GOVERNOR oTERo's OPINION.

Albuquerque Journal-Democrat.)
Governor Otero and Hon. ]. s. Clark,
who spent yesterday in the city, re-
turned to Las Vegas last night. The
governor came on private business, but
attended to some matters of public in
terest while in the city. He called upon
President Herrick, and with him dis
cussed the best means of making the
revenues from lands bestowed upon the
educational institutions of the territory
Immediately available. The saline lands
have not yet been selected, but some
thing may be done very soon with the
timber areas. The governor and the
commission are doing all in their power
to expedite matters, something for
which all friends of education in the
revenues to the rapidly expanding uni
versity are of the utmost Importance
just now. Governor Otero is highly
pleased with the enthusiasm that is be-
ing manifested throughout the territory
for the rough riders reunion. He be-
lieves hat the illumination that will
come to the nation through the immense
amount of advertising that the terri
tory will receive through newspapers,
magazines and the agency of outside
visitors will do much toward turning
the popular tide in favor of statehood.
the boon for which he has so earnestly
worked. The governor is firm in his be-
lief that New Mexico will be admitted
at the next session of congress. And no
n is in a better position to give a re-
liable opinion on the subject.

Ruffianism is not a matter of state or

rage more ~unprovoked or indefensible
than the act of the rowdies of Levant,

cred the Rev. Mr.. Higgins, the leader
of an eccentric but harmless religious
sect known as the Holy Ghosters." 1t
transpires that the victim came very
to being burned to death. All this
is SOLDERING to that Ph%arisaical spirit
among us which causes some of our
people to thank heaven that they are
not as others are, and to hold the whole
south or the whole west responsible for
the occasional lawlessness of that de-
graded element that is found in every
committeeman, south, east or west.

The TROPICAL AMERICAN.
(kansas City Starr
1t is a settled fact that the American
is to figure in the tropics. 1t is no use
to argue the why's and wherefores, or
| the right and wrong of it, the American
is to have and hold in the Orient as the
Englishman has done for this 200 years
and more. 1t is time the new man in
the hot zon of the earth should begin
to acquire necessary information and
make preparations. Good judges and
experts say that the first thing the
American will have to learn when he
lines up on the equator is that he can
not drink the spurious beverages of his
native land.
The first result of the occupation of
any country by Americans is a rush of
saloon-keepers proclaiming American
drinks. But in the Philippines, for in
stance, the consumption of these by ma
tives of the United States is said to be
suicide. The saloon man must sell these
to the heather in their blindness" He
can not be a party to the destruction Of
his countrymen. Neither are the bibu-
lous products of the natives i%nnocuous.

NEGROES NORTH AND SOUTH.
Galveston News.)
1t is sale that "the negroes hold about
the same position in the south as re-
CARDS mental, moral and industrial con-
ditions as they do in the north" This
is hardly correct. The negroes who go
north are sprightlier and more intelli-
gent than the general run of blacks in
the south. Most southerners visiting
the north are impressed by the fact that
very few, if any, of the lowest class of
negroes are found there. They find it
easier to hang around the southern
kitchen, in which there is a colored
cook, thai they find it to get a living for
themselves in the state of New York.
They need less clothing in the south.
Where the ace is numerous even a
black sheep of the lowest breed has lit
tie trouble in picking up all the food
and clothing he requires. This he can
not do in the north or east. The result
is that the negro tramp, who Is always
indolent to tramp farther than from
one kitchen to another, remains in the
south. The most ignorant, worthless
and vicious of the race never think of
quitting the south.

Goldilocks and / were walking back
Of Moss valley and happened to step,
together, upon the Enchanted Flying
Phantom Field. In moment we were
flying through the air, and in less time
than you can count six plainly we were
once more in Fairyland, under Tam
alpais mountain.
And then what do you think we
saw?
Santa Claus picking plum buildings
from trees! Real plum buildings from
real trees!
This was in the plum pudding or
chard which the fairies planted, long
ago, for Santa Claus. He was whist
ling and chuckling and laughing, "Ho!
no! no" and sometimes slyly winking
one eye as he viewed the many grow
ing heaps of buildings as he laid them
under the trees, and thought what jol-
lily there would be Christmas day
when they were eaten-and what tum-
myaches afterwards!
Goldilocks thought the plum pud-
ding orchard wonderful. It was wa
tered by sparkling rills and was sur
rounded by hedges upon which candies
and nuts and oranges were growing.
These hedges were made all of Christ
mas trees, the burning little candles
on which furnish Santa Claus light at
night to work by. He will have only
the candles to work by because they
seem to bring him nearer to his mill

May was right. One Indian summer
day caterpillar. dressed In brown

At last he came to the little pine tree

place to spend the winter!"
So he made himself a little house.
He made 1t very tight and close, Of
fine. soft thread, and fastened up the
door. He did not leave himself even
a window to look out. If there had
been one, how it would have surprised
him to see that he and his house and
the pine tree were riding in sleigh
with pap and May and Archie!
He would have been still more sur
rrised If he had seen the tree standing
in the parlor, covered with toys and
trinkets and little candles.
1T must be spring at last" he
thought, for it was very warm in the
parlor.
So he poked hole in the wall Of
his house and out he came. But what
do you think? He was not caterpil-
lar at all!

May.
He flew to the tip-top Dough: and
the children said there was nothing

"He must have come down the chin

she never guessed that he came out
of the caterpillar's house.
