medicine, and, at the same time, q

lettuce contains a well-known narcotic

There is a slight reactionary effect
against overlooking the dinner and
luncheon tables with decorations. On
grand occasions 1t is nor usual to see
the table dressed with a white cloth Of
finest damask on which the floral dec
Crations rest. 1lis gives opportunity
for individuality in the arrangement Of
the flowers about the table, and the
prettiest effects ever made in table dec
orations are done BY the means Of a
tasteful arrangement Of ferns and
flowers on the cloth.

STATEHOOD FOR NEW MEXICO.

The time to make fight for statehood
is at hand and the sooner the forces are
marshaled the better for the cause and
the people generally. Tt ought not to be
very stubborn contest, and yet there is
work to do and plenty of it. The powers
that be are all favorably disposed. In
Gov. Otero the proposition has an ardent
supporter and President Mckinley will
aid in every manner possible. 1t is of
little use to review the advantages that
would accrue to this territory from state
hood. They are we'll known. Statehood
would mean an immense advance all
along the line in every interest upon
which the territory depends for future
prosperity. Under statehood capital
would come to MS from all parts of the
world, seeking Investment in our mines
of untold wealth. There is no good rea-
son why New Mexico should not become
state, she has more than the population
which ia required. Her natural resources
we'll fit her for statehood, and if for no
other reason she ought to be admitted so
as to keep our sacred pledge with our
sister Republic Of Mexico made in the
treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. As is we'll
known New Mexico became part of the
United States by that treaty, the ninth
article providing that residents of New
Mexico should be Admitted at the proper
time Ito be judged by the congress of the
United Stases) to the enjoyment of all
the rights of citizens of the United States,
according to the principles of the consti-
tuition"
Under this stipulation California was
admitted as state in 1850, and although
New Mexico applied for admission at the
same time, it was not recognized, con-
gress having Disseminated against it.
New Mexico bases it's claim to become a
state not only upon that treaty stipula-
ton, but also upon the proclamation is
sued by General Stephen W. Kearney at
the time he took possession of the terri
tory. General Kesrney was not only
military officer at this time but he was
acting directly under the instructions of
the secretary of war. In this proclama-
ton General Kesrney said: at is the
wish and intention of the United States
to provide for New Mexico free govern
ment with the least possible delay, SINH
lar to those in the United States"

the HORTICULTURAL FAIR.

The proposed horticultural fair can be
made success only by the combined
efforts of those interested in this indus
try and in the advancement of the terri
tory as whole. 1t should not be made
one industry proposition, although hor-
ticultural products would in all proba-
bility take the lead in the matter of ex-
hibits. A unique feature might be added
TO an exhibition of this character by in
Producing Indian exhibits showing the
advance that the different tribes have
made in the arts of civilization. This
feature should not be overlooked for it
would certainly constitute potent at
traction, especially for those who reside
outside of the territory. A collection of
this kind could be made without very
much expense. 1t should be understood
in the beginning that the efforts of few,
however we'll directed, can not make the
proposed exhibition success. It will
require good, faithful work on the part
of every one interested in the advance
ment of the horticultural and other in
terests of the territory. Let every one
contribute something and the fair will be
what it deserves to be, a big success in
every respect.

THE proposed bill against trusts which

allowed in direct violation Of law to
corner every article of consumption, the
poor man and the producer must suffer
the consequences, that's all. If the anti
trust laws now on our statute books we're
enforced as they should be, there would
be little need of new enaotments.

1t is to be hoped, that Mr.. Luna will be
