the result of the duties on that article on
the national treasury.
The sheep aud wool industry does not
supply the demand for woolens in the
home market by a large percentage, and
under the Mckinley law the imports of
unmanufactured wool yielded a revenue
of 100000 per month The growth in
the population since that time and the
greater consumption of woolens will
probably cause importations under the
present tariff law to yield revenue OF
about 81, ,125,OO0 per month, or $l3,5o0,000
per year. According to the latest figures
given ont by the treasury department the
government deficit under the tariff law is
S20,OOO,0O0, and the effect of the wool
importations on that amount OF shortage
can easily be seen.
During the pendency of the Dingley
bill in the senate, wool from foreign
countries was rushed into this country,
in order to escape the higher duties, until
six months supply was in the ware
rooms of dealers and manufacturers.
That supply is now almost exhausted, as
we'll as the home product, and importa-
tions under the new tariff law must be-
gin. The treasury will reap the benefit
of this condition, while keen competition
among makers of woolens will keep the
price of stuffs down to the consumers.
In this condition of the wool supply
and demand there is lesson for the
fiockmasters in America. Under the
Dingley law prices for wool will remain
at profitable figure for the producer,
the home market must be supplied, and
there is no reason why a single pound OF
wool should be imported into the coun.
try. American sheep can furnish every
pound that is needed. High prices ought
and will increase the size of focks, and
I the money now sent to Australia, South
America and other countries can be kept
at home without any trouble.
OF course the free traders will consider
this proposition a blow to protection
but it is not. The more money that il
kept at home means just that much more
to be distributed among the farmers anc
workingmen, while the purchase ol
luxuries resulting from general pros
perity will keep up the revenue derived
from the tariff.
The men who are to make the sheer
business pay in the next four years, ant
perhaps for all time to come, are thost
who increase their flosks for the wool.

DIR. W. ?. ROBERTS, corresponding vice
president of the American Invalid Aid
society, writes to the New MEXICAN that
his society has changed its petition to
congress for grant of an abandoned
military post in New Mexico, for the
purpose of founding sanitarium for
consumptives, from Fort Marcy to Fort
Stanton, in the southern part of tine terri
tory. Fort Stanton is removed from any
center of population and all danger from
infection is thus removed. The objects
of the Aid society are of the highest order
and it is to be hoped that congress will
grant the petition now before it and en-
able the work of reclaiming consumptives
to begin at An early day.

THE proposition to pension and retire
certain department employees has already
come up in Washington. The reasons
for such pensions and retirements are
given as old age and inability to further
perform the services required of them.
This proposition is the direct outgrowth
of civil service reform, and is only the
entering wedge for general pension list
and rates for office holders under one of
the biggest frauds ever perpetrated upon
the American people. The proper way to
head off this scheme is to relegate the
Chinese system to the shades OF "innocuous
desuetude," as the late lamented Grover

THE NEW JUDGES.

The appointment of Hon. John R. Nc
Fie for the First judicial district and Hon.
Frank w. Parker for the Third judicial
district by President Mckinley, is an &C.
tion that meets with the hearty approval
of every citizen of New Mexico. He has,
In doing so, recognized the rights of the
territory and gave to it's people the much
coveted prize of home rule. He has fol-
lowed the wishes of the large majority OF
the people in his choice and sustained
the party platform adopted at the st.
Louis convention.
As far as the gentlemen appointed are
concerned, the presidents choice was an
admirable one and one the most pessi-
mistic fault finders must approve. They
are both men of rare legal ability, honest,
sincere, sober, moral and unbiased gen.
tlemen, whose sole purpose shall be to
dispense the law fairly and without
prejudice.
Judge McFie's record on the bench
speaks for itself. II is living monu-
ment to his integrity and fairness as a
Judge, and any comment on his integrity
would be unnecessary.
Judge Parker is a we'll known attorney
and his future career on the bench will no
doubt be one of continued success, adding
additional laurels to his wreath, and we
bespeak for him record that will be
second to none In the history of New
Mexico.--Dona Ana County Republican.

Appointments Satisfactory.
The president has appointed Frank W.
Parker, of Hillsboro, and John R. McFie,
of Las Cruces, as associate justices Of the
Supreme court Of New Mexico. When
associate justices of the Supreme court
are appointed they are not assigned to
any particular district. Both of these
appointees are residents of the Third
district. II is reported that Judge Mo
Fie will be assigned to the First district
with headq usrters at Santa Fe, and that
Judge Parker will be assigned to this
district. This will be satisfactory to the
people OF Grant county, for Judge Parker
will not move the United States court
from Silver City. Both of the appointees
are "learned in the Law" and good He.
publicans, and the appointments are
satisfactory to the people, both Judi
cially aud politically .-Lordsburg Lib

OIR NAVY.
Present Condition Well Adapted to
Our NecessItIes.

The present Immediately effectiveness Of
the navy consists OF four battle ships of the
first class, two of the second and IS other
vessels, ranging from armOred cruisers to
torpedo boats. There are under construc-
tion five battle ships of the first class, I6
torpedo boats and one submarine boat. No
provision has yet been made for the armor
OF three of the five battle ships, 5 Il has
been impossible TO obtain it at the price
fixed by congress. 1t is of great Importance
that congress provide this armor, as until
then the ships are of no lighting value
The present naval force, especially IN view
of its increase by the ships now under con-
struction, while not as large that OF a
few other powers, Is a formidable force ;
its vessels are the very best Of each type ;
and with the increase that should be made
to Ii from time to time IN the future, and
careful attention to keeping It in high
state of efficiency and repair, ii is well
adapted TO the necessities Of the country.
The great increase of the navy which has
taken place in recent years was Justified by
the requirements Tor national defense and
has received public appreciation The time
has now arrived, however, when this in
crease, TO which the country is committed
creased facilities commensurate with the
increase of our naval vessels. 1t Is an uu-
fortunate fact that there is only one dock
on the Pacific coast capable of docking our
largest ships, and only one on the Atlantic
coast, and that the latter has for the last
six or seven months been under repair and
therefore incapable of use. Immediat e
steps should be taken to provide three or
four docks of this capacity on the Atlantic
coast, at least one on the Pacific coast and
a floating dock on the gulf. This is the
recommendation of a very competent
board, appointed to Investigate the sub
jcct. There should also be ample provision
made for powder and prOjectiles, and other
munitions of war and for an increased
number Of officers and enlisted men. Some
additions are also necessary 10 our navy
yards for the repair and care of our larger
number OF vessels. AS there are now on
the stocks five battleships of the largest
class, which can not be completed for a
year or two, | concur with the rccommen-
dalton of the secretary OF the navy for an
where at present there is only one in COM
mission and one under construction, while
on the Atlantic coast there are three in
commission ana four under construction:
and also that several torpedo boats be
authorized in connection with our gem
eral system of coast defense.
