Surpassed Manila Rainy Season.

The weather bureau has issued a spe-
cial bulletin on the Brazos river flood
in Texas, from which it seems that the
atmospheric conditions that aused the
downpour of rains during the last four
days of June were Of quite local extent,
being confined almost entirely to the
watershed of the Brazos. At Turner's
Vile, in the center Of the heaviest rain
area, 33 inches fell in ninety hours.
1t seems that this particular section
of the country is subject to heavy rains,
for during the last twelve Junes over
10 inches of rain a month occurred nine
teen times in Texas. 1t is a significant
fact that the rains occurred SO far from
the gulf, over 25O miles, and that the
heaviest fall was on rising lands, from
500 to 1000 feet high, which may be con-
sidered an important factor in the pre-
cipitation. The flood was the most de-
structive in the history Of Texas, which
is saying a good deal, when the floods
of 1886, 1852, 1S43 and 1888 are considered.
The deep channel of the Brazos has
the capacity for carrying off a vast
amount of water, and destructive floods
consequently are rare, Notwithstanding
the heavy rains. In this instance, ac-
cording to the calculations of the direc-
tor Of the Texas climate and crop Sec
ton, the channel was called upon to
drain in fifteen days the same amount
Of water that it usually carries for the
three months of April, May and June.
In places 1t is said that the river was
more than twelve miles wide. The crest
OF the flood required fourteen days to
pass from central Texas into the gulf.
From the best estimates, the total loss
in stock, crop and farming implements
will aggregate nearly ten million dol
lars, and the loss of human lives be-
tween forty and fifty. Previous floods
have nearly always been in May, giving
the planters time to replant their crops,
but Notwithstanding the season being so

Shippinu WatermeIonS.

Arizona is shipping melons through
New Mexico to Louisville. When New
Mexico farmers get down to business
and ship melons and other things that
can be raised here prof1tably, places as
far away as Arizona and California Will
be losers, but citizens of this territory
will have more money. SO far as now
recalled the only effort at shipping wa
termelons from New Mexico was mace
in the Pecos valley in the late summer
after the Texas melon season had
closed. There was a demand for them,
and a Dallas firm agreed to take a cou-
pie of car loads at a good figure. An
inspired agent of the irrigation COM
pany had no trouble in securing the de-
sired number of excellent melons load
ed. When they We're on board he pro-
ceeded to close all doors and make the
cars air-tight, in the hottest day the
valley had known that year, although
they were not refrigerator cars. they
arrived at Dallas Saturday evening n
stood in the broiling sun all of Sunday.
When the cars were opened Monday
the melons were melting into shapeless
mush, and the smell caused an alarm to
be sent to the health board. Failures
to make shipment of produce pay can
generally be traced to some brilliant
blunder like this, although generally
charged to freight"

A Bond Complication.

Mexico may have reason to egret
that she sold bonds in the United States,
because litigation has been instituted
in New York, and the balance with her
bankers has been attached for an an
cient claim that will result in tying up
the money unless a compromise be ell
fected. When a revolution was in prog
ress to overthrow the empire of Maxi
milan, the Mexican states issued bonds
in order to procure funds with which
to carry on the war. When all the
states were federated some of them re-
pudiated bonds or paid them with the
bonds of the republic. A few of the
stockholders failed to exchange in TINS
way, and their bonds have been consld-
cred worthless. A Spectator who
| bought long a~o about $4,000, 900 of such
securities brought suit, and is said to
have obtained judgment for the race
value of the bonds with interest, but
was unable to find any property in the
United States to attach until the late
/ deal gave Mexico a balance in the New
| York bank. The claim with interest
| amounts to $40, 900, 900. The bonds cost
| the present owner very little money,
and the claim against Mexico has prob
| ably no more foundation han one would
have for payment of Confederate bonds
| But the claimant and his lawyers, per-
| haps, believe they can hold up the gov
eminent of Mexico, which Is in urgent
need of funds with which to cancel
| bonds held in Germany.

SELF-GOVERNMENT.
(A%lbuoueroue Citizen.)


New Mexico is more capable of self
government than many Of the states.
Colorado has a deficit of $500, 600 the
past year, and the state institutions are
liable to close for lack of appropria-
lions. This territory has never burned
negroes at the stake as has Georgia, and
has never lynched Italians as has Loui-
siana. The militia has never been called
out in this territory to quell rioters, as
is frequent in many Of the states. New
stitutions are all carefully provided for
by the territorial legislature. The
bonds of the territory and the counties
and the municipalities are all at par.
The debt Of the counties and cities can
not be increased, and are gradually be-
ing reduced. There are public schools
in all the counties, and good graded
schools in all the towns. Every school
district is compelled by law to build a
school house near the center of the dis
trict. The territorial treasury has
ly $500, 900 in cash on hand. Law and or
der prevails. No mobs are tolerated.
No strikes take place. No appeal for
aid for citizens has ever been issued by
New Mexico. The territory Is develop
ing its mines, fostering education, and
changing the arid lands into irrigated
farms and comfortable homes. With
the exception of a train robbery now
and then in remote localities, the ter
ritory is enjoying remarkable immunity
from lawlessness and crime.

The fruit of incompetence in the leg
islature of Colorado is now being pluck
ed, and is sou A poor revenue law
was passed, and the state is unable to
get funds sufficient to support terrific
rial institutions. The Legislature was q
hybrid body of f~usionists, intent on
making a reputation when elected, but
who developed into a body Of incompe-
tent boodlers. The governor is now I'M
der the necessity of asking bankers to
advance money to carry on the state
government, and trust to the next legls-
lature to refund the $250,000 needed.
Bankers seem willing to do this in or
der that no extra session of the legisla-
ture shall be called to make matters
worse. In New Mexico the people grew
tired of their revenue system, and elect
ed a competent Republican Legislature
which enacted q law that is resulting in
prompt payment of taxes, and the terri
tory is getting into excellent financial
condition.

The papers that break out premature

The papers that break out premature
ly with criticism Of the appointment of
a lawyer as secretary of war should
remember that Stanton was a lawyer,
and that he conducted a war as vigor-
ously as he did a legal battle. The new
secretary of war will be all the better
equipped because Of his legal knowl-
edge when it comes to conducting a
semi-military government in the Phil
ippine islands, and establishing a per-
manent system Of laws for the country.
Had m one with a military record
been named prejudices would have been
aroused among army men, as there were
when General Alger was chosen. The
new secretary has no enemies to begin
his undoing.
