Republican Year In New Mexico, Nevertheless.

1.-THE New MEXICAN does not believe
that it will be good politics to hold the
Republican convention either in Colfax
or in Grant county. And what is more
this paper makes no bones about saying
so."-Santa Fe New Mexican.
IF the editor of the New MEXICAN is
to control the location of the conven-
ton, neither Grant or Colfax counties
would presume to ask for the favor.
But The Republicans of New Mexico
desire to succeed next November and
the domination of bosses who use the
party organization to vent their petty
personal spite and gobble all the spoils,
will have to retire to be succeeded by a
spirit of fairness, decency and justice.
With this understanding the good peo-
Pile of Ration ask the privilege of enter
tanning the next Republican territorial
convention Ration Range.
Stuff and nonsense! That sort of
truck does0no one any good. The Re-
publicans of New Mexico can and will
succeed in the coming campaign; the
needful consists of good nominations,
energetic work, thorough organization
and loyalty to the ticket. The New
MEXICAN is of the opinion that these
conditions will prevail regardless Of the
kind of nonsense republished above,
and that this is Republican year in New

General Wood Proud Of Trough Riders"

The home coming of the New Mexico
squadron of the "Rough Riders" two
troops of which were mustered out at
Camp Wikoff today, will bring no shame
to the citizens OF the territory. From
the day the boys left Santa Fe for San
tiago de Cuba to the hour they landed at
Montauk Point, after that terrible cam
paign in a tropical country and in the
face of greatly superior strength or the
part of the enemy, not a member of the
squadron has been guilty OF a single dis
graceful act. The whole world is ring
ing with their praise and their bravery
under all circumstances of war has
changed the estimation placed upon
volunteer troops in every country. Not
only is encomiums showered upon them
by those who only saw them from a dis
or know Of them by what has
been printed concerning them, but their
commanding officers, the ines who de-
pended upon them in the time of battle,

New Mexico Fruit Exhibit.
Denver NeWs.)

hOtlVo AoWSJ
The great success of the second an.
nual exhibition of the New Mexico Hor.
ticultural Society at Santa Fe indicates
the growth of the fruit industry in that
territory. The News special describes
the display as a very fine one in all par
ticulars and as representing many Sec
tions of the territory. Within the past
few years there has been q very marked
increase in the orchard area, Us well as
in the acreage devoted to small fruits.
This year eastern markets have been
reached with all the standard fruits,
and the outlook now that is that fruit
will become an annual export product.
In soil and climate New Mexico is es-
pecially well adapted to horticulture and
especially for the growth of the more
tender varieties. Its seasons are from
four to eight weeks earlier than are the
seasons in Colorado, and hence 1t can
reach the markets of this state, as we'll
as of the east, that much sooner and
without at all coming in competition with
the growers of this state This fact is
n of large advantage to the New Max
leo orchardists, as it will always assure
top prices and a ready demand. ta
Not v 9 a farm is more indicative of
a permanent home than an orchard,
and the growth of the acreage devoted
to fruit is one of the best possible indi-
cations that New Mexico Is becoming a
territory Of homes and that horticulture
is a success as a permanent and pr0fta-
bic industry.

Political conventions in the western
states the past week have been numer-
Gus, and not altogether harmonious, as
the killing of one mar and the wound
ing of another testities. 1t is to be
noticed, however, that everywhere
fusion has been effected between the
Populists and other parties, the former
have taken particular care to demand all
the good offices, and were equally as
careful to see that they secured them.
The members of the Populist party
claim that the principles advocated by
them were ennobling, and intended to
save the country from utter ruin at the
hands of self-seeking politicians and
%goldbugs." That may all be
true enough, but principles appear to be
used for the purpose of catching suck
while the leaders of the party in
the different states catch the offices by
hoodwinking the voters.

Facts in the Oliver Lee Case.

Allan Kelly, of Los Angeles, formerly
of the Las Cruces-Independent Demo-
crat, writes the latter paper a letter
practically upholding Oliver Lee and
Gilliland, and says that there is a sys-
tematic effort to do up these two great
and good men. Anent this, the Ell
Paso Times has the following to say:
$40 the outside world it appears that
Lee himself has, by systematic effort"
created for himself the reputation of
an outlaw" The facts, as we under
stand them In ri Paso, and as they are
understood elsewhere outside of Las
| Cruces, are these: Judge Fountain and
his son were murdered by unknown
parties; Oliver Lee and others were
charged with the crime and were in
indicted by the grand jury; Oliver Lee
refused to 60 into court to answer to
the charge; he resisted the officers with
force and killed a deputy sheriff who
ordered him to surrender.
''These we say, are the facts as they
appear to the outside public, and the
only excuse that Lee has offered for his
conduct is that the officers who were
deputized to arrest him are not church
deacons, but are his enemies and ''have
it in" for him. 1t is not a COMMON thing
for officers to feel friendly toward yio-
lators of the law who defy arrest and
who from their hiding place carry on a
political campaign against the officers
of the law.
"But Mr.. Lee says that Garrett will
kill him if he Surrenders. If he fears the
sheriff will murder him, then Lee should
surrender to friends in Las Cruces who
a accompany him to jail to see that he
commits no acts that would justify the
sheriff in taking his life. There could
be no danger of Lee being murdered in
jail while his friends were making his
bond.
"There may be inside facts %justifying
Lees course, but, if there are, his friends
have guarded them as close secrets.
Certainly, though, no xcuse can be
offered for the murder of Deputy Sheriff
Kearney. Mr.. Lee is a man Of influence,
education and property, and is setting a
very bad example for any assassin who
might take a notion to murder Lee for
robbery and then defy the officers of the
law

The people of this territory do not
seem to appreciate the almost idolatrous
worship which is being extended to u
New Mexico Rough Riders" in the
east. The conduct of New Mexico's
contingent to this famous regiment has
done more for the people than any
other agency in years. New Mexico
owes a great duty to the heroes, officers
and men, who have fought this coun-
try's battles and wasted their health
and prospects that New Mexico should
have a good name among the people of
the United States. All hail to the New
Mexico Rough Rider" His conduct
in the face of the foe and in the midst
of disease will be told to wondering
children when he and his sons children
have been summoned to their fathers.
This regiment and every member will
take a place in history occupied by few.
The history of New Mexico's battalion
will be one of the brightest pages in the
chronicle of our existence.

Judging from the comments on the
killing of Harris at the Silver Republican
convention at Colorado Springs on We'd
nesday, which are appearing in the
Colorado papers, the game season in
political circles in that state has just
opened, and before the election is over
there will be more murders committed
in the cause of free silver. A political
campaign seems to be the favored time
for getting rid of objectionable oppo-
nents and political friends in the Cen
tennial state. but it is a sneaking way
to worm out of the responsibility which
attaches to murder by laying it onto
silver. The white metal has troubles
enough of its " already without adding
to the load.

MEXICAN has already published a letter
written to Governor Otero by Colonel
Roosevelt, and below is one written by
General Wood, now stationed at San
tiago. The letter needs no comment.
1t says:
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 4, 1s9s.-My
Dear Governor Otero: | have just seen
the magnificent flag you sent to the New
Mexico squadron of my former regiment.
1t is certainly very fine and they are all
very proud Of it.
You will, | trust, pardon my failure
to answer the letter you sent me some
time ago, as it came just as we were
starting from Tampa. The regiment
has done splendidly. No men could
have done better and l am more than
proud of their record and reputation.
As for the New Mexico squadron, l can
say that among the members are found
many of the very best men of the regi-
ment. | was very sorry to be forced to
leave Major Hersey in Tampa. He was
most anxious to go and bitterly disap-
pointed at being left, but l desired his
SCI NlCGS III ScbUiHS UuC DuidIiCc VI uuC
regiment in order to be brought over.
At that time we expected them to follow
in a few days. Major Hersey has gotten
the troops left behind into excellent
shape, and both he and Major Dunn,
the junior major, have done a great deal
of hard work.
Captain Luna's services have been of
a high order, and his gallantry in action
conspicuous. Although l am no longer
colonel of the regiment l have the deep
est interest in it and hope we can have
it taken into the regular service in case
of an increase in the army. With kind
est regards, yours very truly,
"LEONARD WOOD"
"P. S.-Maior Hersey has just come
over and reported for duty, being unable
to stand any longer delay in Tampa. His
work there was of an high order, and he
has completed in a very thorough way
the equipment of the regiment. 1 feel very
sorry at his disappointment at his not
over before. Lean only say that
he made every effort to get intot the cam
paign, but was not allowed to come un-
til a day or two ago. However, his work
at Tampa has been very valuable"

The members of the Cuban Revolu-
tion party in New York appear to have
considerable sense, despite all the mean
things which have been said against
them. The organization of a political
party by them, which will follow the
desires of the United States in matters
pertaining to the island of Cuba, will go
u long way toward securing self govern
ment at an early day. The sooner that
the Cubans realize that this country will
stand no foolishness in the government
of their country the soone will all dit
ferences concerning the future of the
island be settled.

The county of Santa Fe, under Re.
publican county officials since January
l, 1897, has paid every expense incurred
IN the running of county machinery in
full. The county commissioners have
adhered strictly to the law in the finan-
cial conduct of county affairs and the
collector has turned wei all funds COL
lected to a treasurer who has disbursed
them a. the county commissioners d.
rected. This is a most refreshing state
of affairs when compared with the con-
dition Of San Miguel and other counties
of the territory. The citizens, voters,
tax payers and property owners of this
county will do mighty well by them
selves by voting at the coming election
the Republican ticket which win be
composed Of first class, competent and
respectable citizens.

If, as the Las Vegas Optic claims, the
county commissioners of San Miguel
county have been guilty of 10 unlawful
acts in the management of the affairs of
the county, that paper is wasting lots of
valuable space in attempting to defend
innocent officials by abusing the editor
of the New MEXICAN. What would be
more to the point and more satisfactory
to the taxpayers of San Miguel would be
a denial of the records in the county
clerks Office and proof in substantiation
of the denial shown.

The English claim that in the taking
of Khartoum, the defeat of the Dervish-
es and the destruction of the power of
of the Madhi in the upper Nile country,
the death of General Gordon has been
avenged. That may all be, but it does
not bring that gallant officer to life nor
does it wipe out the disgrace to Great
Britain his murder brought. Had the
expedition up the Nile, which hast just
closed so successfully, been undertaken
IA years ago, General Gordon's death
would not have required avenging.

The independents Democrat at Las
Cruces seconds Oliver Lees motion and
wants a new sheriff in Dona Ana coun-
ty. The Independents Democrat is a
disappointment. Since Its last change
Of hands it was thought to stand for law
and order, but the present editor seems
to be as truculent to murderers as was
his predecessor. Notwithstanding the
efforts of the Independent Democrat
and Oliver Lee the officers of the coun-
ty are reliable men, and 1t is probable
that the same kind of men will continue
to hold the offices.
