IL is possible that ONE parts Of the
Territory not susc ptible Of irrigation
will ultimately BIO found adapted to
Az ricullure with irrigation. There are
localities in the southwestern section
where the rainfall Is heavy enough TO
bring crops to maturity, aud the posi-
bililles Of agriculture in that part .
the country should not be ignored. II
this should prove to be the case, 1t
would greatly add to the power OF that
Territory to maintain u large popula-

CANT to say, with Gov. Otero, that
New Mexico is capable Of supporting IA
population Of 5000 900.

TWO GRAND Old ZEN

There is something OF u parallel be-
tween ex Senator Philetas Sawyer, ol
Wisconsin, who, to-day Is passing his
eighiy-first anniversary, and VIM. e
Gladstone, for the one, a statesman OF
the old world, aud the other q states
nan of the new, still maintain an &C.
i've interest In the affairs of their re-
speclive countries, but tho parallel
ceases in the fact that while Gladstone
is to-day little more than a reminis'
cence to the great liberal party ovei
which no once welded authority, the
grip of Philelas Sawyer upon the re-
publican politics of the Badger state
Is ns firm and tenacious as 1t was mort
than o quarter of a century ago, wher
the Hoards, Lafolletes, and other leaders
of the young republicans OF Wisconsin
were but emerging from their swad
ding clothes.
Perhaps enc Of the greatest tri'
umphs of his life was achieved at the
republican state convention held IL
Milwaukee in June of last year. for the
purpose of selecting delegates to the
st. Louis national convention. Forty
eight hours before the arrival OF the
first of thu delegates on the field, the
most intimate friends of the eie hty.
year-old politician confessed that he
would be defeated as delegate-at-large,
and thus retired from public life, pu,
50 potent was the personality OF the old
veteran, who in the meantime had met
and greeted every delegate to the gath
ering, that when the convention met,
Ills name was the first submitted and
his selection was iLdorsed by acclama-
ton.
TIE former senator has several times
declared that he is no longer q candi-
date for public Office, but there are
many who believe hat before the Close
of his active life, he will again be seen
and heard npon the floor Of the United
senate.

GOV. OTERO'S REPORT.
1t is Interesting and Encouraging to
All who Hope Well for New
Mexico.

From the Denver Republican.
The report made by Gov. Otero O
New Mexico to the department of th,
interior upon the condition of New
Mexico Is interesting and encouraging
to oil who believe in and hope well fol
that Territory. Its optimistic toH'
may seem to some eastern people IN
warranted by what New Mexico ha,
already accomplished, but 1t does no
seem so to one who has studied the
resources of the southwest.
The mineral development of the
Territory is the most remarkable fea-
ture of the current years work. L
shows that mining men have gone Sc
riously to work to prove up the wealth
of the Territory 10 gold, and that they
are meeting with a fair measure Of
success. The development Of several
new camps near the Colorado border
adds new ground to the recognised
mineral area, and it looks as ii sew
eral, if not all, these camps would BIT
permanent. New Mexico is rich in
the precious metals, no doubt, but il
will take much time amt money to
open its gold deposits and place its
mines upon a profitable basis.
Gov. Otero speaks in particular OF
the sugar beet industry, which has
been established in the Pecos valley,
and for which the future, contains
much promise. A sugar factory has
been erectod at Eddy, in the Pecos
valley, and the industry will uadoubt
edly enjoy a rapid growth IN the near
future. 1t is probable that, as Gov.
Otero says, the valley of the Rio
Grapde from the Colorado line {,
Texas is adapted to the growth OF
sugar beets. Much of its area. will
probably some day be devoted to the
production of sugar.
In connection with the industry, one
should not forget the remark OF Prof
Wiley, the sugar beet expert, who said
that the adaptability OF the irrigated
districts of the southwest to the growth
of sugar beets would probably enable
that section of the union to compete,
not merely with Germany and France,
but also with Hawaii and Cuba, in the
production of sugar. The remark is
full of encouragement to the sugar

WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPT. q, 1897.
THE REMEDY FOR LYNoHING.

The governor OF Indiana IS proceed
ing as if he intended to make an earn
est effort to bring to justice the mem
bers of the mob who lynched five men
there on Tuesday of last week. After
giving the authorities twelve hours in
which to answer his telegram as to
what course they intended to pursue
and receiving no reply, he sent the at
torney-general of the state there to
make an investigation. 1t is to be
hoped that he Will succeed in fastening
crime upon the culprits and IN melting
out the punishment they SO richly de.
serve. 1t would do good in many
other states and Territories, too
There is, of course, an almost insur-
mountable obstacle in the way of con-
victiDg members of a mob. They must
be presented by the grand jury and
tried by q petit jury. Everybody
knows that in many cases it is CON-
paratively an easy matter to find out
who the lynchers are. But the grand
juries are proverbially bird; they
won't indict. Public sentiment will
not back up vigorous prosecution.
The usual course pursued is Instructors
from the judge TO the grand jury, and
q p%erfunctory Investigation by that
body. A report is made that it is I'M
able to find out who the guilty men are,
and that ends the matter.
1t is undoubtedly true that in many
instances even should a grand jury
bring in indictment, no petit jury
could be found that would convict. So
long, therefore, as the only danger in
CURED by the men who break into jails
and murder defepseless criminals is
prosecution in the regular way, they
run comparatively little risk. A way
must be found to quicken the con
sciences of the communities which are
willing to condone this sort. of thing.
Legislatures should take hold Of the
question. Let the county in which a
lynching occurs be mulcted in dollars
and cents. Let the relatives of the
mar put to death in this manner re-
cover damages. We will venture to
say that if this is done, many a
county which now processes itself i'm
potent in the presence of a dozen or
more lawless men, will suddenly find a
way to protect the prisoners in its
jails. The plan is well worth a trial,
at least.
