both the percentage of sugar and yield

cultivation and irrigation used the past
seasons, the growers can be of mutual
benefit; the quality of soil needed to OBJ
tain the highest results can be deter
mined without further trials; the proper

beets to the greatest state of perfection
ear be arrived at by an interchange of
knowledge: the best method of cultiva-
ton can be arrived at in the same way;
as for the sunshine. nature will take
care of that.
Some of the last years growers may
consider the time and labor spent upon
the beets as lost, for the reason that no
definite action has yet been taken look
ing to the erection of a factory in Santa
Fe, to convert the crop into sugar, but
such is not the case, and there is moth
ing in the way to discourage the farm

ments have borne fruit as later develop
ments will prove. The large percentage
of sugar in the beets grown in and
around Santa Fe has aroused an interest
in the matter. If that percentage can
be increased during the coming year,
and assurances given that enough beets
will be raised to make the building of Il
factory profitable, the factory will come.
The people of the United States must
have sugar, and the homegrown article
finds even "a more ready sale than the
imported. These facts are well. known
to capitalists. Once satisfied that Santa
Fe is the proper place to locate a fac
tory, capitalists will be ready enough to
invest. Only keep up the experiments
and the agitation, and the desired end
will be accomplished.

New Mexico Insurance Law.

Congressman Sperry. of Connecticut
the state of wooden nutmegs and insur-
ance companies-has introduced a bill
to nullify a recent act of the New Mex
leo legislature requiring insurance COM
panies to keep Il deposit in that terri
tory: The law is a proper one, and we
believe is on the statute books of a num-
Der of states. 1t seems not satisfactory
to these Connecticut insurance people,
and hence the attempt to have it set
aside by congress.
While it is acknowledged that con
gress has power to set aside the acts of
a territorial legislature, it is very seldom
invoked. Occasionally some bill of an
unjust or odious nature is passed. which
congress has been called upon to set
aside. But any legislation of a proper
OF conservative character, in line with
legislation in the states, has seldom or
never been disturbed. Before Congress
man Sperry's bill is passed there should
be a very thorough investigation of the
act. If the only objection to it is the
dislike of the insurance companies.
then New Mexico should be allowed to
legislate on it's own local aAfairs. If the
insurance companies do not like New
Mexico laws let them withdraw from the
territory. This attempt to have con-
gress fix the statutes to suit the COM
panies is a matter which cannot be APP
proved.
If any good reason existed why this
New Mexico law should be modified or
abolished, Delegate FERGUSON would
know it, and would be the proper person
to introduce Il bill for either of these
purposes. As the bill has come from a
Connecticut ma1tit can be presumed to
emanatc from the insurance companies,
and as such is to be regarded with sus-
picion.-Denver News.

Continue the Experiments.

During the spring and summer of 1897
numerous experiments were made in the
Santa Fe and Espanola valleys with
sugar beets. Those experiments, as
shown by the analyses made from sam
pies sent to the Agricultural college,
were eminently satisfactory. The
ad~aptability of the soil and climate of
the localities named was demonstrated
by the high percentage of sugar con-
tanned in the beets, and the ACCESSIBILITY
of the farmers of those valleys engaging
in beet culture was settled beyond a
doubt, but the matter should not be al
lowed to drop with these attachments.
Seed time is again approaching, and
the experimenters of last year should
continue the work. The experience
gained will prove of i%ncalculable benefit
in growing the second crop, and the
coming year ought to see an Increase IN

Restrict immigration.

The immigration restriction bill now
before congress places an educational
test upon all immigrants arriving at the
ports of this country, and is favored by
the immigration associations of all states
having such organizations. The test
will have the effect of excluding a large
percentage of the people seeking homes
in the United States, and still it is not
rigid enough. Some measures should
be devised which would only admit
those persons who are fitted by intel
ligence, education and financial means
to become useful citizens Immediately
upon their arrival in the new world.
The United States is and has been Suf-
| fering for years from the effects of al
indiscriminate landing of hordes of for
eigners that are not fit for Self-govern-
ment, unable to earn their own living,
and tainting the entire population with
vice and immortality. 1t is high time
that this should cease.
The bill now under consideration is u
step in the right direction, meets with
the approval of every intelligent person
in the land, and yet is encountering OPP
position in congress. That opposition
comes from a source which is entitled
to no consideration whatever. The
foreign steamship companies are fear
full that the passage of the act will in
jure their transportation business, and
are using every influence within their
command to defeat the measure. The
agents of these foreign corporations are
even threatening members of congress
with defeat for reelection if they dare
vote to restrict immigration by imposing
an educational test.
The principal objection urged by these
companies is that the west will be de-
| prived of Il much needed population.
The a~bsurdity of this position is patent.
The rapidly growing population of the
country, without any additions from
foreign lands, will soon fill every avail
able acre of land in the west, and more
over statistics show that but a very
small number of immigrants come west.
They stop in the large eastern cities,
and by their competition in the labor
market make the problem of living
more difficult of solution by the people
already there.
The reports of the department of
labor bear this statement out by show
ing that the immigration from south
eastern Europe, which has increased
so much in recent years, does not 60
west, but contributes largely to the
slums of the large cities on. the Atlantic
seaboard, and furnishes the largest
proportion to the criminal and DEEPEN
dent classes therein.
In other words, the claim that the
educational test bill will deprive the
west of agricultural immigration, wheth-
er illiterate or not, is false. 1t is OBJ
~viously urged to excite opposition to
the immigration bill in those sections
which do not feel the burden upon the
penal and charitable institutions of the
east, caused by the recent inferior
immigration out of which the foreign
steamship companies make their profit
at the cost of imposing a tremendous
burden upon the American people.
Congress will only do its duty by the
country in passing the restriction bill at
the earliest possible moment.

THE insurance companies, doing bust
ness in this territory, must hustle if they
would comply with the law enacted at
tho last session of the territorial legis-
lative assembly, providing that every in
surance company doing business in New
Mexico shall deposit security to the
amount of So 900 with the territorial
treasurer, either in bonds of the territory
or counties or real estate security or
mortgage thereon. Treasurer Eldodt
will do well to exact a rigid compliance
with the law in every particular. 1t is

that the laws of New Mexico are made

not rippled-and is cut in four large seal
lops around the edge, which is bordered
with pink and white feather trimming,
full and fluffy, the collar being made to
match. The body of the pelerine, which
just covers the shoulders, is embroidered
with silver sequins and crystal beads in a
large and striking pattern.
Sleeves are growing steadily smaller.
While a certain amount Of fullness is still
seen at the top, it is more and more of the
nature of separate trimming rather than Il
part of tho sleeve itself. Rut1les, small
puffs and various kinds of sleeve caps are
the representative arrangement of fullness
for the sleeve. Probably by spring these
will be dispensed with altogether.
A picture is given of IN evening gown
for a young girl. 1t is of accordion plated
pink mousseline do sole over pink satin.
The plated skirt is plain. The bodice,
which is cut square at the neck, has a yoke
of embroidered guipure, the decolletage
being edged by aruffle of pink mousseline.
The short sleeves consist of small puffs of
pink mousseline drawn under a band of
guipure. The soft belt is of jacqueminot
velvet. JUDO CHoLLET.
