Do Not Overlook New Mexico.

Last fall it was predicted that early
in the spring ar unprecedented rush for
the mines in the Klondike region would
set in. Winter has not yet given way
to the milder season of the year, but the
predicted exodus has already begun.
Every vessel sailing from the ports on
the Pacific coast carries hundreds Of
hungry gold seekers, while the west
bound trains carry thousands who
dream of the golden treasures to be had
for the asking in that far away and in
hospitable land.
What the result will be can only be
determined by the future. OF the hard
ships to be suffered by the men who are
making the trip and who are arranging
to 90 later on, people know something
from the many articles that have been
published in papers and magazines in
the past year. What the reward of suf-
fering and hardship will prove to be de-
ponds largely upon the energy and in
dustry of each individual miner. That
there is gold in the frozen ground, there
is no doubt; that it can be gotten out
has been proved; that all of the yellow
metal to be mined is needed in the com
mercial transactions of the world there
is no question, and the stay-at-home
people will wish the adventurous every
success in the world. AT the same time
the New MEXICAN cannot but be Of the
| opinion that the same amount of money
and energy expended in this territory
would produce more lasting results,
while the comforts Of working in this
| climate will more than Offset the posi-
BILE and problematical gains to be de-
rived from a journey to the frozen north.

Il Must Be Admitted.

Not many months past it was the favor
lite pastime of Democrats and Democratic
newspapers to sheer at the prosperity
promised by the Republican party, and
to ask Fictitious questions concerning
the arriving time of the prosperity
train. For the past three months the
inclination in the circles mentioned to
ask about General Prosperity" has not
been so pronounced, in fact the war
scare has come as a welcome diversion
from the subject by the free trader.
This point was well illustrated a few
days ago on a passenger train as it
passed through the territory on its way
west. A party of gentlemen was
gathered in the smoking compartment
of a parlor car, engaged in a general
conversation, when the subject of pro-
lection and prices was preached. One
man, after listening for a short time,
said: II am a cattle man from Kansas.
For a number of years past l have had a
hard time to keep my business from go
ing to the bad, but now | am making
money. Under present conditions it
would be difficult to convince a cattle
owner or buyer that the Republican
party has not brought prosperity" The
gentleman who brought up the matter
changed the subject at once and nc
more was heard in n political way on
that train.
The fact of the matter is, that while
there is a depression in some lines of in.
dustry which is caused by conditions
arising from cause beyond the province
of legislation, prosperity has arrived on
schedule time and the men who are en-
gagged in the greater number Of com
mercial enterprises admit the fact
those who are honest in their express
sions attribute the change to the re-
sumption of a policy of protection, re-
CARELESS of political beliefs. The next two
years will compel those who will not now
admit that protection has brought about
better things, to admit that a tariff for
revenue, or tariff for reform, as it is
called, worked disaster to the entire
country. Object lessons are sometimes
needed to make impressions upor
minds so constituted that moth
ing short of q practical demonstra
tion will convince. That lesson was
learned in the years from 1892 to 1896.

RESPONSIBILITY is a wonderful bloc

RESPONSIBILITY is a wonderful blood
cooler. At the time the Maine was de-
stroyed the demand of the great majority
of the American people was for war at
once. Flight first and ask for %explana-
lions after" was heard on every hand.
As time passes and the gravity of the
situation becomes better known, the
horrors of modern warfare better UNI
derstood and the knowledge that the
responsibility for the terrible results of
a conflict with Spain would rest upon the
American people should they act with
out allowing the mystery which sur
rounds the sinking of the warship to be
Investigated, public opinion has under
gone a wonderful change. President
McKinley's conservative and careful
position is universally commended, ant
while numberless men are ready t(
avenge the death of the men on the ILL
fated ship, they are DESTROYS that the
facts in the matter be fully determined

expected that It should. In this case.
as in most cases in life, it seems to make
a good deal of difference. whose OK is
gored. Whenever the Democratic news
papers or Democratic politicians can
find the least excuse to assail Republic
an officials or Republican papers they
do so; indeed in many cases they have
done so and are doing so today without
any cause whatever. All kinds of cor
ruption, dishonesty and misdoing are
charged and iterated and reiterated by
these papers and men against Republic
ans and Republican officials and Re-
publican newspapers. But when the
shoe Is put upon the other foot and a
Republican paper or Republican oifi-
cial makes any charges against Demo-
Gratis or Democratic oficeholders, then
there is a howl of persecution, party
hatred, bitter partisan feelings, inius-
tice and the like.
This sort of a howl, however, has no
effect on the New MEXICAN and will
have none. 1t will call a spade a spade
and will hit official corruption and Off
cial ~misdoings, whenever it discovers
such, and certainly will not be mealy
mouthed about such matters. If this
course is not liked. that cannot be
helped. This paper has a duty to per
form by the people and by the Repub
lican party and proposes to perform
1t.
This paper has been furnished and i:
promised more information that viii

that have existed in several offices anC
in several territorial institutions under
the late very much unlamented and un
regretted Democratic regime, and this
information will be given to the people

done good work in that direction ant

as the consequences are concerned

GOVERNOR OTERo will do his duty un.

lated to benefit the best interests of the
territory. Howls and insinuations from
Democratic papers and politicians who

ago Judge Parker, the Democratic candidate for

This tremendous change was due to a variety OF
causes One was that a great rainstorm kept
the Republican farmer voters away from the
polls Another was that there was considerable
dissension among the Republicans Of Buffalo be-
cause OF disappointIIents over the nomination.
John ~ Scatcherd was a worthy candidate for

with a practically unanimous vote. Then the
