GET TING BACK HOME.

1.-The best part OF going away from
home, this writer remarked in these
columns a good many years ago, lis
getting back again" And he has
never returned from any journey
small or great, when he has not felt,
if he did not say, the same thing. 1t
is particularly true at this time, when
TO get back hO,le is to come again
into the full tide of a splendid pros
perity, and To see and hear on every
hand the evidences OF a growth and
progress such as only lola, of all the
towns in the state, can furnish.
The past five weeks have been the
"dog days the dullest in the year
ordinarily, when those who remain
are supposed to relax their energies
and suspend their labor and enter
prise tothe last degree. And yet
during those past five weeks changes
have been made in lola which make
the returning absentee stare in won
der. Business buildings which were
at the foundations when he went
away are now ready for the roof.
The great new school house, which
was hole in the ground five weeks
ago, has now reared it massive
walls TO the first story, giving
promise of the splendid proper
lions it will assume when com
pleted. AZ the old smelters new
blocks of furnaces have been con-
structed. Contracts have been made
for three new smelters and work is
beginning on them. Three new gas
wells have been opened, each of them
crowding the 10000, 600 mark. New
residences have gone up in every
direction, and new enterprises of
great magnitude are just coming in
sight. Truly the dog days for once
have belied their name and the past
five weeks have been, among the
busiest rather than among the dullest
lola ever saw.

J. A. Ancheta, Republican Nominee for Council
from Eighth District.

Hon. j. A. Ancheta, Republican can
didate for the legislative council from
the counties of Dona Ana and Grant, is
one of the young men of the territory to
whom honors come deservedly, and his
nomination in the 9Th district has great
" strengthened the Republican ticket
in the two counties composing it.
Mr.. Ancheta was born in Mesilla,
Dona Ana county, on July 81, 1865, and
received his education in st. Michael's
college in Santa Fe and Notre Dame
university. Indiana. where he received
a diploma as a civil engineer and the
degree Of bachelor of laws. In 1856 he
was admitted to the Indiana bar by the
supreme court of hat state, and in De-
cember of the same year was admitted
to the New Mexico bar. Shortly after
ward he was appointed district attor-
ney for the Sd judicial district, which
office he filled with credit to himself
and the satisfaction of the people of the
district.
Politically, Mr.. Ancheta has been an
ardent Republican from his boyhood,
and in 1890 was rewarded for his faith
full work for the success of the party in
Grant and Dona Ana counties by an
election to the council of the Goth legis-
lative assembly.
The legislature, when it met the fol-
lowing January, took UP the bill intro
duced to establish public schools in the
territory, and Mr.. Ancheta became an
ardent advocate of the measure. His
work to pass that bill and the attempt

New Mexico Benefited BY Protection,

AS a slight indication of what the
Republican policy of protection has
done toward opening the markets of the
world to American products, the fol-
lowing figures will be of interest to the
free traders: For nine months ending
September 1, the exports from this
country to foreign lands amounted to
1888. 367, 1862. Or $196, 800. 1856 more than for
the same period in 1895, when the Will
son tariff law was in effect. The I'M
crease in the sales of cattle abroad
amounted to about 81, 900, 900, and it is
safe to say that the people of New Mex
leo received their share of that amount.
The foreign demand for meats not only
benefited the cattle men. but the sheen
men as well, as the great advance in
prices the past two years positively in
dicates. The voters of the territory will
hardly say by their ballots that q con-
dition of that kind is no longer wanted
by voting for a Democratic delegate tC
congress and Democratic members of
the legislature. The record IN the tariff
question made by the Democratic party
in the past years is such that tho
frlendliness TO protection professed by
the Democrats of New Mexico at this
time will moi deceive any one.

made 10 assassinate him while the bill
was pending, are known to the people
of the territory too we'll to require re-
peating here. In 1895, Mr.. Ancheta was
again elected to the council, and his
services in that body, during both terms
Of which he was Il member, were of the
highest and most approved order. To
his efforts the territory owes the enact
ment of some of the most beneficial leg
islation now on the statutes of New
Mexico.
Mr.. Ancheta is still a young man, but
his abilities as a legislator, a lawyer
and as a private citizen are so marked
that prominence has been forced upon
him more than sought. Personally, he
is Of a quiet, ~unassuming nature, but
for all that, he is justly entitled to tho
esteem with which he is held by all who
know him. As q member of the $50
Legislative assembly, Mr.. Ancheta will
do much toward giving the territory
needed and sound legislation and he will
undoubtedly be elected by a large ma
jority.

Every Man Should Do His Duty.

The territory Of New Mexico contains
an area equal in extent to the six New
England states, New York and New
Jersey. Within her boundaries are in
exhaustible deposits of gold and silver,
copper and lead, coal and sulphur, and
many other ores of value and utility;
the valleys are fertile and productive,
the grazing lands are of vast extent;
the population numbers more than 20O,-
600 people, and still statehood is denied,
by congress.
Those who are in a position to know
the real situation are firm in their belief
that statehood would result in develop
| ing the mines, settling up the vacant
lands, building railroads through those
| parts of the territory which are nov
| without transportation facilities to the
| outside world, and covering the plains
and mesas with herds of cattle and
sheep; in fact, would make of New
Mexico what nature intended, n OF
the most populous and prosperous sec
| lions of the United States. Statehood
is apparently the one thing needed to
solve the questions of taxation and
debt. which are now perpleXing the
| people. and in view of the many good
| reasons for admitting the territory as
a state, the proper steps should be
| taken to accomplish that end.
There is but one way to succeed, and
that is to elect a Republican delegate
to congress and a Republican majority
to the 33d legislative assembly. Just SO
long as the members of congress from
the northern and eastern states have
reason to believe that the people of
New Mexico are welded to political fall
lacies, are worshipping false gods and
refuse to say by their ballots that they
believe in those principles which have
brought prosperity to the country at
large, just that long will statehood be
denied.
On November S the voters will have
an opportunity to place themselves in
the right light before the states, and
that opportunity must not be allowed to
pass and thus defer statehood for many
years. Hon. Pedro Perea, the Republic
can candidate for delegate to congress,
is worthy of every vote in the territory;
as a member Of congress he will COM
mand the respect of the congressman
and senators; his knowledge Of the CON
ditions and requirements Of the terri
tow will h1n him IN nrnGS those mat
tiers which are Of vital Importance with
a marked degree Of success. On cleo
ton day every nan in the territory is
expected to do his duty in aiding to Sc
| cure statehood, and duty demands that
Mr.. Pereo must be elected.
