Goat Culture in New Mexico.

New Mexican.
G. s.. Onderdonk, of Lamy, was in the
city yesterday. He is gong along
slowly but surely with HE project of
raising goats. He has made contracts
for the purchase of several herds, has
contracted for the wire and the fence
poles wherewith to fence the Canada
de Los Alamos and Lamy grants, con
tanning together about $1,000 acres,
which he has leased, and is looking
about TO purchase more goats. He
wants the common Mexican variety.
The skins of this variety are very good
for certain grades OF ladies' and chill
dren's shoes. Goat skins Of which
many millions are being used in this
country, are now imported from
Europe. There is no good reason why
goats cannot be raised as well and
cheapiy in New Mexico as anywhere
in southern Europe. AT any rate Mr..
O%nderdonk will give the scheme an
exhaustive trial in New Mexico and
feels confident of success.

The answers can come right now.
The gamers by this consolidation are
the people of Las Vegas, who will get
better service at less price. The con-
%solidatiou of the two papers was the
work of the Las Vegas people, no one
influence prcdominating over the
others; and the beneficiary of the
measure is Las Vegas herself.

If anybody has been in doubt as to
the causes of business depression in
this country during the last few years
Frank E. Ormsby, a Chicago astro-
logger, can clear up his d%ubitation in
short order. The reason simply is that
for many years back 1.-THE planet Jupiter
has not entered a mental sign free of
conjunctions, Affections as they are
called" On January 18th it entered
one of those signs "unafilicted,' and
prosperity will follow at once. 1t will
probably be news to a majority of per-
sons that Jupiter is the planet which
governs affairs of a business nature,
and that everything depends on It's
conjunciions, oppositions and orbital
entanglements. From the date named
it will have free sailing, and everything
will boom-a forecast which might be
more encouraging If the order to which
Mr.. Ormsby belongs were prophets of
more honor in their own country.

What will be the attitude Of this coun-
try can surely admit of no doubt. What
ever may have been our differences with
the United States. the heart OF our people
will go out to the great attempt to be
made to lberate an American colony from
q cruel yoke. We have no quarrel with
Spain, and doubtless our government Will
observe neutrality If war takes place.
But the careful policy of government,
right and proper as 1t is, is not and cam
not be identical with the real sympathi@S
Of the people and these sympathies will
be manifested in the Clearest way. 1t IS
not q case for the cold logic of lawyers.
but for the warm heart of q people which
beats in unison with the cause of human
ity. One hears rumOrs of European lean
ings of a very different character, but 1t
may be taken as quite certain that Spain
will have no allies. She will fight alone,
and the end Of war will be beyond qucs-
ton the liberation of Cuban soil from her

Had the people OF the United States been

been declared before now not, s is false

mCrCial interests. but on grounds of hu-
manity, and because of the intOlerable
stencil OF this open sore close to the bor-
derS of the great republic. The people
have, however, been on the whole calm.
and have quite wisely supported the pres
ident in his humane and friendly meth
OdS, while the speaker of the house Of
representatives has. with great tact and
energy, ressed the zeal of congress.
But it is evident that the time of action
has arrived, and that President Mckinley
must take such steps as to challenge in
the most direct way the right of Spain TO
murder her revolted culonistS any longer
ii Spain, in word, attempts to resist
the provisioning of Cuban starving people
from American ports war there will ana
must be, quite apart from any treaChery
toward an American warship. So much
is certain.
