SION The administration has been
anxious 10 secure his services, as his
long experience in public life and es-
pecially his experience as chairman of
the appropriations committee of the

Senator Allison, in acknowledging
the honor offered, explained that the
interests of his state in the senate and
his desire to continue former vigorous
participation in the shaping of legis-

would preclude his taking up the ar
duous duties at Paris that would de-
mand SO much time and serious work.

The reports coming from the beet sug-
ar factory at Eddy show tina the sue.
cess of the season of 1865 has beer be-
yond all expectation. The factory is
shipping sugar by the a load to all the
towns in the southern part of the terri
tory, into Texas and the south general
ly. 1t is estimated that it will require
623 factories the size of the one at Eddy
to supply the demand for sugar in the
United States, without taking into con-
sideration the constant increase in the
demand. Santa Fe ought to be the To-
cation of one of hat number Of facto-
ries. Conditions in this city and sur
rounding country are more favorable
for the growing Of beets and the lar
facture of sugar than anywhere else in
the whole country, and the business men
and property owner of the city will be
guilty of gross business neglect and
foresight if they do not at once take
hold of the matter and secure a factory
in the neal future. There is no time like
the present to start the enterprise.

construction of the Nicaragua canal.
It's naval necessity is recognized as be-
ing no less pressing than its CONNER
cial. There is no reason, however, why
an avenue of communication, a new
route of transportation so valuable to
the United States as hat one is sure to
become, should not be utilized by the
American people to the fullest extent.
Were that canal now in existence,
while it might be helpful to American
interests and commerce., to the imports
and exports of the nation, there would
be no particular benefit to American
shipping, for the reason that American
shipping is not extensive enough to par
ticipate in it's benefits, and it is to be
wondered if that shipping will be on
the seas when the canal is completed.
If five years are consumed in the con-
struction of the canal, that period will
be too short for American shipping to
have succeeded to my great portion of
the carrying of American imports and
exports under present conditions. True,
there is at the present time great actiV-
ity in ship building in American yards,
but it will require a long time to con-
struct vessels in sufficient number to
carry the of the United
States in American bottoms. Also,
while the United States is able to build
ships as cheaply as other nations, it is
not being done, and the changes made
in that way the past decade will have
to be carried to a greater length than
they have. The ship builders of Europe
are i~ntrenched and backed VI with al
most unlimited capital, have mastered
every detail of the May intricacies of
the business, to all of which the great
majority of the American builders e-e
comparative strangers.
The opportunity for American ships
to share in the vast business which the
Nicaragua canal is expected to develop
should not be lost sight of or sidetrack-
ed by congress. The construction of
the canal and the revival of American
shipping should go hand in hand.

If the members of the 33d legislative
assembly, which convenes the third
Monday of neXt month, will provide for
a constitutional convention, to be held
some time the coming summer, a long
step toward securing statehood for New
Mexico will be taken. One of the things
necessary in this matter is to convince
the eastern members of congress that
the people of the territory are in ear
nest in the matter of statehood, and the
most convincing argument that can be
presented will be to prepare a consti-
tuition and submit it to a vote of the
people the coming fall. New Mexico is
