aud powerful leaders, concerning the APP
pointment Of a clerk OF this district by
Judge Nellie, but truth and candor
compel this to be done. 1t was under
stood some time ago that Mr.. A. NJ.
Bergere, of Valencia county. would be
appointed. There were no other candi-
dates in the field. There were several
names suggested, but it is an absolute
fact that no other person made an appli-
cation Or filed any papers.
Judge McFie thought best TO select
Mr.. Bergere, who had strong Republic
can influence to back him. had no oppO-
sition from any quarter and no other
candidates to contend with. There is
no good reason known why Mr.. Bergere
should not make a competent, accomo-
dating and capable official and the
New MEXICAN believes, that such will
be the case. He will move his fam
lily here from Valencia county and
become "a resident of this city. This is
also satisfactory. He is a good Republic
can and qualified for the position, and
this also is very satisfactory.
In the mean time, if our esteemed
friends, above alluded to, will stick to
their mutton and leave Republican NUT
ton alone, they will aid their di%gestions,
save their temper and have stronger
and more steady nerves.

Valuable Work Of the Land Court.

The United States court OF private
land claims, now in session in Santa Fe,
has unquestionably rendered New Mex
leo services of great and enduring value.
For many years the development of the
superb mineral and agricultural re-
sources of this immense territorial en-
pire was almost hopelessly retarded by
the many and seriously complicated con.
troversies over land titles, growing out
of the fact that much OF the territory
was plastered over with either valid OF
pretended grants of large areas of land
made many years ago to different per
sons by the governments of Spain ant
Mexico or their alleged agents.
Efforts to dispose of these ruinous con
trovcrsies and clear upland titles PROVED
virtually futile until the creation of this
court, clothed with the amplest author
ity by congress to fathom the mysteries
surrounding titles in New Mexico, win
now the wheat of truth from the mass OF
worthless chat and straw. forever con
firm to the rightful owners all valid
claims and return to the public domain
such grants as were shown by exhaustive
and patient investigation to be merely
pretended affairs.
This court, which may truthfully be
termed one of the ablest and most
learned iuries that ever passed upon
questions of fact, has performed the
important work assigned to it by con-
gress deliberately, patiently, conscien'
tiously and with an unquestioned pur'
rose to deal out even and exact justice
to all. Like all human agencies, doubt
less IL has made errors, but in the main
its adiudications have been so clearly
equitable that even the criticism of the
most stubborn and confident litigants
has been disarmed, and undoubtedly its
labors have benefciently dissipated the
murky clouds of distrust that so long
shrouded our titles and have rem
dered it possible from now on for in
vestors in mines, agricultural and
pastoral lands and irrigation enter
prises to procure as good titles in New
Mexico as can be secured anywhere else
in the broad domain Of Uncle Sam.
The dubious quitclaim need no longer
be used here. 1t is now possible either
to obtain patents from the government
direct or warranty deeds from the pri-
vate owners Of any form Of realty in
New Mexico. This Is obviously a great
point gained and In a large degree &C.
counts for the fresh, vigorous and
healthy activity that Is now witnessed
an all parts OF the territory.
Capital is no longer timidly waiting,
but Is eagerly seeking investment in the
development of u varied and splendid
resources. This satisfactory condition
will become more pronounced as the
procession Of the months passes by and
long neglected New Mexico will soon
command respect and recognition every
where. As already intimated, much Of
the credit for this hopeful and pleasing
state Of affairs Is fairly due to the good
work OF the United States court Of pri-
vate land claims.

The Las Vegas Examiner announce
that the publication of that paper will at
ono be suspended, the plant having
been merged with the Optic plant. This
bears out the report published in yester-

the nice and fat little Office he has been
appointed to and the Republicans will
have no paper in Las Vegas. This is a
good thing for Mr.. Carruth, the Optic

wealthy wife of an ex-Congressman
/ and the wife of far from rich bureau
chief. 1t was a crowded afternoon af-
fair and the ex-Congressman's wife
/ was assisting the hostess in receiving
guests. When the wife of the bureau
official was presented the hostess said
to the woman of the receiving party:
"You know Mrs. Blank, don't you?"
Certainly" said the ex-Congressman's
wife. Il would know her anywhere by
that pink dress"

wife were suffused with rosy glow.
but she turned on her tormentor and
said: Probably il my husband had
been mixed up in as many questionable
transactions as yours. madam, 1t would
not be necessary for me to wear my
pink reception dress 80 often as to
cause comment"
Every word rang out clear and sharp
upon the ears of the astonished guests.

his connection with questionable lobby
