for such an appointment, in view of tn.
able and worthy applicants for this honor
among our own people. The New MEX
loan stands firmly for home role. Why
should outsiders get fat appointments to
territorial offices. There has been time
in the history of New Mexico when the
appointment of nonresident officials was
all right. But that time is not now. We
have hundreds of worthy men who have
been closely identified with the develop

titled to the highest positions in the gift
of the government at Washington. Espe-
cially is this true of the party now In
power. President Mckinley had no ADLER

The farming districts of New England
are becoming depopulated. The people
of those sections are emigrating to the
west where the conditions of life are
easier and the opportunities for success
in agriculture are more favorable. New

share of these immigrants seeking favor.

grafton should food New England with
printed matter descriptive of this terri

hungry for such information, and should
be given an opportunity for posting
themselves upon the many advantages
that New Mexico has to offer the immi-

TENNESSEE, Louisiana, Mississippi and
Missouri are suffering from the worst
floods ever known in those states. An
unusually heavy rainfall has swollen the
rivers, lakes and streams, overlooking
thousands of acres of farming country
and causing widespread devastation.
Many lives have been lost and hundreds
of families have been left homeless. The
loss to property will reach the 100000
mark thus far, and the rivers are still
rising. Levees are giving way by the
score and panic reigns in many of the
devastated and threatened districts. Thou.
sands of refugees have been driven to the
larger cities, notably Memphis, where
they are subsisting upon charity.

SUGAR BEET SEED.
The Secretary Of Agriculture Fully
Alive to the Needs OF the
Southwest.

To the Editor of the New Mexican:
Washington, March Is, 1S97.-On in
quiry at the agricultural department to
day relative to sugar beet seed, the secre'
tary said that they had only small
quantity, but that some would be sent to
the experiment station at Las Cruces te
be distributed from there. So any of oul
friends who desire to experiment this
year with different varieties should apply
there promptly.
am glad to say that the new secretary
appears fully alive to the necessities OF
the southwest, and proposes to give spe-
cial attention to the acquisition of forage
plants, etc, that may be of use in soantily
watered regions.

ments. Taxes must be paid and the Of.
acers charged by law to assess and collect
them should do their duty. just because

why he should not make fair return of

AChANCE IN POLICY.

A contemporary says, that certain jingt
organs pretend to discern change fo
the better in Cuban affairs, and that thi
lie all the more curious from the fact thai
there has been no change in the policy Of
this government toward the Weylel
regime.
Surely, he must be blind man indeed,
who does not recognize change for the
better, and while there has been no
change announced 10 the policy of the
government at Washington, the moral ef-
fect of the new administration has been
most eficaolous in bringing about more
humane policy on the part of the Spanish
government, in dealing with American
citizens residing on the war swept island.
Several American prisoners have been
liberated, and two have been pardoned
since the Mckinley government assumed
power. There isa disposition all around,
toward fairer treatment of Americans
who have fallen under the ban of Weyler's
rule.
To what is this sudden change of policy
due?
Is it not reasonable to assume that al
though the new administration made no
formal declaration in regard to its atti-
tude toward the Spanish government, the
officials of that government felt con-
WINGED that change of policy would be
necessary in order to avoid serious COM
plications. Is it not reasonableto assume
that the Spanish officials saw in the new
administration potent defender of
American interests in Cuba, in distinction
to the Cleveland government, constantly
on its knees before Spanish authority.

The Result Of a TarifrOn Wool.

The reported decision of the house
committee to restore substantially the
duties Of the wool and woolens schedule
of 1890 has been expected ever since the
growers and manufacturers came to agree
upon new adjustment. The duties of
1890 have been tested in actual expert
ence. They did actually increase the
number of sheep and the production Of
wool largely, and at the same time they
greatly increased the consumption of
wool in manufacture, the production of
wooden goods, and encouraged the pro-
duotion of many GLASSES of goods never
before made in this country.

us that, despite all the efforts Of mol
ern science, this percentage of the dis
ease in Hawaii has been steadily
maintained, that leprosy is communi
cable disease, that every leper is pos
sible source of danger to all with whom
he may come into intimate and pro
lOnged contact, that foreigners going
to Hawaii from countries where lep-
rosy is unknown have fallen victims
to it, and that within the past ten
years the number OF foreigners sent
to the leper colony has averaged from
three to five per cent. CT the whole
number.
1t is especially alarming to be told
by DR.. Morrow that the people OF this
country, and particularly those of the
Southern States, will be exposed to
great danger from the spread of leprosy
likely to be caused by closer commune
cation with Hawaii. This peril is in
evitable, owing to the establishment OF
more intimate commercial relations,
and is rendered peculiarly menacing by
the fact that foreigners stricken with
the disease return to their own coun-
try for treatment, this being permit
Ted by the Board of Health. Many such
lepers have come back to the United
States already, and the number is
logically bound to increase with the
increased number of Americans going
to Hawaii following annexation. The
warm and moist climate of the South
ern States, we are informed, is espe-
cially favorable to the lodgment and
spread of the disease.
The ancient and dread cry of Room
for the Leper!" seems, therefore, about
to be raised in an inverted sense by
our national legislature. When the
Hawaiian annexation treaty shall have
been passed by Congress and signed by
the President there will, indeed, be
room for the leper-room continent
wide. vast in it's scope for future evil.

THE HAWAIIAN INFAMY,

The Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations will be called upon to de-
eide whether to proceed to ratify the
Hawaiian treaty or to annex the ISL
ands by resolution. The former course
would require a two-thirds vote to
secure the ends sought, while the lat
ter would only require majority
Whatever course is pursued, it is
safe to say, for reasons best known to
the administration, which the admin
istration dare not mention to the pub
lie, this infg nous scheme to annex the
Sandwich Islands will be given every
assistance by the administration and
will be pushed through if it is within
the bounds of possibility. The plain
reason is that the Sugar Trust, which
was foremost in the ranks of the mil
llonaire contributors to Hanna's cam
paign fund last year, desires it IN or
der to get its raw material to this
country free, and that gang of specu-
lators, who have in view, among other
soft snaps, the laying of a cable to
Hawaii, also desire it. AS these plu-
tocrats helped Mckinley to the White
House Mckinley feels in duty bound
to help them to whatever they want,
and the people may be-well we all
remember a certain great plutocrat's
famous ejaculation.
There is no valid reason under
heaven why these far away islands.
thousands of miles out in the Pacific
ocean, should be annexed to this
country. They could be of no benefit
to us in peace or in war. and if we
had them We would have to build ar
other navy to defend them. Imagine,
also, the complications that would
arise in the government of these ISL
ands. Imagine, too, the possibility
of these half-savage south sea islands
ers having the casting vote in ma
tional election in the United States!
But that is not all. 1t will hardly
be pleasant to contemplate being
thrown into closer contact with a race
10 per cent. of which are known ID be
affected with leprosy in its pronounced
form, with vast possibilities of la tent
leprosy which must inevitably develop
into recognizable form with the pass
age of time.
This is what Dr. Prince A. Morrow,
in an unprecedented medical article,
tells us in the current number of the
North American review. He \tells
