The first issue of the Dona Ana County
Republican was made Yesterday at Las

Mr.. Anderson needs no introduction to

still continue under his management, he
has proved himself good news
gatherer and staunch defender of the
principles of the Republican party. The

with Dona Ana comfy news, and there is

THERE seems to be a question rs to
whether New Mexico's coal oil inspector
inspects in the interest of the people of
New Mexico or in the interest of the
Standard Oil company, or whether in fact
he inspects at all. With an inspector who
would attend to business how would it be
possible for this corporation to palm off
upon the people grade of oil not fit for

In View Of the Doubt.

In view of doubt which appears to
exist as to the guilt of two of the men con-
demned to death for the murder of Frank
Chavez, at Santa Fe, the respite granted
by President Cleveland is not amiss. The
evidence of guilt should be uncontro-
vertible before a man is deprived of his
life.-Dona Ana Republican.

As STATED in a previous issue of the
New MEXICAN, the bill providing for a
tax of 20 per cent on the gross earnings
of the Standard Oil company, ought to be
80 amended as to compel the company to
furnish better quality of oil. Suppose
the measure now before the legislature
were to become law without the provision
above mentioned, what will be the result !?
The company will simply increase the
price of its worthless product, and the
tax will come out of the pockets of CON
sumers. What the people want is pro
lection, not increased price of worthless

The Compilation of the Laws Neces
atty.

The compilation of the territorial laws
has been conceded on all sides to be an
urgent necessity. For the past four years
the bench and bar of the territory have
complained of the conglomerate accumu-
lation of laws as source of hardship to
the legal profession. No word of oppo-
siton was heard until public printer
was appointed, but now, through selfish
or vindictive motives, determined op.
position has sprung up, with the plainly
apparent animus of curtailing the bust
ness of the public printer. Had any one
of the few newspapers which now oppose
the bill been given the position of public
printer, the one 80 chosen would have
been as ardent champion as it is now
an antagonist of the bill. The members
of the legislature should not allow the
business rivals of newspapers ner the
personal animosities of individuals
to intercept them in the line of duty.
The bill for the compilation of the laws
should be passed without delay.-Silver

1t Would BE a Wise Thing to Compile
the LAWS.

If a man wants to know what the laws
of New Mexico are on any particular
point he is in luck if he can find what he
wants to know. He will generally begin
with the Compiled Laws of 1884. He
may find what he wants and is satisfied,
unless he happens to think that perhaps
it has been amended. He then goes
to hunting through ths half dozen
books of session laws, if he is lucky
enough to have them. He finds no two
of them indexed alike, and the more he
hunts the less be finds. Finally in des-
pair he quits and goes out and kills a
Chinaman, confident, like Roy Bean, of
Texas, that there is no law prohibiting
such sports. The Compiled Laws of 1884
and many of the session laws are out of
print and it is impossible to get them.
When new precinct is organized it is
impossible to furnish the officers with q
copy of the laws, and 80 they have to
run their offices by guess work. It would
be sacrllege to intimate that the average
justice of the peace could guess as we'll
as the legislature could legislate. The
present legislature would do wise thing
II it would provide for the early com
pilaton of the laws and the Liberal
hopes is will not neglect to do so.-Lord

Finance committee to offer several

so as to put the Republicans on record,
and they count upon having the co-opera-

that he Will demand certain concessions,
most of them effecting western interests,
