The war department has issued n
statement which shows conclusively
that the charge of carpet-bagging in
Cuba is utterly false. as far as the
custom-house is concerned. Out of 66S
employees in that branch of the ser
vice. only fifty. or less than pei
cent. are Americans. and half OF these
are employed at the headquarters in
Havana. and are rapidly giving place
to Cubans. Democratic lies are thus
being nailed as fast as they came our,
but it is hard to keep up with such in
genious falsifiers.

INDIAN STATISTICS.
The Indian Agents Make Their Annual
Reports to the Commissioner Of
Indian Affairs.

Indian Affairs.
The annual reports of Indian agents,
which have been received by the COM
missioner of Indian affairs, will be
printed in the form Of an appendix to
the report of the commissioner. The re-
port of N. s. Walpole, Indian agent Of
New Mexico, was printed in Governor
Otero's annual report for 1899, and re-
viewed in the New Mexican several
months ago. The following general sta
tistics are, however, of interest: The
entire Indian population is 297, 905, Of
which number $3.50 wore citizens
dress, while 31,923 wear a mixture Of
Indian and civilized clothing. Those
who can read number 1857, and 1884
can carry IN an ordinary conversation
in English. There are 1926 dwelling
houses built for Indians, 1883 of which
were built within the last year. The
number of births was 4,237 and the
deaths $3.50. Twenty-six Indians were
killed by whites and eve whites by
Indians. One Indian was killed by 9TH
er Indians. The number of Indian GRIM
inals punished was 1,469. There were
81, 655 Indian church members and 34s
church buildings upon the various res
ervations. The amount of money o
tributed during the last year by relig-
ious and other societies was: For edu-
cation, 1921, SIS: for general church
work, $119. 4O7; and $18,01s from New
York for the support Of the schools es-
tablished by that state.

The town whose people take pride in
their home surroundings is sure to at
tract visitors and settlers. If each house
owner would beautify his premises
many towns and cities would change
their appearance wonderfully. Beauti-
full gardens and neat homes also have
a great influence upon the rising gener-
alton, and on thai account alone every
mar who own or occupies a property
should make every effort to make it
look its best. 1t does not require a large
money outlay to have a beautiful gar
den, but even though it should, a beau
tiful garden and an attractive home are
ample reward in themselves for all the
expense and work put upon them. This
is the time of the year to make a start
in that direction, and there is no reason
In the world why New Mexico towns
should not look as beautiful as many of
the towns in southern California, which
are world-renowned for their beauty.

4 Satisfactory Growth.

To many the progress Of New Mexico
seems slow. They expect that every day
should experience a new boom, and that
the territory should hasten in giant
strides ahead of New York and Penn
%sylvania in less than a year. To young
blood it seems tedious waiting, this
slow and steady growth and progress,
which insures stability rather than I'M
stable progress. Yet, when the prog
ress is measured by years and decades,
rather than by days and weeks, 1t
seems wonderful. Men who lived in the
territory when the Santa Fe trail was
the ~thoroughfare to it and through it
are astonished when they visit New
Mexico now, at the great forward steps
that have been made. New Mexico is
at the threshold Of a larger and a
quicker growth, yet that which has
been achieved the past fifty years is
encouraging and wonderful.

The Facts As They Are.

Politics in New Mexico appear to be
very much Of a personal affair. Govern
or Otero's representative has agreed to
send 10 E. Sheridan and w. H. Jack to
the Philadelphia convention If Grant
county Republicans will not fight the
governor. The masses cansit down and
suck their thumbs while these little
personal arrangements are being made.
-El Paso News.
The above is an unmitigated fake.
Governor Otero had no representative
in Grant county other than hundreds Of
Republican voters who approve of his
administration. No representative of
his had agreed to send 10 f. Sheridan
and w. H. Jack to the Philadelphia
convention, and the name Of 10 E. Sher-
idan has not been mentioned as a can
didate for delegate to the said conven-
ton. The name of Mr.. Jack has been
mentioned by the Ration Range, a paper
in the extreme northern part Of the ter
ritory, and very friendly to Mr.. Jack,
and by this journal and the governor
had absolutely nothing to do with that.
Neither Mr. Sheridan nor Mr.. Jack are
delegates to the Socorro convention,
and 1t Is understood that they were not
candidates for the honor. The Grant
county Republican convention, held last
Thursday, strongly and unequivocally
Endorsed Governor Otero's administra-
ton. 1t Is safe to say that out of a thou
sand Republican voters in Grant county
three-fourths are representatives Of
Governor Otero, inasmuch as they APP
prove of his official acts, support his adj
ministration and honor and respect
him.

There are some enlightened Demo-
Gratis who still hope against hope that
their party leaders will come to their
senses and will drop all their old clap
trap about free silver. anti-expansion
and denunciation of capital, and will
instead make the presidential fight on
the questions Of the hour. such as the
best form of government for the new
colonies. the Nicaragua canal question,
and the best methods of dealing with
trusts. But their hopes r vain, for
you cannot teach an old dog new
tricks and the Democratic party will
march into the next campaign with all
their old trappings and tinsel, with the
hope of fooling six million voters, but
they'll fool no one but themselves.

The assessors throughout the terri
sessing property. Their work Is of great
Importance to the territory, and while
excessive valuation can do considerable
harm in d~iscouragtng enterprise, yet 1t
is differentiation of property that
makes counties and the territory APP
pear much poorer than they are, and
causes the tax rate to be apparently ex-
cessive. The present valuation of the
territory could be doubled without do
ing any one an injustice, and doubling
the valuation would eventually cut the
tax rate In half.

NOT MUGWUMP RESOLUTIONS.
(Socorro Chieftain.)

\"SSoAAS
The resolutions adopted by the Socor-
no county convention have much to
commend them to Republicans. They
express exactly the sentiments that are
dominant in the mind and heart Of ev-
cry mar who Is loyal to the principles
of Republicanism.
The st. Louis convention gave the
latest enunciation of Republican prn-
and to those principles these res
olutions declare renewed allegiance.
The administration of President Nc
Kinley has been accompanied by an in
creased respect for the United States
among the nations of the earth, and by
a notable improvement in industrial
conditions. This Is a state Of affairs
which every Republican believes will
result from the prevalence Of the prin-
ciples he processes. The resolutions
most heartily indorse" the administra-
ton of President Mckinley. Governor
Otero's administration has found favor
in the sight of a large majority Of the
Republicans of New Mexico. The reso.
buttons heartily indorse" Gov. Otero's
liable and honest" administration. The
present judiciary of New Mexico COM
mands the confidence and respect of all
parties alike. and the resolutions ex-
press that confidence and respect. The
affairs of Socorro county have been
managed by those now in Office to the
satisfaction of a majority of the voters
of the county. The resolutions zap
prove and indorse" this management.
1t appears, then. that the committee
acted with no little insight in their de-
alterations, and 1t is not to be wondered
at that the sentiments expressed In
their resolutions meet with so ready re-
Spouse from the members Of the con-
vention.

Capitalists assert that within the
next few years enough sugar factories
will be erected in the United States to
manufacture at home all the sugar con-
sumed in this country. Several of those
factories will doubtless be located in
New 1-,Iico, which can raise the best
beets in the world. Santa Fee, Las We

those who fight the battles who suffer,

To many newcomers in New Mexico
1t seems queer that water is not as free
as air, and that often costly lawsuits
are waged over a water right that In
the eastern states would not be consid-
cred Of any value. But If the New York
project to convert on a large scale air
into oxygen, nitrogen and carbonic acid
gases for commercial purposes succeeds
the fasteners may 500 see the novelty
OF people having lawsuits v air
rights and Of paying so much per cubic
yard for the air they breathe.
