tory outside of the commonwealth to
which they belong. No governor would
or could be required to respond to IA call
for a force of militia to invade a foreign
country or to leave the state. To avoid
complications the president, in case of
war, would act on the assumption that
there is no militia in any of the states,
and if the regular army was not suf1i-
cient, call on the governors Of the states
and territories to furnish volunteers for
service.
In the event of such a call organized
bodies of militia, or National Guard,
could volunteer in a body, every man
consenting. Officers from colonel down
to the non-commissioned men would be
appointed by the governors of the states
to command the troops volunteering for
service, but for the president is reserved
the appointment of all general officers.
This being the case it would not be an
easy matter for men to enlist. The first
call for volunteers would be filed from
among men of perfect health, and those
who would come up to the requirements
of enlistment in the most minute par
ticular. The first army OF volunteers
sent to the field would be composed OF
the finest body Of men ever seen in the
world in uniform. Uncle Sam has more
than 10000, 900 men to pick from in Sc
lecting an army, and there is no occa'
sion for taking any but the best. Ii
however, the first levy OF volunteers die
not prove enough, then the ordinary
man, physically, would stand some show
OF fighting for his country.
The members of the National Guard
can retain their membership in that or
ganization without any fear of being
sent to the front against their individual
wishes, unless occasion should arise fol
defending the territory against an in
vading force, or there should be an up
rising in New Mexico against law ant
order which could not be suppressed b.
the sheriffs and their deputies.

| ceived Information that the accumulated
| snow in the mountains Is much less than
ii was last year at the corresponding
time. This is bad news, for the reas on
that unless there shall be a heavy fall
during the remainderof the season there
may be a shortage of water for irriga-
ton.
The best ground for hope that the
snowfall already in the mountains will
prove adequate, is the fact that there
were several severe storms early in the
season, and the early snow is that which
is most likely to pack. Snow which
packs hard in the early part of the win
ter melts all the more slowly In the
spring and early summer. 1t is on this
account that storms in the spring, al
though they may be accompanied by a
great deal of snow, are less valuable to
irrigators. The sun Is then so powerful
that the SHOWS of April do not pack
sufficiently to lie a long time.
The amount of snow In the mountains
is to be considered in still another light.
1t is a theory, though not yet estab-
lished, that when there is a large
amount of snow during winter there is
likely to be a heavy precipitation on the
plains in the spring and summer. There
has seemed to be some such connection,
though the subject has not been suffi-
ciently investigated to show whether
this relation exists or not. In the event
that a light snowfall means a light pre-
cipitation, it may be expected that a
shortage Of water in the streams will not
be made up by a greater than average
fall of rain.
Although agriculture in Colorado Is
dependent upon irrigation, it Is helped
out by the rains that come in spring and
early summer. Upon the amount OF
this precipitation depends in some re-
spects the success of the crops sown In
March and April. When the rainfall Is
heavy it often is not necessary to irr1-
gate at all in order to make the seed
sprout. Upon an average the precipita-
tion of March, April, May, June and
July is just q little short of what is
needed to bring crops to maturity. But
in some years it is so small that it is
hardly worth taking into consideration
as an aid to irrigation. 1t is evident,
therefore, that If a light snowfall in
wolves a small rainfall, the conditions
under which irrigators most need the
aid of rain are those under which they
have the least ground to hope for such
assistance.-Denver Republican.

Not Worth While IrYina.

After all, the American people must
be a hard lot. Early in the present cen
fury Charles Dickens visited the United
States and in Martin Chuzzlewit told to
the world what he thought of the then
young nation. Mr.. Dickens lived to see
the day when he changed his opinion
of the Americans. pretty generally, al
though it must be admitted that some OF
the characteristics of the patriots, as he
styled them, which were so revolving to
him still lingcr on the outskirts of So
ciety in the land of the free and the
home of the brave to this day.
When the famous author retracted
the greater part of his criticisms, the
country took heart and tried to live
down the slanderous effect, and for Il
time the people looked upon themselves
as fairly civilized and well behaved.
With the building Of steamships ocean
travel became less oDorous and fire.
quent visitors of note came across the
water, remained long enough to go
Summing in New York, to attend a few
ward political meetings, and went home
laboring under the impression that they
had seen all there was to be seen in the
bloody, blooming country. OF course
these persons were of the variety who
write books of travel OH short notice,
and they iterated what Mr.. Dickens
said years before. This has not worried
Americans very much for the source
was always considered. Then again, in
recent years different lords, counts,
kinglets and other things have come
over and married American beauties
and spent their money to such an ex-
tent that we'uns began to really be-
lieve that Americans were fairly de-
cent.
1t seems, however, that such Is not
the case. The Most Reverend Meyer,
an English evangelist who has been
touring the country in the laudable en-
deavor to civilize and refine the regen-
crate Americans, has returned to his
beloved isle and publicly declares the
United States to be a wicked nation
whose public men are travelling the road
that is said to be paved with good inten-
tions at lightning speed.
AS this last opinion comes from a
clergyman, a man who would not under
any circumstances misrepresent the
conditions of society in this country, it
must be that Mr.. Dickens was correct
in his first impressions of the Ameri-
cans, and we have not grown any more
refined or more moral in all these years
of struggles for higher things. Its no
use; we are born uncouth, wicked and
perverse, what Is bred in the bone
can't be beaten out of the flesh. Just
as well give up trying and take life
comfortably, content in the knowledge
that when our girls have money enough
they are married by foreigners for their
beauty and gr%aciousness.

WHATEVER the enemies of the NEW
MEXICAN may say, they cannot deny
that all matters of a minor nature have
ever been subservient to the public veal
and that the paper has a~ssiduously la
bored in the field of territorial advance
ment. No industry, no improvement,
no resource has been sighted, and evil
dences of the productiveness of such a
course are manifested on every side. 1t
should be borne in mind that this work
is invariably unremunerative, and often
times a source of loss to the manage
ment of the paper. Perhaps it has not
occurred to some people, that the mar
row-gauged opinions of a peanut poll
tician or the two-bit interest of a citizen
on some immaterial question of the pres
emit, are not of sufficient import to out
weigh the good a live newspaper accom-
plishes in a lifetime.

THIS is the time of the year for coun-
see that fair returns are made on all
property in the territory. The time for
collectors to be vigilant runs from the
the first day Of January to the last day
of December. If taxpayers once learn
that taxes have to be paid there will not
be much trouble in collecting them, but
the old habit of lodging payment for
two or three orfour years and then 60
ing before the county commissioners
and effecting q compromise will have to
be broken up.

Governor Otero has determined that
his administration shall be Republican.
He evidently does not intend to be called
a Mugwump. While not prepared to
give a legal opinion as to the legality of
A. B. Falls tenure of Office, or that Of
the newly named successor, yet the
governor seems to have the inside track
at present. But he should not select
Judge Fall as the sole object Of his ire;
there are some Republicans and Mug
wumps who are as deep in the mud as
Fall, and should be treated the same as
him. They were in the deal with Fall
and have no better title to their posi-
tions than A. B. Fall. Let the law take
its full course, and justice prevail

Safety OF Life in New Mexico.

The murder record of South Carolina
for the ten days ending ON Wednesday
was ten, a killing every day. The great
er number of the killings were unpro-
voked and without extenuatlng circum-
stances.
Had ten murders taken place in New
Mexico in ten days the eastern press
would have been filed with flaming head
lines telling of the lawless character OF
the people Of the territory, and every
body would have been warned to stay
away from such a dangerous locality.
As it is the matter is passed owe as an
ordinary happening and no Importance
is attached to ten murders in ten days.
The fact of the whole matter Is that
nowhere else in the United States is life
more safe than in New Mexico. The
records of death from criminal violence
in the territory will bear out this state
ment. There may have been q time
when such was not the case, but that
time passed away with the disappear
ance of the Apaches, and the disbanding
of what few gangs of outlaws infested
the territory. and that took place long
after the southern states were supposed
to have become civilized. Anyone con-
templating a visit to the wild and woody
southwest need not hesitate for fear OF
losing his life in q sudden manner from
q dose of rapidly projected lead. Lead
is used in the smelters of the territory
for luxing purposes, and as o market
able product, very seldom as a mean OF
shedding blood.

There lived in the west Of England
an enthusiastic geologist-a doctor Of
divinity and chairman Of the quarter
sessions. A farmer who had seen him
presiding on the bench saw him shortly
afterward seated by the roadside on a
heap Of stones, which he was busily
breaking in search Of fossils. The farm
er refined up his horse, gazed on him for

alton of the mutability of human things
then exclaimed n mingled tones Of pity
and surprise:

An Erroneous Idea.

The impression prevails that should
war with any foreign nation occur, the
National Guard would be called out for
active service, and no doubt some Of the
guardsmen in the territory have felt a
little shaky over the matter. Not that
the members of the New Mexico Ma
tional Guard are not as brave and pa
triotic as any other men, or in any other
part Of the United States, but that such
. feeling is only natural. However,
such Is not the case.
It would bs illegal for the president
to order the guard Of any state or terri

Gives His Reasons.

Friday Governor Oero issued a par
don to a mar named Rivera, from So
zorro county, sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for embezzlement, because the man
was nearly dead with consumption. One
satisfactory thing about Governor Otero's
pardons is that when he issues one he
makes it public, and in the body of the
pardon he gives the reasons which In
duced him to issue it. This Is quite diff.
ferent from the course pursued by the
last administration. 1t will be safe to
say that while this course Is pursued
there will be no pardons issued because
the district attorney Of Santa Fe county
has received q fee to cur the pardon.
