We say blinded, because it has taken

up to last Monday to rise mp and

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

From this On the first of May ough.
to be observed and remembered as
Carson day. 1t marks a new era for
the City OF Carson and will in future
recall the time when the people went
to the ballot box and demonstrated
that they could run their own affairs
Think what Carson would have been
today had the independence Of last
Monday been manifested by the peo.
pie years ago in the days when the
corporations that have left this citv
almost a sucked orange, were first
fastening their grip on the willing
throat Of Ormsby county. Without
word Of protest from anybody the
people voted bonds to assist in the
building Of the V & TR R. 1t was
purely a private enterprise. Certain
people who were a little sharper than
their neighbors wanted to start hem
selves in the railroad business and
passed the hat about among the west
ern counties of Nevada. They in
duced the people OF 0rmsby to drop a
quarter OF a million in the hat. They
did not give this money as a loan but
as a gift outright in. the shape OF
bends on which they had to paw in
terest until a few years ago. Inagin
a tramp calling at your door saving
he was broke and wanted ten d ollars.
Then imagin yourself saying to the
tramp:
alright my dear man, I hav'nt
the money IN the house, but know
where lean borrow it at one'per cent a
month and ifyou will wait a few min
utes l will go down town and get it.
Would you like to saw a little wood
while l am gone"
Don believe l care to saw anv
wood today, I'm not saving much
WOO now, you Just hustle around
and dig up that ten dollars and I will
sit here in the sun and admire the
flowers until you get back and don
be toe long about it either"
'Ah. l beg pardon for abiding to
the wood, only mentioned it casually
in q fit Of abstraction"
Of course such a dialogue as the
above is purely imaginary but it
represents Just what the people of
did to the financial tIanps
came along here years ago ard
induced the people of Ormsbv t. 49,
vance them money to go into Il ori-
Vate enterprise. The people had to
borrow money and pay interest on it.
The railroad people took it as a
gift and declined to saw anv
wood as an offset for the gift.
Now the APPEAL. does not blame
railroad people for their sh1ewd
bargain but it does blame the people
Ormsby county for being wheedled
into giving mp this money without
arranging for its repayment with
interest.
Their folly has cost them over
hundred thousand dollars and
hey have been years paying the prin-
2iple and interest on these bonds.
Think, lfyou can, where Ormsby
county would be today with the three
nundred thousand dollars in the treas

The Difference in Losses in War.

There has been general remark in
military circles of the insignificant los
SEES of the American forces in the Span
ish and Philippine wars as compared
with the losses on both sides during the
war OF the rebellion, In the great fights
that marked that prolonged struggle,
the losses would run up to over 10000
men, wiping out whole %brigades, The
destruction of life in such lights as
Cold Harbor, Shiloh, Pittsburg Landing,
Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Antietam
and before Fredericksburg. was some
thing APPALLING. 1t carried the mind
back to the great battles between Rome
and Carthage, especially the Cartha-
Qinisn victory at Cannae where 10000
Of tho flower Of the Roman army were
left dead on the field. Ambition of lives
we're lost on both sides during the
American civil war, and the south was
literally drenched In blood. And yet,
there was enough vitality left in the

A Meritorious Measure.

One of the most meritorious bills be-
fore the present Legislature, is the one
known as council bill No. ~, which was
introduced by Hon. James $. Duncan. |
and is intended to protect the interests
of the people OF the territory who are
e%ndeavoring to accumulate money
through the agency of building and
loan associations. The bill places safe
guards around the stockholders in such
associations. which are badly needed,
and will result in preventing fraud and
dishonest dealings. In addition to these
safeguards, the measure provides that
twice a year building and loan associa-
tions doing business in New Mexico
shall file with the clerk and recorder of
the county in which the principal bust
ness of such organizations is conducted,
a statement under oath. of the amount
of authorized capital and the par value
| of each share of stock, the number OF
shares sold during the preceding six
months, the number of shares can
celled and withdrawn during that time.
| the number of shares in force at the
end of the preceding six months, Il de-
tailed statement of receipts and dis
bursements, including a detailed state
ment of assets and liabilities.
From the greater number of the pro-
visions of the bills, associations organ
lied under the laws of the territory and
doing business in only one county in
New Mexico, are exempt, thus protect
ing home organizations from the en-
croachments OF foreign corporations, tt
the detriment of the development o
home enterprises. The foreign com
panies now doing business in New Mex
leo have virtually a monopoly on TIL
business carried on by building and loal
associations, while the stakeholder
actually have no protection save tina
given by the personal honesty OF tn

Duncan bill law, the restrictions place
upon foreign companies will compelth er
' to either withdraw or pay more regard t
the rights of stockholders. The liberia
provisions made for home association
will increase the number in the terri
4 tory and add to the wealth of the pee
| pie in general.
Viewed from whatever standpoin
that may be taken, the Duncan bi
should be passed by the Legislature
G the earliest possible moment. 1t is
g good bill, drawn with great care, an
will promote the good of the territor
in that it will keep large amounts {
money at home for local investment
d and will give an incentive to the accl

wage earners who are contributing
the prosperity of New Mexico.

The senate has adjourned without
taking action on the nominations of Rear
Admirals Sampson and Schley to be vice
admirals. This is due to the sensational
developments in Admiral Sch!ey's pub
lished statement. which shows him to
have been the victim of Simpsons
overweening ambition. Ever since
SIMPSONS report of the destruction of
Cervera's fleet, in which Schley was en-
tirely ignored, there has been a general
suspicion that there was much remain
ing to be told of SIMPSONS peculiar code
of ethics in the Spanish war, and it was
brought out in the senate that Schley
was being made a scape-goat for Samp-
sons shortcomings. AS the friends of the
two admirals could not agree within
the short time left for consideration of
business, the nominations fell by the
wayside for the incoming senate to con-
slider. The matter should be settled, and
Justice done at the earliest possible
moment.

Despite the yelps of an envious sheet
or two, and the lies of a few two by
four would-be statesmen, the 33d legis-
lative assembly is keeping up an excel
lent record and passing wholesome.
timely and needed legislation. No scan
dals attach to the records OF the
members of the present assembly,
and no charges of corruption have
been made in connection with any
measure which has been introduced, eX-
cept by a few evil minded and jealous
liars who are not for the truth, but
wonld ruin anyone's reputation for self
interest, to appease every hatred and
venom, or for political reasons. This is a
decided contrast with the record of the
Populistic legislative assembly in Colo
RADIO, where it is alleged that $4,000 are
being used in the creation of Teller
county: or with Utah, where charges of
corruption are thick and numerous in
that Democratic legislature, and so on
AID so forth. New Mexico is doing all
right, so is its 33d Legislative assembly,
and no mistake about it.

Congress has adjourned leaving the
business of the country in anything but
Il satisfactory shape and a special session
of the seth congress may be expected
before many weeks. If an extra
session is convened by president Nc
kinley, the blame should be placed
where it belongs, on the shoulders
of the Democratic obstructionists in
the 55th congress. The condition of
the country, in relation to the new pos
sessions which have been acquired as a
result of the wal with Spain, have been
such that all party feeling should have
been laid aside for the good of the
country, but a few old grannies in the
senate have been successful in prevent
ing needed legislation in the past SEES
sion, and the president can hardly avoid
converting the seth congress within a
few weeks.

The carping pessimists who declare
that nothing good can come from the
great territory of New Mexico are re-
spectfully invited to watch the develop
ments of the territory during the year
1899. Mines of wonderful wealth will
be the wonder of the world, railroads
will be built. irrigation enterprises will
be put on foot and every industry known
to the southwest will assume proportions
heretofore unknown. The New MeXi.
can is in a position to confidently pre-
diet a prosperity for the territory during
the present year which will eclipse an!
one decade of the past.

A Pleasant Bit Of Fiction.

The cheering intelligence reaches this
city from El Paso that General Mills, of
the International Boundary commission,
still considers the Rio Grande river navi-
gable at and above Ell Paso, and there
fore subject to federal control. 70 be
sure, no vessels have entered or cleared
at that port within the memory of man,
historic or prehistoric, and for a fair
share of each season the river bed be-
tween Ell Paso and JuareZ is as barren
of moisture as Il telephone pole is OF
foliage; but then, that cuts no figure
not with General Mills, Oh with the en-
terprising gentlemen back of him / IN the
international dam scheme, whose jeans
would be enriched by condemnation, at
a fat figure, of present valueless lands
brought under the reservoirs flood line
should federal aid build that dam.
Now, the proof that the Rio Grande
river is a navigable stream at or above
Ell Paso may be purely theoretical, a
legal fiction, an ingenious and artful
composition of word painting, something
within the realms of poetic fancy. But
that cuts no appreciable quantity OF ice
either. General Mills is evidently over
appreciatlve of that maxim in equity
Jurisprudence that holds, "Whatever
ought to be, is; and what ought to have
been done, has in fact been done" The
Rio Grande ought to be navigable above
Ell Paso; therefore, it is navigable; and
any man who has the temerity to deny
the PROFESSIONALLY lead him quietly
behind a cowshed and hit him In the
head with an axe.
The late General Benjamin F. Butler
once illustrated General Mills position
in a taking way. 1t was in a contro-
versy relative to ones imaginative pow
ers in %appeasing hanger; the occasion
being the ludicruous uncertainty OF the
almoner of Boston as to how he should
feed the city poor in a certain financla
pinch. General Butler, with a suspicious
culver of that superintendent eyelid Of
his. suggested that the almoner hire a
hall and paint upon the walls thereo
seductive looking beefsteaks, broilet
chops, juicy roast turkey, the succulen1
vegetable and, in fact, a whole menu o
the most inviting dishes. Then lead thu
city poor within, tell them to imagine
the depicted edibles to be the solid, &c
nuine article, and invite them TO par
take of the generous repast until filled
to regletion.
General Mills might have a series o
views painted of ocean lines and foreign
ships of war entering and leaving TIN
port of FL Paso, busy wharves, Hudson
river ferry boats plying between Ell Pass
and JuareZ, etc, and then send the SAINT
to Washington for official consumption
1t might give the United States Supreme
court a clearer view of the situation. b.
instrumental in reversing the decisions
of the New Mexico courts, which take
different view as to the navigability o
the Rio Grande from General Mills ant
friends and In some hocns pocus way
induce congress to extend that mucE
desired aid in construction of the In
ternational dam.
