FRUIT.

FhUlT
In the metropolitan markets Of the west.
ern states New Mexico's horticultural
products command from 8 to 10 per cent,
greater price than the California products,
owing to their size, richness In color and
peculiarly delicate flavor. In grapes, for
which the Rio Grande Valley Is famous.
the Flame, Tokay, the Muscats, the Black
Hamburgs and similar choice varieties are
grown to perfection. In avery quarter Of
the Territory are profitable orchards of APP
Piles, pears, peaches, cherries, plums, nec-
tarines and all the small fruits indigenous
to the temperate and semi-tropic some.
SUGAR BETS.
Experiments covering u period Of thres.
years demonstrate that New Mexico excels
any other country Or section In the world
in the quantity aud quality OF sugar beets.
In 1886, in the Pecos Valley, some 1.400
acres OF bests were harvested. The average
yield per ACRE was . little over 10 tons,
and the average percentage Of sacoharine
was over 10, the highest record eyer
made. The gross returns to the farmer
averaged $87. 90 per acre. and the cost OF
raising the crop was q little less than &22.00
per acre. The almost perpetual sunshine
during the growing season is the cause OF
the extra percentage of sugar in this beets,
and the richness and a~daptability Of the
soil accounts for the heavy yield.

Ia 1891 the Legislature passed an
rot providing for the Inspection Of the
brands OF all cattle shipped or driven
out of the Territory ; the inspection OF
all hides and cattle at the slaughter
houses; IN fact the act provides for o
rigid inspe ction ~ al; cattle coming
Into or gong out Ct the Territory, or
20 be killed, and the hide nf animals
that have been slaughtered by butch,
ers. IL 1898, "a order to provide the
necessary moneyio pay for this In
spection, the Legislature passed IN act
che second section Of which reads; 6e
"The SAID bourd 20 have power by
resolution to fix q fee or charge for the
inspection of cattle aud hides under
the provisions of said act, which fee
or charge shalt be uniform throughout
the Territory, and shall BIZ u lien upon
cattle ard hides until paid The
amount of such fee or charge may be
increased or diminished from time to
time, as the exigeucies Of the business
Of the board may require
At present the fec for inspection OF
cattle is three cents per head, and for
Hhe inspection IF hides, ten cents each,
and il il 10 this fee the Albuquerque
organization objects. =
The law, as it siauds, is considered
= good one by the cattle sanitary board
for two reasons, First, 1t protects the
cattle owner against cattle thieves, who,
prior to the enactment OF the law, hia'i
90 trouble in selling stolen cattle to
butchers. and the evidences Of theft
were soon destroyed Second, It pre-
tects the general public against the
slaughter OF diseased cattle for sale
over the butchers blocks. II The
butchers themselves would consider the
matter in the proper light, say the
members Of the cattle sanitary board,
il would no take them long, or ats kAAst

In an honorable manner, to rea'ize that

A STRONG PLEA FOR STATEHOOD.

The Denver Post publishes very clio.
quent appeal for statehood for our terri
tory, which the New MEXICAN re-pub-
fishes as one of the best things ever
written on this matter:
FIFTY years have elapsed since New
Mexico became a part of our common
country. Its progress for the first half
of the period was slow. II was treated
as conquered province. 1t had first to
be Americanized before progress could
begin. The wreck of the civilization of
the fifteenth century had to be cleared
away before the spirit of the nineteenth
century could possess the land. The
process required time, but the problem
has worked itself out and the new towns
and cities, the new railroads, the new en-
terprises and the new school houses are
ample evidence of the spirit that now ami
mates the people of New Mexico. To-day
it stretches forth it's hand to the nation
and asks for immigration, for capital, for
men and women able to invest and work
and to transform it's material resources
into active producers of wealth and pros
perity. 1t appeals for statehood as an
assurance of the rights which belong to
all citizens of the republic. These ap.
peals are just and should be granted by
the nation to brave, enterprising, patri-
otto and intelligent people, who opened
wilderness to civilization and pointed out
the pathway to material greatness"

BEET SUGAR IN NEW MEXICO,

In view of the fact that the people of
the United States spend each year $685.
100000 for foreign sugar, and that certain
unoccupied sections of the country are
especially well adapted for sugar beet
culture, it would seem reasonable con-
clusion chat more than abundant profits
await every community with the courage
to engage in this industry. Here in New
Mexico, for example. Impartial analysis
has demonstrated that beets grown in this
territory contain a greater per cent of
sugar than those produced in any other
section of the world. Soil and climate
here tend to make this section particularly
we'll adapted to this crop. The Pecos val
ley has taken the lead in this matter, and
ought to find great number of followers.
If you doubt it look at the results already
attained in that wonderful valley. 1t has
passed the experimental stages long ago,
and few years will see New Mexico the
greatest beet producing section of the
W orld.

The bill now pending in the assembly,
creating district attorneys district out
of Colfax and Union counties is a meri-
torious measure and should become law.
There is no politics in this measure. 1t
would be in the interest of true economy
and for the better and speedier administra-
tion of justice in those two counties, were
the bill to become law. Taos county now
attached to Colfax county for such pur-
pose, should be placed in the LIST judicial
district where it properly belongs. Mora
and San Miguel counties are naturally to-
gether and should be together in oae
district. Such Encouragement of the
counties in districts in the northern part
of the territory would suit vast ma
joritv of the citizens thereof and the as
sembly should act favorably on the bill
IN question.

the CUBAN FAD,

An eastern journal says that the Cuban
question "has become fad at Washing
ton" Possibly this may be true. The
sub ject Of abolition was once fad ,nur-
tured assiduously by several people Of in.
tellectual and moral worth. But for the
grand old party of liberty, reform, reci.
procity and sound money, it might have
been fad to-day, INDUCED in to the
sombre music of clanking chains, e,d all
the dark woes Of slavery. The question
naturally suggests itself, will the same
party become the. champion and defender
OF the enslaved and suffering Cubans?
