If statehood is secured for New Mexico before the next presidential election, it will be as sure state for Bryan as any in the Union, in case he should be nominated by the Demo- crats.-Silyer City Enterprise. The same here, neighbor; but you need not entertain any fears in that direc- tion; those who are most active in urging statehood in New Mexico and Arizona are covertly doing all in the ir power to perpetuate the existing state of affairs. Statehood would be the death knell of those now in power; they are too we'll known at home to entertain any hope of political pre- ferment

There is no such unanimity of senti- ment in New Mexico in regard to state hood as the politicians would have 1t appear. The Silver City Enterprise, one of the leading papers of that tel ritory, says: 1t is hoped that all our friends who are in Washington adyo- eating statehood for New Mexico will explain what great advantage it will be to the territory to have the $50,0o0, now paid yearly toward the support of our government, taken away and our judiciary and other U. s. offices turned over to the tender mercies of the poli- ticians, who have for years and are still rolling up deficiency in the ter rit0rial treasury of about S60,000 an- nually. How will the taxpayers be beDetitted by such an increased bur denYn

the power. to send him home. He has, therefore, put heavy anchor 10 the windward by declaring that he is favorable to the imperialist policy in the East, to the doctrine of protection in the tariff, to the granting of subsi- dies to shipping, and, though Montana is one of the strongest of the free silver states, he declares that he is convinced that free silver is a mistake. This is about as big a bid for republi- can votes as could we'll be made, and 1t must be a very strong case of bribery that will induce republicans to de- prive Senator Clark of his seat. The democrats appear to have been badly
 buncoed when they elected him to it. "

The policy that was denied by the republican party in that campaign stands now confessed. Millions of you who voted the republi- can ticket in 1896 would not have done 80 had you believed your party des- tined so soon to be the agent of the forces that now dominate it. Millions of you were bimetalliSts in 1896 and remain so today. Now that the prom ises made in that year are clearly seen to have been insincere; now that, as a consequence of the deception pTacticed upon your honest confidence, your country is about to be handed over to the ownership and control of the great speculative banks and their associated trusts and combinations, may we not appeal to you to come to the rescue of the liberties of the people and their imperilled institutions. In the spring of 1897 we took the steps leading to the organization of the silver Republi- can party. Against the betrayers of the republicanism of Abraham Lin coin that party resolved to wage un- ending war. Today the necessity for its work is more evident than eyer Come with us and help us. We believe that the highest devotion to the re- publicanism that you once venerated
 demands that you oppose to the utter
 most the present tendencies of the
 party which still wears the name, but has forgotten uthe principles of its

The following timely article is taken from the columns of the Mining and Scientific Press. and should be read and rellShed by the public at large:
 Eastern business journals say mining
 is the all-abs0rbing investment, ln- dustrial stocks, state and county bonds, or county warrants are not Su eagerly sought for investment pur.
 poses as formerly, and the eastern in
 veStor is learning thlt there ii profit
 in the mining business when rightly
 cOnpucted. Legitimate mining it.
 this western half of America should
 receive impetus in 1900 from this vol tune of invest nent-seeking money. and fraudulent mining schemes should everywhere be exposed and diScour. aged on the same principal that count erieiJ coinage or currency is con demned as being inimical to the com
 mon good. There will be considerable squeezing of watered stock in 1900
 and consequent disappointment and dIstrust at the n0n-appearance ol promised dividends from some of the. big combines organized in 1899. Therc will be tendency to invest in min ing, and of course a corresponding tendency an the part of some to uE- load undesirable mining property Confidence is plant of slow growth. It has taken long time to educate the Eastern investor to know that mining is not gamble; that it is a business, to be run on business basis, and with the same industry, intelli- gence and integrity necessary for sut- cess in any business; and rightly directed, the present tendency to more cautious investment in mining should receive the right kind of encourage ment. The way to give the investor that kind of encouragement is to ac- cord him square treatment through out, and along that old-fashioned line l eS the best success best because sur est and most mutually satisfactory and in the long run most profitable.

1t is far better to be oyer-sanguine than to be not sanguine enough. No country was ever made prosperous by professional critics, doubters and halt CTS. The man who smiles and says, "ThiS is the best mining country on earth,' is the man we like to talk to, and he is also the man who will be found in the front rank of success when the pay streak widens and the bullion pours from the ore. Success to him for he deserves it. Prescott Courier.

The small cattle growers are awake ming to the iniquity of the proposed enactment to lease the unsold public lands for grazing purposes. Says the Lordsburg Liberal; "The Carlsbad Argus has commenced fight against a proposed act of congress. ltis pro- posed to have congress pass an act providing for the leasing of all the public lands, that are not taken up, for grazing purposes. The Argus fig ures that if this is done few big cattle and sheep companies will ac- auire all the desirable public land and will turn out all the little fellows in the business. The Argus is prob ably right. The big companies will do this if they can. The Argus pro tests strongly against this proposed act, and in its protests is backed ur by most of the prominent papers ol the territories" Protests against tho proposed enactment should be pre- pared all over the cattle growint region and sent on to congress just a quickly as possible.

The following criticism of Senator Clark, of Montana, is taken from the Silver City (N. M.) Enterprise, an able exponent of Republican doctrine in New Mexico. But it will be seen that the editor realizes the straits to which his party will resort when there is a possible show of strengthing party lines. The Enterprise says: Senator Clark, who has been elected a United States senator from Montana, as a democrat, apparently fully realizes that his seat in that body is contested, and that the republicans, with their big majority in it's membership, have
