The condition of the territorial insti-
tutions, educational, penal and eharita-
bic, are found therein.
About 20 pages of the report are de-
voted to brief description of the Is coun-
ties in the territory, containing every
thing of interest to prospective immi-
grants and present citizens in these
counties and to people throughout the
country, who desire reliable informa-
ton about New Mexico, it's people,
resources and prospects.
The report is most valuable from "
cry standpoint and will prove of great
benefit, although the number issued will
be but very limited. A copy
should be placed in the hands
of every senator and represent
ative in the coming congress, as
the volume abounds with facts and fig
ures, that shows New MeXico's true
condition and are a powerful and con-
vincing argument for the speedy admis-
sion of the territory as a sovereign state
of the Union.

Governor Otero's Annual Report.

The second annual report as executive
of the territory to the secretary of the
interior, of Hon. M. A. Otero, has just
been published by the government
printing office. 1t is a volume of 252
pages of printed matter, finely illustrat-
ed and with a very good map of the
territory.
1t is a most excellent reference book
and gives a correct statement of the
material resources, conditions and the
development of the territory. The gov
ernor therein estimates the population
of the territory to be 257, 900, exclusive
Of Indians, which latter he places at
5 1900, making a total of 2S2, 900.
He describes New Mexico's commend
able record in the matter Of furnish
ing volunteers during the recent I'M
pleasantness with Spain and takes oc-
casion to refer to the f1rst-class record
made by the people of this territory,
during the numerous and bloody In
dian wars from 1886 to 1883 and during
the war of the rebellion.
He recommends a liberal appropria-
ton for the repair and maintenance of
the historic old Governors palace in
Santa Fe. He also recommends an APP
preparation in the amount of $25, 900 for
carrying into effect the provisions of
the act approved June 81, 1898, making
donations of lands to the territory.
Quite a part of the report is devoted to
the subject of irrigation, and also to
the minerals and mineral Of
the territory. These important subjects
are handled with skill and in an inter-
esting manner, as also are the topics on
sheep, wool and the cattle industries Of
the territory. Mineral springs are well
written up and the important theme of
agriculture is thoroughly treated.
Full and complete educational statis-
tics concerning the higher territorial in
stitutions and schools, Indian schools
and public schools are given in the re-
port. The financial condition of the ter
ritory is given and many other matters
of interest, such as revenue collections,
surveys of public lands and private
land claims, the business of the fed
eral land offices, etc., are presented in
the report in a readable and instructive
manner.

The attitude of the Republican party

The attitude of the Republican party
of New Mexico has always been con
sistent on the question of the admission
of the territory as a state, We favored
the admission of the territory when the
Democratic party was united in their
opposition against it. We still favor
its admission, believing that there is no
good and substantial reason for keeping
us out of the Union as a state and be-
lieve that this can best be accomplished
by the election of a delegate to congress
who is in harmony with Republican
politics and neutrality-suspicious.

There exists no doubt in the minds of
of an act providing for the holding of a
constitutional convention during the
present year, by the territorial legis-
lative assembly, the holding of such
convention and the adoption of the right
kind of a constitution will convince the
56th congress that the people of this
territory are very much in earnest in
their demands for statehood and will
induce that congress to pass an ena-
bling act for New Mexico at it's first
session, so that the territory can be adj
mittea as a state during the year 1900.

people. If the governor wants anything
that is not right at hand all he has tc
