Not Necessary to Discuss.

The New MEXICAN says that Hon.
Placido Sandoval rendered his resigna-
ton as territorial superintendent Of
schools, and it was accepted. Then
Colonel Frost adds:
There is no use in discussing the why's
and whereforcs of this action of Mr..
Sandoval. Suffice it for all practical
purposes, that it has been taken.
A highwayman, let us suppose, puts a
pistol to a mans head and compels him
to give up his purse. A friend of the
Knight of the Road says: ''The man
gave up his purse and it was accepted.
There is no use discussing the why's and
wherefores of this action. Suffice it for
all practical purposes, the man gave up
his purse."-Las Vegas Optic.
Our esteemed contemporary, in get
ting off the above, does not seem to
know what it is talking about. How
ever, this is usual. If it must know why
Mr.. Placido Sandoyal resigned. the rea-
sol will be given it. A fact, that is well
established and cannot be denied, is the
Following: During the session of the
Thirty-second legislative assembly a deal
was made between Democratic officials
and certain members of the legislative
council, of which Mr.. Sandoval was
one, to divide the territorial offices
among members of the council and to
raise the emoluments of such, in in
stances where the members of the COM
bine would benefit. This Is a political
trick that is practiced often. In this
instance. however, some of those in the
deal overshot the mark. The statute Is
plain in declaring, that no member of
the legislative council is eligible to hold
an office, the emoluments OF which were
increased during his term as such men,
Der. Mr.. Sandoval received the very
nice Office of superintendent of public
instruction In the deal and the emOlu-
ments of the Office were increased at the
same time. Under the organic act he
was ineligible to hold the Office. He
was to be removed. He asked to be al
lowed to resign, which favor Governor
Otero, in his official discretion, saw fit
to grant. Mr.. Sandoval and his political
friends should be thankful for the favor
granted. But the gang Of Democratic
bosses, controlling the Optic. has neither

things temporal. The popular idea of
the work of any church is that it is to
contine its labors to preparing souls for
the world to come, and that matters out
side of that work do not concern the
ecclesiastical. Rightor wrong, that is the
manner in which the world looks upon
the church these days, and the pope's ef-
fort was doomed to failure orthat reason.
Nevertheless, the good intentions OF the
religious element should not be impugned
the cause was worthy of the trial, and
tn at is all there is to the matter.

elected by a good majority and serving
as u member of the council of the Thirty
second legislative assembly with ability,
efficiency and zeal, and laboring effec-
tually and successfully for good and
wholesome legislation for the county
and territory. In April, 1897, he was
elected to the Office of mayor of this
city, his term expiring within the next
few days. His administration was in
dorsed by the voters of Santa Fe on last
Tuesday by an overwhelming Repub-
lican majority.
Mr.. Spiess has built up for himself dur
ing the seven years of his practice OF the
law a very lucrative business and is
among the foremost of the attorneys OF
the first judicial district. He is well
known to the people of the entire dis
trict and has many staunch friends
among the leading Republicans of the
counties of Santa Fee, Taos, Rio Arriba
and San Juan, composing the district.
The people of this district are greatly
pleased with the appointment, knowing
that it was the best that could have
been made by Governor Otero. Mr..
Spiess has the ability and the knowl-
edge of law to fill the Office with credit
and honor to the appointing power and
to himself and with benefit to the peo'
pie and the administration of justice.
That he stands we'll with the people is
shown by the fact that during the past
five years he has been elected five times
to public Office.
The New MEXICAN is of the opinion
that Mr.. spiess will fulfill the expecta
tions of his many warm friends, ant
will fill the important Office to which lit
has been appointed in Il just, energetic
fearless and capable manner, and vii
do his level best for the great cause o
law and order and for the exact and i'm
partial administration of Justice in this
the First judicial district.

A NATIONAL SANlTARIUM.
New Mexioo's and O~olorado's Climate Com
pared.
From the Denver Republican.

From the Denver Republican,
Delegate FERGUSON of New Mexico
should have no difficulty in inducing
congress to permit the American Invalid
Aid society of Boston to use 100 acres of
public land forming part of the Fort
Stanton military reservation in New Mex
leo for the erection of IA sanitarium for
the treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The land is of little value and the es-
adjustment of the proposed sanitarium
might lead to the erection of more such
institutions in the southwest.
1t is well known that the climate Of
New Mexico is well suited to the treat
ment of pulmonary diseases, and the fed
eral government is sufficiently interested
in the development of that territory to
Justify it in permitting the use of so
small a tract of public land for so worthy
a purpose. 1t would subject the govern
ment to no loss, and it might lead to
great profit for New Mexico. Doubtless
the result of the proposed experiment
would be made known to all the east.
The climate of the Rocky mountain
states and territories may justly be
counted among their permanent resour-
ces. 1t cannot be hurt by the presence
of many invalids, and the greater the
number of such persons who may take
advantage of it the greater will be the
revenues of the communities in which
they may make their homes.
No Colorado man can in reason object
to the establishment of sanitarinms OF
the kind suggested in New Mexico. The
climate of that territory has some ad-
vantages over that of Colorado. But on
the other hand, Colorado's climate has
what would generally be considered com
pensating advantages of its own. The
climate of New Mexico is milder and the
air softer. That of Colorado is more
bracing and e%xhilarating. The former
may be more suited for persons TAI. adj
vanced in a pulmonary complaint. That
of Colorado is better for those who have
more vitality and are therefore more
capable of taking outdoor exercise.

THE New MEXICAN just at present has
not much time to do anything else ex-
cept to publish the news of interest to
New Mexico, to do all it can for the ad
vancement Of the territory, to build up
the Republican party, work for Re-
publican success and do good even to its
enemies in the newspaper line and else
where. This keeps this paper quite
busy; hence it must leave newspaper
fights alone and therefore it let's the
other fellows do the jawing and the

1874 separate analysis, chiefly carload lots, showed AN
AVERAGE of 17o1 per cent sugar in beet; S4.1 per
cent purity.
THIS REMARKABLE RESULT was accomplished by
raw farmers, unacquainted with the culture of beet
root, on new land and under very trying circum.
stances, as the factory was not assured until May, and
a majority of the acreage was planted between JUNE
1st AND AUGUST 10th.

Army Surgeons.

~R. Semi. as assistant surgeon
lO) general Of the United States and
chief OF the operating staf with
the army in the field. contributes a
highly interesting article to the Journal
Of the American Medical association on
military surgeons. Dir. Sem says ne
has found that. as a rule, the surgeon OF
the volunteer regiment Is much more ad-
vanced in the profession than his broth
er in the regular service. on the other
hand. the latter has a military training
which is Of much value and which gives
him a point OF great advantage over th'
volunteer surgeon. The volunteer sur
geon is usually a better doctor thar
the regular because he is fresh from
active general practice and competi-
ton. in which he has been compelled
to keep abreast with the latest advances
in medical science and practice. The
regular army surgeon has no practice
except in army posts, and no great in
centive TO study. DIT. Senn says that
surgeons in the regular army. after they
reach the rank of major. sometimes be-
come fossilized. But the military
knowledge which all surgeons in the
regular army possess is Of i~ncalulable
value to him and the service. 1t gives
