SPANS ATTITUDE.

The simple fact that Spain has been
willing to grant new code of laws for
Cuba proves conclusively one thing, if
nothing more, and this is that she has
come down several steps from her haugh-
ty, brutal and stiff -necked position of q
few months since. Her bogus pride has
been humbled somewhat, and so the dit
tie revolt" as she was wont to character
ize the struggle, has not been entirely in
vain. If the Cubans can secure snews
of war for a continuation of this battle
for liberty, it does not seem unreasonable
to predict, that Spain will in course of
time, come down several steps more. And
there seems little doubt about the op-
pressed island being able to secure the
sinews above mentioned. Cuba has
friends and sympathizers in all parts of
the world who are furnishing material aid
in this war, and who will continue to do
so. On the other hand Spain has all she
can attend to at the present time to keep
her own people from rising in revolt.

In the death of Capt. Philo MeGiffin,
who commanded the Chinese iron clad
Chen Yuen, in the battle of Yalu river,
which took place in September, 1894, the
navy loses brave officer, and the coun-
try good man. He was singularly dis
tingulshed among his fellows for high
order of courage. While yet a naval
cadet, he was complimented in general
orders by the secretary of the navy, for
saving two children from a horrible
death in burning building, and again on
the Constitution he performed an act of
bravery in going aloft to secure spar,
that earned the thanks of congress. The
sailors upon this occasion refused to VEN
ture into the storm-swept rigging.

MUST co ON, ANYWAY,

Our esteemed contemporary, the Las
Vegas Examiner, does not approve of the
course of the NEwMExIoAN in advocating
greatly needed reforms in county affairs
and also of the NEW MExIoAN's course
advocating the passage of a law provid-
ing for re compilation of the laws of
the territory. This, however, will have
no effect upon the course of this journal,
which is not being published for the
benefit of the Examiner, but rather
in the interests Of the people in gen.
eral, and for the benefit of its own
srs on the side. The Examiners views,
rom lite standpoint, may be all right.
From our point Of vantage they do not !

Compilation of the Laws.

One of the most important and neces-
sary things to be done by the present
legislature is the re-compilation of the
laws of the territory. Since the compila-
| ton of 1884 there have been, including
| the present session, six meetings of the
| legislature, at each of which the pro-
visions of the laws were changed in a
greater or less degree, until now it is al
most impossible to know what the law
upon any given subject is. Some of the
session laws, notably those of 1887 and
1889, in which most important changes
were made, are out of print and can not
be obtained, except in rare instances and
at great expense, the thin pamphlet of
1887 selling for as much as SIS.
The compilation of 1884 was extremely
necessary and very useful, but now, with
the additional legislation of twelve years,
it has become as obsolete as the old com
pilation of 1865 was at the time the new
compilation was made. Lawyers can get
along without the new compilation, for
as rule they are supplied with the ses-
sion laws and have kept up with the
changes and amendments, but the county
officers-justices of the peace and MEM
bers of the legislature, as we'll as citizens
at large, must remain in state of un-
certainty, If not absolute ignorance, as
to what the law really is on the statute
books, to say nothing of its interpreta.
ton by the courts.
The law for the compilation of 1884
not only provided for the compilation of
the existing general laws, but also for all
local and special acts which have been
passed since the compilation of 1865
This work was accomplished by three
commissioners, aud both volumes were
completed, printed and ready for delivery
within year from the time the commits
sioners were appointed. The laws of
1884 could be compiled by three compe-
tent commissioners, with one or two
clerks and typewriters, in three months
and at very small expense. While re-
vision of the laws would, of course be
preferable in every way, yet that could
not be done before the next session of |
the legislature, and would be more ex-
penslve. The present compilation of |
1884 is very difficult to obtain; the last |
two legislatures could only get few
copies at an exhorbitant price, and every
member of the present legislative as.
tempting to legislate without these laws |
and the subsequent legislation. The
governor in his message this year REQ
commended the repeal of certain laws
which had been repealed four years ago,
and bills have been introduced to repeal |
and amend laws which are already COW
cred by existing legislation. New bills
have been introduced covering subjects
which are already law, and it is believed |
that the money expended in compila-
ton of the laws as they now exist would |
be much more saved in the next two years |
by having the existing laws in compact |
and uniform condition.
The attention of the legislature is re-
spsctfully directed to this very important |
matter of legislation, which demands i'm
mediate attention Albuquerque Citizen.

Some of the free silver organs are max
ing terrible roar about the appointment
of Gen. Alger to be secretary of war.
Gen. Alger's splendid war record is enough
to Justify the appointment, even if he
had not taken prominent part in civil
affairs, where he has proved himself a
man of no ordinary ability. He was COM
msnded in general orders by both Sheri-
dan and Custer for bravery in battle, and
we may add that these leaders were not
accustomed to hatter anybody.

Militia Warrants and, Militia War
rants.

During the numerous Indian wars from
1856 up to the time of the OWL war, and
during the continuance of that great
struggle, and during the administrations
of Cows. Sheldon and Ross, large in
debtedness WAS incurred by the territory
calling out the militia from time to time.
This debt has never been paid. The war
rents were issued for service, and the
men who turned out in defense of their
country should long ago have received
something more substantial than paper
promise. The present legislature should
appoint committee to investigate
militia warrants, find out the amount IN
sued, and determine as to the genuine
ness of the warrants, but in no event,
must the old militia warrants, bought on
speculation by Staab & Co., over at Santa
Fe, be saddled onto the others.-Las We

AS TO the Present Assembly.

Those who are keeping tab on the
work of the legislators at Santa Fe say
they are the most efficient body of men
who ever met for the purpose of framing
laws for this territory. Their disposition
seems to be to repeal bad laws and make
few good ones. This is encouraging
and in marked contrast with some for.

THE SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY

No question is receiving more gen.
eral attention throughout the United
States at present than that of produc.
ingsugar. This country imports more
of sugar than any other one article
except coffee, the amount in 1896
having been over three and one half
billion pounds, valued at something
over $50. 200, 900; and as only limited
territory in America is adapted to the
cultivation of sugar cane, it is evident
that if we ever became able to supply
home demands it must be with sugar
produced from beets, hence attention
naturally is attracted to this industry.
The experimental station of the state
agricultural college has issued bull
letin on the subject of sugar beet cul-
ture and the manufacture of beet
sugar which contains much valuable
information, and from which some of
the following data is taken. From
this bulletin it Is learned that at pres
ent there are eight beet sugar factories
in operation in the United States, and
that in each the system of making
sug ar from beets has been so system
lied that it can be produced in COM
petition with cane sugar under ordi-
narily favorable condition. Though
it is also shown that it is not every
locality that is favorably situated for
in this industry, and while
beets of an excellent quality are raised
in .Oregon. the sugar industry can
not be successfully conducted in every
part of the state, nor can it be made |
successful without large outlay of
capital.
First, a factory with a capacity of ]
