position named
Is also not clear. That the senator is
better posted on New Mexico affairs than
any other member of the senate is a fact;
that he is greatly interested in having the
proper sort Of man appointed as Judge
of this district is also fact; and that he
is helping the people of this district in
securing the appointment Of a resident
and of the applicant whom they desire, is
also true. The largest and best portion
of the people of the First judicial district
sincerely hope the senator will succeed in
the matter.

WITHIN the past few days dispatches
have been sent broadcast from the city
of Durango in southwestern Colorado,
announcing that train, made up of 25
cars of Durango apples, was being sent
from that town to Denver and Chicago.
Also that the apples are in every respect
first-class. Now the truth of the matter
is .hat every apple, and every barrel of
apples IN that train, and their number
averages about 100 barrels of 130 pounds
each per car, was grown in San Juan
county in this territory and hauled to
Durango, loaded on the cars there and
shipped east. In all truth and soberness
the dispatches should have given this fact
to the people and stated the truth, namely
that the trainload consisted of apples
grown in New Mexico. Fairness and
honesty pay best in the long run and
every body in New Mexico and Colorado
knows that there are no apples and no
other fruit raised at or near Durango.

EASTERN papers are discussing the
"power of the PRESS" and are inclined to
the opinion that the public is not now
Influenced by the expressions of news,
papers as in the good old days of not SO
very long ago. That opinion may be
correct so far as the large cities are con-
cerned, but in the smaller towns and
rural districts papers which are conduct
ed in an honorable, dignified and con.
soientious manner exercise as much
influence and m ore than they ever did. The
big papers of today have only themselves
to blame for their loss of power. In
their mad rush for sensations, dignity,
honor and veracity are lost sight of, and
the better GLASSES of people no longer
regard them as newspapers in the true
sense of the word, but consider them
scandal mongers and trouble breeders.

They are great philosophers in Ger.
many. They are grand scientists and all
that. And nevertheless they are woefully
behind the spirit of the age and bar
barisns in many respects. Under Ger
man law today no woman can control
property; she cannot even control her
own actions; whatever of value she has
acquired in any way belongs to her faith
er, her husband or her son, and the law
requires her to obey their orders. Japan
is the only other country on the earth
that pretends to be civilized where the
rights of women are 80 restricted When
a woman marries in Germany all her
property passes into the ownership of her
husband forever. He has the legal right
to nse or dispose of it in any manner he
chooses regardless of her wishes or pro-
tests. If they are divorced the property
remains with him. When she assents to
the marriage vow she forfeits independ-
ence and confers upon him absolute jur-
isdiotion over her mind, body and estate.
He can compel her to work or do any
thing else that is lawful for women to do,
and she has no relief or protection except
in public opinion. Some of the Ameri-
can heiresses who have married German
barons have learned of this law to their
sorrow, and others who may have an op-
portunity to assist in supporting the
German army and ancestral estates should
look into the matter very carefully before
they appoint the wedding day.

WHARTON BARKER, editor of The Ameri-
can, is one of the most amusing old gran
MES in the country. His remarks con-
cerning Thanksgiving are entitled to a
place in the "Galaxy of poetry" He says
that the people of the cotton growing
states had every reason to be thankful for
an abundant crop of cotton, and then
calls upon them in all seriousness to re-
lieve the Lord of all responsibility for the
low price of that product. He pitches
into exPresident Cleveland and Presi-
dent Mckinley, the former for what he
did not do, and the latter for what he in
ten la to do, and winds up in a TRADE in
which he styles congress nuisance. As
hum orist Editor Barker deserves niche
in some lively graveyard, but the funny
part of the whole business is that be
takes himself seriously.

Swift's Specific being real blood REM
edy never fails to cure Rheumatism. It
reaches even the worst cases where the
doctors have made cripples with their
prescriptions of potash and mercury.
Mr.. D. R. johnson, an extensive lum-
Der dealer of Blackshear, Ca, writes:
My wife was for years sufferer from
Rheumatism, and was treated constant
ty, but could obtain no relief. The pain
was first felt in her left shoulder, and
extended in all directions, increasing
in severity. The doctors said the dis
ease was liable to strike the heart at any
time, in which event death would be
inevitable.
every kind oftreatment recommend
ed for Rheumatism was given her,
including many blood remedies, but
none did her any good. She was grow
ing worse all the while, and was reduced
to mere shadow Of her former self.
"It was at this critical period that
Swift's Specific was given her; the med
icine seemed to reach the disease
promptly, and she at once began to i'm
prove. One dozen bottles effected a
complete cure, and she has had no touch
of the disease since"
Every one afflicted with Rheumatism
should take remedy which can reach
their trouble. S.S.S. will cure the most
aggravated case of Rheumatism, Catarrh,
Cancer, Contagious Blood Poison, Scrof-
ula, Eczema, or any other blood disease.

Local Priests Have, Arranged for Free

 Several of the local Catholic churches have arranged for the publication of a church calendar, to be distributed free each month, beginning June l.
 This calendar will contain the names of the priests of the different churches, the hours of regular and special ser vices, time for marriages, baptiSms, the feast days in each month and the in dulgences obtainable during the month. The calendar will also contain reading matter suitable to the month of its pub licaton.
 This system is in practice among the Catholic churches in New York, and it relieves priests of the duty of making publication of services, etc, from the altars-publicatio which are usually forgotten before the last gospel of the mass is read.
