Hurry Up the Work.

The irrigation company constructing
a canal above Albuquerque and the
company planning to irrigate lands at
Socorro should hurry up their work, for
there is certainly a well-organized effort
on foot to again try to work a treaty
though the senate for the construction
of the so-called international dam at Ell
Paso. The treaty as prepared, which
has 50 far failed to secure committee
support in the senate, provides in I'M
mistakable language that the United
States will not permit any more water
to be appropriated-from the Rio Grande
or its tributaries. This promise will, Of
course. be insisted upon by Mexico, es-
pecially as the government of that
country, according to some of it's Off
GERS and as promoters of the scheme in
Ell Paso assert, in order to add to the
popularity of the proposition. will do
nate one-third of the estimated cost of
the Ell Paso enterprise.

Japan And Russia.

Russia and Japan are likely to have
a mix-up because the big country wants
to take too many privileges in Corea,
which the two nations long ago agreed
to consider independent and as neutral
territory. Russia has leased some CO.
rea ports and Is seeking to gain trade
and influence in court circles, while ia
pan has always had considerable to say
in Corean affairs, and now seeks to
check the czar from extending his hold
ings and power. Japan is spunky. Since
she whipped China and was compelled
to give up the most of the advantages
gained to Russia, she has been getting
ready to play wen whenever the oppor-
tunity should offer. 1t is even said that
Japan and China have entered into an
alliance against Russia, which would
account for the return to China of the
ships captured by Japan. Alone these
countries cannot reasonably hope to
withstand Russia, which is powerful
and rich, but England has some inter-
ests which may lead her to ally herself
with the Asiatics in return for advan-
tages sought by Russia.

BRYAN AND CROKER DELUSlONS,
washington Times.)
If the astonishing density of certain
political leaders, as to the lesson taught
by the November elections, is incompre-
hensible by sane and intelligent Amer
leans, they should remember that a GER
ain variety of statesman measures the
justice of a cause entirely by the de-
gree of his blindness-iustice being to
tally blind-and its political expediency
by his oWn desires or prejudices, OF
both. 1t is in this way alone that one
can reasonably account for the eoEfi-
dence in the future of anti-imperialism
as a political issue, which is reporte |
from the poles of Nebraska and New
York. In the one wide and long-horned
waste the native ruminantS seem salts

ally turned back the hour hand on the
clock of American history and progress
until it points the finger of scorn at

the eastern shore of the Mississippi.
The fact hat last Tuesday the country

The West has the Money.

The banks of New York are finding
out that there are others. Many of the
New York institutions are increasing
the rate of interest on deposits to that
paid by trust companies. Some of the
latter have adopted the practice Of
sending AGENTS over the country to So
1icit deposits from country banks and
capitalists. The fact of the matter is
that the bulk of the capital is not in
New York, and business there has long
been conducted to a great extent OF
money from the interior, but as this

There has never been a period when
the courts of New Mexico disposed of
SO much business and gave SC much
satisfaction to the people as they do at
present. This is due partly to the fact
thai the judges are Industrious and
funds available for holding court, owing
to the present revenue law, partly to the
greater prosperity of the people, ena-
bling taxes to be paid more promptly,
and largely to the better jury law, as
well as a fuller realization of the duties
of citizenship by the majority of the
people of the territory.

Statehood Needed.

New Mexico has grown out of the con
ditions hat made it necessary to keep
the territory in leading strings. The
people have earned the right to have d
state government.
The original population has been null
tlplied several times, the leading indus
tries of the country are well represent
ed, railways have had their regenerat-
ing effects, education is becoming gen.
eral, capital in large amounts owned by
eastern people is invested here, and is
entitled to the same sort of protection
and liberal laws that are enacted in
states. The citizens whose interests
have brought them hither have the
right to enjoy all the privileges they had
in the states from which they came. But
so long as the government does not see
fit to 0. X. the claims of New Mexico to
statehood so long will many intelligent
people think that a state of affairs like
that prevailing in Cuba, Porto Rico,
Hawaii and the Philippines exists in
this territory, or at least that improve
ment and growth have been so slight as
not to deserve national recognition.
There are hundreds of able statesmen,
politicians and business men in the east
who know that New Mexico is as well
when handicapped by the conditions
imposed upon the territory. Such men
as Governor Roosevelt have given their
willing promise to go to Washington to
urge Upon congress the wisdom of max
ing a state of New Mexico. But the de-
mand must originate with the people of
the territory. They must take such pub
lie action as will compel attention to ar
guments in favor of statehood.
There is less opposition in the east to-
day than ever before to statehood being
granted. There is a broader feeling that
all Americans are alike in essential par
ticulars. There is no longer much fear
that the silver fallacy would be
strengthened in CONGRESS- by the election
of senators from the territory, because
the people have put that aside and are
prospecting more in the development of
other resources than they We're when
silver had double the value it has to-
day.
The time is ripe for the citizens of
New Mexico to get together regardless
of politics, pool their future prospects in
this respect, with a united voice ask the
attention of congress to a matter of
equity and demand a chance to become
even in national affairs of the country
and to promise those who would come
to invest their energy and capital in
developing the ready of the
territory, that they will still be Ameri-
ans among Americans in the fullest
sense of the word.
When congress admits New Mexico,
as could be done now without a charge
that the action was taken only to in
crease the political strength of any par
ty. all the people of the United States
will cease to regard the territory as a
colony and will consider it as a desirable
place for residence and business. Only
the minority know that it is already
such.

ARMY AND
PHILADELPHIA RecOrd.)

General Wheeler's animation of a
purpose to take his seat in congress has
revived the discussion whether an army
officer can at the same time act as a
representative. In the fifty-ffth con-
gress. as will be remembered, four
members of the house, including the
gallant Alabaman, claimed this double
privilege. The committee on privileges
and elections reported against the pre-
tension; but the question was not
brought to a decision by the house. In
the meantime Speaker Reed, who did
not regard these army officers as men,
bers, would not recognize General
Wheeler on several occasions when he
sought to address the chair, but simply
looked in another direction. Should the
general again take his seat his recog-
milton would depend upon Speaker Hen
derson in the absence of a new report to
the house. The probability is, however,
that the speaker will leave the question
wholly for the house to determine.

A Dam lob BEING Matched.

A telegram from Washington a day OF
two ago stated that Judge Burch. coun-
sci for the government in the injunction
suit against the irrigation company
which proposed to build a dam at Ele.
plant Butte in order to irrigate lands
in Dona Ana county, has gone to the
City of Mexico to sound the Mexican
ly build a am at Ell Paso. The telegram
says that while the attorney represents
the department Of justice, he has tacit
authority from the state department to
look into this matter. The dispatch al
SO says it is understood in Washington
that the government desires to get its
grip on the river" through the courts,
and then have congress make a treaty
by which the Ell Paso dam can be built.
1t is also given out from Washington
that Judge Burch is to coax Mexico to
abandon the claim trumped up hat be-
cause some of her farmers cannot get
water from a river that goes dry before
it leaves the territory Mexico sold, they
SlIOulu udtC oil dWdIu VI %Gu, VuU,V WV,
which is just IS, 900, 900 more than Mex
leo asked and accepted from the United
States for ceding California, Arizona,
New Mexico and the lost claim on
Texas. All of the country of this vast
area except a small addition obtained
under the later Gadsden treaty for $780,
900, 900. was surrendered for less than is
now asked for the losses of several
scores of farmers.
The only redeeming feature of this
claim, the urging of which would make
Mexican diplomatists laughed at by the
civilized world, Is that 1T was never in
tended to present it and demand pay
ment. 1t vas prepared solely as a ghost
with which to enable schemers for a
dam to scare or influence congress to
build a storage reservoir dam for Ell
Paso and the people of Mexico, in the
vicinity of Juarez. Now an effort is be-
the United States and her desire to Gull
tivate friendly relations on the border,
and there are rumors that Mexico will
be willing to bear a third of the expense
of such work. In other words, Mexico
asks this country to be good enough to
pay a large sum for works that will aid
the foreign country, and the main
tenance of which contemplates prevent
ing any further appropriation Of waters
of the Rio Grande or it's tributaries. The
treaty which the Ell Paso syndicate and
the Mexican diplomatists have hereto +
fore submitted to congress and asked to
enacted declares that further ap-
shall be prevented. Such a
treaty would prevent the use of any |
water at any point in Colorado
and New Mexico than is now taken
the Rio Grande and it sutaries.
The Pecos would fall under the ban, as |
1t Is a tributary, and the Texas streams
find their way into the Rio Grande
could be used by irrigators.

Y IN THE EAST.

New Jersey illustrates the blight of
Organism perhaps more clearly than
any other state. 1t is naturally Demo-
cratic, yet it shows not the slightest in
dication Of swinging back, as that other
naturally Democratic state, Maryland,
has done. There is no reason to think it
ever will as long az Bryanism remains
a portent on the horizon, and as long as
the characterless leaders who have be-
stridden the party in Bryan's name re-
main in control. The respectable Dem
ocrats are evidently letting that crowd
as severely alone this year as they did
1896. Bryan is thus, in New Jersey,
as he is in Ohio and New York and
Pennsylvania, the savior of Republican
bosses. He denounces them, yet he
plays into their hands.

We shall not be at all surprised if

change that is going on in the positions
of public men on this Philippine matter
is the recent letter of Senator Tillman,

Clint Parkhurst's Novel.

Clint Parkhurst, An old-time tri-
city print, has written a semi-histor-
zeal romance entitled "A Military
Belle, the principal scenes of which
are located on the island of Rock ISL
and nearly seventy years ago, and in
the region Immediately surrounding
on the prairies of Illinois, Iowa and in
the woods of Wisconsin. The novel
is dedicated to the authors daughter,
Mabel, 4 resident of California. 1t is
being published in book form by a
New York house, and Clint says it is
only one of the many good things that
his pen will produce. He says it is
the first triumph which has bright
ened his life after long series of dis
couraging, hopeless and unhappy
wears.
